Gu Qingchen was speechless, but she still gave Rong Yu a thumbs-up. “It’s said that all businessmen are evil. It seems that I should learn something from you.”
After saying that, Gu Qingchen heard Young Master Rong’s soft laughter. “Learning from me requires tuition fees. Someone as magnanimous as you wouldn’t take advantage of me, right?”
These were Gu Qingchen’s words just now, but Rong Yu used them to tease her. His tone was full of teasing.
Gu Qingchen smiled slightly and said in a light tone, “Oh? I don’t like to take advantage either. I like to take advantage of the rich ones. It just so happens that you are very rich!”
“Hahaha! You know how to live and learn. You indeed have the potential to be a businesswoman. Since we are so familiar with each other, just call me by my name from now on.”
Gu Qingchen was stunned. She had heard from Butler Qin that very few people could call Rong Yu by his name. Even people like her Master and Tang Feng called Rong Yu “Young Master Rong”.
However, she was genuine person and was not so shy. She immediately said, “Alright, Rong Yu. Since we are so familiar with each other, you can also call me by my name also.”
Rong Yu smiled and shook his head, “I still think it’s more intimate to call you Doctor Gu.”
Gu Qingchen was a little surprised. Rong Yu had already asked her to call him by his name, but he was not willing to change the way he addressed her. He was really a strange person.
However, it did not matter what he called her. It was just a form of address, as long as it was comfortable.
“As you wish.”
Very soon, the car arrived at the venue of the banquet. It was not in a hotel, but in a private villa in the suburbs of City Y. Gu Qingchen had never known that there was such a building in the suburbs of City Y, there was actually such an ancient castle-like building.
Therefore, one would never know how big the world was until they reached a certain location. They would never know that there was another way to view the world.
Before getting out of the car, Rong Yu said, “In front of them, I’m just a cripple.”
Gu Qingchen could hear the hidden meaning behind such a brainless sentence. Indeed, she had always thought that Rong Yu was a cripple and needed to sit in a wheelchair. However, she only found out later that Rong Yu could actually walk, he did not have any physical defects.
She did not know why Rong Yu pretended to be disabled, but every word he said was not a casual remark. He was telling her not to reveal that he could walk.
Gu Qingchen nodded, “Don’t worry.”
They were all smart people. One word could make Rong Yu understand.
After the two of them got off the car, Gu Qingchen, dressed in a long dark green dress, pushed Rong Yu’s wheelchair and slowly walked towards the villa’s door.
The person at the door saw Rong Yu’s figure and immediately came forward to greet him. He said respectfully, “Eldest Young Master, you’re here.”
Rong Yu only smiled and nodded, but his eyes were distant, just like usual.
“Butler Mo, thank you for your hard work.”
When Butler Mo heard this, his body bent even lower. He was still very respectful, “Eldest Young Master, please forgive me. This is my duty. Eldest Young Master and this young lady, this way please. Everyone is here, just waiting for Eldest Young Master.”
When Butler Mo saw Gu Qingchen, he was also stunned. However, as a well-trained person, he quickly reacted. However, his heart was full of shock and doubt. Didn’t Young Master not get close to women and had a strong obsession with cleanliness?
With the doubt in his heart, Butler Mo personally led Rong Yu and Gu Qingchen into the front hall. As soon as the door was pushed open, everyone looked over. The originally lively hall suddenly quieted down, and the atmosphere was a little strange.
Rong Yu sat there with a smile on his face. With just a glance, he could instantly catch everyone’s eyes. All the women were in a panic, and their faces were red.
Some women even looked at Gu Qingchen with hostility. If a gaze could kill a person, Gu Qingchen would have died countless times.
Butler Mo secretly sized up Gu Qingchen. Logically speaking, an ordinary woman would definitely react to such a situation.
Either she was embarrassed, or she was proud. However, Gu Qingchen’s expression did not change. She was still as indifferent as ever. After careful observation, he could actually see some traces of Young Master Rong.
Butler Mo secretly praised her in his heart. It seemed that this girl was not old, but she had an admirable temperament.
In the past, he had always wondered what kind of woman would be worthy of Rong Yu. Today, when he saw Gu Qingchen, he suddenly realized that this girl was not bad. No wonder she was brought here by Rong Yu.
However, in the past, Young Master Rong rarely attended such banquets. Even if he did, Butler Qin would always be by his side. Not a single woman had appeared. Everyone was used to Young Master Rong not getting close to women. Of course, there were also many women who were restless. They thought that if Young Master Rong did not have women by his side, perhaps they would have a chance.
Today, Gu Qingchen had suddenly appeared here. These women naturally felt a sense of danger. That deep hostility, even Butler Mo felt a headache when he saw them.
Gu Qingchen just stood there indifferently. She was neither servile nor overbearing, neither happy nor sad. He could see that this girl was not pretending to be calm, but she was really very calm.
After a moment of silence in the hall, someone immediately came to welcome them. It was two men. One was wearing a black gown and a pair of rimless glasses. When they saw Rong Yu, they were pleasantly surprised.
The other was wearing a peach-pink shirt. The cufflinks on the cuffs were very eye-catching, and the collar of the shirt was slightly open. He was younger than the man in the black gown. Although he came to welcome Rong Yu, he did not welcome Rong Yu with his eyes.
“Young Master Rong is here. If uncle knew you were here, he would be very happy. Come inside quickly. Uncle is chatting with some old friends inside. I will take you there.”
The man in the black dress was the first to speak. His voice was very honest, and he seemed to take care of Rong Yu.
“Then I will have to trouble you, Brother Rui.”
Rong Yu smiled and nodded at Rong Rui. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and it made people feel very comfortable.
“Cheh! pretending. I say, Big Brother, your legs are not good either. I really don’t know why you are here. Do you have to remind others that there is a disabled person in our Rong Family?”
The man in the pink shirt raised his eyes slightly, and even looked at Gu Qingchen disdainfully. He snorted coldly, “I don’t know where you got such a young girl. Big Brother, it can’t be that no other woman is willing to accompany you to such an occasion, right? Haha, who would be willing to participate in such an occasion with a disabled person? They would lose all their face. Don’t you think so, Big Brother?”
The man who spoke was Rong Yu’s younger brother. However, he was not his direct brother, but the son of Rong Yu’s father’s third wife. They had the same father and different mother. His name was Rong Cheng, and he was the youngest son of the Rong family. He was doted by everyone in the family, which was why he was so arrogant due to his pampering. He did not even put Rong Yu, his big brother, in his eyes.
“Little cousin, watch your tone. No matter what, Young Master Rong is still your big brother. How can he talk to your brother like that?”
Rong Rui said in an imposing manner. However, there was no harsh criticism in his tone. Rong Cheng, this arrogant person, actually did not refute Rong Rui’s words. It seemed that he listened to Rong Rui more than Rong Yu.
