Gu Qiqi initially didn’t want to pay attention to these people.
She was here to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday, not to socialize with these unrelated cousins.
But these people became more and more ridiculous as they spoke. They even mentioned Xiaobei’s eyesight.
She had always been protective.
Immediately, he said unhappily, “Could it be that I remembered the day wrongly? Isn’t today Grandfather’s birthday banquet?”
Everyone was stunned.
Gu Yuanyuan raised her chin and laughed. “Are you looking for an excuse to explain your shabby appearance? Don’t you think that you’re embarrassing me by wearing this kind of outfit? Look at which one of us isn’t dressed appropriately?”
Gu Xuexue pretended to be kind. “Sister, if you really don’t have any clothes to wear, I can lend them to you. Really! Auntie Qiu, go to my room and get a few pieces. There’s also an old dress from last year under the box. Let Sister wear it.”
Auntie Qiu was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do.
Young Lady Qiqi was taller and thinner than Young Lady Xuexue. How could she possibly wear Young Lady Xuexue’s clothes?
When the time came, her skirt would be short, her sleeves would be short, and she would look so fat. Wasn’t this deliberately humiliating Young Lady Qiqi?
Xiaobei also understood this meaning. He gnashed his teeth and said, “Who cares about your clothes? My older sister is ten thousand times better looking than you!”
“Heh heh, isn’t it a great joke for a blind person to say that someone looks good? Hahaha!” Gu Yuanyuan and a group of people laughed even more wantonly.
Gu Qiqi interrupted them coldly. “Since it’s Grandpa’s birthday banquet today, why are you performing the story of Snow White, and the seven dwarfs here? You’re dressed so well in this costume. It’s really very appropriate. You’re making Grandpa proud!”
Gu Qiqi’s seemingly calm words made everyone’s laughter stop abruptly.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at themselves and the other party.
Once Gu Qiqi said it, it was true!
Although Gu Yuanyuan’s purple-red gown was luxurious, the color was too dark. It was very old and exaggerated. It really looked like the poisonous queen from a fairytale.
Gu Xuexue’s white tutu skirt was too childish. She looked like Snow White. The others following behind her… were the seven dwarfs!
Immediately, Gu Yuanyuan and the others’ faces turned green.
Gu Yuanyuan roared at Gu Xuexue in anger, “Didn’t you say that this burgundy dress is the most expensive? It turns out that you’re hiding this little trick to become Snow White and let me be the poison queen? You deliberately helped me choose such an old-fashioned dress! Gu Xuexue, you’re so bold! I really underestimated you!”
As she spoke, she still couldn’t vent her anger. She slapped Gu Xuexue, and half of her face flushed red.
Originally, Gu Xuexue should be very happy to be called Snow White.
However, in this situation, she became the target of everyone.
It was also her fault for trying to rope everyone in. Before the banquet, she tirelessly helped every cousin with ideas and suggestions, making her seem especially sensible and especially capable of getting along with everyone so that she could take the opportunity to isolate Gu Qiqi.
But she never expected that Gu Qiqi’s words would cause the opposite effect!
She sobbed. “I… I didn’t… Sister Yuan, I really didn’t… Gu Qiqi said that you’re the Poison Queen.”
She covered her face and explained carefully.
She hated Gu Qiqi to the core.
Indeed, Gu Yuanyuan’s attention was diverted. “Gu Qiqi, you country bumpkin. You’re dressed so shabbily yourself, but you still have the cheek to mock us? Even I, the Poison Empress, am more noble than you. Do you think that your lousy shirt can compare to my gown? Also, that bare neck and hands of yours doesn’t even have a decent necklace or bracelet. You’re really a country bumpkin…”
Just as she finished speaking, a little cousin suddenly exclaimed loudly!
“Eh? This brooch on Big Sister Qiqi is…”
