1436 Relying On Clothes
However, when it came to Lu Beichen, most other wealthy families did not dare to compare with the Lu family.
Ceng Kai was actually a nice person. He was just a little shy and Gu Jingyan did not dislike him. Thus, she had a conversation with him.
Upstairs.
The group of people looked at the people below.
"Who's that talking so enthusiastically with Gu Jingyan?"
Fu Chenxi saw and said weakly, "I think he's quite rich too. I've seen him before." She said carefully, unsure.
Boss Xu looked down and laughed."Miss, there's nobody we don't know who is rich in B City. If we don't know them, that means they're not rich enough."
Fu Chenxi was even more embarrassed upon hearing that.
She had always been careful with her words, worried that she would say something wrong and become a joke to others. At that moment, she didn't dare say anything more.
"Don't tell me that guy is going after Gu Jingyan, " Little Q said.
Boss Xu said, "Ha, seriously. Does he know who Gu Jingyan is? Chasing her? She's not easy to chase. When the Gu family picks a son-in-law, they're bound to be very stringent. There was a royal from England who went over last year. He asked to date Gu Jingyan, hoping that she would study overseas. The Gu family disagreed vehemently. How much better can this guy be?"
Lu Beichen looked down and scoffed."Alright, it's already not bad that someone wants to go after this tigress. Who cares who it is?"
"Hey, it's not very kind of you to say these words. Gu Jingyan is pretty after all. You don't know how many people are dying to go after her. It's only because she's the fourth young mistress of the Gu family that they don't dare to..."
Lu Beichen replied, "Haha, how are you so blind?"
The group of them shook their heads, speechless."Alright, we're not taking part in your argument. Let's go down and have a look."
"You can go if you want. I'm not going."
Lu Beichen proudly continued to eat his food, unwilling to move from his spot.
The group was exasperated. They could only go down and look for Gu Jingyan on their own.
The two of them did not bother about each other, making others feel exasperated.
The two of them were both stubborn beyond words, nobody could convince them.
The next day.
Gu Jingyan was heading home after class. She bumped into Ceng Kai who greeted her.
He got into a low profile Bentley car, with a driver at the front.
Indeed, his family was also considered to be quite wealthy.
"Let's go. I'll send you back. Where do you live?"
Gu Jingyan did not want him to know her identity so she said, "It's alright. I can get home myself. You go on first. I don't want to head home just yet. I want to go to another place."
"Is that so? I can give you a lift."
"No thanks."
"Alright, then you be careful."
Gu Jingyan thanked him and watched his car leave.
Just then, Lu Beichen's red Ferrari was being driven out from the back, very arrogantly. It went past Gu Jingyan's, lightly brushing her side.
Gu Jingyan stood still and looked on with anger.
Pity he had already gone over. He would not hear it even if she scolded him.
It was getting closer to New Year's day and the school had started preparing for the New Year's party.
Although it was a reputable school, it was not that rigid. They often held events and parties of sorts and they even have some interest groups. The school's ultimate goal was to have their students be developed in all areas and have abilities surpassing the masses.
Thus, the school believed that it is important to nurture social skills as it would be of help in their futures.
It was the juniors' first time at the party and they were somewhat anxious and excited about it. Everyone discussed what they were going to wear.
Fu Chenxi had intended to ask Gu Jingyan. She did not have any ideas of her own and had wanted to seek Gu Jingyan's opinion.
However, with the argument between Gu Jingyan and Lu Beichen, she had no opportunity to ask.
Just then, Lu Beichen looked at Fu Chenxi."What's wrong? You look dull."
Fu Chenxi said, "That... I don't know what I should wear to the party."
Though in a difficult spot, she did not want to dress poorly and make Lu Beichen look bad.
"Oh, the party... Anything. There are no requirements." Lu Beichen said casually.
Fu Chenxi replied, "But I don't have any skirts. I'm not sure if I should wear a dress then."
Lu Beichen looked at her."Let's go."
Pulling her up and heading out, Fu Chenxi asked, "Where are we going?"
"We're going to buy you a skirt."
Fu Chenxi had never been to such an upscale store.
Changing into those high-end skirts, she felt she had become distinguished in an instant.
Moreover, the staff compliments also made her feel refreshed.
She had never dared to look in whenever she passed by this place. She always felt that the store's staff would give judgmental looks. If they saw her looking in, they would definitely look at her with disdain.
So whenever she walked past, she acted as though she knew where she stood and would not like the clothes here.
Honestly. Which girl would not like pretty skirts?
All the skirts here were beautiful.
Even if there were imitations outside, the feeling was ultimately different. Perhaps, this was the power of money.
Fu Chenxi tried on several pieces. Lu Beichen was generous and he bought them all right away.
Fu Chenxi felt bad."This is very expensive. So expensive... spending a few tens of thousands."
Lu Beichen said, "It's nothing. Let's go."
Fu Chenxi looked at his side profile and smiled lightly. She thought that if he was willing to spend money on her without a care, it meant that he still liked her somehow.
However, Fu Chenxi never understood why he had chosen her to be his girlfriend. She did not understand and knew the difference between them was huge. So sometimes, she felt guilty and felt like she was stealing him.
Somehow, she thought that one day, he would leave her...
The party started on a happy note.
Fu Chenxi entered the hall and felt that she had bought the right clothes.
Everyone who entered was dressed to the nines.
Especially those who were in years two and three. Whoever had more experience was dressed better.
The first years were not any less dressed. The students who were usually in uniforms looked vibrant and especially good looking when they dressed up.
Fu Chenxi was noticed by several people when she entered.
"Is that Fu Chenxi?"
"Wow, it's different when she's with Young Master Lu. What a beautiful figure."
"The clothes look expensive. Clothes really make a difference. She looked much prettier than she usually is."
Everyone looked at Fu Chenxi in surprise and amazement.
From behind, the moment Lu Beichen arrived and walked along her side, everyone started sighing.
Fu Chenxi unknowingly hooked onto Lu Beichen's arm. For the first time, she felt that standing beside me, she was not that weak anymore. Indeed, clothes are really important.
She smiled and under everyone's gaze, she walked in with Lu Beichen.
At a distance, she saw that Boss Xu and Little Q had already arrived.
