Gu Nianzhi restrained her temper as she listened to it for a long time. She looked calmer. She had a smile on her face that was so aloof and indifferent that Gu Yanran couldn’t tell what was behind it.

“Finished?” Gu Nianzhi looked up at her. She knew that if she could not persevere at that time, Gu Yanran would talk for a while. She stretched out her hand and took the invitation. “OK. If I’m free tomorrow, I will go.”

“Awesome! Nianzhi, just use my name when you go tomorrow. I will send people to bring you inside.” It was clear that the happiness was from Gu Yanran’s heart.

Gu Nianzhi said nothing.

She looked at the invitation in her hand. “Having this invitation still wouldn’t get me inside? I still need to go find Ms. Gu to get in? Then, what good is the invitation? I’ll just use your name tomorrow.”

Gu Nianzhi returned the invitation to Gu Yanran again.

Gu Yanran quickly corrected herself and winked at her and said, “Of course not. Nianzhi, of course you can also go by bringing this invitation, but if you use my name and say that you are my little sister, they will be more respectful toward you. Furthermore, you wouldn’t have to wait in line. You could come in immediately. Isn’t it that great? Didn’t you say that you are busy?”

Gu Nianzhi made an indifferent “uh-huh” sound. “OK, I’ll look at tomorrow’s schedule,” she said as she put the invitation into her bookbag carelessly. She stepped on the pedal. “I’m going to go.”

“You have to come tomorrow!” Gu Yanran waved her hand at her. Then she went back to her own car.

Gu Nianzhi parked her bike in the bicycle parking shed and raised her eyes to look at Gu Yanran’s car driving away with an air of superiority. There were motorcycles in the front and in the back making way for it. It was very ostentatious and extravagant. Gu Nianzhi curled her lips in disbelief at Gu Yanran’s habit of bullying-others-by- flaunting-her-powerful-connections. She really was speechless.

She carried the bookbag on her back as she came out from the bicycle parking shed. Just as she was about to enter the dormitory, she heard someone call her name behind her. This time, it was Yin s.h.i.+xiong’s voice. Gu Nianzhi’s face bloomed into a smile.

She turned and faced Yin s.h.i.+xiong, who was standing under the stairs with open arms. “Big Xiong! Are you here to see Qiqi?”

Yin s.h.i.+xiong gasped.

If it weren’t for a certain person who was in the shadows keeping an eye on him in an unknown place, he would have complained about it while crying to Gu Nianzhi… but he was there to see Qiqi. He was “forced” to see Qiqi! Of course, he could only gladly endure the hards.h.i.+p.

“Nianzhi, it’s like this.” Yin s.h.i.+xiong took out two invitations from his pocket. “This is an invitation for the prime minister’s daughter’s birthday party at the Prime Minister’s Residence tomorrow. I want to ask Qiqi to go with me…”

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes brightened and patted Yin s.h.i.+xiong’s shoulder hard. “Good job, Big Xiong! Keep it up!”

“…But, on the phone Qiqi said that she’s not used to that kind of event and that she doesn’t want to go.” Yin s.h.i.+xiong forced a smile. “I’m wondering, could you help me and go to the banquet at the Prime Minister’s Residence with Qiqi?”

Gu Nianzhi thought about how Gu Yanran had just specifically come to give her the invitation. Her eyeball moved and said, “OK, but can you let me see the invitation?”

Yin s.h.i.+xiong quickly put the invitation in Gu Nianzhi’s hand. Gu Nianzhi looked at it. It was almost exactly like the invitation that Gu Yanran had given her. However, the invitation she got had her name on it, whereas the two invitations that Yin s.h.i.+xiong had didn’t have names on them. That was a bit interesting.

At first, Gu Nianzhi didn’t want to go. It was a no brainer that since Gu Yanran came to specifically give her the invitation, she had to go to the event. She wouldn’t let her feel comfortable. Why would she bring trouble upon herself?

But, seeing how rare it was for Yin s.h.i.+xiong to ask and that it was to go see the world with Qiqi — and especially because it was to see the real people that they hated on Weibo — it looked like it would be very interesting…

Gu Nianzhi thought about it and she nonchalantly asked, “It’s Tan Guiren’s birthday party, right? What about her mother, Cai Songyin? Will she be present?”

She knew that on the day Cai Songyin was driven mad at court that she lost control of her feelings and was temporarily detained. That was why the person who would host Tan Guiren’s party would not be her own mother, but the person with a strange ident.i.ty, Gu Yanran.

Yin s.h.i.+xiong secretly smiled as he looked to his left and right. He moved close to Gu Nianzhi’s ear and whispered, “…This is the specially prepared birthday present we are going to give Ms. Tan. At that time, not only will Ms. Tan be shocked, but even the Prime Minister and his pretty a.s.sistant might also be surprised…”

“They have a really good appet.i.te. Even if it were a whale from deep in the sea, they would still eat it.” Gu Nianzhi made fun of her in an indifferent manner as she thought of how just then ,Gu Yanran had that overweening and arrogant look. She was suddenly very interested in tomorrow’s party.

She looked down at the invitations that were in Yin s.h.i.+xiong’s hand and spurted out, “…This is Huo Shao’s idea, right?”

“How did you know?!” Yin s.h.i.+xiong had a fake “panic-stricken” expression. He even put on an act and looked around him.

Gu Nianzhi immediately knew that Huo Shaoheng was probably nearby.
