Chapter 792: Here to Kidnap the Groom (2)
Her arrogance disappeared instantly, as if her anger were cooled down by the chilled champagne dripping from her hair when she saw the woman with head held high in front of her.
That was because the woman standing in front of her was Gu Xue, the little princess of the Gu family, cousin of Gu Yu.
Gu Xiong were expelled from the Gu family initially and lost all his shares previously, turning him into a joke of the community for quite a while. He made a comeback to the Gu Corporation for reason unknown and his family appeared in the limelight more often than before.
No one would purposely provoke Gu Xue, for she had always been arrogant. Now that her father had become more popular, she was even more so. Thus, everyone would only try to avoid crossing path with Gu Xue. This woman could only count herself unlucky for offending Gu Xue for the reason unknown to her.
“Oh? I thought you have a lot to say earlier? You’re now a mute?”
She was an Internet celebrity with low popularity. Embarrassed for having a champagne doused on her head, she now felt even more embarrassed for being criticized in the public by Gu Xue. Even though she was filled with resentment, she dared not say a word against Gu Xue. She could only put on a weak smile and tried to defend herself. “Miss Gu, I was only joking…”
“Joking? Where did you get the nerve to joke around with my sister?” Gu Xue sneered, “Since you like to joke around so much, then I’ll joke around with you too.”
Gu Xue took out a lipstick from her bag and unscrewed the lid. She gave her a smug smile. “Your makeup is smudged. Let me help you with it.”
She went forward and squeezed the woman’s chin with one hand, then ran her lipstick in the other hand over the woman’s face in a zigzag motion. She released her chin after she was done drawing the woman’s face with her lipstick, then took out her phone and snapped a quick photo of the woman’s face.
Displaying the picture in front of the woman, she said, “I’ll post it on my social network. Did you not say you can’t be famous if you’re not shameless enough? I’ll help make you famous, there’s no need to thank me for that. You’re most welcomed.”
That woman was already in an extremely sorry state with her face being drawn on like she just came out from a horror supernatural movie scene. Gu Xue was a famous socialite in the circle. If she were to post her ugly photos in her social media, she would be shunned by the community and exiled from the circle of the elites.
She got really panicked and kept begging for mercy from Gu Xue. “Miss Gu, I was wrong. I sincerely apologize. It was my foul mouth that said all the wrong things. I will never do it ever again.”
“It’s useless for you to beg me. I’m famous for having a cruel heart. Perhaps you can beg for forgiveness from my pretty and kind hearted sister. I’ll let you go if she’s willing to forgive you.”
The poor woman understood every word that came out from Gu Xue’s mouth and immediately turned towards Xu Weilai, who was standing by her side, begging her for mercy. “Miss Xu, I was wrong. I’m apologize. I won’t speak another nonsensical word. Please let me go this time.”
Xu Weilai couldn’t be bothered with her. She said plainly, “You’ll be fine if you keep your mouth shut. I don’t want to see you around. Be on your way.”
The woman understood what Xu Weilai meant and left without another word.
Gu Xue was obviously making her an example for the others. The rest of the crowd dispersed. None dared to gossip nor made another unkind remark of Xu Weilai.
Gu Xue walked towards Xu Weilai and stood facing her. The arrogant little princess instantly turned into an adorable little sweetheart. “Sister Weilai.”
Xu Weilai raised her hand and rubbed her head. She smiled and said, “Thank you, Xue’er.”
“What are you thanking me for? This is what I should do. Even if you’re no longer my sister-in-law, you’re still my sister. Whoever dares to bully people I cared of, I’ll let her have a taste of what it means to be bullied.”
Her tone turned serious after a pause. “Sister-in-law, I’ll still help you even if you’re here to kidnap the groom.”
Xu Weilai was speechless at Gu Xue’s offer.
She did not know why Xiao Chun and Xu Weilai would think she wanted to kidnap the groom.
Xu Weilai thought it through and did not deny. “I need your help.”
