Chapter 175: A Celestial Being
Translator: _Min_
Though they wanted to avoid Gu Zhi, their allowances were controlled by their parents. Hence, they had no choice but to cl.u.s.ter around her, offering insincere compliments.
“Zhizhi, your dress looks fantastic. When this design first came out, 1 pestered my dad for so long to buy it for me, but he said we couldn’t afford it.”
“It’s not the dress that’s beautiful, it’s Zhizhi herself who makes the dress look good.”
“Exactly, it’s Zhizhi who’s beautiful!”
“Zhizhi, your hair is so thick and luscious, and your skin so fair and soft. You look like a little princess. Meanwhile, my hair is falling out in clumps, and my skin is dark and rough. Do you have any skincare products you’d recommend?”
“Zhizhi probably can’t recommend any; she’s naturally beautiful and no amount of skincare can replicate that!”
For some time, Gu Zhi had been taking care of Gu Dai, and her hands had developed calluses. Her complexion had also dulled due to fatigue. Even the gown she wore tonight was one that Gu Dai had worn three years ago.
Yet, amid the praise from these girls, Gu Zhi was on cloud nine, completely forgetting her current circ.u.mstances. She covered her mouth and replied shyly, “Oh, come on! All of you look great too. I’m only a little bit more beautiful, not as much as you’re making it out to be!”
The girls felt nauseated by Gu Zhi’s words, but they could only fake smiles and agree with her.
Listening to the surrounding flattery, and recalling Gu Dai’s recent tough treatment of her, a sinister thought flashed in Gu Zhi’s eyes.
Lowering her head, she sighed, “Although I’m pretty, my sister Gu Dai is even more beautiful than I am.”
The girls immediately understood Gu Zhi’s intentions. After all, it was public knowledge in the capital that a young woman named Gu Dai had ousted Gu Ming from his Chairman position.
They exchanged glances and harmonized their responses.
“Zhizhi, I’ve never met Gu Dai, but with you being this beautiful, there’s no way she could be prettier than you.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. n.o.body could be prettier than you.”
“Just hearing the name ‘Gu Dai,’ you can tell she’s probably not that good-looking.”
Suddenly, the chatter and laughter that filled the hotel evaporated, giving way to a hush that slowly enveloped the room.
Gu Zhi furrowed her brows in confusion, her eyes following the crowd’s gaze toward the hotel entrance.
What she saw was a captivating couple stepping in—so striking that everything around them seemed to pale in comparison. The lights s.h.i.+mmered down upon them as if they were deities descended from the heavens.
A collective gasp rose, mouths agape in awe, as everyone involuntarily held their breaths at the sight of them.
Gu Dai felt rather bewildered to see the previously bustling hall go silent as she and Su Ting entered.
She turned her eyes toward him and asked, “Is there something odd about what I’m wearing, or is something else amiss? Why is everyone staring at us?”
Su Ting looked at her intently, then hesitated before saying, “Could it be because a strand of your hair has fallen out of place?”
Thinking that was a possibility, Gu Dai raised her hand to tuck the stray hair behind her ear.
However, Su Ting gently grabbed her hand, saying, “Let me do it for you, Sis. 1 wouldn’t want to mess up your hairstyle.”
Unable to see the specific issue, Gu Dai simply nodded, replying, “Alright.”
Bending down, Su Ting delicately swept her hair back behind her ear and announced, “There, all done.”
As her hair settled into place, the room’s atmosphere changed dramatically again, this time it erupted into cheers and excited chatter.
“Oh my G.o.d, they’re both incredibly good-looking! Who are they? If they’re celebrities, I’m becoming a fan starting today!”
“You don’t recognize Su Ting? He’s an international supermodel. I don’t know who the woman is, but she’s stunning—like a celestial being!”
“This must be the work of a divine sculptor. We, mere clay figures slung together, can’t compare!”
Hearing the surrounding admiration, Gu Zhi’s expression darkened progressively, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with jealousy as she glared at Gu Dai..
