As soon as Gu Qingchen opened the door, she came face to face with Shui Anluo’s large eyes.

Shui Anluo stared back at her. “So beautiful,” she blurted out loud.

Gu Qingchen’s beauty was well-known. She had a standard oval face, large eyes like a doll, small cherry lips and willowy brows. Plus, she had a high nose bridge. If it had not been for that head of black hair, Shui Anluo would have thought that she was an American.

“Woah, woah, this little girl sure is a sweet-talker.” Gu Qingchen surveyed Shui Anluo from head to toe. “So this cheongsam was made for you. Qianchen had previously mentioned that she liked it but Auntie said that this was special.” Gu Qingchen said as she walked over. “Indeed, the mother is clearly relying on her son to rise this year.”

Shui Anluo had initially exclaimed over Qingchen’s beauty but her expression changed after she heard what she said.

The mother was relying on her son to rise. These words were clearly a slap in the face and implied that she was using her child to cling onto Chu Ningyi.

“What rubbish are you sprouting?” Chu Ningyi looked up and said in a deep voice.

Shui Anluo looked down. Her face was fiery hot.

“Oh, nothing. I was wondering what kind of amazing date you had found since you didn’t want Qianchen as your date.” Gu Qingchen shrugged. Shui Anluo’s collective traits were no match for Lin Qianchen in her heart.

“Gu Qingchen, that’s enough.” Chu Ningyi looked at the girl who’s head was facing the ground. His frown grew even deeper. “If you have nothing else to do, scram.”

‘Gu Qingchen?’

Shui Anluo knew who she was when she heard this name. After all, she had gotten to know every single person in the Chu family that year including his relatives in order to understand Chu Ningyi better.

“Miss Gu, it’s a good thing to be bold and outspoken but can you also consider the feelings of others before you speak? After all, being outspoken might not necessarily be a compliment.” Shui Anluo looked up and retaliated without mincing her words.

Gu Qingchen had not antic.i.p.ated that the person who looked like a bimbo would be able to bite back at her. At this moment, she narrowed her eyes.

Shui Anluo looked at Gu Qingchen from head to toe. “Miss Gu, my Empress Dowager says that an outspoken person who only thinks of her own opinions is considered to be a blind fool.”

“You…”

Chu Ningyi stroked his chin as he stared at the two. Indeed, he feels that he was overthinking things sometimes. This girl was so strong that she simply does not need him.

“What sharp teeth on such a little girl. No wonder Qianchen says that kids these days shouldn’t be provoked.” Gu Qingchen had an ugly look on her face as she scoffed coldly.

At that moment, Shui Anluo had heard Lin Qianchen’s name mentioned twice by now. She pretty much knows why she was being attacked.

“So, Miss Gu, do you think that I should just stand here and be humiliated by you and wait for Chu Ningyi to stand up for me?” Shui Anluo’s tone has also become even icier. “That’s unfortunate, I’ll have to disappoint you.”

Gu Qingchen took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. “You’re really something, Shui Anluo.”

“I know I’m great. You don’t have to remind me, Miss Gu.” Shui Anluo continued to stand upright as she spoke and did not show any hint of fear.

Gu Qingchen was so annoyed by Shui Anluo that she left. Only then did Shui Anluo loosen the grip on her clenched fist.

“You’re just like a hedgehog, anyone who touches you will be p.r.i.c.ked. Are you that scared, Shui Anluo?”

She had behaved like a hedgehog because she was afraid.

Shui Anluo trembled as if he had hit the target.

Her hands were clutching tightly to the corners of her dress. Finally, she faked a casual air and turned around. “Yes, I’m a hedgehog. Anyone who touches me will get stabbed so don’t provoke me, Director Chu. It’ll be bad if I p.r.i.c.k you too.”
