Chapter 401: Chapter 401: Mr. Bo: Choose Whatever You Like!
What? Ugly?
This comment infuriated Gu Pinting, her beautifully shaped eyebrows and red lips skewing a bit as she angrily glared toward the door.
A woman in a plain white robe stood there lazily playing with a bolt of brocade on display by the door.
It seemed her comment was a casual toss-off; she found the red dress Gu Pinting had chosen less interesting than the brocade by the entrance.
Even more infuriating was that the charm exuded from the woman’s brows and eyes was so striking that Gu Pinting herself had to admit: beautiful, truly beautiful.
It was a shame that the tattered robe she wore looked like it was made from beggar’s cloth!
Gu Pinting, talented and beautiful, was a mini version of Gu Shiyin, a veritable school goddess who reigned supreme in the Gu Family and at school. How could she endure such an insult?
Storming over in her high heels, she said, "What do you know? Dressed like you’re in mourning, do you even understand the concept of fashion design? Do you know about the history of Nuwa and Fuxi?"
Zuzi replied leisurely, raising an eyebrow with a faint smile, "Fashion? Not much; Nuwa, a little bit. Anyway, you’re nothing like Nuwa, so stop dreaming."
Gu Pinting: "...!"
She was determined to get this role in the audition. Her family had already spoken with Director Ma Xiaogang, and if necessary, she would bring her own funding into the group; the audition was just a formality for her.
Where did this mourning-clothed woman come from, daring to flatly claim she was dreaming of playing Nuwa?
The argument at the entrance made Gu Shiyin, who was negotiating with a store clerk, turn her head.
Seeing Zuzi also shopping, she was slightly surprised.
That girl from the county had made money at the auction last night; was she so eager to spend it today?
Typical... countryside folks.
Gu Shiyin pressed her lips together and walked over: "Miss Xi, you might not know, Pinting is the designated lead actress for the role of Nuwa. You’ve guessed wrongly this time."
Zuzi smiled faintly, giving Gu Shiyin a casual look: "The Ancestor has never been wrong."
Gu Shiyin: "..."
Chu Qiaoen also turned around, and seeing Zuzi, felt even more complex: "Do you think buying a few nice clothes can allow you to seduce both Mr. Bai and Mr. Bo simultaneously? A woman like you, trying to have it both ways, is shameless!"
Gu Pinting was shocked, "You’ve met before?"
Chu Qiaoen said through gritted teeth, "Met before? It’s a mortal feud! A hatred for snatching my man!"
Bai Fei was the man she eyed as her future husband, yet he was bewitched by Zuzi!
Understanding dawned on Gu Pinting, who was ready to join her friend in mocking Zuzi.
But suddenly, a stern male voice rang out from the door!
"You’re mistaken. Miss Zuzi doesn’t need to seduce anyone, nor does she need to have it both ways. If she wants to, she’s welcome on my boat."
Bao Gucheng walked in with firm steps, his face cold and serious!
Chu Qiaoen and Gu Pinting already had some fear of him as an elder, and now that they were caught badmouthing him, they fell silent in fright.
Gu Shiyin looked in amazement at Bao Gucheng, who never went shopping, appearing outside a women’s boutique: "Mr. Bo, why are you here?"
Bao Gucheng didn’t even lift his eyelids, standing by Zuzi’s side: "I was just passing by."
Gu Shiyin: "..."
She had invited him countless times to dinner, to auctions to have fun, and he always said he had no time, but now he had gone all the way to the auction for Zuzi, and was "just passing by" while she shopped?
The heart pierced by a dagger last night received several more cuts at this moment.
Zuzi chuckled softly, "Xiao Cheng seems to have time."
Bao Gucheng glanced around, "Pick any clothes you like here, I’ll have them packed."
