Rong Yu pushed the wheelchair to Gu Qingchen’s side and sized her up from top to bottom. When he saw that the tip of her shoes had been stepped into, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly, “I should have warned you earlier. This brother of mine has always been physically uncoordinated since he was young. He only become a little bit better at dancing after many years of practicing. I should have warned you to pay attention to your feet. It’s such a pity that this pair of shoes was personally designed by Master Tyler.”
Eh?
What was going on?
Weren’t they talking about the black card? Why was Rong Cheng’s poor body coordination was mentioned again.
Wait a minute, the shoes under Gu Qingchen’s feet were actually the work of the most famous designer in the world, Master Tyler?
Oh my god!
Master Tyler’s skills were superb, but he had a really weird personality. Not just anyone could buy his shoes. Even the heads of state would have to wait patiently for Master Tyler to agree to their requests. Master Tyler always worked according to his own mood and did not care who was asking him to design shoes. Hence, no one expected that they would actually see Master Tyler’s work here!
Gu Qingchen’s eyes flickered, as if she understood Rong Yu’s meaning instantly. “If that’s the case… then what should we do? I can’t afford to pay for such an expensive thing.”
Rong Yu turned to look at Rong Cheng and said slowly, “Everyone knows that Master Tyler has a strange temper. If his work is damaged, the person who damaged the work must personally repair it. Otherwise, he can forget about getting his work in the future. Since this pair of shoes was damaged by Rong Cheng, Rong Cheng still has to solve it personally.”
Gu Qingchen knew that Rong Yu wanted to humiliate Rong Cheng, but she thought that it was just to make Rong Cheng suffer a little. She did not expect that Rong Yu would have such a wicked taste and ask Rong Cheng to repair her shoes personally!
As the third young master of the Rong family, he actually had to lower himself to repair someone’s shoes. It was definitely a disgrace.
Rong Cheng naturally could not agree. “Dream on!”
Rong Yu seemed to have expected Rong Cheng to be like this. He just smiled faintly and said, “I heard that the Third Madam of the Rong family likes Master Tyler’s works the most. It seems that she could not buy Master Tyler’s shoes anymore.”
This…
Rong Cheng suddenly remembered that his mother really liked Master Tyler’s works the most. She had always been a loyal fan of Master Tyler. It was all thanks to Master Tyler’s works that she able to outshine other upper-class ladies. Master Tyler’s shoes were her favorite show-off pieces. If she couldn’t buy anything from Master Tyler in the future, she would definitely be furious!
“You! Humph, you guys are ruthless!”
Rong Sheng thought about it and finally could only accept his fate. If his mother couldn’t buy Master Tyler’s works because of him, how could he beg his mother to go to his father and plead for him to enter the Rong Group as soon as possible.
Rong Qingtian was left standing by the side, feeling a little awkward. Rong Yu actually thought that the pair of shoes that Gu Qingchen was wearing was more important than the Rong Group’s black card!
“We’ll talk about this later. The black card is too important to make a decision so casually.”
Rong Qingtian just happened to interrupt. He did not want to see his son repairing a woman’s shoes. Even if the shoes were Master Tyler’s work, it was still beneath his dignity.
Rong Yu did not care about the so-called black card at all. His tone was calm, but there was no room for doubt. “Since I’ve given it away, it’s a foregone conclusion.”
Looking into Rong Yu’s eyes, Rong Qingtian opened his mouth, but he could not say anything to refute. Facing his son, he always felt powerless, which made him a little frustrated.
“Forget it. We’ll talk about this later. Butler Mo, prepare a pair of shoes for Doctor Gu.”
Butler Mo quickly went to prepare the shoes. Then, Rong Qingtian looked at everyone and smiled. “The misunderstanding has been resolved. Everyone, please continue. Music!”
Everyone was a sensible person. After hearing what Rong Qingtian said, they knew that there was no more good show to watch. They all gave Rong Qingtian respect and continued to dance.
Seeing that the banquet was continuing, Rong Qingtian retracted his gaze and looked at Rong Cheng with a cold face. “Hurry up and toast to Doctor Gu for apology!”
Although he was defending his son, he still had to put on an act on the surface. Rong Cheng had indeed kept making mistakes today, and he was a little disappointed in his son.
He had thought that if Rong Yu could not be counted on, he might be able to count on Rong Cheng. But now, it seemed that Rong Cheng was too young and needed more experience.
No matter how unwilling Rong Cheng was, he had to follow his father’s orders.
And Fang Yi seemed to have been paying attention to this side. When she heard Rong Qingtian’s words, her eyes immediately lit up. When Rong Cheng came over to fetch the wine, she took the initiative to pass the wine that she had just prepared to Rong Cheng.
She whispered into Rong Cheng’s ear, “The glass in your left hand has added something else.”
Rong Cheng ran over to get the wine. He was already angry, but when he heard Fang Yi say this, he was startled. His eyes lit up and looked at Fang Yi with a hint of admiration. He smiled wickedly and said, “I’ll give you a gold card when it’s done.”
Fang Yi immediately smiled and nodded. She had always hoped to get a gold card from the Rong Group, but she did not expect to get what she wanted today.
“Third Young Master Rong, don’t worry. There’s ‘Elysium’ in it.”
‘Elysium’ was a kind of high-level medicine. This kind of medicine could only make people feel happy. It was not a strong medicine, but it could make Gu Qingchen lose his composure during the banquet.
When Rong Cheng heard these four words, a smile appeared on his face. He glanced at Fang Yi and said, “What a sensible and beautiful little girl.”
Fang Yi was a little shy when she was praised by Rong Cheng. She looked shy and gave Rong Cheng a look.
They did not notice that from afar, when Gu Qingchen glanced over, her eyes darkened.
Rong Cheng held the wine glass and walked in front of Gu Qingchen. At this moment, he was no longer as anxious and embarrassed as before. He even smiled and said to Gu Qingchen, “Doctor Gu, it was all a misunderstanding just now. I hope you don’t mind. Let me toast to you.”
Rong Qingtian nodded to himself. Fortunately, Rong Cheng still knew what was important and what was not.
Gu Qingchen looked at the glass that Rong Cheng handed over with his left hand and smiled. Her smile was meaningful, and her eyes were bright.
Rong Cheng just raised the glass, but Gu Qingchen did not take it.
“Doctor Gu, you can’t be so petty and hold a grudge, right? I came here personally to toast to you. It’s fine if you don’t want to give face to me, but my father…”
Rong Cheng did not believe that Gu Qingchen would not drink after he had said so much!
Gu Qingchen said directly, “Third Young Master Rong, you must be joking. It’s just that I couldn’t drink too much wine. Your glass has less wine, I’ll take it.”
Rong Cheng was initially ecstatic, but he heard Gu Qingchen asking for his glass of wine.
“No! This glass is mine.”
Subconsciously, Rong Cheng blurted out.
Gu Qingchen raised her brows slightly. Rong Qingtian felt that it did not matter if Gu Qingchen wanted a glass with lesser wine since she had already said that she was not a strong drinker. He wanted everyone to see their harmonious side, so he said, “Cheng’er, Ms. Gu can’t drink too much. As a man, you should remember to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor at all times.”
Rong Cheng had difficulty speaking. His hand that was holding the glass was shaking a little. However, under his father’s urging gaze, he had no choice but to exchange the wine glass. Holding the wine glass with added “ingredients,” Rong Cheng felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. He had really dug a hole for himself to jump into!
