Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

The lacquered red arched carved door opened, and Gu Cheng stepped directly into the party venue.

There were men and women present, most of them well-dressed and with extraordinary appearance. They were standing or sitting, gathered in groups of twos and threes.

Just scan and you'll know which pile you should go to.

"Brother Cheng!"

Suddenly, a man with a bright smile and white hair rushed towards him excitedly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Cheng couldn't help but turn around and look at the source of the sound. After looking carefully for a while, he determined that the person coming was Eugene.

"Eugene, what are you..."

He hesitated to speak, but Eugene turned his head to show Gu Cheng a full circle of his white hair, and said happily: "Handsome, I made the hairstyle specially, Brother Feng almost didn't recognize me."

Gu Cheng also nodded in agreement. Indeed, Eugene had changed so much.

For example, he was still a baby-faced boy in high school, but less than half a year after graduation, his contours gradually became clearer and more obvious.

Coupled with this white hair, she looks fashionable and cool, and finally looks a bit like an adult.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Brother Feng. He was still talking about you just now and was afraid you wouldn't come."

Gu Cheng did not resist, and was pulled through the crowd by him to the seat at the front where only a few people were seated.

"Brother Feng, I brought him here for you."

Hearing this, Feng Chiyu raised his eyes slightly, with a smile as warm as the spring breeze on his handsome face. He stood up with a smile, pulled Gu Cheng to the side and sat down in an empty seat.

"You are finally willing to come and meet my old friend."

Gu Cheng smiled apologetically, and then remained silent, completely cutting off any further questions.

Feng Chiyu sighed and said seriously: "Go and meet them, it will be good for you."

"We are all classmates after all."

After the conversation ended, Gu Cheng walked to other directions.

Eugene wanted to follow, but was stopped by Feng Chiyu, who shook his head seriously at him.

"Don't interfere too deeply." He whispered again: "At least not on the surface."

Eugene understood immediately, but still couldn't help but look in Gu Cheng's direction.

After he broke up with His Highness, as long as he wanted to rely on His Majesty's future power, he would unconsciously leave behind this person who had problems with His Highness.

Gu Cheng also knew this very well, so he simply ignored any of the two groups of people below. Under their indifferent gaze, he walked straight to the beautiful woman who was tasting wine alone in the distance.

That person only wore a simple dark red dress with bright red roses hanging from the skirt. Her skin was extremely white, but her expression was cold and distant, like a red plum blooming alone on a moonlit night.

Sensing someone approaching, she raised her eyes slightly, but did not take the initiative to speak.

Gu Cheng sat opposite her and quietly sipped the wine in his glass.

After a long time, she suddenly let out a laugh, and said with a slight smile on her lips: "Are you coming to my place to hide yourself? You're smart."

Gu Cheng smiled slightly, raised his glass and toasted: "Yes, only Miss Bruce is pure enough."

"Humph." Meryl did not drive him away, but fell silent again, waiting for him to speak first.

Gu Cheng slowly drank the wine in the glass. Under Meryl's glare, he put down the glass, sat upright and took the initiative to say: "Miss, my little brother is in trouble, can you help me?"

"You are so flexible now, why didn't you give in back then?" Meryl mocked.

Gu Cheng still smiled good-naturedly: "I was young and ignorant at the time, so now I have no choice but to ask the eldest lady to lend a helping hand."

"...How much do you want? More than 100 million. I need to hear your specific plan." Meryl said solemnly.

Gu Cheng was stunned for a few seconds. He really didn't expect that the eldest lady, who always had a high opinion of herself, would be so generous and... trust him.

Gu Cheng asked curiously: "Miss, you believe in me so much, what if I lose everything?"

"You won't." She said decisively, then shook the wine glass nonchalantly and said, "And this is just a month's pocket money."

Gu Cheng shrugged helplessly: "...Okay, just 100 million. Your funds are enough for me to carry out the first step of the plan. I will give it to you in a few days after the share ratio is calculated."

Meryl hummed and didn't pay much attention.

After leaving Meryl, Gu Cheng ordered a batch of health testing systems from Feng Chiyu, which can detect health status in real time. Feng Chiyu readily agreed.

No one came to Tara's house, but thinking about it, that little madman should be experimenting with his secret weapon on the battlefield.

There was also Shangguan Qianqian, and Gu Cheng couldn't help but look at Meryl.

The two people who used to be as good as one person are now no longer in contact, which is extremely sad.

Today's useful socializing was almost done, so Gu Cheng found a seat and ate a small cake while drinking.

Just when his time was quiet, a teasing voice came from the side.

When he looked up, he saw a man wearing brand names and jewels. He said with a false smile: "Isn't this Brother Gu? He didn't hook up with Miss Bruce and is hiding here to drink."

Gu Cheng glanced coldly at him and the group of spectators following him, and then ignored them.

Perhaps because his attitude was too indifferent, the man's face turned a little ugly. After a while, he returned to his fake smile, turned around and sang a double act with the group of people behind him.

"I heard that he was transferred to the Cultural Affairs Bureau and became the director as soon as he took office. It's really enviable."

At this time, a man from the Ministry of Justice behind him answered: "Well, unlike us, we can only work as a small clerk under the Ministry of Justice."

"How can it be possible? One is obvious at a glance, but the other has huge room for improvement. So what if the initial position is high..."

This sentence was drowned in the crowd. I don't know who said it, but everyone nodded in agreement.

Gu Cheng still ignored them, they were just a bunch of cannon fodder being pushed up.

His attitude did not dissuade them, but they gathered in a group and talked in a voice loud enough for him to hear clearly.

"Brother Xu, now that you have inherited your family's new energy port business, don't forget to take care of our friends. Spaceship energy is becoming more expensive year by year."

Xu Qianhua's face was filled with a proud smile and he said loudly: "That's natural."

He lowered his head and lamented: "Although I am only a small webmaster, at least I earn more than the director of a certain unit. I wonder if that woman will regret it."

When everyone heard him mention it, some people suddenly thought of the goddess from the outer courtyard who rejected Xu Qianhua in the past.

That girl is pretty and lovely, and her grades are always ranked in the top twenty in the school. She is the goddess in the hearts of countless people in the outer courtyard.

He is also the person Xu Qianhua looks up to and admires.

But when faced with his confession, the girl clearly rejected him and said that her heart belonged to someone else.

Xu Qianhua was unwilling to give up, and after several searches, he found out who she belonged to - Gu Cheng.

At that time, he knew that he could not compare with Gu Cheng in terms of power or talent, so he could only give up cruelly.

But now it seems that Gu Cheng and the girl who rejected him have become a hurdle in his heart.

And what he did today was to regain face.

But before he could say anything in agreement, Gu Cheng stood up, threw the cake paper into the trash can, and left the private room through the side door.

Xu Qianhua was a little dumbfounded, staring at Gu Cheng's back as if he was staring into a hole in him.

But they didn't want to really break up with Gu Cheng, so they had to swallow their anger and leave again.

After coming out of the bathroom, most of the alcohol smell on Gu Cheng's body had dissipated, but he did not leave immediately. Instead, he found a deserted corner, held his head with one hand, and blew in the wind by the window with his eyes closed.

The strong wind ruffled his forehead hair, and his long and curly eyelashes swayed in the wind. The moonlight shone on his face, making his skin as delicate and moist as jade.

"Ruth, you..."

Pei Mingxu's voice stopped suddenly when he saw the lonely shadow by the window.

"Let's take a detour." Pei Mingxu said decisively.

Ruth also recognized Gu Cheng and followed His Highness consciously, preparing to leave.

However, His Highness, who had looked indifferent just now, suddenly stopped turning around and stared straight at a drunk man not far away in the corridor.

"Your Highness..., are we still going to take a detour?"

As the man staggered closer, and Gu Cheng remained unaware, Pei Mingxu did not answer, but turned around and walked in the direction of Gu Cheng.
