The socialites and ladies in the upper class were all very familiar to her, but Su Lingzhi only showed up at the homecoming banquet, so many people felt that she was unfamiliar. Moreover, her temperament was too bright and she lacked the restraint of a socialite. She looked more like a stunning superstar.

Su Wan was so angry that she grabbed Gu Jialiang's arm tightly, her face was extremely gloomy. Why did Gu Zhen bring Su Lingzhi here? Why! Gu Zhen obviously liked her.

A hint of surprise also flashed across Gu Jialiang's eyes. He remembered that when he first met Su Lingzhi, she was selling wine in the dance hall. Her peerless beauty attracted countless men.

She was poor but beautiful, destined to be a tragedy. With a little trickery, he could make her surrender to him and make her live a life worse than death. She was nothing more than a toy to be trampled on by anyone.

In the world of fame and fortune, beauty alone is a dead end.

He played with Su Lingzhi like a piece of trash. Who could have thought that Su Lingzhi could turn a bad hand into a winning one?

First she was recognized by the Su family, and then she hooked up with Gu Zhen!

She was clearly devoted to him, but she seduced Gu Zhen. It had to be Gu Zhen. Damn it!

Su Lingzhi took Gu Zhen's arm and came to Gu Xinze and Chen Man and presented them with a gift. Chen Man suppressed her displeasure and accepted Gu Zhen's gift.

"Happy birthday, ma'am." Gu Zhen was gentle and polite.

What Gu Zhen gave was a white jade Buddha statue, which was of glass type and pure and flawless. Chen Man took it with a smile. He gave her a glass Buddha statue every birthday. She even suspected that Gu Zhen bought a whole piece of jade and carved dozens of Buddha statues and gave them away as gifts in bulk.

She took it with a smile, "Azhen is thoughtful."

Gu Xinze said calmly, "It's your mother's birthday, why are you so late?"

Gu Zhen was indifferent and did not respond. Chen Man said, "Ah Zhen is busy with work, so it's okay if it's later. Why are you so angry? By the way, Ah Zhen, who is this?"

Su Lingzhi and Gu Zhen are both gentle and polite. "Hello, auntie. My name is Su Lingzhi."

Chen Man felt vaguely that the name was familiar, but she didn't know where she had heard it. Gu Jialiang and Su Wan had already walked over. Gu Jialiang said loudly, "Mom, this is the daughter of the Su family who was raised by a dancer since childhood. When she returned to her ancestral home, she failed to confess her love to me, and turned around and got together with Gu Zhen. It's really... casual."

The guests were in an uproar. They were gossiping and watching the show. Who wouldn't like to watch the gossip of wealthy families and the drama of brothers fighting against each other? Gu Jialiang humiliated both Su Lingzhi and Gu Zhen with just one sentence.

Being humiliated by Gu Jialiang and secretly scolded for being fickle, others thought Su Lingzhi should be ashamed and angry, but Su Lingzhi smiled and said, "Su Wan and I were switched when we were young. She lived a pampered life, loved and cared for by her family, but I was abused and wandered the streets. I finally found my roots, but the person who took over my place kept provoking me. I felt unfair and took advantage of my beauty to commit a crime. I confessed to you on purpose to piss her off. Why did you take it seriously? Do you feel so upset just because I don't like you?"

Everyone, "..."

Su Wan didn't expect that Su Lingzhi would expose her background in public and accuse her of usurping the throne. The Su family wanted to cover up this scandal, but she spread it everywhere, making Su Wan so angry that her heart ached.

Su Lingzhi smiled generously, "If I didn't know, I would think you were in love with your elder sister, and wanted to flirt with your younger sister to enjoy the best of both worlds."

Gu Jialiang was exposed by Su Lingzhi, and he was furious. However, Su Wan protected him, "Sister, you are confusing right and wrong. It's obvious that you failed to express your love to us, so you deliberately took revenge on us, and then you had to seduce Brother Gu Zhen as a second choice!"

Su Lingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile, "They say that family disgrace should not be made public, but you, sister, are so eager to spread the news that I like your fiancé. It's bad enough that you're occupying my place, but you're also ruining my reputation. Your intention to harm me is too straightforward, and it makes you look stupid."

Su Wan’s face turned pale, “I didn’t!”

Su Lingzhi was on fire, looking at Gu Jialiang sarcastically, "You are even more ridiculous. Do you have to prove that I like you to satisfy your vanity? Do I like Gu Zhen, so will it make you so vulnerable?"

Gu Jialiang, "..."

Su Lingzhi looked at Gu Zhen tenderly and said in a delicate voice, "My dear, it's all because you are too outstanding. He is so dazzled by your brilliance that he can't open his eyes. He can only rely on my slightest thought to satisfy his vanity. He really has such an inferiority complex."

Gu Zhen was caught off guard by Su Lingzhi's sudden words "sweetheart", "..."

The whole place was silent, and even a pin drop could be heard.

In banquets attended by celebrities from aristocratic families, everyone would observe the most basic etiquette and value harmony. Even if there was a grudge, they would just exchange a few words in private and no one would tear their faces apart and make things too embarrassing.

No one thought that Su Lingzhi would be so bold as to mock the eldest son of the Gu family at the Gu family's banquet. He was simply... arrogant and unruly.

"puff……"

The sudden laughter broke the silence. Xu Wanqing saw that everyone was looking at her. She coughed twice and said, "Sorry, I couldn't help it. Miss Su, you are so brave. I like you!"

Su Lingzhi recognized Xu Wanqing. If the original owner Su Lingzhi was the second female villain, Xu Wanqing was the third female villain. She was once engaged to Gu Jialiang and was infatuated with him. However, because of jealousy with Su Wan, Gu Jialiang bankrupted the Xu family. Xu Wanqing was angry and wanted to kill Su Wan for revenge, but was sold to northern Myanmar by Gu Jialiang and had a miserable end.

Su Lingzhi smiled at Xu Wanqing. The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Gu Xinze and Chen Man looked so unhappy. Gu Xinze said in a deep voice, "How dare you speak so arrogantly at the Gu family's banquet? You are so uneducated."

Gu Xinze's prestige was so great that others were frightened. However, Su Lingzhi smiled and said, "I was born by a mother but not raised by one. Of course, I have no manners! But Gu Jialiang insisted on forcing me to admit that I like him. Mr. Gu is also a good parent."

Everyone was stunned. Su Lingzhi, are you looking for death?

Gu Xinze was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and lived a life of luxury. After taking over the Gu Group, he was even more ruthless and cruel. No one dared to ridicule him so wantonly. He had lived his whole life and was mocked by a little girl for not being a good parent. You can imagine how angry Gu Xinze was.

Su Lingzhi seemed to have thought of something and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, Director Gu, I was wrong."

Everyone, "..."

If you offend someone, isn't it a bit late to apologize?

Su Lingzhi took Gu Zhen's arm and said sincerely, "My little sweetheart is very well-educated, a modest gentleman, self-disciplined and polite. He doesn't despise my background and knows how to appreciate my inner beauty. Mr. Gu taught him very well."

Gu Zhen looked at her with a half-smile. This girl was more arrogant than he had imagined. She kept playing on the Gu family's sore spots without any fear.

In the eyes of others, this scene seemed like Gu Zhen was indulging Su Lingzhi in doing whatever he wanted.

"Gu Zhen, today is your mother's birthday party. Did you deliberately bring a woman of unknown origin to mess up the party?" Gu Xinze was so angry that he lost his composure. "Kick her out!"

Su Wan sneered and watched the show. Su Lingzhi was really arrogant. She had offended Director Gu, and Gu Zhen couldn't protect her. She was just waiting for Su Lingzhi to be thrown out.

Gu Zhen said calmly, "Dad, it was Gu Jialiang who humiliated Lingzhi first. She has an unruly personality and cannot stand being wronged. Please bear with her."
