Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 879: Chapter 878: Harboring Ulterior Motives

The next day.

Around three in the afternoon.

Gu Tong had just digested the secret code and sign language provided by Li Yan.

At the door, there was a series of knocks.

Gu Tong slightly frowned and took a few steps to the door.

She opened the door, and the servant stood there respectfully, saying, ”The Zhao Family’s old madam is hosting a banquet tomorrow night and has invited us. The madam considered that the young madam didn’t bring a dress, so she arranged for you to go with Miss Biao to pick one out.”

This statement sounded more like a command, blocking any words of refusal from Gu Tong.

Gu Tong let out a faint smile and said, ”Madam Number Two, just make the decision; aren’t all the dresses the same?”

The situation had developed to this point. If one didn’t realize this was a scheme, Gu Tong would have lived in vain. Choosing a dress was nothing more than an excuse; as for the real purpose, it still needed careful consideration.

”Madam doesn’t know the young madam’s style, so she doesn’t dare to make a decision lightly. The fashion designers are already arranged, and in ten minutes, the young madam can meet Miss Biao downstairs.”

This servant was very clever, knowing the art of speaking indirectly.

She perfectly interpreted Gong Qingwan’s intentions without offending Gu Tong.

No wonder Gong Qingwan chose her to deliver the message.

”Understood!”

Gu Tong had countless words in her heart to send the servant away, but she didn’t utter a single one.

Instead, she responded appropriately and then closed the door.

In fact, before Li Yan left, they had already considered many possibilities, including the possibility of Gong Qingwan luring Gu Tong out.

Fortunately, they had already planned to go with the flow, using strategy to counter strategy, naturally indifferent, so they did not refuse.

Otherwise, Gu Tong would have easily made the servant doubt her life choices.

...

About ten minutes quickly passed.

Gu Tong changed into a light gray dress and pink high heels, leisurely walking down the stairs.

By this time, Chu Xiran had been waiting at the door for a while. When she saw Gu Tong, her face was full of joy, ”Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today~”

She never hesitates to praise people, and never hesitates to harm them either.

Chu Xiran perfectly inherited all of Gong Qingwan’s vicious qualities, and if one spent a long time with her, they would indeed find it somewhat disgusting.

If Gu Tong remembered correctly, the last person to speak so sweetly in front of her was Qiu Xue!

Indeed, annoying people have similar traits.

Chu Xiran did not notice Gu Tong’s aversion and naturally linked arms with her, saying affectionately, ”I have few friends, and sometimes I feel envious seeing girls hang out together. Luckily, now I have my sister-in-law to keep me company, or else I would die of loneliness.”

Her little mouth seemed to be coated with honey. If she encountered a naive girl, she could indeed fool her.

Gu Tong smiled slightly and said, ”Then we are just meant to be companions.”

When it comes to acting, Gu Tong is a master at it and definitely would not lose.

”That’s perfect.” Chu Xiran didn’t notice, pretending to hold Gu Tong’s hand.

Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she urged, ”Sister-in-law, let’s get in the car. The appointment time is almost up.”

Since custom dresses require a dedicated designer and a complete set of coordination, time was naturally arranged in advance.

In this sense, there didn’t seem to be any problem.

But clearly, Gu Tong did not believe her words and cast a glance at Chu Xiran, firmly believing she had ulterior motives.
