Chapter 550: Stunning Everyone (1)
Feeling like a puppet, she couldn’t help but think back to when Gu Shaoting hadn’t invited her initially. She had harbored some resentment at the time, but now, attending the banquet didn’t seem like such a good idea after all. It was quite a hassle though.
After two hours, it was finally done. Shu Pan looked at herself in the mirror and almost didn’t recognize the person staring back at her. Was this really her? The reflection looked stunning.
Her makeup was subtle, suitable for the light blue dress she was wearing. Her features were delicately enhanced, with rosy cheeks, luscious lips, and her hair elegantly styled. Shu Pan had always thought she wasn’t suited for updos, but today she witnessed the master’s skill firsthand.
Around five o’clock, Gu Shaoting called to say he was on his way to pick her up, as he had sent the driver ahead.
Thinking about seeing Gu Shaoting later, and in such a grand attire, Shu Pan felt a mix of excitement and nerves. She wondered what his reaction would be.
Who in Bin City didn’t know about the Gu Group? With such a prestigious celebration, the invitees were all VIPs. Aside from the corporation’s employees, the attendees were social elites and business partners.
Each guest present had been carefully selected to attend, making it a great honor and a validation of their status.
Around five in the evening, at the hotel’s entrance, a black luxury car pulled up. Security approached, opening the rear door with deference, only to be taken aback as a young woman emerged from the backseat.
She was clad in a striking cobalt blue off-the-shoulder mermaid gown, accentuating her well-proportioned figure.
The security guard dared not glance at her for too long, instead bending down to greet her as she emerged. The girl flashed a smile, casting a glance towards her father who walked out from the other side. She reached out and looped her arm through his, a dainty hand clutching a chic diamond clutch. With each graceful step, her gown swayed like waves, leaving everyone’s imagination running wild.
She was Charlene. This time, she attended with her father. Adorned in her regal attire, she exuded an air of superiority, her beauty mingling with sophistication in a way many couldn’t match.
Of course, as an important partner of the Gu Group, Mr. John would definitely attend such a celebration. He also wanted to see how his darling daughter was doing.
As they approached the entrance, John glanced at his daughter, nodding in approval. “Shaoting really knows what he’s doing. You look much more composed now, not as restless as before. Your attire is impeccable for an occasion like this, well done.”
“Daddy, I’ve grown up. You have to trust me. I won’t let you down.” Charlene displayed full confidence in front of her father. Tonight, she would surely captivate everyone and show Gu Shaoting who the real gem was. Comparison is necessary to know what’s good.
Deep down, Charlene couldn’t fully accept the news of Gu Shaoting having a fiancée. With his excellence, how many could truly match him? Tonight, she would change his perception. Having her father by her side gave her an edge over others. She believed it would be twice as effective with his support.
The golden gates swung open, and the guests inside turned to look. As they laid eyes on the girl in cobalt blue, they couldn’t help but be dazzled. What a beautiful young lady, her attire revealing her exceptional status.
