Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 657 - 657 She Doesn’t Like Roses

Aware of Fu Mingxiu’s feelings for her, Gu Yang didn’t want to engage in any actions that could be misconstrued. Besides, her loyal boyfriend was right beside her, his lips pursed so tightly they were almost pouting.

Lu Mao and the others were surprised by the size of the bouquet Fu Mingxiu presented. Seeing Gu Yang decline to accept it, they felt a twinge of embarrassment.

Fu Mingxiu, too, was taken aback, but he recovered quickly and offered her the rose with a gentle smile. “Yangyang, I picked this bouquet from a flower shop this morning. It suits you perfectly. Please accept it.”

Feng Jue frowned slightly. Couldn’t Fu Mingxiu see that Gu Yang was rejecting him?

He stepped forward, standing between Gu Yang and Fu Mingxiu. “She doesn’t want the roses you gave her,” he stated plainly.

Fu Mingxiu’s eyes darkened when he saw the fair and handsome Feng Jue standing before him. Quickly, he averted his gaze and focused on Gu Yang. “Yangyang.”

Gu Yang followed her boyfriend’s lead without hesitation. “I truly don’t care for roses, Brother Xiu. You’ve already given me a thoughtful birthday gift, so there’s no need for flowers.”

Sensing the tension, Zhu Di attempted to lighten the mood with a smile. “Brother Xiu, you’re being too harsh. You promised to treat us siblings equally, yet you’ve only gifted Yangyang a car. Why add flowers on top of that?”

“It might be overwhelming for Yangyang to handle such a large bouquet. Perhaps it’s best to use them as decorations,” Mo Mo interjected, shooting Lu Mao a meaningful glance.

“Let me help, Brother Mingxiu. I’ll take care of the flowers,” Lu Mao offered, swiftly taking the bouquet of 99 roses from Fu Mingxiu’s hand. With his lackeys Zhang Shan and Li Shi in tow, he began rearranging the flowers, replacing the table vases with fresh roses.

Lin Ran, too, joined in, but his eyes kept darting between Gu Yang, Feng Jue, and Fu Mingxiu.

Experienced in matters of the heart, he could discern the mutual interest between the siblings and Feng Jue.

Zhu Di and the others breathed a collective sigh of relief as they watched Fu Mingxiu relinquish the rose to Lu Mao.

As the unofficial leader of their No.1 Middle School Group, Fu Mingxiu’s fondness for Gu Yang was well-known among them. However, it became apparent that Gu Yang harbored no reciprocal feelings, having clearly rejected his advances.

Despite this, they valued their friendships and wished to avoid any unnecessary drama.

Of course, their loyalty lay with Gu Yang.

Those observing were taken aback when Gu Yang rejected the roses and allowed Lu Mao to dismantle them.

On Tang Shiya’s side, the socialites who had been quick to criticize Gu Yang fell silent.

Ruan Chu approached, plucking a rose from Lu Mao’s hands and placing it in a vase on Tang Shiya’s table. Taking a seat nearby, she addressed them with a gentle smile. “Today is my cousin’s birthday celebration, and you are all guests here. Criticizing the guest of honor behind her back seems rather inappropriate, doesn’t it?”

Tang Shiya and the others blushed, feeling embarrassed that Ruan Chu had overheard their conversation.

They had all attended the same high school with Ruan Chu and had once shared a good relationship. However, after Ruan Chu entered the entertainment industry, they gradually drifted apart and eventually became strangers.

To their surprise, not only had Ruan Chu achieved fame, but she had also become the heir to the Ruan Corporation.

Meanwhile, they remained preoccupied with their family’s marriage arrangements. Unwittingly, the gap between them had grown significantly.
