Sensational! Fake Noble VS Real Genius-Chapter 1539: Delivering the Birthday Gift

Before Gu Xiyue could speak, Gu Zhiqi threw in a sentence, "Thank you, Fifth Sister."

Then she got up and left in a hurry.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyue moved her lips but in the end said nothing.

She just took out her phone and sent her a message.

Looking down at the gift box Gu Zhiqi gave her, a hint of curiosity flashed in Gu Xiyue’s eyes.

Gu Zhiqi, Gu Xiyue, and Gu Xingruo were all arranged at the children’s table.

When Gu Zhiqi left, Gu Xingruo was in the restroom.

When he returned to his seat and found Gu Zhiqi gone, Gu Xingruo leaned over to Gu Xiyue and asked, "Sister Yue, the girl?"

While speaking, he glanced at where Elder Master Yu was sitting but didn’t see Gu Zhiqi.

She didn’t go to present a gift, so where did she go?

Gu Xiyue was used to Gu Xingruo calling her Fifth Sister, so she just replied, "She said something came up and rushed out in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Gu Xingruo’s eyes, and he mumbled softly, "What matters could be so urgent now?"

As he spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket and sent Gu Zhiqi a message.

As usual, after sending the message, it was like a stone thrown into the sea with no ripples.

Gu Xingruo didn’t pay much attention to it.

He just sat there with his chin in his hand, feeling a bit frustrated for a while.

After a while, he took out his phone and sent another message to Gu Zhiqi.

After sending the message, he still didn’t receive any reply.

His expression grew increasingly troubled, and he inadvertently glanced at the gift box in front of Gu Xiyue and asked, "Sister Yue, what’s this?"

Gu Xiyue: "Qiqi asked me to deliver it as a birthday gift to Grandpa."

Gu Xingruo: ?

"Huh? Why ask you to help... No, she can’t really not be coming back, right?" Gu Xingruo said, lightly furrowing his handsome brows.

Hearing this, Gu Xiyue did not deny it.

Judging by the situation, she probably wasn’t coming back.

"That’s odd, the banquet hasn’t even started, and the cake hasn’t been cut. Why did she leave?"

Too unusual.

In the past, when attending banquets, even if she had to leave, she would only leave after the meal.

Unusual, really unusual.

Thinking this, Gu Xingruo took out his phone and sent another message to Gu Zhiqi.

However, there was still no reply from Gu Zhiqi’s side.

**

It was time for the gift-giving.

After almost everyone else had presented their gifts, Gu Xiyue went to Elder Master Yu with both her gift and Gu Zhiqi’s.

Elder Master Yu and his four friends were seated at one table, along with Yu Yuanshan, Yu Shuling, and Yu Luoqian. Together, the eight of them made up a full table.

Before Gu Xiyue approached Elder Master Yu’s table, someone suddenly emerged beside her, "Miss Gu, are you presenting a gift too?"

Hearing this, Gu Xiyue glanced sideways and saw two girls around eighteen or nineteen.

However, she didn’t recognize either of them.

"We met before, in early September, at the Luo Family." The girl who spoke earlier spoke again, introducing herself to Gu Xiyue, "Hello, my name is Luo Shuangshuang."

After hearing her name, Gu Xiyue still couldn’t recall who she was, but knowing she was from the Luo Family, she nodded to her.

She remembered that both her aunt-in-law and elder sister-in-law were from the Luo Family.

So, although her attitude towards Luo Shuangshuang was distant, it was still polite.

Luo Shuangshuang glanced at the two gift boxes in Gu Xiyue’s arms, "Did you prepare two gifts for Grandpa Yu?"

Listening to her question, Gu Xiyue couldn’t help but feel she had ulterior motives but still replied, "One is on behalf of someone else."
