Chapter 660 Thank You, Auntie Ye

The majority of the attendees were astute individuals, swiftly grasping the implications behind Ye Qingzi’s words.

While it was ostensibly a joint celebration, Ye Qingzi directed her felicitations solely towards Gu Yang, pointedly disregarding Gu Jin.

Furthermore, her praise for Gu Yang’s upbringing in the Gu family insinuated a stark comparison, implying that Gu Jin’s upbringing lacked refinement and sophistication, perhaps even suggesting a rustic and uncouth background.

Those who harbored envy and resentment towards both the Gu and Ye families couldn’t conceal their smug satisfaction at witnessing potential discord.

It appeared that the genuine daughter of the Gu family had inadvertently offended Ye Qingzi.

Amidst the preparations for the cake, Gu Yang, accompanied by Zhu Di, Mo Mo, and others, halted upon recognizing a familiar voice.

Ye Qingzi bowed her head, retrieving a gift from her bag. With a friendly smile, she addressed Gu Yang, “Miss Gu Yang, here’s a small token of my affection. Wishing you a joyous birthday. Now, since everyone’s gathered, let’s proceed with blowing out the candles… Wait, it’s you!”

Upon meeting Gu Yang’s gaze, Ye Qingzi was taken aback.

Gu Yang, initially perplexed by Ye Qingzi’s sudden praise, now understood the reason behind it. It dawned on her that Ye Qingzi remained unaware of her true identity.

The sudden shock registered on Ye Qingzi’s face left the onlookers equally astonished. Speculation rippled through the crowd.

Gu Zhaoming’s expression darkened as he addressed Ye Qingzi, “Miss Ye, are you acquainted with Yangyang?”

Ye Qingzi’s thoughts were still reeling as she clutched the gift intended for Gu Yang. Trapped in a moment of indecision, she found herself regretting her lack of thorough investigation into the identities of the individuals she had encountered alongside Gu Jin.

It was a missed opportunity she now keenly lamented. Why hadn’t she delved deeper into the background of the pair she had encountered while probing into Gu Jin’s affairs?

Little did Ye Qingzi anticipate that the very girl who had defended Gu Jin and taunted her that fateful day would turn out to be Gu Yang, whom she had always presumed to be at odds with her sister.

Gu Yang observed Ye Qingzi’s array of emotions with intrigue, unperturbed by the current atmosphere, and graciously accepted the gift. “Thank you for your kind words and this lovely gift, Auntie Ye.”

The transparent gift box revealed a luxurious jewelry brooch worth hundreds of thousands, prompting Gu Yang to click her tongue in mild disbelief. It seemed Ye Qingzi spared no expense in her attempts to assert dominance over her sister.

Unbeknownst to the attendees, Gu Yang’s endearing address to Ye Qingzi was slightly off the mark.

However, as soon as Ye Qingzi heard the title, memories of their previous encounter flooded her mind, reigniting both old and newfound animosity. The convergence of past grievances and current tensions ignited within her like a powder keg. “Gu Yang! You’ve crossed a line!”

Gu Yang’s apparent audacity incensed Ye Qingzi even more than Gu Jin’s defiance had.

To top it off, Gu Yang not only accepted the gift but had the audacity to address her as “Auntie”? It was an insult!

Gu Yang’s innocent gaze only fueled Ye Qingzi’s fury. “What’s wrong, Auntie Ye?” she questioned innocently.

Feng Jue’s intervention only added to Ye Qingzi’s exasperation. “Auntie, my sister is simply expressing gratitude. What’s wrong with that?”

As the crowd registered Gu Yang and Feng Jue’s seemingly genuine innocence, doubts crept in. Had they misinterpreted the situation? Was it inappropriate to address Ye Qingzi as “Auntie”?

Most attendees hailed from Jin City’s affluent circles, unaware of the intricacies of the capital’s elite society or the age of the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Consequently, when standing beside Ruan Xueling, it was challenging to discern who was older.

Perhaps Ye Qingzi, akin to Ruan Xueling, possessed timeless beauty and impeccable maintenance?

Xiao Yize suppressed a laugh, coughing lightly to disguise his amusement.

Gu Jin had already walked to Gu Yang’s side and glanced at the brooch in her hand in disdain. Then, she took it away and returned it to Ye Qingzi. “Since you think it means crossing a line, I’ll return it to you.”
