Chapter 357 Gu Shuili’s Dilemma
As Meng Ke followed Yan Wei into the room, she saw a huge banquet hall filled with handsome men. As soon as she entered, she became the only female there and attracted everyone's attention.
Gu Xin and Yan Wei took Meng Ke to the stage, one on each side. Yan Wei, the host of the banquet, announced generously, "This is my close friend Meng Ke. Please take good care of her in the future."
Gu Xin snapped his fingers, drawing the attention of the leaders: "If anyone dares to offend her, don't blame me for being rude."
Meng Ke also introduced herself politely: "Hello everyone! I am Meng Ke, a good friend of Xiao Jinzi and Xiao Weiwei. Thank you for your guidance."
There was applause from the audience and the atmosphere was very good.
Meng Ke always felt that something was wrong. After being pulled by the two to sit in the main seat, she couldn't help but sigh: "You two have quite a lot of friends!"
For example, when the Ouyang family held a full moon party for Xiaoyu, they chose to hold it on the East Star because some relatives and friends found it difficult to apply to enter the main star.
Yan Wei is so great. So many friends can actually come to the main star to participate. This is so thoughtful.
Yan Wei saw through Meng Ke's thoughts immediately and explained with a smile, "Only the first three rows of tables are occupied by my friends, the rest are people from the club."
Oh! I understand the dream now. It's the atmosphere group. Needless to say, it's quite practical.
"There will be a performance later. Here is the program, take a look."
Gu Xin sent a file to Meng Ke and asked her to take a look.
The lobby manager had been following Meng Ke since he followed the three people into the venue. Now he finally found an opportunity to show his presence and hurried forward:
"Which one do you like? I'll have someone adjust the order of appearance."
Meng Ke turned to look at the lobby manager, then looked at the handsome men in the venue, and suddenly realized that this manager was worthy of being a manager. His face alone was enough to outshine all the other beauties.
So I asked directly: "Do you have any performances?"
"You may have!"
Meng Ke pondered the meaning of this sentence and quickly understood: "It's not in the program, but if the guest specifies, you can also perform on stage?"
"Yes!"
"Is it expensive?"
The lobby manager was a little surprised. He didn't expect that someone of Meng Ke's status would care about the price.
He said uncertainly, "It can be free."
Before Meng Ke could say anything, Gu Xin sneered, "Cheap goods are not good."
The lobby manager immediately changed his tone: "A million programs."
This is the highest price offered by the club, and his show is totally worth it.
Meng Ke didn't respond, but looked at Yan Wei: "How about I give you this performance?"
Yan Wei was amused: "Shouldn't you be the one to perform in the performance you gave me?"
"That's right!"
Meng Ke turned around and asked the lobby manager: "What programs do you know?"
"I know a thing or two about ancient Blue Star's music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."
Meng Ke gave a thumbs-up in surprise: "Great!"
"Excellent!"
The lobby manager's ears turned red.
Gu Xin couldn't bear to watch it any longer and spoke out to stop them: "Are you two jealous? Meng Xiaoke, are you planning to cheat on me in front of us?"
Meng Ke's heart skipped a beat: "I just want to see if I can find a partner to perform a show for you guys?"
Gu Xin's eyes lit up: "This is possible."
Yan Wei also felt anticipation. He asked the obviously excited lobby manager, "Can we record the performance here?"
If the recording couldn't be done, he would never let Meng Ke go on stage.
The lobby manager understood what Vice President Yan meant and quickly nodded, "Sure! We have a professional videographer. If you need one later, I can send it to you."
Gu Xin glared at him: "Of course you have to send it to me, but you can't keep a copy, understand?"
"I know! I know!"
The lobby manager had to agree, but it was a rare opportunity to perform with the goddess, so how could he not keep it as a souvenir.
Finally, Meng Ke turned her head and discussed quietly with the lobby manager, and quickly decided on a program.
Gu Xin was dissatisfied: "He can't be your old lover, right? You actually discussed it with him behind our backs."
Meng Ke couldn't help but roll her eyes without caring about her image. "I wanted to give you two a surprise, why are you jumping around? As the Young Master of the family, can you be more steady like Xiao Wei?"
Gu Xin glared at her: "Why do you speak like my dad? You sound like my dad."
Meng Ke was about to speak when she paused when she casually opened a message on her laptop.
It was a message from Long Yue, who I hadn’t contacted for a long time: Meng Ke, can I ask you for a favor?
Long Yue is such a proud person, but he actually used the word "beg". It seems that the matter is definitely not trivial.
After a moment of hesitation, Meng Ke replied with a question mark.
A message quickly arrived: "Shui Li lost to Young Master Gu Xin and missed the position of Young Master of the Family. He is now imprisoned in the family manor. Can you please ask Young Master Gu Xin to help Shui Li and let him go? Shui Li's mental and physical strength have dropped to F, and he won't live more than a hundred years. If they let Shui Li go, I will immediately take him away from the central area and never return."
As the only woman in the room, Meng Ke was served food and drinks by Gu Xin and Yan Wei, and the lobby manager was also waiting by her side. She felt as comfortable as she could be.
But she was in no mood to enjoy this. She pushed away the fruit piece that the lobby manager was feeding to her mouth and said, "Eat it yourself!"
The lobby manager was flattered and actually put it in his mouth and started eating it.
It’s a pity that the goddess seems to be a little busy, otherwise he would definitely find a chance to sit down and have dinner together.
"Is Coco busy?"
Yan Wei was about to say that if he was busy, he could go ahead and get together next time, but then he heard Meng Ke wave her hand: "I'm not busy! Something came up suddenly, I'll take care of it."
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Xin, who was puzzled. He felt that what Meng Ke was busy with was related to him, so he made a guess: "Grandpa is staying with you for retirement. Are you going to tell on me?"
Meng Ke sent a message before glaring at him: "If you say that again, I'll really complain!"
"Don't! Just ignore me!"
Every time his grandfather glared at him, he felt extremely guilty. Everyone knew that Marshal Gu would scold people for three days and two nights without repeating himself. The soldiers under him were most afraid of him doing ideological education work.
Gu Xin was also afraid and kept his mouth shut obediently.
Long Yue looked at the message sent by Meng Ke with serious eyes: Are you sure that given Gu Shuili's current condition, if he leaves the protection of the Gu family, he can live a better life with you?
He sneered, his eyes cold to the bone.
The Gu family's protection?! What a joke! That's a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones. Shui Li lost because he wasn't ruthless enough.
He was not cruel enough, which is why he fell into the trap of Gu Yin and the others and ended up with such a miserable end.
Long Yue almost grasped the last ray of light and sent a message to Meng Ke: Can you help?
Meng Ke took the juice handed to her by Gu Xin, took a sip, and then replied with one word in a firm tone: Help!
For some reason, seeing this reply, even if it was only one word, Long Yue still wanted to cry. He thought his tears had dried up on the day he failed in the competition, but he didn't expect that seeing these words with such warmth, he still couldn't help but burst into tears.
Meng Ke’s next message followed immediately: You are looking for help, I will help you, but Gu Shuili, I want to ask him what he thinks before making a decision.
Long Yue bit his lower lip tightly and told Meng Ke about Gu Shuili's current situation: he was locked up in the basement of the manor by his family and could not communicate with the outside world. I was also expelled from the family and had no one to use, so I could not contact him.
Meng Ke could tell how miserable these two people were just from Long Yue's few words.
So she directly asked Gu Xin through a message on her brain: Can I see Gu Shuili?
Gu Xin, who was making tea for Meng Ke, stopped what he was doing and did not reply on the computer. Instead, he asked directly: "Do you want to say something good for Gu Shuili?"
He has always known that Meng Ke and Gu Shuili are not only classmates, but also teammates. He is not surprised at all that Meng Ke would help Gu Shuili.
Even when he was competing with Gu Shuili for the right of inheritance, he was afraid that Meng Ke would stand against him.
Fortunately, Meng Ke said the same thing as Gu Yin, which was not to help anyone and to remain neutral. This was good, and he felt relieved at the time.
