C274 Uninvited Guest

Tao Ning looked around and saw the surprised looks that were thrown at her because of her transformation. She secretly made up her mind.

Actually, when she raised her head, she already had all kinds of surprising discoveries. Not only did the gazes that everyone looked at her change, but she also sighed in admiration at the arrangement of the entire ball. There were all kinds of lights, and in the middle was a huge dance floor. On both sides were the flowing water layout, which was both grand and beautiful.

She had never dreamt that there would be such a dance party for her. However, in order to welcome her back to Wei family, her big brother Wei Tingjun was willing to spend money to create such a dream-like scene for her.

And just now, she had been cowering because of her fear. Her eyes didn't even dare to peek at the ground. It was really a waste of his effort. No wonder he had a look of anger on his face.

In order to make up for her carelessness, Tao Ning followed beside Wei Tingjun from now on. Whether it was the new guests who came to greet or the guests who had already arrived to greet, Tao Ning smiled and nodded until the ball officially began.

Seeing Tao Ning's change in attitude, Wei Tingjun finally let out a sigh of relief in his heart. At least she was sensible and did not let down his efforts.

After the ball officially started, Wei Tingjun stood at the front of the dance floor where the microphone was placed and said to the guests, "Welcome to my sister Jiyue's ball. I am here to express my deep gratitude..."

Wei Tingjun's words were interrupted by a voice that suddenly barged in. "Is she really Wei Jiyue?"

This voice full of doubt came from the direction of the door. When the voice was heard, everyone looked over and saw Gu Zhengchu in a suit with a few bodyguards walking in. It was obvious that he did not come with good intentions.

Through everyone's eyes, Gu Zhengchu's eyes locked onto Tao Ning, who was dressed in a white dress and had the temperament of a Celebrity. Tao Ning also looked over, but when her gaze met his, her expression was extremely indifferent.

He really came!

It was as if she had expected it. It could not arouse any of her unexpected emotions. More than ten meters away, so many people... She could still feel the unfriendly look in his eyes. Since he didn't come with good intentions, then why was she still afraid?

Who should she show it to? Who would pity her? At this moment, she did not want to be a weakling anymore!

Tao Ning slightly opened her red lips and spat out a clear word, "If you are not here to attend the ball, please leave. I do not welcome idlers here."

"Here?" The corner of Gu Zhengchu's mouth curled into a cold smile. Facing Tao Ning who was becoming more and more like Wei Jiyue, he continued to ask the question, "Are you Wei Jiyue or Tao Ning?"

"Gu Zhengchu, did you not hear what Jiyue said? You are not welcome here!" Wei Tingjun lowered his face and stared coldly at Gu Zhengchu.

As soon as he said this, the bodyguards around the ball all stood up and approached Gu Zhengchu.

"Is he going to attack us?" Gu Zhengchu raised his eyebrows and asked. The smile on his face became even more intense. "I didn't think that attending a ball would be so dangerous. People could die at any time!"

When the bodyguards hiding around appeared, there were many sighs in the ball. This was something that was out of everyone's expectations. Wei Tingjun had actually planted so many bodyguards in the ball, and Gu Zhengchu had actually brought people to cause trouble at the beginning of the ball. Was he trying to ruin the scene?

When Gu Zhengchu's words came out, everyone's emotions were stirred up again, and they could no longer remain calm. Seeing the situation, Tao Ning opened her mouth.

"Those who came here, besides you, are all good friends of our Wei family. The bodyguards placed around the ball are responsible for everyone's safety, otherwise, people like you who came uninvited. Doesn't that mean you can be as arrogant as you want?"

Tao Ning had a calm smile on her face the whole time. Her words instantly separated Gu Zhengchu from the guests of the ball. It also made the awkward atmosphere disappear. Tao Ning's actions did not only surprise Gu Zhengchu, even Wei Tingjun, who was standing beside her, also felt that it was unbelievable.

It was so organized and clear, and the words were clear. Was it still the Wei Jiyue who was troubled by this dance previously? He once thought that she was just a little girl who was easy to control, afraid that Gu Zhengchu would have to rely on him. She was already a woman without claws.

However, he never thought that she would be able to show a calm side in the face of Gu Zhengchu's provocation. It seemed that he had underestimated her.

"It seems like this young lady is really dissatisfied with my arrival!" Gu Zhengchu laughed lightly, as if he did not mind the unfriendly tone in Tao Ning's words. He was even very happy. "But I really want to know young lady's name and identity."

To use such an unfamiliar name on her, it seemed that Gu Zhengchu was really prepared to expose her as a stranger. Good! Gu Zhengchu, you can throw away all past friendships in front of everyone. That would be great!

"I have made it very clear just now. This is my sister, Wei Jiyue." Gu Zhengchu's repeated doubts about Tao Ning's identity made Wei Tingjun very annoyed.

Apart from the family and friends of Wei family, who were business partners, everyone else was present. There were also a few directors appointed by Wei Zhen Hua when he was alive. The purpose of this ball was to introduce Wei Jiyue to everyone and let them know that the daughter of the Wei family had returned to her home. She would be able to successfully obtain 20% of the Wei family's shares.

Gu Zhengchu must have seen through his intention, so he wanted to "expose" Tao Ning's identity in front of everyone so that his plan could not proceed smoothly.

"Big brother, it might be that Young Master Gu's brain is not working properly!" Tao Ning took over Wei Tingjun's words and said with a smile, "Wei Jiyue was named by her biological father. As for Tao Ning... It was also my adoptive father, Tao Dayu, who named her. So, Young Master Gu, you don't have to worry about my name anymore. You can call me whatever you want. "

If she was a fake Wei Jiyue, she wouldn't be able to stand him exposing her, but she was the real Wei Jiyue. What was there for her to be afraid of? She had left Wei family for many years and had always been raised by her father, Tao Dayu. Even if she didn't say it, many of the people present knew it.

Since that was the case, what was there for her to hide? If she didn't admit it, Gu Zhengchu could use it as leverage.

As if they did not expect Tao Ning to answer in such a casual manner, everyone present, including Gu Zhengchu, looked at her with different degrees of surprise.

Tao Ning liked to look at him like that, because everyone finally noticed that she was different, especially Gu Zhengchu's.
