Chapter 954: Social Phobic Ning Gui

Editor: Henyee Translations

The wives of the other aristocratic families were all present at today’s banquet.

Tong Wan introduced Gu Yang to each of them one by one.

Among the many wealthy families present, Tong Wan was most comfortable with Mrs. Lin, apart from her good relations with Ruan Xueling. Before the crash, Tong Wan and Mrs. Lin had been good friends, though not as close as Tong Wan was with Qin Shuzhen, whom she had known since childhood.

The Lin family and the Xiao family were family friends, and since Lin Ran and Xiao Yize were like brothers, Mrs. Lin was very friendly toward Gu Yang.

The Eight Great Clans might not have the same power as the four aristocratic families, but the madams of each clan were astute. Even if they didn’t particularly like Gu Yang, they didn’t show it.

Even Tong Rao, who usually did not get along with Tong Wan, did not oppose her at this event. She also prepared a gift for Gu Yang on behalf of the Tong family.

In the past, Tong Rao had given Gu Yang many gifts, but Gu Yang had declined them, preferring to keep her distance from Tong Rao.

However, they were representing their respective families now, so they naturally had to keep their tempers in check.

Although the Xiao family doted on Gu Yang, she was determined not to use the elders’ affection to harm the family’s interests.

The mistresses of the other three aristocratic families were polite but distant.

Gu Yang was surprised to see Ning Gui, who had a reputation for social phobia, in the neighboring area.

“Gu Yang, congratulations on finding your family and acknowledging your ancestors,” Ning Gui said, burying her face in her scarf and revealing only her doe-like eyes.

Gu Yang smiled and thanked her. “Thank you, Ning Gui.”

Ning Gui was known for her social anxiety and rarely attended banquets. This time, she had come to the Xiao family’s event because her brother, Ning Shen, had told her in advance that Gu Yang, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, was her classmate.

Mrs. Ning looked at Ning Gui, who had finally made an effort to socialize, and felt especially gratified.

However, Ning Gui took out her phone and handed it to Gu Yang, asking, “Gu Yang, how do you solve this problem?”

Mrs. Ning was speechless. She had overestimated her daughter.

The final exam results had been out for a while. Gu Yang’s GPA was second in the class, matching Feng Jue’s, with Gu Jin taking first place.

Although Ning Gui struggled with social interactions, she was skilled at analyzing others’ personalities. She knew that Gu Yang was gentle and easy to approach, so she chose her to ask for help.

Moreover, since Gu Jin and Feng Jue doted on Gu Yang, she figured if Gu Yang didn’t know the answer, they would help her.

Gu Yang was taken aback by Ning Gui’s request. However, she quickly assessed the question and thought to herself, “Good lord, this is really easy. It’s basically covered in the third-year specialized class.”

“Do you have a pen and paper?” Gu Yang asked.

Ning Gui blinked and pulled out a pen and paper from her bag, handing them to Gu Yang.

Gu Yang then began explaining the question to Ning Gui, who listened attentively.

The others: “…”

How astonishing!

Gu Shuda passed by and grabbed Gu Shuzhi. “Hey, what are Little Cousin and Miss Ning doing? Why are so many people gathered around them?”

Gu Shuzhi’s expression was complicated. “They’re doing homework.”

Gu Shuda instantly took a step back, his expression showing complete confusion.

Principal Li of Hua University and the dean of the Physics Department walked by and, noticing the scene, came over to see what was happening. They were very pleased.

As expected of a top student from their Physics Department!

However, before the teachers could offer any praise, they heard a distinct clap.

A young man in a dark blue suit approached. He was handsome and had a brooding demeanor. His fox-like eyes were long and striking, and a faint smile played on his lips as he walked over.

His voice was deep and pleasant. With a subtle smile, he said, “Miss Xiao Yang is indeed the top scorer in the College Entrance Examination. Only you could manage Gui’s personality.”

Ning Gui was deep in thought, calculating her next steps, and paused when she heard the voice.
