Three days later.
On the day of Daniel's grandfather's birthday party.
Wearing a dark green V-neck dress, with black hair, Kate gracefully came to the lively central Hall of the Gu Family's mansion with flowers in her hands.
Rich people gathered inside.
Every woman was dignified!
When Daniel's grandfather had a rest, Kate walked towards him and said, "Grandfather, happy birthday! Wish you a lot of luck, happiness and health!" Her voice was loud and clear.
"Wow, she is beautiful!"
"I heard she is Daniel's fiancee!"
"I must say that Daniel has good taste!"
Everyone applauded the performance of Kate.
"Your granddaughter-in-law is very beautiful!"
"She is good looking with a decent manner!"
"Yes, I must say, she wasn't at all what I imagined."
It turned out that Daniel's grandfather thought Kate wouldn't be so decent. If she was in such an occasion before, her legs would have been soft. He didn't expect her to be so beautiful and have a very powerful aura.
He was gratified that his grandson had a good taste.
Kate keenly observed the people around her. She knew that there were too many relatives of the Gu Family, and then the elders of the five great families, who represented ninety percent of the wealth of the city.
"Kate, sit here." The shrewd Ruby greeted Kate warmly.
Daniel's grandfather nodded with satisfaction. He waved at Kate and said, "Kate, your grandmother have prepared a gift for you!"
Ruby patted on Kate's shoulder and gestured for her to go towards Daniel's grandfather.
"Grandfather, I can't accept this. This is too extravagant." Kate shook her head, pretending to be shy.
At this time, Daniel, dressed in a suit, came to the middle hall. He saw the delicate and beautiful Kate at the first sight. Her dress was very fashion, very simple and decent. Long hair draped over her shoulders, bright eyes and bright teeth, and light makeup suited her.
She looked pure and sweet.
She was acting like a pretty little highborn girl.
Hearing what Daniel's grandfather said, his grandmother was stunned. She lowered her head and asked, "What gift?"
Daniel's grandfather turned his head and whispered to a servant, beckoning him to go back to the backyard. The servant quickly took a beautifully packaged box, opened it with a snap, and then took out a crystal clear green bracelet from it.
The bracelet looked quite valuable.
It was so delicate that made people cannot take their eyes off it.
Kate got a sneak peek at the bracelet.
'This is the Rolls-Royce of bracelets!'
Kate thought. She quickly glanced at them and shook her head. "Grandpa, grandma, it's too expensive. I can't accept it!" As she spoke, she took a step back and deliberately glanced at the direction of Daniel from the corner of her eyes.
Daniel was stunned. He didn't expect that she would turn to him for help, and he didn't expect that his grandfather would give this bracelet to Kate. It was the heirloom of the Gu Family, which meant that his grandparents acknowledged Kate as the daughter-in-law of the Gu Family.
So he strode forward to persuade Kate, "Take it. It's grandpa and grandma's love."
"Thank you, Grandpa and grandma!"
Kate nodded and took over the gift with her hands.
She didn't feel she could say no.
All of a sudden, she felt a kind of bone devouring coldness rolling over from the back of her head, like carrying the ice in the North Pole. The coldness made the blood all over her body freeze, which made her four feet numb. She turned her head, but found nothing.
She touched her neck and felt a little cold.
But no one turned on the air conditioner in the room.
'What's going on?' Kate was confused.
At this moment, more people gathered here.
Someone shouted, "Mr. Gu, I'm waiting for their wedding."
"I'm waiting for Mr. Gu to have a grandson!"
"We should choose a good day!"
"Can we have a big wedding party?"
"No, problem!" Daniel's grandfather talked happily with everyone.
He was in high spirits because he involved in so many happy events.
Betty and her mother were standing not far away from Daniel's grandfather.
Betty, who was dressed in white, looked at the middle hall with her mother jealously. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Mother, why does the Gu Family like that bitch?"
"I will tell you a story that I don't know before.
Yesterday, your father told me that the little bitch's mother had saved Daniel's grandfather's life, so the two families got married. I heard that Daniel's grandfather values friendship and he doesn't want to cancel the marriage," Carla told his daughter the whole story of her stepdaughter's engagement.
"What about Ruby and Daniel's grandmother's attitude?" Betty asked.
"Of course his grandmother will listen to her husband. As for Ruby, she is a cunning fox who will bite people to the bone. Behind her is the Leng's Group, the powerful man in the capital. You can't offend her in the future," Carla said to his daughter.
"It's so troublesome!" Betty was a little annoyed.
"Gu Family has immense wealth. If you can marry Daniel, you can have a better life." Carla sighed, "Your father's wealth is almost running out these years, so you have to marry into the Gu Family. Do you know? If you want to have a better life, you must marry Daniel."
"I know. I will try my best to do it," Betty said and touched her belly. She was also worried.
She had planned to have a shotgun marriage.
But... She was not pregnant.
As soon as they looked up, they found that Kate was walking towards the bamboo grove. Betty immediately followed her and walked behind her in a few steps.
There was only a quiet lake beside the bamboo forest, and no one was around.
Standing by the lake, it was very cold. Knowing that her sister was following her, Kate said coldly, "Come out. I know you are there." She didn't even need to turn her head.
The two then stood side by side of the lake.
Betty turned her head to look at Kate and said fiercely, "You have extorted so much money from me. Why don't you let my brother-in-law go? No, he is not my brother-in-law. He is Daniel." Betty didn't want to call Daniel brother-in-law now. After all, she had a relationship with Daniel.
"The money is mine!" Kate stared coldly at the shameless Betty.
"But that's my card!" Betty shouted.
"The money belong to the Xiao Family! But your last name is Chen!" Kate fought back.
"You!" Betty was so angry that her face turned pale. She pointed at Kate without saying a word for a long time. Finally, she had to sarcastically say, "Do you want to know how I cured my face?" I thought you were really something! But I'm wrong."
"It's not a big deal! I don't care. I just know you have a cosmetic surgery," Kate said calmly.
"Whether my face is natural or man-made, Daniel likes it," Betty said jealously, trying to irritate Kate deliberately. On the contrary, Kate was not angry at all.
"I want to negotiate with you today,"
Betty continued.
