Gu Shaoting entered the venue arm in arm with two ladies, Gu Huanhuan whom everyone was fairly familiar with, because she often appeared in the media.
As for Shu Pan, fewer people knew her since she was not active on the social scene at all, but since she was brought by Gu Shaoting and he was all warm and caring to her throughout, everyone, whether they were acquainted or not, showed her a friendly smile and their attitudes could not have been more courteous.
Since others bore her no ill will, Shu Pan also responded with goodwill.
Having one more friend is always better than having one more enemy.
Shu Pan's nature was always rather mild, and she would not make enemies without reason.
"Cousin-in-law, you need to be careful. People at these events will say one thing and do another. They often stab you in the back," Gu Huanhuan warned, after all her years in the entertainment industry, she had met all sorts of characters.
