Chapter 50 – Preparing for the Banquet
As the only girl in the younger generation of the Jing family, Jing Ruo was treated as a previous pearl even if she wasn’t blood related .
Since she had returned from abroad, the Jing family held a welcome banquet for her alone . The venue for the gathering was at the most luxurious Jinnian Hotel in the Imperial City .
Based on the Jing family’s current prestige, various male G.o.ds and emperors will be in attendance .
Gu Jin had to eat in advance . If she ate a lot at the banquet, not only will she make a laughing stock of herself, but she would also end up ruining her formal wear .
After spending over an hour getting dressed and meticulously making herself beautiful, Gu Jin pondered to her plans .
Her idea was to not show all of her true colors today . She didn’t need to dress too extravagantly, as long as she doesn’t make a fool of herself . Otherwise, she might bring a disaster by stealing the party host’s limelight .
Gu Jin smoothed out her dress and sighed .
Mu Mingcheng’s a.s.sistant had sent over a gown, along with a matching purse, shoes, and jewelry . Surely, these were worth millions of dollars .
Obviously the style he chose kept her in a low profile .
Nevertheless, she had to admit that the gown’s style suited her aesthetics very well . After putting on the dress, she twirled around in front of the mirror and sighed . It was very sweet of him, but it was also a bit overbearing .

At 6 pm the sky had darkened and Gu Jin walked out of the apartment building .
Her high heel shoes clattered on the stairs as she descended . She held her white clutch while wondering what kind of mood Mu Mingcheng was in to actually send her a pair of 10 cm high heels .
Once she reached the foot of the stairs she saw a black car parked in front of her . Despite looking low key, the inside contained the ultimate luxury features .
Gu Jin paused and adjusted her facial expression .
As the gorgeous woman came near, driver Liu who, who was familiar with Gu Jin, stepped out of the car and held open the pa.s.senger’s seat for the lady .

“Miss Gu, Mr . Mu is in a hurry . Let me see you over first, he’ll be joining you later . ” Driver Liu spoke in a straightforward manner, as if he didn’t care how beautiful his pa.s.senger was .
“It doesn’t matter,” Gu Jin replied as she sat on the backseat . She looked up with a smile and said, “Pardon me Brother Liu . . ”
“How long have you been working for Mr . Mu?” she suddenly asked .
Driver Liu concentrated his sights on the road and replied, “It’s been almost five years . ”
Five years!
Gu Jin thought that Mu Mingcheng had only inherited the Mu family’s business three years ago .

The car traveled smoothly . Since it was rush hour, the imperial capital highway was overcome with heavy traffic . Even this luxurious car, which usually gets its way around the road, can only endure the traffic at this time and go forward in a snail like pace .
