In the next few days, Gu Jiaojiao would post some sad-looking posts on WeChat Moments every night, occasionally mentioning painful memories.
Her body lost weight rapidly, dropping from more than eighty pounds to seventy pounds. Wearing Gu Xueer's clothes felt like she had stolen an adult's clothes.
The Gu family was busy with the engagement, and no one came to see her. The food was just like before, and someone would leave it at the door and knock on it.
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes became more and more vacant, her face became paler, and she looked like a broken doll in the window.
Her cell phone kept ringing, and everyone was trying to contact her but couldn't.
Gu Xiwen and Shen Jinyi ran to her community to find out her room number, but found no one there.
Zhou Qingyan was also looking for her, but even if he used his family connections, he couldn't find her.
It was as if Gu Jiaojiao did not exist in this world.
Her circle of friends is only updated in the early morning.
If not everyone had seen her, they would all wonder if they had encountered a ghost.
Lu Lici also returned to China. He learned from Gu Jiaojiao's circle of friends that he just gave her a hand, but she called him a good person and fell in love with him.
But he hesitated and backed down because of her appearance.
Lu Lici regretted very much, regretting why he had to escape and why he told Gu Jiaojiao that he needed to calm down for a while.
He is not a good person at all, just a coward who can only run away.
………
Late the night before the engagement, Gu Jiaojiao sent nine pictures without any accompanying text.
Just nine screenshots.
They were all malicious insults and taunts received on her game account, as well as words sent by some obscene people.
She picked out the 9 most ugly ones and sent them out.
Gu Xi heard that Shen Jinyi and the others felt distressed when they saw this circle of friends, but when Zhou Qingyan saw it, it was like being struck by thunder.
He called Lu Lici and asked, "What's the name of the... girl you like?"
Lu Lici wiped his face and replied in a low mood: "Gu Jiaojiao."
Zhou Qingyan hung up the phone and clenched his fists.
As smart as he is, he figured everything out in just a moment.
The kitten that ran away was the liar Lu Lici met online.
Violent emotions roiled in his chest, and his throat was sore, as if he was holding a breath.
Zhou Qingyan has never been so out of control, and has never felt such a deep sense of suffocation.
Thinking of his words "do one good deed a day" and the screenshot Gu Jiaojiao sent, what was her mood when she posted it.
"Pa!" Zhou Qingyan suddenly slapped himself. Feeling the pain on his cheek, he clenched his fist again.
Does it hurt?
His kitten might be in 10,000 times more pain than him...
Zhou Qingyan lowered her head, thinking that the little girl who was always smiling and full of energy had become what she is now.
His eyes couldn't help but feel sour anymore.
That night, no one fell asleep except Lu Lisheng, who was full of good expectations.
………
The day of the engagement.
Gu Huarun and Zhang Ying finally stepped into Gu Jiaojiao's door for the first time. When they saw that she had changed her clothes obediently and was sitting in front of the dressing table, they smiled with satisfaction.
"Jiaojiao, the makeup artist and stylist are here to help you dress up. Today we, Jiaojiao, will be the most beautiful girls." Gu Huarun said with a genuine smile, and the company will get it soon.
Gu Jiaojiao nodded numbly, like a puppet on strings.
Zhang Ying and the others didn't care about her emotions. Zhang Ying said to the makeup artist: "Use concealer to cover the birthmark on her face."
For the birthmark on Gu Jiaojiao's face, she specially hired a makeup artist who did special effects makeup on the set. Ordinary makeup artists probably couldn't cover the birthmark on her face.
Before putting on makeup, the stylist asked Gu Jiaojiao to put on a dress. This dress was sent by Lu Lisheng and was the latest season's high-end dress.
The dress fit Gu Jiaojiao before, but it was a little too wide for her after losing a lot of weight.
The stylist had to change it on the spot before it fit properly.
Gu Jiaojiao sat in front of the dressing table and let the makeup artist apply it on her face. The stylist was also helping her put her hair up.
It took about an hour before the overall shape was completed.
Everyone looked at Gu Jiaojiao in the mirror with stunning eyes!
They didn't expect that Gu Jiaojiao would be so beautiful without her birthmark...
Her facial features are extremely delicate, her skin is as white as snow, and her high bun hair makes her whole person energetic and noble. Paired with a pure white haute couture dress, her whole person is as fresh and refined as a fairy.
Gu Huarun couldn't help but laugh and praised him repeatedly.
The Lu family would be more satisfied with Gu Jiaojiao looking like this, right?
Why didn't you think about taking her to the hospital to remove the birthmark on her face before?
Gu Huarun always felt that he had forgotten something, but he was in such a good mood now that he didn't bother to think about it.
Lu Lisheng's engagement banquet was scheduled at the Lu family's old house. All the famous people from Haishi came and it was very lively.
Five people gathered in Lu Lisheng's room.
Lu Lisheng straightened his clothes in the mirror and said, "What have you been busy with lately? If I hadn't gotten engaged today, I wouldn't have seen you."
One by one, they suddenly became mysterious.
None of the other four people answered.
Lu Lisheng looked at them strangely and found that each of them had black circles under their eyes.
He was surprised: "Did the four of you form a team to become thieves?"
Shen Jin also twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Zhou Qingyan kept looking down at his phone, as if he was sending a message to someone.
He was still checking where Gu Jiaojiao was.
Lu Lisheng even asked two questions but no one answered, and he lost interest. He said in a disappointed tone, "Let's go down and get ready. My fiancée will be here soon."
Several people went downstairs, and many people gathered around and said congratulations to Lu Lisheng. Lu Lisheng responded one by one with a pleasant smile.
Mrs. Lu is also in high spirits during happy events. She was chatting with several ladies: "I didn't expect that among us, I will be the mother-in-law first."
Mrs. Zhou: "Your family Sheng is already engaged, when will our Qing Yan find a girlfriend?"
Mrs. Gu: "Why are you anxious? I'm not anxious. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't worry about them."
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "You have a good attitude."
While they were chatting, the housekeeper came over and told Mrs. Lu that the Gu family's car had arrived.
Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Excuse me for now. You guys can talk."
Mrs. Lu, Father Lu, and Lu Lisheng went to the door to greet her. Many people at the banquet noticed and looked over.
Gu Jiaojiao got out of the car, took Gu Huarun's arm, and walked towards the banquet hall step by step.
There was no expression on her face, as if she was not the one getting engaged.
The moment she saw Lu Lisheng, she had a surprised expression on her face.
