Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life
chapter-177

Luo Pingting smiled and even turned to look at Luo Zheng, who was sipping his wine nearby.

“Big Brother, didn’t you say you want to have lamb chop this morning? Thank you in advance then, Shishi.”

Luo Zheng grinned an evil grin and raised his glass at Gu Shishi from the other side of the swimming pool.

That fool… did he read one too many domineering CEO novels?

Gu Shishi’s lips twitched.

In comparison, her Tsundere Huo at home was much more straightforward and cuter than this bunch over here. She suddenly felt appreciative that the system had picked a good male lead for her.

Thinking about that, with her eyes narrowed, she calmly shook off Luo Pingting’s arm that was grabbing onto her and said, “I’m sorry. I only make love meals at home.”

Gu Shishi curled her lips and smiled.

“I only cook for my future husband and my most beloved man.”

Under the sun, she reached out her delicately slender fingers.

“Other times, I need to take good care of my hand. I mean, if they become coarse or injured, I’m not sure anyone can… make that up to me.”

Her meaning was: Yes, I can cook, but they were neither worthy of nor could afford to try her cooking.

Everybody changed colors as soon as she finished talking.

Luo Pingting, the one who brought it up, gritted her teeth.

Gu Shishi didn’t take the bait?

Of course, it was part of their plan to insult her by having her cooking at the banquet.

No Young Miss would take on the role of a chef and busy herself inside of the kitchen when the others were enjoying themselves.

She thought that even if Gu Shishi was to turn her down, she’d at least be courteous about it and the purpose of insulting her would still be accomplished. She hadn’t expected that Gu Shishi would just go up against her like that.

“Oh yeah, Miss Luo. Wushuang mentioned to me before that you are very good at playing the piano? I wonder if I’d have the honor to hear you play today? I love having background music when I swim in the past. You know, some excitement is always necessary for one to persist in exercising.”

Luo Pingting’s face turned black all of a sudden!

This Gu Shishi was thorny and sharp with her words!

Gu Shishi had struck back and asked her to play the accompaniment while she swam. Did Gu Shishi not know that she is the host today?!

If she was to snap at her in front of everyone, that was like admitting that asking Gu Shishi to cook was her purposefully giving her a bad time.

Her picking on a guest as the host would sound very bad when words were spread by the servers.

This Gu Shishi was not an easy target!

Gu Wushuang, standing next to her, turned pale all of a sudden. “Shishi, when have I mentioned to you that…”

“Oh? It wasn’t you? That’s strange. It’s not like I have a lot of friends otherwise.”

Gu Shishi smiled. Of course she had just made that up.

Luo Pingting was an arrogant young miss from a prestigious family. It was only natural that she was well versed in a couple of musical instruments simply for the purpose of showing off. And piano was the most common one.

“Alrighty. I’m going to go change now. I can’t wait~”

Gu Shishi walked upstairs chuckling.

Gu Wushuang wanted to go upstairs with her, but she also wanted to clarify the misunderstanding with Luo Pingting. Now she was stuck between a rock and a hard place.

“It’s fine.” Luo Pingting took a deep breath. “I’ll play. Not like she could appreciate it anyway.”

After Gu Shishi had gotten up to the second floor, she saw Chen Kexin squatting inside of the dressing room.

The young girl had a blanket wrapped around her in distress.

She was pacing back and forth in front of the mirror, looking troubled.

Gu Shishi raised her brows and finally found out what it was when she walked closer to her.
