Let's Divorce As Agreed

Chapter 1026: Chapter 1025 Attend a Charity Gala (2)

Shu Pan nodded. Gu Huanhuan had been immersed in high society since childhood, and she knew all too well the games the wealthy played. Asking her was definitely not wrong.

Spending money at a charity auction didn’t actually entail a loss; though the money was spent, one still obtained something in return.

It was different with donated auction items; in the end, the item wasn’t one’s own, and yet the auction proceeds didn’t belong to oneself either. No wonder people in high society preferred charity auctions.

“What kind of price range would be suitable for us to bring?” Shu Pan inquired. Over the years, Gu Shaoting had given her many precious pieces of jewelry, some of which were one of a kind. He bought them without even blinking, but she never wore them, preferring to keep them in a safe.

“Upper-middle, I’d say. Don’t go too low-end or people will laugh, after all, my brother’s reputation is at stake.” Gu Huanhuan pondered for a moment before adding, “The items they auction off are at least tens of millions. Us bringing something worth a few million wouldn’t be considered rude.”

“Fine, as long as we’re not seen as stingy,” Shu Pan agreed.@@novelbin@@

“Absolutely,” she had often witnessed the venom of the media.

“Cousin-in-law, you don’t need to worry about these things when you’re with my big brother.” Gu Huanhuan felt her sister-in-law fretted over nothing, as her brother had always been very generous to his wife, to the point of envy.

“Okay then.” The ways of high society, even after marrying Gu Shaoting for so long, she still couldn’t grasp them completely.

After getting full-body skincare treatments, Gu Huanhuan and Shu Pan went out to select gowns.

After the treatment, Shu Pan’s entire being appeared soft and pink. She had a good figure, fair skin and possessed a complexion as fine and delicate as coagulated cream, shiny and translucent, looking good in blue.

Since Gu Huanhuan had already purchased a champagne-colored gown last time, she didn’t need to pick one this time.

After looking over and over, with Gu Huanhuan as her reference, Shu Pan chose an ice-blue off-the-shoulder A-line dress.

The hem of the dress was silk satin lined and covered with a layer of floor-trailing chiffon, fresh and elegant.

As for jewelry, Shu Pan decided to wear a pearl necklace. Gu Shaoting had previously given her a strand of pink pearls, all the same size, each lustrous, translucent, and plump, which she loved very much.

She had asked Gu Shaoting about the price, but he just smiled and said, “As long as you like it.”

Shu Pan sent photos of the gown and jewelry she planned to wear to Gu Shaoting, and he was very satisfied.

…

Gu Shaoting arrived on time to pick up Shu Pan and Gu Huanhuan.

This charity dinner was held in a five-star hotel.

Such a prestigious charity event invited socialites and business magnates, each guest meticulously selected.

The Zhou family had organized it with great care. Right out of the car door, they stepped directly onto the red carpet, with reporters on both sides, cameras in their hands.

Gu Shaoting escorted Shu Pan on one arm and Gu Huanhuan on the other. As soon as they appeared, the lights started flashing incessantly.

Shu Pan felt a bit uncomfortable, as she usually had little contact with the media.

Meanwhile, Gu Huanhuan appeared unaffected, her demeanor calm as she waved at the media.

In Shu Pan’s ear, Gu Shaoting whispered, “Let me know if you see anything you like tonight, okay? I’ll buy it for you.”

Before Shu Pan could reply, Gu Huanhuan interjected from the side, “Bro, have you considered my feelings? I’m fed up with dog food.”

Shu Pan quickly attempted to smooth things over, “I don’t lack anything, Huanhuan, if you like something, just tell your brother.”

“Tell him for what, tell Uncle Wen instead,” Gu Shaoting countered.

“Cousin-in-law, see what a penny-pincher my brother is,” Gu Huanhuan pouted and complained.

“Your brother’s just joking,” Shu Pan said, looking at the two siblings with exasperation.
