“That’s right, Miss Ji. I’m not close to you, so you should be glad that I’m using you. If I don’t have any motives, why should I help you? And what right do you have to believe me?”
Ji Yi was silent.
Although her words were straightforward and aloof, it was also the most convincing reason.
“Think it through. You’re welcome to look for me anytime.”
However, Shen Fanxing didn’t want to coerce her. She turned and gave her a light nod before leaving.
Ji Yi stood still at the same spot.
…
When she returned to the hall, Chu Yi and Xu Qingzhi’s appearance caused many people to gasp in surprise.
Tonight was simply a place filled with miracles. With so many outstanding people convened here, no matter how special a person was, everyone became ordinary tonight.
In the past six years, too many people had shed their immaturity and youth to join the new generation’s meticulous schemes and interests. They were frivolous and debauched and consist of both men and women.
There were also people who tried to strike up a conversation with Shen Fanxing. After a round of questioning, they were all disinterested by her cold response.
Bo Jinchuan didn’t show himself again, which made Shen Fanxing more relieved. Yin Ruijue helped Shen Fanxing to get a glass of fruit wine, while acting as her escort.
As the newly-crowned international Best Actor, Chu Yi naturally couldn’t avoid being surrounded and gawked at by people.
In this day and age, the commercialization of celebrities was undoubtedly the most popular trend.
No matter how beautiful Xu Qingzhi was, she still didn’t get any limelight.
As they stood before Shen Fanxing, the two of them smiled helplessly.
“You’re in the limelight tonight, aren’t you? Xu Qingzhi, when did you get together with the Best Actor?”
As Yin Ruijue spoke, he sized up Xu Qingzhi with a pair of mischievous eyes.
He knew that this woman was born into a good family and knew how to dress herself up. Ever since she was in school, she was one of the top beauties in the school. Every day, she dolled herself up and attracted many seniors and juniors.
From her appearance, she was even more charming than before.
She was dressed in an apricot-colored fishtail gown with a simple outline and a meticulous design. The sides of her gown subtly revealed the beautiful and fair skin of her waist. She was wearing a gown with a fishtail skirt and a slit on the right, revealing a long and slender leg. She couldn’t emphasize her curves, but her curves were highlighted in a subtle manner.
Elegant and regal, and sexy as well.
“The company has a collaboration with the Best Actor and we’re both from the alumni. Isn’t it normal for us to appear together?”
Xu Qingzhi thought nothing of it. She scanned her surroundings with a stoic expression and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
“Looking for Li Mo?”
Yin Ruijue leaned against a pillar and narrowed his eyes lazily.
“I didn’t see Li Mo, but I did meet Mo Xiaona.”
Xu Qingzhi’s expression changed slightly.
Yin Ruijue took a glance at her, then looked around the venue before adding thoughtfully,
“There’s no sign of Mo Xiaona right now. Li Mo came all the way back and it seems like he’s determined to bring Mo Xiaona back this time.”
Looking at Xu Qingzhi’s pale face, Shen Fanxing was furious. “Young Master Yin!”
Yin Ruijue blinked and glanced at Xu Qingzhi again. He suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, Chu Yi rushed over. Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t right, he asked coldly, “What’s wrong?”
Shen Fanxing sighed and said to Chu Yi, “Bring Qingzhi for a walk.”
Chu Yi turned his head to look at Xu Qingzhi. He saw that her face was pale and that she was frowning slightly. He raised his hand and hugged her waist.
The slightly-exposed skin was pressed against his palm as he brought her to turn around. Xu Qingzhi didn’t resist. With a slightly dazed expression, she allowed Chu Yi to bring her away.
In a relatively dark corner opposite them, a tall figure was hidden within. A pair of dark and narrow eyes stared in the direction of Chu Yi and Xu Qingzhi. A chill gradually surrounded him…
