Hearing this voice, Xia Qingtian turned her head and saw Yu Linwan and Cheng Feiran.
Cheng Feiran was the one who had just mocked her, while Yu Linwan was looking around, seemingly searching for someone.
With Xia Qingtian's keen sense for gossip, she immediately understood who Yu Linwan was looking for.
"Ms. Yu, you don't need to look anymore. Mr. Gu isn't here," Xia Qingtian said with a smile, enjoying the drama. "He had a last-minute work commitment. The person who came is his special assistant."
"I wasn't looking for anyone." Yu Linwan's face clearly showed a hint of deep disappointment. She then shot Xia Qingtian a glare and said coldly, "Xia Qingtian, I can overlook this incident because you're young and your words are reckless. If you dare to spout nonsense again, even if you're from Gu's Entertainment, I'll have Yaoyang teach you a lesson."
She had long wanted to slap this Xia Qingtian twice, that slut.
Even if she wanted to see Gu Yaoyang again, that was her own business, what did it have to do with this Xia Qingtian!
Did she need to be shouting and yelling here?
Didn't she know she was a married woman?
Xia Qingtian's actions were ruining her reputation. Warning her once was already giving Mrs. Camille face.
If she dared to speak carelessly again, she would tear that little tramp's dirty mouth apart!
"What did I say recklessly? Ms. Yu, why don't you elaborate for me?" Xia Qingtian blinked her big eyes and chuckled. "As the CEO of Wanqing Entertainment, it's normal for you to want to discuss cooperation with the CEO of Gu's Entertainment, isn't it? What? You weren't looking for Mr. Gu to discuss cooperation?"
"You!" Yu Linwan choked, immediately sentencing Xia Qingtian to death in her heart.
This sharp-tongued, attention-seeking clown!
What a nobody!
"Sister Wan, there's no need to waste words on her. She's just someone who tagged along for a spot, probably trying to get noticed by Mrs. Camille. Why bother with an insignificant nobody from outside the top eighteen tiers?" Cheng Feiran's tone remained condescending and dismissive of Xia Qingtian.
Yu Linwan clearly found Cheng Feiran's words to be quite reasonable.
Xia Qingtian had no personal ability other than latching onto powerful figures.
She was pretty, though.
But the entertainment industry was never short of beauties; they were a dime a dozen.
What was she, anyway!
Just as Xia Qingtian was about to retort, she felt someone hook her arm.
"Qingtian, you're here! I've been looking for you all over," Amiya said, sounding a bit excited, her Basque becoming faster and faster.
"I was just about to congratulate you, but there were too many people, and I couldn't get through," Xia Qingtian said with a chuckle, looking at Amiya. "Congratulations officially, you've found your family."
"Qingtian..." Hearing Xia Qingtian's words, Amiya felt a prickle in her nose.
From the moment Mrs. Camille announced that she was adopting her as her daughter, the congratulatory words came one after another, like waves crashing towards her.
She was completely dazed. Those words, some true and some false, and the gazes of those people were all strange.
Only Xia Qingtian's gaze towards her was the most sincere, as if she genuinely empathized with her loneliness and wished for her happiness.
Although she still didn't understand the mysterious Eastern power Xia Qingtian possessed, she knew that Xia Qingtian was definitely a remarkable woman, and even more so, someone worth befriending.
She had saved her, preventing her from going astray and committing unforgivable wrongdoings.
"Qingtian, thank you," Amiya gave Xia Qingtian a big hug. "I'm so happy. You're my good friend, and I wish you well."
"Thank you for your well wishes," Xia Qingtian said sincerely. "You are my good friend too."
Having witnessed Amiya's life for the past five years, Xia Qingtian had already considered Amiya her friend in her heart.
Watching Xia Qingtian and Amiya hugging affectionately, appearing as close confidantes and speaking in Basque, which Yu Linwan and Cheng Feiran couldn't understand, the complexions of both women turned sour.
They also recognized Amiya as the lucky girl who had just been adopted by Mrs. Camille.
They couldn't figure out how someone like this got involved with Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian had only arrived a day earlier than them and had already latched onto a new powerful connection!
And it was Mrs. Camille's sole heir!
What kind of狗血 good luck was this!
Thinking of this, Yu Linwan and Cheng Feiran couldn't help but feel a surge of envy and sourness in their hearts.
What kind of damned luck did this little tramp have!
"Congratulations, Miss Amiya," Yu Linwan said in French.
Amiya then turned her gaze towards Yu Linwan and Cheng Feiran. Seeing that they were like the people who had congratulated her earlier, their gazes even more unfriendly, Amiya could only offer an awkward smile and a nod in response. She then turned back to Xia Qingtian and continued speaking in Basque, "There are many guests tonight. Camille said she couldn't personally entertain you and Mobius. After the banquet, she'll treat you to a meal. Camille will personally cook, and I'll help too!"
"Oh my, I'm so looking forward to it. And there are many other guests. You go ahead and mingle," Xia Qingtian said, knowing that tonight's feast would be busy, with many attendees being fashion industry magnates she had only seen in magazines and online.
She was here for a work-funded trip this time and didn't intend to expand her professional network.
After bidding farewell to Amiya, Xia Qingtian noticed that Yu Linwan and Cheng Feiran had also left, seemingly in conversation with an editor-in-chief of a foreign fashion magazine.
Xia Qingtian could afford to lie back and play the humble role, but Yu Linwan, as the CEO of Wanqing Entertainment, had brought Cheng Feiran along specifically for the company's future.
Naturally, they wouldn't waste any more time with Xia Qingtian.
Without their interference, Xia Qingtian enjoyed the delicious food and admired the beautiful people, living a carefree life.
"Qingtian," Mobius found Xia Qingtian the moment he entered the banquet hall and gave her a big hug.
Xia Qingtian had given him too many surprises, not only regarding Mrs. Camille and Amiya but also changing Jean Lingol's fate in an extraordinary way.
In the past, despite his repeated efforts, he could only watch these people perish. But Xia Qingtian had brought them new life.
His plan, which he had almost given up on, could finally begin to be implemented.
This time, he would surely defy fate!
Xia Qingtian had truly shown him hope and light.
Suddenly embraced by Mobius, Xia Qingtian was a little bewildered. She offered him the Madeleine cake she had just picked up, which she hadn't bitten yet, "A gesture of goodwill?"
"Pfft." Mobius was amused by Xia Qingtian's gesture. He opened his mouth, allowing Xia Qingtian to feed him the small Madeleine cake. After chewing, he commented, "Sweet."
