Xia Weiliang turned her head to look at Xiao Yi, "Why are you so harsh on him?"
"Am I?"
Xiao Yi denied it, "I treat him incredibly well. He's one of my few friends."
Xia Weiliang's gaze was focused, seeing through but not speaking.
"If it's not for me, then what is your attitude?" he asked lazily, raising an eyebrow. "You're chatting so warmly with him, you haven't even said a few words to me. What more do you want me to do for him? I've already been quite polite."
Xia Weiliang suddenly leaned closer, "So... you are..."
"Yes."
He glanced at her and turned away without another word.
Only Xia Weiliang was left standing stunned, then she slowly pursed her lips, a feeling of indescribable sweetness in her heart. Sudannovel.com
She lowered her head and kicked the corner of the table, "Oh dear, you admitted it so readily, leaving me no psychological preparation~"
As she thought, she covered her cheeks and giggled.
"Liang!" Director Du arrived, his smile much more joyous than hers. "Were you talking to the film emperor just now? What did you talk about? By the way, why is the film emperor here? Isn't he attending such private parties?"
Xia Weiliang looked up at him, frowning, "How do you all know about his little habit?"
"Of course! Who do you think he is? He's the film emperor!" Director Du said, "To put it colloquially, if he stamps his foot, the entertainment industry trembles! What do you think he does that the outside world doesn't pay attention to? Take his presence here today, I can guarantee that tomorrow all sorts of big V's and influential figures will be making a big fuss, and they'll be trying their best to connect him with you! By then, all sorts of 'little essays' and 'little romances' will be arranged!"
Director Du became more and more pleased with the thought. This way, the company wouldn't have to spend a dime, and they'd get all the traffic and buzz!
Xia Weiliang looked at him suspiciously, "Little Du, you didn't arrange for these people, did you!"
The way he described it was so familiar, who else could she suspect?
"How could that be! You really underestimate your Brother Du!" Director Du immediately analyzed it for her, "If I had arranged it, do you know how much publicity budget would need to be approved? But now, without spending a single cent, we get the effect of top-tier promotion. If I spent money, would I be an idiot?"
Xia Weiliang listened carefully and nodded, "It does sound rather foolish!"
"Exactly! So, we can't waste a good opportunity. When it's time to use it, we must use it..." He immediately silenced himself and covered his mouth, indicating that he had said too much.
Xia Weiliang chuckled. Of course, she wouldn't tell Xiao Yi about these words. No one liked to be used.
Just then, she heard a commotion around her. Xia Weiliang only heard something about "Sixth Master."
She was startled and immediately turned her head towards the entrance. Was it that Sixth Master?
There were many wealthy people in this circle, but few who were rich and powerful enough to become a regional overlord.
So, she stared at the entrance and, upon seeing the person walking in, knew it was Sixth Master with just one glance.
Xia Weiliang's vision was blurred, and seeing an old acquaintance felt as though two lifetimes had passed.
The feeling was truly subtle.
The appearance of a powerful figure like Sixth Master was a true honor, and more and more people rushed forward to introduce themselves, surrounding him. The faces of those around him were filled with excitement and anticipation, all hoping to have a chat with Sixth Master.
Behind Sixth Master followed Meng Xiuyi, tall, slender, refined, and polite, handling interactions with just the right touch.
Sixth Master gave a slight nod to those around him as a greeting and was personally escorted to the main seat by the host, who personally poured him water and served tea.
Unexpectedly, Sixth Master had come, and the atmosphere became lively as everyone looked for an opportunity to speak with him.
Since taking his seat, Sixth Master had been resting with his eyes closed, making it clear he did not wish to engage with the people around him.
At this moment, faint footsteps could be heard.
They were cautious, and then stopped in front of Sixth Master.
Sixth Master had brought two bodyguards, who now spoke with a slight reprimand, "Please do not approach this area."
In a place filled with business magnates, behaving this uniquely would have earned anyone else scolding, but since it was Sixth Master, everything became reasonable.
Xia Weiliang was startled and truly dared not approach further. Instead, she squatted down, staring at Sixth Master's face.
When Sixth Master opened his eyes, he immediately met a pair of beautiful, clear eyes...
He suddenly froze, staring at her dazedly, a hint of shock in his gaze, staring unblinkingly at Xia Weiliang.
She remembered the first time she met Sixth Master, it was probably similar to this.
He kept staring at her, saying she looked very much like an old acquaintance of his...
Xia Weiliang was acutely aware that she wasn't familiar with Sixth Master here, but the opportunity was truly rare, and she missed him too!
Therefore, disregarding whether she would be mocked for "riding on Sixth Master's coattails," she came over and squatted down at a distance, secretly watching Sixth Master.
Fortunately, her evening gown wasn't prone to accidental exposure, otherwise, there would have been a flurry of revealing photos.
After staring at her for a few seconds, Sixth Master suddenly smiled, "You are..."
"Xia Weiliang." Xia Weiliang, afraid of disturbing the bodyguards, kept glancing at them and then whispered, "I just felt you were particularly kind, and very much like an elder in my family, so I couldn't help but want to look at you a few more times. Oh, don't worry, I'll leave after a few glances."
Honestly, there were all sorts of people who, for various reasons, wanted to curry favor with Sixth Master, but few were as direct as Xia Weiliang.
"I resemble an elder in your family? Who do I resemble?"
"Grandfather!"
She blurted out.
Sixth Master smiled, "I look very much like him?"
Xia Weiliang shook her head, "Not at all... Oh, it's like this, I've never met my maternal grandfather, but I feel like you look like him. I don't know why."
Her words piqued Sixth Master's interest. He raised his hand slightly, and the bodyguards consciously stepped back.
Xia Weiliang, acting like someone with a touch of social butterfly in her, directly sat down, not caring if he was the magnate everyone present fawned over.
Sixth Master was not distant with her either, smiling and asking, "Where is your maternal grandfather?"
"I don't know where he is. I haven't seen my family since I was born."
Meng Xiuyi had been not far from Sixth Master and naturally overheard their conversation. He used the shortest amount of time to find all of Xia Weiliang's information and then quietly handed his phone to Sixth Master.
Sixth Master glanced at it and immediately understood.
But he was even more puzzled, "If you've never met your grandfather, then why do you say I resemble him?"
Xia Weiliang smiled and said, "I had a dream. In my dream, I met my grandfather, and while I wouldn't say he looked exactly like you, he was cast from the same mold."
"Heh, so much alike?"
Xia Weiliang affirmed, "So much alike."
In the distance, Xiao Yi was also stunned when he saw this area. How could Xia Weiliang be so chummy with Sixth Master? Had they known each other before?
At this moment, someone said, "Your girlfriend is quite extraordinary."
