At six in the evening, the entrance of the Cadillac Hotel was bustling with people, mostly paparazzi holding microphones and cameras, along with a few passersby drawn in by the 'spectacle' at the door.
The opening cocktail party for Sky Media was being held here, and the paparazzi were speculating whether the mysterious president of Qingtian Group had some connection with the head of Cadillac; otherwise, why would such a grand event be entrusted to Cadillac? However, their guesses were in vain. Without an invitation, they could only stand outside peering in, struggling to gather any useful information.
It was said that Qingtian Group had invested heavily in managing Sky Media and had splurged billions to sign several stars from the entertainment industry, aiming to elevate Sky Media to a top position in the industry, just like Qingtian Group.
As time passed, more celebrities arrived, prompting the paparazzi to get busy. Even if they couldn't secure an exclusive scoop, capturing all the stars would still count as a job well done. At that moment, Jerry and Xinran arrived. He parked the car at the hotel entrance and then gentlemanly opened the door for Xinran in the passenger seat. As Xinran stepped out of the car and entered the view of the paparazzi, she heard gasps from the crowd. She knew she would be the center of attention tonight, regardless of how many heavyweight stars were present because she was wearing a gown sent to her by Augus!
The floor-length silver strapless gown was one of this year's most celebrated creations by Paris's renowned designer Barfe. The slightly narrow skirt perfectly outlined Xinran's graceful figure, with her prominent bust and curvy hips covered by knitted silk threads that contrasted with the overall material of the dress. The subtle hints of skin were what made it most alluring.
Xinran linked her arm with Jerry's and elegantly walked into the hotel. Her normally jet-black hair was styled into wild waves today, perfectly complementing her gown that balanced sensuality and purity. It was a seemingly contradictory combination that captivated onlookers. Around her neck was a new Cartier necklace that appeared understated yet beautifully highlighted her prominent collarbone—an impeccable match.
In response to the incessant questions and flashes from the paparazzi, Xinran merely smiled lightly but felt disdain for what lay ahead. Yesterday, she received this gown along with a card that boldly stated, "I hope to have the honor of seeing you wear it," signed by Mu Shaosi. How dare he send her a gown? Did he think that by inviting her to this opening cocktail party after she accepted Hiya's suggestion, she would forgive him for what he had done?
It seemed Mu Shaosi truly did not understand her. Today she would give him a chance to understand her better and make it clear what kind of woman she was!
"Xinran, although I don't agree with your coming here, I know you have your reasons for doing so. That's why I'm accompanying you. But you must promise me not to..."
"Alright, Jerry, I know what you're trying to say. Don't worry; my purpose for being here today is clear-cut, but it definitely won't be what you're concerned about!"
"Then I can relax!" Jerry gently patted Xinran's hand resting on his arm before pulling out a gold-embossed invitation card from his white tailored suit pocket and handing it to the host at the entrance.
Host received the invitation card, bowed at a ninety-degree angle to them, and then led them into the venue of the cocktail party. Xinran had little expression on her face as she observed each elegantly dressed guest at the party. They gathered in small groups, either exchanging pleasantries or lightly clinking their glasses, maintaining what they called relationships. After all, those who could enter such an occasion were not ordinary people.
“Miss Xia, I’m glad you could come tonight. The president is still upstairs; I’ll go inform him of your arrival,” Mukai Saki approached and politely addressed Xinran, stating that she was there specifically at Young Master Si's request to welcome her.
“Mizuki, hello, I’m also very pleased to meet you tonight. Oh, I misspoke; you are clearly his secretary. Regardless of his status, you should be his secretary, and it’s only natural for you to welcome me as a guest. However, there’s no need to inform him; I’ll manage on my own. Even if your president came down personally to greet me, it wouldn’t make a difference…” Xinran's words were sharp, and her previous good impression of Mukai Saki vanished entirely simply because she was an associate of Mu Shaosi. She was quite curious about whether Mukai Saki had looked at her like she was a ridiculous joke when she had asked for Mu Shaosi's contact information back then, considering that her master was indeed present but just avoiding meeting her.
“Miss Xia, actually…”
“Mizuki, I’ll head over there first; excuse me!” Xinran said coldly as she pulled Jerry away.
