Others might fear Qin Xiaoya, but Gu Xiangzhou certainly did not.
"Heh, Qin Xiaoya, I don't want to repeat myself. You should just accept the one million compensation. Otherwise, in the end, you might not get a single cent," Gu Xiangzhou said, his expression turning cold. Since Qin Xiaoya showed him no respect, he felt no need to extend any courtesy to her.
The Qin family and the Gu family were both prominent families in the capital, and their clash was something that others could only watch with interest. Sister Liang and Wu Xiangli sensed that the atmosphere was tense. Seeing Qin Xiaoya stand her ground against Gu Xiangzhou made them realize just how significant her background was.
"Sister Liang, this Miss Qin seems to have quite a powerful background. She was so polite to Mr. Jiang just now. You didn't offend Mr. Jiang, did you?" Wu Xiangli whispered anxiously in Sister Liang's ear.
Sister Liang's face twitched slightly as she sensed that things were not looking good.
"It's fine; if I offended him, then so be it. Do you think I have no connections in the capital?" Sister Liang said, forcing herself to remain calm.
Wu Xiangli responded with an "oh" and fell silent, genuinely believing that Sister Liang had some impressive connections that allowed her to navigate among the elite of the capital.
Gu Xiangzhou and Qin Xiaoya faced each other coldly, neither willing to back down. This was not just a confrontation between the two of them but also a battle between their families. If either of them backed down, it would imply fear of the other; maintaining face was more important than anything else for these wealthy families, so Gu Xiangzhou was determined not to yield.
"It seems you're really asking for trouble," Qin Xiaoya said with a slight shake of her head as she stepped forward.
"Oh? President Qin, you don't actually intend to make a move, do you?" Gu Xiangzhou laughed when he saw Qin Xiaoya standing barely a meter away from him.
Before he could finish his sentence, a crisp sound of a slap echoed through the noisy venue.
"Smack!"
Gu Xiangzhou truly did not expect Qin Xiaoya to actually strike him; her speed and strength caught him off guard. His head buzzed from the impact, and he stumbled slightly as if about to fall.
Everyone was stunned, especially Yang Yuxin, Sister Liang, Wu Xiangli, and Wang Tu. They had never anticipated that Qin Xiaoya would resort to violence so quickly over a disagreement.
Aren't young heirs supposed to be well-mannered? To act out in public like this was utterly disgraceful, especially since Qin Xiaoya was the president of the Qin Family Group.
"Gu... Young Master Gu... are you okay?" Wang Tu and the Wavy Haired Girl hurried over with concern.
Gu Xiangzhou shook his head and took nearly thirty seconds to regain his composure.
"Qin... Xiaoya, you have guts to strike me when I wasn't prepared," Gu Xiangzhou gritted his teeth in anger.
Initially, the conflict between Gu Xiangzhou and Qin Xiaoya had been minor and unnoticed by others at the event. However, once Qin Xiaoya made her move, all eyes turned toward them.
"What happened? Who did Young Master Gu clash with? Who is that beautiful woman?"
Most people present recognized Gu Xiangzhou due to his involvement in the entertainment industry and numerous tabloid stories about him. In contrast, while Qin Xiaoya was well-known in high society circles in the capital and kept her privacy tightly guarded—rarely making headlines—many did not recognize her.
"That is Qin Xiaoya from the Qin family; she's currently the president of Qin Group. How did she end up in conflict with Gu Xiangzhou? It seems like there’s no animosity between the Qin family and the Gu family. Even if there were issues, it shouldn't have escalated to violence," people murmured in confusion and curiosity.
