Chapter 1122: Chapter 1118: Overthinking It
Although they hadn’t t in over two years, Qiao Xiaren still had quite a vivid impression of Lin Sheng, the eldest daughter of the Lin Family.
On her twentieth birthday, Qiao Xiaren had attended Lin Sheng’s birthday party. After two years, it seed that the young lady of the Lin Family had matured significantly, her deanor becoming remarkably refined, and she seed even more stunning in appearance.
The other individual was much more intriguing—it was none other than Princess Carly of C Country.
The two were considered rivals in love, yet here they were, standing together calmly, shaking hands and reconciling.
Could this be like that old saying—”the enemy of my enemy is my friend”?
The more Qiao Xiaren thought about it, the more amusing it felt. She suddenly found tonight’s drama growing more fascinating, thanks to the cast of characters making their entrance one by one.
Chen Lanjun didn’t know Carly well, but she did recognize the young woman standing beside her. Instinctively, she comnted to Qiao Xiaren, “Isn’t that the Lin Family’s young lady?”
“You know her too?”
“The Lin chairman’s most beloved daughter, of course I know her.” Chen Lanjun glanced over and sneered, “It’s been a while since I last saw her, but looking at her now, she almost seems like she’s had plastic surgery.”
“Plastic surgery?” Qiao Xiaren unconsciously repeated the phrase. She didn’t know much about Lin Sheng, but was surprised that Chen Lanjun could detect such a thing right away.
Perhaps noticing Qiao Xiaren’s confusion, Chen Lanjun chuckled gracefully and explained, “I’ve spent enough ti in the entertainnt industry to recognize who’s had work done and who hasn’t. Lin Sheng doesn’t look dramatically different from before, but you can tell she’s undergone subtle procedures to refine her features. Why else would she pursue such perfection? Unless she’s planning to enter our industry, this level of attention to detail seems a bit excessive.”
“Probably my fault,” Qiao Xiaren suddenly interjected. Her remark took Chen Lanjun by surprise, causing her to look at Qiao Xiaren in astonishnt. “What does Lin Sheng’s costic surgery have to do with you?” she asked.
“Years ago, I accompanied Si Limo to her birthday party. Maybe I unintentionally provoked her,” Qiao Xiaren comnted casually.
Chen Lanjun, upon hearing this nonchalant reply, nearly choked on her thoughts.
The more she reflected, the less she knew how to respond. Fine, you win! You’re unbeatable!
As it turned out, Wei Yanyuan’s previously ntioned “mystery guests” were Carly and Lin Sheng. No wonder he went to such extravagant lengths—it was all for these two elite ladies.
As the two interacted, Wei Yanyuan had already taken the glass of red wine handed to him by a waiter on stage. With elegance and poise, he stepped forward and raised his glass slightly: “We are truly honored tonight to have Miss Lin Sheng of the Lin Family and Princess Carly in attendance.”
Wei Yanyuan took his ti praising the two esteed guests on stage, emphasizing their status and beauty.
Occasionally, so people in the audience chid in with murmurs of agreent. They weren’t envious of their beauty—after all, having an enviable face was practically a basic asset for anyone aiming to be a star—but their aristocratic family backgrounds inevitably left others sighing wistfully.
“Good evening, everyone. I’m thrilled to have been invited by Director Wei to join this event in the entertainnt industry. Seeing so many popular stars in person, I’m genuinely excited,” Lin Sheng said gracefully, maintaining her poise as she spoke appropriately platitudinous remarks befitting the occasion.
In truth, Lin Sheng was far more exhilarated right now than her refined deanor revealed.
She knew Si Limo was among the audience, and she had transford over the past two years, becoming even more dazzling—whether in appearance or in other respects.
Countless eyes in the audience were fixed upon her, expressing admiration every now and then. But she yearned to know whether one particular pair of eyes belonged to him.
It was clear, however, that her hope was misplaced…
Qiao Xiaren listened with faint disinterest as Lin Sheng and Carly spoke on stage. Then, with graceful swiftness, she reached out to loop her arm around Si Limo’s.
The two leaned in and whispered to each other for a mont, their hushed conversation apparently involving sothing deeply amusing, as Qiao Xiaren soon couldn’t resist smiling quietly.
