Chapter 601: Chapter 591: Malicious Intentions

The busiest people right now have to be the staff responsible for the livestream.

Not only do they have to capture the entire banquet with the glamor and extravagance of a movie, but they also have to occasionally respond to viewers’ requests to livestream and focus on the rivalry, hidden tensions, and backstabbing occurring at the banquet.

[Zhou Lingyue and Tan Yumo collaborated on a movie before, didn’t they promote their "good sister" relationship? But I’ve been watching them for a while, and they haven’t said a word to each other. Is it really a "good sister" relationship?]

[It’s all just marketing, anyone who believes it is a fool!]

[Jiang Kaiyuan really is naturally sociable. He’s already gotten chummy with the young master of the Xie Family. You can’t help but be impressed by his connections.]

[He seems to be a rich second generation himself. He may not be on par with the young masters of those big families, but he should have no lack of common topics.]

[Xu Yin seems a bit lonely, drinking alone at her seat, not socializing, and no one is approaching her.]

[That’s just her personality, she’s pretty indifferent to everyone. The only person she gets along with, the Actress, didn’t turn up this time. As long as she feels comfortable, it’s none of our business!]

[Quick, quick, move the camera, shift it to Jiang Lingxi. She glanced at her phone and her entire demeanor changed. Quickly, see where she’s going, it feels like something big is about to happen.]

Several comments in a row mentioned Jiang Lingxi, so the camera obediently focused on her.

And what do you know, it’s true!

[The way she walks, I feel like she’s going to battle!]

[Where is she heading?]

[That direction seems like the super VIP seats, the young lady was spotted there earlier.]

[I have a bold guess.]

[Don’t say it, I have one too...]

Cao Xinyan put down her hair dryer with a grim face.

She had delicate features, and she specially had the stylist borrow a white haute couture gown for her.

It looked beautiful, but if it accidentally got stained by drinks, water could only do so much to clean it.

Seeing the direction Jiang Lingxi was headed in the livestream, she was most likely going to find Mr. Shen.

When they meet, there won’t be any opportunities left for her.

After cursing Zhang Lingxuan again in her mind, she gritted her teeth, "Regardless!"

The lighting in the venue was a bit dim, and you probably couldn’t see much without getting close.

With that thought, she took off running outside.

[Almost there, almost there!]

[The mystery is about to be unveiled.]

Jiang Lingxi, who was walking on camera, suddenly paused.

She then looked up, directly at the camera.

She suddenly gave a faint smile.

The comment section went quiet.

[That smile is quite pretty, but why do I feel a chill in my spine?]

[Uh, I’m glad I’m not the only one feeling this way.]

[From that look and that smile, I got this: "Stare again, and I’ll kill you without mercy!"]

[Haha, well concluded by the one above.]

...

The camera, after a moment of hesitation, obediently and sheepishly moved away!

Unable to see that tall black silhouette, the staff and viewers in the livestream let out a sigh of relief.

Jiang Lingxi continued walking forward.

The photo she received earlier was obviously secretly taken by Xu Ling’an.

Fortunately, the ones in the photo were not others but Shen Yunqing and the Gu Family’s young lady who spent a fortune on the jade pendant and the red sandalwood chair.

She thought this young lady just simply liked antiques, until she saw the posture and gaze of the person standing in front of Shen Yunqing. Clearly, there was more to it than just a liking for antiques.

Earlier she was in a hurry and didn’t have time to completely smooth things over. Now is the time to act.

However, coaxing someone is not something she is accustomed to doing under the watchful eyes of thousands in the livestream.

She could only first ask the camera to leave.

Gu Qiantong, although faced with a difficult obstacle, her pride would not let her retreat so easily. She tried to compose herself before attempting again to breach the other’s defense.

"If parting with the red sandalwood chair isn’t really a sacrifice, I’ve long heard from the elders that the Shen Family in the Imperial City is among the most long-standing. Now it truly seems to live up to its reputation. I’ve always been fond of various antiques since childhood. I wonder if I could have the honor to admire some of Mr. Shen’s other collections?"

This time, Shen Yunqing finally lifted his gaze towards the person in front of him.

But before Gu Qiantong could feel a bit pleased, she met a pair of cold and piercing eyes.

The words she was about to speak instantly felt frozen in her mouth.

Did she say something wrong again?

Until another clear and firm voice sounded from the side, "If it’s not a sacrifice, it means I didn’t like the pattern on that red sandalwood chair. Keeping it at home was just taking up space, so why not sell it to someone who likes it, do some charity as well, and it’s a win-win. Does Miss Gu understand this meaning?"

Gu Qiantong snapped her head to look at the newcomer, and her pupils immediately shrank.

Although she knew about Jiang Lingxi, she never considered this person seriously until she saw her in person.

After all, she was just a small celebrity in the entertainment industry, no matter how good her looks and figure were, she remained a plaything in the eyes of people like her.

No need for her to take action personally; a simple command from her could settle things.

She never thought Shen Yunqing would truly marry someone like this.

There was no benefit to it, fun maybe, but marriage was unnecessary.

Only someone like her would be the best marriage candidate.

Admittedly, before coming here, she didn’t have many thoughts about the suitable marriage partner her grandfather had chosen for her, but seeing him in person, especially with that stance of keeping her at arm’s length, stirred her unwilling-to-lose spirit.

Conquering such a man is much more interesting than those who come running at a beckoning.

She almost forgot Jiang Lingxi was a stumbling block.

No, a stumbling block was how she viewed Jiang Lingxi before they met.

Now, standing face to face, her aura cultivated from two decades of privileged life compelled her to almost step back involuntarily.

This wasn’t just a stumbling block; this was a roadblock!

Gu Qiantong managed to squeeze out a smile, "You must be Miss Jiang?"

"Playing dumb. Is this how Miss Gu learned her manners, knowing she’s not welcome and still refusing to leave?"

When Jiang Lingxi approached and confronted Gu Qiantong, Shen Yunqing quietly moved further inside.

As she lowered her gaze towards him, he quickly said, "You’re here, sit. I just made some tea."

Jiang Lingxi smoothed her dress and sat down, casually tossing a handmade Luban lock that she had impulsively bought at the charity auction into his lap, "I couldn’t solve it."

Shen Yunqing handed over a teacup, "Let me give it a try."

Jiang Lingxi took a sip of tea and, seeing Gu Qiantong still standing across from them, said, "Leave!"

Gu Qiantong looked at Shen Yunqing intently studying the Luban lock, then at Jiang Lingxi calmly sipping tea. After a moment of twisted expression, she turned and left briskly.

No one could endure such humiliation.

Jiang Lingxi, well done!

The three Yuan brothers secretly observing: "..."

"Ahem, so, should we still go find Miss Gu for a chat?"

"If you want to go, you go."

"I’m not that dumb."

Only those lacking brains would willingly walk into the line of fire!

Jiang Lingxi, watching the angry retreat of Gu Qiantong, squinted her eyes and turned to look at the person beside her seriously working on the Luban lock, "Who exactly is this Gu Qiantong?"

Facing her just now, she didn’t believe this person’s motive was simply an interest in Shen Yunqing.

Shen Yunqing: "No good intentions."

Not towards him, nor towards the Shen Family.
