Chapter 650: Chapter 640: Human Sentiments and Worldly Affairs, A Vast Amount of Information

Zhou Lingyue looked down and tugged at her dress’s hem, raised her smile and looked up, only to see all the cameras originally facing her side had swung to the other side.

Startled, she turned her head and when she saw who was walking over, she couldn’t help but smile with clenched teeth.

It’s Jiang Lingxi again!

Pinching her fingers, she decided to go all out and walked directly towards Jiang Lingxi.

Raise her hand, smile, greet: "Hi, we meet again. Want to take a picture together?"

Jiang Lingxi had already noticed her walking over from the moment she approached, just didn’t expect her to greet her so outright, and gave her a direct look without concealing it.

Her gaze indicating: Are you nuts?

When did they get so close that they would take pictures together?

Zhou Lingyue kept the smile plastered on her face, leaned slightly over, and whispered in Jiang Lingxi’s ear in the tiniest possible voice: "This is the red carpet of an international fashion event. We’re all from the Hua State, to these people outside, we’re just a unit. You wouldn’t deny me this little face, right?"

Listening to her veiled threat, Jiang Lingxi unhesitantly took a step back, then strode past her with big steps and continued forward, giving her reply through actions: No way!

Never in her past life or this life has she ever succumbed to any threats.

This time was no exception.

Zhou Lingyue almost couldn’t maintain her smile.

Coincidentally, a staff member came over urging her, saying she had stayed on the red carpet too long.

The livestream viewers noticed this and began discussing.

[Did Jiang Lingxi really refuse to take a photo with Zhou Lingyue?]

[That’s a bit rude, isn’t it? Zhou Lingyue is at least her senior and even took the initiative.]

[This was definitely somewhat of a lack in social graces.]

[Even if they’re not on good terms privately, in this scenario, they should at least put on a show.]

[Have you all forgotten? Since debuting, Jiang Lingxi has been known for being pampered and willful, and her lack of social grace has always been this way. Though she hasn’t been as pampered and willful over the past half year, have you ever seen her compromise herself in public?]

[Now that you mention it, true!]

[I wanted to say earlier, I just love this kind of personality. Who cares what’s polite or not, as long as I’m comfortable. Zhou Lingyue invited her for a photo, but the one invited has the right to refuse, right? If you don’t want to be in a photo, why force yourself for the sake of social graces?]

[I just don’t want to understand social graces. I just want to be a happy, willful little girl.]

[Count me in, even if I can’t achieve this in reality, seeing Jiang Lingxi do it, I feel quite satisfied.]

[Well, there we go, the next trending topic is set, #JiangLingxiLacksSocialGrace#]

...

Inside the venue.

Tong Yue and others had already arrived early, seated in the entourage section for guests.

A few of them crowded on the curved sofa, busy swiping their phones to watch the livestream.

Upon seeing Jiang Lingxi refusing to take a picture with Zhou Lingyue and striding off, they couldn’t help but exchange glances.

"What was Zhou Lingyue thinking, pulling Sister Xixi for a photo!"

"She definitely wanted to ride Sister Xixi’s wave, good thing Sister Xixi didn’t let her succeed."

"Sister Xixi did it beautifully, why give her face when they’re not even that close."

...

Tong Yue listened to their rampant praise and grievances, then glanced at the trending topics on her phone, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

When other celebrities trend, the headlines are: So-and-so looking stunning, So-and-so wearing haute couture by whomever, So-and-so’s condition and so on.

When her own artist trends.

#JiangLingxiOvertakesOnCurves#

#JiangLingxiLacksSocialGrace#

#JiangLingxiYouSlowDown!#

The style just takes a drastic turn.

Tong Yue: Exhausted!

Carl, besides being Jiang Lingxi and her assistant’s driver today, was also one of the invited guests.

As soon as he was seated in the arranged spot, he received a teasing look from Kevina sitting next to him.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Kevina teased, "How come young master Carl ended up being someone’s driver?"

Carl’s face changed instantly, "You saw that?"

Kevina pointed at her eyes, "Saw with both of them. Not to mention, you were quite professional as a driver, turning that supercar into a turtle."

Carl gritted his teeth, catching sight of the figure seated in the front row, he suddenly grinned, "If you want to be Miss Jiang’s driver, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance."

Kevina hesitated in her smile, "Who wants to?"

"Look at the one sitting down there."

Kevina followed his pointing finger and just caught the moment someone removed their mask, narrowing her eyes, "Is that... the assistant following Miss Jiang? How could he sit so close to the front?"

Carl smirked, raising an eyebrow proudly, "Guess!"

Not telling you!

Good bros are meant for mutual teasing and love-hate relationships!

Gu Qiantong was sitting with Aibosi Vini.

After sneaking glances ahead several times, Vini put down her phone and turned to look at her friend, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing, nothing."

Vini also looked forward.

Their seats provided a prime view, but there was still a row of special guest seats ahead.

This time, it’s Casuo’s show, so only people personally invited by Casuo himself could sit in the special guest seats ahead.

Someone was already seated in front of her.

Though she couldn’t see him from behind, his posture and sense of style made him stand out among all the men she had seen.

Hold on.

She suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Qiantong, could it be love at first sight?"

Gu Qiantong’s ears turned crimson.

Seeing her reaction, Vini’s eyes widened in surprise, covering her mouth with her hand, "Did I guess right?"

"Do you know who that is?"

Gu Qiantong was about to nod.

She was internally surprised as well, that Shen Yunqing managed to sit in the special guest seat, completely unexpected for her.

Could it be a predestined fate?

But when she caught a glimpse of the person walking in from the entrance, her once feverish excitement felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water.

Suddenly, she saw Jiang Lingxi walking over, getting closer and closer...

Finally stopping at the seat next to Shen Yunqing.

Vini, having noticed Jiang Lingxi upon entering the venue, was not much later than Gu Qiantong in spotting her.

To her, some people are born with the power to draw attention.

Miss Jiang was definitely one of them.

Seeing her getting closer, she was already preparing to greet her.

Just as she saw the man seated quietly in front of her suddenly lean over and skillfully adjust Miss Jiang’s dress’s hem.

It suddenly dawned on her they knew each other.

Jiang Lingxi sat down, and under the cover of her thick dress, her hand was held by Shen Yunqing.

The next moment, a string of warm Buddha Beads on her wrist was passed into her hand.

"Take it off when you go backstage."

"Okay."

Vini, seated behind and seeing the small gesture between the two: "..."

Instinctively looking towards Gu Qiantong, she saw her friend’s face still carrying an unmasked grimace, and quickly turned her eyes away.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath.

The amount of information received in these two minutes was overwhelming; she felt like her brain was about to burst!
