Rong Qi scoffed, “So what’s the point of you chattering away here?”

Gu Ziye choked on his words, staring at Rong Qi, unable to say anything for a moment.

He Jinghan, who had been standing behind Rong Qi, finally felt a bit more comfortable. He stood up and looked at Gu Ziye with a frown, explaining, “Mr. Gu, you’ve misunderstood. Rong Qi and I are merely cla.s.smates. She’s a girl and not a slandered person.”

Having said that, He Jinghan glanced at Rong Qi’s face. Under the light, her cool and fair face looked exceptionally captivating. For a brief moment, he was mesmerized, but he quickly regained his composure.

He Jinghan bowed slightly toward Gu Ziye and continued, “I’m not feeling well, so I’ll take my leave. I was having an episode earlier, and Rong Qi was just helping me. I hope you’ll be sensible, Mr. Gu.”

With that, He Jinghan walked away without looking back. His att.i.tude was so straightforward that even Gu Ziye, who was looking for faults, was left speechless.

This kind of unpretentious honesty made Gu Ziye feel petty and small. He felt like his character had been insulted. Compared to He Jinghan, he felt incredibly inferior, as if he was nothing more than a troublemaker.

But the problem was, Gu Ziye really couldn’t stand Rong Qi. He looked up again, his eyes cold as they met Rong Qi’s. Just as he was about to speak, Rong Qi gave him a mischievous smile. She walked over to him and whispered, “Hush, keep it down. If any rumors about me spread, your sister will be dragged down with me.”

After saying that, Rong Qi walked away in high spirits, leaving Gu Ziye fuming on the spot.

The banquet was set to begin at 7:30 p.m. In just half an hour, the number of distinguished guests had steadily increased. The hall designated for receiving guests was already bustling with noise. It seemed the banquet had begun.

Lifting her dress, Rong Qi started walking toward the main hall.

Meanwhile, in the bustling hall, Gu Yuyan, as the heiress of the Gu family and a distinguished socialite, was undoubtedly the belle of the ball.

“Miss Gu, you’re wearing this season’s latest from Qiyan Studio, right? You look stunning.”

“Indeed. I heard even big stars can’t borrow dresses from Qiyan Studio. It’s amazing that Miss Gu could wear their latest design. I’m so envious.”

In the circle of the rich and powerful, besides comparing family backgrounds and husbands, high-end dresses like these were another form of social currency. Qiyan Studio’s dresses were known for their rarity and unique design. So many people were in line just to pre-order them, but here was Gu Yuyan, wearing their latest creation, naturally evoking envy from the wealthy socialites.

Pleased with the compliments, Gu Yuyan stood gracefully next to the head of the Gu family. She lifted her chin slightly, her face adorned with a smile that was both proud and feigned humility. “I’m just lucky to know someone who knows Qiyan Studio, so I got the first pick. Everyone’s dresses are beautiful. Next time Qiyan Studio releases new dresses, I’ll definitely let you all know.”

Gu Yuyan knew how to charm her way through social events, and she had these people eating out of her hand. Without showing much emotion, Gu Yuyan’s gaze shifted back to Ye Nanshen. Even when seated, Ye Nanshen exuded a formidable aura.

Gu Yuyan walked over and sat down on the sofa next to Ye Nanshen, handing him a gla.s.s of wine. She said, “Nanshen, cheers. I’m sure our collaboration with Qiyan Studio will be a fruitful one.”

Ye Nanshen took the gla.s.s and nodded, downing it in one go. Though his face remained expressionless, his mere presence was enough to stir envy among the high-society women in the room. After all, Ye Nanshen was a man who held the economic reins of the entire Leucia. A single word from him could shake the political landscape of the capital..
