CHAPTER 625: CHAPTER 615: INTERNATIONAL FASHION TOWN, AIBOSI MANOR

Tong Yue stepped forward to negotiate.

Pretending not to notice the cold gaze from the Gu family’s eldest daughter, she directly handed the well-preserved invitation to the security guard blocking the car door, "We didn’t arrive late, did we?"

The watch scanned the special code on the invitation and emitted a pleasant mechanical female voice: "Validated!"

The security guard’s stern expression relaxed a bit, and after glancing at the information on the watch, he stepped aside in front of the car door with a gesture inviting them in, "Miss Jiang, please get in the car."

Gu Qiantong stood motionless in place, her face burning painfully, her hand hanging by her side clenched into a fist, veins visible on the back of her hand.

Tong Yue gritted her teeth upon seeing this, it was obvious they were not being given any face, so what exactly was going on here?

Her own artist had no reason to offend such a wealthy young lady!

No explanation had been given before!

"Miss Gu, you see..."

Gu Qiantong suddenly turned her head to look at Tong Yue, she couldn’t hold back any longer from exploding!

With a cold laugh, "Who do you think you are..."

Before she could finish saying the word "thing," Jiang Lingxi interrupted her with a chilling tone, "If your mouth can’t speak, just shut it!"

As soon as the words fell, several gasps of breath could be heard from all around.

Tong Yue felt both touched and helpless, there really was no need to offend this young lady for her sake.

But Jiang Lingxi not only spoke, she acted.

She walked straight up to Gu Qiantong, "Move aside, didn’t you understand?"

Gu Qiantong’s eyes turned red instantly, mostly out of rage, mixed with a bit of disbelief.

In broad daylight, she didn’t expect Jiang Lingxi would actually dare to speak to her like this!

Wouldn’t a normal person politely make way for her to take this car?

Her gaze fell on Shen Yunqing, who was standing behind Jiang Lingxi.

She waited for a while but didn’t hear him say a word.

Was it so hard to give her an out?

"Why isn’t the queue moving? Don’t worry, everyone, let’s wander around some more, the information says the car picking us up will still take a while to arrive."

The camera swept past the end of the red carpet, although it moved away quickly, sharp-eyed viewers still saw the most conspicuous figures among them.

[It seems to be Jiang Lingxi with Miss Gu, and that tall handsome guy in the black mask, are the three of them acquainted?]

[As expected, all the good-looking people are gathered together, wait, did Jiang Lingxi get into the fashion event by riding on Miss Gu’s coattails?]

[It really is possible, with Miss Gu’s status, bringing someone along is no pressure at all.]

[I thought Jiang Lingxi actually had an invitation, turns out she just tagged along with Miss Gu.]

But among the presumed discussions, someone realized the atmosphere seemed a bit off.

[Am I the only one who feels a bit tense between Jiang Lingxi and Miss Gu?]

[I was just about to say, I almost got led astray by those previous comments.]

[What standing does Jiang Lingxi have to rival Miss Gu?]

[Can the camera pan that way a bit more, let us see which speculation is right.]

"Miss," finally, it was the assistant standing next to Gu Qiantong who provided a way out, speaking softly, "Our car has arrived."

Gu Qiantong instinctively moved her gaze over, and indeed saw a similar large business vehicle had stopped, blocked by a car in front, with security getting out of the car walking over.

Before the other party could inquire about the situation, she bit her lip and spoke up loudly: "We’re leaving!"

As soon as she took a step forward, she heard Jiang Lingxi’s voice behind her: "Yunqing, Tong Jie, let’s get in the car."

Shen Yunqing: "You get in first, I’ll organize your luggage, it’ll be easier to collect it later."

"Be careful not to crush your hand."

"Hmm."

Gu Qiantong’s shoulders couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

The assistant walking alongside quickly lowered her head, pretending not to notice, but in her heart, she was silently groaning.

She had thought she pleased the young lady this time, putting in a lot of effort to outshine another life assistant, to come and enjoy a trip with the young lady at the International Fashion Town.

But now she could confirm it, meeting Jiang Lingxi and that Mr. Shen at the airport lounge was the beginning of her misfortune as a personal assistant.

Couldn’t they just have a good time here? Why get involved with those two and find trouble for herself?

But she only dared to think this in her heart, even in her dreams she wouldn’t dare let it slip from her mouth.

The business vehicle had a lot of space, even with six people inside there was still room to spare.

The driver and a security guard occupied the driver and front passenger seats, each car equipped with one, and after the vehicle started moving, a partition rose between the front space and the rear passenger cabin, providing ample privacy.

Tong Yue took out drinks from the small refrigerator in the car and handed them out to everyone, pausing a little when she handed it to Jiang Lingxi as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

But before she could muster the courage to ask, Lu Zhengzheng broke the slightly silent atmosphere in the cabin first.

"Sister Tong, Sister Tong, I heard that the International Fashion Town we’re going to later was built less than a hundred years ago, is that true?"

Tong Yue gave her a helpless look, and seeing Jiang Lingxi seemed a bit interested and not wanting to talk more about the previous events, she nodded and felt it her duty to explain: "The International Fashion Town was originally a barren island located at the border of two countries, not connected by land, the road we’re on now was later filled in by force."

Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao gave a cooperative "wow" at once.

Tong Yue took a sip of water and continued: "Mr. Aibosi, who hosted the first International Fashion Gala, first bought the ownership of this barren island, then spent all his assets, spending nearly thirty years to build this fashion city. It’s actually been called a ’town’ habitually, but it’s not smaller in area than a city. Its economic pillars are the fashion industry and tourism, and any international renowned brand takes pride in setting up in Fashion City."

"This city has brought immeasurable wealth to Mr. Aibosi’s descendants. The largest, most famous, and wealthiest family here is the Aibosi family." After saying this, Tong Yue paused and looked at Jiang Lingxi, "And, Old Master Casuo’s wife is a direct member of the Aibosi family."

She guessed Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t think to inquire about these things, so she dug into the information herself and gave her artist a heads-up.

Jiang Lingxi: "Hmm."

Tong Yue: "..."

Isn’t that reaction a bit too calm?

Anyway, if they’re lucky enough to meet Mrs. Aibosi, that’s their gain, if not, it’s no loss.

Moreover, gaining Old Master Casuo’s favor is unexpected luck, one must learn to be content.

After silently comforting herself a bit, Tong Yue dismissed those overly impractical fantasies from her mind, "The last time I came here was almost ten years ago, back then I was just an assistant pulled in temporarily. We were arranged to stay at Qinghai City on the outskirts of the town, by the seaside, I remember the scenery was quite nice, you could see the sea from the room. I just don’t know if we’ll be arranged there again this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiaoxiao pointing out the window, "I see it, is that it?"

Tong Yue instinctively followed her gaze, seeing that familiar building and nodding, "Yes, I still have a photo, using this as the background."

Saying this, she saw that the speeding vehicle showed no sign of slowing down, zooming past Qinghai City’s gates and continuing forward.
