CHAPTER 620: CHAPTER 610: OUTRAGEOUS

Although Zhang Yao had caught something on Zeng Nan to make her help him, he couldn’t enter the special passage and the exclusive waiting lounge himself, so he could only watch Zeng Nan’s live stream in the regular waiting room.

At the very moment Jiang Lingxi appeared in the live stream, he almost shouted out loud.

Jiang Lingxi actually showed up!

He panicked for a moment, then hurriedly reassured himself that Jiang Lingxi must have piggybacked on someone else’s influence and the invitation was definitely forged!

But there were already differing voices in the live stream.

Some had started to question his post, and he quickly typed.

[Jiang Lingxi definitely piggybacked on someone else’s influence, she doesn’t have her own invitation!]

But as soon as the comment was posted, the live stream had already shifted the topic.

[The young lady has arrived!]

[The young lady has an air about her that’s 2.8 meters tall!]

[Ahhh, is this what it’s like for rich people to travel? I just counted the entourage, a full thirty people, with six bodyguards!]

[Abroad is different from home, especially someone like Miss Gu, bodyguards are a must.]

[This just outshines all the celebrities in the industry.]

[There’s no comparison, okay? The young lady represents capital, after all. See how the celebrities greet her when she passes by, who else gets that treatment!]

...

As they walked inside, it grew quieter and quieter.

Until she walked to the seat beside Jiang Lingxi, then her steps stopped abruptly.

The thirty-member team following naturally stopped as well.

"The buffet looks delicious."

"It’s probably free, right?"

"Anyway, there’s still time, should we go try it?"

Lu Zhengzheng was whispering to Fang Yao, coaxing her to join her for some food.

As she spoke, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, and instinctively turned her head, her mind froze.

When Miss Gu had walked over earlier, she naturally noticed, but there were two big shots sitting in front of her, so it didn’t feel as overwhelming as to others, and she quickly shifted her gaze away after a couple of glances.

What the hell, why did they stop here without moving?

And blocked the way completely, how is she going to get food!

"Miss Jiang, you came early!"

Jiang Lingxi leisurely sipped her tea and, after putting down the cup, responded with a cold tone, "Not really, just fifteen minutes earlier than you."

"Did you come by yourself, Miss Jiang?"

"Who else then?"

Gu Qiantong smiled, intended to continue walking, but couldn’t stop glancing at the person sitting beside Jiang Lingxi.

She had noticed this person as soon as she saw Jiang Lingxi; dressed like a bodyguard or assistant, but gave her a strange feeling.

Yes, the person hadn’t even spared her a single glance from beginning to end!

"Miss Jiang, is that your bodyguard, or assistant?"

Even as low-key as he was, Jiang Lingxi was helpless to be noticed, "My person, what’s it to you?"

Got nothing better to do, asking such detailed questions!

Gu Qiantong had a naturally bad temper, and being confronted so directly in front of everyone in the waiting lounge made her suppress her urge to probe, "Let’s go!"

They didn’t walk far since Jiang Lingxi’s spot was already quite inside, and added by Gu Qiantong’s large entourage, it filled up the inside seating area.

The nearest to Jiang Lingxi was only separated by a set of sofas.

Outside, there were many low discussions going on.

Zhou Lingyue was also filled with disbelief, while Jiang Kaiyuan was focused on gaming, but she had her manager and her team.

Unable to hold back, she turned to her manager and said, "Has Jiang Lingxi gone mad? How could she openly confront Miss Gu like that!"

But the manager was equally shocked and couldn’t answer her right away.

After locking eyes with her manager in surprise, they finally came to their senses: "Maybe she has some backing, if we run into her, let’s keep it courteous for now."

Zhou Lingyue showed reluctance, "I’m her senior in the industry!"

"Would you dare to confront Gu Qiantong like Jiang Lingxi just did?"

Zhou Lingyue fell silent immediately, a single move from her could earn billions, while even after years in entertainment, her savings didn’t match up.

What could she compare!

"But Jiang Lingxi she..."

How could she!

*

The live stream audience didn’t see the previous scenes, since Gu Qiantong’s bodyguard noticed someone filming discreetly and immediately intervened.

Zeng Nan was instantly intimidated.

Though her account name was Little Rich Nan, and she wasn’t short of money, the word "rich" there had its limits. Compared to the super-rich Gu Qiantong, she was nothing!

"Seems like Miss Gu values her privacy, I’ll show everyone other stars who haven’t arrived yet. As for that guy, he’s been gaming nonstop, so I didn’t bother him. I’ll try later when he’s done."

Gu Qiantong couldn’t care less about someone live streaming secretly in the waiting lounge. Her people would handle it without her needing to tell them.

Sitting down and taking the juice handed by her assistant, she couldn’t help but glance again toward Jiang Lingxi.

"Did you find out what’s going on?"

"The hosts just replied saying indeed some special invitations were sent separately, Jiang Lingxi’s should be one of those special invitations, but because key content was censored, they’re not entirely sure either."

"Just found out Jiang Lingxi came only with her team, no others, so I presume her invitation is genuine."

"Who would send her a special invitation?" Gu Qiantong felt frustrated, she herself hadn’t received one, but a minor celebrity like Jiang Lingxi did, "And that man sitting next to her..."

Cutting herself short, unsure of how to express that feeling.

It was just so off!

"Shall I go investigate?"

Gu Qiantong hesitated for a few seconds, but nodded.

Her curiosity simply couldn’t be contained, why was she suddenly so fixated on an assistant!

Investigating this was easy enough.

The Gu Family’s status was quite useful, after some communication, the assistant successfully got hold of Jiang Lingxi’s team list.

But when it was handed to their young lady, the assistant hesitated a little.

"Why, didn’t find anything?"

"No, it’s just... Miss, you’d better look for yourself."

Gu Qiantong took the tablet, her eyes skimmed past Jiang Lingxi’s name, then stopped right at the name printed below.

Shen Yunqing!

She couldn’t hold back, stood up from the sofa abruptly, and looked in disbelief at the person quietly sitting beside Jiang Lingxi.

Now it made sense where the dissonance came from!

The head of the Shen Family, quietly following Jiang Lingxi as an unnoticed assistant.

Could anything be more outrageous in this world?
