Chapter 291: Chapter 291 - It was Set Up Long Ago
“Keane, I am so glad you could come,” Faye’s father liked Qi Jun . He greeted Qi Jun warmly .
So Qi Jun’s English name is Keane . This was the first time Yun Xiangxiang had heard of it .
“Mr . Cardicra, let me introduce you to someone . She’s my partner for the evening . ” Qi Jun was close to Faye’s father . “Yun . ”
Faye looked at Yun Xiangxiang . “I might be wrong, but I think I have seen this gorgeous lady before . ”
“On TV, maybe . Yun’s a Chinese actress,” Qi Jun continued amicably .
“Ah, I remember now . When Amber bought a sports car, I saw this lovely lady’s picture,” Faye’s father finally remembered .
Mr . Cardicra might be referring to the car she endorsed with Lu Jin back in Milan . Her photo was probably in the things given along with the sale .
Her photo was probably on the brochure . Yun Xiangxiang didn’t expect this coincidence to happen though .
“Hello, Mr . Eric, it is an honor to meet you,” Yun Xiangxiang greeted politely .
“Hello, lovely lady,” Eric was a gentleman . He introduced his daughter to Yun Xiangxiang . “This is my daughter, Faye . She knows how to speak Mandarin . And she loves China very much . ”
“Miss Yun, it’s a pleasure,” Faye extended her hand . She communicated in Mandarin, using Chinese customs .
“The pleasure is all mine, Miss Faye,” Yun Xiangxiang made a polite dead fish handshake .
“Faye, entertain your guests,” Eric reminded Faye and went to entertain other guests .
“Do please come with me,” Faye beckoned Qi Jun and Yun Xiangxiang .
Faye was in a black evening gown . Her brown, wavy hair was tied up in a bun and held in place with a hairclip embedded with diamonds . She wore earrings and necklaces that belonged to the same series as the hair clip .
Faye led them to another huge room . Everyone in there was under thirty . They formed groups and chatted with their friends . As the door was heavy, it made a huge noise as it was opened . Every time it did, everyone would be attracted to the door .
“Yun!” Wilson did not expect to see Yun Xiangxiang here . He trotted over .
When Yun Xiangxiang saw him, she reflexively looked for that girl . Fortunately, Doris wasn’t here .
She didn’t want to run into another problem when she wasn’t done with Faye . Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t that powerful .
“You guys know each other?” Faye didn’t expect Yun Xiangxiang to know Wilson .
“We met once,” Yun Xiangxiang replied flatly .
“Yun, I did not manage to get your number last time, nor did I find your social media account,” Wilson was overly friendly . “Can I have your number?”
“Hey, kid . What am I? Invisible?” Qi Jun interjected . He looked at Wilson dangerously .
Yun Xiangxiang didn’t want to exchange numbers with Wilson . They were not in the same circle of friends, and they lived in two different countries .
“Hello, Keane . ” Wilson immediately greeted Qi Jun . They seemed to know each other .
“Since everyone knows everyone, I don’t think any introduction is needed . Do please help me entertain Miss Yun and Keane, Wilson,” Faye smiled at Wilson . They shared an amicable relationship; it seemed . Faye wouldn’t have Wilson help otherwise .
“It’s an honor to serve you,” Wilson smiled at Faye before bringing Yun Xiangxiang and Qi Jun away .
After what happened last time, Wilson didn’t bring them to his friends . Instead, he brought them to a quiet spot that was close to the food .
Faye greeted some people before leaving the room and entertaining the guests out there .
“Your number, Yun . Your number,” Wilson insisted .
Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t keep on refusing, so she told Wilson her number .
None of them brought their phones . Wilson would probably forget it .
Wilson didn’t think so . He mumbled the number before looking at Qi Jun . “Where’s King? I thought you’re a couple . ”
Wilson thought Yun Xiangxiang was Song Mian’s girlfriend . But now that he saw her with Qi Jun, he wasn’t sure . He did think Yun Xiangxiang was close to Song Mian though .
“You aren’t wrong . King and I are a couple . He and Keane are best friends . I just so happen to be filming in Paris, so Keane brought me here to see some new things,” Yun Xiangxiang explained .
“You’re filming here? What’s the film called? I watched “The King’s Wisdom” before . You were gorgeous,” Wilson praised sincerely .
“The King’s Plan” was localized into “The King’s Wisdom” for overseas audiences .
“Can you understand it?” Yun Xiangxiang was curious . The film talked about China’s history, which could be hard to understand for foreigners .
“I can understand the plot,” Wilson nodded . “The strong nations controlled the weaker ones, and the king of that nation snatched the prettiest lady away to make into his wife . ”
Yun Xiangxiang pursed her lips in amusement as she listened to Wilson’s explanation . He wasn’t wrong in his interpretation, but for some reason, it was funny .
When they started to get along, Yun Xiangxiang found out that Wilson was a cheerful and humorous guy . And he was an understanding person . They talked about nothing aside from films .
Wilson talked about his favorite genre and styles he admired, but he also spoke about his understanding of films in general .
Qi Jun joined in the chat . The trio talked about films . After ten-odd minutes, two foreign ladies came in .
“Those Chinese girls are rude . They soiled Kelly’s dress and refused to admit it . ”
“How could Faye let these peasants in? And it’s her birthday, no less!”
“Kelly dress is designed by Mr . Findlay . It’s one of a kind . And now it’s ruined . It’s quite annoying . ”
Yun Xiangxiang had a bad feeling as she listened to the conversation . She looked at Qi Jun, “Last night, Mengmeng and Xiangling told me that their bakery received two hefty orders . They sent one to some wealthy guy’s home yesterday, and they’ll be sending it to the same place today . ”
Qi Jun frowned . He took Yun Xiangxiang’s hand and went outside . They went past the garden and saw Li Xiangling and Song Meng standing outside .
The castle’s servants surrounded them . Song Meng was red with fury . Li Xiangling was trying to calm her down .
The crowd was whispering about them . They talked in French . Li Xiangling and Song Meng couldn’t understand a word, but Yun Xiangxiang did .
She didn’t want to listen too much . None of the whispers were good . Yun Xiangxiang’s face darkened . Faye could come for her if she wanted to find trouble . Touching her friends was crossing the line .
Li Xiangling and Song Meng’s faces changed when they saw Yun Xiangxiang .
They were both dressed in their work uniforms, looking quite shabby .
They were in the same place, and yet Yun Xiangxiang was wearing a gorgeous evening gown, looking as delicate as a fairy, while they looked like trolls .
For a moment there, Song Meng wanted to run away in embarrassment . When her gaze met Yun Xiangxiang’s, Song Meng averted it immediately .
Li Xiangling shook her head imperceptibly, telling Yun Xiangxiang not to come here . She was sharper than Song Meng . Li Xiangling knew what was going on .
These couple of unusually hefty orders were traps laid for Yun Xiangxiang .
Faye wanted to humiliate Yun Xiangxiang publicly .
