Chapter 382: Gossips Bringer-I

After spending half an hour searching for Zhi Ling Ling and Nie An which in result they couldn't find any of them, Xiao Yun gathered back in the private room.

"If they are still not there, they are probably still in their house." said Xue Xiu Yong through his phone. "I'll go there." he suggested and the call ended.

Behind Xiao Yun, the assistant who was responsible for the models walked hesitantly and didn't know when he should speak until Xiao Yun turned her face at him.

"How many times we have left?" she asked, her eyes shifting from her phone to note the time and the assistant replied,

"Only half an hour left. The latest we could wait is an hour more but usually the models would have to arrive in half an hour."

There was only half an hour. Time was running out and they have to turn the cogs in their mind to find a solution which had Zi Gong and Xiao Yun to stay quiet in their place for a long time. Even if Xiao Yun request Chu Bing Luo, it would not be easy to have a new model to fill in Zhi Ling Ling's position. They needed time but the time they had now was scarce.

Meanwhile as Xiao Yun was wracking her brain to the problem and swallowing her confused mind to where her two friends could suddenly disappear, Qingge and Wang Shi Ning finally took a seat inside the hall. Just before they did, they grouped up with Wang Yongyi and Wang Yan Zhi who had come earlier before them.

"Xiao Yun Jie-jie is still in the backstage, should we wait for her?" came Wang Shi Ning's bright voice as she passed the corridor after taking a right turn from the corner.

Qingge hummed, thinking whether to agree or disagree and sent a curious study to see her grandparents' expression and it was clear that they say nothing for now. "I think we should enter first... It could help us from being separated from each other."

Wang Family was famous in their own term. When the four people group moved to the wide open space where many were standing to chat amongst each other, it was hard to miss or spot Wang Family with their eyes. Especially with the presence of Wang Qingge who everyone knows that she had divorced her husband and that the man was now in jail.

The socialites were not short with rumors. For them there would be never a talk where they wouldn't talk or bring an unknown person into their conversation. Both women and men, socialites of the high class and even people outside the group likewise participated that went around, creating the rumors to become large and at times, as the rumors travel, the story became defective. That was even more so if one was popular.

Qingge and Wang Shi Ning walked before their grandparents, and it was clear how the people instantly gave her a look before turning to whisper. Qingge didn't mind it in the surface but Wang Shi Ning was boiling to scold everyone to shut their mouth. But she knows that even if she tell people to stop gossiping now, they would continue later in a worse fashion.

"Elder Wang!" a voice came to greet. Wang Yan Zhi was the first one to turn her head as she often spoke to people, followed by Qingge and Wang Shi Ning. The one who had called them was an older woman in her forties, her hair was tied a high bun and she wore a clothes which was fancy that Wang Shi Ning could tell from which shop the woman had bought from, Azure.

Wang Yan Zhi greeted a smile, "Mrs. Zen. How are you? I hope you are fine." the woman continue to speak.

Being greeted back by Wang Yan Zhi had Mrs. Zen to smile widely. She had often greeted Wang Yan Zhi and at most of times where she greeted the older woman, Mrs, Zen made sure to have an opportunity where they could meet, knowing that there would be fortune if they were able to form a good relationship as acquaintances or even friends.

"I'm fine thank you. I haven't met Elder Wang for a very long time and have been very curious about your health." Wang Yan Zhi smiled at Mrs. Zen's concern. "That's right, this is my daughter, she heard my stories about you and she was very eager to meet the most elegant woman you are Elder Wang." Mrs. Zen took a step back to have her daughter take all the spotlight.

"It's a pleasure to meet you elder Wang. I'm Zen Quan I have heard nothing but praises and am glad to be able to meet you finally today." said the young woman, she was dressed in a glamorous champagne dress which Wang Shi Ning and Qingge had also noticed to must have been bought from the same shop her mother had bought her dress from, Azure.

"Like wise." replied Wang Yan Zhi and when Zen Quran greeted Qingge and Wang Shi Ning also returned politely with a smile.

Mrs. Zen quickly brought and held Zen Quan's hand, "My dear daughter here have just graduated from overseas, she is planning to take up a business like Ms. Lin. She have a good head on her shoulders so I'm sure she wouldn't fall shortcoming compared to Ms. Lin." the woman laughed.

"I can't find Ms. Lin, will she be attending the fashion show?" added Zen Quan, smiling as she called Ms. Lin but there was a sense of mocking in her words.

It was clear that the mother and daughter had come not only to greet Wang Yan Zhi and the rest of Wang Family. They had come to question, and also Mrs. Zen planned to have her daughter to be at the grace of Wang Family. It wasn't anything new, like any other parents in the socialites, Mrs. Zen wants her daughter to caught the interest of Wang Li Lei for the fortune it would bring to her family and the generations to come if her daughter could land a heart of the man.

It wasn't that the woman didn't know Wang Li Lei had been engaged. The news was put to the whole corner of the country. Unless one live in a peak of a mountain, they would know this news. But the woman thought it was only an engagement they haven't yet married and even if they do there was divorce. With Lin Chang Lu, the woman who was known to be the best amongst her class was rejected, many was confident they would also be able to fill in the position of Wang Li Lei's fiancée as long as they know his preference.

Not only Mrs. Zen who thought this but her daughter and many other parents outside also thought the same.

"We don't know, we didn't come along with Chang Lu. She have her company today, she must be busy for the preparations." replied Wang Yan Zhi, there was a protecting stance she held on her voice as she replied.

"Is that so? After what happened, I'm deeply concerned about her." Zen Quan continued. Qingge and Wang Shi Ning wasn't exactly pleased with the conversation they directed to. "I heard that these days, Golden Tree is facing financial problem, I hope, Ms. Lin would be able to find a better solution for the betterment of her company. It would be a pity if her company would be ruined just because of a small scandal she was not able to clear."

Mrs. Zen laughed, "This is why one have to work clean to avoid from staining themselves." And they laughed some fakes the pleasure to also laugh. After a couple of laughter did they notice how Wang Family wasn't laughing and the woman was flustered. She cleared her throat and asked, "Elder Wang, have everyone gathered here now? I mean, I don't see Mr. Wang and his fiancée." the woman emphasized her tone at the word fiancée as she spoke. By doing this people who acted like they hadn't heard anything, now have all attention to fall on the group. "Since there were no chance to meet here I'm very looking forward to meet her. I heard her name was Yu Xiao Yun? She must be a very excellent lady."
