The royal ball was bustling with people of all kinds.
Amongst them, Ye Yiwen was tall and wore a black evening gown, revealing her perfect figure. She had also received an invitation from the Citic Group. The invitation letter was distributed randomly, and the company would not decline the invitation just because of their relationship with each other.
When Ye Yiwen received the invitation letter, she was initially shocked.
She knew that the people she sent out had failed and did not kidnap Xia Yu successfully. Furthermore, they were sent to the police station the next day.
Ye Yiwen was terrified, the current Xia Yu was no longer able to see through her, she was no longer the same woman who was being kneaded by others.
Ye Yiwen walked over, picked up a cocktail, and slightly lowered her eyes.
She was here to watch a good show, so most of the people present did not know that the owner of the Citic Group, Qian Jin, was Xia Yu. The woman who created all this news, and she was even Gong Qin's ex-wife.
She wanted to know what the crowd's reaction would be when they found out about this matter. She wanted to know if they would turn their backs on her or insult her …
Ye Yiwen raised her eyes, suddenly she saw a slender figure dressed in a suit, with a handsome appearance, just standing there calmly was enough to attract people's attention. Ye Yiwen's pupils shrank, why would Gong Qin come here?
She had thought that there would be a lot of people participating in the ball this time, but she never expected that Gong Qin would also be here.
Just the relationship between the Gong Jia and the Zong Clan was enough to show that the two families would not come into contact at all. He never thought that Gong Qin would appear here, could it be because of Xia Yu? Gong Qin also heard the news that Xia Yu had returned, so he came here to see her? When the thought came out, he could not stop it, Ye Yiwen secretly held onto the cup tightly, feeling nervous.
"After so many years, can it be that you still haven't forgotten about it..." She spoke to herself.
The moment Gong Qin's figure appeared, many people looked at him in shock. They did not expect that the young master of the Gong Jia would be interested in this ball of wine as well. In the five years since his divorce, there had been many people who had tried to rope him in. Some of the more beautiful young women had tried to get close to him, but they were all coldly refused.
His indifference wouldn't be moved by anyone.
The outside world had heard that Gong Qin could not let go of his ex-wife, which was why he was so cold. However, that woman had already disappeared for a long time and did not reveal her face at all. Obviously, she had forgotten about Gong Qin. Seeing Gong Qin's infatuated look, the woman felt even worse.
"I never thought that Mr. Gong would also come here …"
"People who had met Gong Qin a few times gathered around him and clinked their cups with him, revealing smiles on their faces. Could it be that Mr. Gong is also curious about the talent of the group's boss? "
"I'm curious."
Gong Qin did not refute him and nodded his head with an indifferent expression.
His expression was unreadable, and it was unknown what he was thinking under those pitch-black eyes.
"A person that can attract the attention of Mr. Gong is most likely not an ordinary person. He might be a peerless beauty." The man mumbled to himself, smiled, and drained his wine cup in one gulp.
The party had already reached its opening hours, and the atmosphere became lively.
At this moment, the lights in the hall suddenly turned off, leaving only the faint light around them to illuminate the entire place.
"Now, let me introduce the young talents of the trust companies who have taken up the position of investment manager..."
The light fell on the entrance and a figure walked out. She was dressed in an ornate and tight-fitting formal attire. There seemed to be nothing spectacular about her, but as she walked forward, she looked extremely radiant and glimmered in the light. This light shone onto her, causing her skin to be like snow, and her hair to be tied up in a high bun, making her appear even more graceful.
Xia Yu walked out step by step, and everyone's gaze landed on her.
She was an arrogant and delicate beauty who did not allow anyone to get close to her easily. Some people did not even notice that she was the woman who stood beside Gong Qin at that time. At that time, she was buried by someone, had no status, no impressive education, and by Gong Qin's side, she could only receive an impotent name. There were even some who felt that she had used an inappropriate method to seduce Gong Qin.
"Wow …" Some people could not help but sigh.
As expected of a great treasure, it was so splendid.
Gong Qin's gaze fell on Xia Yu's face. After such a long time, he thought that he would forget about her face, but every time he was quiet and closed his eyes, all that appeared in his mind was her appearance.
Now that they had met in such an opposing identity, Gong Qin couldn't help but clench his hands tightly, and his knuckles turned white.
Xia Yu...
"Mister Zong only found your long-lost daughter a few years ago, and now the Miss Xia has inherited the Citic Group." Xia Yu walked up and all the lights suddenly lit up.
She looked around and smiled, then said: "I am Xia Yu, the investment manager of Citic Group."
It was a simple introduction, but no one knew who started it, but they all applauded.
But some people came to their senses and carefully read Xia Yu's name, feeling that this name was a little familiar.
"Xia Yu? "Could it be..."
The man looked at Gong Qin, but Gong Qin's expression was still calm. His gaze never left Xia Yu's body, and never moved away. Could Xia Yu be your ex-wife? " Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the rest of the people all came to their senses.
Those who heard of this news all remembered.
When he looked at Xia Yu carefully again, he remembered her appearance. She's actually that Xia Yu? She wasn't of the Xia Family's bloodline, she was … Zong Shuyuan's daughter? "
… ….
"I hope everyone has a good time." Xia Yu looked around, and when her gaze landed on Ye Yiwen's body, a cold light flashed past her eyes.
When he shifted his gaze, he caught sight of Gong Qin from the corner of his eyes.
Her pupils shrunk, as though she was unable to control her expression and she stared blankly at Gong Qin.
Gong Qin also looked over, and when their eyes met, it was hard to put into words. Gong Qin...? " Her eyes were filled with astonishment, he had never thought that Gong Qin would appear here.
"Miss Xia?"
Yu Manager opened his mouth and reminded him. Now that Xia Yu was like this, he had lost his composure.
Xia Yu walked down the stage, picked up a cocktail, and drank it to calm herself down.
So what if they met each other, she had already made preparations to come back here. She and Gong Qin no longer had anything to do with each other, they had already divorced. Thinking about this, Xia Yu calmed down.
Gong Qin walked towards her position step by step, and Xia Yu subconsciously moved her feet away.
"Xia Yu."
Gong Qin immediately called out to her to stop. That way, even if she wanted to leave, she wouldn't be able to.
Xia Yu turned around and smiled at him: "Long time no see, ex-husband." The word ex-husband actually came out so smoothly, Gong Qin subconsciously frowned after hearing it.
"It's been a long time."
The surrounding people went into an uproar. Witnessing this historic moment, the gossip in his heart began to boil.
"Let's talk somewhere else?" Gong Qin saw that there were too many people around and couldn't help but to ask.
