Chapter 256 - Princess Luana

"That's good…" Gu Ran Yi sighed a breath of relief.

"Don't tell anyone that I am back, and don't let anyone know that my cousin and I are still alive."

"Ok. I understand."

"What happened to your hair and your eyes?"

"To keep the fact that I am alive a secret," Mo Xi laughed.

"So, you are going to pretend to be a foreigner?"

"Yeap. Also, we will be staying at M & M Hotel for the time being," Mo Xi said.

"Okies. I will go arrange."

"Thanks."

"Ying Ying, later on, I will be going to little Ling and brother's engagement ceremony. You stay in the hotel with Xue Yue, alright?"

Yang Zhen Ying couldn't bear to leave Mo Xi. However, she understood that if she showed up with Mo Xi, other people would know that they were alive, and they would be in danger again.

"Mm. Okies."

Mo Xi brought Xue Yue and Yang Zhen Ying to M & M Hotel and swiftly dressed up before she left with the other people that she came with.

6.30 pm. Capital Hotel. Banquet Hall.

"Thank you all for coming today. As all of you know, we gathered here today for the engagement ceremony of Lu Jin Xiao and Jing Mo Ling. This engagement ceremony signifies the union of the Jing and Lu family."

Lu Jin Xiao and Jing Mo Ling were dressed up formerly as they sat together with the elders of the Jing and Lu family at the main table.

Lu Jin Xiao was dressed in a dark grey suit while Jing Mo Ling wore a long laced greyish blue dress.

The pair looked astonishing and amazing together that everyone couldn't help but gasped when they first saw them.

"It seems like the Jing family is trying to build up their power again by joining the two families."

"They invited a lot of companies and important people from different places."

"This just shows how influential they are and how powerful they still are."

"That's right. However, wouldn't they still be taken over by Heinrich Corporation?"

"Heinrich Corporation took over E's Corporation as well, and E's Corporation has shares of Jing Corporation too."

"Although E's Corporation accepted the offer from Heinrich Corporation, E's Corporation is still an independent company, unlike the others because they are way too powerful, just like Jing Corporation."

"That is the reason why they are still able to stand firm even after their stocks fluctuated so many times. Moreover, CEO Jing was well known to be able to bring Jing Corporation through any crisis, and the most important thing is that Jing Corporation and the Jing family were well known for their transparent work."

"That is the main reason why so many countries, companies, and officials like to work with them."

"I wonder who else they invited today. The event has yet to start officially, so it is possible that important people have yet to arrive."

…

7 pm. Outside Capital Hotel.

A black limousine stopped outside the entrance together with a few other black cars.

Men from the other cars alighted and opened the door of the limousine.

Mo Xi alighted the limousine and was escorted by other men.

Mo Xi was dressed in a dress that was simple but very much the royal-style and a few men guarded by her sides.

The door to the banquet hall opened, and everyone turned to look at Mo Xi.

"OMG! Who is she?"

"Looked at the number of people guarding her!"

"Is she someone from the government or what?"

"GOSH! Look at the badges that the bodyguards are wearing!"

"Those badges represent the royal family in Country N!"

"Only the royal family in country N would use something so extravagant on their people!"

"Is she the mysterious princess of Country N?!"

"I think she is!"

"Her name is Luana!"

…

Mo Xi heard whatever they were saying, and she really wanted to laugh because Ellington and Cayden hadn't adopted any child who they deemed to be fitting to be the successor yet.

Cayden was the King of Country N, and Ellington was the man that he loved. However, as the King of the country, Cayden had the responsibility of producing a successor. When he was of the right time to have a successor, he lied that he had a baby princess. They released news saying that Country N's Princess was called Luana without having any real successor. Hence, Mo Xi was borrowing that title from them until they find one.

Actually, Cayden wasn't precisely lying because he thought of letting Xue Yue, Mo Xi, or Valerie take over the throne from a long time ago.

However, none of them wanted it.

Xue Yue and Valerie knew that they didn't have the ability to rule the country. Hence, they rejected the offer.

On the other hand, Mo Xi, who was capable enough, had no interest in ruling another country. Hence, she too rejected. The only reason why she came as a princess today was to let Jing Mo Chen know that she was still alive and to get the mastermind to come out.

The fact that Mo Xi arrived at E's Corporation Private Airport meant that she was someone that E's Corporation knew, and the fact that she came to this engagement ceremony meant that she was someone the Jing and Lu family knew.

Mo Xi's appearance would make the mastermind excited and anxious because they would think that they would be able to garner Country N, Jing Corporation, and E's Corporation at the same time should they win her. Hence, the mastermind was bound to come out.

Ye Juan An, Yang Shu Ling, and the others looked up when the door opened, and when they looked at Mo Xi, they couldn't help but feel their hearts raced. None of them knew why they felt like hugging the lady that came into the place.

Jing Mo Chen looked up as well, and when he looked into Mo Xi's eyes, he knew that she was Mo Xi.
