"Let's go with this and this." She picked out a light blue dress decorated with white clouds and an emerald necklace.
"Miss Xia has a good eye." May praised, and then turned around and ordered: "Help Miss Xia change into a dress and put on some makeup."
"Okay. Miss Xia, please."
… …
By the time Xia Xingchen had packed up everything, it was already past 5 o'clock, and they had to enter early. May arranged a car to take her to the banquet. She took the invitation letter and passed through one gate after another, and was finally led into the side hall.
At this moment, there were already many translators in the side hall. Everyone was familiar with her and greeted her. Everyone's eyes lingered on her, mixed with various emotions. Xia Xingchen pretended not to notice and lowered her head to do her own thing. She had actually picked the most low-key one among those dresses and gems...
As 7 o'clock approached, guests gradually came in. All the translators had arrived at their work stations, but the deputy minister who was in contact with her had not arrived yet. She took her phone out of her handbag and checked the time. It would be 7 o'clock in 10 minutes.
"Miss Xia." Just as he was thinking, an elegant female voice sounded behind him. Xia Xingchen turned around and recognized her as the deputy minister's female secretary. She smiled and said, "Has the deputy minister arrived?"
"Yes, I just arrived. However, the deputy minister brought a female companion who is proficient in seven languages today, so Miss Xia doesn't have to be busy for the time being."
"Ah." Xia Xingchen was embarrassed. With someone who was proficient in seven languages around her, it was indeed not her turn to do anything. "Does that mean I can go back now?"
"Of course not. I hope you can stay tonight in case there are any accidents. It would be bad if our deputy minister could not find an interpreter at that time."
What she said made sense. Xia Xingchen nodded, "Okay, then I'll be waiting for the call at any time."
"Tonight's dinner will be grand, and I think Miss Xia won't be bored if she stays." The secretary smiled elegantly, and as she turned around, she added sincerely, "Miss Xia, you look beautiful tonight. You must be the most beautiful person in the venue tonight."
Xia Xingchen smiled slightly, "Thank you."
… …
Gradually, more and more guests came. Xia Xingchen stood in a corner holding a glass of juice, but she could still feel a lot of attention on her. Some people were whispering and speculating about her identity, and some were envious of the dress and gems she was wearing.
Bai Yeqing’s work is no joke.
Xia Xingchen felt like an animal in a cage, and she felt uncomfortable. She had nothing to do now, so why should she stay here? She took the invitation, swiped the VIP door, and prepared to go upstairs to find a place to rest.
At this moment, the access control had not yet been opened, and a voice suddenly sounded behind me.
"Xia Xingchen!"
Although Xia Xingchen had only heard this voice a few times, it was familiar. Her expression froze, she clenched her drink cup, slowly turned around, and stared at the woman in front of her, "Ms. Song, long time no see."
Although his voice was slightly friendly, his expression was extremely cold.
As soon as Song Weiyi came over, all the wives and daughters of officials followed her and formed a circle around the two of them.
"Weiyi, who is she? I don't think I've seen her before."
"Are you friends?"
"Stop talking nonsense! How could I be friends with such a low-class person?" Song Weiyi retorted with a cold face.
Xia Xingchen just smiled and said nothing.
"Weiyi, look at the necklace on her neck. Isn't it the one you wanted at the auction last time, but it was bought by someone else?"
"And that skirt! It's also what I wanted at the time, but I didn't get it!"
"So, who is she, and why is everything on her? This set is worth several E!"
When Xia Xingchen heard this, he was shocked.
Isn't Bai Yeqing too extravagant? She gave him a tie worth thousands of dollars, but he lent her several E jewelry and dresses. Fortunately, it was May who sent her here, otherwise, she would have been robbed on the road and she wouldn't know what happened.
After their reminders, Song Weiyi finally noticed what she was wearing. After a closer look, it was indeed her! His expression changed again and again, and his mind was in turmoil.
Xia Xingchen is Xia Xingkong's sister, and she knows her family's financial situation very well. No matter how well-off she is, she can't afford to wear things worth hundreds of millions. What's more, she has a son to support. So how did she get all these clothes
Song Weiyi could only think of one possibility—Bai Yeqing.
Her face suddenly changed, and she clenched her hands at her sides.
"Xia Xingchen, do you know that you will be kicked out if you wear fakes at this kind of event?" Song Weiyi tried to calm down his anger, sneering at her, and then looking around at the others, "Do you really think she can afford such high-end clothes? These are just fakes! Now, which counterfeit market did you buy these things from?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the others burst into laughter.
Xia Xingchen was quite frank. How could Bai Yeqing's things be fake? Besides, even if they were fake, so what
She touched the emerald necklace on her neck, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Regardless of whether it's real or fake, it's just a piece of stone without temperature. Is it worth it for Miss Song to go to the imitation market to find it? I think the person who gave me this is really precious. Besides, it can't be bought in the imitation market or any famous brand store."
Xia Xingchen's last words were quite serious and meaningful. Others might not understand, but Song Weiyi could not fail to understand.
"Xia Xingchen, you! You are provoking me?!" Song Weiyi said, and grabbed a glass of juice beside him and was about to pour it at Xia Xingchen.
But…
Xia Xingchen was one step ahead. Under the shocked eyes of a group of women nearby, she threw a glass of juice on Song Weiyi's face. Today, she was really provocative!
"Oh my God! Are you crazy?"
"Where does this woman come from? She even dares to splash water on Weiyi!"
Song Weiyi was stunned. The dress she was wearing was worth tens of millions, and it was ruined! The yellow juice dripped from her face bit by bit, and she looked so embarrassed. The most important thing was... She was so bold in front of so many women!
Her face was pale and blue. Xia Xingchen was cold and silent, with no warmth in her eyes. "Ms. Song, compared to what you did to me, this is very light. If you dare to treat me like last time, what I will splash on your face today may be sulfuric acid!!"
Every word she said was powerful and cold. She was in the right. If the matter got out of hand, Song Weiyi would not gain any benefit.
"You! You are so brave!" Song Weiyi came to his senses, gritted his teeth, and raised his hand to slap Xia Xingchen.
