Chapter 162 - IAmFashionista (1/2)

The two sat without striking a conversation with the Lu. The Lu family was not a person who would approach people first. So this table was amusingly silent.

Lu Yin Ze gulped. At the moment that he meets the younger one's eyes, he thought of his older brother. The look of his brother's eyes and the young man who was wearing the mask was the same. Deep and detached.

He could not help but watched the two newcomers with wariness.

For some reason, his heart was beating loudly. It's a familiar feeling. The feeling of being afraid.

He tried to calm down himself. He already saw the list. His brother's name was not on the list. It's impossible for his brother to be here.

However, even though he said that Lu Yin Ze's eyes keep watching them.

Gao Huan and the young man who was wearing the masked glanced at each other at the same time. Gao Huan hide his smile when his eyes met the young man's eyes.

A short conversation was there in one look.

Xiong Zhi glanced at the two new comers in the Lu's table. In the list that Linfeng gave to her, only one person doesn't have a full name and a picture. This person only has a pseudonym 'XLX'.

The guest has a choice to use a code name. Especially in this theme. Where people could hide their identity easily through their mask. Only the organizer could know who they are.

However, ever since the creation of IAmFashionista, no one had to use a code name. No one tried to hide their identity. Because most of the people who attend this event were here to make their name shine brighter and to widen their connections. So it was really a wonder why such a person would attend the event while hiding their identity.

What's their motive? Are they here to just purely buy a dress? However, Xiong Zhi does not care about it. As long as, they were not her enemy.

She chose to follow Linfeng's words.

Xiong Zhi remembered what Linfeng said.

”This person is very mysterious. He has a great network. He hid his identity very well. Those people who can manage to do that are either one of the big families that could rival the legendary family or one of the lords of the underworld.”

It was shocking even for Linfeng. Because he spent a week of looking to this man's background, however, it was futile. The investigation couldn't find anything. It's like the man was a ghost. Xiong Zhi and Linfeng realized that this man was dangerous. Because his security could even rival a Xiong.

Linfeng then reminded her that this kind of person was better to be avoided. If they approached her for an offer she needs to decline.

Seeing the two, Xiong Zhi agreed.

Xiong Zhi waited more for one person to come.

That moment came.

Xiong Mai, Xiong Zhi's aunt in the third branch, was wearing a bright red long gown. She walked to the VIP area. Her seat was on the second row of VIP. It was only natural that she would be invited since she was the central figure of the European Union. However, she was a bit lacking compare to the persons in the front row of VIP.

Xiong Mai went to Xiong Zhi's table first to greet Old Xiong and Xiong Zhi.

Xiong Zhi was happy to meet her. Their eyes met, with one look Xiong Zhi knew what her aunt Xiong Mai meant.

The guests and some VIPs keep coming.

A while later, the refreshments were served and the people in the same table were having a conversation. Some were walking to other's table to introduce themselves. A lot of people keep coming and going into the VIP area. But of course, those people in the VIP seat remain seated.

It was only when the light in the platform turned on that all the guests returned to their seats.

It seems that the event, IAmFashionista was about to start.

A middle-aged chubby man who was wearing a pink tailcoat was standing in the platform.

He was a famous designer, rank number one all over the world, Mr. Cang Yi. The host of the IAmFashionista since five years ago.

”Good evening, royalties.”

Royalties. This statement was very true. These people in front of Mr. Cang were kings and queens that dominated their own industry and country.

”I'm so happy to stand in front of you again and serve you tonight.”

Mr. Cang looked around. Especially in the VIP seats.

”It looks like our sponsors increase in number this year. It shows how our society is becoming richer as time passed by.”

The guests were silently listening.

”Of course, not everybody can manage the feat to become richer and to stand at the top. That's why we are here. To help the poor. And those in need.”

Xiong Zhi flinched at this speech. This speech sounds arrogant. She looked around.

No one was frowning like her. Maybe the guests were always hearing this every year?

Xiong Zhi was right.

The speech was a part of the script. It was made to compliment and satisfied the ego of those predators.
