Chapter 171 - Queries of Heart (1/2)

Xiong Zhi came out from the backstage and went directly to her table. Behind her was Lu Yin Ze, Mr. Cang, and the medic team who was about to return.

She was just halfway to her table when someone point at her and all people surrounded her. Flashes of cameras and the tiny microphone was almost shoved to her face.

Mr. Zhou Min was quick as he came in a flash and hide Xiong Zhi behind his back.

'What's going on?' This sudden attention to her made her blank for a moment.

It was so noisy and she could barely make out what they're saying.

”Miss Xiong Zhi, how are you feeling for being the first person who bought the most expensive dress in the whole world?”

”Is 20 billion your maximum price? Or you will bid more if you have more competitors?”

”Is this the way for you to debut in society?”

”What are you planning for the 20 billion dress?”

”Is your main goal to be the VVIP of IAmFashionista?”

Questions after questions were bombarded to her. These were the reporters who were quietly taking pictures and notes earlier at the back. Now, that the main event was done, these reporters could interview any person they could approach. Of course, as the main sponsor of today's event, she would be the main character.

Xiong Zhi held her head. She prepared herself mentally for this. Since she planned to win the bid with an overwhelmingly large amount of money, she expected this. However, this would be trouble for a while.

It might be a good advantage for her and for her company. But Xiong Zhi still wanted a quiet life. Where she could pull the strings behind the back of people's attention quietly.

Standing out too much brought troubles as well. She still hasn't solidified her strength yet.

That's why she put Fang Dien as the CEO of IHZHI. If people knew she owned IHZHI, companies left and right would attack IHZHI. The growing power of the Xiong Empire.

Even she claimed it publicly that IHZHI doesn't have any ties to the Xiong Empire it would not let the big companies back out from competing against them.

Old Xiong stands up as well. The guards of the Xiong family surrounded them and create a path for them. Xiong Zhi and Old Xiong don't have any chance to bid goodbye to their tablemates and to the other people.

It was more crowded on the way to the car. The other media outlets who don't have a pass greeted them. They too heard about what happened inside.

The sea of people pushed back the main character to her own car.

In mere minutes, the Xiong's car and their entourage left in a flash, leaving the disappointed people behind.

”Sigh.” Xiong Zhi let out a big sigh. She imagined what her life would be tomorrow onwards. She was a bit impulsive. But she did not regret it.

”Grandfather, I am-” Xiong Zhi stopped her next words when she had a clear view of the man beside her.

The man was handsome despite his clothes a bit creased. His hair was disheveled like he faced a strong blizzard along the way. With his unusual tidy look, Linfeng looked like a boy on his age.

”Linfeng? How come you're here?” Xiong Zhi was really stunned. She thought it was her grandfather who was seated beside her. Because of their chaotic exit, she did not notice her surrounding. She did not notice that it was Linfeng who opened the door for her. Mr. Zhou Min and Old Xiong went to the other car.

”I called my father in time when they need an extra hand. I hurried over here.” Linfeng smiled lightly.

If Xiong Zhi knew that the 'I hurried over here' took SC's newest purchased jet plane, she would be really shocked.

”I see.” Xiong Zhi thought that Butler Zhou Min called Linfeng after she won the bid.

”So, how's today?” Linfeng initiated the conversation for the first time. Xiong Zhi was a bit happy to the point the worries of tomorrow pushed at the back of her mind.

”Things happened. I got a dress.”

Linfeng heard from his father when he called earlier than their young miss bought one of the main dress. And it was the most expensive of all dresses. However, butler Zhou Min had not yet told the details to him yet.

”I heart it from father. Congrats.” Linfeng smiled then studied Xiong Zhi. The call from Jang Shin still lingered in his mind.

”It's so expensive. It's good that it was a gift.” Xiong Zhi was a bit lively as she continued to have this conversion that Linfeng initiated.

”Gift?”

”Yes. From grandfather.”

Linfeng was a bit stunned. It was the first time Master Xiong gifted someone in the Xiong family.

Seeing that Xiong Zhi was smiling warmly made Linfeng smile warmly too.

”I'm happy for you, young miss.”

”Yeah. I'm happy too. I got that dress for free.” ' I got 20 billion for free. I annoyed Xiong Wuyue and destroy her image to Mr. Cang. And I gained a weapon to make Xiong Wuyue puked blood later.' Xiong Zhi was truly happy while adding those words to her mind.

Linfeng's worry eased as he saw her carefree smile. He did not ask about Gao Huan.

'It's good as long as she stays happy.' As he continued to watch her and listen to her story he noticed the cute bandage on Xiong Zhi's shoulder.

”Young miss?” Linfeng's brow was furrowed. His mind was thinking of how did Xiong Zhi end up being 'wounded'.

Xiong Zhi followed his gaze and look at her own shoulder.
