Everyone present had heard Claire's songs to some extent, and they were moved by his emotions, so they all surrounded Nguyen Minh Anh.

"Claire, I like your songs too!"

"Claire, you're so beautiful!"

"Oh my god, I actually got so close to Claire!"

Ruan Mingying greeted everyone with a smile, restrained and polite.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry came out, and Mrs. Henry went up to give Nguyen Minh Anh a warm hug.

"Claire, you've finally revealed your identity! Oh my god, do you know how happy I was when I found out you were going to be at our new product launch?" She seized the opportunity to make a request, "So, what do you think about becoming our brand's global ambassador?"

She truly lives up to her reputation as a business tycoon; she accurately grasped the prevailing trends.

Tonight, Nguyen Minh Anh will reveal her identity, and this event is bound to go viral and attract global attention.

As the organizer of this banquet, the H family will be mentioned repeatedly, and even the world's elite circles will think, "Oh, Claire likes H family jewelry," and thus follow suit and buy it.

This was essentially free global publicity for their brand, so of course she wanted to seize the opportunity and sign the endorsement deal.

Ruan Mingying reciprocated, after all, she had borrowed someone else's valuable space, and besides, she did indeed like H's jewelry.

"I think it's an honor for me, and I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

The two women clasped hands and quickly reached a business agreement.

This made everyone present realize just how high Claire's business value was.

H brand has many product lines and many spokespeople for each product line, but the company only has one global spokesperson.

This is a top-tier resource that no other company would even dare to dream of, representing an unshakeable position in the fashion industry.

In previous years, the partners were all foreigners; this is the first time an Asian has been used as a spokesperson.

Kolu forced a smile: "I invited Mingying today, but I haven't seen her yet. I was a little disappointed. I didn't expect you to know Kate."

The Henrys were a little confused. Were Corleone and Claire still friends?

He Wangyao: "Stop trying to build a friendship. What did you mean by saying that Sister Ying shouldn't avoid seeking medical help?"

Mingzhuo: "Are you still going to tell my sister's fortune now?"

She glanced at them one by one, first Ke Lu, then Lin Rujin, and finally Yu Zhenran.

Yu Zhenran clasped his hands and bowed to Ruan Mingying, his face flushed red. "I'm sorry, Benefactor Ruan. It was my lack of skill that led me to tell fortunes so casually. I... I was wrong."

He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and slapped himself twice. "Sorry."

Words have power, especially since he was a spiritual practitioner and should be even more careful with his words and actions. Therefore, he punished himself by slapping his palms twice to eliminate negative karma from his speech.

Jiang Shengying kept praying that Mingzhuo wouldn't look over, but Mingzhuo still did.

"Old Jiang, you should think carefully before you speak, so as not to create bad karma with your words, don't you think?" She was openly threatening him.

Jiang Shengying's heart skipped a beat. Seeing her pointing her fingers together made her scalp tingle. After all, that could unleash the sword energy of the three divine swords of Taoism!

"I see that this Benefactor Ruan is indeed destined for unparalleled wealth and honor."

He's not stupid. Why would he spout nonsense about being plagued by karmic obstacles at a time like this? Who would believe that?

Moreover, he could see that Ruan Mingying's fate had another layer of ingenuity, probably because someone had defied the heavens to change her destiny. But all things have their order of flourishing and decay, and to be able to fight against fate must come at a huge price. And this person was so powerful that they could hide the secrets of heaven... He really didn't dare to think too deeply about it.

Mingzhuo looked at everyone and said, "Now everyone understands, right? If anyone still thinks my sister has a bad fate, why don't we compare her career achievements first?"

Several people in the crowd lowered their heads, their faces burning with embarrassment, and dared not meet her gaze.

They spread a lot of rumors at the banquet, and Ming Zhuo heard them all clearly.

Gu Xu also stepped forward: "Ms. Ruan Mingying is someone I greatly admire. Those who spread rumors should have some self-respect."

Mr. and Mrs. Henry were confused and asked their assistant what was going on.

The assistant had already found out the details and whispered the whole story to Mr. and Mrs. Henry.

Mr. and Mrs. Henry's expressions changed slightly. Mr. Henry said to Claire with a serious face, "Claire is my honored guest. She doesn't need your invitation at all. Please have some self-respect."

He had always known that this Ke Lu had some fame in the entertainment industry, and she liked to use her position to her advantage, turning the family's new product launch into her private social arena for fame and fortune.

It's one thing to use an invitation as a favor, but to use it to put others down?

They even dragged Claire into it? That's insane!

He glanced at Lin Rujin, and that look sent a chill down her spine.

"Ms. Lin, please have some self-respect."

After saying that, Mr. and Mrs. Henry invited Nguyen Minh Veng to come in and sit down for dinner. Naturally, the best seat tonight would belong to Nguyen Minh Veng.

Because Mingzhuo was Ruan Mingying's younger sister, and because she had shown off her skills by defeating Jiang Shengying in a magical duel, she was also made an honored guest.

Despite being the hottest male celebrity tonight, Yang Juntong didn't feel neglected at all. Instead, he followed behind Ruan Mingying like a little fanboy, grinning like he was seeing his idol.

On the other side, Ke Lu was so angry that her face turned ashen.

She looked at Lin Rujin: "Xiaojin, where's your sister?"

Lin Rujin shook her head. "She said she wasn't feeling well and went back to her room to rest."

Kolu sneered: "Is that so? Isn't it because you saw that things were going to be exposed and you were afraid of losing face that you hid?"
