The two greeted several familiar investors and veteran producers, when Sister Jing suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Manny immediately looked over: "What's wrong, Sister Jing?"

"She actually came too."

"Who is it?" Manny followed her manager's gaze and frowned in disappointment.

She wasn't a big name in the entertainment industry, but the woman was dressed head-to-toe in designer brands.

However, this outfit is rather strange.

The orange lace dress was elegant and sophisticated, outlining the woman's graceful curves, but the linen hat she wore was tilted slightly, obscuring her vision and ears.

She stood alone in front of the snow-white rectangular table, the small champagne tower gleaming coldly under the light. The woman reached out and quickly took a glass of champagne.

Manny's pupils suddenly contracted.

She...she only has two fingers.

Sister Jing had obviously seen it too, her expression one of utter shock. She whispered, "Didn't they say that Miss Huo from Z City married abroad and changed her nationality? What are you doing here?"

“The Huo family of Z City?” Manni murmured, then her eyes widened suddenly: “That’s the eldest daughter of the Huo family?”

If one had to describe the extent of the Huo family's power in Z City, to put it simply, the combined power of the three major families in W City wouldn't even come close to the Huo family's. The Huo family started out by tomb raiding, and the family has been in business for generations, with connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. The wealth they have accumulated remains a mystery to this day.

There's a saying in the underworld: when you encounter someone from the Huo family, whether they're human or ghost, you have to show them respect.

But for some reason, the Huo family has been keeping a very low profile in recent years, and several batches of their goods have been investigated.

Some people say that the Huo family has offended a powerful figure, but no one can think of anyone the Huo family cannot afford to offend!

At this moment, the woman tilted her head slightly, revealing one of her ears.

Manny gasped, her breath coming in short gasps, her voice trembling: "Sister Jing, she...she, her ear..."

What's wrong with my ear?

The agent was just pondering the important figure the Huo family had offended and didn't react immediately. When he belatedly noticed the missing ear under the woman's linen hat, his eyes widened in shock!

The eldest daughter of the Huo family is missing not only a few fingers, but also an ear.

He's become disabled!

Who would dare offend the Huo family like this? Are they out of their minds?!

Two large, dark gold doors were slowly pushed open.

The woman with the missing ear seemed to sense something and quickly looked towards the door. Her linen hat couldn't hide the excitement and ecstasy in her eyes.

Xiao Jingyi wore a black suit today, with a black satin tuxedo collar, a black custom-made shirt, and a black bow tie. He looked handsome and composed, with a unique gold brooch on his chest, exquisite yet understated.

The moment Manny saw the man enter, her heart began to pound rapidly.

Although she had worked with Xiao Jingyi on the movie "The Immortal's Curse", for some reason, she always felt that Xiao Jingyi when they acted together was somewhat different from the aloof and noble Xiao Jingyi she knew now.

But no matter which side of Xiao Jingyi she was in love with, she loved him to death!

If we can recruit Xiao Jingyi to our company, why should we worry about the Wang Group not reaching new heights?

Straightening her back, Manni was about to walk over when her manager stopped her.

She turned around in surprise: "Sister Jing?"

“Manni, have you forgotten how we got into Jinjiang Mansion? We bought player invitations and weren’t on the invited list today. If we go and greet Xiao Jingyi now, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if he found out?”

Upon hearing this, Manni paused in her movement of lifting her foot.

She almost forgot that the entire Jinjiang Guofu was booked by Ruian Technology today!

Although they were able to enter the Jinjiang State Mansion with the gold invitation, only a few actors from the entire "Immortal Sin" crew were invited to the Flying Immortal Peach Blossom Garden player gathering. At the time, she didn't take the banquet seriously, so she directly told the director that she never played games.

If I were to suddenly greet Xiao Jingyi now, wouldn't that be a blatant slap in the face?

"Thank goodness you reminded me, Sister Jing," Manni breathed a sigh of relief.

The agent sighed: "The others are fine, but even I, Sister Jing, who has seen countless people, can't figure out Xiao Jingyi's thoughts. It's better to avoid him."

Manni frowned: "Sister Jing, he's not as difficult to approach as you say. I've acted with him before, and I know him. I don't think all the feelings he expressed for me in the film were fake. It's just that he's been avoiding me since filming wrapped up to avoid suspicion."

"Oh dear, my silly girl," the agent said, exasperated, "The entertainment industry is all about avoiding one-sided love. Xiao Yingdi has so many female fans; you absolutely mustn't get involved in this mess when you're at the peak of your career..."

Manni didn't like hearing that. Who said it was just wishful thinking on her part? Maybe they were mutually attracted and were just trying to create the image of a golden couple in the entertainment industry?

"Alright, Sister Jing, I know what I'm doing!"

"By the way, where's Jiang Youyou? Didn't she say that Zhu Mo bought the player invitations for her at a high price?"

Bi Xie and Yun Qi also saw Xiao Jingyi and his group.

He was followed by countless media outlets and reporters, their flashes focusing on the man's sophisticated face: thick eyebrows, a narrow forehead, a narrow chin, and burgundy bangs combed back in the middle, the layered strands of hair making his features appear even more defined!

Every frame is truly picturesque.

The waiters of Jinjiang Guofu blocked a large group of media reporters behind the dark gold gate.

The conversation in the banquet hall quieted down slightly the moment Xiao Jingyi entered, but as the man strode into the hall, the laughter and chatter resumed.

Yun Qi gripped Bi Xie's hand tightly, almost jumping up with excitement, "Ahhh, Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi really came! Ahhhhh, this is the first time I've seen him up close! Yun Liu, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Given Yunqi's parents' status in W City, she was not qualified to enter a place like Jinjiang Guofu, where powerful and famous people gather. At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had played Flying Immortal Peach Blossom Spring!

I was never meant to be with my dream guy, it's all thanks to the money I spend on games!

However, being able to meet the movie star Xiao Jingyi made Yun Qi feel that the millions she had spent on the game were nothing.

“I wasn’t dreaming,” Bi Xie smiled, her eyes fixed on the man in the sharp suit.

The more she looked, the more she could feel the madness of Xiao Jingyi's uncle-level fan. How much love must one have to stick a beauty mark on the spot with such precision!

What a calamity!

Bi Xie sighed to himself, feeling inexplicably that something was amiss.

The silver-haired man and the gold-trimmed boy following Xiao Jingyi somehow overlapped with the masked trio she bumped into in the elevator that day.

"Meng Huaichuan!" Yun Qi laughed heartily, "Sure enough, wherever Actor Xiao is, Meng Huaichuan is sure to be there too. Meng Huaichuan is sticking tightly to his sugar daddy!"

"Is he Meng Huaichuan?" Bi Xie glanced at the silver-haired boy a few more times, finding him increasingly familiar.
