"What?"
"What did you say?!"
Zuoqiu Bin and Alfonso were startled, then both became angry. They looked up in the direction from which the sound came, but were stunned by what they saw.
The one who spoke was actually the girl who was being protected behind that woman!
Even though they were in a sorry state, about to be driven away, the girl smiled faintly.
Her smile was devoid of warmth; it seemed to contain three parts mockery, three parts contempt, and four parts an indescribable coldness.
The girl looked up and nodded to those behind them.
"Young Master Feng, Mr. Zuoqiu, I wonder if I have such a powerful backer?"
Young Master Feng?
Mr. Zuoqiu?
Zuoqiu Bin and Alfonso were shocked and turned around hastily, only to find that several high-ranking and powerful figures were coming down the long staircase behind them!
The notoriously womanizing young master Feng was by his side, and Mr. Zuo Qiu, the head of the expo, was also seated to the right. Also present were General Xu Kai, the chief of staff of the military, and Mr. Healy, the speaker of the upper house...
The two shivered simultaneously, quickly straightening up. Zuoqiu Bin smiled ingratiatingly, "Grand Uncle..."
Mr. Zuoqiu ignored her completely.
The usually stern and cold-hearted person in charge was now unusually smiling, nodding to Tong Su and turning to ask Young Master Feng, "Is this our protagonist today, Miss Yang An?"
Feng Yuanyi chuckled: "If you are her backer, then of course you are—if you are not her backer, she would have been kicked out, so what would she be then?"
The general shouted, "Outrageous! Who dares to throw her out? This is a distinguished guest that the entire exhibition is waiting for!"
The speaker smiled like a smiling tiger: "Zuoqiu, tell me, you're in charge of the expo, everyone who comes is a guest, how could you let someone kick you out?"
Mr. Zuoqiu smiled awkwardly: "It's my fault for poor management, I'm sorry for making you all laugh—what are you all standing there for? Get the troublemakers out of here!"
His last sentence was an angry shout at the security guards and bodyguards.
The security guards and bodyguards hesitated.
Should we kick out the troublemakers?
Who exactly is being kicked out?
"Grand Uncle?" Zuoqiu Bin exclaimed in surprise.
Her shout seemed to alert the security guards, and everyone hurriedly reached out to grab Tong Su. Mr. Zuoqiu, seeing this, flew into a rage: "What are you grabbing at? You've grabbed the wrong person! Throw them out—"
He raised his finger, pointing at Zuoqiu Bin and Alfonso!
Zuoqiu Bin stood there, stunned, his lips moving slightly: "Grand Uncle, no, why are you kicking me out..."
The security guard breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss Zuoqiu, please."
Zuoqiu comes from a political family. For example, Mr. Zuoqiu is in charge of this exhibition, but his actual official position is Minister of Propaganda for the Perseus constellation. However, Zuoqiu Bin is just an inconspicuous member of a collateral branch.
She just uses her great-uncle Zuoqiu's name to boast about her family connections, and only those from lower-class families will flatter and fawn over her, treating her like a noble lady.
Alfonso is even less worth mentioning.
It's true that Milne's family is rich and powerful, but they barely manage to stay at the bottom of the upper class. If it weren't for a princess in their family, they wouldn't even be able to get close to the top!
Since Master Zuoqiu has spoken, who needs to keep them?
"Grand Uncle! Why...why did you drive me away? It wasn't me who caused trouble, it was those two wretches! Grand Uncle—"
She screamed in panic. This expo was full of celebrities. How could she ever face anyone in the industry again after being kicked out by her own great-uncle?
We've completely lost face!
