It was uncertain how many rolls of films were being used up to capture her beauty.
Even Li Hanlin, who was observing the scene from the second floor, was stunned.
Yun Tianyou stepped on his feet hard and asked sternly, “Mr. Li, did you forget what I have tasked you to do?”
“No!”
Li Hanlin gave an immediate reaction, but perhaps he was overly shaken, so he fumbled in agitation and nearly smashed the pricey SLR on the ground. He was so shocked he broke into cold sweat.
“Stay calm.” Youyou stared at him exasperatedly, as if he were mocking him for his inexperience in life.
“Boss, oh, god, Madam Yun is so beautiful – so beautiful that time almost stopped!”
He was stunned to the core by her beauty and hurriedly held up the camera. He still did not forget to exclaim, “The Creator is such a mystical being! So beautiful! So beautiful…”
“Of course, my mommy is precisely a fairy that has descended on Earth!” With a knowing smile, Yun Tianyou gazed at his mother lovingly. His eyes were filled with gentleness and warmth, nearly to the point of spoiling her rotten.
“Jingtian, isn’t that… Yun Shishi?! God… Her gown is so beautiful!”
At the VIP seats, Tang Yu exclaimed while looking over at Yun Shishi. She pushed away Lu Jingtian, who was toasting to others, in her disbelief.
The latter turned around in frustration and snapped, “What are you making a fuss of? Haven’t you seen enough of this?! Seriously.”
“Do you still remember her? She’s the rookie that Director Lin has been pushing recently. The necklace around her neck is so pretty. It’s actually a pigeon’s blood ruby!”
Lu Jingtian was startled and then followed the direction Tang Yu was looking. She could not help but be shocked as well.
The necklace looked very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before, and she felt deeply about it.
Her mind had a sudden recollection.
“Ah… that! Isn’t that—” A piece of memory flashed across her eyes, and, thereafter, a flame of jealousy was lit within her.
This necklace was an orphan work – the only piece in the world. Thus, before this, she had only ever seen it in the hands of Mu Yazhe.
She heard that the necklace was very meaningful to him and he regarded it as his life.
In the past, she had taken a great liking to this necklace and pleaded him to part ways with it by giving it to her, but she accidentally angered him, instead.
At present, she did not dare show much interest in the necklace.
Rumors had it that The Tear of Roses was the last orphan work of top Italian jewelry designer Jeanne Tumosa last century.
After its creation, many jewelry designers created numerous The-Tear-of-Roses-inspired exquisite diamond necklaces. Despite this, pigeon’s blood rubies were rare in the world, and The Tear of Roses could be said to be the ‘Queen of Gems’ by the end of the last century.
Why was it on her?
There was increased suspicion in Lu Jingtian’s eyes but hidden beneath them was more of pure jealousy.
She was about to hug all the limelight at this gala.
However, this Yun Shishi took away her role and even her spotlight.
Lu Jingtian laid her eyes on Gu Xingze and thought that this was even more unimaginable.
She was actually his female partner?
She had invited him to be her male partner for tonight, but she was mercilessly rejected, saying that he already had a partner.
She had been very disappointed, but she consoled herself with the thought that his partner must be a world-famous female actress.
… In the end, it was Yun Shishi?
A rookie who had yet to debut?
What was this?!
Her heart could hardly settle down.
As Yun Shishi was about to walk past her, she sneakily stuck out her foot under her gown…
