After her ex-husband became a Hong Kong entertainment circle tycoon, he put his arm around her waist

One week later, at the International Jewelry Brand Appreciation Conference.

Numerous top jewelry designers gathered together, and a long red carpet was laid out outside the venue.

Flashbulbs were going off incessantly as reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, waited outside.

This event not only invited renowned jewelry design masters, but also many well-known domestic celebrities.

Nan Shu drove to the venue, parked her car, and then entered the venue under the watchful eyes of many people.

Fortunately, she wasn't too famous, so she wasn't surrounded by reporters and got in smoothly.

Upon entering the venue, Nan Shu discovered that not only were many top designers invited, but also some socialites and wealthy women were gathered there.

As her gaze swept across the hall, she recognized many of the people as people she had met before, as well as some with whom she had previously had a falling out.

As soon as Nan Shu entered, she noticed some malicious gazes falling on her.

She pretended not to know and walked towards the display case in front of her, calmly admiring the works designed by the masters.

Not far away, two disdainful gazes fell upon Nan Shu.

"Have you heard? That woman is President Qi's ex-wife. She used to insist on divorcing President Qi, and now she has the audacity to move into President Qi's house with her son from another man."

"How can there be such a shameless person in the world? She probably saw that President Qi took over Shengda Group, so she wanted to come back and climb the social ladder, right? Too bad that President Qi has already married Lin Xi, how could he possibly want her again?"

Nan Shu was originally engrossed in looking at the exquisite jewelry in the display case. These designs could inspire her to some extent, so she was unwilling to miss this opportunity.

But the two women were speaking quite loudly, as if they were deliberately trying to make her hear them, and one unpleasant word after another reached her ears.

Even if Nan Shu had a good temper, she couldn't pretend she hadn't heard those words.

Nan Shu turned around, about to speak, when a cold voice came from not far away.

"You all have so much free time to spread rumors and gossip about others; it seems you're having too much of a time at home."

Qi Yuye stared at the two women in front of him with a dark expression and icy gaze.

Beside Qi Yuye were two middle-aged men, both with grim faces, glaring at the two women.

"What are you saying here about President Qi's family affairs!"

Upon seeing this, one of the men immediately shouted a rebuke.

"Hurry up and apologize to President Qi!"

"Mr. Qi, I'm so sorry, my wife has a loose tongue. She didn't mean to talk about you."

President Li forced a smile and apologized to Qi Yuye.

The woman opposite him looked uneasy and was about to apologize to Qi Yuye, but Qi Yuye interrupted her.

"President Li, the person they should apologize to is not me, but Nan Shu, who was the one they talked about and splashed dirty water on."

Qi Yuye's gaze fell on Nan Shu, his eyes filled with concern.

Nan Shu remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard what Qi Yuye said. Without waiting for Mrs. Li to apologize, she turned and left.

She had heard far too many of these baseless rumors and slanders since leaving the Nan family, including when she divorced Qi Yuye, and she simply didn't take them to heart.

If she gets angry over a few words from others, she'll have a very tiring life.

Seeing Nan Shu turn and leave, Qi Yuye's face darkened even more.

Ignoring the people around him, he strode after her and blocked her way.

"Nan Shu, what do you mean by this? Are you ignoring me?"

Nan Shu raised her eyelids and looked at Qi Yuye in front of her, her expression indifferent.

"Mr. Qi, we seem to only have a business relationship. I have no obligation to play along with you in this kind of situation."

After saying this, Nan Shu bypassed Qi Yuye and walked directly towards another display case.

Qi Yuye watched Nan Shu's departing figure, gritted his teeth, and was about to chase after her again when a woman's voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"Yu Ye, I didn't expect you to attend this exhibition. I thought you weren't interested in these things."

Lin Xi walked over with a look of surprise and delight.

She had been so busy lately, and Qi Yuye hadn't been home all night, so Lin Xi never expected to run into Qi Yuye here.

"I just happened to be invited by a client and I happened to be free, so I came."

Qi Yuye stopped and turned around to look at Lin Xi.

"That's wonderful! I've been wanting to have dinner with you for the past few days. We haven't eaten together in ages. How about we have a candlelight dinner together tonight?"

Lin Xi looked at Qi Yuye with a smile and anticipation.

Qi Yuye glanced behind him subconsciously, but Nan Shu was no longer in sight.

Qi Yuye frowned and said casually.

"it is good."

"Let's take a look around the exhibition together! I'm interested in so many things here!"

"I still have work to discuss. You can take your time browsing here. Just buy whatever you like."

After saying this, Qi Yuye turned and left.

Lin Xi watched as Qi Yuye hurriedly walked in the direction Nan Shu had left, and immediately clenched her fists.

"Nan Shu, what kind of curse did you cast on Qi Yuye that he still hasn't given up?"

Lin Xi's eyes were filled with resentment and hatred, which flashed by but was quickly concealed by Lin Xi.

She put on her usual smile and walked to the other side.

Nan Shu stood in front of a display case, her eyes glued to the gemstone necklace that shimmered under the lights.

This necklace is exquisitely designed, noble yet not overly ornate or extravagant, making it a truly rare and fine piece.

"It's just that the color of this gemstone seems a bit too pale; it's too overpowering. It would probably be better if it were pink."

Out of professional habit, Nan Shu couldn't help but mutter to herself as she watched.

As soon as Nan Shu finished speaking, a voice filled with surprise suddenly rang in her ears.

"Great! If this part were pink, it would be wonderful!"

The man's voice broke Nan Shu's immersive viewing, and Nan Shu straightened up and looked to the side.

A blond, blue-eyed young man was standing next to Nan Shu, his eyes shining as he looked at the jewelry in the display case.

Nan Shu looked at the man in front of her and found him somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where she had seen him before.

The man turned to the staff member beside him, "Quickly get this jewelry out of me, I need to take it back to have it altered!"

The staff member looked troubled.

"Sir, these are all works we use for exhibition. Individuals are not allowed to move them without the designer's permission."

The man looked puzzled. "Can't I even make my own decisions about my own things?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Nan Shu's eyes widened immediately.

Is this man the designer of this necklace? Could he be Christopher, the chief designer of that famous French luxury brand?
