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

Even though she was prepared, Nan Shu was still hurt by Madam Nan's harshness.

She looked coldly at Madam Nan in front of her, unable to understand why the person who had once treated her like a precious jewel, who had taken care of her for so many years, would discard her like trash simply because of her status.

Even if she wasn't their biological daughter, they had raised her for so many years. Didn't they have any feelings for her at all?

Nan Shu sneered and deliberately took a step toward Madam Nan and Nan Xue.

"If I'm not qualified, then do you think you are?"

Nan Shu stared intently at Nan Xue, her eyes seeming to see through everything.

Nan Xue looked away guiltily.

Most of the people attending the Chris exhibition were heads of well-known jewelry brands and related designers. She was just a recent graduate from a design school and, in principle, was not qualified to attend the exhibition.

However, as long as she could participate in this exhibition, it would pave the way for her future status in the design industry, so Nan Xue begged Madam Nan to spend a lot of money to buy an invitation.

Seeing Nan Xue's guilty look, Nan Shu sneered.

"Before you laugh at others, take a look in the mirror and see how much you're worth, otherwise you'll just be slapping yourself in the face."

Nan Shu was too lazy to waste words with Nan Xue and prepared to go to the other side to wait for Chris's assistant.

How could Nan Xue let this humiliation from Nan Shu in public go unpunished?

She glared at Nan Shu through gritted teeth and shouted.

"You came here without an invitation? Do you think you're so powerful? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You just want to hook up with a powerful man and have him take you in, right?"

Nan Xue's voice was quite loud, drawing the attention of everyone around them.

The eyes of those around them fell on Nan Shu and Nan Xue, and they couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.

Where there are people, there is gossip. Now that there is a ready-made spectacle, they are naturally happy to join in.

"Nan Xue, you really are incorrigible."

Nan Shu sneered, her eyes flashing with such a cold light that Nan Xue was startled. After realizing what was happening, she forced herself to tilt her head back.

"Am I wrong? You only got into the design school because you slept with Qi Yuye. Now that Qi Yuye doesn't want you anymore, you're trying to seduce other men."

"I never imagined that this is how the Nan family raises their daughters."

A cold male voice rang out, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Upon hearing this voice, Nan Shu's usually calm expression finally changed.

She looked up slightly and saw Qi Yuye, dressed in a black suit with dark patterns, striding towards them.

Nan Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to avoid it.

But now she was surrounded by people, and there was no way to avoid it.

The moment Nan Xue saw Qi Yuye, her eyes lit up, and she didn't even care what Qi Yuye had just said.

Qi Yuye glanced coldly at Nan Xue, then looked at Nan Shu.

"I'll take you inside."

"No need, I can go in by myself."

Without a second thought, Nan Shu directly rejected Qi Yuye's invitation.

Are you rejecting me?

Qi Yuye narrowed his eyes, his tone dangerous.

"No, Mr. Qi, I just feel that this is inappropriate. People usually bring female companions to these kinds of events, and it's not convenient for us to go in together."

Upon hearing Nan Shu's words, Qi Yuye raised an eyebrow.

"What's our relationship? Who do you think I am today?"

Nan Shu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning behind Qi Yuye's words.

"What?"

"Nan Shu, don't forget that you are now a designer working with our Shengda Group. The first version of the jewelry you designed for our company has been produced, and the response has been very good after it was launched into the market. So today I am attending this exhibition as your boss."

Qi Yuye is always concise and to the point; it's rare to hear him explain so much about something.

Nan Shu came to her senses and shook her head.

"Mr. Qi, our cooperation is only temporary, and I don't need you to provide me with such convenience."

Seeing Nan Shu reject Qi Yuye time and time again, Nan Xue couldn't help but speak up.

"Nan Shu, don't be ungrateful. How can you refuse President Qi in front of everyone? Where does that leave President Qi's face?"

Nan Xue said this on purpose to escalate the matter and make Nan Shu completely offend Qi Yuye.

This would give her a chance to get close to Qi Yuye.

Nan Shu saw through Nan Xue's intentions at a glance. She sneered and looked at Nan Xue.

"I think I've made myself clear; I have a way to get in."

Nan Xue looked at Nan Shu with a mocking expression, ruthlessly reopening Nan Shu's wounds.

"What qualifications do you have to go in? Do you think you'll always have this kind of luck in getting someone else to take your place?"

As soon as Nan Xue finished speaking, a slightly respectful voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention.

"Miss Nan Shu, Mr. Chris asked me to bring you in!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Nan Xue, in particular, looked completely surprised.

Chris's assistant quickly approached Nan Shu and gestured for her to enter.

Qi Yuye's gaze swept past Chris's assistant and then landed on Nan Shu.

Nan Shu nodded, glanced at Nan Xue indifferently, and then followed Chris's assistant into the exhibition hall.

After Nan Shu left, a murmur of discussion arose outside the exhibition hall.

"Wasn't that Chris's assistant? Why would he come out to pick someone up personally?"

"Who knows? Maybe she knows Chris's assistant and said that on purpose to save face for her."

"Exactly, how could Mr. Chris possibly know such an unknown designer?"

Nan Xue was already somewhat frantic when she saw Chris's assistant leave with Nan Shu.

But after hearing these sounds, I calmed down.

"That's true. Even if you know Chris's assistant, it's not a big deal. The most important thing is that your work is appreciated by Chris. That's the highest honor in the design world."

Nan Xue murmured to herself, then looked at Madam Nan.

Madam Nan immediately handed the invitation to the waiter, and then led Nan Xue into the exhibition hall.

Qi Yuye stared at Nan Shu's retreating figure with a somber expression. He never expected that Nan Shu would reject his kindness in public.

Qi Yuye strode into the exhibition hall, and the people around him, seeing that there was no more excitement to see, gradually dispersed.

Chris's assistant led Nan Shu to a place to rest.

"Miss Nan, it's quieter here. Our boss will come over when he's done with his work."

Nan Shu nodded and said politely.

"Thank you for your help."

The assistant nodded and left. Shortly after he left, Qi Yuye came over.

Are you avoiding me now?
