The Second Love

Chapter 266 Who Is This Person...

The two individuals who entered gracefully were both dressed in elegant white attire, resembling a prince and princess, captivating the attention of everyone present. "Wow, this girl is stunning. Is she also an artist?" "Could she be a newcomer who just made her debut? She must have a strong background, otherwise how could she replace Lin Xi and enter with Chu, the male god, holding her arm?" "Oh my god, did you notice the diamonds on her dress? She must be very wealthy." "Indeed, no wonder it's so dazzling. Oh my god, she's actually wearing diamonds..." ... My ears were filled with these exclamations and speculations for a moment. Shannon, who was seated next to me, nudged me and whispered in my ear, "Tsk tsk tsk... I've broadened my horizons. I've only seen pictures online before, but I never expected to see her in person today!" "She's really extravagant, not afraid of being robbed when going out." "Hey, do you know who she is? A surprise guest?" Feeling dizzy at the moment, I didn't pay much attention to Shannon's ramblings. I simply replied, "Uh... I know..." Shannon suddenly turned my head, her eyes shining, "You know? You know this beautiful girl? Come on, tell me." She nearly dislocated my neck as I forcefully pushed her hand away and impatiently said, "What's there to say? We're not acquainted. I only know her name." Shannon still looked very interested, staring at me, and I had no choice but to continue, "Her name is Gu Xingchen, and she just returned from abroad." I was truly confused. Wasn't Gu Xingchen a wealthy heiress? Why would she attend the wrap-up party with Nicholas Scott? "Is that it?" Shannon seemed dissatisfied with my answer. I glared at her, "What else do you want? I already said we're not acquainted. It's already enough that I know her name!" Didn't everyone in the audience look at Nicholas Scott and Gu Xingchen with curiosity, as if they were about to burst with curiosity? They must be thinking even more, maybe even speculating if they were having an affair. Oh, no, that's not right. They have a secret relationship! When the words "secret relationship" flashed through my mind, I suddenly remembered what Dominic Hartnell had told me about Gu Xingchen being engaged. One second, two seconds, three seconds... I instantly widened my eyes, and my mouth formed an "O" shape. This can't be a coincidence, Gu Xingchen has an engagement, and this person... is Nicholas Scott? I swallowed my saliva and patted my chest forcefully. Just thinking about this kind of thing makes me feel a bit passionate and excited. "Shannon, I have some gossip to tell you, but it's just speculation. Do you want to hear it?" "About who, Gu Xingchen? Or Nicholas Scott? Or... wow, both of them?" I have to say, Shannon's reaction is super quick. I nodded and moved my chair closer to her, then whispered in her ear, telling her what I knew and guessed. After listening, Shannon had a face of "I don't believe it". I winked at her and said, "I think there's at least a sixty percent chance." After three seconds of daze, Shannon suddenly held her heart and said with a pained expression, "Oh no, Chu Nanshen is about to be taken home by the little princess. I feel so heartbroken." I looked at her playful and exaggerated actions and couldn't help but laugh, "That's enough, even if there's no little princess like Gu Xingchen, there are other beauties, like Scarlett Williams, right?" "But how do you know Gu Xingchen is a little princess? Does she look like someone from a wealthy family?" Shannon sat up straight and said seriously, "I heard that Dominic Hartnell's wealth is estimated in billions. If you can really make him yours completely, then you'll definitely become a wealthy lady in the future. How can you not understand the market?" "Didn't you see the dress the little princess was wearing? It was adorned with diamonds, a custom-made piece from AI-L last year, the only one in the world. I saw it in a magazine, no mistake." "With her looks, wealth, and the respect she receives from others, what else could she be if not a little princess?"Clap, clap, clap... I want to applaud Shannon, her analysis is spot on. Indeed, she is a princess, and not just any princess, but a princess who has reached new heights of beauty. It's really hard not to attract attention. At this moment, the banquet hall is bustling, and everyone's gaze is firmly fixed on Nicholas Scott and Gu Xingchen. So much so that when Scarlett Williams and James Dalton entered right after them, it didn't cause much of a stir. Wait a minute... I'm starting to doubt if I'm hallucinating. It's already strange enough to see Gu Xingchen, but now even James Dalton has joined in. This wrap-up banquet today is quite magical. Shannon was also with James Dalton, and seeing him come in with Scarlett Williams surprised me as well. "Hey hey hey... That guy, with Scarlett Williams, is James Dalton? Am I seeing things?"I shook my head and slowly said, "Hmm... I also doubt my own eyes. Take a look, is it James Dalton?" "Liliana Zanetti, I think there will probably be big news someday," Shannon said, and I couldn't agree more with her statement. With Nicholas Scott and Gu Xingchen leading the way, followed by Scarlett Williams and James Dalton, the main actors and staff members entered the spotlight one after another. The host introduced everyone's identities and their roles in the play, followed by a brief speech from the director. It wasn't until James Dalton's turn that I found out he had also invested in this play. So it seemed normal for him to attend the wrap party today. During this process, from start to finish, Gu Xingchen always stood on the left side of Nicholas Scott, intimately linking her arm with his. This calm attitude undoubtedly indirectly fueled the fire, at least within the range of my hearing, everyone was constantly discussing it. After this interlude, the banquet finally began, and the lights in the banquet hall came back on. The people in the venue became lively, and Nicholas Scott and his group naturally became the center of attention. I didn't want to join in the excitement, and Shannon wasn't very interested either, so the two of us went to the buffet area to get some food and sat back at the round table, eating as if no one else was around. However, this sense of ease didn't last long because Gu Xingchen and Nicholas Scott approached us. I was unsure of Shannon's feelings at that moment, but personally, I felt incredibly uneasy, as if I was under intense scrutiny. Amidst the unwelcome attention from the onlookers, Gu Xingchen smiled radiantly like a blooming summer flower and raised her glass towards me. Her voice, pleasant and melodious, greeted me, "Miss Zhong, it's a pleasure to meet again."Hmm... Haha... Can I admit that I wasn't actually eager to see her again?
