Chapter 1687: Chapter 685: Coming Clean

Sun Xining was initially very awkward.

This awkwardness stemmed from two aspects.

On one hand, it was because of some small thoughts; she secretly came to Magic City without telling Qi Jiayi...

But it couldn’t be entirely her fault, because even though she had spent quite a bit of time with Qi Jiayi on Hong Kong Island, not only eating and living together but also learning various affairs from her, up to now, she still couldn’t figure out the exact relationship between Qi Jiayi and Zhou Wang.

Or to rephrase it, before meeting Qi Jiayi this time, she wasn’t sure if the two were purely work-related, or if there was something else.

Although Qi Jiayi was very beautiful, she had heard that she had been divorced, and her age didn’t quite match Zhou Wang. Moreover, when she mentioned Zhou Wang, it was always in a businesslike tone, so Sun Xining couldn’t discern anything.

On the other hand, it was due to the oppressive atmosphere from the women in this room.

Only sufficiently beautiful women can realize what kind of "little calamari" they are in this office...

"These, these are all Mr. Zhou’s girlfriends? Several of them are too beautiful, like celebrities... no, maybe even more beautiful than celebrities."

The mixed-race girl Lisa, who wished she could turn invisible, sat cautiously in the corner of the sofa and whispered as soon as she could.

To this, Sun Xining could only press her lips in silence.

She had long known that she couldn’t be Zhou Wang’s only one, and this realization had been established from that classmates’ gathering... because Zhou Wang had stated it directly.

Anyway, she hadn’t ever been in a proper relationship, being a lover was fine...

So her attitude towards this was quite calm, as Zhou Wang had given her what was supposed to be hers, and it was precisely because of this clear self-positioning that she and Lisa, who also had no illusions, could become the kind of close friends who talked about everything.

Although Zhou Wang never mentioned it, a month ago Sun Xining knew today was his birthday, or perhaps more than a month, after that time in Jing City she gradually remembered everything about Zhou Wang and even recorded it with software.

A young girl’s affection is like this, even if no one knows, it’s passionate in secrecy.

Because during a chat, Sun Xining pretended to ask inadvertently where Zhou Wang would be on Christmas, Zhou Wang casually mentioned it would probably be in Magic City, so the tickets had long been bought with Lisa. Sun Xining just didn’t expect Zhou Wang would "lose contact" at this time, so she had to come to the Wangzhou Group and meet so many "sisters"...

However, soon, Sun Xining and Lisa were no longer so awkward.

Because, as the office door was knocked on once again, and a woman wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, wrapping herself tightly, walked in, all the eyes that were originally scrutinizing them shifted away.

Although it’s winter now, this outfit still looked quite questionable, especially as more than one person present felt the woman’s silhouette looked familiar.

When she took off her sunglasses and removed her scarf, Lisa, who had already guessed a bit but hadn’t dared to believe, immediately tugged on Sun Xining’s sleeve.

"Ah!"

She let out a scream, and as soon as everyone else’s eyes turned to her, she quickly lowered her head awkwardly and hid behind Sun Xining.

"Sister Lisa, what are you doing?"

Sun Xining was also startled by her, and only after others weren’t watching them did she softly ask.

"That’s Miss Di... my favorite celebrity, so I couldn’t help it just now."

Hearing Lisa’s explanation, Sun Xining wasn’t that surprised either.

At the sight of the woman’s true face, Sun Xining herself was momentarily stunned.

Although at Zhou Wang’s level, having celebrities in his social circle wasn’t unusual, she and Lisa were after all just ordinary people, and suddenly encountering an idol from the screen in reality, it was only natural that the mood would be a bit excited.

...though this setting was quite "strange."

"Ningning, I take back what I said earlier, Miss Di actually looks even more beautiful in reality, maybe it’s not impossible to compare her with them."

Lisa continued to speak with a hint of excitement.

But Sun Xining found it quite normal, and likewise searching for "internet celebrity’s candid shots" and "celebrity’s candid shots," you discover they aren’t even on the same level; there is fundamentally no comparison between the two.

Being a "hot actress" means she can completely and utterly outshine internet celebrities from all angles, representing the pinnacle of public aesthetics to some extent.

Unlike internet celebrities, nine out of ten would be unrecognizable when seen in the harsh light, unable to survive in a "no beauty filter, no lens flare" camera.

So Sun Xining just agreed with a sound, then she was reminded of another crucial question:

"Why is she here?"

As Miss Di walked into the office, she surveyed around, probably not expecting so many beautiful women gathered here, especially when she saw Ding Yi and Jiang Mo, Miss Di even paused for a moment.

Because she had seen these two women on the shuttle bus at the airport, they had arrived on the same flight to Magic City...

Miss Di never thought she would see them again at Zhou Wang’s company.

Are they also women with a close relationship with Zhou Wang?

Miss Di had a certain realization, then quickly suppressed her complex feelings, looked around sweeping her gaze before asking:

"Hello, may I ask which one of you is Mr. Jiang?"

"That’s me... hello, Miss Di."

Jiang Qingkui stepped forward and gently shook her hand, "Let me guess, are you also here to find Mr. Zhou?"
