Including Quan Jiu, everyone was dumbfounded.
Yuan Zijun and Chu Zhenhua looked at Old Master Xing, then at their own son, as if waiting for an explanation.
Chu Rong, with a cold face, stared at Xing Di, who was engrossed in the scenery not far away.
Quan Jiu returned the black gold card to the old man and explained, "Grandpa, you must have mistaken someone."
"I didn't mistake anyone. My grandson told me himself." Old Master Xing turned to seek confirmation from his grandson, but the grandson had already disappeared.
That rascal, daring to do it but not to own up to it. Old Master Xing cursed him in his heart.
Yuan Zijun thought for a moment and decided to invite Old Master Xing into the inner courtyard. There were too many people present, and it didn't seem like the right time to talk.
Old Master Xing was naturally delighted and trotted alongside his "great-grandson," his eyes never leaving him.
With Old Master Xing's appearance, the people present gradually came back to their senses. By the time the group disappeared around the corner of the corridor, they began to discuss animatedly.
Ren Kui held her mother's hand, her eyes sparkling with admiration. "Mom, did you see? That's my boss. Isn't she as beautiful as a celestial being? So, my boss already has children, and those two children are so well-behaved."
Ye Suhua did not object this time, nodding in agreement. "She indeed has an extraordinary aura. Does this mean your boss is backed by the Xing family? Is Chu Xin Culture a company of the Xing family?"
If it were the Xing family, it wouldn't be bad. With the Xing family's strength, Chu Xin Culture would surely develop sooner or later and could quickly become one of the top three entertainment giants.
Ren Kui, having seen something resembling a marriage certificate from Xing Di earlier, didn't respond immediately. It seemed her boss was indeed the Xing family's granddaughter-in-law. However, with her boss's capabilities, she didn't need to rely on the Xing family.
"My boss is very capable, you don't understand. Even if she is the Xing family's granddaughter-in-law, she's definitely not a pretty vase relying on the Xing family."
"I think you've been mesmerized by her," Ye Suhua said irritably.
Ren Kui retorted, "With my skills and abilities, would Tianhua notice me? But my boss only taught us for a week, and eight people in our class signed with Tianhua. Tianhua also invited me, but I'm not interested."
Ye Suhua felt speechless at her daughter's blind trust. She didn't want to forcefully object, but said, "Alright, you stick to your conviction. Time will tell."
Ren Kui smiled confidently, "Mom, just wait. My boss will definitely make me famous all over the internet."
Standing next to Ren Kui's family were Wang Feifei and her mother, Xu Peilin.
Wang Feifei was also surprised the moment she saw Quan Jiu: logically, Jiu Jiu shouldn't have come here voluntarily.
She felt there must be something fishy, so she sent Quan Jiu a message.
【Were you kidnapped?】
However, she knew Quan Jiu probably didn't have time to reply at the moment, so she put down her phone.
"Feifei, am I seeing things? Isn't that Jiu Jiu and Mimi Tutu? Is she the Xing family's granddaughter-in-law?" Xu Peilin looked dazed.
Wang Feifei opened her mouth, then swallowed her words. Although she didn't know why Old Master Xing suddenly intervened, she still stated the facts, "Don't guess about other people's private matters. Aren't Aunt Yuan and Uncle Chu also by Jiu Jiu's side?"
"That's why I can't figure it out." Xu Peilin was confused for a moment, then sighed, "But honestly, Jiu Jiu is so beautiful. She looks even more vibrant and attractive in person than in videos and photos. The two children are also adorable. When are you..."
Before she could finish, she felt no one beside her. Looking around, Wang Feifei had already run off somewhere.
Xu Peilin snorted: You have your plan, I have my way. She took out her phone and sent her daughter a message to continue "talking."
Jiang Guixiu overheard the conversation between the mother and daughter and didn't know how to react.
This was the third time she had seen Quan Jiu, but each time, the woman surprised her and overturned her perceptions.
The last time she was a painter, and this time, she was the Xing family's granddaughter-in-law? Which one was her true identity? Also, He Miao had said back then that she was being kept by someone, could it be the eldest grandson of the Xing family?
Jiang Guixiu's expression became complex. No matter how much she didn't want to admit it, her noble and elegant demeanor was unmatched by anyone present.
Then, she felt regret. Why did she believe He Miao's words back then? How could such a refined woman be a mistress or be kept?
If she were truly the Xing family's granddaughter-in-law, then she had offended the Xing family.
Jiang Guixiu's thoughts were in a jumble. While she was lost in thought, she suddenly caught sight of Yun Shu beside her.
She was surprised.
Previously, when she looked at Yun Shu, she only thought she was a true lady with an elegant demeanor, especially in her qipao, which made her even more graceful. She was perfect in every way.
But now, she didn't feel that way at all. It was as if, with a pearl in front, even jade seemed dull. Only the dress she wore looked a bit better...
Wait, the dress? Jiang Guixiu's mind suddenly cleared. She looked closely at the dress Yun Shu was wearing and couldn't help but murmur, "They're wearing the same outfit."
There were many noblewomen around her. Hearing her words, the ongoing discussion immediately quieted down. They couldn't help but follow her gaze towards Yun Shu.
A moment later, they realized. Yes, Yun Shu and the mysterious woman who had just appeared were wearing the exact same dress. It was just that the woman was so beautiful and outstanding, and she blended so naturally with the dress that many people hadn't noticed it.
For that woman, the dress complemented her, and she complemented the dress. But for Yun Shu, the dress overshadowed her, making everyone's eyes focus on her dress, not her.
There's no harm without comparison. In contrast, Yun Shu appeared petty, and even the dress she wore didn't have the same charm as when she first saw it. Instead, it seemed cheap and inferior.
"The dress that woman was wearing should be 'Treading Snow' from Yun Lan Pavilion," someone started.
"It does look like a dress from Yun Lan Pavilion. But Yun Lan Pavilion's dresses are all original creations. How could it be... exactly the same?" someone else began to question.
This question brought up the topic everyone had been deliberately avoiding.
Why would Fang Tianxiu Fang's dress be the same as Yun Lan Pavilion's? Could it be that Fang Tianxiu Fang was plagiarizing, as Master Bai Jing had said?
The surrounding gazes inevitably fell upon the parties involved: Yun Shu, her mother, and Fang Tian.
Yun Shu had actually noticed that their dresses were the same long ago. Although the sudden appearance of that woman, who could stand next to Brother Chu, was unbearable, what angered her even more was that the woman's dress was identical to hers.
She vaguely felt that the dress should be 'Treading Snow' from Yun Lan Pavilion, but if that were the case, then the one she was wearing was a replica.
Yun Shu felt both embarrassed and angry, glaring at Fang Tian.
Yong Cuirong even whispered to Fang Tian, "Are there any problems with your dress? I don't care about you, but if you embarrass my daughter, I will definitely shut down your Fang Tianxiu Fang."
Fang Tian, with a dark expression, insisted, "No problem. I designed this dress a long time ago, and it's the only one. But since someone is wearing an identical dress, there's only one possibility: Yun Lan Pavilion plagiarized my dress."
Yun Shu, standing beside them, felt instantly relieved upon hearing this. "Really? Did Yun Lan Pavilion plagiarize your dress?" She no longer cared about Yun Lan Pavilion, only hoping that what she was wearing wasn't fake, otherwise, she couldn't afford to lose face.
Yong Cuirong clearly thought the same as her daughter and, out of avoidance, did not question Fang Tian's words at all.
"Then expose her. She plagiarized your dress, you can't let such a person get away with it."
Anyone who stole her daughter's spotlight must be suppressed.
