Hearing the explanation from the system, Gu Xiqiao's heart finally calmed down from the surge of panic she felt. Knowing the whole story now, it wasn't necessary to feel so much fear.
Jiang Shuxuan returned to his seat, and after taking his seat, he moved a plate of fruit that was in front of him to Gu Xiqiao.
The female model that was sitting beside Wang Lixin hated the sight in an instance. She wasn't very old, but her debut period had been very long. Being in the circle for such a long time, she had naturally conformed to the methods that they used to survive in it. Although the gold mine that she had found wasn't great in the looks department and had a bad temper, she could endure as long as she had a steady source of resources for herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get to where she was today.
After these few days of following Wang Lixin, she had also gotten to know Jiang Shuxuan. Although she didn't have a chance to speak to him, she knew his background, his worth, young, handsome, and he was the biggest catch in this circle. No one had seen him bring any partner before, and suddenly this young girl was brought out. The female model couldn't tell whether she should be jealous or envious.
She gave Gu Xiqiao a look of contempt, categorizing her as those girls who were kept and sheltered.
"Little sister, you've new to all this mingling, aren't you." She wasn't that far from Gu Xiqiao, just stretching out her hand, she would be able to touch her. She handed Gu Xiqiao a glass of wine that had something added in., "Big sister will treat you to a glass."
Gu Xiqiao looked up at her, taking the offered glass silently, but not drinking it, just holding it in her hand.
The female model gave a cold expression. They were all here to be flaunted, what was there to be acting all high and mighty about. She looked at Jiang Shuxuan who didn't look up at all during the exchange, and felt that the girl didn't seem to be the type that he would like at all. With that thought, she stood up to walk to Gu Xiqiao's side.
"What's wrong, you don't like this?" She said, bringing the glass up to Gu Xiqiao's lips.
At the same time, the formation in Gu Xiqiao's hands been completed and had materialized, the chi in her body surging outwards.
[Ding! 20 points deducted! The host has received a bonus for the first time completion of a formation!]
What Gu Xiqiao couldn't see was that her formation had already taken effect, with a cloud of black smoke coming out from Wang Lixin's head. The black smoke gave off a chilling cold effect, and when it floated out, the area around it was covered with a layer of white mist.
Part of the black smoke dissipated, while another part spread out through the room, and some of it stopping when it encountered Gu Xiqiao, and slowly disappeared.
Gu Xiqiao couldn't see any of this, but Jiang Shuxuan saw it clearly with his own eyes. He turned to look at Gu Xiqiao with a slightly stunned expression.
The female model, seeing that Gu Xiqiao was ignoring her, felt the annoyance building up within her. Casting a glance to see that Jiang Shuxuan was giving Gu Xiqiao quite a focused look, she felt pleased, that was her ticket to get out of this, right?Feeling more and more that she was being reasonable about this, the female model straightened her posture so that her breasts were slightly more pushed up and more cleavage was visible, she whined. "Master Jiang, what kind of partner have you brought out?"
Slap!
Jiang Shuxuan reached out to slap away the glass held in the female model's hand. Reaching out, he gently took Gu Xiqiao and led her out of the box. Since the matter had been resolved, there was no reason for him to stay any longer.
