After regaining control of her body, she begins by hypnotizing the young master of the Beijing elite

"There seem to be rumors circulating on Weibo about misunderstandings about Gu Qingyan!" President WL's face was grim as he took the phone from his assistant and opened the trending topics, which were filled with insults.

"Get out here right now and kneel down to apologize to your father, @WL brand!! @Gu Qingyan!!"

Sheng Xuanyue's apology brought netizens' hostility towards Gu Qingyan to its peak.

Xie Wanyan also took out her phone, looking at the rambling press releases online. Her usually calm and elegant expression suddenly turned cold. "Gu Qingyan is Sheng Xuanyue's sister??"

A CEO who had gotten wind of the situation said, "I heard that the Sheng family sponsored Gu Qingyan's schooling and adopted her as their daughter, so... the comments online are now at two extremes."

The CEO of WL Dragon Kingdom, his eyes blazing with anger, said, "Are they questioning our intelligence? Or are they insulting our judgment?"

The CEOs sitting together didn't look too good.

Xie Wanyan hurriedly grabbed the waiter next to her and asked in a cold voice, "Where did Gu Qingyan go?"

The waiter pointed nervously to a corner, "The restroom!"

Xie Wanyan walked quickly toward the passage.

Without a second thought, President WL followed Xie Wanyan's footsteps, tightening his grip on his phone.

Everyone was keeping a close eye on the big shots in the front row. Suddenly, the two men walked through a group of artists with somewhat somber expressions, and people started discussing them.

"Holy crap! What's going on? Why is Actress Xie suddenly looking so dark-faced...?"

"Is that the CEO of WL behind him? His expression is a bit unusual, like he's about to start a fight... Are they heading towards the passageway? Gu Qingyan just went that way too?"

"Gu Qingyan is probably doomed... that person looks like he's going to tear her apart."

Everyone was gloating, and countless eyes were fixed on the direction of the passageway.

Jiang Yan was talking to Gu Qingyan with a serious expression when Xie Wanyan rushed over there.

The next moment, the woman's cold yet beautiful brows were filled with a violent and irritable aura that seemed to overflow. Her eyes were slightly lowered, making people feel cold and hesitant to approach.

Even though they were quite a distance apart, Xie Wanyan could clearly feel the low pressure and cold, oppressive atmosphere emanating from Gu Qingyan.

Suddenly, Gu Qingyan turned her head and looked over, her icy gaze fixed on Xie Wanyan and President WL.

Xie Wanyan had a strange feeling that the icy coldness was shooting straight at her brow, swift and precise, giving her no chance to breathe.

This powerful sense of oppression was even greater than that of their old man.

Xie Wanyan tightened her grip and stood in front of her, "Have you seen Gu Qingyan's trending topic?"

Gu Qingyan held a slender cigarette between her fingers, the flame flickering and the smoke rising gradually. She turned around and leaned against the railing, looking rather unsteady.

"Hmm." The cigarette glowed and then went out, and the patience in his eyes was slowly disappearing.

The president of EL quickly stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Ms. Gu, we will give you an explanation for this matter. We are very sorry for not being able to come out in time!"

Those who had been craning their necks to watch the spectacle gasped in astonishment at how respectfully President WL treated Gu Qingyan.

It's unclear who spoke first.

"What? Why is President WL being so respectful to Gu Qingyan? Wearing fake jewelry and parading around like that, shouldn't Gu Qingyan apologize and then retire from the entertainment industry?"

Sheng Xuanyue stared blankly at everything, her legs feeling like lead, her face filled with disbelief, unable to understand how things could have turned out this way!

When the reporters realized that things weren't going as they expected and seemed rather unusual, they quickly grabbed their short and long lenses, and the scene was filled with the clicking of cameras.

Then, the WL president beckoned to the person in charge of the banquet and said something to them. The latter then respectfully led him to the auction stage and left with the host.

Sheng Xuanyue had a bad feeling for some reason. She picked up her phone and sent a message, feeling extremely flustered.

[Sheng Xuanyue: Is everything settled?]

[Chi Cheng: I've already had them clean up the mess; this matter will absolutely not be traced back to us!]

I glanced at the reply over there, and I still felt uneasy.

"Regarding the false reports online, I would like to take this opportunity to clarify that the jewelry worn by Ms. Gu Qingyan is our latest haute couture piece from WL this month, and it is not fake. I hope that all media friends will publish this statement verbatim." Every word was a clear clarification.

Despite it being a scandal involving an insignificant celebrity, the president of WL personally stepped forward to clarify it, making Gu Qingyan the focus of everyone's attention.

Sheng Xuanyue was hit hard, wasn't that a joke?

How could this be... How could Gu Qingyan's jewelry be real?

That jewelry was clearly made by someone else on her behalf!

Which part of the process went wrong?

Just as Sheng Xuanyue stood up, intending to leave the scene to find out the truth,

"Miss Sheng Xuanyue..."

A polite voice, transmitted through the microphone, resounded throughout the entire banquet hall.

Sheng Xuanyue couldn't leave now. Her heart leaped into her throat. She clenched her hands tightly and looked up in a panic.

She felt she had to leave now, but her legs wouldn't obey her, and she kept looking at the stage.

The lighting was excellent, but she didn't dare look at President WL's expression.

The CEO of WL looked at Sheng Xinyue and continued, "You said on Weibo that you asked someone to borrow the jewelry for Miss Gu Qingyan? How did you know that the jewelry your studio lent you was definitely fake? And why did you confirm it on Weibo and then apologize?"

In full view.

The president of WL spoke sharply and mercilessly.

The reporters became even more excited, Kuku pressed the shutter, and a large number of people flooded into the live broadcast room.

She deliberately made fake jewelry for Gu Qingyan, making her wear the same style as Xie Wanyan, and then she arranged for online trolls to stir up trouble and have her fans attack Gu Qingyan.

If Gu Qingyan offends Xie Wanyan and WL Jewelry, then her career in the entertainment industry is completely over.

This was her plan.

But things are not going according to her plan and are completely out of her control.

The people present were all shrewd. After hearing what the WL president said and considering Sheng Xuanyue's actions, they understood perfectly well that Xie Wanyan wasn't wearing WL brand jewelry, but Gu Qingyan was.

How did Sheng Xuanyue determine that the jewelry was fake, and why did she personally apologize on Weibo before even confirming it?

Doesn't this mean they're implicitly admitting that the one on Gu Qingyan's neck is fake?

All eyes, burning with desire, fell upon Sheng Xuanyue.

Everyone tacitly understood each other, and the way they looked at Sheng Xuanyue slowly changed, carrying a hint of mockery.

How could Sheng Xuanyue, who has climbed to the position of a second-tier celebrity so quickly, possibly be a simple and kind-hearted innocent girl?

I never expected that a rich young lady like her would not let go of a student she was sponsoring.

Sheng Yanyue desperately suppressed the panic in her eyes, bit her lip lightly, her eyes slightly red, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my sister is often embroiled in scandals. I was just worried about her and wanted to help her. Also, those marketing accounts on Weibo said that the colors were different and the styles were different, so I mistakenly thought that there was a problem with the jewelry I borrowed for my sister. I just wanted to resolve this matter as soon as possible so that my sister wouldn't be afraid anymore."

A perfect explanation, every word of which was for Gu Qingyan's good.
