Chapter 710: The Business Banquet, Part 2
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Charlene took the box and placed it on the table. She opened it and was stunned. There was a gorgeous dress in the box. It was cream-colored and suited her age and skin tone.
The design of the dress was very unique. It combined both eastern and western elements. It looked noble and elegant but was exquisite at the same time, very befitting of the designer. No wonder so many people liked the brand.
Charlene touched the fabric with her hand. She didn’t know what material it was made of, but the dress felt smooth and soft. What was more unbelievable was the jewel encrusted neck and waistlines.
“Wow.” Charlene covered her mouth in surprise. This dress was too beautiful.
Even Charlene, who was familiar with couture fashion, was shocked.
All girls liked beautiful clothes. As she looked at the dress, she was already imagining the sensation she would cause when wearing it in public.
…..
Inside the grand ballroom of Aida Hotel…
A crystal chandelier hung high on the ceiling in the middle of the room, creating a kaleidoscope of colors around the room.
A few long tables covered in white tablecloth spanned the width of the ballroom. Silverware and all kinds of tempting hors d’oeuvres had been set up on those tables.
Around the room were French businessmen and socialites, all dressed to the nines. Various perfumes lingered in the air as they moved around the room.
It was truly a grand banquet. Charlene held her father’s arm as they sauntered into the ballroom. For a moment, the room went silent.
After a while, a socialite started whispering, “Wow, the dress that Charlene is wearing is by a designer who won the most prestigious award in the latest Paris Fashion Week. Even if you have money, you won’t be able to wear it.”
Each dress was unique, and that was why they were so valuable.
Many socialites wracked their brains to get a dress like that, but the designer himself had said that every dress was a masterpiece and he would never make a second one in the same design.
Charlene enjoyed being the center of attention. She walked in with her head held up high, like a beautiful white swan. She didn’t falter despite all the eyes on her. She just moved with determination and confidence, making her even more beautiful and charming.
Charlene let go of her father’s arm after they walked in and started looking around. Has her Brother Gu arrived?
Because the banquet location was printed on the invitation and she had reminded Mr. Zhang of the address repeatedly when he came to pick up the invitation…
Actually, Gu Shaoting was there a little earlier than them. When he arrived, he got himself a glass of champagne and was about to look for Mr. John when several socialites surrounded him.
“Sir, you look unfamiliar. May I know your name? Can we be friends?” These Westerners were really friendly.
Gu Shaoting nodded and said, “Gu Shaoting.”
He didn’t say more, as if his words were worth their weight in gold.
The socialites looked at each other and then at the handsome man in front of them. He was wearing an expensive tailored suit that was completely creaseless. His dark brown eyes were captivating, and his thin lips were slightly curled up.
All the unmarried women at the party were interested.
“Sorry, I’m married and I love my wife.” Gu Shaoting made his stance clear.
The few socialites left in disappointment and embarrassment.
At this moment, Charlene saw clearly that the person they surrounded was Gu Shaoting.
She slowly walked up to him and called out shyly, “Brother Gu.”
Gu Shaoting didn’t look surprised like the other guests. He simply said, “Oh, you’re here.”
