Chapter 580: Chapter 579 Who did you just mention?

Chi Ruoxi entered the competition venue, her gaze first swept the front seats, but she didn’t see Luo Qianqian, and she was momentarily stunned.

The seats with international tickets were generally situated closer to the front, making it more convenient to view the works of the various designers. Chi Ruoxi thought that the ticket Chi Yunjin had bought for Luo Qianqian should also be within that area.

Just as she was thinking about this, Chi Yunjin saw two figures move at the front VIP rows and then sit down in the very middle.

—Those were second-best VIP seats!

And those two figures… weren’t they Luo Qianqian and Chi Yunjin?!

The moment she recognized the two, Chi Ruoxi’s eyes involuntarily widened, filled with disbelief!

If you could say that those ordinary seats up front might still be purchasable with money, those VIP seats in the front certainly weren’t something money could resolve!

After all, those tickets were issued directly by the president of the International Jewelry Association to recognized big players in the jewelry circle. Even the president of the Huaxia Jewelry Association couldn’t get them!

Who exactly had Qianqian gotten to know?

Chi Ruoxi sat dazed in her own seat, her gaze crossing the rows of seats in front and focused on Luo Qianqian at the very front, her hands subconsciously clenching her skirt tightly!

At that moment, she suddenly saw Chi Gui walking in from a side door, naturally taking the empty VIP seat next to Luo Qianqian and turning his head to say something to her with a light laugh.

Sitting next to Chi Gui was Fu Si.

Seeing the two of them, Chi Ruoxi suddenly understood something and slowly relaxed her hands.

Today was only the preliminaries, with Timothy Carmen and four other internationally renowned jewelry designers as judges. They selected twenty design drawings to proceed to the semifinals, after which the competition briefly came to a close.

The semifinals would continue the next day, followed by the finals.

This interval served as rest time for the designers and judges.

Chi Gui left through the side door with Fu Si, Luo Qianqian, and Chi Yunjin.

As they walked out, she casually said, “I’m having lunch with a friend at noon. Come along.”

Both Luo Qianqian and Chi Yunjin naturally had no objections, simply assuming it was a friend Chi Gui had made in M country, and they didn’t think much of it.

Fu Si, hands in his pockets, only revealing a segment of his wrist from the sleeve cuffs, wore dark red Buddhist beads that made his skin appear even fairer.

He lazily asked, “Who is it?”

Chi Gui, “You all must have heard of him, Timothy Carmen.”

Luo Qianqian’s step faltered suddenly, almost bumping into the person behind her!

Chi Gui turned back, “What’s wrong?”

Luo Qianqian thought she had heard wrong, “Sister Chi, who did you just say?”

Chi Gui, “Timothy Carmen, the one who was just judging on stage.”

Luo Qianqian: …

Chi Yunjin: …

Fu Si looked at the two clearly shocked and petrified people, his thin lips slightly curving.

So typical of Professor Chi.

Such explosive news seemed as mundane to her as going out for a meal.

–

As soon as Chi Ruoxi came out, she was pulled aside by Zhao Yuexiu, who asked anxiously, “How did it go? Did Chi Yunjin and the others cheat their way in?”

Hearing her question, Chi Ruoxi finally snapped back to reality.

She turned her head, her expression complex as she looked at Zhao Yuexiu, paused for a moment, and couldn’t help but ask, “Auntie, why don’t you like Sister Chi Gui? Don’t you think she is outstanding?”

Zhao Yuexiu frowned, “Why bring up Chi Gui all of a sudden?”

Chi Ruoxi hesitated, still concealing the fact that Chi Gui had also appeared at the competition.

The Chi Family’s resources were not plentiful. Zhao Yuexiu adopting her was simply because she saw potential in her future in the jewelry industry.

…If Zhao Yuexiu knew that Chi Gui, her own daughter, held a higher status in the jewelry industry, she wouldn’t be able to maintain her current lifestyle…
