"She’s currently in Paris, and probably won’t be back for a while,"
Qin Mu replied with a smile, actually feeling a bit nostalgic for Xiaoi, but still prioritizing her master’s health.
"I see!"
The executive nodded, standing side by side with her in the elevator.
"Has everyone had breakfast this morning?"
"So had breakfast with Miss Jing, while the rest were in their rooms, mostly in groups of three or five, and so alone,"
the executive responded.
Qin Mu nodded after hearing this. On hearing that Jing Qing had invited people for breakfast, her keen gaze lifted slightly, and then she made a request, "Would you please have the staff send morning tea to the guests still in their rooms and prepare a delicate gift for their rooms as well?"
"Sure, the cars arranged for tonight are all according to Mr. Mu’s instructions, all top-level treatnt, so you can rest assured about that,"
the executive promised, also ntioning the car arrangents.
"Thank you for the hard work!"
Qin Mu nodded and gave a sincere smile of gratitude.
Latterly, Qin Mu also visited the rooms of several influential and familiar guests. Three won in their thirties were gathered in one of their rooms chatting. She had the tea sent there, providing them sothing to do, and they insisted she sit on the sofa and join them for a cup of tea and a chat.
After she finally took her leave from them, she happened to et Miss Wang and the editor-in-chief of Queen magazine from Beijing, just coming back from the tea restaurant. Upon eting, they paused briefly before smiling and greeting each other.
"Miss Wang, Editor Zhang, thank you both for honoring us with your presence,"
Qin Mu approached, exchanging pleasantries with a smile.
"Miss Qin, how co you’re back here?"
"I just happened to have so free ti and decided to visit so old friends who’ve co from afar. I heard Editor Zhang and Miss Wang were invited by Miss Jing for tea, so I didn’t want to intrude,"
Qin Mu said softly, her candid and distant gaze proportionate to each other.
"If Miss Qin is free now, perhaps we could chat in my room?"
Editor Zhang, who knew sothing about Qin Mu since she had interviewed JY two years ago and therefore had a good impression of her, suggested this, and Qin Mu also nodded, "Sure!"
"Miss Wang, if you’re free, please join us."
"Sure!"
Miss Wang, who preferred tranquility, was delighted at the rare opportunity to discuss fashion with Editor Zhang and Qin Mu, so she readily agreed.
The three of them proceeded to Editor Zhang’s room. Upon sitting down, Editor Zhang said, "Jing Qing gets more and more inscrutable. She used to be so aloof that interviewing her was akin to overcoming a gauntlet of challenges, but now she suddenly cos to chat and have breakfast with us."
"Do you two have so kind of grievance?"
Miss Wang also inquired.
Upon hearing Editor Zhang’s comnt, Qin Mu was not in a position to say much. However, after Miss Wang asked, Qin Mu couldn’t help but laugh softly, saying only, "I suppose so!"
It’s probably common knowledge among the elite of Rongcheng that the young lady of the Jing Family and the golden girl of Qin City had a falling out over Chen Shao.
"Over Chen Shao?"
Editor Zhang asked.
Miss Wang didn’t speak, she simply observed Qin Mu quietly.
Qin Mu’s eyes flickered slightly before she calmly said, "I believe so. I’ve heard they were quite close before I returned."
"Sweat! Jing Qing sure is delusional. If Chen Shao really had feelings for her, why wouldn’t he have brought up marriage after all these years? Even the news of their supposed engagent ca from the Jing Family, not the Mu Family. Does she really think she can fool everyone?"
Editor Zhang had long been fed up with Jing Qing’s diva behavior. Their magazine once wanted to feature Jing Qing as a cover queen, but not even the most humble of invitations could secure her presence.
"I’m also quite curious. It’s been said that Chen Shao and Miss Qin went abroad to study together when they were younger and later had a daughter. Especially since you moved into the Mu Family’s house recently, why haven’t you two married?"
Miss Wang asked with curiosity, her inky eyes fixed on Qin Mu.
Qin Mu instinctively touched the ring on her finger, feeling a bit nervous sitting in front of two ladies with such keen perception, especially since Editor Zhang was the magazine editor; so things she dared not say casually. She subconsciously looked towards Editor Zhang, "I wonder if the things we discuss here today, Editor Zhang, could be kept from the press?"
Editor Zhang straightened her back, gazing at Qin Mu’s sharp eyes then at Miss Wang sitting beside her, before clapping her hands generously, "Fine, let’s regard today’s conversation as a chat among sisters. I promise not to let it out."
