“Hi.”
As Jiang Chen leisurely sipped his champagne and took an interest in the gossip a lady suddenly approached him.
Jiang Chen looked over subconsciously.
“Why are you sitting here alone?”
Although the event was filled with top beauties from around the world, Jiang Chen was still dazzled.
Her dark brown hair, amber eyes, thick eyelashes, and delicate yet profound features stood out.
Unlike others who were flamboyantly dressed, she wore a simple black starry mini dress.
However, simple it was not, with its hem reaching her knees and sequins embedded all over, sparkling in the night, especially the ingeniously cut V-neckline that accentuated her outstanding feminine assets, making them even more dazzling.
In the blink of an eye, she had already sat down, her natural-looking CARSLAN big eyes blinking at Jiang Chen.
Although she had a good figure, with a bust size definitely exceeding most of the won present, it was still apparent that she wasn’t very old.
A star?
Or a model?
The one thing Jiang Chen was certain of was that he didn’t recognize her, or more precisely, he had never seen her face before.
“Miss, do we know each other?”
Jiang Chen asked politely.
“Not at all.”
The lady answered naturally, “But now we do, you can call Vera.”
Jiang Chen was montarily at a loss for words.
It was said Western girls were enthusiastic and generous, and indeed it was no lie.
But since she had introduced herself, he couldn’t be rude, so quickly he also said, “Jiang Chen, it’s a pleasure to et you.”
The girl nad Vera smiled with her pair of amber eyes.
Westerners typically have more defined features than East Asians due to genetics, but God is fair.
At the sa ti, Westerners tend to have rougher skin, like larger pores and are more prone to spots, sothing even so celebrities can’t avoid.
Yet, this young lady nad Vera seed like an exception, with her pristine skin smooth as jade, as if bathed in milk.
“Jiang, are you from Shenzhou?”
She was very forward.
When it cos to a beautiful woman, a man’s attitude is almost always different.
Especially since she guessed that he was from Shenzhou instead of being from Dongying or Korea, it added a certain fondness for her in Jiang Chen’s mind.
“Yes, I’m from Shenzhou.”
Anyway, sitting around was just sitting around, and having a beautiful woman to chat with wasn’t too bad.
“How co I’ve never seen you before?”
“This is my first ti in Los Angeles.”
“Oh.”
Vera seed to realize, and propped her chin with her hand, giving Jiang Chen a sowhat unnatural gaze.
Although he was a foreigner, she didn’t have to look at him as if she was seeing a panda, right?
“I saw earlier that you ca in with Felton.”
Felton?
Jiang Chen looked at her, puzzled.
“Thomas Felton, I like to call him Felton.”
Jiang Chen was taken aback.
What on earth was this girl’s story?
After all, even Oscar-winning actors and actresses like Nicole Kidman and Adrian Brody would politely refer to Director Felton.
Jiang Chen pondered more carefully and was certain that he had never seen her on screen or in magazines.
“Right, Director Felton is my friend.”
“That must be Pei Yunxi, right?
She’s really beautiful, no wonder Felton chose her as the female lead.
Jiang, are you close with her too?”
Listening to this girl casually referring to ‘Felton’, Jiang Chen really felt odd.
The man could probably be old enough to be your grandfather.
However, Westerners differ from Easterners in this respect.
In Shenzhou, if you referred to your parents by their full nas, you’d probably get a slap in the face the next second, yet in the West, it’s not uncommon.
“Hmm.”
Jiang Chen vaguely responded.
“Do you know the brand of her dress?”
Vera asked again.
“…”
Jiang Chen was speechless.
Westerners are generous all right, but this girl was way too sociable.
And such a leap in topic, seriously?
But won love beauty, so perhaps it wasn’t surprising.
“K.E.”
Jiang Chen helped with a bit of advertising.
A large tree grows from a tiny sprout; a nine-story tower rises from a pile of earth.
Although he didn’t know the young lady’s background, looking at her grand deanor, she definitely did not seem like soone short on money.
Potential custor, indeed.
“K.E.?
I heard their owner just committed suicide; I thought they were about to go under.”
Vera mumbled on.
Jiang Chen lowered his head to sip champagne.
“Jiang, what do you do for a living?
Are you also an actor?”
Vera’s curious gaze shifted back to his face.
“No, I’m an investor.”
“Investor?”
Vera wasn’t surprised by his status as an investor, but by his youth, “Impressive.”
Jiang Chen smiled modestly and nonchalantly, “And you?”
“I’m a designer.”
Vera was frank.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen also felt astonished.
Western won generally look more mature than their actual age; he guessed that this girl was at most…
around twenty.
“Which field of design?”
“I’m a jewelry designer!”
Vera lifted her chin slightly, “My dream is to create my own jewelry brand and sell it all over the world.”
“Impressive.”
Jiang Chen admired.
Typical mutual business flattery.
But the next second Vera beca dejected, “However, right now it seems like my dream is still far away.”
“It’s okay, as long as you persist, there will co a day when it’s realized.”
“Really?”
Jiang Chen had said it casually, but who knew the other party seed to take it seriously, with amber eyes staring unwaveringly at Jiang Chen.
“Jiang, you’re the first person to support my pursuit of my dream.
Why don’t you beco my investor!”
Jiang Chen nearly sprayed out his champagne.
Beauty.
I was just being polite.
And you took it seriously?
Jiang Chen really hadn’t expected to et such a
—naive woman in such a materialistic setting.
“I’m not very familiar with the jewelry industry; I’m afraid it may not be appropriate…”
Jiang Chen cautiously said.
Vera, appearing quite mature, seed to still have the innocence of an inexperienced girl inside, quickly responding, “It’s okay if you’re not familiar, it’s enough that I am.”
“…”
A hint of disappointnt shone in Vera’s amber eyes, “Jiang, don’t you believe in ?
Don’t you believe I have the ability to beco an outstanding jewelry designer?”
Please.
Up to now, I only know your na.
How can I believe you?
Of course.
Considering the manners of an Eastern gentleman, Jiang Chen naturally wouldn’t say this aloud.
He put down his champagne.
“Miss Vera, of course I believe you can beco an excellent jewelry designer, but investing in jewelry requires a significant cost.
Without a detailed plan…
you should understand what I an.”
“I do.”
Vera imdiately nodded, “Jiang, we can find so ti to talk in detail, I can definitely provide a proposal for you.”
Jiang Chen found himself speechless once more.
They say ‘n dread a persistent maiden’; now he was beginning to grasp that feeling.
“Jiang, when do you have ti?”
Although he didn’t know whether she was a qualified jewelry designer, she would likely be very successful in sales.
She eagerly reached out to grab Jiang Chen’s hand, seemingly intent on getting a definitive answer that evening, but accidentally knocked over Jiang Chen’s champagne glass that had been placed on the table, still holding a little champagne.
“Plop…”
The stem glass tipped over, and champagne spilled out.
Because they were too close, Jiang Chen had no ti to react, and a noticeable wine stain appeared on his shirt front in an instant.
“Sorry…”
Vera hurriedly stood up, pulling out tissues to help wipe, but the more she wiped, the more it spread.
She looked up, full of apology, “Jiang, let take you inside to clean it up.”
Jiang Chen was helpless.
The stain was in such a conspicuous spot, it couldn’t be left unaddressed without seeming disheveled.
“It’s okay, I can go by myself.”
He didn’t bla her.
After all, it was an accident.
“How could that be…”
Vera was soone who took responsibility, insisting on being accountable.
Overtaken by her persistence, Jiang Chen could only follow her towards the villa.
Pei Yunxi, who was chatting with several main creators, glanced unintentionally and caught sight of Jiang Chen and Vera intimately entering the villa together.
