Chapter 235: You're very bold today (1)
“What’s the matter? Did you catch a cold?”
Lu Xun was more nervous than she was. He quickly stopped Housekeeper Zhang, who happened to walk by them, and had her make some ginger tea for Lin Yiyi. Acting like a true “master of the house”.
Giving him a cold look, Lin Yiyi was quite speechless.
If Meng Yuran was there, for sure he would have commented on that!
“I feel that my nose is a little itchy as well…”
Lu Xun rubbed his nose after the fact.
With the change of the season, and the weather switching between cold and hot, it was very easy for one to catch a cold!
“Housekeeper Zhang, can you please make that two bowls? I am going to need some as well!”
These two simple people had no idea that they were the targets of other people’s schemes.

Yuan Yao specifically set the charity ball on the same day as their company’s anniversary.
With Yuan Yao as the host, they had invited almost half of the entertainment circle and the event was well talked about.
This was a privately hosted charity ball. Mainly there would be auctions during the event and the earnings minus the expenses would be used for charity purposes.
It was an event that would bring them both profit and goodwill!
The reason Lin Yiyi wasn’t too overly excited about the event was that all attendants, regardless of your status, would have to show some sort of gestures.
Meaning, everyone would have to willingly spend a large sum of money!
It was especially true for her, the owner of a sizable film company.
Charities meant an individual or a group of individuals voluntarily performed acts that would be beneficial to victims of the unfortunate ones in the society without asking for anything in return.
That being said, let it be wealthy people or stars, most of them were only doing it for fame. Where the money went at the end; how they were spent; or how much was spent… Nobody really cared.
All said and done, building a school and donating books and other materials would have been much more pragmatic!
On the day of the event, the location was dazzling.
Just like the media had advertised from a long time ago, many stars were attending this event.
Yao Yuan had spent a lot of time on the planning of the event. Not only were there lots of stars and their friends, there were also other work partners and reporters from the media.
The red-carpet event was probably the most eye-catching part of the agenda.
When Lin Yiyi arrived, many of the top-tiered stars had already walked down the red carpet and were being interviewed in the backstage.
For a while there, the atmosphere was very lively.
She had turned down Lu Xun’s offer to pick her up.
He must be kidding. With all the paparazzi there, she wouldn’t agree to that unless she wanted to go on the most trending list again!
This night belonged to Yuan Yao. Between now and tomorrow, this charity ball would be the most talked-about event in town. And if a scandal of hers was mixed in it… Just the thought of it was awful!
“Boss Lin.”
This was not the first time she was referred to as Boss Lin. Nevertheless, she was still not used to the same title for Ms. Lin Ping being used on her.
For some inexplicable reasons, it just felt very embarrassing!
Just like her starting her own film company. It was so out of character for her.
She much preferred cooking inside a kitchen somewhere…
Thought Lin Yiyi to herself in a very unambitious way.
She had on a custom-made Burberry gown with silver sequins. Her fair and smooth back was exposed.
This was a fall-winter design with silver sequins and a long train. It was very eye-catching and the way it hugged the body along with the back showing made it a very s*xy gown.
Even though she was the CEO of a film company, her limelight arguably outshone a lot of the actresses.
She had no problem at all walking on the red carpet that was full of attractive people.
