Chapter 1489 - 1492: Wishing Someone Would Love Me with All Their Heart 10
He is no longer the 16-year-old boy of the Yan Family. In just a few years, the family’s arms business has truly reached its peak, and Emperor Yan has become the undisputed arms tycoon of North America. People outside respectfully address him as Young Master Empire.
"What’s this, the arms trade can’t satisfy Young Master Empire’s appetite, and now you’re setting your sights on the fashion industry?" Gu Shaocheng teased with idle interest.
Emperor Yan raised the glass in his hand: "I have a sister, a professional model, here to support her."
Just as he spoke, a girl walked out onto the stage. Gu Shaocheng followed his gaze. Which girl was it? She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen, a mixed-race girl, with long slender legs, a shapely figure, burgundy hair casually draped over her shoulders, in large waves, with a few strands falling over her forehead. She walked a circle on the runway, with an air of aloofness that truly resembled him: "Not bad-looking."
"Mr. Gu, I’d like to ask you about something."
He raised an eyebrow, indicating for him to speak directly.
"I wonder if Mr. Gu has ever heard of someone named Gu XinXin, a member of your Gu Family, who is 14 this year."
"Gu XinXin? Never heard of her. Whose child is she?"
Emperor Yan slightly frowned: "Her parents have passed away, she went missing ten years ago, and her whereabouts remain unknown. My mother and her mother were friends and arranged a child bride engagement for us. Speaking of which, she is my fiancée. She doesn’t have many relatives in this world. I’ve been looking for her for six years and haven’t found her yet. I don’t know how she’s doing now. Mr. Gu, could you help me check within the Gu Family? Maybe she was raised by the elders of the Gu Family. I later changed her name once to Gu Xiaoyao. She’s quite mischievous, so I’m not sure about the final name she uses. Maybe it’s not Gu XinXin, nor Gu Xiaoyao; perhaps she’s using another name."
In fact, he secretly investigated everyone in the Gu Family but found no trace of her. Six years have passed, and the longing in his heart has grown into a lingering concern that’s difficult to heal!
Gu Xiaoyao? Why does this name sound so familiar?
Ling Yin sat quietly next to him, pondering silently where he had heard that name before.
Three seconds later, he thought to himself: Isn’t that a trainee under Phoenix Society, part of their Charm World brand? A clever little one, often taken out by Sai Luo for fun, very pampered. It seems I heard she’s an orphan in the Gu Family whose parents have passed away.
Ling Yin pondered secretly, maintaining a calm expression, quickly getting captivated by the fashion show on stage, as he saw a design by Hua Hua worn by a male model.
Gu Shaocheng thought it over but had little impression, so he said to Emperor Yan, "I’ll check when I get back and let you know if there’s any news."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu."
The executive director reminded Gu Shaocheng of something from the side; he responded with a hum and then focused all his attention on the runway.
Hua Hua stood backstage, busily directing the models. At the moment, she was holding a needle, altering an outfit on one of the models. The needle and thread wove in and out, tying knots, then she quickly snipped the thread ends with scissors and urged, "Hurry up and get ready, don’t make any mistakes on stage!"
He was so busy that he bumped around until he was exhausted and saw stars, yet he couldn’t forget to check the professional judging panel’s reactions from the backstage entrance to the front stage.
And then, as expected, he saw Ling Yin sitting next to his brother, instantly frowning: Damn traitor, how dare you show up in front of me!
