Chapter 1424: If There’s a Chance, Let Them Meet
However, playing tricks in front of her disgusted her.
Everyone knew that Bei Lei and Bei Xi were her granddaughters, but this was only known in Country Y. Few people overseas knew about it.
Naturally, someone wanted to know. She had never thought of hiding their existence.
However, out of selfishness, she did not hold a coronation ceremony for them, nor did she announce to the world that they were the princesses of Country Y’s royal family.
Now, at a state banquet where important envoys from all over the world were gathered, she actually used this trick to announce her identity as the princess of Country Y.
It was a surprise for her…
Was this the time to surprise her?
As the host, she was the one who invited others. Now, she wanted to give her a surprise?
She watched calmly as Bailey stood up and walked towards the stage with her beautiful dress.
When she went up the stairs, she saw Shen Fanxing standing behind the scenes. She gave her an elegant and polite smile, but the provocation in her smile made Shen Fanxing not know whether to laugh or cry.
These two sisters were indeed sisters with Yuan Sichun.
The sense of superiority that she exuded was really overwhelming.
She pursed her lips and smiled silently. She turned her head slightly and raised an eyebrow when she saw a small ensemble walking up the stage.
Bailey walked to the center of the stage and bowed to the audience. Then, she walked to the piano and sat down slowly.
After the applause, Bailey raised her slender hand and placed it on the piano keys.
The melodious sound of the piano slowly sounded, followed by the sound of instruments playing.
Hearing the tune, Shen Fanxing smiled.
“What a Jasmine.” It was one of the classic Chinese music.
However, it had to be said that there was a reason why foreign artists liked her so much.
It was a gift for Queen Yulia.
Queen Yulia had the blood of her countrymen flowing in her veins. She had been in Country Y all year round and had a deep love for the traditional culture in the country.
After being by Queen Yulia’s side for so many years, how could she not tell?
However, for people like them who had never lived in the country since they were young, other than the moon representing their hearts, they couldn’t come up with any other songs.
It wasn’t too difficult, but the rhythm and smooth cooperation created a beautiful and romantic atmosphere.
After the song ended, even the applause from the audience slowly regained their senses.
Bailey stood up and held the sides of her dress as she bowed with a smile.
The special reporters present froze a few images.
Bailey stood in the middle of the stage.
The way Bailey sat at the crystal-covered piano and played.
Bailey stood up and bowed.
Every one of them was as beautiful as a painting.
The applause intensified.
“She’s the queen’s granddaughter?” someone whispered.
“I heard that he’s proficient in the four arts. He’s almost an all-rounder.”
“That’s not all. They know a lot. This is nothing.”
“As expected of the granddaughter of the royal family…”
Whether it was a superficial compliment or sincere admiration, all of them sounded pleasant.
The smile on Bailey’s face didn’t change. She maintained her composure and walked back to Queen Yulia’s side amidst the enthusiastic applause.
“Grandma, I learned this specially for you. Do you like it?”
Queen Yulia nodded calmly. “Yes, I like Country Z’s culture.”
Not because he liked how she played, but because he liked Country Z’s culture.
The corners of Bailey’s lips stiffened before she smiled and said,
“… As long as you like it.”
Queen Yulia said nothing.
The emcee went on stage again. Behind the curtain, the staff carried the piano that Bei Lei had just played and replaced it with the ordinary black piano that Shen Fanxing had used during the rehearsal.
Although it was ordinary, it was probably only comparable to Bei Lei’s piano. After all, it was a state banquet held by the royal family. How could the piano be bad?
But this contrast…
It was too obvious.
After the emcee gave a simple announcement, Shen Fanxing walked onto the stage slowly.
She was wearing an evening gown that Bo Jinchuan had specially prepared for her. The V-neckline had a Chinese-style collar design. The champagne-colored gown was hand-embroidered and looked lifelike. Golden lace flowers decorated the gown. The elegant dress swayed elegantly as she walked. A pair of flat shoes of the same color were hidden in the long dress.
She was outstanding and low-profile. She was simple and elegant.
Her long hair was also tied up behind her head, and her sideburns and bangs fell elegantly on both sides. Her facial features were exquisite, and there seemed to be a hint of coldness and heroism in her eyes. It was just a few steps from backstage, but an indescribable aura made everyone present hold their breaths.
It was indescribable. It was as if coldness and arrogance flowed from her bones and blood. She seemed to have a domineering aura that made people submit to her, but it also made people feel that she was gentle and unapproachable. They could clearly sense a warm aura from her.
There were whispers below the stage—
“This is Star. I know that the brat in my family is crazy about her… But I’m still very relieved that he wants to find a wife like her.”
“My daughter is working hard every day because she once threatened to become someone like Star.”
The two of them looked at each other. After a while, they picked up their glasses and clinked them lightly. “Let’s meet when there’s a chance.”
“…”
“I’ve heard too much about her in the past. She can revive a company and destroy it with her own hands. Then, she turned around and created her own company. This woman is smart and scheming.”
“Yes, he’s not simple. Otherwise, how could he take down the young and promising CEO of the Bo Consortium?”
“Ah! Now that you mention it, it’s really…”
…
It was time for Bei Lei to perform on stage. When it was Bei Xi’s turn, she was already unhappy. Now that she saw Shen Fanxing, who was the center of attention, and the comments of the people around her, she was even more furious.
She had suffered a lot from Shen Fanxing today. It was fine if she didn’t see her, but the moment she saw her, she felt as though worms were crawling all over her body. She wanted to find an opportunity to get back at Shen Fanxing. It would be best if she could embarrass her once and for her to vent her anger.
However, this was a national banquet. If Shen Fanxing lost face on stage, Country Y’s reputation wouldn’t be any better.
But she had to admit that she wasn’t that magnanimous.
