One Birth Two Treasures: The Billionaire's Sweet Love

In the event hall, Gu Xingze mingled in the crowd with his mind elsewhere. He turned a deaf ear to the people that were trying to exchange pleasantries with him.

More than 15 minutes had passed since Yun Shishi went upstairs, and he was starting to worry.

The gala had yet to officially start, but everyone was already socializing with one another. This could also be considered as part of the event's schedule.

Unfortunately, he had lost the desire to participate in this.

As the gala's attendees entertained one another, he expressionlessly remained seated on one of the VIP seats by himself. Looking from the side, his handsome eyes seemed to be sealed in ice.

With knitted brows, he lowered his eyes and narrowed them. He held a glass of red wine, which had not been drunk on for a while, and sat still for a long time.

Yang Mi saw him sitting alone and immediately left the starlets engaging her in a pleasant talk. She tidied herself up and sashayed toward him.

Halfway there, someone bumped into her shoulder and her body tipped over. She staggered and almost lost her footing.

The glass in her hand nearly smashed onto the ground.

Her face was clouded with anger. With furrowed brows, she looked to see who had crashed into her and realized that it was Han Yuyan.

The animosity she felt was somewhat reduced at the sight of her, and a polite smile blossomed on her lips instead.

"Yuyan." She pursed her lips in disdain. She was feeling indignant but had no way of venting it on the other.

The present Han Yuyan had a booming popularity, and with the Shao Group as her backer, her career was currently on an upward path. Yang Mi did not dare offend her because of these.

Han Yuyan regarded her coldly and poked fun at her, "Yang Mi, you look so wonderful and dazzling tonight!"

Yang Mi forced out a smile to conceal the awkwardness on her face and complimented her, "How can I compare to you, Yuyan? With your soaring popularity and thriving career, I'm really happy for you!"

She raised her glass and toasted to her after saying this.

Han Yuyan merely rolled her eyes and ignored her toast.

Thus, Yang Mi's hand, which was holding the glass of wine, awkwardly hung in mid-air.

"Don't think I don't know what you are scheming. How can you even match up with Xingze?"

Yang Mi innocently widened her eyes and said with a smile, "What are you talking about? I don't understand… I just really look up to Xingze!"

"Don't you dare resort to any underhanded means. It's disgusting."

"What?!" she cried out in discontent. Feigning innocence, she continued, "I really don't know what you are talking about!"

Han Yuyan mocked, "Hmph. You think I don't know that there's something wrong with the wine you are holding?"

A trace of fluster crept across her face, but she quickly schooled her features in fake composure. Acting confused, she asked, "What can be wrong with it?"

"Whether there's something wrong with it or there's none, you'll know when you take a gulp, right?" Han Yuyan sarcastically countered.

Yang Mi's face instantly flushed, and she was at a loss for words.

Surveying her with ridicule, Han Yuyan sneered. "What a schemer. You think Xingze won't be able to see through you?"

Yang Mi nonchalantly placed the glass aside and replied coolly, "I'm just copying you."

"What did you say?!" Han Yuyan flared up.

"Everyone in this industry knows how you got to your current position - by using this same trick. You think we are all fools?" she asked with contempt.

Back then, Yang Mi was originally the female lead for a drama, but her role was forcibly taken away by Han Yuyan. The latter had also relied on a glass of wine to settle everything with the investors.

In the end, with the drama becoming that year's blockbuster, she blazed her way through the movie festival and successfully clinched the title of Best Actress. She even bagged an offer to act in a Hollywood movie!

Crowned with the title of Global Female Star, Han Yuyan's popularity went through the roof!

All those things should have been hers. As such, Yang Mi bore a grudge against Han Yuyan. The two had been secretly competing with each other ever since.
