"I see. Then I’ve said too much."
Yun Zijin didn’t take the bait, so Cheng Yushu had no choice but to drop the subject.
"By the way, do you guys have any idea why the Situ family came back to Hua Country?"
A powerful family that practically calls all the shots in France suddenly says they’re expanding their business to Hua Country. It’s obvious their motives aren’t simple.
Tu Tutu was genuinely curious, and she didn’t hesitate to ask about it right there at their own party.
Hearing Tu Tutu’s question, Yun Zijin raised an eyebrow slightly.
’Part of the reason the Situ family returned to expand their business is probably to find Situ Wenze’s aunt’s daughter.’
’On the other hand, they probably genuinely want to break into the Hua Country market.’
’After all, Hua Country is the second most populous nation in the world. The market here is huge.’
’As long as they find the right approach, it’s basically a guaranteed win.’
"I’m not sure. Don’t tell me you have some inside scoop?"
Su Mengyao didn’t notice the change in Yun Zijin’s expression. She shook her head in response to Tu Tutu.
"I heard... the Situ family is back to find a long-lost member of their clan!"
Yun Zijin glanced at Tu Tutu. ’I can’t believe her gossip is actually pretty reliable.’
"Where did you hear that?"
Yun Zijin really hadn’t expected that Tu Tutu, with her harmless-looking baby face, would actually have such a reliable intelligence network.
"Hehe... Who do you think I am? I’m Tu Tutu, Dijing’s resident know-it-all!"
Tu Tutu grinned smugly, showing no trace of the typical Dijing socialite Yun Zijin was used to.
But that was as good as saying nothing. She just called herself a know-it-all without revealing where she actually got her information.
Not that Yun Zijin planned to press her for details. The fact that Tu Tutu could come up with this kind of information meant her network was something to be reckoned with.
"Is your source even reliable?"
Su Mengyao, however, was full of doubt. Clearly, this wasn’t the first time she’d been burned by Tu Tutu’s "intel."
The title "Dijing’s resident know-it-all" was more than a little exaggerated.
When it came to guaranteeing its authenticity, Tu Tutu fell silent. She had only heard some gossip, and she certainly couldn’t vouch for its accuracy.
Seeing Tu Tutu’s expression, Su Mengyao knew it was probably another dead end.
"Just as I thought. ’Resident know-it-all’? I think ’resident phony’ is more like it."
Su Mengyao had completely lost all faith in Tu Tutu’s "inside scoops."
Yun Zijin blinked. ’I know the answer, but I can’t say anything right now.’
Neither Su Mengyao nor Tu Tutu noticed Yun Zijin’s expression. The two of them were huddled together, chatting about which brands had released new bags and new color palettes.
Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua kept trying to strike up a conversation with Yun Zijin, but she shut them down every time.
The two of them sensed the change in Yun Zijin’s attitude and, in the end, could only give up and retreat into silence.
By the time Lu Yunque finally managed to extricate himself, the banquet was nearly over.
Yun Zijin and Tu Tutu exchanged contact information and made plans to go shopping and hang out together in the future.
When Lu Yunque came over to find Yun Zijin, he was greeted by the sight of Tu Tutu and Su Mengyao enthusiastically taking photos of her with their phones.
After they had been chatting for a while, Tu Tutu had started gushing over Yun Zijin’s gown.
Prompted by Tu Tutu, Su Mengyao also noticed how special Yun Zijin’s gown was, and her eyes instantly lit up.
Yun Zijin brushed them off with the excuse that it was custom-made and one-of-a-kind.
