Chapter 14 Vanya's POV I , of course , recognized the gentleman in front of me . He was the French financial titan , Ernest Glesson . Ernest's eyes held a hint of surprise and admiration . " Vanya , your French is exceptionally fluent , as if you grew up in Paris ." ( French ) I slightly inclined my body in gratitude , " You flatter me , Mr. Glesson . I heard that you recently acquired the development rights to a piece of land in southeast Los Angeles . Congratulations , I believe it will have an excellent future . " ( French ) Ernest frowned slightly , expressing some concern , " But at the moment , that land seems quite ordinary , many people don't have high hopes for it , and I have some doubts as well . " ( French ) I shook my head gently and said , " Sometimes opportunities hide where they are not favored by the masses . Believe that there will be surprising developments there soon , you need not worry too much . " ( French ) After hearing this , the gloom on Ernest's face gradually dissipated , and he firmly grasped my hand , " Your words have reassured me greatly , I hope it will be as you say . " ( French ) At this moment , my peripheral vision noticed Melinda focusing her gaze on me . I also saw that she was wearing a black dress of the same style as mine , but the effect was completely different . I received many compliments on this dress , saying that I looked noble and elegant . However , when Melinda wore it , it seemed to dim the of the dress , as if it were a common , cheap item . Melinda seemed unwilling , clenching her fists , but she still forced a smile and said , " Luna Vanya , you are really amazing . You even speak French . " I just smiled at her slightly , without responding . Cliff might remember that I know some foreign languages , but not say it . many people can speak French , so he probably didn't expect me to " But Luna Vanya , what did you just say to Mr. Glesson ? He seems very happy ." Melinda asked curiously . I replied calmly , " I just told him that the piece of land he bought at the auction the other day will definitely be developed well , so he is very happy . " " The land will be developed well … and make a lot of money ? " Melinda looked puzzled . i knew that in her eyes , that piece of land didn't seem special . " Perhaps . " I said casually . In fact , in my previous life , that piece of land was indeed developed well and sold for a high price later . The area around southeast Los Angeles will be developed into a scenic spot , and the land Mr. Glesson bought will be used for tourism development , making him a lot of money . Mr. Glesson probably anticipated that the area was about to be developed and bought the land . Melinda , obviously , did not have such a vision yet . Cliff stared at me tightly for a while , his gaze making me somewhat uncomfortable . " Why are you looking at me ? " I couldn't help but ask . Chiff slowly asked , " How do you know that place will be developed in the future ? " From his expression , it was clear that he might have known the potential of the land , but he gave up buying it , choosing to let Mr. Glesson do him a favor , which is indeed something he often does . 1/2 15 P Chapter 14 I explained earnestly , " I just said a few nice words , you are overthinking it . " Cliff frowned , as if considering whether I was lying . After all , based on his understanding of me , I don't seem likely to know what will happen to that piece of land in the future . In the end , he probably thought he was overthinking and just said , " Alright . " Then , he ignored me and took Melinda to socialize with other people . Melinda turned to leave , and before she left , she seemed quite apologetic and glanced at me . That look seemed to convey her helplessness and being in a situation beyond her control . However , I was still aware of the trace of complacency in the depths of her eyes that she could not hide . I was full of self - mockery and drained the champagne in my glass in one go . The spicy liquid slid down my throat , but it could not extinguish the bitterness in my heart . N At this banquet where everyone gathered , I had now become a pitiful abandoned woman mercilessly left in the corner by her husband .. My own husband not only resolutely abandoned me , who had just been married for not long , to accompany another woman , but also boldly brought her to this banquet , introducing her to those influential figures in the business world . I looked around , and the gazes thrown at me contained sympathy and pity . I felt very uncomfortable because I originally planned to use this opportunity to meet more elite people from high society , but with Cliff gone , it became difficult for me to approach those people . I thought to myself , how can I naturally approach them ? My gaze slowly wandered around , eventually settling on on a violin not far away . A slight smile rose at the corner of my mouth , and I already had an idea in my heart . A F ང་ ་ ་་་ ར་ ན་ ་ འར་ ཅན་ ང་ ན་ ན་ I walked lightly and gracefully to where the violin was placed , exchanged a few words with the person in charge of the musical instruments , and then picked up the violin calmly . འི་ དཀྱིད་ གསན་ བསྐུ ། ང་ ་ ཀྱི གང As the daughter of the Alpha of the Thunder Pack , I had learned many skills , and the violin was one of them . In my previous life , these studies had no to be displayed , but today , unexpectedly , they could be used here . I haven't touched the violin for a long time , and my fingers are a bit rusty , but countless practices in the past have made my muscles form memories , making it second nature . I gently placed the violin on my shoulder , pulled the bow , and the melodious sound of the violin instantly floated in the banquet , the melody complementing the atmosphere of the scene , fitting perfectly . Soon , everyone was attracted by this beautiful music and immersed themselves in it , as if time had stopped for this music . At the end of the song , warm applause thundered . Sure enough , several noble ladies with smiles on their faces walked towards me and struck up a cordial conversation with me . 2/2
