1067: Sick Friend 1067: Sick Friend “Mr. Consultant!”
The dinner party, already halfway through, brimmed with anticipation once again due to Fu Qian’s maneuver.
Lady Cecilia, too, was quite particular and didn’t keep the group waiting for long, soon arriving at the address given.
Still by herself, she greeted Fu Qian with a smiling “hello,” then her gaze elegantly swept across everyone’s faces as she greeted them one by one.
“Sorry to intrude!”
It seemed she felt no discomfort even though this was not a private meeting.
Though still dressed in her simple attire, Lady Cecilia, feeling exceptionally spirited due to her worsened condition, looked lively and captivating.
Having already met once, Tan Ying was somewhat at ease; others, even the well-traveled Young Master Qin, couldn’t maintain their usual light-hearted banter and greeted her earnestly.
Is this the shattered filter bought with a sacrifice of the mind?
Fu Qian watched with a series of tsk-tsks from the sidelines.
In his view, everyone present had decent mental fortitude; achieving such a stunning effect with mere good looks was still quite difficult.
Moreover, in terms of looks alone, even Tan Ying wasn’t far behind.
But the addition of a mad contrast in persona made the effect outstandingly superior.
“Sorry, we started a bit earlier, Sister Cecilia. What would you like to eat? I’ll have them prepare it.”
After the greetings, Tan Ying was the first to speak.
“I should be the one apologizing for barging in so late.”
Lady Cecilia responded with a smile and a wave of her hand.
“As for food, Mr. Consultant, do you have any recommendations?”
True to her status as a troubled heiress, she effortlessly delegated even her food choices to the consultant.
“You can ask the dining consultant for tonight.”
Unfortunately, she clearly wasn’t familiar with the idea of subcontracting as Fu Qian, without blinking, pointed towards Tan Ying.
I…
Tan Ying inwardly rolled her eyes for a moment, then with a resigned sigh, began to think.
“This is much appreciated.”
With a flawless smile, Lady Cecilia seated herself comfortably.
“What were you discussing just now?”
“Painting art, psychological age, and some other issues concerning you.”
Fu Qian recalled briefly, listing them accurately.
Are you really okay with being so open…
While everyone else was speechless, Lady Cecilia blinked in slight surprise.
Under the slightly awkward gaze of the audience, she didn’t seem as displeased as imagined.
“Among those three topics, I guess I’m somewhat better with the first.”
Her subsequent comment was indeed thought-provoking.
“After all, while not particularly talented, I do have a wide range of experiences.”
…
Given Lady Cecilia’s unusually approachable demeanor, the atmosphere quickly relaxed again.
Clearly, her self-assessment earlier contained quite a bit of modesty.
Though not talkative, her occasional insights revealed that she had indeed explored a wide range of artistic fields.
Initially merely polite, Tan Ying gradually seemed more engaged in conversation.
“She seems pretty normal!”
While the group discussed today’s gallery collections, Young Master Qin turned to Fu Qian and mouthed.
“Much appreciated.”
Fu Qian, expressionless, mouthed back the same way.
…
Aware of his style, Qin Mingze took less than half a second to realize that Fu Qian had interpreted his comment as praise for the effectiveness of his psychological counseling.
With a resigned sigh, he suddenly thought of something, snapped his fingers, and whispered a call.
“Do you remember Xu Meng?”
“Of course.”
Fu Qian recalled a certain big boss running under the sunset.
“Reliable sources say he must have gone to accompany his son.”
