"You two are up very early." Lin Ruoxi calmed herself down and tried to smile warmly. She walked into the cafe and approached the Stern siblings, asking, "Why did you call me over?"
Stern's smile became brighter and brighter with a hint of shyness.
"That … Miss Lin, do you have any money on you?" Stern asked softly.
Lin Ruoxi was stunned. If she didn't know that the siblings weren't lacking in money, Lin Ruoxi would have suspected that they were trying to extort her.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Lin Ruoxi was even more confused.
Stern chuckled and said, "It's like this. My dear and I came down for coffee in the morning, but after we drank, we remembered that our bank cards and cash were all left in the car when we were hijacked yesterday. We don't have any money at all now. This … can you … "
Looking at the siblings who were looking at her eagerly, Lin Ruoxi almost laughed out rudely. She nodded in understanding and said, "I understand. Just treat it as my treat. But you two have to contact your family. Even if you can't find the lost items, you have to send some over. "
"Miss Lin, you're the best! You're our Holy Mother Mary! "
Alice suddenly pounced forward and hugged Lin Ruoxi's neck. She kissed Lin Ruoxi on the cheek!
This was the first time Lin Ruoxi had been kissed by a woman since she was young. She was even treated as a "Holy Mother." She couldn't help but be stunned.
"Alice baby, I want a kiss too." Stern was jealous and asked for a kiss from his sister.
Alice giggled, and very generously kissed her elder brother on the lips twice.
Lin Ruoxi suddenly recalled that this pair of siblings had an indiscriminate relationship. She couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine. Her cheek that was kissed by Alice also felt a strange itch. She wasn't sure if it was a psychological effect.
After paying for the coffee for the siblings, Lin Ruoxi was about to say goodbye to them, but Alice seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Miss Lin, are you going to the fashion week launch?"
Lin Ruoxi nodded. "I'm the invited manufacturer's representative. What about you two?"
"Hehe, I knew it. Yu Lei International is one of the biggest fashion companies in Asia, so we'll definitely participate," Alice clapped her hands happily and said, "We're also invited representatives of our family, but Miss Lin, we don't have a car anymore, we don't have a driver, and we don't have any money … You see … We …"
Looking at Alice's bashful face and Stern's expectant expression, Lin Ruoxi found it a little funny. Although this pair of siblings were a little 'messy', they were, to be honest, very cute.
"Did you guys decide to wait for me downstairs early in the morning?" Lin Ruoxi joked.
Stern's face was full of panic as he widened his eyes. "No, no, no. We were just trying our luck. If we met someone we knew, we would randomly capture them …"
"Brother!"
Alice's almond-shaped eyes widened as she interrupted Stern's words. She lowered her voice and said, "Why did you say the truth …"
Stern looked embarrassed as he scratched his head awkwardly.
The siblings' performance was like a farce, making Lin Ruoxi feel much better as she watched from the side.
"If that's the case, if you two don't mind, please come with me. I don't have a companion anyway, so we can chat together." Lin Ruoxi didn't mind building a relationship with the Cromwell family. After all, it would be helpful to the company's business in Europe.
Naturally, the Stern siblings were elated. They flattered Lin Ruoxi again before walking out of the hotel together with Lin Ruoxi.
Goodman prepared a black Maybach 62 for Lin Ruoxi. The original Bentley had suffered quite a bit of damage and had been sent for maintenance. However, compared to the Bentley, the price of the two Maybachs was a notch higher, and they looked more luxurious and graceful.
The three of them sat in the car. As the host, Lin Ruoxi naturally gave the siblings the back seat and sat in the front passenger seat.
After fastening her seatbelt, Lin Ruoxi said to the driver, "Go to Du Leli."
"Yes, ma 'am," the driver's voice sounded a little familiar.
Lin Ruoxi raised her head abruptly and was shocked to find that the driver was none other than Yang Cheng, who had just angered her!
Yang Cheng changed into a formal suit and tie and sat in the driver's seat. He wasn't eye-catching to begin with, so she didn't realize it was him when he entered the car.
When Lin Ruoxi wanted to alight, the car had already started and drove out of the hotel.
"Stop the car and get out," Lin Ruoxi said through gritted teeth.
Of course, Yang Cheng wouldn't listen to her obediently. He searched for the address of Du Leli Garden on the GPS on the car's dashboard and said, "Dear, they have guests sitting in the back. It's not good to argue."
Lin Ruoxi then realized that the siblings, Stern and Alice, were looking at her with "gossipy" eyes, as if they wanted to know why she was so dissatisfied with Yang Cheng.
Being stared at by others, Lin Ruoxi could only endure it for now. She looked at the street in front angrily and ignored Yang Cheng.
Du Leli Garden used to be a private leisure place for the royal family. Located between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde, there were many statues and it was known as an open-air museum.
Because one side of the garden was next to the world-famous Seine River, sitting by the big pond in the garden or drinking a cup of fragrant Blue Mountain coffee at an open-air cafe was the best experience to experience Parisian leisure.
Chestnut trees, lime trees, and colorful flowers brought tranquility to Du Leli Garden. The bronze sculptures added a solemn atmosphere, and the overall neat and refreshing landscape design was typical of French gardens.
Because of Fashion Week, everything in and out of the garden was busier than usual. The police sent out a large number of police officers to ensure that the distinguished guests could safely enjoy every fashion show.
After Yang Cheng drove the car to the exclusive parking area for VIPs, the four of them got out of the car and walked towards the garden's gate.
Before they reached the gate, polite security guards walked up to them and asked them to show their invitations and a series of IDs. Then, they sent out male and female security guards to check if the four of them were carrying any dangerous items.
Alice was a little dissatisfied with her body being touched by the female security guard. She pouted and said, "It seems that the Paris municipal government was scared by the kidnappers. There weren't so many checks during last year's Fashion Week."
"For the sake of safety, this is what we should do. We can't just kill one wave of kidnappers and another wave of kidnappers, am I right, Babe Ruoxi?" Yang Chen smiled and winked at Lin Ruoxi who had an indifferent expression.
Lin Ruoxi completely ignored Yang Cheng. After the security guards finished their search, she took the lead and walked through the gate.
Stern was very interested as he approached Yang Chen. "Mr Yang, did something happen between you and Miss Lin? I'm the most knowledgeable when it comes to relationships between men and women. You can tell me about it, and I'll tell you how to solve it."
Yang Cheng was not surprised by Lin Ruoxi's reaction. He knew that she would be like this. His previous "cold war" experience made him fully prepared.
Hearing Stern's words, Yang Chen reached out his hand and patted his shoulder with a smile. "Brother, I think your experience between men and women is useless to me. This one here isn't my biological sister."
Stern touched his chin and asked, "What's the difference?"
"There's a big difference," Yang Cheng said seriously.
Stern had a serious expression on his face. "Then I will find time to study it."
"Do you want to see Satan, damn you, Stern?!"
Alice, who heard the conversation between the two, suddenly used all her strength. She pinched Stern's cheeks and pulled them to both sides fiercely. She shouted, "If you dare to find another woman to experiment with behind my back, you're finished!"
"No, no! You are the only one I will ever love, my dearest sister Alice! "Stern cried out in a loud voice, begging for mercy.
This scene instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding guests. Many of them whispered to each other, but their voices still reached Yang Chen's and the others' ears.
"Are they the brother and sister from the Cromwell Family?"
"That's them. It's a pity for this handsome man and beautiful woman."
"Hmph, they really have no sense of shame, ruining the reputation of their ancestors …"
"The disgrace of the nobles …"
Hearing the discussions around him, Yang Cheng grinned. "It seems that you siblings are quite well-known."
"Of course." Stern shook his head proudly. He held Alice's arm and walked into the garden with his head held high. He did not care about the gazes of others.
Yang Cheng was not someone who cared about these things. Together with the Stern siblings, he caught up with Lin Ruoxi. The four of them arrived at the exhibition stage of the fashion show.
The morning sun was warm and beautiful. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers. The shuttling of guests and waiters made the entire open-air venue seem busy and orderly.
Rows of white chairs were placed along the stage, from the front to the back, from near to far. They were all placed in a particular order. The distinguished guests of high status naturally sat at the front, while the ordinary representatives of the manufacturers and celebrities could only sit at the back.
After Lin Ruoxi showed her identification, she was led by a white waitress to the first row in front of the exhibition stage. Although it was not the centermost seat, it was still the highest-class seat.
Lin Ruoxi sat in the front row, which seemed to have surprised the Stern siblings. Alice couldn't help but exclaim, "I heard that Yu Lei International's new materials took a leading position in the world this year, but I didn't expect it to have reached this point. Miss Lin is really an outstanding entrepreneur at such a young age. It's amazing. "
Everyone liked to hear compliments. To Lin Ruoxi, she didn't care too much about others praising her beauty because it was something she was born with. She was already used to it. However, she was still very happy to hear others complimenting her work achievements. Thus, she smiled and said, "Thank you." Then, she asked politely, "Where are the two of you?"
Stern pointed to the seat next to Lin Ruoxi and said, "What a coincidence, it's right next to Miss Lin."
With the strength of the Cromwell family, Lin Ruoxi did not find it strange that they could sit in the first row. She smiled and nodded, then sat down.
As Lin Ruoxi's "attendant", Yang Cheng, of course, did not receive such good treatment. Under the instructions of the waitress, he sat in the row behind Lin Ruoxi, playing the role of an assistant. Yang Cheng did not mind. For him, following Lin Ruoxi and finding opportunities to appease Lin Ruoxi's dissatisfaction with him was his top priority.
However, the four of them had just sat down for less than ten seconds when a few unfamiliar figures suddenly walked in front of Lin Ruoxi and stood still.
