Enraged, Huo Chaosheng hung up on Lin Shanchu.
Lin Shanchu held the phone in front of her and said innocently, “He hung up the phone. ”
“Teacher Alec won’t get mad, will he?” He Xiang asked worriedly.
Qi Cheng reminded Lin Shanchu cautiously, “Shanshan… why don’t you be more polite to Alec?”
Huo Chaosheng quickly sent someone to deliver the gown.
The moment Lin Shanchu saw the packaging of the gown, she had a sense of foreboding.
He Xiang caressed the packaging of the gown. “As expected of Teacher Alec. His taste is really extraordinary. Even the box of the gown looks so retro, sophisticated and high-quality…”
When Lin Shanchu opened the box and saw the qipao inside, she laughed at herself.
“If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have made the request with such high-level
requirement…”
These wealthy families in Capital City had money and power. As long as they could buy a gown with money, they could afford anything.
This qipao was as exquisite as a piece of art. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to make it. At a glance, she could tell that it was made by a prestigious master.
Such a master had their own temper. They might not agree to make clothes for the sake of money.
“This qipao is so beautiful. What kind of material is this? It’s so soft. I don’t even dare to touch it forcefully…” He Xiang touched it carefully.
“This style and craftsmanship might have been made by the qipao master, Liu Jian,” Qi Cheng said with a complicated expression.
“But…” Qi Cheng turned to look at Lin Shanchu. “Master Liu Jian is old now. His energy is limited. It’s very difficult to ask him to make a qipao. Besides, qipaos are usually custom-made. How did Alec acquire it?”
Lin Shanchu blinked her eyes and had a bold thought. “He probably… snatched
Judging from the color to the design, this qipao was meant for young generation. Some rich daughter must have specially ordered it from Liu Jian.
It was about the same size as her.
Huo Chaosheng did not have the so-called core values, nor was he bound by morality. He was completely capable of doing something like snatching clothes.
However, Qi Cheng and He Xiang, who did not know Huo Chaosheng’s true colors, thought Lin Shanchu was joking.
“How is that possible?”
After finished speaking, He Xiang urged Lin Shanchu to change her clothes.
“Sister Lin, you should try on it.”
Lin Shanchu changed into a qipao and came out.
“Not bad.” Qi Cheng nodded.
He Xiang covered her face as she screamed with sparkling eyes.
” Ahhhh, Sister Lin!”
Lin Shanchu had been resting recently and her cancer had been cured. Moreover, she had gained some weight and her figure was well-proportioned, so she did not look skinny at all.
The qipao unexpectedly fitted her well, revealing beautiful curves of her slim figure. She looked naturally charming with those pure eyes.
He Xiang was stunned, but Qi Cheng reacted first. “The hair color is not good!”
“Change the color then.” Lin Shanchu looked at the time and said, “There’s still time.”
“Why don’t you wear a wig?” He Xiang suggested.
Lin Shanchu twirled her hair and said nonchalantly, “I’m tired of this color anyway.”
Lin Shanchu rushed to the event venue after she was done with styling. When they arrived at the venue, there was still more than an hour before the event began.
Lin Shanchu wasn not the only one invited to the event today. Other artists and relevant personnel were also invited.
The staff were surprised to see Lin Shanchu.
They had all seen the trending topic of Yun Yi personally welcoming Lin Shanchu yesterday, so they thought that Lin Shanchu would arrive late or at the right time.
Some artists cared a lot about their appearance time and wanted to use it to show off their status.
However, Lin Shanchu came so early.
While waiting, Lin Shanchu took some time to call Huo Chaosheng.
“The qipao is very beautiful. Where did you snatch it from?”
“It’s fine as long as you can wear it. You don’t have to worry about the rest.
Someone will deal with it.”
“…You really snatched it?”
“What else? To conjure a fitting qipao out of thin air for you?”
Lin Shanchu fell silent guiltily.
Her request was a little too much.
Lin Shanchu’s tone softened a little. “I’ll come and find you after the event.”
“There’s no need. Don’t you have to attend a dinner party tonight? I happen to be free tonight. I’ll look for you at the dinner party.”
Lin Shanchu knew that Huo Chaosheng probably wanted to join in the fun.
“Alright.”
The event venue was beautifully decorated.
Lin Shanchu did not have many connections with other celebrities in the entertainment industry. She was even less familiar with the celebrities in Capital City.
Throughout the entire event, she cooperatively walked the red carpet and assisted with various processes of the brand owner, showing her dedication as a worker.
By the time the event reached the second half, Lin Shanchu had nothing else to do and was resting lazily on the sofa. A woman walked over and sat down beside her.
“Ming Yao is here too!”
“Who is she?”
“The editor-in-chief of MMLY Magazine…”
“I heard that MMLY is going to invite the Cheng family to shoot the cover next month?”
“That’s what she said..
MLLY Magazine?
Lin Shanchu had heard of it.
It was a women’s fashion magazine.
It was said that the people who appeared on the cover of this magazine were celebrities from all walks of life. Sometimes, they would also invite some socialites.
She did not have any thoughts about this cover. She just wanted to act.
Qi Cheng previously said that he had accepted a role in a period drama for her. The period drama would be filmed in the Film City of Capital City. After she was done with the jewelry brand, she could go straight to the crew for an audition.
Lin Shanchu was lost in thought.
After a few seconds, she realized something and suddenly looked up at the person beside her.
The legendary chief editor of MMLY was sizing her up.
After being discovered by Lin Shanchu, Ming Yao did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, she even became calmer.
After a while, Ming Yao took the initiative to speak, “Your qipao looks nice.”
She had good facial features, looking beautiful and invasive. Her voice carried a calm and steady tone unique to mature women, but still it made her seem powerful, giving off a strong sense of distance and oppression.
Such a confident, mature and glamorous chief editor would not like a pervert like Huo Chaosheng, right?
Therefore, she should not have been the one who hired the Internet trolls to slander her and caused trouble when she borrowed the gown.
However, Lin Shanchu could not rule out the possibility that Ming Yao had a unique taste and liked a perverted brother like Huo Chaosheng.
“A friend gave it to me.” Lin Shanchu smiled lightly, putting on a harmless look.
“Your friend must be some big shot. Master Liu rarely makes qipao for others in recent years.”
Ming Yao’s tone became serious, as if she was really interested in her qipao.
However, Lin Shanchu could still hear the probing tone in her voice.
Ming Yao wanted to know who gave her this qipao.
She refused to say anything.
Lin Shanchu’s eyes widened in surprise. “I see. Then I must be really lucky.” Ming Yao pursed her lip and frowned slightly as a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes.
Was this Lin Shanchu really stupid or was she playing dumb?
She quickly suppressed her emotions and echoed expressionlessly, “Indeed..”
