Chapter 579 - You Are Nothing to Me (1)
Little Star was oblivious to what was happening around her, as she was preoccupied with her food, but the moment Liu Ruoyan fell and a loud crash was heard, her round eyes caught the weird auntie on the floor, a few feet away from her daddy.
'Huh? What is the weird auntie doing on the floor? Did she get dizzy too like Mommy Fen and fainted?' Little Star's doe-like brown eyes blinked at the scene in front of them, while Li Meili was having a hard time suppressing her laughter behind her napkin.
Li Meili hadn't seen her best friend act like this in a long time. Between the two of them, she was the one who usually started the fights they were involved with because of her mischief and pettiness towards others. But who would have thought that tonight, Tang Moyu would be the one who would shamelessly cause trouble for Liu Ruoyan instead?
Because of what happened to Liu Ruoyan, everyone's eyes turned to look at her. How can they not recognize who she was? After all, aside from being the popular fashion designer who owned Golden Elegance, Liu Ruoyan was also known for her brash attitude. She had offended so many people in the process. If it wasn't for the Liu family's influence, they wouldn't let the issue aside.
"Huh? What happened to Miss Liu? Why did she fall?"
A woman who didn't like Liu Ruoyan because of her arrogance, scoffed behind her champagne flute and rolled her eyes.
"The idiot might have tripped because of her long dress. Either that or she was trying to seduce President Feng and failed." She commented casually, earning curious glances towards Liu Ruoyan and Feng Tianyi.
Li Meili then eyed what Liu Ruoyan was wearing tonight. It was true that Liu Ruoyan's dress was too long for her stature.
The woman was wearing a red formal evening gown with a V-neckline and a ribbon belt. Its A-line skirt had a high t.h.i.g.h slit, just like Tang Moyu's, aiming to give the wearer a sophisticated but seductive look at the same time.
Li Meili couldn't help but frown at Liu Ruoyan's choice of evening dress. As a seasoned designer, Liu Ruoyan should know that a dress with a high t.h.i.g.h slit like this could only work well with women with tall stature and slimmer figures.
Since the skirt was also flowing smoothly like this, it would also emphasize the waist and the curves of the wearer. It also didn't help that she wore a pair of red gloves that reached past her elbows.
For a person who wasn't blessed with large melons, it only emphasized Liu Ruoyan's seemingly flat c.h.e.s.t and how thin her body was. The t.h.i.g.h slit only made her look smaller compared to the high t.h.i.g.h slit on Tang Moyu, which looked great because of her tall height and long, lean legs.
Was Liu Ruoyan trying to look daring? Li Meili wondered. She cupped her chin and looked at the woman's pitiful state.
Heh, Liu Ruoyan should know that red is a bold color, and the shade of red she'd chosen should made others think of dominance and power, but with Li Ruoyan's short height and thin body, it only made her look like a girl who was trying on her mother's makeup and dress for the first time.
This kind of red was what Li Meili preferred to use when making Tang Moyu's dresses. Because such color demands authority and dominance from its wearer, something that Tang Moyu naturally exuded.
With this dress, Tang Moyu was able to show the smooth slope of her neck and her attractive shoulder and collarbones. Her pale smooth skin looked enticing under the bright lights.
Of course, Li Meili overheard earlier how Liu Ruoyan demeaned the dress Tang Moyu was wearing tonight, but in her honest opinion as a designer, Liu Ruoyan's dress fell short compared to what Tang Moyu was wearing. Also the fact that this black evening dress was one of her earliest creations, which meant she wasn't able to perfect it, still complimented Tang Moyu's figure, unlike what Liu Ruoyan was wearing.
How did Liu Ruoyan manage to win the designer of the year for a few consecutive years if she was dressed poorly like this? Li Meili wondered. As a designer, where was Liu Ruoyan's pride? Why did she allow herself to dress like this?
She was starting to wonder if Liu Ruoyan really had what it takes to become a full fledged designer.
For some who'd been working in the fashion industry for years now, although not everyone knew the identity of The Black Nightingale, Li Meili never allowed herself to dress poorly or overdress whenever she was out in public.
Her pride wouldn't allow her to do so. Inexperience she may be, but Li Meili at least knew the basics that would never fail her fashion sense.
Liu Ruoyan took some time to recover from her shock. She winced as she felt pain on her arms and on her side where she fell off. Lifting her head she saw Feng Tianyi staring down at her blankly, while Tang Moyu looked away, sipping her wine while pretending like she was innocent.
The waiter regained his composure and helped Liu Ruoyan to stand up, only to be rudely pushed away by her, in favor of going to Feng Tianyi to complain.
"Brother Tianyi, you saw it, right? Tang Moyu tripped me! She's trying to harm me and my reputation!" Liu Ruoyan told Feng Tianyi with teary eyes, giving her the best impression of being wronged by the empress.
