Yao Mengqing did not think too much about it when she was making the gowns. She only wanted Qiao Xi to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi discerned the problem with the gowns with a single glance.
Now that the truth was out, she absolutely could not admit it! Otherwise, it would affect her studio.
“Ah Zheng… I didn’t know. I only use high-quality fabrics. I don’t know why the inner lining became rough. I…”
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. “I heard that you’re a renowned designer and very famous overseas. Don’t tell me that you can’t differentiate between silk and rough fabric? If you could become a designer with such standards, that’s really too laughable!”
Gu Yao was instantly speechless, not knowing how to defend Yao Mengqing anymore.
Gu Zheng cleared his throat. “Throw them all away.”
The butler immediately got someone to bring the gowns out.
Yao Mengqing’s tears welled up in her eyes. “Ah Zheng, I worked overtime in the past few days to design the gowns but I left some of the designs to someone else. They must have changed the fabrics behind my back to save money on materials. It wasn’t me…”
Gu Zheng’s face was still cold. Yao Mengqing was so anxious that she stomped her feet. “Ah Zheng, we’ve been playmates since we were young. You should know what kind of person I am. Why would I harm others?”
“Miss Yao, have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if I really wore these gowns?”
Qiao Xi spoke coldly.
This was definitely not just about changing the fabrics. She had been up to no good since the start of the designing process.
Furthermore, Yao Mengqing had personally come to deliver the gowns because she wanted everyone to know that she was warm and kind-hearted. She wanted to leave everyone the impression that she would not do such a thing.
Gu Yao raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. He still felt that he had to help Yao Mengqing, so he shouted, “Qiao Xi, what do you mean by this? Isn’t it just a few gowns? This isn’t Sister Mengqing’s fault!”
Yao Mengqing’s eyes were filled with tears. She choked and said, “Ah Zheng, I just wanted to finish the gowns as soon as possible, so I got others to help out. I didn’t expect it to be like this.”
Just then, she heard the hum of a car outside.
The butler rushed in. “Young Madam, someone’s looking for you.”
Qiao Xi nodded. “Let them in.”
After a while, a woman dressed exquisitely walked in with a group of staff behind her. She was carrying a golden box in her hand and asked respectfully, “May I know which one of you is Miss Qiao? This is the jewelry Master Yun Chu designed for you. There are a total of 12 sets here. I hope you like them.”
With that said, the staff member opened the box. Everyone’s eyes lit up.
These pieces of jewelry were really too dazzling, making Yao Mengqing’s gowns look dull.
Yao Mengqing was embarrassed as if she had been smacked in the head.
Yun Chu was a famous jewelry designer domestically and internationally. Her works were praised as a treasure of art and received everyone’s recognition. Having Yun Chu’s works was something to be proud of.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chu actually gave Qiao Xi 12 sets of jewelry at once!
Gu Yao looked at the shining jewelry and asked with a puzzled expression, “Sister Mengqing, isn’t Qiao Xi very poor? She even needs Gu Zheng’s help to buy clothes. Why would Yun Chu design jewelry for her?”
Yao Mengqing’s face was gloomy and awkward.
Her nails dug into her palms. “The clothes I designed… are indeed not comparable to Yun Chu’s designs. I’ll go back and redesign the clothes now. I’ll… leave first.”
Yao Mengqing covered her face in embarrassment. A few tears fell from the corner of her eyes as she said weakly, “Ah Zheng, I know you’re probably still angry with me, but it’s been so long since we last met. Can’t you forgive me? I could come back to the country for you, so just…
“It seems like I was thinking too much…”
Yao Mengqing smiled bitterly.
Gu Zheng glanced at her indifferently.
Yao Mengqing thought that he was touched and was about to take another step forward.
“I didn’t ask you to come back.”
Gu Zheng said coldly, “Yao Junjie gave the entire Yao family to me so that I could help you establish your own company abroad. Your brother spent all his wealth to give you such a happy life overseas, so you shouldn’t have returned.”
Yao Mengqing’s face turned pale.
“Butler, see the guest out,” Gu Zheng said coldly.
Gu Yao immediately felt indignant.. “Sister Mengqing has just returned and you’re chasing her away?”
