Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.
Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...
Shen Jize introduced, "The designer, Liu Qiang, is from Gangcheng. He studied design in France and just returned to China. This dress he has is his first design. When I asked him to borrow it, he was very reluctant."
"Such beautiful clothes, if it were me, I wouldn't want to lend them out either, what if they get damaged?"
“I thought so before, but not anymore, Ms. Lin Wei. I sincerely hope that you can wear my design to Shen Qingji’s wedding. I think your figure and temperament are particularly suitable for this dress. You will definitely be able to best showcase the features of this dress and make everyone’s eyes light up.”
"But before that, let me correct you. Please call me by my English name, Aurora. Don't doubt it, that's my English name, and I'm a man."
Lin Wei was a little confused by him. "What's wrong with him?"
“His Chinese name was too masculine, so he chose a more neutral English name. But most people still think of him as a woman… so…”
"I see. There aren't many normal people in the design field."
Hearing the two whispering, Liu Qiang turned around and glared at them, "Why don't you keep your voices down? I can hear everything."
"I only said it so you could hear it, Brother Qiang."
As soon as Lin Wei called him "Brother Qiang," Liu Qiang screamed on the spot, "Ah, don't call me that!"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Lin Wei looked helplessly at Shen Jize, hoping he could explain it to her.
Shen Jize said, "He doesn't like this name, so just call him by his English name."
"Neither English nor Western, okay, Aurora."
Seeing Lin Wei's defiant attitude, Liu Qiang pointed at her and said somewhat angrily, "You really know how to choose a partner. You found someone with such a temper. Can you stand it?"
“I wouldn’t do that to her, and he didn’t ask me to call him by his English name. Okay, Aurora, may I try on this beautiful dress, Aurora?”
-
The argument between the two was just a minor incident in the morning, and neither of them took it to heart.
Aurora was genuinely pleased when Lin Wei came out wearing this dress.
"It looks beautiful, so beautiful. This dress seems to have been designed just for you. It's gorgeous without overshadowing the main character, and the color makes your skin look fairer. I originally wanted to apply some whitening cream to your skin, but I didn't expect you to be so fair already. You don't need any whitening cream at all."
"Hmm, let's do the makeup again."
The makeup artist is Aurora's assistant, named Xiaoman.
Xiao Man is very young, but her skills are quite good. In just a few moments, she has covered up the fatigue on Lin Wei's face.
With her exquisite makeup and deliberately styled relaxed hairstyle, Lin Wei herself looked like a Disney princess who had escaped from the world.
"Oh my god, I look so good! How can I be so beautiful? If I go out like this, I'll seduce everyone!"
I know Lin Wei is capable of saying anything, but how could she say something like this?
Aurora gave Shen Jize a thumbs up, "You have a unique eye, even your choice of girlfriend is distinctive. But what you said is true, this dress really looks good on you."
"Alright, I'm all better now. Are you all ready? When are you leaving?"
Shen Jize glanced at the time, and after making arrangements for Xiaoman, he took her and Aurora to the wedding venue in the car.
The wedding was an outdoor wedding, and the weather in the port city was indeed perfect for an outdoor wedding.
When they arrived, it was already 11 o'clock, and most of the people had already arrived.
Without exception, Lin Wei didn't recognize any of them.
"Don't worry, just follow me. I'll introduce you to people. You can greet anyone you like, or you can ignore them if you don't want to. If you get tired, I'll find you a place to rest..."
Before Shen Jize could finish his explanation, Zhuang Zhihao walked towards them. "I could hear you nagging like an old woman from afar. You don't need to say anything. My sister is here too. Let Jiayi take Weiwei out for a walk. It would be good for her to make some new friends. It would be boring for her to come with us."
Shen Jize was well aware of the dark side of these people in wealthy families. He brought Lin Wei back only to make their relationship public, but he did not intend to let her get too deeply involved, since he would definitely use Jiangcheng as his base in the future.
But before she could refuse, Zhuang Jiayi pulled her away.
Lin Wei could only reassure her, "We girls talk about private things, don't worry about us, I won't let myself be wronged."
-
Zhuang Jiayi led him to a less crowded place, took two glasses of champagne, and handed one to her.
"You'll drink it, right?"
She's never drunk champagne, only beer and baijiu, but the alcohol content should be low.
Lin Wei took it and said, "I'll drink it."
The two found a chair, but before they could even start chatting, several people walked towards them.
Zhuang Jiayi introduced them: "These are all my girlfriends who I play with. This is Qiu Shimin, Wu Peishan, and Meng Shufen. This is Lin Wei, Shen Jize's good friend."
The three greeted Lin Wei warmly, but unfortunately none of them spoke Mandarin, so Lin Wei could only chat with them casually.
Seeing Lin Wei's embarrassment, Zhuang Jiayi got up and led her to another place.
"It's boring, isn't it? But if you have time, you can learn Cantonese. After all, Brother Ji Ze has some assets in Hong Kong, and you'll need to communicate with him in the future."
Lin Wei really had this idea. "Yes, I've also considered this issue. I'll put it on the agenda when I get back."
No sooner had he finished speaking than two girls started arguing in another part of the wedding venue.
"Hey, they're arguing over there."
A girl sat on the ground, covering her face, begging for forgiveness.
Another girl kept explaining to the people around her, but all she got were scrutinizing glances and people backing away.
“I didn’t hit him, I really didn’t hit him, he fell down on his own.”
The woman who fell to the ground only shed tears of grievance, and anyone who looked at her would think that she was crazy.
But this approach is too outdated.
"Tsk, this kind of plot can happen anywhere."
Especially in wealthy families, it's practically a recurring pattern.
Zhuang Jiayi glanced over there, then at Lin Wei, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Have you encountered this before?"
"No, but if I encountered such a thing, I wouldn't care about what others thought, I would just go up and slap that person a few times."
Zhuang Jiayi didn't understand this tactic. "Why? If she's innocent, wouldn't this confirm that she's been wrongly accused?"
“I’m going to make it official. Didn’t you say I hit you? Nobody knows whether I hit you before, but since you say I did, I’m going to let everyone see that yes, I really did hit you.”
"Even if she's been wronged, no one will believe she's been wronged. She's not wronged, because it didn't matter whether she was hit before or not, but now, I definitely hit her."
