Chapter 25: The Grand Finale! Xia Mian Stuns the Entire Audience!

Xia Mian turned around and met Fu Yanshen's eyes. The man's tall, strong body and handsome features came into view.

A ticklish sensation emanated from his large palm.

He wanted to reach out and hold her hand, to hold her and her whole being firmly in his palm.

"Shen! Oh my god!" Cedric was so excited when he saw Fu Yanshen suddenly appear that he almost danced with joy.

"You actually came? I can hardly believe my eyes!" Foreigners are usually enthusiastic and outgoing, and when Cedric saw Fu Yanshen, who was low-key and never appeared in such occasions, he almost lost control of his emotions.

“Shen, I’ve asked you countless times to come and support us. I’m about to cry.” Cedric was wearing a shirt with the collar open, and his chest was faintly visible through his large movements.

Xia Mian caught a glimpse of it and immediately looked away.

Fu Yanshen's gaze narrowed slightly. He grabbed Cedric's shirt collar with his long fingers and fastened all the buttons, all the way up to the top.

Cedric stared at the man in front of him in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Is it raining red? You, Chief Fu, have actually condescended to personally help me button my shirt?"

“With your collar open, what kind of behavior is this! My sister is still young, it’s indecent!” Fu Yanshen gave a very high-sounding reason.

Cedric looked around and saw that there were quite a few fashionistas who had come to the show, and they were all dressed very provocatively.

Some were showing off their thighs, some their backs, and some even had deep V-necks. Some of the more flamboyant guys, in particular, practically didn't want to button up a single button, exposing their chests, and some were even wearing see-through outfits...

"Go backstage." Fu Yanshen smiled, his gaze turning to Xia Mian, as he extended his large hand towards her.

Xia Mian stared at him in a daze. Under the dazzling lights of the show, his eyes seemed to be splashed with ink flowers.

As if guided by some unseen force, she placed her hand into the man's palm.

A warm, large hand led her, and they followed Cedric backstage.

The makeup artist redid Xia Mian's makeup. Stage makeup naturally needs to be more glamorous, while Xia Mian's previous makeup was somewhat understated.

The curtain finally rose on the LX show. As the highlight of the fashion show, the brand invited a world-renowned diva to perform an elegant hit song, and the melodious singing opened the show.

After the singer left, classical music filled the air above the show, clouds of mist rose, and one after another, dazzling flowers bloomed on the catwalk.

The models, dressed in LX's latest designs, walked the runway, attracting a lot of attention.

Zhao Baoqi held her phone, taking photos every now and then. She also hired a well-known photographer to follow her around, not only taking photos of her watching the show, but also instructing the photographer to make sure that when Xia Mian and her older brother came out, they could take super beautiful and handsome photos of her older brother and her best friend!

She sat in the front row, feeling both nervous and expectant.

Lu Lian'er sat with Xia Qingfeng, and she had to crane her neck to see the models' performance on the catwalk.

She wanted to take photos of the models, and as soon as she stood up slightly, a middle-aged woman next to her scolded her, "How rude of you! Why did you stand up?"

"Your standing up will disrupt the entire show!" the middle-aged woman's voice was cold and commanding. "Sit down immediately!"

Lu Lian'er trembled with anger and shrank into Xia Qingfeng's arms, feeling wronged. "Third Brother...look at her..."

"Never mind, Lian'er, this is a public place, we should be more careful," Xia Qingfeng said softly to comfort Lu Lian'er.

The middle-aged woman's loud voice had already attracted a lot of attention.

Xia Qingfeng felt somewhat embarrassed.

When Lu Lian'er saw that he wasn't supporting her as usual, tears welled up in her eyes.

"I finally got to watch a show, and not only was I sitting in the back row, but I was also bullied by strangers..."

The three Xia brothers couldn't bear to see Lu Lian'er cry. Seeing their beloved little sister in tears, Xia Qingfeng felt as if an invisible hand was tearing his heart apart.

He glared menacingly at the middle-aged woman beside him. "Auntie, I think you're the one with no manners. How dare you bully my sister!"

The middle-aged woman frowned, not expecting Xia Qingfeng to start with such an insult.

She gave a cold laugh and gracefully stood up, flicking off imaginary dust from her clothes. She reached out and snatched the admission ticket that Lu Lian'er had been reluctant to put in her bag. After seeing the name, she gave a cold laugh.

"Lu Lian'er? I'll remember you!"

"Why did you steal my ticket!" Lu Lian'er angrily snatched the ticket, treating it like a precious treasure. "Do you think you're worthy to touch my ticket?"

The middle-aged woman's face turned ashen; she had never seen such an unreasonable and rude person before!

Just then, a deep baritone voice suddenly rang out, "Next up is Miss Xia Mian, dressed in a starry night gown!"

A wisp of mist rose, and Xia Mian slowly appeared to the music. The gold powder on her hair shimmered under the lights, and her diamond-studded dress complemented her temperament perfectly, making her look like a goddess who had stepped out of Greek mythology!

A tall, imposing man held her small hand firmly in his large palm. He was dressed in an elegant white suit, and his handsome face was covered by a silver mask, revealing only the lower half of his face and the smooth lines of his jawline.

Lu Lian'er stared at the stage in disbelief. "Xia Mian? How is that possible? She's the finale model?"

Xia Qingfeng scoffed, "Just someone with the same name, right? She's ugly, and she's never even been to a fashion show. How could she walk the runway?"

Lu Lian'er's gaze was fixed on the girl on the catwalk. The girl, like a goddess descended to earth, gracefully walked towards the front row of the audience.

Under the spotlight, photographers invited by various fashion magazines, as well as some online celebrities, all raised their video cameras, still cameras, and mobile phones...

Xia Mian! It really is Xia Mian!

Lu Lian'er had never seen Xia Mian so beautiful!

Xia Qingfeng looked over in surprise when he saw that Lu Lian'er was not speaking, especially when he saw that Xia Mian's small hand was being held firmly in the palm of a tall and handsome man.

An unnamed anger suddenly flared up in his heart!

"Who is this man? How dare he hold Xia Mian's hand! Did he get my permission?"

The middle-aged woman cast a sarcastic glance at the two of them. "You know the final model?"

"Nonsense! That's my sister Xia Mian!" Xia Qingfeng was extremely agitated. "What's going on with Xia Mian? She actually became the closing model of the LX fashion show, and I've never heard her mention it before?"

"Sister is too much! If we had known she had this connection, we could have gotten front-row seats by asking her." Lu Lian'er sniffed. "Sister is still so selfish, only thinking about herself."

The middle-aged woman stared wide-eyed in shock at the brother and sister's bizarre remarks. "Lu Lian'er? Xia Mian? They weren't born to the same mother, were they? The difference is just too great!"

Lu Lian'er thought the middle-aged woman was belittling Xia Mian, implying she was inferior to her. She proudly puffed out her chest and said, "I've always been prettier than my sister since I was little!"
