Chapter 140 Aren’t you curious about who won?
After Zhou Ruxuan received a clear answer from Mu Nanyan, she immediately called the contact number left by Yun Qianxue. Yun Qianxue saw that it was from Grace Studio, and she was secretly delighted, thinking:
"You replied so quickly, Grace must have agreed to design the dress, right?"
She couldn't wait to answer the phone, with a hint of anticipation in her tone:
"Hey, did Grace agree?"
Zhou Ruxuan's tone was polite but distant:
"Excuse me, ma'am. Grace doesn't have time to design dresses lately. Sorry."
When Yun Qianxue heard this, her expression darkened, and her tone was filled with dissatisfaction:
"Didn't you say she was on vacation? How could she not have time? Did you tell her that I was willing to increase the price?"
Zhou Ruxuan still maintained her professional courtesy:
"I have relayed all your previous requests to Grace, but she has clearly stated that she will not accept your order. I am so sorry."
"What's the meaning?"
Yun Qianxue's voice instantly rose an octave, with a hint of anger in her tone.
"She just won't answer my call? Did someone tell her something?"
Zhou Ruxuan didn't expect Yun Qianxue to be so difficult, and she began to feel disgusted with her. She said in a cold tone:
"Ms. Yun, I've conveyed Grace's message. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. Thank you for your understanding."
Before Yun Qianxue could react, Zhou Ruxuan had already hung up the phone.
Yun Qianxue looked at the hung-up call, her face livid with anger, and she threw the phone out directly. The phone hit the carpet with a dull sound. Seeing this, Xu Wei hurried forward to comfort her:
"Qianxue, what's wrong? What did the people at Grace Studio say? Why are you so angry?"
“Grace doesn’t want to take my order!”
Yun Qianxue said this through gritted teeth, her tone filled with anger and unwillingness.
Xu Wei heard this and immediately stood up for her:
"Isn't Grace just a designer? How dare she act like a big shot! Who would want someone like her to make clothes in the future?"
Yun Qianxue sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"From what the people at Grace's studio said just now, it seems that Grace simply doesn't want to take on my design."
"Just don't want to take your design?"
Xu Wei frowned, with a hint of doubt in his tone.
"Did someone say something to Grace, so she rejected you?"
"I feel so."
There was a hint of certainty in Yun Qianxue's tone.
"Who could it be?"
Xu Wei thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up. He came to Yun Qianxue and said,
"Qianxue, I know, it must have been Mu Nanyan who did it!"
"Mu Nanyan?" Yun Qianxue frowned, with a hint of doubt in her tone.
"How could she possibly know Grace?"
Xu Wei quickly explained:
"Didn't you ask me to check Grace before? I found out that she's working with Yihe Studio. I wanted to tell you, but I forgot about it once you mentioned it."
After hearing this, Yun Qianxue frowned even more tightly:
"What does this have to do with each other? Now that Grace has already refused, it's useless for her to cooperate with anyone else."
Xu Wei shook his head, with a certainty in his tone:
"Didn't Qianqian say before that Mu Nanyan was from Yihe Studio? Do you think it's possible that Mu Nanyan and Grace know each other, so she dared to make a bet with you? Because she knew she would win, she agreed to your request not to let her see Su Muyang."
When Yun Qianxue heard this, she suddenly understood. She recalled Mu Nanyan's confident look at that time, and a surge of anger suddenly surged in her heart:
"No wonder she was so confident at the time. It turns out she already knew the outcome! Mu Nanyan, how dare you plot against me!"
Seeing Yun Qianxue's face turning blue with anger, Xu Wei quickly comforted her:
"Qianxue, don't be angry. People like Mu Nanyan are not worth your anger at all. Let's think of a way. We can always find Grace. As long as we tell Grace Mu Nanyan's true face, she will definitely accept your plan."
Yun Qianxue sneered, her tone a bit harsh:
"Mu Nanyan, do you think you can make me apologize to you in public just like this? Dream on! I, Yun Qianxue, will never let you succeed!"
She stood up, walked to the window, and stared at the night scene in the distance with gloomy eyes.

Two days later, Mu Nanyan's cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw the name "Shangguan Jiuze" on the screen.
She was a little surprised and didn't know what Shangguan Jiuze wanted to talk to her about, but out of politeness, she still answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Shangguan, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Mu Nanyan's tone was polite, but with a hint of distance.
Shangguan Jiuze on the other end of the phone smiled and said in a relaxed tone:
"Don't be so polite, just call me Jiuze."
Mu Nanyan hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Then I'll call you Brother Jiuze."
Shangguan Jiuze listened with a hint of ridicule in his tone:
"You and Mu Yang are classmates, so you should be born in the same year as me, right? What month were you born? I'm not necessarily older than you."
Mu Nanyan was amused by him, with a bit of helplessness in her tone:
"My birthday is in March."
"Then you are older than me. I was born in June."
"Okay, then I'll call you Jiuze."
"That's right, we're all the same age, why are we being so distant?"
There was a certain casualness in Shangguan Jiuze's tone, as if the two had been old friends for many years.
Mu Nanyan smiled awkwardly, did not respond, and asked:
"Jiu Ze, I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?"
"Oh, I've been chatting with you for so long that I almost forgot about the important matter."
Shangguan Jiuze's tone was filled with annoyance.
"I wanted to ask you to come out and play."
"Forget about going out and playing. I'm busy lately. Let's do it next time." Mu Nanyan declined politely.
"What do you mean by next time? Didn't you make a bet with Yun Qianxue? Three days have passed. Aren't you curious about who won?"
There was a hint of teasing in Shangguan Jiuze's tone.
Mu Nanyan then remembered that she had been busy choosing a studio address these past two days and almost forgot about this matter. She frowned and asked:
"Is Yun Qianxue here today?"
"She must be here."
There was a hint of disdain in Shangguan Jiuze's tone.
"She looks quite happy. If you didn't know her, you would think she won."
Mu Nanyan felt a little nervous after hearing this, and her tone was firm:
"Then send me the address and I'll be there right away."
"Okay, I'll send it to you right away." Shangguan Jiuze responded readily.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Nanyan packed up simply and drove to Genting Highlands. This time the location was still Genting Highlands, but the box was changed to No. 888.
Along the way, Mu Nanyan felt a little complicated. She knew that since Yun Qianxue was so confident, she must feel that she had won the bet.
But Mu Nanyan knew in her heart that Grace was herself, and it was impossible for Yun Qianxue to find Grace. She wanted to see how Yun Qianxue would end up today.
