An Mingzhu directly positioned herself in the position of "sacrificing herself for the sake of the overall situation".
Of course, only Xie Jinya believed these "righteous" words; Lin Chuxia, on the other hand, did not.
How could things be such a coincidence?
For a custom-made dress costing hundreds of thousands, were the staff really so "careless" as to not even be able to distinguish between red and blue? Didn't anyone check and verify it repeatedly during the production process?
It wasn't that Lin Chuxia was particularly fixated on An Mingzhu's dress; it was just that the light blue dress was far inferior to An Mingzhu's red dress in both style and material.
Wearing this outfit, others would only think she was An Mingzhu's maid, while An Mingzhu was the noble princess.
Before Lin Chuxia could reply, Xie Jinya impatiently said, "What are you still hesitating about? What are you still dissatisfied with? Do you know how much money we spent to order this dress for you?"
Of course, if it weren't to please Grandpa An, Xie Jinya would never have been willing to spend hundreds of thousands to customize such a dress for Lin Chuxia.
Just thinking about that bill makes Xie Jinya's heart ache: "All you ever think about is spending money, spending money, spending money! You have no idea how hard it is to earn money! If it weren't for Mingzhu being so sensible and taking the initiative to buy the cheapest dress for herself, saving us a lot of money, we wouldn't have been able to pay the bill. Otherwise, do you think that dress would have been so easy to get?"
Lin Chuxia was completely baffled: "But the problem is, I'm not wearing this expensive dress right now! And if I'm not mistaken, An Mingzhu probably chose this expensive dress herself, right?"
“Chuxia, I chose this for you,” An Mingzhu explained hastily. “I feel that the An family has really let you down since you’ve been away for so many years. The first time I saw this dress, I thought, if you wore this dress, Chuxia, you definitely wouldn’t complain about Mom and Dad anymore. As for me, it’s okay if I wear something ordinary. But who knew that the staff would get the size of the dress wrong…”
An Mingzhu's words reminded Xie Jinya of what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"Alright! It's settled then! You'll wear the blue one!" This red dress is so expensive, it's a waste to wear it on this ingrate, it's better to wear it on Mingzhu.
That wretched girl has no love for Anjia or her biological mother whatsoever.
Which family's daughter is always away from home and has repeatedly spoken ill of her to her father-in-law?
Furthermore, if people found out about the shady things Lin Chuxia did, where would the An family's reputation be?
Luckily, the staff made a mistake with the dress size. How could that ungrateful brat deserve such a nice dress?
Xie Jinya called the makeup artist over and instructed, "Please do my eldest daughter's makeup first. Don't worry about anything else, just get her dressed up."
Lin Chuxia then understood why Xie Jinya had arranged the family reunion banquet on her birthday.
Therefore, recognizing relatives is secondary; helping An Mingzhu celebrate her birthday is the main thing.
For a moment, Lin Chuxia wanted to turn around and leave, but when she thought of the old man looking at her with hopeful eyes, she hesitated and ultimately stayed.
Fine, let's wait a little longer, so that Grandpa can... give up on this idea.
