Chapter 168 Jealousy Goes Mad
When Zhang Lina walked out in that three-million-yuan dress, she made everyone at the banquet extremely envious, wishing they were the ones who had been splashed with red wine by Xia Ningxi.
Everyone praised Zhang Lina for turning misfortune into good fortune with envy, but when they saw Xia Ningxi wearing a starry sky dress, everyone's expression changed.
"Isn't that Lex Wayne's masterpiece?"
"How did she end up wearing it?"
"Oh my god, what's going on?!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could recognize that this dress was the dream of all of them!
These are dresses that even if they have money, they can't buy.
Everyone was shocked, even Xia Luoluo was taken aback when she saw the dress.
Xia Luoluo always knew that the Starry Sky Dress was in Huo Nanxiao's hands, but she thought that the dress was prepared for Xia Wanwan. Over the years, Huo Nanxiao had kept it very well. But Xia Luoluo never expected that the dress would eventually be worn by Xia Ningxi!
Xia Luoluo was so jealous she almost bit her teeth off.
"Lolo, why is she wearing this dress!" Zhang Lina's face turned green.
Charlotte tried to calm herself down and said, "It's just a dress."
"This isn't just any dress, it's the Starry Night Dress! A creation of Lex Wayne! How could she wear such a dress!" Zhang Lina exclaimed angrily.
Charlotte was also very angry.
However, the fact that Xia Ningxi dared to wear this dress must have been Huo Nanxiao's idea. In other words, everything she did was at Huo Nanxiao's behest. So what if Xia Luoluo was dissatisfied? Could she possibly question Huo Nanxiao?
What qualifications does she have?
Xia Luoluo could only forcefully suppress her anger.
Xia Ningxi's appearance caused a sensation.
She was already very beautiful, with flawless fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth; she was stunningly beautiful without any embellishment.
She is a natural beauty.
"What a nice view……"
"Whose daughter is this? She's so beautiful."
"I don't know, I've never seen it before."
"She's so beautiful. This is the first time I've ever seen such a beautiful girl."
Many wealthy young men were attracted to Xia Ningxi.
When Huo Nanxiao saw Xia Ningxi coming downstairs, a look of amazement flashed in his deep eyes.
He had always known that Xia Ningxi was very beautiful and would look stunning with just a little dressing up, but he never expected her to look so beautiful in this starry sky dress.
His deep eyes were intense.
Xia Ningxi also noticed that everyone at the banquet was looking at her, some with surprise, some with envy, but mostly with jealousy.
Xia Ningxi knew very well how important this dress was to girls; what she was wearing was everyone's dream.
Xia Ningxi felt somewhat embarrassed. She walked up to Huo Nanxiao and asked in a low voice, "Don't you have any other dresses for me to wear?"
"That's all," Huo Nanxiao replied simply.
Xia Ningxi said, "Do you know that this dress is a design by Lex Wayne?"
"I know."
Xia Ningxi: "Then why did you let me wear it?"
"If you don't want to wear it, you can throw it away."
Huo Nanxiao's attitude was indifferent.
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched violently. Throw away this dress? Are you kidding me!
This dress is priceless; you can't buy it even if you have the money.
Huo Nanxiao really has too much money to burn.
Xia Ningxi initially thought that wearing this dress was too extravagant, but considering that it might be thrown into the trash can like garbage, she felt that it was a blessing for the dress to be worn by her.
However, Xia Ningxi's actions made all the socialites and heiresses at the banquet green with envy.
"Is Young Master Huo blind?" Fu Mingyan asked indignantly.
Duan Rongrong said sourly, "You can't buy this dress even if you have money. It's such a waste to wear it on Xia Ningxi. Even Xia Wanwan doesn't get this kind of treatment, does she?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Luoluo's palms clenched tighter and tighter.
Fu Mingyan asked, "Xia Luoluo, didn't you keep saying that Huo Nanxiao's favorite person is your sister? If that's the case, why didn't he leave this starry sky dress for your sister, but instead let a woman like Xia Ningxi, who is not presentable, wear it?"
Xia Luoluo almost bit her teeth off, but she still tried to keep smiling: "Didn't Young Master Huo say that there are no other dresses to change into?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingyan glared angrily at Zhang Lina: "It's all your fault! Why did you have to spill red wine on her for no reason?"
Zhang Lina was also filled with regret. She only wanted to embarrass Xia Ningxi, but she never expected that Huo Nanxiao would actually let Xia Ningxi wear this dress. If she had known, she would never have splashed red wine on Xia Ningxi!
Well, what a mess! Instead of embarrassing Xia Ningxi, she ended up becoming the center of attention in the entire banquet hall.
All eyes were on her. At that moment, it was as if she were the master of the place, the most dazzling and radiant star.
Her appearance overshadowed all the socialites and heiresses.
They've never been in the limelight like this in their entire lives!
"Luo Luo, what should we do now?" Zhang Lina realized she had done something wrong and nervously grabbed Xia Luo Luo's hand.
Xia Luoluo took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "It's just a dress. So what if she wears it? My sister is the one who had a wedding with Huo Nanxiao. She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, married in a proper ceremony. Even if she wore ten Starry Night dresses, so what?"
"But Young Master Huo is being far too biased. You've taken such good care of Huo Yuan all these years and you still don't deserve to wear this dress. Why should that bitch Xia Ningxi steal it from you?" Zhang Lina gritted her teeth.
At this moment, Xia Luoluo was so jealous that she bit her gums until they bled. In her heart, she wished she could tear Xia Ningxi to pieces, but in order to maintain her image as a well-bred young lady, she still had to pretend to be understanding.
"Young Master Huo has his own ideas, and we must respect his decision." Xia Luoluo forced a smile, pretending to be indifferent, but as she said this, no one knew that she even had the urge to kill Xia Ningxi!
She worked hard for four years to raise Huo Yuan for Xia Ningxi, all so that she could rightfully stand by Huo Nanxiao's side.
Wearing this starry dress, standing beside Huo Nanxiao, and becoming his woman is Xia Luoluo's biggest dream in this life.
But unfortunately, all of this fell on Xia Ningxi's shoulders!
Why!
Why could Xia Ningxi get everything she dreamed of without doing anything?
Xia Luoluo was driven mad with jealousy.
