The 58th melon
Chen Yun asked a lot of brands, and in the end, there was only one answer: no one would lend.
Lin's might not be able to influence those first-tier fashion resources, but it is more than enough to block Lin Cha from the second-tier ones. Unfortunately, Lin Cha is not qualified to be a first-tier resource.
"It seems that Miss Lin is determined to ban you from the fashion circle." Chen Yun sighed, "The Lin family still has the ability to do this."
"Then I won't wear a dress?" Lin Cha asked tentatively.
Anyway, Lin Churou will also attend Lu Yanyan and He Yunji's engagement party. This is the highlight of the protagonists. She just wants to attend the banquet and enjoy the melons. She has no intention of competing for the limelight.
"What a joke!"
Chen Yun's face was serious. "If I can't even borrow a dress, how can I, Chen Yun, survive in this industry? Cha Cha, go back and rest first. I'll definitely get it done tomorrow!"
Lin Cha rubbed her nose in frustration, not holding out much hope. After all, she'd made so many phone calls in the RV to no avail, so how could she possibly borrow a dress overnight?
But the next day, Lin Cha received a call from Chen Yun, asking her to go to the Blue Shopping Mall to try on a new dress.
"Go to the VIP room at Blue Mall and say 'Miss Lin.' I've got more than one dress to borrow for you this time. Feel free to try them on and find the one that suits you best," Chen Yun told Lin Cha on the phone. "I'll have Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhang accompany you. Xiao Zhang is your stylist, so you can ask her any questions you have."
Lin Cha replied "OK".
Presumably, Chen Yun reported the fact that she couldn't borrow a dress to Sun Qianqian. After all, Sun Qianqian is the CEO of Star Shine, so borrowing a dress from the brand is naturally a piece of cake for her.
Lin Group President's Office
"Mr. Lin, we've already notified Miss Lin Cha's agent and have her try on dresses at Blue," Lin Zhaoyi's special assistant said respectfully. "However, Miss Lin Cha has already left the Lin family. Do we still need to consider this?"
Lin Zhaoyi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a calm tone.
"It's just a dress."
"Are you worried that she won't be able to borrow a dress and will embarrass herself at the party?" the special assistant suddenly asked. "But if Miss Lin finds out, she'll definitely be unhappy again."
Lin Zhaoyi sighed when he heard this.
Ever since he found out that Lin Cha was not his biological sister, the family relationship they had shared for more than 20 years had quietly deteriorated.
Originally, Chacha could have stayed in the Lin family under a different identity. However, Chu Rou was so hostile to Chacha that she even banned her from the fashion world and refused to let anyone lend her a dress.
"Don't tell her," Lin Zhaoyi said, "I'll find time to explain it later. Chu Rou is a considerate child. I believe she will accept Cha Cha."
Blue Mall VIP Member Room...
"I want this dress exactly. Someone has reserved it? Who? Can't you transfer it to me?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Liu," the VIP customer service representative bowed to Liu Ling'er with a guilty look on her face. "This dress is custom-made. We have no right to decide. Ms. Situ in Kassel has prepared a dress for you and has delivered it to your door. You don't need to buy a new dress!"
"It's not that I need it, I'm just helping others take a look." Liu Ling'er looked distressed, holding her chin in her hand as she thought.
She had a gg photo shoot today and unexpectedly learned that Lin Cha was banned by the fashion circle. She originally thought that since she had helped her so many times, she might as well buy her a dress.
Liu Ling'er's eyes rolled. "Who is the buyer? Tell me, I'll talk to him about it."
Waiter: "Miss Liu, please don't embarrass me. This dress was ordered by Mr. Lin Zhaoyi of the Lin Group. He said he wanted to give it to his sister!"
"Lin Zhaoyi's sister?"
Isn’t that Lin Churou?
Liu Ling'er frowned, her heart sinking. Ever since she learned that Lin Churou had framed Lin Cha several times, Liu Ling'er had grown dislikeful of the Lin family and even less interested in doing business with Lin Zhaoyi.
Just give up, you can ask Situ Qing to get you the dress.
When she turned around, she unexpectedly ran into Lin Churou and her best friend Liao Yuhan who were coming towards her.
"Rou Rou, was this dress ordered by your brother? It's so beautiful!"
Following Liao Yuhan's exclamation, many people in the VIP room looked over.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Churou's eyes, and then she put on a proper smile like a rich girl.
——Originally, she was just accompanying Liao Yuhan shopping, but she didn't expect to witness this.
"Brother Zhaoyi must have wanted to give you a surprise!" Liao Yuhan said enviously, "He's so thoughtful! Rourou, I envy you so much for having a brother like you!"
Lin Churou gently poked Liao Yuhan and said, "When you become my sister-in-law in the future, my brother will treat you very well!"
Liao Yuhan's face instantly turned red when she heard this, "You're so annoying!"
"Is this Miss Lin?" the waiter asked as if to confirm. "This is the dress Mr. Lin prepared for you. It was designed by designer A. Every pearl on it was hand-sewn, and the dress was custom-made to your size."
"Brother Zhaoyi is so thoughtful!" Liao Yuhan sighed again, "But the hem of the skirt is still a little small, it doesn't bring out your elegance, Rourou!"
Liu Ling'er curled her lips in disdain. "Why is the skirt so big? This is Lu Yanyan's engagement party, not Lin Churou's. Are you trying to steal the limelight by wearing such an exaggerated skirt?"
When Lin Churou and Liao Yuhan heard this, their faces froze and they looked a little embarrassed.
Lin Churou doesn't like Liu Ling'er.
In fact, she doesn't like anyone who has anything to do with Lin Cha and Lu Yanyan.
After returning to the Lin family, Lin Churou had a dream. She dreamed that even though she returned to the Lin family, everyone in the Lin family still revolved around Lin Cha. They liked Lin Cha more and ignored her, their real daughter.
After waking up, Lin Churou was sweating profusely.
The joy of finding her relatives was gone, and she had only one thought in her mind - she must not let this dream come true!
So after returning to the Lin family, Lin Churou became extremely well-behaved and sensible. She tried every means to drive Lin Cha away, and even tried to suppress her after she left.
She couldn't allow Lin Cha any chance to turn things around and return to the Lin family to take back everything that belonged to her!
Only she is the best daughter of her parents and the real daughter of the Lin family!
But things went against her wishes. Although she drove Lin Cha away, for some reason, Lin Cha became popular again and once again caught her brother's attention!
Even her brother locked himself up in the Lin family's old house for her!
However, during the half month of house arrest, Lin Churou had another dream.
This dream is also a supplement to the previous dream.
Lin Churou realized that this world was a novel and she was the protagonist of this world.
Lin Cha has been kicked out of the Lin family and is no longer on the same level as her, so she doesn't need to worry.
A very important man will appear in her future.
——He Yunji.
He was the man that countless celebrities and wealthy women in Hai City dreamed of. And in her dreams, this man was hers.
Even though He Yunji was once Lu Yanyan's fiancé, he eventually fell in love with herself and helped her completely defeat Lu Yanyan.
Lu Yanyan and He Yunji's engagement party was a turning point. Lin Churou accidentally fell into the water, and when He Yunji rescued her, he saw the birthmark on her body and knew that she was the white moonlight of his youth!
From then on, the two of them started the mode of the cold and doting boss pinching his wife's waist with red eyes and madly pampering her!
The change of her and He Yunji's fate will happen tomorrow!
Therefore, tomorrow's engagement party is very important to Lin Churou. After all, it's Lu Yanyan's engagement party, so what if she steals the limelight?
But these were all Lin Churou's inner thoughts. On the surface, she continued to smile and say to Liu Ling'er, "Miss Liu, you misunderstood! Since this is Miss Lu's engagement party, we haven't had enough time to offer our blessings yet, so why would we try to steal the limelight?"
Lin Churou's eyes were filled with tenderness, making people feel happy. "Yuhan studied fashion design abroad, so she has some opinions on dresses!"
"Yeah, we were just casually talking, Liu Ling'er, don't make a big deal out of it!" Liao Yuhan echoed, "Besides, our Rourou is naturally pretty. If she really steals Miss Lu's limelight, there's nothing we can do about it! Isn't that right?"
Liu Ling'er choked.
She is too young after all and cannot resist two cups of hot green tea.
What are you thinking about?
[No matter how beautiful Lin Zhaoyi's dress is, it's just a custom-made piece from House A, while the eldest daughter's engagement dress is a custom-made piece from House H!]
[Besides, the eldest daughter is bright and beautiful, while Lin Churou is pretty. Is Lin Churou more beautiful than the eldest daughter? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if you tell others about it?]
The unexpected voice attracted Liu Ling'er's attention. When Liu Ling'er turned around, she saw Lin Cha leisurely eating a small cake not far away.
——Lin Cha and her stylist had been here for a while. They were supposed to ask the waiter to try on the dresses, but they saw Liu Ling'er and Lin Churou arguing.
How could Lin Cha miss the chance to eat melons on the spot!
Seeing Lin Cha also coming, Liu Ling'er instantly became interested and happily pulled Lin Cha to her side, "Why are you here too?"
"Sister Yun asked me to try on the dress." Lin Cha answered truthfully.
"Try on a dress?" Liao Yuhan sneered, "Lin Cha, what are you bragging about? Is there any brand willing to lend you a dress now?"
Lin Cha glanced at Liao Yuhan disdainfully.
Oh! Isn't this the Liao family's illegitimate daughter? She went over to flirt with her. She flirted with her original self, hoping to become her follower and connect with the Lin family, but the original self looked down on her. Later, when Lin Churou returned, she quickly flirted with her. She flirted with Lin Churou and repeatedly worked with her to get revenge on Lin Cha!
The circle of wealthy people in Shanghai is so small that I unexpectedly met him here.
"Thanks to you guys, no brand is willing to lend me a dress," Lin Cha said pitifully. "But, Sister Yun just asked me to come to Blue to try on dresses. She said all I had to do was tell me my last name."
Lin Cha looked at the waiter and said, "My last name is Lin."
"Are you Miss Lin too?" This time it was the waiter's turn to be confused.
Lin Churou is Miss Lin, and Lin Cha is also Miss Lin. The boss just said that it was a dress for Miss Lin, but didn’t mention the specific name!
This is embarrassing.
Lin Churou's face darkened.
In fact, her mother had already prepared a dress for her, and she had tried it on. It was beautiful, but not as good as the haute couture dress specially prepared by Lin Zhaoyi.
When the waiter said this, she understood.
This dress was ordered by Lin Zhaoyi for Lin Cha, and he still hasn't let go of Lin Cha!
But they just thanked Lin Zhaoyi for a long time and argued with Liu Ling'er for a long time. Now are they going to hand over the dress to Lin Cha?
That's so embarrassing!
Liao Yuhan looked at Lin Churou's expression and realized something was wrong, but she still took the initiative and said, "Are you kidding? Didn't you say that this was a dress that Brother Zhao Yi customized for his sister? Who else could it be if not our Rourou?"
Liao Yuhan looked at Lin Cha again and said, "Lin Cha, you are an abandoned daughter of a wealthy family. You were kicked out of the Lin family a long time ago. You are not so shameless as to pretend to be the eldest daughter of the Lin family, are you?"
“Ah, this…”
Lin Cha blinked and pouted in grievance.
[I discovered that the dress was custom-made by Lin Zhaoyi, so I hesitated to admit that the "Miss Lin" the waiter was referring to was me!]
"I don't want to wear the dress he ordered! Why is he throwing dirty water on me?"
Liu Ling'er understood the twists and turns and suddenly said, "Why bother the waiter? It's such a simple matter, can't you just call Lin Zhaoyi and ask?"
Liao Yuhan's eyes lit up, "Yes! Rourou, call Brother Zhaoyi! I believe Brother Zhaoyi must care about you more!"
Lin Churou hesitated for a moment.
Lin Zhaoyi had always supported Lin Cha, even locking himself up in the old house for the better part of a month because of Lin Cha! What would she do if he sided with Lin Cha again this time?!
But everyone was looking at her expectantly, and Lin Churou felt uneasy. She could only say awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I forgot to bring my phone. Isn't there my brother's contact information in the VIP room? Can you give him a call and ask?"
The waiter bowed and apologized, then quickly went to find contact information.
At the same time, Lin Churou quickly went to the bathroom, took out her cell phone and called Lin Zhaoyi.
Lin Churou's voice was filled with tears. "Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't know that the dress you left at Blue was for Cha Cha... I've never received a dress from you, and I thought it was for me... I'm sorry, brother. Since this is your gift to Cha Cha, I won't take it away..."
Lin Zhaoyi was stunned.
Unexpectedly, Lin Churou called to talk about this matter. He originally thought that the dress his mother prepared for Churou did not require his concern.
But thinking about it carefully, he had indeed never prepared a dress for Lin Churou, mainly because he didn't know Lin Churou's size.
"It's okay, brother," Lin Churou said sympathetically, "I've learned my lesson last time. I won't fight with Cha Cha again. Go to work, brother. I won't bother you anymore!"
Having said that, Lin Churou hung up the phone.
But maybe the phone connection was not good, so the call was not completely hung up, but was put into Lin Churou's pocket. Lin Zhaoyi could still vaguely hear the voice on the other end -
"Rou Rou, that dress wasn't really prepared for Lin Cha, was it? Was there a mistake?!"
——This is Liao Yuhan’s voice.
"It seems to be true! Then I can't compete with Cha Cha. Cha Cha has been with her brother for so many years, it's only natural that her brother loves her more. I don't have a dress...it's okay!"
"But you are his biological sister!"
"It's okay! I suffered a little, but everyone is harmonious, that's all that matters! I don't want my brother to worry about me anymore..."
Then, the phone was completely hung up.
Lin Zhaoyi looked at the phone which only had a busy tone, and his heart suddenly felt a pain.
After all, Chu Rou... is also his sister!
Does he really care too little about Chu Rou?
At this time, the assistant hurried over and asked about Lin Zhaoyi's dress.
Lin Zhaoyi hesitated for a second, "Is Chu Rou in Blue?"
"Yes." The assistant hesitated whether to say that Lin Cha was also present at the scene, but since Lin Zhaoyi didn't ask, he didn't say anything.
"Then tell the people at Blue that the dress... can be considered as a gift from me to Chu Rou!"
The waiter quickly replied to Lin Churou and Lin Cha.
"I'm sorry, our people didn't make it clear just now. This dress was indeed custom-made for you by Miss Lin Churou's brother, Mr. Lin Zhaoyi."
"That's what I told you!" Liao Yuhan's voice was filled with joy. "Brother Zhaoyi, of course, cares more about Rourou! How could he care about a fake daughter?"
As he spoke, Liao Yuhan glanced at Lin Cha sarcastically.
Liu Ling'er was very indignant. Lin Cha's information was definitely not false, so it must be that Lin Zhaoyi changed his mind at the last minute.
Bah, stinky man!
【but……】
Lin Cha didn't really care about Lin Zhaoyi's dress. She was more concerned about -
[This was custom-made by Lin Zhaoyi according to my size, right? Will Lin Churou be able to wear it?]
Liu Ling'er also looked at Lin Churou.
Although Lin Churou and Lin Cha were about the same height and weight, Lin Churou had a more delicate appearance and a skinnier build, while Lin Cha had a more voluptuous figure and a more voluptuous figure. A couture dress fits perfectly to the body; if the size is wrong, it will look strange on you.
Liu Ling'er teased, "Lin Churou, since this dress was specially customized for you by your brother, why not try it on and see for yourself?"
Liao Yuhan also said in support, "Yes, Rourou, you will definitely stun the whole audience in this dress! Come and try it on!"
Lin Churou was also secretly delighted.
Lin Zhaoyi probably didn't know Lin Cha was there, otherwise how could she have said the dress was hers? But it was just as well. She had been humiliated by Lin Cha several times before, and this time she was determined to get it back!
She's just a fake daughter! Why do you think you can ride on her head?
Lin Churou nodded and walked into the locker room.
The hem of the dress was spread out, embroidered with pearls and diamonds, like a galaxy in the black night sky, bright and dazzling.
With the help of the waiter, Lin Churou put on the beautiful haute couture dress. The dress fit every inch of her skin, as if it was tailor-made for her.
However, the waiter felt the strain as the back zipper was being folded.
"Ms. Lin, please take a breath and tighten your abdomen."
Lin Churou paused, straightened her chest and sucked in her stomach.
The waiter said awkwardly, "Ms. Lin, please take another breath! I can't pull it up..."
Lin Churou's face flushed red. She took a deep breath and said, "I've gained weight recently. I used to have no problem wearing a skirt like this! Brother must have ordered the clothes according to my old size!"
"hehe……"
The waiter smiled awkwardly, "Please take a deep breath, we will try harder!"
"Can't you change the size?" Lin Churou asked embarrassedly.
"It's not that I can't, but the craftsmanship of this dress is quite complicated, and it's getting late. I definitely won't be able to finish it tomorrow."
"As for the first part..."
The waiter noticed that the front of Lin Churou's dress was empty. Because she was too thin, the two empty pockets on her chest looked like a kangaroo mother without her cubs.
Waiter: "I'll find two cotton pads to stuff in there when the time comes...it'll look like it will fit."
"I lost weight... but too much, and I shrunk!" Lin Churou defended.
"Hmm..." the waiter smiled, "Our designer got the size wrong and didn't design it right! I'm glad you're not angry with us, Miss Lin... Let's take a few more breaths, a few more!"
Lin Churou's face turned even redder because she was holding her breath. She gritted her teeth and took a deep breath again, pulling her entire lower abdomen back in.
The waiter behind me exerted force and finally zipped it up!!!
The two were overjoyed and wanted to high-five to celebrate.
But just when Lin Churou breathed a sigh of relief, with a "ripping" sound, the custom-made dress from House A suddenly tore apart from the side! From the waist to the hips!
【The dress was torn?】
[Lin Churou, do you really have to fight so hard? ]
"puff--"
Liu Ling'er was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the VIP center, drinking black tea, when she suddenly heard Lin Cha's thoughts.
Torn?
Hahahahahahahahahahaha!
Lin Churou isn't fat! She probably just has a bigger frame!
Why bother with this!
"Alas, if it's not yours, you shouldn't force it!"
Liao Yuhan was also sitting aside eating snacks and heard Liu Ling'er's sarcasm.
"Liu Ling'er, what are you talking about!" Liao Yuhan said indignantly, "Didn't the people from Blue just say that this dress is soft and gentle!"
"Don't you know it yourself?" Liu Ling'er smiled.
Liao Yuhan's face turned pale, "You'll know when Rourou comes out!"
[Ah! The dress is damaged. Can I still wear it? ]
Lin Cha was genuinely curious. [However, Liao Yuhan didn't know that Lin Churou's dress had been stretched, so she was expecting her to come out in a dress. It's not surprising!]
Liu Ling'er's eyes rolled.
Liao Yuhan didn’t know that Lin Churou had torn her dress... What a pity!
How could it be that only she and Lin Cha knew about such an interesting scene?
At this time, a waiter came over with dessert and placed it on the coffee table. Liu Ling'er suddenly grabbed the waiter's hand.
"What did you say? Lin Churou fainted in the locker room?!"
waiter:? ? ?
Liao Yuhan:!!!
The waiter looked confused and Liao Yuhan was horrified.
"Something happened to Rourou?"
"He broke his bones!" Liu Ling'er looked "heartbroken".
Liao Yuhan didn't even bother to eat snacks anymore. She lifted her skirt and rushed to the locker room!
The dressing room in the VIP center is a stage with a diameter of about three meters, half of which is surrounded by a curved mirror and the rest is covered by white curtains.
——This design is similar to that of high-end bridal shops, ensuring that when the curtain is opened, the groom outside, or the girlfriends and friends of the customer who is changing clothes, can see the customer's most beautiful moment.
So, when Liao Yuhan rushed forward without hesitation and lifted the curtain, the scene of Lin Churou awkwardly pulling at the torn part of her dress was exposed.
Liao Yuhan saw it.
Lin Cha and Liu Ling'er saw it.
All the VIP customers at the scene saw it.
Lin Churou felt her breathing stagnate and her mind went blank.
Her body couldn't help but make her burp.
The next second, the two breast pads that the waiter had stuffed into her chest with great difficulty suddenly rolled out!
One of them wobbled and rolled to Lin Cha's feet; the other one wobbled and rolled to another place, and was stepped on and turned into a pancake by a waiter who was serving snacks.
Lin Churou: “…”
waiter:"……"
The waiter was stunned for two seconds before realizing what he had stepped on. He said in panic, "Ms. Lin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that! I'll get you a new one right away."
Lin Churou's face turned pale and blue, and her shoulders trembled.
"No!"
The waiter bowed repeatedly, "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"What are you still standing there for!" Lin Churou side-glanced, gritted her teeth, and yelled at the waiter who was helping her put on her clothes, "Draw the curtains!"
The waiter next to him was also encountering such a situation for the first time. He only reacted after being reminded by Lin Churou and quickly let go to pull the curtain.
But when he let go, not only did the curtain fail to close, but Lin Churou's skirt, which was already torn, tore even wider!
A cool and refreshing glow of skin was instantly revealed in front of everyone.
"ah--"
Lin Churou screamed in fright and quickly covered her clothes.
The waitress's face turned pale. She couldn't take care of either side. Gritting her teeth, she was the first to close the curtain of the dressing room.
Liao Yuhan stood blankly behind the dressing curtain for several seconds.
Rourou was not unconscious at all...
So she was just being tricked by Liu Ling'er?
Beside my ears, I could hear the whispers of customers in the VIP service room:
"Is that the real daughter that the Lin family took back some time ago? It's just a dress, what's there to grab? Don't you think it's embarrassing?"
"I saw that adopted daughter was so well behaved and silent, she was quite attractive. I didn't expect the real daughter to behave like this!"
"Also, I heard that Madam Lin had already prepared a dress for Lin Churou. This one should be prepared by her brother for his adopted daughter, right? You're so intolerant of others that you're trying to snatch a dress from her?"
"That Liao family's daughter is so ignorant! She's just changing clothes, why is she rushing up there? She has no manners at all!"
Even though she was not the one who was truly embarrassed, Liao Yuhan's face looked very ugly.
Liu Ling'er and Lin Cha comfortably ate the Macron prepared in the VIP room.
Liao Yuhan was so angry that she rushed to Lin Cha: "Lin Cha! Liu Ling'er, you did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Liu Ling'er was too lazy to pay attention to Liao Yuhan, but Lin Cha looked up with a confused look on her face, "Ah? What did I do on purpose?"
Liao Yuhan angrily pointed at Lin Cha's nose, "It's you! You deliberately framed Rourou and made her embarrassed! Lin Cha, how could you be so cruel? No wonder the Lin family kicked you out! You deserve not to be able to borrow a dress! This is how your life will be. You'll never be able to win over Rourou!"
"Who said my Cha Cha doesn't have a dress anymore?"
Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice sounded behind me. It was like the wind in the fields, or the waves on the sea, casual yet with a hint of laziness.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Chenzui had come behind Lin Cha without them noticing.
