"Oh my god! Forgive my young and fragile heart, I can't take this reversal."
"I never expected that Zou Qian is just like the rumors say, using men to climb the social ladder. This time she wanted to latch onto Mr. John, but she ended up hooking up with a traitor to the John family."
"Yes, Zou Qian is finished now. Her acting career is probably over."
"It's good that it's over. If Mr. John had pursued it further, he would probably have gone to jail. That's plagiarism, which is terrible."
One thought can lead to heaven or hell; some people go to heaven while others are destined to fall into hell.
"My God, you really are Mr. John! I never expected you to come to our annual star-studded gala in China."
"Haha, Miss Su, is this your friend?"
"Yes, Mr. John, this is my friend, Zhao Ling'er. Isn't our Ling'er very pretty?"
"Haha, your friend is quite adorable. I'm so sorry about today. My good-for-nothing son has caused you all trouble and even made Miss Su misunderstand."
Mentioning Little John, Mr. John's face showed anger again.
“It’s alright, Mr. John.”
"I am truly sorry. How about this, as compensation, I have decided to have a dress made for Miss Zhao Ling'er next to you. Is that alright?"
"No, no, no, I'm not hurt, so it's alright, Mr. John."
"When I make clothes for people, I only consider fate. This dress is a gift from me, so please don't refuse, Miss Ling'er."
"Just accept it. Didn't you hear what Mr. John said?" Su Ke'er said to Zhao Ling'er.
"Thank you, Mr. John."
"Also, Miss Su, I will design and make five dresses for you free of charge. That means you won't have to pay me for the dresses next year, as we agreed."
"No need, Mr. John. I'm already very grateful that you agreed to design a dress for me, and now you're doing it for free."
"Miss Su, please don't refuse, my mind is made up."
"Alright then, thank you, Mr. John. May I ask what's going on with little John?"
"Haha, I'm bored anyway, so I'll just tell you all about it."
“Our John family has made clothes for Western royalty for generations. We are the royal craftsmen. Little John was once my personal apprentice. He was extremely talented, but unfortunately he went astray.”
“As you all know, all the clothes I, John, design are one-of-a-kind, but little John believes that we should keep up with the times so that we can bring greater benefits to our John family.”
“We had a disagreement, and after a big argument, he started secretly stealing my design drawings and making counterfeit clothes. Miss Su saw it; the dress you just saw was one he made.”
"My purpose in coming to China this time is twofold: first, to deliver a dress to Miss Su; and second, to attend a party and capture him."
"So that's how it is."
"So the inconvenience caused to you two today is entirely due to my indulgence."
“Mr. John, you did the right thing. You are a father.”
“Yes, I am a father, but I am also the best tailor in the world!” John said with a proud smile and piercing eyes, as if he had returned to his former glory days.
"Alright, Miss Su, Miss Zhao, and Mr. Wang, you don't need to keep this old man company anymore. Go do whatever you need to do."
“Mr. John, to be honest, we don’t have much to do.”
“Yes, Mr. John, those people are all hypocritical and pretentious, so boring. If it weren’t for you, Kerr and I might be chatting in a corner right now.”
"Haha, okay, then you can stay by my side and keep me company. It's fate."
News of Mr. John's presence quickly spread throughout the entire party.
Apart from the organizers, no one knew that Mr. John had returned today.
So they all tried to get in touch with Mr. John.
When they arrived, they were instantly envious to see Su Ke'er and the others chatting happily with Mr. John.
This old man is among the top internationally. If you can get in touch with him, you can have as many resources as you want.
However, many people approached but no one dared to strike up a conversation. They all knew that Mr. John had a strange temper and were afraid of losing more than they gained by trying to steal him.
At the same time, reporters also published the news that Zou Qian and Su Ke'er were wearing the same outfit.
The first major scandal of 2025 has emerged, directly crippling Weibo.
Most netizens applauded.
"Zou Qian deserves it! Her acting skills are usually terrible, yet she still wants to be a Best Actress?"
"That's right, that's right. He probably used to climb the social ladder by relying on men, but this time he fell for my goddess."
"My goddess looks so beautiful today! As expected of the dress designed by Master John, it's perfect for her!"
"Yeah, that Zou Qian is definitely a knock-off. She looks nothing like my goddess in that outfit. How did she have the courage to wear it out?"
The organizers have also learned of the matter and are taking emergency measures. It should be noted that Zou Qian was the winner of the Best Actress award tonight, but now they have no choice but to replace her.
Zou Qian's agency also immediately stepped forward to clarify that this was Zou Qian's personal behavior and had nothing to do with them.
"What should we do? Who should we replace now?" In the lounge, a group of referees and organizers gathered for a meeting.
"That Zou Qian is such an idiot! Who was it that said the award should be given to her in the first place?"
Among them are many people with close relationships.
"Who knew Zou Qian would do something like this? Now is not the time to complain. Who should we give the award to next?"
"In my opinion, we should just award it to Zhao Ling'er."
"Isn't Zhao Ling'er too young? Although her acting skills are very good, she doesn't have the seniority to compete with."
"If it were based on seniority, would it have been awarded to Zou Qian? Since seniority wasn't the first time, why the hell are we going to use seniority this time!"
"Old Zhang, calm down, we're discussing this."
"Discuss what?! There's only half an hour left in the awards ceremony. At this rate, we won't finish discussing this all day!"
The large screen in the lounge was playing footage from the scene. Suddenly, someone saw Su Ke'er and the others sitting with John, surrounded by a crowd, but no one dared to approach.
"What is the relationship between Zhao Ling'er and the others and Mr. John?"
"It seems to me that they have a good relationship."
"Yes, otherwise, let's give the Best Actress award to Zhao Ling'er. This girl's appearance and acting skills are impeccable."
As expected of a seasoned veteran in the entertainment industry, upon seeing the close relationship between Zhao Ling'er and Mr. John, he immediately changed his rhetoric.
