Shen Yuejin's harsh words had no effect on anyone except herself, especially Xi Luo.
Yan Qiao glanced at Xi Luo and said, "Aren't you being a little too cruel?"
"It's better than dragging her along, I really don't like her."
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
Then, Yan Qiao's phone suddenly rang.
It was Yan Shu who asked her to take a full-body photo when she had time.
Yan Qiao: […Filming here?]
Yan Shu: [Yes, just take a few pictures and send them to your mom. The brand of your dress can use them; give them some face.]
Yan Qiao had no choice but to have Xi Luo take a few pictures, which she didn't edit, and then sent them directly to Yan Shu.
Xi Luo said, "Which brand is it? They're so casual about it."
"I don't know, it's probably a no-name brand."
Sylvain glanced at it twice, but it didn't quite look like it.
"Next time you need a dress, just come to me, and I'll have someone make one for you."
If you just casually walk in wearing some cheap, generic brand, these snobbish rich girls will look down on you.
Yan Qiao waved her hand, "I don't have many opportunities to participate in these activities either."
She wouldn't have come today if the organizers hadn't sent her an invitation, and if Xiluo hadn't invited her.
Unbeknownst to Yan Qiao, not long after, L's family posted photos of Yan Qiao in a black diamond-encrusted evening gown on their official Weibo account.
These are all photos taken by Shiloh just now.
His photos really reflect the aesthetics of a straight man, but Yan Qiao's good bone structure made her look good and she managed to pull it off.
L's family is also capricious; they didn't even Photoshop the photos and just released the raw images directly.
Su Ya was scrolling through Weibo out of boredom when she saw these pictures, and her lips twitched.
This woman is so casual.
A no-name brand? Does she really consider L a no-name brand?
She handed the phone to Shen Yuejin and said, "The dress she's wearing is a haute couture piece from L's."
Shen Yuejin was already furious, and when she saw this, she almost smashed her phone.
Yan Yaoyao's expression was no less so. How could Yan Qiao possibly have money? Could it be that Yan Shu bought it?
That's even more impossible!
She lived in that house for so many years, how could she not know what the situation was like there?
"I guess it really was bought by Xi Luo, but Yan Qiao doesn't dare to admit it," she murmured.
These words completely ignited Shen Yuejin's anger. She searched for Xi Luo and Yan Qiao in the arena, but could not find them.
Yan Yaoyao originally wanted to follow, but stopped in her tracks at this moment.
Her pupils dilated, unable to hide her surprise.
The ship sank!
Shen Zhou actually came, and he was accompanied by a woman.
Su Ya raised an eyebrow. "Yao Yao, didn't you say Chen Zhou wasn't coming today? Who's the woman with him? Do you know her?"
Thanks to Chen Lan, almost everyone at the charity gala knew that Yan Yaoyao and Shen Zhou were dating.
So, Shen Zhou brought another woman here without his girlfriend's knowledge?
At the same time, Chen Lan also walked towards Yan Yaoyao.
"What's going on? Didn't Chen Zhou say he wasn't coming?"
She could already feel the mocking looks from the audience as she slapped someone in the face.
Yan Yaoyao looked helpless. "I don't know either. He did tell me he was busy."
Chen Lan was annoyed by her daughter's lack of ambition, but now was not the time to discipline her, so she could only pretend to be calm and lead Yan Yaoyao forward.
"Chenzhou, why didn't you tell Auntie you were coming? Didn't you say you were busy? Did you decide to come at the last minute?"
Shen Zhou was taken aback, looked at Yan Yaoyao, and suddenly understood.
He was about to speak when Yan Yaoyao came over and took his hand.
He pleaded in a low voice, "Please help me, for the sake of the time I saved your life. Just play along with my act, or my mom will beat me to death."
Seeing her red-rimmed eyes, Chen Zhou's heart softened.
"The last time."
He smiled at Chen Lan and said, "Auntie, this is my secretary. She decided to come over at the last minute, so she didn't tell you and Yao Yao in advance."
Chen Lan smiled with satisfaction, "I see, that's what I was wondering about."
Shiloh, standing by the fountain outside the door, raised an eyebrow.
"If they're cooperating like this, does Yan Yaoyao have something on Chen Zhou?"
Yan Qiao chuckled softly, "It's not a handle, it's a life-saving grace."
“Is that so?” Xi Luo raised an eyebrow.
Yan remained silent, unable to understand why Chen Zhou remembered his casual rescue so clearly.
From another perspective, although Chen Zhou was foolish, he was quite loyal.
Before long, the organizers led everyone outside to watch the light show and fireworks.
The adjacent musical fountain creates a romantic atmosphere.
Yan Qiao took out her phone, snapped a picture of the beautiful fireworks and light show at night, and posted it on Weibo.
Yan Qiao V: [Did you watch the fireworks? [Image]]
It was at this moment that she discovered that her dress photo had been posted by L's official account.
Yan Qiao: "..." Wasn't it supposed to be a no-name brand?
She turned her head and asked Shiloh, "How much does L's haute couture usually cost?"
Xi Luo said, "Evening gowns generally cost over 1.5 million, and custom-made ones will cost double that. They are not something that just anyone can buy; there are entry requirements."
Some items require SVIP membership to be eligible for purchase.
Yan Qiao clicked her tongue in surprise. She used to spend most of her time at school and wore her school uniform almost every day. Chen Lan would never take her to such a banquet.
She knew very little about luxury goods.
She looked down at the dress she was wearing; it was undoubtedly from the L brand.
Starting at least 1.5 million? She couldn't help but feel immense pressure. Had Yan Shu emptied her savings?
Lost in thought, Yan Qiao felt a sense of crisis and suddenly turned around.
Seeing Shen Yuejin's hand coming towards her, Xi Luo grabbed her arm and dodged to the side. Shen Yuejin missed her target and, losing her balance, was pushed towards Yan Yaoyao in front of her.
As a result, Yan Yaoyao screamed and fell into the musical fountain.
"Help! I can't swim!"
Yan Qiao watched as she thrashed about in the fountain, where the water was less than a meter deep.
Shen Yuejin glared hatefully at Yan Qiao, barely managing to steady herself so that she wouldn't fall down with her.
Before she could even stand still, Xi Luo stretched out her long leg and kicked her down.
"Since you like pushing people so much, let me let you experience that feeling too."
"Yuejin!" Chen Zhou shouted, "Xiluo, are you crazy? She's my sister!"
Xi Luo scoffed, "If she weren't your sister, I wouldn't have kicked her."
Yan Qiao rolled her eyes, cursed him as an idiot in her heart, and suddenly kicked him down.
"You should go down and sober up too!"
The sunken boat just sank down like that, its face filled with disbelief.
Only after standing up did I realize how shallow the water was.
He turned to look at Yan Yaoyao, who was still struggling, his face ashen.
"You can't swim!"
Yan Yaoyao only came to her senses after hearing his words, when Shen Yuejin slapped her across the face.
"How stupid! Why are you yelling for help!"
Chen Zhou grabbed her and helped her up, his gaze fixed intently on her.
"You can't swim!"
Yan Yaoyao hurriedly explained, "I could do it when I was little, but I can't now."
Yan Qiao scoffed, "Chen Zhou, that's why I say you're stupid. You can just look up which schools participated in the field trip with a flick of your finger, instead of going around mistaking your savior for someone else."
