Chapter 76 Lu Lian'er is punished!
Lu Lian'er was so angry that she was trembling all over. She didn't understand why Xia Mian could be in this kind of occasion? Why could Xia Mian wear a haute couture dress and look at her with a condescending gaze!
And she! Lu Lian'er, she's clearly a hundred times better at coaxing her three older brothers than Xia Mian!
Even though Lu Lian'er is a recommended student at Mingcheng University, she can only sit in that small banquet hall on the second floor!
The fire of jealousy burning within her was like wild grass, making her eyes red and gradually moistening. "Xia Mian, I know you're jealous that I'm a top student at Mingcheng University. You chose a university right next to Mingcheng yourself, and you're not happy about it!"
"But didn't you choose that university yourself? Who are you blaming!"
"Miss Lu, what are you saying?" Xu Luo swirled the wine glass in her hand, feeling that Lu Lian'er and the Xia family members all seemed to have lost their minds. "Designer Xia attended a legitimate Mingcheng University! And her score was twenty or thirty points higher than the admission cutoff!"
"What did you call her? Designer Xia?" Lu Lian'er trembled, involuntarily taking a half-step back, and crookedly nestled into Xia Qinglin's arms. "President Xu, I don't understand what you're saying?"
"I heard you stole your spot from Designer Xia, so it's normal that you can't understand what I'm saying, given your actual level. After all, I speak in such plain and easy-to-understand language, and you, a so-called guaranteed admission student, can't even understand me... It really makes me question Mingcheng University's standards for selecting guaranteed admission students..." Xu Luo's sarcastic voice echoed throughout the banquet hall.
When the Xia family members came over to confront Xia Mianchu, they attracted the attention of many guests.
After all, who doesn't like to enjoy readily available gossip?
Several highly respected individuals, though outwardly still chatting and laughing, had already been listening intently.
One of them was a board member of Mingcheng University. Upon hearing what Xu Luo said, he immediately came over and asked, "Ms. Lu, are you a recommended student of Mingcheng University? Our requirements for recommended admission are very strict. What are the requirements you have met?"
Lu Lian'er looked at the member with a pale face, "I...I..."
"She didn't meet any of the requirements, yet she stole Xia Mian's guaranteed admission spot!" Zhao Baoqi said angrily to the other members. "Uncle Fang, you have to stand up for my best friend!"
"Since Miss Lu does not meet the requirements for admission to Mingcheng University, please withdraw from the list of recommended students." After saying this, Fang Yicheng took out his phone and started calling the admissions office of Mingcheng University.
"Old Liu, what's going on with that student named Lu Lian'er who got her guaranteed admission? She obtained her spot through improper means. Cancel it! It must be canceled now!"
Lu Lian'er was completely stunned, staring blankly at Fang Yicheng, and screamed, "No! Don't!"
If her guaranteed admission is cancelled and she doesn't take the college entrance exam, wouldn't she become a student without a school to attend?
Without thinking, she rushed to Fang Yicheng, grabbed his arm, and pleaded desperately.
"Mr. Fang, please, please don't cancel my spot... Please, I'll do anything you ask, I'll kneel down for you... I'll kneel down for you, okay?"
Fang Yicheng expressionlessly shook off Lu Lian'er, "As a member of the board of directors of Mingcheng University, I will severely punish anyone who violates the admission rules!"
Lu Lian'er fell to the ground, her face streaked with tears, looking pitiful and pathetic.
However... none of the big shots, bigwigs, socialites, and wealthy ladies present sympathized with her.
Everyone here is smart; otherwise, they wouldn't be at the top.
The moment Lu Lian'er appeared and opened her mouth, everyone immediately understood what kind of tea she was.
Only those idiots in the Xia family would treat her tea as a high-class delicacy.
“That’s right! We will resolutely protect the rights of our designer Xia. Her own brother may be blind, but we are not.” Xu Luo smiled meaningfully. “Everyone has eyes, and we won’t be fooled by a scheming green tea.”
"Mr. Xu, Ms. Xia... do you have any design drafts?" A curious socialite asked the question that everyone wanted to know.
Xu Luo was surprised for a moment, then smiled proudly.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you that Xia is one of the top designers at Xuluo Jewelry. The recently highly praised Luosheng series jewelry, as well as the Xiahua series jewelry that we launched last month and which was snapped up, are both designed by Xia."
"She is incredibly talented and consistently creates blockbuster products, making her a highly sought-after asset for us at Xulu Jewelry."
"My God! Summer flowers? Fallen life?"
"I love it! I bought them all!"
"These two jewelry collections are the hottest items this year! Many smaller brands are jumping on the bandwagon!"
"I never expected that it was Miss Xia who designed it!"
"So beautiful!"
Almost everyone present stared at Xia Mian in shock.
If she were just an ordinary designer, that would be one thing, but she is so young, and her jewelry designs are consistently bestsellers, clearly distinguishing her from other designers.
A sophisticated and elegant lady, adorned with jewels, approached Xia Mian and said gently, "Miss Xia, I would like to invite you to design a set of exclusive jewelry for me. Is that alright? The price will be the highest in the industry, how about that?"
As if afraid that Xia Mian would not agree, she added eagerly, "I really like Miss Xia's design concept."
Lu Lian'er's face turned as white as paper. She simply couldn't believe her ears. Xia Mian was actually the designer of Xu Luo Jewelry!
How is that possible?
How insignificant and ridiculous Lu Lian'er, an intern, seemed in front of Xia Mian!
She finally understood why Xu Luo and her brother were always so impatient with her.
"Xia Mian, was it you! Was it you who made things difficult for me in front of President Xu?"
"You're overestimating yourself, aren't you?" Xia Mian glanced at her indifferently. "You're just a loser who got disqualified from admission. You're not even worthy of being someone I make things difficult for."
The implication is that you're terrible!
You don't deserve it!
"Miss Lu, do you think everyone is like you, engaging in underhanded tactics and sowing discord?" Xu Luo, as a powerful female CEO, had long wanted to say, "If it weren't for your meddling, the three Xia brothers wouldn't be so disgusted with Designer Xia. Just because you're this kind of person doesn't mean everyone in the world is like you."
"Judging others by one's own petty standards!"
Everyone present looked at Lu Lian'er with disdain and contempt.
Some families have stepsisters or illegitimate children, and they know all too well what it feels like to have such a troublemaker in the family—it's like swallowing a fly. They wish they could slap her to death!
Just then, Madam Fu's authoritative voice rang out, "This is a graduation banquet I'm hosting for Mianmian and my grandchildren. Where did you random cats and dogs come from? You're not welcome here!"
