Zhao Yuexiu, after all, had been nurtured by the high society, particularly in the aspect of selecting clothes, and she was truly impeccable.
The goose-yellow dress perfectly accentuated Chi Ruoxi’s fair skin and delicate waist, making her look like a little princess from a Disney movie.
Luo Qianqian genuinely plimented, "It really looks good."
Chi Ruoxi shyly lowered her head.
Zhao Yuexiu smiled, her gaze surveying Luo Qianqian who was dressed simply, and deliberately asked, "This uping international jewelry design petition in M country is quite significant, and since you’re on good terms with the president, you must have secured tickets, right?"
She asked this deliberately because she knew that Luo Qianqian hadn’t gotten a ticket.
After all, there were only five entry tickets available, and Chi Ruoxi was the last to receive one; they had already been allocated.
Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian obviously picked up on the malice in Zhao Yuexiu’s words, and their expressions slightly changed.
Knowing that Chi Guihe and Zhao Yuexiu didn’t have a good relationship, Chi Yunjin did not say much, only vaguely menting, "We didn’t get the tickets from Huaxia."
When she said "didn’t get," Zhao Yuexiu naturally took it as "didn’t manage to get."
She sneered, with a hint of mockery, "Oh, you’re so close to the president yet didn’t manage to get one? Didn’t he think of reserving one for you?"
Chi Ruoxi quickly said, "There’s always next year! Qianqian will learn well from the president for a year, and she’ll surely surpass me next year!"
She was unaware of Mrs. Fu’s presence, assuming that Luo Qianqian was taken as a student by Bao Jianfeng.
Zhao Yuexiu replied with some disdain, "This year’s jewelry design petition will involve masters from all over the world, and next year might not offer such a spectacular lineup!"
She glanced Luo Qianqian up and down, proudly adding, "Yunjin, listen to my advice, you still need your own strength, otherwise, even if you cling to the higher-ups, it’s of no use!"
Chi Yunjin, not wanting to engage in a verbal skirmish with her, just smiled and walked away with Luo Qianqian.
However, Zhao Yuexiu misinterpreted this, watching Chi Yunjin’s retreating back and scoffed, "What’s the use of dining in such a high-end restaurant? They still wouldn’t give them a second glance."
Chi Ruoxi frowned, wanting to argue, but dared not.
-
After buying the clothes and returning home, Luo Qianqian called Chi Gui first, informing her about Chi Ruoxi and Zhao Yuexiu possibly going to M country to watch the petition.
She knew Chi Gui didn’t like that family, so she thought to give her a heads-up.
But Chi Gui didn’t show much reaction.
To her, except for Chi Yunjin and Luo Qianqian, the Chi family members were just strangers.
What a stranger wanted to do or where they wanted to go had nothing to do with her, and it was none of her business.
After confirming the arrival time with Luo Qianqian, Chi Gui hung up the phone.
-
A week passed by swiftly.
Soon, it was the day of the International Jewelry Design petition.
Early in the morning, Chi Gui was bombarded with incessant phone rings.
She groggily answered, only to hear a voice brimming with vitality from the other end, "Hello!! Cute little Xiao Chi, I’ve finally e to M country, and I can finally meet you face to face!! Let’s have dinner together after the petition!!"
Chi Gui: ...
This noise, akin to a demonic sound piercing her brain, made her immediately press the end call button.
After a while, the other party called again.
However, this time, the voice was noticeably softer, "Ah... you’re still as heartless as ever! Seeing you haven’t changed reassures me. Shall we have dinner after my petition?"
