Chapter 174: Chapter 174 Can I Take a Photo?
Ye Xinyu finished speaking and shyly glanced at Gu Zuocheng before snuggling into his arms. She then turned around…
She had expected to be favored by a crowd of fashion enthusiasts.
Yet, as she turned, she saw an old man standing excitedly in front of Ye Shu, circling around her, constantly exclaiming, “Beautiful, truly beautiful! Miss, may I take a photo of you?”
Due to this unexpected scene, everyone neglected the newlywed couple on stage and stared fixedly in Ye Shu’s direction.
Ye Xinyu turned pale with anger.
Guan Zhizhi, as a bridesmaid, immediately leaned in and asked, “Sister Xinyu, do you know that old man? Is he from the fashion industry?”
Ye Xinyu shook her head. She had been in the entertainment industry for quite some time and was fairly involved in the fashion circle; she knew all the famous designers, and that old man didn’t look like someone from the fashion world at all!
“I’m sure that old man must be a shill hired by Ye Shu!”
“That’s right, Ye Shu is clearly wearing a counterfeit, yet he praised her gown as if it were extraordinary, clearly trying to embarrass you.”
“Watch this!” Guan Zhizhi took the microphone from Ye Xinyu’s hand and approached Ye Shu, sneering, “Excuse me, sir, how much did Ye Shu pay you to be her shill? This counterfeit, although it superficially resembles Franse’s design style, the white tassels at the waist and the excessive glass rhinestones make it obvious to anyone with eyes that it’s very different from the gown Sister Xinyu is wearing. A lot of people here are fashion enthusiasts, many fans of Master Fran, they should be able to spot the difference between these two gowns, right?”
With that, the fashion experts who had shown up uninvited all nodded in agreement.
“I could be considered an obsessed fan of Franse. I have studied each of her creations meticulously, and what Miss Xinyu is wearing is definitely authentic! I’ve never seen the one Miss Ye Shu is wearing.”
“Me neither, me neither…”
Listening to everyone’s comments, Guan Zhizhi confidently said, “Ye Shu, Sister Xinyu kindly invited you to her wedding because you are her cousin. Yet you deliberately wore a counterfeit and even hired a shill to cause trouble and disrupt the wedding. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
“What counterfeit? The gown Miss Ye Shu is wearing is not only authentic but also a limited edition! It’s Master Fran’s magnum opus, a culmination of the best designs from three generations, which took 10 years to create!”
The old man became furious upon hearing that Ye Shu’s gown was called a counterfeit, his face turned red, and his voice grew several times louder.
Due to his agitation, he began to cough uncontrollably.
Ye Shu furrowed her brows and reached out to support the old man, gently patting his back, “Old sir, please don’t be agitated. Sit down and have some tea.”
As Ye Shu spoke, she helped the old man sit down and personally poured him a cup of tea.
Before leaving the house today, Sheng Shaochen had sent this gown over. She actually didn’t know the history behind the gown.
Now, hearing the old man say this, she was shocked and instantly understood Sheng Shaochen’s thoughtful intentions, feeling a surge of warmth in her heart.
“A magnum opus? Why haven’t I heard of it?” asked the editor of a fashion magazine in Jin City.
“I only know of Franse’s three generations of designs, where the third one was her greatest achievement. I’ve never heard of any final masterpiece!” said a well-known domestic designer, also puzzled.
