Chapter 178: Chapter 178: The Situation Temporarily Spiraled Out of Control
“Yes, yes…” Zhong Han patted Ye Shu’s hand with a relieved smile.
The purity in this girl’s eyes was something he rarely saw after so many years mingling in these circles.
Master Franse definitely hadn’t entrusted his crowning masterpiece to the wrong person.
“Who are you calling a fool? Ye Shu, you better explain yourself clearly!” Guan Zhizhi, feeling insulted by Ye Shu’s gentle words, was immediately unhappy and reached out to grab Ye Shu.
Ye Shu helped Zhong Han sit properly, then stood up, glanced sideways, and fiercely shot Guan Zhizhi a cold, piercing look.
Guan Zhizhi was actually startled into frozen stillness, “You… why so fierce! You’re just a slut kept by some old man. Today, I’m going to have a good talk with you!” With that, she reached out and grabbed the hem of Ye Shu’s dress.
With a detached look in her eyes, Ye Shu glanced at Guan Zhizhi’s hand, “If I remember correctly, the estimated value of this gown is 800 million. Guan Zhizhi, you better be careful. If you damage the gown, even if you sell your father’s entire enterprise, it probably won’t cover the cost.”
“…” Guan Zhizhi froze, turning pale with fright and hurriedly let go but couldn’t stop herself from scolding Ye Shu, “It’s just rented, what’s there to be proud of? If you’re so capable, why not have your sugar daddy pay 800 million to buy it?”
“Yes, cousin, a rented item is never truly your own. Be careful not to damage it, otherwise what will you and my brother-in-law do to compensate the owner?” Ye Xinyu took the opportunity to add a soft venomous jab.
That what’s-his-name Zhong Han said that Franse’s gowns couldn’t possibly be rented, even bringing up something about a noble soul to make his case.
Who believes that! In this circle, many top brands make money by renting out their clothing — often, renting out brings in more than direct sales!
Who in this world would ever think they have too much money?
“Exactly, that rental fee alone must cost half of what Ye Shu and Jin Baiwan are worth, right?”
“If it really gets damaged, I doubt even if Ye Shu finds ten Jin Baiwans, she could afford the compensation.”
Upon hearing this, others also couldn’t help but snicker quietly.
Gu Zuocheng could bear it no longer and descended from the high platform, grabbing Ye Xinyu by the arm and said in a low voice, “Stop causing trouble!”
However, Ye Xinyu took the opportunity to snuggle into Gu Zuocheng’s arms, leaning her head on his shoulder and looking at Ye Shu, “Cousin, if you and your husband are facing any difficulties, you can tell Zuocheng and me anytime. We will definitely help you as soon as possible, right, Zuocheng?”
A wave of snickers swept through the crowd again.
Gu Zuocheng felt his face heating up with nowhere to hide, awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth, looked towards Ye Shu, about to speak…
Suddenly, a commotion from the doorway caught everyone’s attention.
Immediately, everyone instinctively moved to the sides, as if welcoming some important figure.
Just then, Mrs. Sheng Yueru, dressed in a magnificent gown, walked in from the entrance, embodying a goddess with seemingly age-defying grace, and greeted everyone with a slight, elegant smile, exuding a regal and generous beauty from within.
Following about a meter behind her, Sheng Shaochen, in a chaste black suit, was escorted by a row of orderly bodyguards, approaching almost regally from the backlit entrance.
His appearance prompted waves of screams.
“Oh my God, it’s Sheng Shaochen!”
“So handsome—how can someone be so perfect in this world!”
Some young debutantes, who were of marriageable age, even momentarily forgot about Sheng Shaochen’s fear of women and impulsively wanted to rush towards him.
The bodyguards had no choice but to quickly intervene, keeping them a meter away from Sheng Shaochen.
The scene momentarily verged on chaos.
