Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Ashamed, Ashamed_1 Chapter 378: Chapter 378 Ashamed, Ashamed_1 Reporters continually approached for interviews, and young admirers, shyly wanting to greet her. Even a word with her made their day.
Mi Yuezhen was dressed in Xinyuan Garment’s newly launched autumn dress. Its one-shoulder design displayed her gracefully sculpted neckline.
She looked as beautiful as a little princess.
Chen Cuihua, hand in hand with Gongxi Heng, stood on the outskirts, nodding in agreement as she watched the center of attention, Mi Yuezhen. “This girl seems more beautiful than before, and even her demeanor has improved.”
“Of course!” Gongxi Heng, a man with sharp eyes and a knack for identifying key issues, responded, “Even a country girl placed on a pedestal will gradually learn the demeanor of a saint.”
“Aren’t your words a bit harsh? After all, she’s the one our Yun Qi admires, be a bit more considerate.”
The Gongxi Family and the Mi Family have been friends for generations. She rather liked Mi Yuezhen, especially her ardor for her son. She’d be quite happy if Yuezhen became her daughter-in-law.
“That’s not necessarily the case.” On the contrary, Gongxi Heng wasn’t entirely accepting of Mi Yuezhen. He could certainly favor her as a younger relative, but as a match for his son, he felt they were miles apart.
Not interested in the bustling commotion ahead, the pair stepped back, chattering away. Chen Cuihua disdainfully remarked, “What’s there to look at? I think the paintings by Nan Fei are even better.”
Everyone else was moving forward; only this couple wasn’t interested in the award-winning work.
Gongxi Heng chuckled, “This work won an international gold award while Old Mi’s painting made Yu Jingyi so angry he nearly had a heart attack. Could the two really compete?”
Chen Cuihua gave Gongxi Heng a stern glance. She was clearly unhappy with his remarks about her younger sister, “Is that how you talk about your daughter-in-law? Is it decent to be so disrespectful? Can’t you say something nice at all?”
Gongxi Heng inwardly shed a tear for his son. His son wanted to bring her home as his wife, but his mother treated her as a sister. It seemed that his son was bound for disappointment.
But he thought, without experiencing heartache, a man cannot truly grow. In this, he was in favor.
Whether it worked out or not, it would still be a period of growth for his son.
“Alright, alright, did I not admits my faults?” Gongxi Heng immediately conceded, showing a good attitude, “Everything about your Nan Fei is good, are you satisfied?”
“It seems like you are rather reluctant?”
“How dare I!” Gongxi Heng placated his wife while exchanging greetings with passers-by.
Those present today were scholars, artists, professors, or famous politicians and businessmen from the province. He knew everyone there.
“Look, He Rongxi is also here.” Chen Cuihua pointed to a corner, “He dares to show his face? If I were him, I’d hide at home and never show my face.”
“That’s why you can’t succeed, while they can!” Gongxi Heng actually admired He Rongxi. As a businessman, reputation was vital.
But if you cared too much about reputation, how could you make money!
Only after he finished speaking did he realize his wife was giving him a strange look, “What’s wrong, Huahua?”
“So, you’re implying that you’re thicker-skinned than He Rongxi? I’m starting to doubt whether the hat on my head is green.”
“I’m ashamed, ashamed! What I meant to say is that my business isn’t doing as well as He Rongxi’s. Our success today is all thanks to you, Huahua. You bring me good fortune. And I’m now even a little envious of your garment business.”
These words relieved Chen Cuihua. She gave him an approving look.
