Chapter 123: Three Dresses
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The next day, when Mo Yu woke up, the first thing she saw was the baby’s breath on the table.
Perhaps because Gu Lian was in a hurry when he left, the bouquet was not placed properly. Instead, half of it was pressed on the table and was a little listless. However, Mo Yu did not care. This was the first bouquet of flowers she had received in this world.
Mo Yu thought for a moment and felt that the person most likely to send her flowers was Su Mei.
Gu Lian only knew how to deal with the company’s matters with a straight face every day. He did not seem like someone who would send flowers. Gu Zi was still a child, not to mention that she was his sister-in-law in name. Gu Zi would not give her flowers.
On the other hand, Old Master Gu’s legs were inconvenient and he was old. It was impossible for him to do such a thing. It was even more impossible for Father Gu. He had a wife and was an upright person. He would not barge into his daughter-in-law’s bedroom in the middle of the night.
Thinking about it this way, only Su Mei was the most reasonable.
Su Mei was meticulous. She probably thought that she was provoked by Yun Shu’s arrival and comforted her in this way. Mo Yu praised her own deduction and then happily washed up and went downstairs for breakfast.
Su Mei worked overtime last night to rush out Mo Yu’s three gowns and added many details.
In order to appease Mo Yu’s emotions, she prepared to let Mo Yu try on clothes in advance. She could also better modify them according to Mo Yu’s figure.
After Mo Yu finished breakfast, she was called to a special fitting room by Su Mei and began to match her jewelry one by one.
The Jewelry Exhibition was held over a total of five days. The first three days were for the “gold”, “jade”, and “gem” runways to show the design of the jewelry itself. The next two days were for tours, purchases, and stone gambling.
Su Mei had prepared three different gowns for Mo Yu for the three different types of runways.
The design concept of ‘Gold’ was to highlight the noble and gorgeous nature of gold. The gown that Su Mei had prepared was a white mermaid dress. The halter neck design of the upper body highlighted Mo Yu’s beautiful neck. The mermaid skirt wrapped around Mo Yu’s graceful body. She was like a beautiful white porcelain vase.
With the addition of the gold jewelry, the originally simple and elegant vase suddenly became magnificent. Mo Yu did not even need to walk. She was a beautiful scenery just standing there.
As for the design of the ‘jade’, it was more traditionally Chinese. The elegant large-sleeved qipao added a hint of scholarly aura to Mo Yu. Her long hair was tied behind her head with a white jade hairpin. The wind chimes on the hairpin swayed gently with Mo Yu’s movements, as if they were being beaten by raindrops.
The ornament on her neck was made using the enamel cloisonne technique. It was a pair of phoenix-like flowers dancing in the air. The peony flower in the middle was carved from top-notch Hetian jade. The color was as if it had been soaked in water. Just looking at it was pleasing to the eye.
The jade bracelet and thumb ring made Mo Yu look even more virtuous. She was a beautiful girl walking in the water village of Jiangnan holding an oil-paper umbrella.
The “gem” gown was the highlight of the three gowns. Unlike the simple and elegant first two gowns, the gem gown was even taken out from a safe. The three password locks were enough to show the value of this dress.
Mo Yu raised her head in anticipation. She could not wait to see what a gown worth locking up with three passwords looked like. However, to her surprise, what was taken out was not a finished gown, but a complete piece of fabric.
The main color of the fabric was golden, and there were beautiful geometric patterns woven with silver threads on it. If one looked carefully, it seemed to be an ancient Egyptian pattern. There were various gems embedded on it, and it was very gorgeous and beautiful.
Mo Yu had a puzzled expression, and Su Mei put on her gloves. She carefully picked up the fabric and introduced it to Mo Yu.
“I purchased this piece of fabric from an auction a long time ago. The original owner was an Egyptian tycoon. This piece of cloth made using repeatedly tempered with gold and silver that was finally woven into pure gold and silver threads. The largest ruby on it is known as the ‘Heart of the World’. It’s worth 60 million yuan, and the rest of the gems add up to nearly 30 million yuan. The entire fabric is worth 100 million yuan. Moreover, because of its weaving technology, we can’t cut it, so we need to use tools to fix it on you..”
