Complemented with the sparkling gowns under the spotlight, the view was simply too beautiful to take one’s eyes off.
Undoubtedly, Selina was very beautiful too. She was almost the most perfect reflection of Western beauty.
However, compared to Selina, who embodied Western beauty, a beauty like Zhong Nuannuan was more popular among the Eastern crowd.
At this moment, it felt like Zhong Nuannuan had just walked out of a painting. Her beauty was so mesmerizing.
She was so beautiful that her beauty was intoxicating!
A beauty like her should only exist in heaven!
“Oh, my God! When she took off the trench coat earlier, I thought her outfit looked familiar. Looking at it under the spotlight, it really is the one!”
Suddenly, one of the ladies cried out in surprise. The people under the stage started asking her what was going on—what was so special about that gown?
“As a fellow fashion designer, I recognize that gown. That gown was the most popular from last year’s BL fashion show. It was personally designed by Mr. Maire, and it took him half a year to sew it. The gown is embroidered on three sides. That is what made the plain silver dress look like it was made of rippling water. Not only that, there is an expensive diamond on each side of the refractions. It is the reason a gown can shine so brightly.”
A socialite from Z District sitting in front of her exclaimed in surprise, “I remember it now too. At the time, this gown shocked the entire BL fashion industry. Someone even tried to buy it for 70 million. Mr. Maire refused to sell it, saying that he helped a noble lady from the royal family of Luntan to design this gown. After the exhibition, the lady would take the gown away.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” The fashion designer agreed.
Huang Yuhan’s seat was not far from the rest. She heard what everyone was saying and snorted. “Then, you must have been mistaken. She’s just a country bumpkin from the farming district. How could she have such an exquisite gown?”
“No, they’re probably right,” said Zhong Qianqian, at long last, after staying quiet for a while.
“That’s because Selina, who is with Zhong Nuannuan, is actually the adopted daughter of Duke Eton and is considered a member of the royal family of Luntan. Therefore, I’m guessing that Zhong Nuannuan must have run out of gowns to wear, so she borrowed Selina’s clothes!”
“That’s right! I would’ve forgotten if you hadn’t reminded me. That b*tch, Selina, was adopted by Duke Eton from an orphanage. The poor country bumpkin Zhong Nuannuan must have borrowed Selina’s gown because she’s too poor to buy one.”
Zhong Qianqian felt that Huang Yuhan was too much to her liking. She said, “Selina was indeed an orphan before, but now, Duke Eton has taken a liking to her. I heard that he even wants to pass his inheritance to her!”
“Tsk, it’s all hearsay. If she truly has the Duke’s favor, why would Duke Eton allow her to continue her life in Camino alone? The status of a duke’s daughter is second only to the princess, after all. Moreover, she’s still studying in a trashy city like Jiang District? She must have spread the tall tales herself, don’t you think?”
“That makes sense now that you’ve put it this way.”
Initially, the two of them wanted to cause a ruckus so that everyone would despise Zhong Nuannuan. However, they were so good at it that they irritated everyone so excessively with their harsh words. Therefore, when everyone heard them slandering the beautiful military wife and the girl from the royal family of Luntan, everyone lapsed into silence.
Even though everyone knew that they were from second and third-tier families, they did not want to be associated with such mean people.
