Yu Shu looked at Gu Mang in shock with her fists clenched tightly.
Gu Mang’s position in Lan Ting is higher than Ji Heng’s? He’s willing to be her subordinate even though he’s the young master of the Ji family?
The socialites who came over to mock Gu Mang now looked aghast. Lan Ting’s clothes were always in high demand, so a haute couture piece designed by the chief designer, God G, herself was even harder to come by.
Just a few minutes ago, one of them had bragged to her friends about how she had managed to get her hands on the gown she was wearing by using connections, yet the next second, she accused its designer of not knowing social etiquette.
No one knew better than these socialites how high Lan Ting’s status was in the fashion world, so how could Gu Mang possibly not afford an evening gown when she was the designer herself?
The dresses they were wearing were produced by Gu Mang, yet like clowns, they accused her of not being able to purchase a gown. All of a sudden, their gowns felt like needles pricking at their skin.
Yu Mufeng chuckled silently to himself, but it was enough to make the socialites turn ashen.
Then, someone said softly, “Hey, Gu Mang’s clothes seemed to be custom-made from the top luxury brand. Her entire outfit costs at least seven figures.”
“What?!” exclaimed the person standing next to her. “Those are just simple, everyday clothes. How can they cost so much?!”
A shirt and a pair of baggy pants cost at least seven figures?
“That brand only customizes clothing for certain clients and those clients are mostly from royal families. Their clothes are one of a kind.”
“What the…”
“Yue Qing and the rest have really embarrassed themselves this time. Their evening gowns don’t even cost as much as her simple outfit. They were practically asking for humiliation.”
“In that case, it’s obvious that Young Master Lu bought those clothes for Gu Mang. How did they think that he didn’t value her at all…”
“What a joke to say that she couldn’t afford an evening gown when she’s the owner of Lan Ting and the top designer in the fashion world.”
The socialites’ faces fell even more.
Yue Qing shot that person a furious glare as she shot back, “She might be Lan Ting’s chief designer, but everyone here knows that Yu Shu is Young Master Lu’s fiancée. What does her appearance at this banquet say, then?”
Fiancée?
Lu Chengzhou knitted his brows and looked over, which made Yu Shu falter when she met his pitch-black eyes. Somehow, an ominous feeling sprouted in her heart. As she tugged at her bestie’s arm, she whispered grievously, “Stop pressing the issue.”
“Why not?” The friend brushed Yu Shu’s hand away and glowered at the man. “Young Master Lu, even if you had a falling out with Yu Shu, you should at least spare a thought for your fiancée and her reputation.”
“Yeah. How could you show up with a random woman to humiliate your fiancée? What would others say about her?”
Qin Fang, who had just arrived with Huo Zhi at the hall, was confused to see this situation.
Even He Yidu remained silent.
The Qin family had already heard about the relationship between Lu Chengzhou and Gu Mang from Qin Fang, so they were not that surprised to see him turn up with her. However, they dared not make any comments as it was well known in the capital that Yu Shu was favored to marry Lu Chengzhou.
While everyone was watching them intently, Gu Mang curled her lips into an ambiguous smirk. Her beautiful eyes twinkled with hints of wickedness as she slowly repeated ever so lightly and dangerously, “Fiancée?”
As Lu Chengzhou took a gander at her aloof side profile. His eyes twitched and his Adam’s apple bobbed. “No.”
“Hm?” She slowly turned her head and looked up at him. With a cocked eyebrow, she asked carelessly, “No what?”
