Chapter 97: 097 Do you really need to show off your intelligence?
“I think you’re just trying to extort us on purpose.”
Upon hearing this, a look of contempt instantly painted the faces of the other women.
“Some people really have no shame, only after money. They come here to scam us.”
“I bet she had it all planned from the start, just waiting to trap Xinyan!”
“Exactly, how could an ordinary haute couture be worth more than two million? Some people are just making up prices out of thin air.”
The situation swung back in her favor, and Su Xinyan was secretly pleased, but she still pretended to be kind, saying softly,
“Don’t talk about my sister like that, she isn’t that kind of person.”
Lin Siya’s face showed sarcasm, “Xinyan, don’t you understand? These two women are taking advantage of you because you’re easy to talk to.”
Su Xinyan felt somewhat helpless, still unwilling to believe that Su Ran would do such a thing, she looked at Gu Heng with a fragile and bitter expression.
Gu Heng’s eyes flickered slightly, becoming a bit more complicated.
Ye Zhichen let out a light laugh, her pleasant laughter laced with piercing sarcasm.
She raised an eyebrow and looked playfully at the group.
“Is it necessary to expose your own intelligence ?”
Her gaze fell on the beautiful face of Su Xinyan, with a tone of mockery.
“Someone who’s never been in the top three dares to look down on the work of those who have?”
“Number five despising number three? Are you out of your minds?”
At those words, Su Xinyan’s expression changed drastically, she looked up at the gown on Su Ran’s body, and when her eyes caught the unique logo on the dress, her face turned a shade paler.
This is an Iydia design?
In an instant, her eyes, reddening slightly, filled with strong resentment and jealousy.
“What do you mean by that?”
Lin Siya frowned slightly, asking with displeasure.
Ye Zhichen chuckled disdainfully, too lazy to explain so much to an idiot, wasting her saliva.
At this point, the patiently waiting shop assistant couldn’t hold back anymore. Iydia was their store’s pride and could not be maligned by these ignorant women.
Stepping forward, the shop assistant faced Lin Siya, speaking firmly but respectfully,
“Miss, that obscure designer you just mentioned has stood on the international awards podium several times, and last year, she even won third place in the World Designer Competition.”
As the assistant spoke, his gaze inadvertently fell on Su Xinyan who was beside him; her face stiffened, and she bit her lip silently, then heard the assistant continue,
“And this gown you claimed to be worthless is the latest couture from Iydia, the third place winner of the World Designer Competition, of which there are only two pieces in the entire country.”
The assistant’s words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving everyone dazed and disoriented.
Lin Siya’s face turned deathly pale, she staggered slightly, nearly losing her balance.
Third place in the World Designer Competition?
She had called Iydia an obscure designer, said her designs were worthless…
Knowing that countless people globally waited for Iydia to design their dresses, in the fashion world, her reputation was arguably even greater than that of Xinyan’s.
She had offended Iydia.
It wasn’t supposed to be .
She only wanted the shampoo commercial endorsement from Su Xinyan, how could it have come to this?
“Xinyan, please help me, I didn’t mean to disparage Iydia, you know that, I had no idea this dress was designed by her…”
Lin Siya clutched Su Xinyan’s hand tightly, her expression frantic and agitated. She was just a minor actress starting to make a name in the entertainment industry; how could she compete with Iydia, who had stood on the international awards podium several times? Now, her only recourse was to rely on Su Xinyan.
