Chapter 2232: Try on the Dress
Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Zhe was caught by surprise. Although Jessica was the one who organized the engagement party, he knew the rundown. It was originally scheduled for 11 a.m. but had suddenly been brought forward by three hours.
“But I don’t have anything to wear,” Qiao Mei said.
“Don’t worry! I have a designer at my house! He’ll show you all his new designs for this year and you can choose whichever one you like. It’s the first time he’s showing these dresses and no one has ever worn them before. If you like it, you can take it with you. I’ll pay for it,” Daniel said generously.
“Alright, let’s do as you say then.” After Qiao Mei finished speaking, Daniel brought her back to the villa to find her a guest room. Qiao Mei used her energy to accurately locate the guest room next to Xia Zhe and asked to stay there.
Although Daniel was a little unhappy, he still fulfilled Qiao Mei’s request. He asked her to wait in the room while he went to get someone to bring the gowns over.
Jessica was throwing a tantrum in her room. Her favorite gowns had been ruined by Qiao Mei and the dresses in front of her did not fit her well.
“Take these dresses elsewhere. As the rest, send them there as well,” Daniel said as he waved his hand.
“Younger Brother, what do you mean by this? I haven’t chosen the right dress yet!” Jessica said agitatedly.
“You’ve already been doing this for a few days. If you really can’t find anything you like, you can just wear an old gown. Everyone who comes tomorrow is a relative or friend. No one will care if the dress you’re wearing is out of season,” Daniel said.
Daniel told Jessica about the change in the timing and where he was going to bring the dresses. Jessica looked at Daniel in disbelief. No matter how much Daniel and Alan did not value her, they should not casually give her things to others and trample on her dignity like this.
“Daniel! That’s my engagement party!” Jessica roared.
“Jessica, aren’t you getting too invested? Don’t forget that this is all just a show,” Daniel said to her expressionlessly.
Jessica lowered her head and did not speak. Everyone had kept telling her that this was all a show, but she just wanted to make do with what she had. Perhaps she could be happy with Xia Zhe?
“Don’t forget that our goal is that inheritance. Once we get it, Fang Chen will be useless. Father will definitely eradicate him. Do you want to end up a widow?” Daniel questioned.
Jessica did not want that, but she also did not want to lose Xia Zhe. She did not seem to be able to do anything. She was just a puppet on Daniel and Alan’s strings and had no soul.
Qiao Mei had very good hearing and could hear the entire argument between Jessica and Daniel just now. She knew that Xia Zhe had a lot of money, but what was that inheritance that they were talking about?
Xia Jun had built the Xia family from scratch. Most of the Xia family’s current achievements came from Xia Jun. Given that Xia Jun was still alive, why would there be any inheritances?
The dresses were sent to Qiao Mei’s room very soon. Qiao Mei could tell at a glance that these dresses were from famous designers from all over the country. Moreover, these designers had one common characteristic. They only made clothes for the families with old money. They did not care about the newly rich like Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe at all and the two of them would not even be able to enter their stores.
“Miss Pu Nan, these are all the dresses that suit you. You can choose whatever you want,” the designer said as he stood by the clothes rack.
Qiao Mei immediately took a fancy to a light pink princess dress. The dress color was graduated and the color was more and more intense from the top to the bottom. However, this dress was also very hard to wear well and not everyone could look good in it. Jessica also liked this gown very much, but it did not look nice on her.
“Let me try this one,” Qiao Mei said as she pointed at the dress.
The designer was stunned for a moment and then handed the dress to Qiao Mei. Ever since he designed this dress, he had not met anyone who was fated to wear it. Anyone who wore this dress would look odd in it.
He had personally mixed the colors used on this dress. The various tones were pure and lively, meant to bring about the feeling of seeing a flower fairy in spring. This was the first time he had tried designing a dress with graduated colors.
Jessica also liked this dress because it was special enough, but she could not wear it well. She looked very funny in it, like a witch wearing Snow White’s dress.
Qiao Mei walked out of the fitting room slowly. The designer’s eyes widened as if he had finally found his muse! This dress was simply made for Qiao Mei! This was exactly how he imagined it would look!
Qiao Mei also liked this dress very much and she did not intend to borrow it just once. She wanted to buy it so that Jessica could not have it.
“Hi, how much is this dress? I like it very much and I want to buy it,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at the designer.
