Chapter 211: Another Scheming B*tch

Any ordinary person would not be able to tell what was wrong with the clothes by just looking at them, but she was Gu Shan. She could tell what was wrong with the clothes at a glance.
Yao Mengqing looked very friendly, but she was actually filled with hostility.
The fabric of haute couture gowns needed to be very exquisite. Not only did they have to be beautiful but they also had to be comfortable. However, the fabric of these clothes was flashy without substance. It would definitely be uncomfortable wearing them.
One of the gowns was heavy and had a thin layer of inferior fabric around the waist. If she were not careful, it would tear from her waist. The other gown was the exact opposite. There were many layers of fabric stitched around the waist, but the skirt was as light as tulle. It would make her look extremely uncoordinated and 20 pounds fatter.
They were both designers. Of course, Qiao Xi had heard of Yao Mengqing. She had won many awards, so her design skills should not be like this.
Hence, it meant that Yao Mengqing wanted her to be embarrassed at whatever banquets she would attend with Gu Zheng.
Seeing Qiao Xi remain silent, Yao Mengqing’s face was filled with disappointment.
A smile appeared on the corners of her mouth. “Xi Xi, you don’t like these clothes?”
Perhaps others thought that it was already very rare for Yao Mengqing to design 16 pieces of clothing in such a short time.
She even personally brought the finished products to Longwan Residential. It could be said that she was full of sincerity.
If Qiao Xi did not show her any due respect, then she would be asking for it.
Yao Mengqing smiled awkwardly. “It’s okay if you don’t like them. I can change them or do them again. You can tell me if you have any ideas.”
She sneered in her heart. How could a country bumpkin know anything about design?
Qiao Xi did not say anything.
Yao Mengqing sighed. “Looks like Xi Xi doesn’t like the clothes I designed. I’ll design a few more…”
At this moment, her assistant spoke up to seek justice. “Sister Mengqing, you’ve been working late every night to design these 16 gowns. If you have to design more, your body won’t be able to take it. Even if you’re Mrs. Gu, you can’t torture others like this, right?”
“Lil An, don’t spout nonsense. It’s so hard being a designer, but the customers are the gods.”
Yao Mengqing turned and smiled. “Xi Xi, Lil An is a straightforward person. Don’t take it to heart. You can voice out your thoughts. I’ll make new clothes as soon as possible according to your requirements.”
Qiao Xi’s expression was subtle as the corners of her mouth twitched.
Yao Mengqing took out a notebook from her bag and said with a smile, “Xi Xi, Ah Zheng asked me to stop all my work and focus on your clothes. I’m really envious of you. The life of a rich madam is really luxurious!”
Then, she talked to her assistant in English. She spoke fluently and looked like a capable woman.
Yao Mengqing looked helpless. “I’m different. I’m busy designing every day. I have to take care of all the matters in the studio. Business is really difficult to do. My dream is to be like you and find a man to support me, preferably a man as rich as Ah Zheng.
“Xi Xi, after marrying Ah Zheng, you don’t have to work anymore, right? You’ll be doing beauty treatments and drinking tea every day. You should be very free, right? Why don’t you give me your contact details? You can tell me if you have any ideas.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
Others might not understand the “friendly” words Yao Mengqing said, but it was obvious to Qiao Xi what she was doing.
Yao Mengqing even said sarcastically that she had nothing to do after marrying Gu Zheng.
She was not the kind of woman who relied on men to live!
Song Shiyu sensed the tension between the two of them. It seemed that Yao Mengqing was mocking the young madam?
Song Shijing said, “Miss Yao, Young Madam is very busy and may not have time to contact you. If you have any questions, you can call me. I’ll pass along your message.”
Yao Mengqing’s assistant pursed her lips. “What’s there for her to be busy with…? She just plays cards, drinks tea, and shops. Unlike our Sister Mengqing who’s busy designing clothes every day-“
Yao Mengqing quickly interrupted, “Lil An, don’t say anymore. Xi Xi, if you-“
“Our young madam is going to be a judge for the International Real-time Translation Competition.. She also needs to come up with the topic of the competition and design clothes for the leaders of various countries…”
