Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations
Gu Zheng had many cars, and Song Shiyu usually drove them. However, only Gu Zheng could drive this car, and he always used it to fetch Qiao Xi.
Yao Menggqing gritted her teeth. What right did Qiao Xi have to occupy Gu Zheng’s love? It should belong to her, Yao Mengqing!
Her face was livid, while her eyes were filled with envy and viciousness. However, when she faced Qiao Xi, she still squeezed out a smile. “Xi Xi, you came at the right time. We were just talking about you.”
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression and said casually, “Oh, what are you praising me for? Let me hear it too.”
The air froze.
The corners of everyone’s mouths twitched slightly. They probably felt extremely shocked that a shameless person like Qiao Xi could participate in the competition.
Yao Mengqing was also surprised. She almost shouted, ‘You’re so shameless!” However, she still held it in and smiled. “Didn’t you say that you and Yun Chu know each other? Everyone is very envious of you. Xi Xi, you’re really lucky to be able to meet such an outstanding designer like Master Yun Chu.”
At this moment, Qiao Xi really wanted to strangle Yao Mengqing and make her shut up. The moment she opened her mouth, she was like a two-faced snake!
“Envious of me? Miss Yao, youre really funny! What does it have to do with you whether I know Yun Chu or not? Moreover, I know Yun Chu because I’m skilled enough, not because I’m lucky!”
The smile on Yao Mengging’s face froze. The veins on her forehead twitched as she suppressed the anger in her heart.
Why was Qiao Xi not pretending to be weak anymore? She was actually showing her attitude in front of everyone. Could it be that Qiao Xi really had the strength?
No, no way!
She had long investigated Qiao Xi. She did not know how to design jewelry at all.
Yao Mengqing’s expression eased up a little. Qiao Xi was pretending to be Yun Chu’s friend and even said that she was very skilled. When the time came and her ugly designs were revealed, she would definitely lose miserably. If the media spread the news, Qiao Xi would not be able to raise her head in Li City
anymore.
Yao Menggqing revealed a dangerous gaze. Since it was like that, she would lend Qiao Xi a hand.
She smiled slightly. “Xi Xi, you’re right. It’s because you’re very capable that you could get to know such an outstanding designer like Yun Chu… You’ll definitely stand out in this competition.”
Originally, Yao Mengqing was the person with the highest chance of winning the championship. Everyone had seen her designs and her work was indeed very meticulous. Most importantly, she had even invited Jason as her partner this time. With the two of them working together, Yao Mengqing would be
the champion this time.
However, now that a contestant who was Yun Chu’s friend had suddenly appeared, everyone could not help but suspect if she was stronger than Yao Mengqing.
Yao Menggqing said warmly, “Xi Xi, congratulations.”
“Miss Yao is right. I’ll definitely be able to win the championship!” Qiao Xi smiled proudly. “Miss Yao, it’s really rare for you to be self-aware.”
Yao Mengging: “!”
Qiao Xi was too shameless!
She had only exchanged a few pleasantries, yet Qiao Xi took the words she said seriously? Did she really think that her work could win over the masses?
However, this was also good. The higher one climbed, the worse the fall.
Yao Mengqing suppressed her anger. “Yes, I believe you’ll definitely be able to design a perfect piece. The championship will definitely belong to you!”
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. How could she not be able to tell that Yao Mengqing was deliberately flattering her so that she could watch her take a terrible fall later? However, this did not pose the slightest threat to Qiao Xi because she was so outstanding. It was not an exaggeration to say at all!
Qiao Xi raised her head high and proudly walked past Yao Mengaing to go into the hall, but Yao Mengqing suddenly asked, “Xi Xi, isn’t your partner here? It’s a two-person collaboration this time!”
In this competition, apart from the individual’s design skills, it also depended on the designer’s connections and character. If they could invite a skilled designer, they could reverse the outcome of the competition.
Moreover, the competition this time was very large-scale. Most of the designers who had time would not refuse upon being invited. After all, being able to appear in public could increase one’s ability and reputation.
Yao Mengqing looked proud. “I invited Yun Chu’s disciple, Mr. Jason, for this competition. I wonder which designer you’ve invited?”
Qiao Xi: “2”
What?
Yun Chu’s disciple, Jason?
Why didn’t she know that she had a disciple named Jason? Who was this so-called disciple of hers?
Before she could think, Yao Mengging asked with an annoying expression, “Xi Xi, you haven’t said who your partner is.. Tell me!”
