Chapter 131: Chapter 131 What is this brat up to?
“Uh…”
“This…”
“Er…”
…
Several people were instantly suffocated by the low pressure emanating from Song Sinian’s whole being.
Help! This man was truly terrifying!
They suddenly found themselves admiring how Lu Zhaozhao managed to stand her ground in front of such a capricious man, and even tamed him to be so docile and obedient?
But the more pressing matter at hand was that they absolutely could not provoke Lu Zhaozhao under Song Sinian’s watchful eye, else they were as good as dead!
Had they not already been paid, they would have never come here to provoke Lu Zhaozhao’s ire.
“Mrs. Lu, I am from Zhao Group…”
“I am a designer…”
“I am…”
…
Song Sinian watched with satisfaction as they obediently stated their affiliations, then turned and walked towards Old Master Song.
It was only then that the group breathed a sigh of relief and continued to cozy up to Lu Zhaozhao.
“I’ve seen this haute couture piece at XNER before, it’s a limited edition, not something the average person can get their hands on!”
“I’ve seen this one too, and I can’t believe Mrs. Song would wear the same dress as the Song Family’s young miss. It seems your family relationship is really harmonious.”
“Yes, President Song also seems to be very fond of Mrs. Song!”
The people harmonized in their flattery while Lu Zhaozhao skillfully responded with a few simple words.
She was just waiting for them to play their trump card.
Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out from within the crowd, “Oh my God, Mrs. Song, your dress looks like a counterfeit!”
The few who were just chattering beside Lu Zhaozhao immediately began to stir the atmosphere.
“How could that be possible? Mrs. Song’s evening gown is so pretty!”
“How could such a beautiful dress be counterfeit?”
“Eh? It’s not necessarily so, maybe Mrs. Song has been deceived…”
…
Lu Zhaozhao slightly raised her brows and watched the person approaching her without speaking.
This person was Li Feite, the designer who had exposed her fake dress in front of numerous guests in her past life.
She was one of the designers at XNER, but not the designer of this particular evening gown.
Before coming to the banquet, she had Zhao Xi investigate Li Feite. Xiao Jinglan had promised to hire her as the designated designer for the Song Group and would spend a lot of money to build her personal brand. That’s why she was doing all this.
She truly had talent in design, but using others as a stepping stone for the sake of personal gain was utterly despicable!
Lu Zhaozhao looked at Li Feite with a cold eye and spoke indifferently, “Miss, can you stand by what you said?”
Li Feite snorted, “Of course, I am the chief designer at XNER. How could I not recognize the evening gown designed by our company?”
“To be able to tell from so far away, you must have excellent vision,” came Old Master Song’s imposing voice, though he appeared calm.
He slowly walked over to Lu Zhaozhao, looked up at Song Sinian next to him, and saw that he had no intention of speaking, his eyebrows clearly furrowed.
“What the hell is this kid doing?”
“His wife is being bullied, and he’s just staying silent?”
Mr. Song’s face grew stern, visibly displeased that someone was bullying his precious granddaughter-in-law right before his eyes!
Lu Zhaozhao turned to Mr. Song with a sweet smile and softly called out, “Grandpa.”
“Mm, Zhaozhao, don’t be afraid. With Grandpa here, no one can do anything to you,” Mr. Song said, beckoning Lu Zhaozhao with a wave of his hand to stand beside him.
Li Feite was immediately taken aback, apparently not expecting Lu Zhaozhao to hold such a high status within the Song Family.
Now that she had offended Lu Zhaozhao, could she still make it in the Song Group in the future?
As Li Feite was hesitating about whether to proceed with the next part of her plan, she happened to catch sight of Xiao Jinglan in the crowd.
She tilted her chin up a bit, signaling her to continue with the planned scheme.
Li Feite swallowed, taking a moment to think.
Now, with Mr. Song acting this way, perhaps it was just a show of wealthy people maintaining a facade, considering Xiao Jinglan had already promised her that as long as she made Lu Zhaozhao embarrass herself at the welcome party, her position as the designer-in-waiting at the Song Group was secure.
Thinking this, Li Feite suddenly regained her confidence.
Although Song Keren was supposed to be the main attraction of the welcome party, because of the commotion Mr. Song was making, almost everyone’s attention had shifted his way for the moment.
Mr. Song’s sharp eyes blinked slightly and turned to Li Feite, asking, “You just said the clothes Zhaozhao is wearing are fake. Can you stand by your words?”
Li Feite nodded very affirmatively, “Of course I can stand by them. This dress is from our company, and indeed two were purchased by Lady Xiao, but the one Mrs. Song is wearing is definitely not authentic.”
Because Xiao Jinglan had never sent the genuine article to Lu Zhaozhao, how could she be wearing the real thing?
Mr. Song swept his gaze over Li Feite, then turned to look at Song Sinian, his expression filled with a degree of incomprehension.
It was as if he was saying, your wife is being treated this way, and you have no idea how to help?
Song Sinian let out a silent sigh and stepped forward. “To make a big deal out of clothes in public is really quite tedious.”
His tone was indifferent, betraying no particular emotion.
However, to Liszt, it seemed as if Song Sinian and the others believed that Lu Zhaozhao was wearing a counterfeit, but it simply wasn’t appropriate to say so outright.
“President Song, for our brand, design is life. If someone plagiarizes our work, it is an insult to us as designers!” Liszt spoke fervently, as if ready to sacrifice himself for his design at any moment.
The several people who had been standing by Lu Zhaozhao now joined in the chatter.
“Exactly, for the ladies of the Shangjing Circle, clothes are a matter of face. If the dress is fake, how can one show their face?”
“The Song Family is one of the top households in the Shangjing Circle. If the dress is a fake, once that gets out…”
“Can’t even tell the difference between a real and fake dress and just wears it? Tsk tsk, I heard Mrs. Song is the fake rich daughter from the Lu Family. Seems like no matter how rich you are raised, you can’t change what’s in your bones…”
…
Lu Zhaozhao listened to these words obviously targeting her and the Song Family, realizing Xiao Jinglan had prepared quite thoroughly.
Even putting together a more formidable array than in her previous life.
But this time, she miscalculated.
The corners of Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth curled up slightly. “Designer Li, since design is so important to you, then you shouldn’t trivialize the works others have designed.”
Her tone was soft, and she spoke deliberately, not showing any signs of disarray from Li Feite’s attack.
Li Feite let out a soft sneer, “If knockoffs are also called design, then that’s really an insult to design!”
What do you think?
