Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Comparability_1 Chapter 380: Chapter 380 Comparability_1 The middle-aged man’s words triggered hearty laughter from the crowd, interspersed with mockery.

“Stop joking around!”

“Exactly! Stop pretending to understand. Designer J is indeed famous and mysterious. They’re in the clothing industry, selling designs, fashion, and trends. Not exquisite drawing skills and art.”

“Art, do you really understand it?”

“These are separate levels. There’s no basis for comparison.”

Mr. Mi couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

He also heard about this designer, who recently gained roaring popularity in the province and all over the nation. It was said that they also caused quite a stir in the foreign fashion world.

But just like they said, there’s no possible connection between them.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry!” The middle-aged man wished he could crawl into a hole in embarrassment. He started with nothing and had worked diligently and persistently to get to where he was now.

Finally, he had the opportunity to attend a banquet, but he ended up making a fool of himself. He felt ashamed to stay any longer.

Stepping out of the crowd, he ran into the boss of Xin Yuan, much to his dismay.

“President Chen.”

Chen Cuihua didn’t take it to heart and greeted him with a smile. She remembered him as a distributor for their clothing factory. He was reliable in doing business and wasn’t a slippery individual.

A genuinely honest man.

“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.”

“Thank you, thank you, President Chen.” The middle-aged man was about to leave after saying this but got stopped by Gongxi Heng.

“Wait!”

“Yes? How may I help you?” He hadn’t met Gongxi Heng before, nor did he know that the boss of Xin Yuan’s husband was the richest man in the province.

Gongxi Heng adjusted his glasses and casually asked, “You said that the style of ‘Young Maiden’ is similar to Designer J’s?”

The middle-aged man had already been laughed at for his previous mistake. He didn’t dare to comment again and quickly shook his head, “No, no…I was mistaken! I don’t really understand these things.”

“Oh! Then you can leave now!”

“Goodbye!”

Chen Cuihua was not interested in the celebration banquet. Her factory was currently expanding, and they had just acquired a new piece of land for construction. She had to visit the construction site soon.

“I have some things to take care of. I’ll leave first!”

“Alright!”

The couple gave their regards to the hosts and left. As soon as they walked out of the art museum, they saw Gongxi Yunqi sitting on the stairs. Wearing an elegant black suit and a white shirt, he looked serene and lonely.

The usually unconcerned Chen Cuihua finally realized something was off with their son.

“Why do I feel like ever since our son came home for the holidays, he’s been speaking less? When he’s not reading, he’s at the boxing gym, and he doesn’t seem to enjoy talking to people. Does he have something on his mind?”

“Are you just noticing it now?”

“You knew all along?”

“Yep!”

“Then you should’ve told me.” Chen Cuihua finally remembered that she was a mother and needed to show concern for her son. “Let me see if I can do something to help.”

Gongxi Heng replied in a refined manner: “Let him handle his teenage troubles by himself. He has to grow up eventually.”

“Indeed, you’re right!”

The National Day holiday, in combination with the busy farming period, came and went in a blink of an eye. These brief ten days were anything but ordinary for the people of Xiao Wang Village. News of Liu Yongxia killing someone spread like wildfire.

The person was locked up in the police station, inaccessible to anyone who wanted to meet.

On the other hand, Jiang Minmin was released. However, the contrast between her demeanor before and after the incident was too noticeable. Her previous arrogant and contemptuous demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

She stepped timidly whenever she walked on the streets, and spent all day at home scolding her younger brother.
