Chapter 452: Chapter 452: I Believe in Huo Xingzhou, He Protects and Loves Me

Xiang Mingzhu angrily said, "What else do you want from me?"

Qiao Xi calmly looked at her with her glistening apricot eyes, "It’s not what I want; it’s what you want. From yesterday’s scam to today’s gown, you’re only shooting yourself in the foot."

Xiang Mingzhu clenched her teeth so hard they were hurting.

"Qiao Xi!"

She shouted the name with anger and resentment.

Qiao Xi’s pretty face was indifferent, "Don’t worry, I won’t make you change your last name. Even bearing my surname would tarnish it. Today, you have indeed shot yourself in the foot."

She finished speaking and entered Master Irina’s private studio, where the enthusiastic salesperson helped her put on the ethereal Cinderella gown.

Xiang Mingzhu’s eyes nearly turned red with jealousy!

Why on earth does Qiao Xi have it all!

Even globally renowned designers stand up for her!

Young Master Sun smirked, his voice dripping with mockery, "Do you have jealousy? Do you need to go to the hospital to check?"

"Shut up!"

Xiang Mingzhu’s mental defense crumbled, and she quickly left.

She wished she could escape immediately, faintly hearing the gossip of those women.

Her first confrontation in the Imperial Capital, and she had utterly lost face in front of Qiao Xi!

Sun Weimeng watched her retreating figure, laughing loudly.

All his frustrations had dispersed!

Huo Xingzhou, well done!

He had received a text from Huo Xingzhou last night, saying that the Guan Family’s birthday banquet might invite Qiao Xi. But given the pettiness of the Xiang Family and Lu Family, they were sure to plot something at the banquet.

Qiao Xi was a thorn in many people’s sides, and some were waiting to see just what this apprentice of the National Doctor Cheng Han was like.

Since she couldn’t remain low-profile, she might as well go all out!

She would choose the finest gown, make the grandest entrance, and let her imposing aura shine!

Master Irina had been planning to open a private studio in China.

Huo Xingzhou was merely facilitating the process, also showing the people of the Imperial Capital how much the Huo Family valued Qiao Xi.

He had instructed Sun Weimeng to bring Qiao Xi to choose a gown, but they hadn’t anticipated that Lu Yan and Xiang Mingzhu would scheme at the Ruisa Mall.

Sun Weimeng adapted to the situation.

Today they had no intentions of slapping Xiang Mingzhu’s face; it was her who had insisted on having it slapped!

This was what they called a fitting retribution for a scoundrel!

Sun Weimeng’s eyes briefly caught the sight of the salesperson Bai Yue, who was pale and trembling like a sieve, and he laughed even louder.

"Girl, you’re a winner if you pick the right side. Pick the wrong side, and you’re cannon fodder! Where did you find the courage to mock my Sister Qiao? Do the Four Great Families of the Imperial Capital have their base? Or does your courage come from Xiang Mingzhu?"

Bai Yue’s eyes reddened, tears welled up, "I’m sorry, please let me go. I was just following orders from above."

"I apologize to you, I kneel before you."

Bai Yue, wearing a tight professional dress, kneeled hastily, revealing an enticing cleavage.

She bowed her head, hiding the dark look in her eyes.

The man before her had shown a look of amazement when he first saw the salespeople, his behavior frivolous, resembling a profligate young master in pleasure quarters.

Bai Yue, having dealt with many wealthy heirs, knew how to use her assets to turn the tide.

Sun Weimeng reached out and gently lifted her chin.

A beauty in tears was indeed beautiful.

Only...

"Trying to seduce me? I, the Young Master, have roamed through many a flower and seen every kind of beautiful woman. Even if you look like a celestial being, if you offend my sister Qiao Xi, I will still make sure you cannot survive here."

Bai Yue was astounded, her cheeks flushing red.

Sun Weimeng disdainfully released his hand, "If you want to kneel, just keep kneeling."

He walked into the private studio with his hands behind his back and saw a male model introducing Qiao Xi to the "Cinderella" gown designed by Master Irina. The gown was truly beautiful, ethereal as if floating.

Sun Weimeng praised, "No wonder so many women fight over this gown. Who could have guessed it was tailor-made for you?"

Qiao Xi, with her clear, almond-shaped eyes, glanced at him.

"You really didn’t know?"

Sun Weimeng extended his finger in oath, "I truly didn’t know."

"I don’t believe it. Today’s plan must have been orchestrated by you and Huo Xingzhou. Opening this private studio was too timely, including my custom gown."

Sun Weimeng, sitting on the genuine leather sofa in the resting area, said, "He only asked me to accompany you in selecting a gown. Coming across Xiang Mingzhu today was accidental, just a perfect opportunity to slap her face. Who could have anticipated Xiang Mingzhu would challenge you? But I think Huo Xingzhou was just being cautious."

He might not have speculated.

It’s just that the timing, location, and coordination were too perfect.

He looked up at Qiao Xi, "You didn’t seem surprised upon hearing the gown was for you. Why?"

Qiao Xi’s lips curled up, her eyes sparkling brilliantly, "Since you started the bet with Xiang Mingzhu, I sensed something was off. Young Master Sun is always cunning; how could he act recklessly?"

"And I..."

Her swan-like neck was fair and smooth, slightly lifting her chin to reveal a perfect contour, "I trust Huo Xingzhou. He said he would protect me, and he will never let me fall into an awkward situation."

It was just a gown, after all. He had thousands of ways to handle it.

Sun Weimeng felt sour inside, suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food, "Am I just a part of your marital fun?"

Qiao Xi’s eyes curved.

She turned to Old Chen beside her and said, "Old Chen, check who ordered the stunt yesterday and the model guide today. This doesn’t seem like something Xiang Mingzhu could come up with."

"Right away, Young Madam."

Qiao Xi’s fingers caressed the gown, Lu Bannong and Lu Yingxue shouldn’t be interested in playing these low-level games either, it must be someone related to the Lu Family; first, find that rat hiding in the sewer.

To avoid being constantly disgusted.

She needed to find the person, diagnose the problem, and retaliate appropriately.

Outside Ruisa Mall.

Xiang Mingzhu was so furious that she stormed down the stairs in that black gown, forgoing even changing. The shop assistants inside cautiously phoned to ask if she had forgotten to pay.

Xiang Mingzhu exploded, "Do I look like I’m short of that little money?"

In her raging fury, she transferred the money. Her beautiful face was twisted with malice, looking especially offensive.

She definitely didn’t check the calendar before leaving the house today.

She was initially in high spirits trying on Master Irina’s designed gown, but then she received a call from Lu Yan in the fitting room.

He mentioned that the scoundrel Qiao Xi showed up in Ruisa Mall to buy a gown for the Guan Family’s grand gathering.

He had already made it clear, the entire top floor wouldn’t sell a gown to Qiao Xi, urging her to add fuel to the fire and properly humiliate her. Soon Qiao Xi would become the laughingstock of the entire upper echelons of the Imperial Capital.

However, it turned out she was the one humiliated in the end!

Her heart filled with resentment, almost murderous.

As she fumed, a luxury car pulled up not far from her, the window slowly rolling down.

"Mingzhu."

The voice was soft like a clear brook, smooth and enchanting enough to captivate.

Xiang Mingzhu turned her head, her eyes brightening. She quickly squeezed out her gentlest smile, though the malice on her face remained, making her look somewhat contorted and laughable.
