Chapter 201: Chapter 201: Another Outbreak, She’s Lu Xingzhou’s Wife?

"Yi Sha, your design is really impressive! Today, Lu Zhan is simply shining bright, his look will absolutely go viral!"

Ming Ran looked up at the live broadcast and was immediately dazzled by Lu Zhan at first sight.

Since she was familiar with Lu Zhan, she knew what he usually looked like and how different he looked on the red carpet today.

One could say that Yi Sha’s design elevated his entire aura to a higher level.

As for the female star next to him, she wasn’t familiar with her and thought she must be naturally beautiful to stand beside Lu Zhan, probably with a strong fan base as well.

Upon hearing Ming Ran’s compliments, Yi Sha immediately puffed up with pride.

Trying to appear humble on the surface, she smiled at her and Mrs. Ming: "I only design for those who are already blessed with excellent conditions, which is why I decided to design evening gowns for Mrs. Ming and the young miss."

"Of course!" Mrs. Ming raised her eyebrows, feeling over the moon with the praise.

At Lu Family’s matriarch’s 70th birthday banquet, she and her daughter attracted envy from numerous wealthy ladies and rich girls while wearing Yi Sha’s designs.

"The actress next to Lu Zhan is also stunning. I think she’s the best on the scene. She’ll probably be the queen of today’s red carpet," Mrs. Ming said with her arms crossed, looking every bit the superior critic.

"Oh my! Who is this actress? She’s so beautiful!" Ming Xiang joined Mrs. Ming and Ming Ran just in time to catch the live broadcast.

Yi Sha instantly felt displeased, pursed her lips, and spoke with a heavy tone of envy: "Beautiful? I think she’s just so-so."

"Her face might not be that stunning, but in that dress, she’s like it was tailor-made for her, bringing out such a strong presence!" Ming Xiang couldn’t help but continue expressing her opinion.

"Is this a haute couture from LV?" She blinked, turning to Mrs. Ming.

Mrs. Ming exchanged a knowing look with her and instantly saw through the girl’s thoughts: "I’ll ask around for you. If you like this dress, I’ll borrow it for you for your birthday this year."

"Really? Ahhh, thank you so much, Great Aunt!" Ming Xiang became ecstatic, grabbing Mrs. Ming’s hand and jumping up and down in excitement.

Yi Sha rolled her eyes, sounding even more sour than before: "The jewelry on her is from LV, but the dress isn’t."

Ming Xiang blinked in surprise, wondering why this sister kept interjecting.

"She is Yi Sha, an internationally renowned fashion designer," Mrs. Ming introduced.

As soon as Ming Xiang heard this, she let out another excited scream: "You’re Yi Sha? The dress Wan Rui is wearing, is it your design?"

The young girl’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Yi Sha gave a short laugh: "I designed Lu Zhan’s outfit, but the dress on Wen Rui, it’s designed by someone completely unknown."

"You wouldn’t know her even if I told you her name, Jiang Man."

"What????" Ming Xiang’s expression quickly shifted from excitement to shock.

"Jiang Man, she’s a fashion designer?"

"Supposedly," Yi Sha said, feeling unconvinced.

How on earth did such an unknown designer come up with such a stunning design?

Could it be that she used the Hu family’s financial power to hire a ghost designer to do it for her?

No, an ordinary ghost designer couldn’t reach this level of expertise; it would have to be someone of the caliber of LV’s head designer Lawrence or someone like Anna.

Heh, think money can buy everything?

She had to teach Jiang Man a lesson!

If it weren’t for Jiang Man’s breathtaking design for Wen Rui, Lu Zhan would have been the highest trending topic on the red carpet today.

And she would have been the talk of the town, with this boost in popularity taking her to the next level.

Now that her exposure was divided by half, how could she swallow her pride?

"Yi Sha, didn’t she present a ’Queen’s Crown’ series at the Lu Family matriarch’s birthday? Do you think she might be a senior designer at LV?"

"Madam, this is impossible! I know all the senior designers at LV, and I’ve never heard of one named Jiang Man. The Hu family is so wealthy, who knows what kind of backdoor dealings might be happening here?"

"You have a point there," said Mrs. Ming, nodding. She didn’t want to admit in her heart that Jiang Man might be that talented.

After all, on the day of the Lu Family matriarch’s birthday banquet, Jiang Man sat beside Lu Zhendong. If she truly were Lu Zhendong’s girlfriend, then her daughter Ming Ran had no chance of competing with her at all.

"Madam, I’m going to the restroom. Please excuse me for a moment."

Yi Sha stood up.

Mrs. Ming, distracted and preoccupied, responded absentmindedly.

Just as Yi Sha left, Ming Xiang took her seat, lowered her voice, and leaned toward Mrs. Ming and Ming Ran.

"Great-aunt, sis, is this Jiang Man actually Lu Xingzhou’s wife?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ming was stunned.

Ming Ran’s reaction was even more intense, "Where did you hear that?"

"I told you, didn’t I? The person who was originally going to marry Lu Xingzhou was named Jiang Man, and she fled the marriage. Then, someone with a homophonic name took her place and married Lu Xingzhou."

"An impostor... That can’t be possible, can it?" Ming Ran could hardly believe a single word, her elegant brows furrowed tightly.

Mrs. Ming was flabbergasted, "She isn’t Zhendong’s girlfriend? She’s actually Lu Xingzhou’s wife?"

"You don’t believe it?" Ming Xiang glanced around and finally spotted Jiang Man, waving and shouting, "Manman, over here! This way!"

Jiang Man was looking for the man who had played her hero.

Her eyes instantly found him in the front row.

Sitting in his seat, his profile was flawless.

She was almost staring, transfixed, until the call from her friend broke her gaze.

Jiang Man covered her flushed face and hurried towards the 10th row.

Upon seeing Mrs. Ming and Ming Ran, she immediately greeted them with a sweet smile, "Hello, great-aunt. Hello, cousin. You both look even more beautiful than Xiangxiang described, great-aunt looks so young, and cousin is so pretty."

"So this is the Manman you talked about?" Mrs. Ming was beaming with delight.

Ming Xiang was about to reply when her phone rang.

She looked at it and stuck out her tongue, "Great-aunt, Manman and I need to head back backstage. The troupe leader is checking attendance; he wants us to rehearse one more time."

"Go ahead, you two get busy."

After Ming Xiang and Jiang Man left, Mrs. Ming’s astonishment only grew.

"Lu Xingzhou’s wife? This is too unbelievable, but with her four impressive uncles, it makes sense that she could marry into the Lu Family. However, this Jiang Man doesn’t seem like a lady from a prestigious family at all; she seems more like a troubled girl."

Ming Ran had no interest in her mother’s rambling.

She was tense all over, her entire body stiffening up in an instant.

How did Ming Xiang learn about Jiang Man marrying Lu Xingzhou?

Had Jiang Man told her?

As Ming Ran was lost in thought, the venue suddenly became noisy.

Lu Zhan entered the arena, hand in hand with Wen Rui, and at the same time, the international superstar JOJO walked the red carpet.

Amid the noise of the crowd, a girl dressed very casually, compared to the glamorous stars, entered through the security passage and looked out of place.

Yet, she made her way to the second row of the inner field.

Even more bizarre was that when she passed by, Caesar the Great actually stood up and went to greet her...
