Chapter 291 -290: Charity Gala, Stunning the Crowd

Jing Hang had taken the blood samples back to Tang Sect for monitoring, which would take several days, while Ming Yao finished filming the last scenes of “Peerless” and began her vacation.

That day, she received a phone call from Xia Yiwan.

“Yaoyao, are you going to the A&M charity gala tonight?”

As Ming Yao was preparing a candlelit dinner for the evening, she wedged her phone between her cheek and shoulder, “I won’t be going. I’m planning to have a candlelit dinner at home with my husband.”

Xia Yiwan exclaimed with awe, “That’s so romantic.”

“You should also find a man and enjoy some romance.”

“Forget it for me, the trauma that scumbag Zheng Yunche left me with hasn’t completely dissipated yet!”

Ming Yao comforted Xia Yiwan for a bit and, thinking of the charity dinner Xia Yiwan would attend that evening, said to her, “Swing by Autumn Water Studio, I had Zhong Ling prepare a gown for you.”

Xia Yiwan was extremely surprised, “Thank you so much, sister!”

“What are you being formal with me for? You’ll be the belle of the ball tonight.”

The dress Ming Yao had prepared for Xia Yiwan was a starry sky gradient color evening gown with a strapless design and small diamonds embedded around the bust, shining like the starry cosmos, dazzlingly brilliant and very eye-catching.

Upon receiving Ming Yao’s call, Zhong Ling arranged for a makeup artist.

When Xia Yiwan arrived, she tried on the gown and got her makeup done. Opening her eyes, she could hardly believe that the fairy-like woman in the mirror was herself.

The makeup artist hadn’t applied thick makeup on her as she was naturally blessed with bright eyes and white teeth. Her innate vivacity and prettiness had previously been hidden due to her not knowing how to dress up.

Upon seeing Xia Yiwan’s transformation, Zhong Ling couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sister Yao’s friend is just like a little fairy, so beautiful.”

The normally straightforward Xia Yiwan blushed.

It was her recently popular cosmetic products that had earned her an invitation to the A&M charity gala.

Xia Yiwan truly cherished this opportunity, as good performance could provide her company with some promotion.

The A&M charity gala had invited quite a few celebrities from the entertainment industry.

This included Zheng Yunche.

Ever since their breakup and falling out, Xia Yiwan had not seen Zheng Yunche again.

Zheng Yunche walked the red carpet with the entertainment industry’s rising star Xu Huanhuan.

Xia Yiwan had no male companion and walked the red carpet alone.

However, as soon as Xia Yiwan made her appearance, she caused a sensation across the venue.

Because she was wearing the latest haute couture from L, the top-ranked luxury brand in France—the Starry Sky Dress.

Many big-name stars wanted to borrow the Starry Sky Dress but failed to do so.

Yet now, the Starry Sky Dress was worn by Xia Yiwan.

As many fans of the stars were watching the live broadcast and saw Xia Yiwan in her haute couture gown, they began to express their jealous remarks.

—— At least she’s the boss of a small cosmetic company, coming out in a high-quality imitation!

—— Even an Oscar-winning actress couldn’t borrow L’s Starry Sky haute couture gown, how big does this woman named Xia Yiwan think her face is?

—— I heard she’s the daughter of a nouveau riche; could it be that she bought it with money?

—— Don’t make me laugh, upstairs. Can the Starry Sky be something one simply buys with money? I heard from L’s Chief Designer last time that it was designed for a friend. Could the daughter of a nouveau riche possibly be a friend of L’s Chief Designer?

—— If the imitation already looks this stunning, I can’t even imagine what the genuine article must be like?

——I strongly demand that the organizers of the A&M Charity Gala kick out anyone wearing a high imitation dress, otherwise it lowers the entire event’s class!

After walking the red carpet, Zheng Yunche got his phone from his agent and saw the trending topic.

He turned back to look at Xia Yiwan.

Although he knew she was wearing a high imitation, he was still stunned by her beauty.

The starry sky gradient dress on Xia Yiwan perfectly outlined her slender and graceful figure, her long hair was done up in a bun with two strands left dangling by her cheeks, her makeup was understated, and she looked pretty and sweet.

Zheng Yunche had always known Xia Yiwan was not lacking in looks, rated as one of the top in the entertainment industry.

Besides her lack of fashion sense, coming off as unsophisticated, he couldn’t find any other fault with her.

“What are you looking at?” Xu Huanhuan sat down beside Zheng Yunche, and following his gaze, she noticed the stunning Xia Yiwan.

“She seems to have made the hot search, wearing a high imitation of the L House Starry Sky Dress.”

Zheng Yunche’s gaze left Xia Yiwan, truly not understanding why her wealthy family couldn’t hire a stylist for her to avoid these embarrassing appearances time and time again!

Thankfully, his past romance with her had never been publicized, otherwise, he would feel disgraced too!

Zheng Yunche had completely forgotten that his C-position debut was greatly attributed to Xia Yiwan’s strong support and help.

Chu Siyao also attended tonight’s charity gala, she entered the banquet hall with a smile, arm in arm with her cousin Zheng Mengxuan.

Upon reaching her named table and spotting Xia Yiwan sitting diagonally across, her brows furrowed with dissatisfaction.

No wonder few people noticed her when she came in; it turned out Xia Yiwan shamelessly wore a high imitation dress.

Chu Siyao immediately summoned the staff, commanding arrogantly, “Aren’t you touted as the highest standard charity gala in Li City? How can you let someone wearing a high imitation dress inside? Doesn’t that lower your status?”

The staff had already received numerous complaints. He approached Xia Yiwan and said with contempt, “Miss Xia, please change into another dress before returning.”

Xia Yiwan was still unaware of what had happened, and being asked to leave suddenly would make anyone unhappy.

She suppressed her anger, slightly furrowing her brows, “Why do I need to change dresses?”

“What you’re wearing is a high imitation from L House, and our gala definitely does not allow such things to happen!”

If L House finds out, and they sue Miss Xia, the reputation of our charity gala would also be affected.

Xia Yiwan was about to burst into laughter from anger.

Such a beautiful dress, how could it look like a high imitation?

And besides, could Yaoyao give her a fake dress?

“Isn’t the editor of your charity gala a fashion expert? Let her come and verify whether my dress is a high imitation or not?”

Seeing Xia Yiwan refusing to leave, Chu Siyao scoffed, “Xia Yiwan, you’ve shamed yourself internationally. Who doesn’t know that the dress even Oscar-winning actresses can’t borrow, on what basis could you?”

“Moreover, the Chief Designer of L House already said that the Starry Sky couture dress was designed for her friend.”

Chu Siyao’s words filled with contempt and disdain caught the attention of many people.

Everyone began to look at Xia Yiwan.

Xia Yiwan, biting her lip while facing off against Chu Siyao, said, “The sour grapes are speaking. If my dress is genuine, would you dare kneel and apologize to me?”

Chu Siyao snorted, “What wouldn’t I dare? If what you’re wearing isn’t genuine, would you dare to kneel and apologize to me?”

“Of course,” Xia Yiwan had no doubt that Yaoyao wouldn’t let her wear a fake.

Soon enough, the editor of the charity gala arrived.
