Chapter 292 -291: Slap Her Hard in the Face

Seeing the haute couture dress on Xia Yiwan, a look of astonishment flashed in the editor-in-chief’s eyes.

But soon, the light in her eyes vanished, replaced by a complexity.

“I personally called L brand’s Chief Designer, and she clearly stated she wouldn’t lend out this Starry Sky dress. Miss Xia, how did you manage to borrow it?”

Xia Yiwan furrowed her brows, “Editor-in-chief, you don’t need to worry about how I borrowed it, you just need to check whether it’s genuine or a counterfeit.”

The editor-in-chief pondered, “I haven’t seen the genuine Starry Sky, nor can I confirm its authenticity. If L brand could confirm it on Weibo, that would prove your dress is real.”

Chu Siyao smiled triumphantly.

L brand has never posted on Weibo for anyone, have they?

Xia Yiwan, a nouveau riche’s daughter, what capabilities does she have to make L brand affirm on Weibo for her?

With a corner of her mouth hooked, Chu Siyao said, “Xia Yiwan, it seems you’ve lost. Why don’t you kneel down and apologize to me now?”

Imperial Garden.

Having just finished cooking steak, Ming Yao received a call from Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling’s voice sounded righteous and indignant, “Sister Yao, I’m so furious. Are the netizens blind? They’re saying Miss Xia’s dress is fake when it was clearly delivered personally to you by L brand!”

“I’ll handle it.”

After hanging up, Ming Yao glanced at the trending topics on Weibo.

Then she made a phone call.

At the charity banquet, Chu Siyao was aggressively insisting Xia Yiwan kneel down when suddenly a staff member came over and said to the editor-in-chief, “L brand has posted on Weibo.”

Hearing this, Chu Siyao felt a surge of elation.

Must be because L brand found out about Xia Yiwan wearing their fake, right?

Disgraced internationally, how could Xia Yiwan still have the face to mingle in the fashion circle?

Updated from freewёbnoνel.com.

She must use this trending topic to smash Xia Yiwan’s image to the ground, ensuring her cosmetics line will never sell again!

The editor-in-chief took out her phone and opened Weibo.

The post from L brand had already made it to the top three in the hot search.

L brand’s official account: Tailor-made the Starry Sky gradient dress for Miss Xia Yiwan. So beautiful.

The accompanying picture was of Xia Yiwan walking the red carpet.

A short sentence directly slapped the faces of everyone who didn’t believe Xia Yiwan was wearing the genuine article.

The editor-in-chief’s face instantly changed, and she looked at Xia Yiwan with a hint of flattery and reverence.

“Miss Xia, I misunderstood you just now, I am truly sorry!”

Xia Yiwan also saw the Weibo post from L brand.

Her heart felt warm and sweet.

It must have been her Yaoyao who contacted L brand!

Yaoyao was indeed amazing!

How she was wishing to marry Yaoyao right then and there!

Seeing the editor-in-chief apologizing to Xia Yiwan, Chu Siyao’s brow furrowed tightly. “Why are you apologizing to her? She’s the one who should apologize for wearing a counterfeit!”

The editor-in-chief glanced at Chu Siyao, “You should take a look at Weibo. L brand has posted. They specially customized it for Miss Xia!”

Chu Siyao looked at her Weibo.

Her face turned ashen instantly.

How could this be possible?

Xia Yiwan is just a nouveau riche’s daughter, a country bumpkin!

Why would L brand tailor a unique haute couture for the daughter of a nouveau riche?

How could she possibly deserve it?

Xia Yiwan looked at Chu Siyao, whose face was shifting between green and purple, and she curved her lips, “Chu Siyao, it’s your turn to kneel and apologize!”

Chu Siyao was nearly gnashing her teeth.

How could she possibly kneel and apologize to Xia Yiwan?

Does she deserve it?

Chu Siyao’s cousin, Zheng Mengxuan, saw the atmosphere had become somewhat stiff. He walked over and said, “Xia Yiwan, it’s not a big deal. Siyao didn’t do it on purpose, why be so aggressive?”

Xia Yiwan gave a cold laugh, “If I had been wearing a fake today, would your cousin have forced me to kneel before her? Zheng Mengxuan, you really are a hypocrite!”

The editor tried to smooth things over, “Indeed, Miss Chu misunderstood Miss Xia. How about this, Miss Chu, why don’t you apologize properly and we can forget about kneeling down?”

Xia Yiwan looked at Chu Siyao, “If you don’t want to kneel, then just say ‘I’m sorry’ three times.”

Chu Siyao’s face turned iron blue as she said, “Sorry, sorry, sorry!”

Rarely hearing Chu Siyao apologize, Xia Yiwan was in a good mood. She waved her hand dismissively, “Forget it. Next time open your ‘dog eyes’ and don’t make the same mistake!”

Chu Siyao trembled with anger.

As she sat back down, she gritted her teeth in rage.

Zheng Mengxuan saw Chu Siyao was furious and patted her arm, “Why bother with the daughter of a parvenu?”

“Brother, she actually got the L family to post on her behalf, has she latched onto some connection? Apologizing to her in front of so many people, it feels terrible!”

“What kind of connections can she have? At most, she has spent a lot of money to get that dress, that’s all!”

Chu Siyao frowned.

She always felt that the Starry Sky Dress couldn’t be acquired just through money!

Seeing Chu Siyao sullen, Zheng Mengxuan consoled, “All right, I have a way to get revenge for you, to make her lose face tonight so she will never be able to mingle with Li City’s upper society again!”

Chu Siyao’s eyes lit up, “What way?”

“You’ll see soon enough.”

Zheng Mengxuan left the round table, and after quite a while, he came back.

Chu Siyao didn’t know how Zheng Mengxuan planned to make Xia Yiwan lose face, but she was already looking forward to it.

The auction was nearing its conclusion.

During it, Xia Yiwan spent five million to purchase a Jade Hairpin and a pair of Jade Earrings, planning to give them to Ming Yao.

Just before the end of the auction, the host said, “Thank you very much for attending tonight’s charity dinner. Although the auction was supposed to end here, two ladies are willing to offer a dance as an auction item, meaning whichever guest bids the highest will have the opportunity to dance with these two ladies.”

At this point, Xia Yiwan’s eyelid twitched.

A bad feeling rose from within her.

Chu Siyao looked at Zheng Mengxuan, “Brother, is one of those two dances mine?”

“Yes, I will bid high for your dance. As for Xia Yiwan, some nobody like her won’t have anyone willing to dance with her!”

A smirk curled at the corners of Chu Siyao’s lips.

The host announced, “Please welcome Miss Chu Siyao and Miss Xia Yiwan to the stage.”

Xia Yiwan cursed under her breath.

Who said she wanted to auction off a dance?

Wasn’t this just a clear attempt to make her look foolish?

Xia Yiwan was well aware of her situation; she knew the sons of the upper society would not care for someone of her status.

As for the others attending the banquet, they were even less likely to bid just for the sake of her dance.

And with Zheng Mengxuan’s support, Chu Siyao was bound to utterly overshadow her.

Xia Yiwan wanted to slip away quietly, but it was too late.

A spotlight shone down from above her.

For Xia Yiwan, neither staying nor leaving seemed to be an option.

For a moment, her expression appeared somewhat uneasy.

Inside VIP box number two of the charity dinner.

Sitting there were the top scions and ladies of Li City.

In the middle of the black leather sofa, Yanxi leisurely rested his legs on the coffee table, glass of red wine between his fingertips. Seeing the awkward look on Xia Yiwan’s face on the big screen, his beautiful lips lifted into an amused smile.

The little country girl also has her moments of distress?
