59 Gown That Is Out Of Season
Li Yue originally wanted to use these wealthy ladies to hide herself but now that Xi Wan was walking over, she had no chance to hide. Moreover, Xi Wan was greeting her now, so Li Yue had no choice but to respond. She could only say reluctantly, “It’s been a long time, Mrs. Su.”
“Didn’t we just meet a few days ago?” Xi Wan said, “I brought my brother out to buy some clothes but said that he was my boyfriend, right? Mrs. Li, we’re all of the same status. How can you say such nonsensical things?”
Li Yue’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. She did not know what to say. She could only pick up the glass of red wine on the table and take a sip to calm herself down.
However, her hands were shaking. The red wine did not enter Li Yue’s mouth. Instead, it spilled all over her sky-blue dress, which was particularly eye-catching.
Li Yue quickly stood up and apologized, “I’m sorry, I’m going to change my clothes.”
With that said, she then ran away in a hurry.
She had overestimated herself. She thought that she would be able to talk to Xi Wan normally after seeing her but now, it seemed that she could not even communicate with Xi Wan normally.
Xi Wan sat in Li Yue’s seat. She wanted to cross her legs, but she was bound by the dress, so she could only sit comfortably on the chair.
She complained to the system, “I wouldn’t have worn this if I knew this would happen. It’s so troublesome. I won’t attend banquets like this in the future if I can avoid it.”
The system said” [You might as well have worn the outfit that the antagonist gave you. It does not only fit your original character, but it can also please the antagonist! I think he’s being so cold to you today because you’re not wearing the gown he gave you!]
Xi Wan was unhappy and said, “Didn’t you see that dress? It’s pure white. Those who don’t know any better would think that I’m here to mourn or attend a funeral. Su Xun really has bad taste in clothes. It’s not even as good as the one I chose. It’s gorgeous and magnificent. How great is that?”
She originally wanted to praise her own taste in clothes further but someone commented on her dress. “Mrs. Su, your dress looks very familiar. It seems to be a popular style from a few years ago, right?”
Xi Wan raised her head. The person who had spoken was standing in front of her. She looked very young and was in her early twenties. Xi Wan could not tell what she looked like because the makeup on her face was a little thick.
The system spun rapidly and finally locked onto a person. It said to Xi Wan: [This person’s name is Cheng Shi. She’s a crazy suitor of the male protagonist, Ling Feng. In the original text, she also played a part in you being exposed in the end. I can’t say too much about the reasons. In my opinion, I think you should stay away from her. It’s not good for you to be in contact with her.]
Xi Wan was puzzled by Cheng Shi’s attitude. “What has it got to do with me if she likes Ling Feng? I’m already married to Su Xun so why does she still treat me as an enemy? Shouldn’t she be looking for the female protagonist instead?”
Speaking of this, the system was also very confused. [It’s because Ling Feng still likes you, so Cheng Shi sees you as a love rival. But later, Ling Feng fell in love with Zhao Fei and Cheng Shi actually learned to let go in an instant. She was not only very kind to Zhao Fei, but she even gave her most sincere blessings at their last wedding.]
Xi Wan was bewildered. “Is there something wrong with Cheng Shi’s brain? We’re both people that Ling Feng likes, so why is she treating me like this? Could this be the doomed aura of a cannon fodder female supporting character?”
[I think so too.] The system said: [No matter what it is, you should stay away from Cheng Shi and try not to talk to her…]
Before the system could finish its sentence, Xi Wan and Cheng Shi started a conversation, “You know of this gown? I thought it looked pretty good, so I took it out of the closet and put it on.”
The system: [I knew it, Xi Wan. You’re really the most difficult host to manage!]
Cheng Shi giggled and said, “Mrs. Su, the gown you’re wearing is already out of season. It’s already worthless. Mrs. Su, even if Chairman Su doesn’t dote on you much, you can’t possibly be unable to afford to buy a new gown, right?”
As soon as she said that, the expressions on the faces of the wealthy ladies around them instantly changed.
How dare Cheng Shi say whatever she wanted to say! Even if Xi Wan was not favored, she was still a member of the Su family! Who would have nothing better to do than to provoke the Su family?!
When Cheng Shi saw that Xi Wan was silent, she became bolder and said, “Mrs. Su, I have a several shops here and the dresses there are the most popular styles this year. If you need it, I can recommend the shop to you so that you will have a proper gown when you attend banquets in the future. Mrs. Su, do you think the gown I’m wearing looks good?”
