“You, you’re talking nonsense!” Tony put his hands on his waist like an old hen entering battle. “I helped you out of kindness, but not only were you not grateful, you even turned around to malign me. It’s simply—”

“You’re simply heartless and ungrateful! I-I don’t care about you anymore!” With that, he turned around and walked out.

“Hey!” Luo Tianxue still wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Lin Qingqian. “Forget it.”

“He was clearly the one who ruined my cheongsam. He has to take responsibility!” Luo Tianxue said angrily. Her watery eyes were wide open, and she looked even more lively and cute.

“Let’s leave him a way out so that we can meet again in the future!” Lin Qingqian said lightly.

“What about my cheongsam?” Luo Tianxue pouted reluctantly.

Brother Ming was also at a loss. “Yes, there’s only half an hour left before the red carpet. I really can’t borrow any branded clothes.”

Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything. She let go of Luo Tianxue’s hand, turned around, and walked to a corner of the dressing room to open the box she had brought.

The three of them surrounded her at the same time and saw her take out a dress that was exactly the same as the cut cheongsam.

Luo Tianxue’s eyes widened in disbelief. “This, this, why is there another one?”

Brother Ming was overjoyed. “Could it be that Master Qi made two?”

This was giving Tianxue too much face.

Lin Qingqian shook her head. “Master only made one. The one in the changing room was made by me from mimicking Master’s work.”

The two clothes looked identical at first glance, but if one looked carefully at the needle and threading, they would be able to tell the difference.

Luo Tianxue hugged her arm happily and shook it vigorously, “Qingqian, you’re really too awesome! I love you to death!”

Brother Ming heaved a sigh of relief. “Miss Lin, you’re really meticulous.”

Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled lightly without saying anything. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the hand on her arm. Was this girl going to shake her arm until it broke?

Suisui also smiled. “Qianqian, you’re still as smart as before.”

Luo Tianxue turned her head and asked curiously, “Was Qingqian also this powerful in the past?”

“Of course.” Suisui raised her chin proudly, as if she was the one being praised. “Qianqian was considered an influential figure in school back then. Many people were jealous of her talent and tried playing tricks behind her back. In the end, she still slapped those schemers in the face!”

“Wow! Qingqian is really amazing!” Luo Tianxue looked at Lin Qingqian with admiration.

Lin Qingqian said, “Don’t listen to her bragging. It’s just that someone said that one can’t have the intention to harm others, but one has to be wary of others!”

Luo Tianxue blinked and asked curiously, “Who said it?”

Lin Qing’s thin eyelashes trembled slightly, but she didn’t reply. “Suisui, hurry up. You need to style her hair in waves. I’m going to go borrow a hair curler.”

After saying that, she ignored Luo Tianxue’s question and walked out of the dressing room.

Actually, she had not been so scheming in the beginning. At that time, she had just arrived in Lan City from Yushan. Whether it was in the Jiang family or in school, she did not fit in.

She had no friends or family. Other than following Jiang Yanshen around, she spent her days studying.

Later on, the school held a design and styling competition. She signed up to participate and entered the finals. In the end, an hour before the finals, the clothes she borrowed were splashed with ink. She was angry and anxious so she looked for her teacher to seek justice.

However, no one paid attention to her. Her Master said, “This is the first lesson of your life. You can’t even protect your own things. What right do you have to resent the person who hurt you?”

Hence, she carried her ink-stained clothes home and cried in her room all night. She didn’t even eat dinner that night.

At dawn, the door was pushed open. A man in a white shirt and black casual pants placed a tray of food in front of her before turning around to say something..
