Chapter 52: No Need Money, It’s Free

Soon, it was the Starlight Gala. Shi Xi was pulled up by Han Chuan early in the morning.

Han Chuan held the clothes in one hand and Shi Xi in the other. He asked, “Where are the shoes? Where is the matching jewelry? Shi Xi, wake up! It’s already half past 10!”

The Starlight Gala did not start until 7 in the evening!

Shi Xi did not have the energy to retort. She narrowed her eyes and said sleepily, “They’re all on the table.”

“The shoes are on the table too?”

“…On the floor.”

Han Chuan picked up the shoe box and looked at the jewelry box on the table. He swept his hands across it and put it away.

When they arrived at the beauty salon, all kinds of people tossed and turned on Shi Xi’s face. They did skincare, makeup, and styling. After putting on the dress, they asked her to pose for hundreds of photos.

When she knew that she would only be able to pick out a few photos in the end, Shi Xi only wanted to stay away from the entertainment industry.

It was too difficult to earn money!

After being tossed around for a while, Shi Xi was so tired that she did not want to move when she returned to the nanny van.

She was even less interested in the Starlight Gala that night.

If she were to dress beautifully to receive the award, she would definitely be happy.

But today, she was only showing off her dress before sitting down and clapping.

The people in the entertainment industry were really vain.

Shi Xi felt hopeless. She turned to Han Chuan and asked, “How much money can I get for this job?”

Han Chuan glanced at Shi Xi and said, “I gave them a lot of gifts to let you walk the red carpet.”

Shi Xi: “???”

She was the scion of the Shi family (although she was fake), but she still had to give gifts to attend the party?!

It was heartbreaking.

“Next, we’ll wait until 6:30 pm. It’s about time for you to walk the red carpet.” Han Chuan looked at the schedule and started to go through the process with Shi Xi. “Walk up alone and sign your name on the poster. Then the host will ask you two questions. One is…”

Shi Xi felt as if she was facing an exam, and Han Chuan was telling her the answer.

Not long after, the window of the nanny van was knocked on.

Han Chuan rolled down the window and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Outside the window stood Wen Yao, whose eyes were red.

They were about to walk down the red carpet, but why was Wen Yao still wearing her normal clothes?

Wen Yao asked softly, “Can you let me get in the car? I have something to ask Shi Xi.”

Shi Xi said, “Get in.”

After Wen Yao got in the car, she gritted her teeth and looked at Shi Xi, pleading, “Shi Xi, can I borrow your gown?”

Shi Xi was shocked.

Han Chuan’s expression did not change as he asked calmly, “What happened?”

Wen Yao clenched her fists tightly, her tears almost falling down. “The dress that was supposed to be lent to me was suddenly taken away by someone else. My manager and I couldn’t borrow any other clothes, so we could only come over and beg you.”

Shi Xi quickly handed her a tissue. “Don’t cry. It wasn’t easy to put on makeup. Don’t waste it.”

Wen Yao’s tears fell one by one. Her eyes were big and beautiful. She took the tissue from Shi Xi and said, “Thank you.”

Han Chuan showed no mercy and said calmly, “You can go to the mall to buy a dress. There’s still half an hour before the red carpet. You can always find something suitable.”

Wen Yao shook her head. “No way!”

Shi Xi looked at Han Chuan.

Han Chuan smiled. “Miss Wen Yao, don’t treat others as fools. You took a fancy to Shi Xi’s dress and wanted to use it to walk on the red carpet.”

Wen Yao’s face was pale.

Han Chuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes smiling. “If you like the clothes, you can buy them yourself. Shi Xi, how much is this dress?”

Shi Xi: “Ah?”

Han Chuan glared at her. Why did she drop the ball now?

Shi Xi looked at Wen Yao’s earrings and smiled. “It’s free. I’ll lend you the dress.”

Han Chuan: “??!”

Wen Yao: “?!!”
