Chapter 428: The Dress

Quan Yu had a unique market acumen and was known for his decisiveness in the business world. He had influence in both the surface world and the underworld. He had accumulated a great amount of wealth and as the leader of the Quan Family’s mafia family, his words carried weight in the underworld too.

“What nonsense! These people are crazy!” As Ah Ao drove Mo Li to work, he carefully observed Mo Li’s expression. However, Ah Ao knew that Mo Li wouldn’t take these rumors to heart. Mo Li looked at the blurry pictures on the articles, it was impossible to tell who was in it at all.

But Mo Li had a feeling that this should be the doing of that Miss Lu from Beijing. She couldn’t wait anymore and had started to clean out the trash from her family.

When the two girls at Pearl River saw the news, they were shocked. Lu Ke was ecstatic, she did not expect the good news to come so soon. Quan Yu had announced in the newspaper that he was going to marry her!

When the housekeeper at Lu Ke’s family heard about this, he felt embarrassed for Lu Ke. Why would miss assume that Miss Lu in the newspaper is her? Even a dummy would know Young Master Quan is marrying is the Miss Lu from the capital. What does it even have to do with our family?

But clearly, Lu Ke didn’t even think about that. She had fallen hook, line, and sinker for Lu Qin’s lies.

The other person who fell into madness was Xiao Yue. Now she understood why Lu Ke reached out to her for collaboration. The things that Lu Ke mentioned at the cafe yesterday also made sense now. Lu Ke released the news after she found out Quan Yu had gotten close to me, to frighten me off. However, I doubt she will be able to release such news without permission from the Quan Family. Could this be true? Will Quan Yu marry a brainless woman like that Lu Ke?

Just as Xiao Yue pondered how to deal with this woman, Lu Ke already made her move. She sent everyone an invitation. Apparently, she was going to hold a charity party.

Reading Lu Ke’s arrogant and provocative words on the invitation, Xiao Yue sneered. How stupid can this woman be? If I can take down one Mo Li, what is another Lu Ke?

Just as Xiao Yue wondered what to do, her maid knocked on the door. She walked in holding a very exquisitely-wrapped paper box. Xiao Yue frowned and said, “Who sent this over? I didn’t order anything recently!”

The timing is too weird. To send me a present at a time like this? It’s too suspicious.

The maid was stunned and she uttered, “Miss, a young man dropped this off. He said he was only following his orders. The young man was in black suit and tie.”

Xiao Yue was happy when she heard the maid’s description. That sounds like the man who has been following Quan Yu around! Quan Yu does care about me. He probably saw the news and thought about how sad they would make me so he sent me a dress to make me feel better.

“The man said the package has to be given to me in person?”

“Yes.” The maid nodded. “He has given me miss’ name. The card on the box also has miss’ name.”

“Okay, you can put it over there!”

The maid sighed in relief. Ever since the incident at the birthday party, their miss was in an explosive mood. She could explode without any warning. She was very hard to deal with. So once Xiao Yue said that the maid quickly put down the box and retreated from Xiao Yue’s room.

After the maid exited, Xiao Yue put away her haughty attitude. She skipped over like a little girl to open the present. When she opened it, her eyes glowed up. As she unwrapped it further, she had to cover her mouth in excitement.

It was a FM designer gown. Even Mo Li couldn’t get the chance to be its model.

The dress used high-end silk fabric. Flowers were the main design concept behind the dress. The dress was embellished with embroidery, hand-drawn, three-dimensional stitching, and other forms of flowers.

Xiao Yue’s favorite part was the cut of the fishtail dress. She appreciated the details of each fabric flower petals, they would definitely grab everyone’s attention. The smooth lines of the dress perfectly blend with the layers of fabric. The gown would accentuate Xiao Yue’s elegance and nobility.

The gown was so beautiful and expensive that Xiao Yue found it hard to put it down.

Xiao Yue caressed the gemstones on the gown. For a middle-class family, this dress would feed them for several years. Of everyone she knew, only Quan Yu could spend so lavishly on her! It was so exciting!

When Ah Ao left the Xiao Family home, he sent a message to Mo Li. “Done.”

Mo Li, who was sitting in the classroom, raised her eyebrows slightly. I have done everything I can. Everything else is dependent on the girl herself.

Xiao Yue had lost her face completely during the most recent two parties. So she had to do something to reclaim that. Mo Li was kind enough to send Xiao Yue the dress to help her do that.

…

Xiao Yue’s lips curled as her eyes landed on the dress on her body. This will be such a faceslap for Lu Ke at her charity party!
