Chapter 177 - 100 Deservedly the number one socialite_8
Kang Jinxian looked at Ji Yunya’s eager face and couldn’t help sneering. She knew Yunya wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to show off and would certainly accept.
Her eyes shifted as she immediately thought of a plan.
Not only could she get out of the marriage with Young Master Zhou, but she could also ruin Ji Yunya’s reputation—turning the so-called top belle into the laughing stock of the public.
"Fine, this afternoon mom will have someone bring over the custom-made dress for fitting, I’ll call you then."
After Kang Jinxian left, Yunya picked up a wet towel and wiped her hands.
The places touched by Jinxian felt disgusting to even think about.
Lady Zhou’s birthday banquet? Yunya lifted her lips in a light smile.
What interesting things will happen at the party? The thought was so exciting.
——
In the afternoon, the person who brought the dresses came, a capable-looking woman in her thirties, who immediately handed a gift box to Kang Jinxian: "Miss Kang, this is your dress."
Kang Jinxian opened it to reveal a moon-white floor-length gown, embroidered all over with swaying silver patterns, exuding a restrained elegance.
With Jinxian’s fresh temperament, this dress also had many detailed touches in subtle places, enhancing her ethereal beauty while adding a touch of femininity and nobility.
She really loved it, looking at the dress on her almost too fondly to let go.
Yun Shu nodded in satisfaction.
When Kang Jinxian saw another box, she remembered Ji Yunya and couldn’t help but say, "Is this Yunya’s? Let me have a look."
Upon opening the box, she saw a green puffball dress covered in sequins and cartoon patterns, looking incredibly childish.
She couldn’t help but curl her lips in a cold smile. Ji Yunya in this dress would look like a little kid. Lady Zhou is a dignified person who favors modest young women. With Yunya’s flashy style, where is the demeanor of the top belle? She would certainly become a joke.
"It’s really beautiful." Kang Jinxian said insincerely as her fingers brushed over the sequins on the dress, "Yunya will definitely like it."
The capable-looking woman smiled and said, "Maybe we can have Miss Yunya try it on, and if there’s anything that doesn’t fit, I can take it back for alterations. It won’t delay tomorrow’s banquet."
Kang Jinxian responded with a smile, "Good, then I’ll go call Yunya down."
The capable woman, named Luo Lin, is a well-known fashion designer in the country, and of course, she also undertakes private design work for some high-society ladies, including the Yun Family.
Miss Yun, Kang Jinxian, is someone she often dealt with—besides being sweet and obedient, there wasn’t much else to her. Now, with a real Miss Yun emerging unexpectedly, that put Kang Jinxian in an awkward position.
Luo Lin thought to herself that she had only seen a photo of Miss Yun Ya on a newspaper once, and it was a blurry side view. Still, the noble carriage was clear, even through the fuzzy pixels.
She understood Yun Shu’s implied meaning, so she brought with her a design from one of her junior designers, while the dress for Kang Jinxian was her proud creation.
To do this job well, one has to learn how to turn a blind eye.
Soon, Kang Jinxian led a young girl down from upstairs. The girl was dressed in the most basic denim jeans and white shirt, her long hair tied in a neat ponytail. She was dressed so simply it was almost stark, yet she exuded an elegance many times greater than Kang Jinxian in her fancy dress. Jinxian, unaware, kept flaunting a haughty demeanor, trying to outshine the girl beside her, not knowing how ironic it looked to others.
Luo Lin thought to herself, for a true beauty, clothes are just the icing on the cake. The old saying is true, "Even in a sackcloth, a beauty remains a beauty."
This girl was just like that. Even the simplest clothes were different on her. Elegance deep within was something Kang Jinxian, with her dainty beauty, couldn’t compare to.
Truly worthy of being Ji Lanyi’s daughter, she even surpassed her mother’s youthful grace. This title of top belle was well deserved.
Kang Jinxian noticed Luo Lin’s admiring look towards Ji Yunya and couldn’t help but bite her lip in secret.
She fell slightly behind Yunya and lowered her head.
