Forensic Doctor, Moe Wife - Chapter 495

Chapter 495: A Sensible Person

In fact, after Sheng Xiao left Huang Yao, no one had ever called Sheng Kai ‘Crown Prince’. This showed that the outsiders were calling Sheng Xiao as such because of his ability, but not his identity as the successor of Huang Yao.

Now, they could not tell who was nobler between Sheng Kai and Sheng Xiao. After all, Huang Yao was a diamond empire with a long history. It might look like it was more prestigious, but Sheng Xiao was in the military industry and surrounded by powerful figures.

On top of that, with the support of the Shen family, it was impossible to imagine what would become of Sheng Xiao and who could be a match for him.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, Gu ZIling was already dressing up at home. She wore a Chanel haute couture dress. The bodice was a black and white retro double-breasted jacket and the dress was checkered. When she wore her black beret, she looked very elegant, just like a star attending an award ceremony.

Perfected with the exclusive jewelry set of Huang Yao, Gu Ziling looked like a beauty pageant candidate.

She did not believe that Mu Qiqi could beat her.

Looking at Hu Ran, she looked much more modest. She wore a black off-shoulder fur coat with a red wine long dress. Her look was cozy and warm. She did not seem to be wanting to be in the limelight, so she did not wear any luxurious accessories.

But when Gu Ziling saw this, she crossed her arms. “Is it because you have not gone out for the last two years that you dress like a little peasant girl?”

“Isn’t it a charity dinner? Besides, I know Second Sister-in-law will definitely dress up beautifully for the event. I just don’t want to steal your limelight. Don’t you wish for that too?”

“Are you just scared that you might make mistakes after not going out for two whole years?”

Gu Ziling was somehow right.

Hu Ran had almost stayed at home all the time when she was pretending to be sick for the last two years. How would she know about the latest trend in fashion?

So, she decided to play safe. Moreover, she was not the person who was going there to fight with Gu Ziling. She was just going to be a spectator. So why should she compete with her?

It was just that Gu Ziling’s chin was almost reaching to the sky.

“It doesn’t matter if I am afraid of making mistakes or not, it’s almost time. Shouldn’t you get going already?”

“For the occasion today, everyone will be interested in you. I will handle them. You just have to stay by my side. Don’t offend anybody or get Huang Yao into trouble, that’s it.”

Hu Ran gave her a wry smile when she heard the warning. “Second Sister-in-law, I have returned to normal.”

“Yes, you are, indeed. And don’t you get back your hot temper as well? You are a Sheng now. Don’t be too arrogant.”

Hu Ran rolled her eyes and ignored Gu Ziling. And she got into the extended Rolls Royce of the Sheng family.

Although she somewhat looked like a girl who was just a servant whose duty was to carry shoes for Gu Ziling.

She wondered what was going to happen when they met Mu Qiqi.

…

In fact, Sheng Xiao did not prepare a too luxurious outfit for Mu Qiqi. It was a charity dinner after all, not an occasion to show off.

But when she wore the white turtleneck sweater and a high waist camel wide-leg pants, with her white beaded jacket, she looked clean and bright. Although the outfit was ordinary, it complimented Mu Qiqi’s fair skin and made her look young and chic effortlessly.

There must be many people trying to show off their beauty today. So instead of dressing beautifully, she should just maintain a beautiful poise.

When she departed, Mu Qiqi did not wear any accessories. Because her age and Zhongteng were her most expensive accessories.

At four o’clock, Xu Che drove Mu Qiqi to the venue of the charity dinner.

When she arrived, she already saw Lu Qianqian’s car at the roadside.

Mu Qiqi let Xu Che stop the car. Then, Lu Qianqian opened the car door and got into Mu Qiqi’s car. “Look at you. The dignified wife of the CEO of Zhongteng. You should use a better car when you are travelling.”

“You know I don’t like these. Besides, this is the car Sheng Xiao used to meet with the authorities. I think it is good enough,” said Mu Qiqi , “Do you think it is right for me to be living a luxurious life behind the back of my man who is living humbly?”

“You’re right. Real nobleness comes from within.”

While Lu Qianqian was talking, Mu Qiqi saw the ring on her finger. “Lin Mu’an wanted me to keep it a secret from you, but he has proposed early it seems.”

Lu Qianqian flushed and said, “This happened because of the snakes found in my house last time. Maybe he wanted to give me a sense of security, so he did not wait anymore.”

“Why don’t you share such good news with me immediately?”

“Don’t tease me already. I am so busy after taking the position as the chairman.” Lu Qianqian glared at her.

Actually, Lu Qianqian was dressed quite modestly today. She went for an elegant and ladylike style. It was not an occasion to show off anyway.

“Right, it’s about time. Let’s go to the red carpet.”

Mu Qiqi was about to get out of the car. Suddenly, she stopped Lu Qianqian after seeing the person who was walking on the red carpet. “Wait.”

“Why?”

Mu Qiqi pointed with her chin at the red carpet. Gu Ziling was posing on the red carpet for the journalist to take photos.

“Maybe it’s because our car is too ordinary that nobody realizes you have arrived,” said Lu Qianqian, “But, look. Your Second Sister-in-law’s outfit looks quite valuable.”

Having said that, they smiled at each other slyly.

Gu Ziling was acting like a peacock. Perhaps no one attending the event was like her, acting like a huge star coming for an award.

“That Miss Hu is a rather sensible person.”

“it is going to be a great scene later in the hall.”

“Let’s go,” Mu Qiqi said to Lu Qianqian.

Since Gu Ziling had arrived, Mu Qiqi as the wife of the CEO if Zhongteng was surely the most anticipated one. After seeing how gorgeous and luxurious Gu Ziling’s outfit was, people were curious how Mu Qiqi would surpass her.

However, when Mu Qiqi walked on the red carpet, the media was startled. Apart from a pair of earrings, Mu Qiqi did not wear any other accessories. Her outfit was just ordinary. There was nothing special about it. But weird enough, Mu Qiqi still looked very attractive. Perhaps, it was because of her age.

Besides, Zhongteng was keeping a low profile now.

Just because of this, the outsiders were even more interested in Zhongteng and Sheng Xiao. They knew that real rich men would never show off, but their eyes would show great confidence, as if telling you they were fearless.
