I Am A Prodigy - Chapter 220
Chapter 220: Breathtaking Beauty
Chen Xiaoyan’s feet were stuck to the ground, at a loss on how to react.
She had thought of the consequences before, but she never expected it to be that severe.
Being thrown off the stage midway was equivalent to dragging her name through the mud. How would she stand in front of others in the future?
The big shots below the stage were either big bosses or rich young masters. They have seen plenty of celebrities and did not think much of them. Therefore, they would not be cordial with Chen Xiaoyan. With that kind of influence, they could throw her off the stage immediately!
Looking at Chen Xiaoyan’s pathetic state, Hong Na immediately burst out laughing. This time, she crushed Chen Xiaoyan completely. Furthermore, she was confident that she could start a trend using various media platforms to ensure Chen Xiaoyan would never recover after this incident!
“I request not to share a stage with Chen Xiaoyan!” Hong Na announced clearly on the stage, her expression stern. “This is an insult to both the fashion show and to the clothing itself!”
In one sentence, she managed to propel herself upwards by stepping over Chen Xiaoyan.
Ye Lingchen sat right at the front. He looked at Chen Xiaoyan with her head hung low, her long hair blocking her facial expression from scrutiny. One could only see her shoulders shaking occasionally.
“Grandmaster Jia, I would like to request for your help,” Ye Lingchen told Jia Di all of a sudden.
“Young Master Ye, just tell me what you need,” Jia Di replied.
“The new style of clothing that I had you design is tailored specifically for that girl on the stage,” Ye Lingchen spoke softly, “and it’s about time to return it to the owner…”
Jia Di was stunned for a moment, then turned over to look at Chen Xiaoyan on the stage.
At that time, Chen Xiaoyan was obviously on the brink of a breakdown. She was prepared to quietly leave the stage.
“Miss Chen Xiaoyan, please wait!”
The sudden voice caught everyone by surprise. Following that, they saw Jia Di slowly standing up with a smile.
Jia Di was one of the VVIPs present. For him to stand up personally…could it be that Chen Xiaoyan’s actions angered him?
It must be!
Jia Di was Vatti’s lead designer, known for being critical on clothing. Chen Xiaoyan’s ignorance on the stage was a slap on the faces for the big shots present. It was natural for Jia Di to be angered.
Backstage, many participating celebrities had their attention focused on the stage as well, eager for the conclusion of Chen Xiaoyan’s debacle.
“Wow, that’s Jia Di! He’s so tasteful!”
“If Jia Di picks me, I will offer myself to him!”
“He’s the lead designer for Vatti. Definitely a big shot. Even the morsels that he drops would be sufficient for our entire life!”
“Chen Xiaoyan is done for. What do you think Grandmaster Jia would do to her?”
However, they saw Jia Di taking strides towards the stage.
Seeing Jia Di’s approach, signs of fear crept into Chen Xiaoyan’s eyes while Hong Na was flushed with excitement.
Hong Na could not help but straightened herself then tried to present her body and expression the best she could. Her eyes locked onto Jia Di, playing through a myriad of possibilities within her mind.
To her mind, Jia Di was walking towards her.
Grandmaster Jia must be interested in her nice body and classy presence, hoping to have her be the spokesperson for Vatti. When that time comes, her popularity would soar. Along with the spokesperson fee, she might go through a second peak in her career!
She picked on Chen Xiaoyan because Chen Xiaoyan’s youth, popularity, and potential were all above hers. Due to that, she was envious and hateful!
Why did Chen Xiaoyan deserve to have it all? It was supposed to be hers!
Soon, Jia Di was already in front of Hong Na, who had practiced the conversation in her mind. She put on a smile, then opened her mouth trying to greet him.
However, Jia Di did not even look at her, walking straight past her and arrived in front of Chen XIaoyan.
The next instant, he nodded courteously at Chen Xiaoyan, and with a light smile, said, “Lady Chen, I’m sorry. That was due to our negligence. Your clothing has arrived.”
‘Hm?’
Everyone was stunned.
Hong Na stared at Chen Xiaoyan, her eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. Her mind was ringing, unable to believe her ears.
‘Hallucination. This must be a hallucination!’
Her expression was livid, almost grinding her teeth to dust.
Following that, Jia Di gave a wave. The emcee dared not delay and immediately passed the mic over.
“Actually, Miss Chen is the spokesperson for Vatti. It was due to our negligence that the clothing came late. Now, I would like to have Miss Chen take a trip backstage for a change of clothes and come back on stage,” Jia Di announced to all.
It was not hard to tell from his tone that he was protecting Chen Xiaoyan!
“Hehe, here I was wondering why there were no clothes from Vatti on the stage. So that’s what happened. I agree with Grandmaster Jia’s decision!” someone stood and said.
“So we misunderstood Miss Chen.”
“Hahaha. I can’t wait to see Grandmaster Jia’s design. I believe it will be eye-catching.”
“Get changed quickly. Miss Chen’s looks and grace are top class. Definitely a beauty.”
Under Jia Di’s influence, everyone could only agree.
Right then, several young women respectfully led Chen Xiaoyan off to the backstage to change.
On the stage, Hong Na was left alone.
Everything was paused at that moment and nobody told Hong Na, nor did she dared to leave the stage. She could only stand awkwardly on the stage, waiting for Chen Xiaoyan.
She had a livid and pale expression on her which contorted her face, causing it to scrounge up—forming an ugly look.
Why? Why did that happen?!
That sudden contrast almost drove her nuts. If not for her self control, she would have walked up to Jia Di and questioned him about why Chen Xiaoyan had such preferential treatment!
For a full ten minutes, Hong Na dared not move. She even had to force a smile to play along.
“Next, let’s have Chen Xiaoyan take the stage once again!”
As the emcee announced, the applause that had never been heard before this finally appeared.
These big shots were actually applauding for a celebrity!
Nonetheless, the very next moment, the applause disappeared instantly. Time seemed to have stopped!
Everyone looked at the direction Chen Xiaoyan walked out from, caught in a daze.
Chen Xiaoyan wore an aqua blue flowing dress.
A flowing dress that reached the floor, matched with an aqua blue pair of heels made her look like an elegant daffodil that was untainted by silt.
A great deal of effort and attention was put into the cutting of that evening gown.
An ethereal layer of muslin wrapped around the silk fabric.
Along with her every step, the muslin around her fluttered about lightly.
Although her appearance was unclear from the distance, her slender waist and the breathtaking view at the back of her shoulders were clearly seen.
At that moment, all of Chen Xiaoyan’s charms were fully showcased and accentuated to its finest.
Within a crowd of “sirens” that were trying to gain garner attention from the crowd, Chen Xiaoyan took everyone’s breath away.
