Rebirth from the Ashes - Chapter 235

Chapter 235: No Room For Error

Gong Zhi had no idea what the beef between the girl and Li Jingran was, nor was she the kind to poke around. However, Gong Zhi was in favor of the act of delivering a crushing blow to the enemy.

Shen Xi looked at Fu Qingye with soft and expectant eyes sans the aggression, seeking to be praised. Fu Qingye cheerfully answered, “You look good.”

He loved it when she acted cute, coy, and cheeky with him. He enjoyed her sharing all her joys and sorrows with him.

So, this was what it felt like to have a sister. Fu Qingye wanted to give her all the best things in the world and allow her to do whatever her heart desired.

Shen Xi broke into a smile and her eyes sparkled like stars. Flattery was a two-way street. “Qingye, you’re the most handsome guy and I’m sure no one can beat you on the red carpet.”

“It’s all thanks to Ms. Cai Ni.” Fu Qingye smiled dotingly.

“You’re too polite, Mr. Fu. As the Adonis that you are, you’re the showstopper even if you have a sack over you. I merely put icing on the cake.” Shen Xi grinned.

Gong Zhi concurred. Anything a real looker wore looked good and this was an irrefutable truth.

She looked at the pair with delight and following the warning by Fu Qingye, she changed her attitude and no longer had her mind in the gutter when staring at them both.

Between the pair before her, one was a hunk while the other was a knockout. Good-looking people shared certain similarities and had their own strong points that were simply easy on the eye.

Gong Zhi was ashamed as the pair looked at each other with pure and clean eyes that showed no hint of coquetry. What was she thinking to ship them as a couple when what they had was strictly siblinghood?

“Feathered Prism Illusion Dress” was borrowed by Fu Qingye a week ago, and was air-transported back overnight since last night and arrived an hour ago.

Since Shen Xi did not take the cold kindly, she added an oversized down jacket on top of her gown before taking off together with Fu Qingye and Gong Zhi.

Li Jingran was one step behind and reached the hotel entrance when their cars left one after another. With somber eyes, she enquired Li He in hushed tones. “Did you find out what I asked of you?”

Wanwan called her and informed her that Shen Xi had taken off from school to walk the red carpet. She also asked whether the organizer had invited Shen Xi.

What right did Shen Xi, the d*mn brat, had to walk the red carpet? Was she famous or had work under her belt? Surely, she only said it to get on Wanwan’s nerves.

“Don’t worry. I got someone on the inside to get the red carpet list. She’s not on the list.” Li He consoled Li Jingran. “She’s probably going around with Mr. Fu and Gong Zhi to ask for the celebrities’ autographs.”

There were many girls who, being avid fans, would ask for a picture and autograph from celebrities. It was something to boast about and gain respect from fellow peers.

Despite all the assurance, Li Jingran had an uneasy feeling. She asked further, “Are you sure about the gown?”

There could not be any room for error for her red carpet moment tonight.

Looking sullen, Li He nodded. “The person who borrowed the gown is wearing the “Feathered Prism Illusion Dress” at the royal banquet as we speak.”

Li Jingran frowned. “What about Jiang Yin and her student?”

Li He grinned. “Jiang Yin and her student are on the list but Jiang Yin and Cai Ni are occupied in Milan. There’s a fashion show for the spring collection there and that’s only going to end tomorrow.”

Feeling at ease, Li Jingran got into the car. As long as Jiang Yin and Cai Ni were not around, no one would know the “Feathered Prism Illusion Dress” was the real deal or a counterfeit. Everything remained in her control.
