Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 88 - : A Fake Is Still A Fake



Chapter 88: A Fake Is Still A Fake

She immediately let go of the man’s arm and said with a cold face, “Don’t worry. Even if I offend the Meng family, I’ll cut all ties with you. I won’t drag the Gu family into this, nor will I ruin the relationship between the Gu family and the Meng family.”

Gu Zheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He was very angry but did not know what to do with this woman.

The Meng family displayed ‘Time Flows’ in the most eye-catching position so that all the guests could see it. Qiao Xi stared at the dress for a while before grinning.

“Gu Zheng, you have to understand that designers hate knockoffs the most. Because that’s tantamount to trampling on the hard work of a designer.”

While she was talking to Gu Zheng, Madam Meng walked over with a group of noblewomen.

Madam Meng had an apologetic expression on her face. She was gentle, generous, and appropriate. “Gu Zheng, Xi Xi, you’re here.” She was like a gentle elder, pretending as if there had never been any conflict between them. Her ability to put on an act was really admirable.

If she had not forcefully squeezed between Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng, it would have been even more admirable.

After Madam Meng separated Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng, she said with a smile, “Xi Xi, I heard about what happened just now. Wan Wan was insensible and caused you trouble. I’m really sorry.”

She pulled Qiao Xi over and introduced her to the others. “This is Qiao Xi, a junior whom I admire very much. I specially invited her over today as well. Qiao Xi, didn’t you say you wanted to see ‘Time Flows’? It’s right there, I’ll bring you over.”

Qiao Xi narrowed her eyes. One who was unaccountably solicitous was hiding evil intentions!

She wanted to see what kind of evil ideas this Madam Meng had!

Qiao Xi chuckled and followed Madam Meng to where ‘Time Flows’ was being displayed. There were already quite a number of people surrounding it. It was very difficult for ordinary people to possess a regular piece by Gu Shan, let something like ‘Time Flows’. Being able to possess an item like this was not only a symbol of money but also a manifestation of one’s status.

“Miss Meng, I heard that ‘Time Flows’ was bought by a mysterious person for 800 million yuan. From the looks of it, that mysterious person is from the Meng family.”

“‘Time Flows’ is indeed a custom-made and unique gown. The design is really impressive. It’s truly a feast for the eyes…”

Meng Wan stood in the middle of the crowd and listened to their compliments. She could not help but be proud of herself. She was still the smartest. A replica could attract so much attention for the Meng family.

When Meng Wan saw her mother and Qiao Xi walking over, she adjusted the smile on her face and walked over elegantly. “Miss Qiao, it was my fault what happened just now. You won’t be angry with me, right?”

These two were indeed mother and daughter. Their words were exactly the same.

Madam Meng tapped Meng Wan’s forehead. “Say, you’re too much. Xi Xi likes Master Gu Shan’s design, and you’re very familiar with Xi Xi. So what if you let her in? You’re usually quite a smart person, but you became muddle-headed and started following the rules so stringently instead.”

Meng Wan quickly acted pampered. “Mom, don’t lecture me. I was just too agitated. Fortunately, Xi Xi isn’t angry with me. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

With just a few words, they blamed everything that had happened at the door on their insensitivity. They said they were too anxious and made the wrong decision. They immediately clarified the matter about Meng Wan deliberately stopping me.

How impressive.

“Sigh, you child.” Madam Meng pretended to be helpless. “Xi Xi, it’s all my fault. If I had known that you were coming, I would’ve gone out to welcome you myself.”

If it were not for the fact that the timing and location were not right, Qiao Xi really wanted to give the two of them a round of applause. Their acting skills were superb.

The enemy’s acting skills were so powerful, so of course, she could not fall behind. Hence, she chuckled and said, “It’s okay, I understand. It seems that Miss Meng values ‘Time Flows’ a lot since this banquet is very important to you.”

Meng Wan’s gaze flashed as she grabbed Qiao Xi’s wrist. “Of course. ‘Time Flows’ is the piece Gu Shan is most proud of. I heard you like it a lot too, right? Come, I’ll bring you to take a closer look.”

When the people around saw Meng Wan approaching, they all tactfully moved aside. Qiao Xi had wanted to take a closer look at the high-quality imitation of ‘Time Flows’ since a long time ago. It had to be said that this high-quality imitation was indeed high-quality. However, although the overall imitation was very similar to ‘Time Flows’, a fake was still a fake. The fabric was wrong, the embroidery was wrong, the pearls were wrong, and even the angle of the neckline was wrong.

How did the Meng family have the cheek to display such a defective product? Or did they think that the dress she designed was of this standard? It was too insulting.
