This statement struck a sore spot. She had the advantage of good skin and a petite, elegant figure. However, her eyes were very small. She’d gained recognition in the industry by playing the role of the sweet, naive girl in an idol drama.

However, her choice of outfit for today’s occasion was a complete mismatch for her temperament. It was a strapless dress adorned with fringes and a long train which clung to her hips. The ensemble simply did not complement her stature. She had to wear towering waterproof heels for a semblance of stability.

The only standout was the diamond necklace gracing her chest.

The necklace held some weight. A large diamond encircled by a ring of smaller ones. It was all set in platinum and cast a dazzling radiance.

As Li Yan noticed Luo Yings gaze on the necklace, she proudly straightened her posture.

“You’ve never seen it before, right? M/ell, today is your chance. This is the work of the American jewelry master, Horace. There’s only one of these globally. This one was specially sponsored by President Wang of Earl Jewelry. Take a look at yourself. Do you have anything as valuable?” Li Yan’s expression was haughty.

Luo Ying stifled a smile. Only those hounded by insecurities would boast. Li Yan’s eagerness to flaunt probably indicated a weak backing.

“The necklace is exquisite, but it’s wated on you,” Luo Ying teased her.

“You…” Li Yan was not particularly well-read. In her desperation, she didn’t know how to retort to Luo Ying. She resorted to wanting to physically lash out.

“You wretched woman, I’m going to end you,” Li Yan clenched her teeth.

“Whom are you planning to end?” A magnetic voice chimed in from behind.

Lu Zhao glanced at Luo Ying with affection before turning his gaze coldly towards Li Yan.

Li Yan covered her mouth in surprise. “You, you’re Lu Zhao?”

Lu Zhao had taken Luo Yings advice today. To avoid drawing excessive attention, he wore a clean white t-shirt and a pair of gray linen cotton sweatpants and as a result, he emanated youthful vigor.

Li Yan’s excitement was evident; the memory of their heated exchange just moments ago caused her cheeks to turn red.

She approached Lu Zhao with a coquettish smile and asked shyly, “Brother Lu Zhao, why did you come today? Are you here to watch my performance?” “Brother Lu Zhao.” Luo Ying almost wanted to retch.

Lu Zhao frowned and wondered why this woman exuded such misplaced confidence. He was here to support his wife, not deal with this.

Lu Zhao’s gaze wandered to the necklace hanging around Li Yan’s neck.

“Brother Lu Zhao, do you also like this necklace?” Li Yan raised her head.

“This seems to be sponsored by Earl Jewelry,” Lu Zhao responded with an unwavering tone,

Though he might not know much about women’s fashion, his time with Luo Ying had taught him that the dress meant nothing without this necklace.

Li Yan appeared taken aback. “Yes, exactly. It’s sponsored by Earl Jewelry.

Brother Lu Zhao, you’re quite well-informed.”

Lu Zhao made a quick call and ended it in less than a minute.

“Make sure to take a good look, my wife is right here,” Lu Zhao declared as he walked toward Luo Ying. She held onto his hand while brimming with happiness and headed towards the waiting area.

Li Yan stomped her feet. Just then, her manager rushed over while looking frantic.

“Somethings gone wrong, Sister Yan.”

Li Yan rolled her eyes at him. Her voice was tinged with exasperation. “Why are you so flustered?”

“Just now, the sponsor from Earl Jewelry called. They won’t allow you to wear their necklace anymore; they want it returned immediately,” the manager said breathlessly.

“What?” Li Yan was shocked. “How’s that possible? The sponsorship was already settled, and we’ve even paid up.”

“It seems like President Lu of Luya Group did something…” the manager whispered.

Only then did Li Yan realize that Lu Zhao’s recent call had been to Earl Jewelry.

“What should we do? Without the necklace, this dress can’t hold the stage at all,” Li Yan fretted as her anxiety sent her to the brink of tears.

At that moment, the host’s voice came from the front.

“It’s too late, Sister Yan. Hand over the necklace and get ready to go on stage,”the manager instructed.

Li Yan resignedly removed her necklace and entered the waiting room. Her expression was a picture of discontent.

The first to step onto the stage was Luo Ying.

As the curtains parted, a wave of excitement surged through the audience.

“Oh my, did a goddess just walk up the stage?”

“Luo Ying has undergone such a transformation. Her aura is absolutely captivating.”

“Her presence is overpowering.”

Lu Zhao sat up straight among the audience. Pride filled him as he listened to the compliments showered upon Luo Ying.

Luo Yings show began and prompted another wave of exclamations from the crowd.

She exuded confidence on stage. Along with her striking makeup today, she looked like she had walked right out of a painting..
