Vase cannon fodder is pampered by the group again

Chapter 69.3

Editor: Princess

“Mrs. Yang, what were you just saying? It sounded vaguely like nothing good.” The charming woman at the front crossed her arms and turned back, asking coldly.

Mrs. Yang raised her eyebrows charmingly: “Oh, Miss Xu, someone from a big family like you has also learned to eavesdrop? Isn’t that embarrassing?”

Miss Xu laughed coldly: “With dogs bark so loudly, can you blame me for having good ears?”

“You!” Mrs. Yang was so angry sh didn’t know what to say for a while.

Yang Yan’s face turned ugly, but she didn’t dare make a sound.

The three wealthy ladies in front of them were all from families much larger and more powerful than the Yang family. They absolutely couldn’t be easily provoked.

But if she married Lu Xiao… which of these families wouldn’t be at the mercy of her, Mrs. Lu?

Yang Yan swallowed the grievance and suppressed anger in her eyes, becoming even more determined to win Lu Xiao.

Miss Xu laughed sarcastically: “The mother is shameless, and unexpectedly the daughter learned the same way! The Yang family’s dirty business would dirty my mouth just talking about it.”

“Exactly, they don’t even look in the mirror. Can you two compare to even one strand of our cub’s hair? Truly ugly people causing more trouble.”

“Let’s not even talk about whether President Lu would notice you. If our cub really likes him, we’d fight to snatch him over! Hmph!”

“Alright, alright, the little girl is already crying. Don’t make the old one cry too. With such thick foundation, it would look really ugly if it got smeared.”

Miss Xu linked arms with her sisters. Before turning to leave, she laughed airily: “I’m warning you, if you dare make our cub sad… it won’t be something that can be settled with just bankruptcy or prison time. Then you’ll really get to experience the sinister side of human nature~”

The three close friends walked away arm in arm, leaving only the mother and daughter who had been thoroughly humiliated, standing there with teeth clenched and faces iron-blue.

“I absolutely refuse to believe I can’t seduce Lu Xiao! Xiao Yan, stop crying. Let’s go!”

The hotel had specially set up a dressing room for Shen Ci which was spacious and bright.

Min Shoubei had already informed Shen Ci that tonight he had specifically found a stylist to help with styling. When Shen Ci asked, he learned it was an internationally renowned stylist…

Shen Ci often saw him in various fashion magazines. He was the man behind many top-tier stars, flying between different red carpets every day, a very busy person.

This made Shen Ci feel flattered. From entering the door to sitting in front of the makeup mirror, he was trembling with nervousness.

As a result, when the stylist arrived, he immediately began shouting dramatically while circling around him.

“This skin, it lives up to its reputation.” The stylist pinched his cheek, even pressing and bouncing it with his fingers gently while clicking his tongue in amazement: “Water could practically be squeezed out. So purely natural.”

Shen Ci was pinched until it hurt, but he didn’t dare speak.

“Wow, so white and tender you can’t even see a single pore. So delicate!”

“These lips are also plump and glossy. These fat lip pearls are too sexy! Pure yet seductive!”

“Oh my goodness, these deer eyes, so moist like they’re filled with little stars. So beautiful!”

“…” Shen Ci suspected he had been pinched until tears formed from the pain.

“Why use makeup when you’re this good-looking?” The stylist declared boldly: “Go directly!”

Shen Ci: ???

He thought he was exaggerating and joking, but the stylist really closed his makeup kit and told him to hurry and change into the formal wear.

“Formal wear?” Shen Ci was confused. Wasn’t this something the stylist prepared?

The stylist was stunned: “Your dad said to bring your own.”

“It’s with me.” Lu Xiao spoke faintly as someone knocked on the dressing room door.

Special Assistant Min entered holding a white formal suit jacket, followed by several of Lu Xiao’s assistants, all carefully carrying shirts, pants, and other clothing, afraid of wrinkling the expensive custom formal wear.

“Sorry boss, we’re late.” Special Assistant Min bowed his head apologetically.

“Perfect timing!” The stylist went to get the clothing happily. However after taking a careful look, he suddenly shouted in amazement: “This logo is—formal wear designed by Master Haobot? My god, my former boss made appointments for half a year and still couldn’t get in line. This this this…”

The stylist was so excited he became incoherent, his eyes glued to it and completely unable to move away: “Damn, you definitely can’t get this without several million. No no no, this is a priceless treasure…”

Shen Ci had also heard of Haobot’s reputation, the founder of a certain luxury brand who personally designed no more than three formal suits per year. And the finished products were unique worldwide.

People who could successfully make appointments for custom pieces, unless they had extreme status, basically relied on pure luck.

Many big-name celebrities made appointments for seven or eight years and never got one even after becoming irrelevant.

Ordinary wealthy families, if they occasionally obtained one set, would treasure it as a collection.

For this haute couture formal wear, Lu Xiao must have put in tremendous effort, yet he gave it to him so casually.

Shen Ci was very moved, but he still had one question: “How do you know my measurements?”

Lu Xiao’s eyes curved upward. He innocently extended his large palm, pursing his lips while smiling and slightly gesturing toward Shen Ci.

Everyone in the room didn’t understand, except for Shen Ci.

Shen Ci’s face immediately flushed red. He grabbed the shirt hurriedly and headed to the fitting room, not daring to look at Lu Xiao. The gratitude he had just felt immediately dissipated by half.

This big rogue… his meaning was that he had memorized the measurements by touching with his hands!

The Min family and Shen family had arrived at the venue early to receive guests. Those who had received invitations had mostly arrived.

Celebrities gathered, everyone dressed exquisitely and particular. Seeing that the banquet hadn’t officially started yet, they began spontaneously networking, seeking out people they wanted to meet for conversation.

“The Shen family… ah no, the Min family’s young master really has good fortune.”

“Absolutely, with such capable family members. I heard Lu Xiao is also pursuing him?”

“Oh my, worthy of being President Lu. With such a good-looking face, screwing him must feel amazing, tsk tsk…”

“Shh, you can’t let those women hear this. They protect Shen Ci fiercely!”

“Just joking around. Ah, when is this beautiful young master coming? At least let us feast our eyes.”

The side door of the banquet hall clicked open as a waiter pushed open the tall, luxuriously styled wooden door.

Many curious, investigating gazes all turned over. Tonight’s protagonist Shen Ci finally arrived at the scene, walking into the hall side by side with Lu Xiao.

The noisy sounds in the banquet hall began to fade as the entire venue gradually fell silent.
