Chapter 158 - A Secret Revealed

Days had continued to pass and the two weeks' time became one week.

Three dresses that would be the main event for IAmFashionista came to Xiong De's mansion.

Xiong Wuyue was so excited and keep jumping while waiting for the staff to put down the most treasured dresses for the event.

It was carefully wrapped by layers of bubble wrap. 

The staff was putting the extravagant and the most expensive dresses of the year in Xiong Wuyue's bed.

The moment it was put down Xiong Wuyue quickly went to the dresses and touched it like it was the most amazing thing in the world.

The staff who saw it flinched by Xiong Wuyue's way of grabbing the clothes. The staff put his all effort into carefully not make any crease on the dress. These would be the most expensive dresses of the year. It might cost a million, ten million, or a hundred million. It would depend on those crazy rich people on how they want to spend money on it.

So since these dresses were like a blank check* the staff was very nervous that Xiong Wuyue might leave some damage to it.

So the staff spoke.

"Young miss, these are the dresses that Mr. Cang personally thread from inside and out. Please be careful about it. "

Xiong Wuyue's happy face became irritated one she heard the staff words.

"Who do you think you are to scold me? Of course, I will handle it with care. I will be the first one to wear this." 

Xiong Wuyue then smiled thinking how great she would be once these dresses that personally designed and thread by the famous Mr. Cang, the host of IAmFashionista, wore on her perfect body.

She imagined how she would steal all the man's heart on that day. She wishes that day would quickly come.

She looked at the dresses. They were all gorgeous. 

The first one was a backless dress with the concept of the night sky. There were sparkling diamonds the serve as the stars. The diamonds were crushed and used as glitters. Because of the crashed diamond, the dress looked silver from afar. One speck of the diamonds already cost a hundred dollar. What if they all gathered? How many carats it would be? Xiong Wuyue could not imagine how this dress cost just to make it. If it put in the event it would cost more. She suppressed her greedy heart. And check the next one.

This tube dress was a white dress because of the white pearls on the chest area and on the edges of the dresses. The white pearls were small and threaded to dress in a very precise manner. Under the light, the dress sparkled in some areas making the one who would wear it would be a part of a fantasy world. It was so gorgeous. Xiong Wuyue wondered how much each pearl cost.

Then she proceeds to check the last one.

Xiong Wuyue could not help but gasped when she held the last one.

It was a golden dress. 

No. To be precise it was a rose gold dress. The reason why it was a golden dress because the thread that was used was glittering like gold. Mr. Cang was a designer who put all money in a dress. That's why he becomes a figurehead in fashion and was chosen as the host of IAmFashionista. So since it was Mr. Cang, Xiong Wuyue guessed that the threads were soaked in genuine gold that was liquified.

The reason why it was a rose gold dress was because of the crushed red rubies that were sparked together with the golden thread.

This dress was above knee and showed her cleavage. 

It very matched her taste.

Xiong Wuyue licked her lips. 

She wants this dress! She really wants it!

Too bad, she could not own it. Even she spent millions in this dress she could not buy it since she was not part of the auction. 

Bit she really wants it. She needs to think of a way to own it! If his father was invited she could ask him to compete for this dress no matter what the cost is.

But then she cheered up thinking again that she would be the first one to wear all of this dress.

Such honor.

Xiong Wuyue squealed again. She liked to try the dresses now.

However, a knock on the door interrupted her sweet time. 

"Young miss, the master is calling you to his study." A maids voice sounded.

Xiong Wuyue hugs the dresses first and took a sniff of it. After a while, she got up and went to the door. But before she leaves she turned to the staff first.

"Don't wrap it up yet. I'll check the measurements of it later. Just wait here."

The staff sighed heavily. These three dresses were not supposed to be here today.

If it's the damage it would cause a ruckus not only from Mr. Cang but from the whole event. But they could not decline the model of the year. Not only Xiong Wuyue was a model, but she also had a great backing of an empire.

In Xiong De's study, the father-daughter duo was discussing the preparation for the event.

"I'm really proud of you my daughter. Here, don't forget to talk to these people. " Xiong De hand a file to Xiong Wuyue.

Xiong Wuyue harrumphed and did not reach for the file.

"I don't like to read boring files. Just tell it to my assistant and she will brief me about it. But Dad.." Xiong Wuyue then hugs Xiong De's arm.

"Dad, you think Wuyue'er is doing a great job right?" 

"Of course. My daughter is the best."

Xiong De agreed with her daughter. When her daughter was acting like this Xiong De knew her daughter was asking for something. It turns out his gut was right.

"Then Dad, Wuyue must receive a gift right?"

Xiong De loves his daughter so much. So he was willing to act along with her and spoil her.

"Of course. Anything that Wuyu'er wants. I'll give it to you."

Xiong Wuyue was waiting for this. She smiled happily like a child she was.

"Dad, you see, one of the dresses from Mr. Cang arrived today. There is a dress that I know will only fit to me. It is very beautiful! I felt like it was created just for me. I want it so badly, dad. I know Dad has many ways to get it. So get it for me please." Xiong Wuyue acted like a child asking for candy.

But it wasn't a normal candy. When Xiong De heard 'a dress from Mr. Cang' he knew it was one of the main products of the event. Her daughter has a big appetite so he knew the dress would be the most expensive one.

He thought about it. Money was not a problem. But the problem was how he would compete to those people when he was not there?

Then he suddenly remembered someone from the black market that could help him. Xiong De has a lot of connections and he was famous in the underground world. Since he has wide connections, he heard that man got invited. He could make a deal with that person.

"Alright. I know of a person. I will make sure that he will buy that for you." 

"I know that Dad is the best!" Xiong Wuyue squealed.

That dress. That golden rose dress. It was hers. 

"I will wear it for my birthday. "

Even though her birthday was still far, Xiong Wuye was already imagining it because of the dress.

*****

In a dim car, butler Huo received a call. When he saw the name of the caller he immediately gave it to the man beside him.

Lu Jin who was initially reading the file pressed the answer button.

"Hey. In what name are you going?" It was Guan Gao Huan on the other line.

Lu Jin who was familiar with Guan Gao Huan knew what Gao Huan was talking about.

"My name." Lu Jin was still reading the file while talking to the phone. 

"Oh. Your father got you a seat. Guess, will I have a seat or not?" Gao Huan's voice was playful. Gao Huan was like this every time he talked to Lu Jin.

"I don't care." Even though Lu Jin said that. He knew what happened base on those hints from Gao Huan's words and his tone.

Gao Huan might have schemed again to take away the seat from his brother that was given by their grandfather.

"Hahaha. I bet you know. I got a seat."

"..." Lu Jin did not answer. 

"Don't worry, he can still walk haha. "

Lu Jin furrowed his brow. His friend just called him to talked this nonsense?

"I'm not worried."

"I know. Well, see you next week." Guan Gao Huan sound happy.

Lu Jin suddenly speaks.

"I just found something interesting."

Lu Jin's eyes were still in the file.

Guan Gao Huan was silent for a moment.

It was rare for Lu Jin to say the word, 'interesting'. But the words 'I just found something' was referring to confidential information that he might not know. And the fact the Lu Jin was telling it to him might be related to him.

Guan Gao Huan smiled. If Lu Jin could figure him out, then he could also figure him out.

"How much?" Gao Huan asked. His friend Lu Jin was really strict about money. He would suck people dry. 

"Not selling." Lu Jin held back his smirk. The meaning of his words was the information could not buy with money.

Gao Huan frowned. The information seemed very important. But then he remembered that he got scammed by Lu Jin a few months ago.

"Ha. You're doing it again." Gao Huan faked a laugh.

"Think about what you seem fit." Lu Jin was about to end the call when Gao Huan stopped him.

"Wait. I'll find some info worth to trade yours." 

Lu Jin finally let go of his smirk.

"Alright. I'll wait until next week."

The call ended.

Lu Jin stared at the paper in his hands. He read again the report on his mind.

'..the young miss is the owner of IHZHI..'

"Impressive. " Lu Jin blurted out these words.
