Chapter 349: It’d Be Awkward For The Uglier One
The black color wrapped around her skin, making it look as white as if it was immersed in cold moonlight.
Mufeng looked at the photo and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a gentle arc.
He saved the photo and replied, [It’s very nice.]
Mufeng: [Do you like it?]
[Of course!] Jiang Xun replied. [It’s much better than the one the stylist borrowed for me!]

However, in the backstage lounge of the grand ceremony.
Youlan was wearing a C brand long white dress. In order to match the lace style of the long dress, it was specially made into a “knight era” retro style, and she had a feather-shaped hairpin with a diamond on it.
Xiaoxiao was accompanying Youlan, following her everywhere.
She sat next to Youlan and scrolled through the red carpet photos posted by the studios of the artistes who were attending the ceremony.
Basically, all the studios had posted except for Jiang Xun’s.
“Sister Youlan, Jiang Xun hasn’t posted her photos yet,” Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
Youlan sneered. “She has to have the face to do it after all.”
“Yup,” Xiaoxiao pouted gloatingly and put on a mean look. “Although the two of you have similar styles, yours is from C brand. The K brand that Jiang Xun is wearing is like a counterfeit when compared to C brand. Anyone who sees it will think that Jiang Xun was deliberately imitating you, but she didn’t have the ability to borrow clothes from C brand, so she could only pick something similar from those small brands.”
Youlan smirked smugly. Wasn’t this the reason why she had asked about Jiang Xun’s style?
When the press release was released, it would be said that Jiang Xun deliberately imitated her and wore the same clothes as her.
“One of them is wearing a dress from a high-end luxury brand, while the other is wearing one from a low-end brand.” Xiaoxiao curled her lips. “Jiang Xun, just wait to be embarrassed!”
“What time is it now?” Youlan asked.
Xiaoxiao glanced at her phone and said, half past three.
Youlan frowned and looked unhappy. She put on a mean expression and even squeezed out her smile lines. “Why isn’t Jiang Xun here yet? She can’t be thinking that she can come late for Feng Videos’ red carpet, and they’ll push her spot back, right?”
“They’re on their way,” Xiaoxiao said. “She should be here soon.”
“How do you know?” Youlan asked.
“I saw the Weibo post from her assistant, Yao Xin’an.” Xiaoxiao showed her phone to Youlan. “She said they’re on their way.”
Youlan lowered her head and saw that Xin’an had only posted a selfie. Jiang Xun’s outfit were nowhere to be seen.
Xin’an: [Our Jiang Jiang is so beautiful today! I’m looking forward to it!]
Jiang Xun’s fans all knew that Xin’an was Jiang Xun’s assistant, so they followed her as well.
Eating Jiang:[An’an, why hasn’t the studio released Jiang Jiang’s red carpet photos yet?]
Spicy JJ: [Sob sob sob. Hurry up and send it to us. Let us see.]
Xin’an replied Eating Jiang: [Let’s keep it a secret for now. Just watch the livestream on the red carpet. It’ll give you guys a super big surprise!]
Xin’an replied Spicy JJ: [If we post it now, it’s going to destroy the surprise!]
Youlan sneered. “You still want to keep it a secret? What secret is there to keep about Jiang Xun’s K brand clothes? Will Jiang Xun wear flowers?”
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. “Jiang Xun and the others might think it’s pretty. After all, Jiang Xun has never attended such a serious ceremony before. She has only attended the Shanpin’s Influencer Day, which was attended by influencers. How can it compare to this? This is full of celebrities and not some random red carpet. During Shanpin’s Influencer Day red carpet, those influencers were all dressed in tacky clothes. It’s Jiang Xun’s first time attending such a grand ceremony. She borrowed K brand clothes and wore them in a way that she had never worn before. They should already be very surprised.”
Youlan sneered and said, “I’ll go find her when she gets here. You take the opportunity to take photos of us standing together. Later, we’ll release a statement saying that we’re wearing the same outfit.”
It wasn’t scary to wear the same clothes, but whoever was of a lower class would feel awkward.
“Understood.” Xiaoxiao held her phone and nodded. She was always ready.
After a while, a staff member’s voice could be heard from the door. “Teacher Jiang, this way please. You can rest for a while. There are drinks and snacks at the buffet table.”
Hearing that, Youlan gave Xiaoxiao a look.
Xiaoxiao understood in a second and quickly opened the camera function.
Youlan got up with a smile and went to look for Jiang Xun, but she was stunned when she saw Jiang Xun.
Wasn’t Jiang Xun wearing the K brand white dress?
Why did it change to black?
And it was so gorgeous!
As it was a super-seasonal designer from ES, it had not been publicly displayed.
Youlan really couldn’t tell that it was an ES dress.
Just by looking at the workmanship and cutting, one would know that it was definitely not something that could be made by the likes of K brand.
Even C brand that she was wearing probably didn’t have such standards.
Moreover, she had never seen C brand sell this style.
From the design style, it looked like ES.
But how could Jiang Xun wear ES’s dress?
She remembered ES’s ready-made clothes and the past season’s haute couture. She had wanted to borrow ES’ haute couture from them more than once, but she had not been able to do so.
She couldn’t even borrow ones from the previous seasons.
The only time she managed to borrow some ready-made outfits was when she went to an International Film Festival.
And she had only managed to borrow it once.
If she had not seen Jiang Xun’s outfit before, it could only mean it was a super-seasonal haute couture or even a style that had not yet appeared.
But was that possible!
Even if Jiang Xun wanted to buy it, ES would not sell it to her.
Youlan firmly denied it in her heart. This definitely wasn’t ES’s clothes. It could only be an imitation.
Youlan didn’t want to talk to Jiang Xun anymore.
She turned around and was about to leave when she heard Jiang Xun call her, “Teacher Su.”
Jiang Xun walked over.
There were many reporters in the venue who took pictures.
When the two of them stood together, the contrast between the black and white was too good.
However, Youlan’s white dress looked plain and boring in comparison to Jiang Xun’s black dress.
“Jiang Xun.” With the cameras around, Youlan could only force a smile.
She really wanted to know why Jiang Xun had suddenly changed her clothes!
Could it be that the people in Jiang Xun’s stylist’s studio had given her false information?
Jiang Xun’s fingertips gently brushed the feathers on the dress. Without waiting for Youlan to ask, she took the initiative to answer her question. “The stylist got me a long white dress he borrowed from a brand, and it just so happened to be quite similar to the style of your dress, Teacher Su. I saw the photo that your studio posted, so I quickly changed it. It’s a good thing I did not wear that, or else we’d be wearing the same outfit, and it’d be awkward for the uglier one.”
Youlan was furious. She gritted her teeth, but she had to maintain her image.
Her eyes fell on the jewelry Jiang Xun was wearing.
The sudden discovery that Jiang Xun had changed her clothes was so shocking that Youlan didn’t notice the jewelry Jiang Xun was wearing at first.
Looking at it now, she almost went blind.
Youlan was also someone who often wore jewelry from big brands, so she could tell at a glance that they were real or fake.
