An Nuan listened to Luo Si's words and fell silent.
Luo Si also fell silent.
She didn't intend to undermine An Nuan, at least not in front of Meng Qiming in the car. She had endured without saying anything then.
If she didn't say it now, it would be too late later.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward for a moment.
An Nuan suddenly responded with an "Oh."
Luo Si looked at An Nuan.
What did this "Oh" mean?!
Was she still going to talk about moving in or... letting it go.
Luo Si really didn't dare confirm.
So on that Saturday, she carefully sent a message asking if An Nuan needed her to accompany her to choose a dress. An Nuan directly sent her a location.
She knew then.
Their An Nuan was not one to let things go easily.
She hurried to the haute couture dress area and saw An Nuan looking through Celina gowns. What was worse was that Tong Zhitong was also there.
At this moment, the SAs were earnestly introducing them to dresses.
No one dared offend either of them, but they were clearly more enthusiastic towards Tong Zhitong.
Luo Si inconspicuously went to stand by An Nuan's side.
Then she heard the SA flattering Tong Zhitong, "Miss Tong, our design director James especially instructed that Miss Tong can try on any of Celina's haute couture gowns. We look forward to your dazzling appearance tonight."
The corner of Tong Zhitong's mouth curled into a smug smile. At that moment, she seemed to glance at An Nuan out of the corner of her eye, with obvious arrogance. "Didn't James introduce two options to me?"
"Of course there are," the SA said hastily. "These two here, Mr. James said they would be very suitable for Miss Tong. Miss Tong can try them on. They are our flagship styles this season that the model will showcase tonight. But if Miss Tong chooses one, we'll switch the model's gown and have Miss Tong model it instead."
"Let me try this one," Tong Zhitong pointed to the gold long tailed gown in front of her.
The SA hurriedly had someone take it down for her, then led her to the changing room.
An Nuan was still looking through dresses for herself.
She had naturally also heard the conversation between Tong Zhitong and the SAs.
So Tong Zhitong would be walking the runway tonight?!
Of course.
As Celina's prime model, Tong Zhitong's return to the runway after a 2 year hiatus would naturally generate greater publicity for Celina.
An Nuan remained expressionless as she thought. Suddenly she looked up and asked, "Where are Crane's haute couture gowns for this season?"
"I'm sorry Miss An, because Crane gowns have always been limited editions for us, they cannot be sold without an initial launch. I hope Miss An can understand," the SA said awkwardly.
An Nuan did not make things difficult for her.
She turned to Luo Si, "Go pick one yourself first, I need to make a call."
"Yes," Luo Si replied respectfully.
An Nuan walked to the side.
After quite some time, she returned.
When she came back, she saw Luo Si had already randomly picked out a black evening gown.
As a secretary, she would naturally often accompany her boss to events, but she knew better than to upstage her boss, so she chose the most low-key, ordinary style.
At this time, Tong Zhitong had also changed into her gown and walked out of the fitting room.
Stepping out, the golden gown shone under the lights, truly stunning.
Everyone's gazes were fixed on Tong Zhitong.
It had to be said.
With Tong Zhitong's 175cm height and slender figure, plus the inherent stage presence of a supermodel, she really had the arrogant capital.
She looked at herself in the full length mirror, fully satisfied, and couldn't help throwing a provocative glance at An Nuan.
An Nuan glanced at her briefly.
She didn't pay Tong Zhitong any mind. She said to Luo Si, "You go change first."
"Yes."
Luo Si followed the SA to the changing room.
Seeing An Nuan's attitude, Tong Zhitong laughed coldly.
An Nuan was good looking.
So good looking it made other women feel inferior.
But so what.
The one who would steal the spotlight tonight would be her.
"Miss Tong, you look simply tailored for this gown, so beautiful!" the SA extravagantly flattered her.
Tong Zhitong smiled slightly. "Tell James I want this one."
"Of course." The SA hastily agreed, then asked, "Will Miss Tong be having her makeup done here with us?"
"No need. I still need to do a runway rehearsal for tonight's fashion show, James will arrange a makeup artist for me then," Tong Zhitong deliberately mentioned to let An Nuan know she had a special relationship with Celina.
An Nuan paid it no mind.
She just watched indifferently as the elegant Tong Zhitong in her exquisite gown walked past her.
Passing by her, Tong Zhitong paused and said over her shoulder without turning her head, "Don't set your sights on Celina, you don't stand a chance."
An Nuan laughed coldly to herself.
Who didn't stand a chance would be clear soon.
Tong Zhitong left.
At the same time, the boutique manager hastily came up to An Nuan, his attitude extremely respectful. "Miss An, sorry to have neglected you. I just received direct instructions from Celina headquarters top management. I will accompany you right away to select Crane haute couture gowns. This way please."
An Nuan nodded slightly.
Under the shocked gazes of the SAs, she went to Crane's haute couture section.
It had to be known that in all these years, not a single person had been able to try on Crane gowns before they were officially launched.
At 7pm.
An Nuan arrived at the Celina new product launch site with Luo Si right on time.
Right at the entrance was a high-end T-shaped runway.
The left and right sides, as well as the front, already had seats set up.
At the moment, the lighting on site was only illuminating the runway. The surroundings were dark, making it very difficult to make out who was who.
An Nuan was led by staff to her seat.
Being a business conglomerate heir, An Nuan's seat was naturally not lacking.
It was probably deliberately arranged.
The seats for the four big families were all on the left side closest to the runway.
When An Nuan walked over, she saw Ye Jinghuai, Qin Jiang, Xia Qiqi, Nie Ziming, Gu Yan Sheng and Gu YanXuan under the reflected stage lights.
An Nuan was not surprised to see the others.
Seeing Ye Jinghuai...
This guy came to join in the fun even with his lame leg.
The key was, when she left home that afternoon, Ye Jinghuai hadn't mentioned at all that he would also be attending the fashion show. She had automatically assumed the other Ye family members would attend, like Ye family eldest son Ye Jing Chen, second son Ye Jingxuan, and hadn't thought that Ye Jinghuai, this eminent figure, was now sitting properly here.
And right next to her too.
An Nuan sat down at her seat nonchalantly, also not actively conversing with Ye Jinghuai.
After all.
As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it would be embarrassing for others instead.
In the silence.
"Don't you two go out together?" Xia Qiqi's voice suddenly rang out beside her.
An Nuan was speechless.
She didn't fear formidable opponents, just pig-like teammates.
This Xia Qiqi woman only wanted to stir up trouble, didn't she?!
