From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 163 - 163: 082 Master (an updated version)_4

“Learn well from Madam Zhou, so when I’m not around, you won’t be unable to take care of yourself. At least, you can support yourself.”

Zhu Xiangxiang saw Ming Jing and quickly turned around, wiping her tears as she went to clear the plates, suppressing her disgust.

At this moment, Uncle Wen came in and said, “Madam, Designer Dai is here to deliver the clothes.”

Lin Qing nodded, “Let her in.”

Zhu Xiangxiang was startled, what was the purpose of Lin Qing ordering clothes? Was there an important gathering recently?

Dai Xi is a domestic up-and-coming designer, having established her own clothing brand Xi Yue Er after returning from studying abroad. Frequently collaborating with celebrities and designing bold and innovative clothing, she quickly gained favor among female stars and made a name for herself in the country. Her studio now rarely accepts outside orders, but because Lin Qing gave her a lot of support when she first started her business, she was grateful and has always been responsible for the clothing of Zhu Xiangxiang and Lin Qing.

Last time, her assistant delivered the evening gowns for Zhu Xiangxiang and Zhu Mingjing, as she was attending a fashion show abroad at the time. When she returned, her assistant gossiped about the different treatments of the two Zhu ladies – the true and false heiresses – at the Zhus’ house. Dai Xi had a close relationship with Lin Qing, even considering her a close friend. She had always wanted to visit, but in the past few months, she was busy with foreign fashion shows and simply couldn’t spare the time until now.

“It’s been more than four months since I last saw you. You are really busy, big designer.”

“Madam, don’t say that. I’ve been really busy during this time, otherwise, I would have come to see you sooner. This must be Ms. Zhu Mingjing, just like the rumors.”

Dai Xi couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at the young girl standing beside Lin Qing.

Accustomed to seeing many female stars in the entertainment circle, her tastes had been raised quite high, with ordinary beauties hardly catching her eye. But this young girl had managed to astonish her after such a long time.

“What rumors? How come I don’t know about them?”

Dai Xi smiled, “It’s said in Jiangzhou that the true heiress of the Zhus is as beautiful as a fairy, kind -hearted, and compassionate. Madam Zhu, you are indeed very fortunate.”

Lin Qing smiled contentedly.

“These are the clothes for you and Ms. Ming Jing, the absolute first-wear of the season. I brought them to you first.” Dai Xi placed two beautifully packaged large boxes on the table.

Dai Xi said to Ming Jing, “Shall I take Ms. Ming Jing to try on the clothes first?”

Lin Qing nodded, and said to Ming Jing, ‘Go ahead.”

Dai Xi picked up the box on top and was about to follow Ming Jing upstairs when her gaze met Zhu Xiangxiang’s.

She saw Zhu Xiangxiang with her messy hair pulled back into a casual ponytail, an apron tied around her waist, pushing a small cart piled with greasy, messy plates.

Was this once the proud, elegant, and dignified number one lady? This is a young maid, especially with that expression of deep resentment on her face…

Dai Xi could hardly believe it.

Upon seeing Dai Xi, Zhu Xiangxiang’s first reaction was joy as if she had seen a relative. But with a quick glance at Zhu Mingjing beside her, she seemed very fearful, quickly lowered her head, and walked past them pushing the cart filled with plates, heading into the kitchen.

The smoothness of the series of expressions changes that occurred within a few moments was truly breathtaking.

Dai Xi raised her eyebrows, sensing the taste of gossip. Nevertheless, the gossip within these wealthy families wasn’t meant for casual consumption.

Before heading upstairs, Dai Xi glanced back at Lin Qing sitting on the living room sofa and then looked towards the kitchen.

The waters in this mansion are too deep.

Then, looking at the slender, tall, straight-backed girl walking ahead, who hadn’t said a word since she entered the room, Dai Xi couldn’t help but feel an extremely unfathomable sense of the girl.

The fitting went smoothly, without any need for alterations.

“Ms. Zhu has a very standard nine-head-length-body ratio, right-angled shoulders, and wrists below the crotch. With this type of figure, any outfit looks good. Moreover, Ms. Zhu is only sixteen years old, and her height can still grow. If you weren’t a young lady of the Zhus, I would have already invited you to be a model at my studio.”

Wondering how this figure came about, Dai Xi even noticed the vest line.

Young, beautiful, in a great shape, from a good background, and intelligent — upon seeing her, Dai Xi understood what it meant to be the chosen one.

Heaven’s favor was truly unreasonable.

Ming Jing changed back into her pajamas, “Is Aunt Dai a good friend of my mother?”

This was the first sentence Dai Xi heard her say, and it was a pleasant voice.

Smiling, she replied, “I’ve been friends with your mother for over a decade. When I first started my business, she helped me a lot, and she is even a shareholder in my studio..”
