Another starlet pursed her lips and said, “That’s because she is so beautiful and fashionable. Most importantly, she is rich!” Then she took a look at the girls from rich families who sat in the show field but who nobody actually cared for… she curled her lips and said, “Look at those nouveau riche girls. Even cosmetic surgery can’t save their faces. All they know is how to wrap themselves in name brand clothes. And look at their greasy hair. Nobody knows who they are even if they buy a front-row seat.”

“Hey…” That starlet looked at Xu Fang sitting in the front row and lowered her voice, asking, “Why does nobody speak to Big Star Xu? Isn’t she the endorser of Chanel? Is Chanel going to replace her with someone else?”

“Shh, haven’t you heard that Big Star Xu offended her boss, so was frozen out by her boss. Her agent tried every possible way to persuade her boss, so she could still show up here. By the way, do you know who her boss is?”

Xu Fang heard their conversation. She narrowed her eyes, lunged to her feet and coldly said, “If you want to gossip about someone, don’t let the one who you are gossiping about hear you, understood?!”

The two starlets shut up in embarrassment. Xu Fang took a deep breath, sat down in her seat and clenched her cell phone; she then continued to read the message on her phone.

Tang Xi went backstage with Lehr. The Design Director was busy at work. Tang Xi smiled and signaled to Lehr to not speak. She then tiptoed behind him and patted him on the shoulder whilst laughing. “Carl!”

Carl looked back only to see that it was Tang Xi. His eyes lit up and he held Tang Xi’s hand and kept saying, “Oh, my God! Oh, my God!” He then said, “My muse, why didn’t you tell me you were coming? I just said to Lehr that you might not come to the show. I didn’t expect to see you here! Fortunately, I had them reserve the seat for you.”

Tang Xi sat beside Carl and said with a smile, “It’s your show. Of course I will come.”

“Lawrence will come over soon. You can talk with him.”

Tang Xi’s eyes lit up. Lawrence was the president of the most famous fashion magazine in the world and a fashion guru. He seldom attends fashion shows but he and Carl were good friends, so it was no surprise that he would come to this show. To Tang Xi’s great pleasure she was also a friend of Lawrence because of Carl. They had a lot to talk about on fashion. Tang Xi thought God must be helping her. If Lawrence showed up to The Queen’s show, it would attract a lot of attention!

“Great. I haven’t seen Lawrence for so long. I can take this chance to talk with him.” Tang Xi said with a smile, “I saw so many celebrities and models outside. You’ve really developed this brand well.”

“It’s my duty.” Carl laughed and patted Tang Xi’s hand, saying, “Go watch the show with me later.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, and Carl smiled and said, “I’ve designed a dress for you to wear in my show, but I know you never walk catwalk for any brand, so I can only…”

“I can watch the show in the dress.” Tang Xi took a look at the dress she was wearing, and smiled, “Just like this dress.”

“Okay.”

Tang Xi put on the red dress that Carl had designed for her. This red dress was very simple without any patterns but it looked as dazzling as a rising sun on her. Tang Xi looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair-do today went perfectly with this dress! She almost couldn’t recognize herself.

Carl was excited when he saw how gorgeous Tang Xi was in this red dress. He said, “As soon as I saw the draft of this dress, I had the feeling that it belonged to you. Wait a moment.” He then took out a pair of red high heels and handed it to Tang Xi, saying, “Shoes.” He squatted down and helped her on with the shoes. Then he stood up and looked her up and down, exclaiming, “I planned to post this dress and the shoes to you. Fortunately, I kept them. In this dress, you’ll be the most beautiful girl in this show today.”

“Well, don’t blame me if I outshine the models on the stage.” Tang Xi looked at herself in the mirror and exclaimed, “Carl, you do know me very well.”

The design of the red dress was very simple, but when she wore it, not only the dress but also her, were sublime. “No wonder it’s said that the simplest dress is the hardest to design. The dress you designed is simple yet oh so gorgeous.”

“My muse, now come with me to watch the show.” Carl extended his hand towards Tang Xi. Just then, Lehr came back. When he saw Tang Xi in this dress, he exclaimed, “Oh, my God, Carl! What have you done to our Tang? Why do I feel like I’m looking at a beautiful angel? Oh, my God, you’re gorgeous!”

He spoke English, then Chinese and then French. Tang Xi looked at Lehr and smiled. “Your Chinese is getting better.”

Lehr shook his head. “I think I won’t watch the show today. I will only look at our angel.”

Sure enough, as soon as Tang Xi and Carl came out, they attracted everyone’s attention, especially the male stars and rich men invited to watch the show. Their eyes lit up when they saw Tang Xi. Xu Fang stared at Tang Xi who came out hand in hand with Carl, a gleam of jealousy flickered across her eyes. She clenched her hands and her nails sank into her palm. She knew as soon as Tang Xi appeared, she would be in the limelight, everyone would only look at her and even the designers were fond of her!

Why?! She obtained her current status at the expense of the life of her beloved man! But she still couldn’t get what Tang Xi owned. Although she was Chanel’s endorser, she was ignored by these people, whereas this woman was so warmly welcomed even though she didn’t do anything! It was so unfair!

Just then, a white man patted Xu Fang’s shoulder. He stared greedily at Tang Xi and asked Xu Fang, “Is she a Chinese actress? How much is she per night? What’s her relationship with Carl?”

Xu Fang paused and looked back at that man. Her heart beat faster when she clearly saw the man. Thinking of the message she just received, she took a deep breath and said, “Such an adorable China doll. How much do you think she’s worth?” She tried to calm down and continued, “But she is expensive. I’m afraid you…”
