Chapter 46: Voluptuous

Chu Wuyou hung up immediately. If the conversation were to go on, Qin Yutong could have probably scrubbed her clean and sent her to somebody’s bed.

However, based on Qin Yutong’s investigation, it could just be a coincidence.

Maybe it was all in her head.

The next day, pieces of news about the two Young Ladies of the Chu family plastered all over the headlines again, but it was slightly different this time around.

Jin City’s No. 1 socialite, Chu Ninger, was accused of ignoring sisterly ties. Her elder sister who had just recovered had been harassed, yet she hid in a corner as an onlooker. She was also exposed as the other woman between Chu Wuyou’s and Young Master He’s relationship five years ago, resulting in the latter’s breakup.

On the other hand, things had taken a positive turn for Chu Wuyou, who had always been shamed and bashed by the media. Many reports described how innocent, naive and pure she was.

Innocent? Naive?

Ye Lanchen snorted gently when he saw these descriptions.

“I heard Elder Chu has organized a banquet for First Young Lady Chu. In fact, it’s a matchmaking banquet, and it’ll be held tomorrow. Fifth Young Master Shen is also invited.” Secretary Liu pretended not to have heard that snort, reporting every single detail truthfully instead. The President had ordered him to scrutinize the Chu family.

Ye Lanchen lifted his gaze to look at Secretary Liu in a complex manner.

Shen Ting was invited too? Why was he not invited?

“Elder Chu and Elder Shen have known each other for years, thus it’s reasonable for Fifth Young Master Shen to be invited.” Secretary Liu, being the shrewd person he was, understood the President’s expression.

Why did he feel that the President was a little jealous?

However, the President had forgotten one thing. The Ye and Chu families had never been in contact with each other. The Ye family was high and mighty in the Chu family’s eyes. Therefore, the Chu family did not dare to invite the Ye family to the banquet.

Ye Lanchen remained silent, but Secretary Liu knew that the President would head there tomorrow. He noticed how concerned the President was towards issues surrounding First Young Lady Chu.

The next day at Sheng Shi Hotel.

Chu Wuyou was never interested in this sort of banquets, but she agreed to attend this time. She had been investigating the man in the photo for days, but to no avail. She knew that the man was a successful figure among the elites; he would probably show up at this banquet.

It was less than an hour to the banquet before someone handed her gown to her, prepared by Elder Chu. It was made for a young girl, elegant yet adorable.

Chu Wuyou accepted the gown and turned it around. A sardonic smile appeared on her face. As expected, Chu Ninger had tampered with the gown.

Some of the stitches on the zipper at the back of the gown had been split apart. It would have been easy to miss had she not paid attention.

The gown was skintight. It would be fine if she had just put it on, but after some time, or if she applied pressure, the zipper would burst.

As always, Chu Ninger’s tactics were despicable.

Luckily, she was well-prepared for this.

Twenty-minutes later, the gown ordered by Chu Wuyou arrived.

“Nan Gongmu, are you sure you’ve given me the right gown?” Chu Wuyou was surprised when she unfolded the gown. She called Nan Gongmu while staring at the gown in disbelief.

“Of course, how could I mess up your order? I guarantee that there’s no mistake! It’ll fit you perfectly!” Nan Gongmu laughed with a hint of wantonness.

“I have a face full of freckles and a thick, dowdy pair of glasses. Do you think I’ll fit the gown you’ve designed?” Chu Wuyou exhaled, trying to keep calm.

“Dear, with that voluptuous body of yours, as long as you wear the dress I’ve specially designed for you, you’ll still stun the crowd even if you were to put a pot over your head.” Nan Gongmu roared with laughter.

“Alright, that’s evil of you. You’d better not ask any favors from me. My last name won’t be Chu if I don’t teach you a lesson.”

Previously, she insisted that her gown must be simple, plain and modest. She wanted to be discreet, yet he threw her such a big surprise.

Moreover, he had it sent over less than 30 minutes before the banquet commenced.

She would never believe it if he said that he did not do so on purpose.

For now, she had no other choice.
