Chapter 364 - 357: Whose Scheme? (Part 4)
When she received the call from the designer’s assistant, Bai Yiran was in a meeting. She asked the assistant to send the dress directly to her home and quickly hung up the phone.
The gala was tonight, and logically, as the daughter-in-law of the Leng Family, Bai Yiran should be at home preparing for the evening. However, there was a sudden company meeting. Bai Yiran felt that, given her position, it was not appropriate to use the gala as an excuse to skip the meeting.
After the meeting ended, she rushed home without a moment’s rest. Li Sha had been waiting for Bai Yiran at the company’s entrance since early morning. Upon seeing Bai Yiran at the door, she immediately got out of the car, opened the door, and the car started driving.
Wu Chengzu’s car approached from the opposite direction, and he exchanged a glance with Bai Yiran through the car window. Bai Yiran nodded slightly, and Wu Chengzu nodded back faintly. The cars crossed paths and drove off in different directions.
"The Huamei International gala is tonight, right?" Wu Chengzu asked Chen Bei, who was driving.
"Yes, it’s tonight."
Wu Chengzu smiled, took out his phone to check the time, "Unfortunately, I can’t go. Inform Ma Li and Aqiang, change the transaction time to tonight."
"Why?" Chen Bei was puzzled, "We’ve already told the buyer it’s tomorrow. Wouldn’t they be unhappy with a sudden rescheduling?"
Wu Chengzu looked indifferent, exuding natural confidence, "Just go notify them."
Although he didn’t understand, Chen Bei had absolute trust in Wu Chengzu. If he said to change it to tomorrow, then there must be a reason for it.
Wu Chengzu placed his hands behind his head, leaned back in the car seat, and took a deep breath.
There’s no day more suitable than today; everyone’s attention is focused on the Huamei International gala. With such a grand event as a cover, tonight’s transaction will be relatively safe.
Bai Yiran returned home and immediately saw the dress box placed on the living room coffee table, the dress box that had been opened.
The name "Bai Yiran" was clearly written on the box, but the custom dress inside was missing.
Bai Yiran was a bit troubled and called out to Sister Liu, "Where’s my dress? Did you see it?"
Sister Liu froze for a moment; she had been busy organizing the gardening workers in the garden and had not paid attention to the living room.
"I have your dress!" A voice came from upstairs. Luna slowly walked down in high heels, wearing Bai Yiran’s custom dress.
Bai Yiran raised her eyebrows slightly. The dress was made according to her measurements, and now it looked tight on Luna, especially at the bust and abdomen, where it was completely stretched.
"This dress seems to be mine."
Luna smiled, not the least bit embarrassed, "That’s right, it’s yours, and I wore it." Saying this, Luna turned around, "How do you think it looks?"
Bai Yiran really couldn’t compliment how Luna looked in that dress, "Um, the dress is nice."
Luna smiled, but then realized that Bai Yiran only complimented the dress, not her! With a face full of displeasure, she glared at Bai Yiran downstairs and quickened her pace as she walked down.
"I’ve taken a liking to this dress of yours, I’ll wear it tonight, you change into something else!"
"Change into something else?" Even with the best temperament, Bai Yiran felt that Luna was being unreasonable. In such occasions, the dresses are custom-made. How was she supposed to change at this point?
In the end, Bai Yiran decided to let it go. On one hand, she didn’t want to have unnecessary conflicts with Luna over trivial matters, and on the other, she didn’t want to trouble Leng Yichen on such a day.
