Chapter 409: A Dream (8)
Qiao Mo’s lips curled into a subtle, ambiguous smile. "Does Miss Chen really think so?""Of course."
Facing her gaze, Chen Shiqing frowned slightly, vaguely sensing something amiss, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was.
The sales assistant looked at Qiao Mo and timely asked, "Miss, would you like to raise your bid?"
The sales assistant couldn’t be blamed for asking eagerly, given she was also quite excited at the moment.
These assistants earned commissions as well, and she had been a bit dejected that no one was interested in the dress, but unexpectedly, after Qiao Mo tried it on, this dramatic reversal happened.
Qiao Mo lowered her eyes and said slowly, "No, I won’t raise my bid. I just hope Miss Chen thinks it’s worth it."
Hearing this, Chen Shiqing’s face broke into a deep grin, like a rooster with a victory, her eyes full of cold smiles and triumph!
Nothing Chen Shiqing wanted could be taken away from her.
The dress.
Or the man.
So what if Qiao Mo had a face that pleased him?
A pretty face, after all, is easily destroyed...
Beside her, Qiao Yin seized the opportunity to kick her when she was down, looking at Qiao Mo with sarcasm. "Xiao Mo, didn’t you like it too? Are you just going to give up so easily..."
"This dress is not worth that price," Qiao Mo said plainly.
"Hmph, what do you mean not worth it, I think you can’t afford it!"
"That’s right, the Qiao family is bankrupt now, and you’ve cut ties with them. How could a student like you have any money? Since you don’t have money, why compete with Shi Qing? I’ve already advised you to know your place, and as you can see, you’re the one who’s embarrassed!" Qiao Yin felt gratified to vent her frustration.
Qiao Mo merely lowered her eyes in silence, as if she had no words to counter.
Chen Shiqing witnessed this scene, her smile grew even wider, she turned to the sales assistant and said, "Check me out, please."
Immediately, she nonchalantly paid the bill, but as soon as she saw the series of zeros deducted, her heart still ached, feeling like it was bleeding.
After the sales assistant verified, a smile finally appeared on Qiao Mo’s face too.
The sales assistant packaged the dress and handed it to Chen Shiqing.
Holding the dress in her hands, Chen Shiqing became even more arrogant, smiling as she looked at Qiao Mo, "I’m sorry, Miss Qiao, it seems I’ve snatched it right from under you."
Qiao Mo didn’t get angry, and now that she confirmed the payment was completed, she was no longer silent; instead, she became extraordinarily enthusiastic, "Why say you’ve snatched it away? Miss Chen, your words sound too distant."
Chen Shiqing was taken aback, not quite understanding why this woman’s attitude suddenly changed so unexpectedly?
Shouldn’t she have been very angry at this moment?
At the very least, shouldn’t she feel humiliated and embarrassed?
Why was she so enthusiastic instead?
Qiao Mo laughed charmingly and spoke again, "Come to think of it, I must thank Miss Chen for the support. I never expected that a dress I casually used for practice would receive such high praise from you. This is truly a tremendous support for my design career."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent. Many people were unsure of what was going on.
Chen Shiqing was even more stunned, looking at Qiao Mo, unable to react for quite a while.
What did she mean by that?
Qiao Yin voiced the question for her, "Qiao Mo! What do you mean by that? What are you talking about? A dress for practice?"
"Oh, don’t you know? I’m the designer of this dress," Qiao Mo said lightly with a smile.
A low murmur of discussion instantly rose around them.
"Oh my gosh, Qiao Mo is actually the designer of this dress! Doesn’t that make Chen Shiqing a fool!"
