Chapter 191: I Refuse!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ling Jing’s studio was located on the top floor of a building in the business district in the central part of the city. After touring the entire floor, from the fabric area to the tailoring design area to the finished product area and the accessories area, she understood why Ling Jing’s designs were loved even by the President’s wife.
This guy was a workaholic!
In the work area, more than a dozen embroiderers were working hard making handmade embroidery.
“They are all embroiderers I personally invited here from Jiangnan. There are very few people still active in this industry now.”
“Machine embroidery has replaced manual labor because it is more convenient and faster.”
“But many patterns can’t be embroidered by a machine. Look at the stamens on the flowers of this piece. You have to do them one by one.”
Standing next to a mannequin, Yun Xi looked at the dress it was wearing and couldn’t help exclaiming, “It’s so beautiful!”
In the traditional Chinese style, the powder blue fabric had clouds and sea waves, phoenixes and flower branches, and the feathers on the skirt were spread out like waves.
This beautiful and innovative design not only contained traditional Chinese patterns, but also had the curves of modern dresses. It looked especially dazzling.
“I’ll let the assistant take you to try on this dress. The size can be adjusted later.”
“Sounds good!”
After all the fuss, Yun Xi was a bit overwhelmed and exhausted.
Being a model was not an easy task. That dress took much effort just to put on, and she had to be extremely careful when she wore it.
After changing her clothes and putting on makeup and having her hair done, it was finally over.
Yun Xi and Ling Jing ate lunch with the staff, and she listened to Ling Jing talk about the inspiration and design concept of the dress.
He truly was a genius designer, and with a pair of scissors he’d turned his ingenious ideas into a glamorous dress.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Yun Xi couldn’t help but remember the feeling of falling from a height before dying in her previous life.
Weightlessness, fear, and boundless despair…
The more she thought about it, the colder her hands and feet became. She suddenly shivered and pulled herself out of the fearful memory.
Ling Jing saw that something seemed wrong with her, so he dropped the scissors and walked over. “You don’t look well. Are you all right?”
“It’s okay, I’m just a little afraid of heights.” Turning around, Yun Xi glanced at the clock on the wall. “It’s getting late, so I need to get back.”
“I will send you back!”
As soon as she got home, Yun Xi saw Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling sitting in the living room. Yun Yuanfeng hadn’t come back home yet.
Yun Xi glanced at these two people in the living room, and, feeling somewhat downcast, even greeting them felt unnecessary.
“Wretched girl, stop right there!”
Standing on the stairs, Yun Xi looked down condescendingly at Liang Xiuqin, who had rushed over, her face in a frown.
“Where did the safe in your room come from? Why didn’t I know there was a safe in there?”
“Mom! You went into my room to look through my things without my permission. Isn’t that a bit too much?”
She had been back for quite a while now, and they had gone through the things in her room more than once.
This time, Liang Xinyi and Yun Ziling probably said something, and she’d tried to find the jade pendant.
“I’m too much? I’m in charge of this house. I can touch anything I want in the house. You be honest. Tell me where it came from, and what’s in it.”
The safe was heavy, and it was locked to the iron bed frame, so it couldn’t be removed.
Nothing could be done unless the bed was taken apart, but if she made such a big move and the wretched girl complained to Yun Yuanfeng, she would be dead meat.
So she didn’t dare move it and had simply randomly entered a few numbers trying to figure out the password. The numbers had been wrong three times in a row, so she’d been locked out of the safe. She’d actually gotten a shock.
The current had nearly electrocuted her.
Of course Yun Xi couldn’t tell the truth. If she’d really said that it was given to her by Mu Feichi, her mother would definitely cause a ruckus.
“The safe was given to me by Madame Chen. It has my personal belongings in it, and she told me to keep it from you. Even though you are my mother, you have no right to look through my things.”
“I’m your mother! If I don’t have the right, who has the right? You’d better quickly take out the things. If you dare hide something inside that will harm us, I will discipline you.”
Yun Xi couldn’t help but sneer. “The things belong to me, and I refuse!”
