On the afternoon of the performance, He Yu came to find Li Wangshu.
“I’ll take you somewhere.”
The overbearing CEO He stuffed Li Wangshu into the car. His manner looked almost like he was kidnapping her, completely leaving no room for questions or objections.
Li Wangshu wondered what this person was planning to do. Could it be that she had really hurt him when she kneed him last time, and now he was coming for revenge…?
“Where are we going?” she asked cautiously.
“I’m taking you to try on performance clothes.”
He Yu rubbed her head.
“What the Ji family can’t give you, I can give you.”
It was truly an unexpected answer.
However, the way he looked at her was overly doting.
…
Before trying on the clothes, Li Wangshu was first taken to eat.
The two of them had a large private room.
Alright, this was already considered a frugal and responsible lifestyle in the overbearing CEO world.
At least he didn’t book the entire restaurant.
Li Wangshu ate without any psychological pressure.
“It’s so delicious. I’m completely full. Will the clothes not fit later?”
“There are tailors waiting there. They can adjust them anytime.”
He Yu had thoughtfully considered even this.
…
Li Wangshu never expected that her clothes-fitting session would be comparable to a fashion show.
Watching models wearing the latest luxury fashion designs walk in front of her one after another, she felt that her previous conclusion about He Yu being a “frugal overbearing CEO” had been too hasty.
“I’m a student. These are all too luxurious. They’re not suitable.”
She was already dazzled by the endless stream of high-end luxury gowns being displayed in front of her.
“Is there not even one you like?”
Looking at these gowns that had been transported overnight from all over the world, He Yu remembered hearing that she had been made things difficult for at the Ji family because of a dress.
He had wanted to help her regain her dignity.
He didn’t realize that he had already fallen for her.
He simply thought it was his overbearing CEO instinct—the belief that no one was allowed to bully his person.
“There’s still time. I’ll have them continue searching.”
“No need. That one is pretty good.”
Li Wangshu didn’t want to make him continue causing trouble, so she quickly pointed at the white starry dress worn by one of the models.
This dress was naturally also exquisite and luxurious, but compared to the others, it was much more understated.
“Miss Li really has good taste. This dress was personally designed by Master S and is the newest seasonal design from A’s brand.”
A good salesperson never questioned a customer’s taste.
No matter what, they could always praise it beautifully.
However, Li Wangshu truly did not expect that this seemingly ordinary dress was actually worth eight million yuan.
But she really didn’t want to continue choosing.
And judging from today’s arrangement, she had reason to suspect that the other designs were probably not cheaper.
It’s just inflation in the overbearing CEO world. Don’t worry about it. Just treat eight million as eight hundred.
After successfully convincing herself, Li Wangshu calmly went to try on the white dress.
…
When Li Wangshu came out wearing the white evening dress, He Yu’s eyes lit up.
Although the dress was not overwhelmingly luxurious at first glance, every detail was carefully designed.
The layered skirt was covered with delicate embroidery.
The front of the dress reached only her knees while the back was longer.
It looked elegant yet still carried the playful charm that suited her age.
Of course, her pair of long, straight legs were also very pleasing to look at.
He Yu’s gaze paused briefly on the scar on her right leg.
The light red scar was about five or six centimeters long. Against her fair calf, it looked somewhat out of place.
After receiving permission, the shop assistant applied some foundation over the scar.
The scar quickly disappeared.
The scar on her forehead was even lighter and easier to cover.
“You really suit this dress.”
After finishing her makeup, even the shop assistant felt that the beauty of the dress had been completely brought out.
“This dress is truly lucky to have met you.”
Li Wangshu smiled and walked over to He Yu.
“Does it look good?”
“Just okay.”
He Yu struggled to move his eyes away and still stubbornly refused to admit it.
…
By the time the two arrived at the school, the performance was already halfway over.
Li Wangshu went backstage to prepare.
He Yu casually found a seat.
At that moment, the performance happened to reach Ji Mo’s violin solo.
There was no denying that the Ji family had truly put a lot of effort into raising this daughter.
Under a spotlight, Ji Mo wore a pink gown, with dazzling jewelry shining on her body.
Combined with the elegant sound of the violin, even ignoring her appearance, the atmosphere alone was enough to make many people consider her a goddess.
Not to mention, she was also beautiful.
Jiang Fengmian stared at the girl on stage in fascination.
He thought that he had to quickly ask his family to officially propose marriage to the Ji family.
After they graduated, they would get married.
That way, his girl would have more confidence in the Ji family and wouldn’t feel inferior because of her identity.
He seemed to have completely forgotten that the He family had already taken the first step and proposed marriage before him.
…
At this moment, the Ji family members sitting in the front row looked extremely proud.
Look.
This was the daughter they had carefully cultivated.
A true wealthy young lady.
She could stand out in every aspect.
“This despicable woman!”
Ji Lian was so angry that she looked like she was about to burn.
“Despicable! Despicable! Despicable! It’s all because of her! Their love for me has decreased!”
Li Wangshu looked helplessly at the furious, uncultured ghost.
“First, insulting people is wrong. Second, your vocabulary when cursing people is too limited.”
“Are you not worried?”
Ji Lian looked at Li Wangshu, who remained calm.
“Their love for Ji Mo has increased, and the love they give us will decrease!”
“Being worried is useless, and jealousy is the ugliest emotion.”
Li Wangshu looked at the flawless Ji Mo on stage.
“Her violin skills are actually pretty good.”
“Ahhh! How can you still admire her?”
Ji Lian wanted to cover her ears and completely block out the violin music that made her physically uncomfortable.
“Alright, stop shouting. I’ll help you get your moment back later.”
…
Meanwhile, Xu Li, who was sitting behind Ji Mo, secretly used the laptop in his hands to connect to the backstage control room.
After the principal’s award ceremony ended, he accurately deleted Li Wangshu’s original accompaniment track.
He also inserted a harmless Trojan program that would temporarily prevent the entire accompaniment system from recovering.
At this moment, the host had finished announcing the next performer.
When the Ji family heard Li Wangshu’s name, they were all surprised.
“It can’t be the same name, right…”
Before Ji Chenxing finished speaking, he saw a stunningly beautiful girl walk onto the stage.
It was Li Wangshu.
“Moon also has a performance?”
Xu Jingya was somewhat surprised.
But it wasn’t exactly excitement.
Instead, she felt a little worried.
“Can she do it?”
“This year’s university anniversary performance at Peking University went through selection. Since she can stand on stage, she probably shouldn’t be too bad.”
Although Ji Huaiyang said this, he actually had little confidence.
“Seriously, she doesn’t even know her own limits.”
Ji Chenxing curled his lips.
“She thinks she’s Mo Mo? Mo Mo, could it be that after seeing you have a performance, she forced herself to join too?”
“I don’t know…”
Ji Mo honestly answered.
“Actually, I didn’t see my sister during the previous rehearsals…”
However, she still added fuel to the fire.
“My participation in this anniversary event wasn’t a secret. It’s not strange that my sister knew.”
I hope she doesn’t embarrass herself too badly.
Ji Qingshuang silently prayed.
She didn’t expect her to shine.
She only hoped she wouldn’t sing completely off-key.
…
“Wow, another beauty.”
“Which department is she from?”
“I think she’s much prettier than the girl who played the violin.”
“But she has a disability. I’ve seen her before. She walks with a slight limp.”
“Really? I couldn’t tell.”
“She has only taken a few steps onto the stage. It’s normal that you couldn’t notice.”
…
Whispers began spreading around the audience.
Ji Mo bit her lip but did not panic.
Earlier, Xu Li had promised that he would make sure Li Wangshu couldn’t perform properly and would embarrass herself.
She was waiting.
After Li Wangshu stepped onto the stage, she waited.
But no sound came.
She stood there motionless for a full half minute.
Finally, someone walked onto the stage and told her that there was a problem.
