Chapter 385:1 Have A Few Questions
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: End less Fantasy Translation
At this moment, Gu Ziye felt like wringing Rong Qi’s neck. He thought, ‘Those from Qiyan Studio had come forward with irrefutable evidence. What was there left to argue? Wouldn’t it be better to just keep a low profile and accept the ridicule at this point?’
Annoyed, Gu Ziye said, “Just go. I’ll handle everything here. Don’t ever show up at events like this again. You’re an embarra.s.sment.”
“Shut up! What are you, a grown man, doing interrupting a conversation among women? Do you want to be their sister?” Mrs. Gu scolded and glared at Gu Ziye.
If Mrs. Gu hadn’t figured out what was going on before, she certainly had by now. Three women were orchestrating a drama. Her own daughter was colluding with the woman threatening to expose everything, and their arrows were aimed squarely at Rong Qi. Their intentions couldn’t be more obvious.
Having spent decades immersed in high society alongside her husband, Mrs. Gu had seen it all—both the good and the bad. Such tactics were beneath her. She didn’t want her daughter to engage in such demeaning acts for any reason.
In Mrs. Gu’s point of view, if one liked something, one fought for it fair and square. Even if the outcome is less than ideal, at least one won’t have any regrets. In a situation like today’s, she could only feel that her daughter was too short-sighted.
Rubbing her forehead, Mrs. Gu said, “Yuyan, I’m not feeling well. Could you accompany me back to my room to rest?”
Mr. Gu stepped forward to help his wife but was met with a glare and a hand that shoved him away. He was speechless.
Gu Yuyan frowned, looking at her mother, who appeared perfectly fine, wondering what she was thinking. She glanced at Ding Ziqiu and Zheng Zixuan below, not wanting to miss the chance to see Rong Qi’s reputation ruined among the elite.
Gu Yuyan said, “Mother, I still have to entertain the guests from the Qiyan Studio. If you’re not feeling well, I’ll ask a maid to a.s.sist you back to the room.”
After a brief exchange of glances, Mrs. Gu sighed, disappointment filling her eyes, and left the room alone.
Gu Yuyan bit her lip.
The small interlude with Mrs. Gu had no impact on the ongoing events.
Rong Qi lifted the corners of her mouth in a slight smile and asked, “May I continue speaking?”
Zheng Zixuan eyed Rong Qi warily and asked, “What do you want to say?”
“Not much, just a few questions for… Mr. Ding here.” Rong Qi replied.
Cued, Ding Ziqiu turned to Rong Qi and nodded with a smile. He said, “Miss Rong, feel free to ask.”
Though Ding Ziqiu was smiling, the expression felt incredibly fake.
Rong Qi said, “Ding Ziqiu…how come I’ve never heard of you in Qiyan Studio’s studio before?”
Ding Ziqiu replied, “I’ve recently joined the team, so it’s understandable that you haven’t heard of me. But despite being new, I’m well-acquainted with Qiyan Studio’s affairs.”
Rong Qi nodded and said, “I see. You said the finished gown is already made but hasn’t been rented out. Were you personally in charge of that?”
Caught off guard, Ding Ziqiu nodded again and said, “Yes, I was tasked by my boss to personally bring the gown to the capital to prepare for the upcoming design compet.i.tion.”
“Oh…” Rong Qi nodded again.
Both Ding Ziqiu and Zheng Zixuan were left confused.
Impatient, Zheng Zixuan spoke, “Rong Qi, what are you trying to say?”
Ding Ziqiu added, “Yes, Miss Rong, if you have questions, just ask me directly. I can answer for you..”
