Chapter 352: To Her Liking
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Song brocade from Suzhou? What’s that?” someone in the hall asked.
Someone whose family was in the clothing industry explained to her, “That’s one of the four most famous brocades in Hua. It was first used to mount calligraphy and paintings before being used for clothing. The texture is tough and soft, and it’s silk that can handle wear and tear. It can be washed repeatedly without losing color and wearing out. It was a very expensive fabric during the Song Dynasty. Even now, the price of Song brocade is not low. The cost of a complete set of outfit is close to ten thousand Yuan.”
“And she just tore a piece of such an expensive cloth and used it as a bag?” The man was surprised because the cloth Bai Lin used to wrap the porcelain was not hemmed. There were weaving traces on the edge of the cloth, as if it was cut and torn from a piece of cloth. This was why many people mistakenly thought that Bai Lin’s bag contained a piece of junk.
Yan Yue scowled. She could not help but clench her fists tightly. She did not let go even when her knuckles were in pain.
Did they not say that Bai Lin did not accept any endors.e.m.e.nts or commercial activities?
Where did she get so much money to buy such an expensive antique?
Jealousy burned like a fire in Yan Yue’s eyes. The shock she had suffered tonight was greater than anything she had experienced in the past 22 years.
Her love for Yan Ruo, her longing for the university she liked, and her respect for Elder Mrs. Yan all transformed into a strong feeling at this moment— hatred.
Yan Ming had appeared behind Yan Yue without her knowing, and he spoke indifferently into Yan Yue’s ear, “Calm down. We can’t ruin this.”
He left after giving this warning.
No one noticed what was happening in this small corner, just like how the jade ornament that had attracted so much attention before was now lying quietly in the box, ignored by everyone.
Of course, Bai Lin noticed Yan Yue’s burning gaze.
However, she did not care at all. That woman was just look at her. She could not really burn a hole in her body, so she just let her look.
Elder Mrs. Yan saw that Bai Lin’s expression remained the same even after receiving such praises. She admired her neither humble nor arrogant att.i.tude. The quick meeting with Bai Lin at the dinner party had made her keep giving Bai Lin extra points in her heart. She had never met a girl who was to her liking in all aspects.
Elder Mrs. Yan looked at Bai Lin with a smile, as if she was already very fond of the girlfriend that Yan Ruo had chosen.
Yan Yue watched as everything that should have belonged to her was taken away by Bai Lin. Her nails dug into her palms, leaving three b.l.o.o.d.y marks.
However, she understood that she had to be patient after Yan Mings reminder.
As the saying goes, no one is perfect.
Yan Yue watched as Bai Lin was surrounded by the crowd, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Even though she was in the limelight today, it was impossible for her to not have a single flaw. As long as Yan Yue could find even the slightest flaw in Bai Lin, she would completely destroy Bai Lin’s reputation and make her get cursed at by thousands of people. She would never be able to make a comeback.
“Yueyue-jiejie! Look, isn’t Bai Lin-jiejie amazing? She managed to buy such a beautiful gift!” Yan Yu’s innocent words were only meant to share her joy with a sister close to her.
Yan Yue glared at her, and she did not dare to say another word.
Her sister was usually a little cold to her and was very strict with her discipline, but she had never looked at her with such a fierce gaze like today.
Yes, it was fierce, just like… like she wanted to peel her skin off.
Yan Yu pouted in grievance and quickly ran away.
It was at this time that Yan Ruo finally arrived, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, as if he had rushed back in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, he heard people talking about Bai Lin other than the guests politely greeting him.
He stopped in his tracks and listened carefully. It turned out that they were all words of praise.
“Is there really such a powerful force behind the Bai family? Then why is Bai Xi’s whereabouts still unknown?” a female celebrity whispered to another female celebrity beside her.
“How’s that possible?!” another female celebrity replied, “Bai Lin’s never stayed in the Bai family since she was young. Besides, with the Bai family’s current state, how could they possibly afford so much money for Bai Lin to buy a birthday gift? I’m 80% sure it’s because of her own capabilities.”
The two female celebrities looked at each other and sighed, “Sigh, there’s really a difference between people..”
