That question immediately made the atmosphere there become turbulent.
“What?” Yan, who was still morose from just now, opened her eyes wide when she heard these words. “Counterfeit? What do you mean?”
Han Muzi raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. High-quality counterfeit dress?
She looked at Zhao Yiru’s blue dress carefully. Because of the lighting on stage just now, she only felt that the color of the skirt was not particularly beautiful. Without the additional lights now, the shortcomings of the counterfeit dress were exposed.
Under the white light, numerous shortcomings were revealed.
Is it a high-quality counterfeit?
Qing gave it to her? Thinking of this, Han Muzi couldn’t help curling her lips into a smile.
Since when has he become so sinister?
While she was thinking about this, she felt a scorching gaze coming from her side that was so powerful that she could not ignore it.
Han Muzi quickly retracted her slight smile and then pressed her lips together as she looked at the stage with an indifferent expression.
After Zhao Yiru was asked such a question by the reporters on stage, the smile on her pretty face froze, and then the corners of her mouth twitched. “What are you talking about? What do you mean by counterfeit? I’m wearing the real deal, okay?”
She did not believe that she was wearing a high-quality counterfeit because Chen Yi had told her that the skirt was bought by someone else at a high price. Not long after he left, someone sent the skirt to her, which made her quite proud for a long time. Now that someone else said she was wearing a fake, of course Zhao Yiru disagreed to that.
Reporters from the entertainment industry were all trying to dig out whatever juicy news available; they didn’t care about anyone’s reputation at all.
After seeing Zhao Yiru’s expression change, not only did the reporter not try to keep it down, he became even ferocious.
“Miss Zhao, don’t you know about this? The genuine version of this dress has been purchased by the president of Han Group, and that is the only dress of this style. If this dress you’re wearing is not a high-quality counterfeit, could the company have made two dresses of the same style?”
Hearing that, Han Muzi, who was sitting in the audience, was stunned for a while as she didn’t expect that the news traveled so quickly.
Zhao Yiru’s face turned pale upon facing the question from the reporter, and she didn’t know how to react for a while. However, at this moment, her manager responded quickly and went on stage. “Sir, I think you may have misunderstood. How could this dress be a counterfeit? Everyone has witnessed it with their own eyes here. Moreover, the information you received may not be true. After all, they are from two different circles. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that the dresses are similar to each other. Let’s close the topic now. Please ask other questions.”
This incident could have died down quickly, but their opponents were reporters of the entertainment industry—they were not so easy to be dismissed. Hence, instead of retreating, the questions they asked became even sharper.
“So you’re saying that the president of Han Group is a liar? The styles of both the dresses are obviously the same with its name labeled on it. How can they be just similar?”
Zhao Yiru was livid, but she heard the reporters say that the dress was bought by the president of Han Group, whom she knew was Han Qing. And the dress was sent by an anonymous person tonight.
Could it be… that Han Qing, who was famous for his indifference and self-control?
As soon as she thought of this, Zhao Yiru’s mood immediately became turbulent. If Han Qing really bought the dress, does this mean that he was the one who gave it to me? This was quite unexpected, as she thought that the person who gave her this was just an ordinary person who liked her; she didn’t expect it to be Han Qing.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yiru cleared her throat and said directly, “I’ll tell you the truth—actually, this skirt was not ordered by me. Before the start of the event today, I received news from the clothing brand that this dress was bought by someone else at a high price. I was shocked to hear that, as I was worried about what I was going to wear on stage later. But, after a while, an anonymous person sent this dress over. To tell the truth, I don’t know the person who bought this dress before you told me about this. It was given to me by an anonymous person.”
When she said that, Zhao Yiru’s eyes had a smug look.
Everyone there felt a little wistful upon hearing that.
“Could it be that this skirt was actually given to Zhao Yiru by Han Qing, the president of Han Group?”
“No way! I heard that Han Qing hasn’t taken any liking to any woman until now! Why is he suddenly treating Zhao Yiru differently?”
“Could she be lying?”
The more this topic was discussed, it became more heated.
At first, everyone thought she was wearing a counterfeit, so they looked down on her. But now, they found that she was not wearing a counterfeit, but that someone else bought her the dress in full amount. The most important point was that this person was the president of Han Group.
In North City, there was not a single soul who didn’t know about Han Group!
Hence, many people suddenly became envious when they looked at Zhao Yiru.
The spotlight of the day was completely taken away by Zhao Yiru as many people rushed to get the microphone in front of her.
“Could you share how you met Han Qing, Yiru? Such an eligible person has gifted you a dress—does he fancy you?”
Zhao Yiru smiled shyly and answered softly, “I’m not sure about this. If you want to know, you can ask him yourself.”
“Yiru, can you tell us about your mood right now? Are you excited or?”
“My mood? Well, I would like to thank President Han for giving me this dress. I-I like it very much.” Zhao Yiru smiled shyly and looked at Lin Xinghuo with a smug look in her eyes.
At first, Zhao Yiru almost went mad when she saw the dress on Lin Xinghuo.
I have already torn the dress apart. But why is she wearing a better-looking and more outstanding one? Before they switched focus to Zhao Yiru, a lot of reporters flooded in front of Lin Xinghuo.
However, beautiful things would always become vulnerable to public opinion.
The people from the jewelry brand realized that the point of this event had been distorted, so they cleared their throats and said, “Everyone, I know you care about the private lives of the celebrities, but today is the press conference of our company, so I still hope you can pay attention to all the jewelry on Miss Zhao. The questioning session is over now. Next, Miss Zhao and Miss Lin, please go to the center of the stage to take some pictures.”
Zhao Yiru smiled and nodded. “The host is right. I hope everyone can pay more attention to the brand.”
“How fake! Bleh!”
Yan, who was in the audience, scoffed Zhao Yiru fiercely. “This person is really disgusting. Don’t tell me that she really thinks that Han Qing was the one who gave her the dress she’s wearing! She doesn’t deserve it at all!”
Han Muzi was also a little confused. After all, she hadn’t expected that this was how everything would turn out today.
“What’s going on?”
Leng Yueyue held Yan’s arm with a sullen expression on her face. “I also want to know what is going on. Look at Han Qing—how is it possible that someone like him will fancy Zhao Yiru? And…”
She glanced at the slender man with a strong aura beside Han Muzi and couldn’t help gulping hard.
The scene where Han Muzi fell into his arms just now really frightened her, since the man was Ye Moxuan…
