Chapter 106 Shen Yao and Liang Muchao playfully fight
Shen Wancheng spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Another thing is that I haven't chosen my engagement dress yet. I want to wear a dress that you made yourself. Firstly, because I really like the clothes you made, and secondly, there will be media at my engagement party, which would be a great publicity opportunity."
"That's true."
Lan Qin thought for a moment and then said.
"Wouldn't that wedding dress from the competition be perfect?"
“I considered it, but in the end I felt it was too formal. If I wear this to my engagement, what will I wear to my wedding?”
Lan Qin countered, "Then are you considering this as your wedding dress?"
“It’s your masterpiece, and I would certainly be willing to do so if you wish.”
"Okay, okay, okay." Lan Qin said "okay" three times and said with a smile, "Of course I'm willing. I made this wedding dress according to your figure and temperament. I believe that only you can bring out its full brilliance."
Lan Qin's statement can be interpreted in a Western way as Shen Wancheng being her muse.
Shen Wancheng was naturally delighted to receive such praise from a traditional craftsman.
"Thank you for your kind consideration."
“You deserve it,” Lan Qin continued. “Before your wedding, I’ll also make a men’s suit for Gu Jinxing to match you, so he won’t hold you back.”
Shen Wancheng smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Hearing that Lan Qin was going to make a set of clothes for Gu Jinxing to match Shen Wancheng, but hadn't considered her, Shen Yao pretended to make a fuss.
"Me? Me? I'm my sister's bridesmaid. Bridesmaids also have to wear dresses."
Lan Qin readily agreed, "Okay, okay, I'll do them all."
Shen Yao started egging Lan Qin on with her mouth before she even thought, but after Lan Qin agreed, she then refused.
“I was just kidding. You’re getting old, and making several sets a month would be too much work. Besides the main wedding dress, my sister also has a toast dress, and those definitely need to be the best. You’ll definitely have to make them.”
Shen Wancheng said, "We can have Ms. Lan's disciple do it. With Ms. Lan overseeing it, it won't be bad."
Shen Yao's eyes lit up. "That would be a good idea."
"Since you've all thought of everything for me, I gladly agree."
"I came here to order my wedding dress, but I ended up arranging my wedding attire first. Ms. Lan, do you have any suitable ready-made dresses?"
"No, I haven't made clothes in years. Even if I had some designs, they would be too conventional and wouldn't suit you. I see that the engagement date is still half a month away, so I can make them in time."
Shen Wancheng sincerely thanked her, "Thank you for your trouble."
“You said we’ll be cooperating more deeply in the future, so we’re practically family. Why be so polite?”
"Okay. Then it's settled."
Lan Qin's competition dress has been made, and Shen Yao no longer needs to stay at the Lan family.
Shen Wancheng and Shen Yao left after having lunch at the Lan family's house.
It takes an hour to get back to Central from the Lan family home. Shen Wancheng dozed off in the car for a while, but she wasn't sleepy anymore once she got to Central.
Shen Wancheng was in a hurry to find a model. She thought that Xu Pingtao was too old to pay much attention to the entertainment industry, so she called Gu Jinxing.
She asked Gu Jinxing to help her find someone in the entertainment industry so that he could introduce her to good models.
What Shen Wancheng didn't know was that Gu Jinxing's understanding of the entertainment industry was actually no more than Xu Pingtao's.
However, Gu Jinxing's friend Liang Muchao, a "second-generation rich kid," knows about it.
Gu Jinxing happened to have a very important meeting today and couldn't leave to accompany Shen Wancheng to choose people, so he called Liang Muchao to go with them.
Liang Muchao drove himself to Shen Wancheng's residence to pick her up.
Shen Yao's eyes lit up the moment she saw Liang Muchao's car.
It was a red Ferrari sports car with sleek lines, its bright red body gleaming in the sunlight.
The first person Liang Muchao saw was Shen Wancheng, and he rang the bicycle bell in a very flamboyant manner.
After rolling down the car window, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know that Shen Yao was also there, and that Shen Wancheng was followed by a female bodyguard.
His car only has a front passenger seat, no back seat, and can only carry one person.
However, Shen Wancheng didn't want to make things difficult for him. She didn't want to ride in Liang Muchao's car at all, as it made her feel very unsafe.
After the three greeted each other, Shen Wancheng spoke directly.
"I'll take another car."
After saying this to Liang Muchao, Shen Wancheng went to find the He family's driver who was waiting downstairs at any time.
Liang Muchao asked Shen Yao, "Is it alright to let your sister ride in a car alone? You won't be angry, will you?"
Shen Yao opened the passenger door and got in.
"will not."
"That's good. Buckle up, let's go."
"Your car is really cool!"
"That's right, I really went all out for it."
"What huge investment?"
"I stayed at home obediently for half a year, acting as my dad's sidekick. I was so bored."
Shen Yao chuckled.
Thinking to himself, this person is no different from those纨绔公子弟 (spoiled young masters) of ancient times.
Liang Muchao was taking Shen Wancheng to TVB television station.
Liang Muchao drove fast and arrived before Shen Wancheng.
After parking the car, he and Shen Yao stood downstairs at the TV station and waited.
At that moment, a large group of people, all very fashionable young women, gathered downstairs from the TV station.
Shen Yao asked Liang Muchao.
What are all those people doing gathered there?
Liang Muchao glanced at it, but didn't seem to care much.
"It should be the Miss Hong Kong pageant preliminary rounds this year."
Miss Hong Kong Island preliminary selection?
Shouldn't Shen Mei be among those people?
Shen Yao was curious about what Shen Mei looked like now, so she searched among those people but didn't see her.
Seeing that she was looking at her carefully, Liang Muchao asked, "You also like looking at pretty women?"
"Is it strange? It's not just you men who get to feast your eyes on pretty women."
“It’s not surprising. I just think you can just look in the mirror; you don’t need to look at them.”
It took Shen Yao a moment to realize what Liang Muchao meant.
She belatedly realized that her face was burning, and she felt a little embarrassed and annoyed.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that a man her own age had complimented her looks to her face.
"lecher."
Liang Muchao was a poor student who never read books. Now that Cantonese and English were spoken in Hong Kong, he didn't understand what Shen Yao meant by those three words.
What does "Deng Tu Zi" mean?
Shen Yao didn't expect Liang Muchao to be so clueless. She thought for a moment and then said two words.
"rogue."
Liang Muchao objected, his expression exaggerated.
"I was just complimenting you on your looks, how did that make me a pervert? No, you have to apologize."
"I do not."
"I'll beat you up if you don't apologize."
"Heh, why don't you try and see if you can beat me?"
"Are you implying that you know Chinese Kung Fu?"
Shen Yao looked smug. "Hmph, scared now!"
Shen Yao and Liang Muchao stood downstairs at the TV station, laughing and joking.
Unbeknownst to them, the contestants participating in the Miss Hong Kong pageant were also enthusiastically discussing the two of them.
Shen Mei was indeed among these people, but when she saw Shen Yao, she deliberately hid in the crowd, not wanting Shen Yao to see her.
