Chapter 17 Who said this is just a few bucks worth of street goods?
Lu Zhi controlled the aura of the heartthrob buff within a suitable range, attracting enough attention, and then quietly lined up at the back, ready to go in.
At Lin Zhier's urging, Qin Huaizhi had already brought Madam Qin into the banquet hall.
Soon it was Lu Zhi's turn.
She took out the invitation from her handbag, handed it to the doorman, and was about to go in.
Lin Zhier came out again and stopped Lu Zhi: "Wait a minute."
Lu Zhi looked at her quietly: "What?"
Lin Zhier smiled at her kindly. "Don't worry, I'm not trying to embarrass you. It's just that the dress you're wearing... doesn't seem quite appropriate."
Lu Zhi raised his eyebrows and looked at her quietly: "What's inappropriate?"
Every gesture and movement is full of intoxicating charm.
The doorman next to her was getting redder and redder in the face, and he avoided looking at her.
Most of the men standing behind Lu Zhi also focused their eyes on Lu Zhi.
She was so dazzling, and after being carefully dressed up, she looked like a gem carved by God, which could shine brightly without the need for light.
A hint of jealousy flashed across Lin Zhier's eyes, but the smile on her face became more polite and gentle. "Zhizhi, this banquet is very grand. In order to prevent you from being laughed at, and to take care of the experience of other guests, I can't let you go in wearing a dress worth hundreds of dollars."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
A few hundred dollars?
The female guests couldn't help but stretch their necks out of curiosity.
They were just discussing that everyone was wearing Western-style strapless dresses, and it was clear at a glance that they were all high-end, custom-made gowns from different luxury brands.
However, they didn't know what kind of fabric the cheongsam Lu Zhi was wearing was made of, and they had no idea about it.
But when she wears it, it looks particularly classy and beautiful.
They never thought that Lu Zhi would dare to attend a banquet of this scale wearing clothes worth only a few hundred dollars.
Many rich young men and young ladies in the crowd had already started whispering.
"Whose lady is this? Why is she so rude?"
"You dare to come to the banquet wearing clothes worth a few hundred yuan? No wonder Miss Lin stopped you. This is such an insult to the Lin family."
"She's so beautiful and has such an outstanding temperament, how could she be so uneducated?"
"No, it doesn't look like that to me... The texture of her clothes doesn't look like something you can buy for a few hundred dollars, right?"
"No, it looks a bit like the work 'Rose Sea' that was just exhibited at some exhibition..."
Lin Zhier smiled apologetically at everyone and looked at Lu Zhi: "I have a spare dress here, do you want one?"
She did prepare a dress for Lu Zhi, but it was out of season and it would be embarrassing for her to go in.
Lu Zhi stared at Lin Zhier quietly. "Ms. Lin, is this how you treat guests? You're just saying bad things to them?"
Lin Zhier looked at her in confusion: "How did I throw dirty water on you?"
Lu Zhi: "You said my dress cost a few hundred yuan, where is the evidence?"
Lin Zhier was somewhat helpless: "Zhizhi, how can you, an ordinary person like you, afford such a luxurious dress?"
"Huai Zhidu told me that you don't have a penny and haven't asked them for help, and..."
Lin Zhier was a little embarrassed: "My friends saw you buying clothes that day. It was a small street shop selling cheongsams. The price of a piece of clothing ranged from a dozen to several hundred yuan. You really can't go to the banquet hall."
After these words were spoken, the people behind him suddenly realized.
No wonder she came here wearing a cheongsam.
They are familiar with the haute couture dresses and new dresses of the season from major foreign luxury brands and can definitely recognize them at a glance.
By wearing a cheongsam, aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that they don't know much about cheongsams and can't name the brand?
It's quite a bit clever.
What a pity, he is so uneducated.
She didn't even consider the occasion and offended them by wearing such a shabby dress.
Everyone's eyes looking at Lu Zhi gradually became less friendly.
A hint of pride flashed across Lin Zhier's eyes.
She knew what a proud person Lu Zhi was.
The eldest daughter of the Lin family, who used to be so high and mighty, is now being stopped at the door and humiliated. How can this feel bad?
This is just the beginning.
"Who said this is just a few hundred yuan worth of street goods?" A clear female voice sounded, with a hint of indignation.
Everyone's attention was attracted.
Lu Zhi curled her lips, and a strange color flashed across her eyes, like a red rose stretching in the wind, her every frown and smile could easily stir people's hearts.
Lin Zhier couldn't help but lose her mind, and quickly turned her eyes away in disgust, looking at the person who spoke.
Not far away, a pretty girl got out of a luxury car and helped an old lady in the back seat get out.
Seeing the people getting off the bus, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
The Lin family is so powerful that they can even invite this giant Buddha!
The person who came was the old lady of the Fu family, Shen Ruyun, the real boss who had retired behind the scenes.
Nowadays, almost all the people in the imperial capital, whether they are in politics, business, or military, or in high positions, have pursued Shen Ruyun in the past.
Although the old man of the Fu family plucked the flowers in the end, now any old man who is still breathing in the imperial capital, those old generation who can make the imperial capital tremble with a stomp of their feet, who would not give Shen Ruyu some face?
She spoke in the imperial capital, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it an "imperial edict"!
but……
Didn’t I hear that this old lady and old man went to live in seclusion abroad for their retirement?
How did you get here?
He even attended the Lin family's banquet?
Lin Zhier widened her eyes, her eyes full of surprise.
She hurriedly responded, "Hello, Grandma Fu! You're here too, without even telling me in advance. I'll ask Dad to get ready!"
Shen Ruyu was accompanied by a little girl who looked like the legendary girl with outstanding design talent, Shen Ruyu's last disciple.
Lin Zhier turned to look at Lu Zhi again, seemingly scolding him in a low voice: "Back off! You dare to come out and bump into people wearing clothes worth a few hundred yuan? Don't blame my dad for calling you a jinx later!"
When Lu Zhi heard the word "jinx", a sinister look flashed across his eyes.
Sure enough, old acquaintances can reveal scars more accurately.
The girl next to Shen Ruyun looked at Lin Zhier unhappily, "What are you looking at? The cheongsam she's wearing is my master's final work this year, 'Rose Sea.' How come it's just a few hundred dollars in the eyes of you, the Lin family?"
The little girl was indignant: "Open your eyes and look carefully. The rose design on my chest was carved by my master for over two years. He searched countless mines to collect rubies and hired the world's top sculptor to create this gem rose."
Lu Zhi heard the little girl's words clearly, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
This is the final work designed by Madam Shen Ruyun herself!
That is a priceless treasure!
In a public auction, the highest price of a cheongsam designed by Shen Ruyun reached 78 billion!
It has been collected by the National Museum of Milan and exhibited in the museum as an intangible cultural heritage...
Generally speaking, the prices of Shen Ruyun's cheongsam works at public auctions are relatively lower.
What are truly priceless are those cheongsam pieces that have not been publicly auctioned. They are really not something that ordinary people can afford!
I didn't expect it to be worn by this little girl.
It was a close call. They were almost led astray by the ignorant idiot from the Lin family and bumped into Shen Ruyu!
When everyone looked at Lin Zhier, their eyes were instantly filled with condemnation.
