On December 17th, Hai City’s SV Spring Fashion Show lit up the banks of the Huangpu River with a dazzling display, arriving as promised.

Lin Wanwan, holding the invitation from Lu Ying’er, drove her car to the underground parking lot outside the venue and then walked into the inner area.

Today, there were especially many celebrities attending, besides the brand ambassadors, spokespersons, and various people such as brand friends. Many veteran stars without a title but with enough prominence were also invited to add star power.

Though Lin Wanwan held the invitation from Lu Ying’er, this invitation wasn’t obtained through the latter’s status as a brand ambassador but rather thanks to her family, which is why her seat was in the front row, the luxury area.

It could be said that this show was really staged for the wealthy in this area.

With such an invitation, Lin Wanwan naturally received high-standard hospitality.

However, before watching the show, she first went backstage to greet Lu Ying’er.

Chen Jinyu, who works at the same company as Lu Ying’er, was also present; these are all part of the fashion resources, and with Wang Bocheng’s company backing her, Chen Jinyu naturally also secures some benefits.

However, unlike Lu Ying’er, Chen Jinyu didn’t have a private resting room; she was sitting in the waiting hall.

When Lin Wanwan passed through the waiting area, she was keenly spotted by Chen Jinyu, who greeted her with a bright smile.

Regarding Chen Jinyu, although Lin Wanwan no longer regarded her as a friend, a nodding acquaintance was still acceptable.

Seeing Chen Jinyu get up to greet her, Lin Wanwan nodded gently to her but continued walking with Lu Ying’er’s assistant to her resting room.

Lu Ying’er had long finished applying a meticulous makeup, hired makeup artist with a fee in six figures each round, wearing a SV high couture vintage custom dress that perfectly matched her.

This couture was not a loan from the brand but chosen from her mother’s wardrobe.

She looked down on the clothes provided by the brand, not impressive enough to outshine everyone.

Considering Lu Ying’er’s age and income (losing money by pouring resources in reverse), plus the pocket money from home, she was still far from buying couture clothes at her whim.

It’s not that her family can’t afford it, though her mother, as the daughter of the main Lu Family, didn’t receive many shares. The colossal Times Company is also her uncle’s company, unrelated to their family.

And her father’s business is quite far behind in comparison with the Lu Family and Times.

Nevertheless, as the only daughter of the family, she can choose whatever clothes she wants to buy, whether couture or not.

This is also why she can obtain these fashion resources despite her "cold" physique that has little recognition after countless efforts.

The reason she can’t buy it now is due to the relentless card usage rights being tied to the responsibility to obediently return and inherit the family business.

Lu Ying’er enjoys the glamorous life under the spotlight, various roles on screen, rather than doing business, so she would rather have her pocket money squeezed than compromise and quit the circle.

She also learned from her cousin Lu Shouyue, making a deal with the family to start managing at forty, once she’s done playing or fails outside, she’ll return to learn to inherit the business.

Upon seeing Lin Wanwan enter the resting room, Lu Ying’er immediately happily pounced like a little bird on Lin Wanwan, greeting her warmly.

This was her cousin Lu Shouyue’s fiancée, she needs to maintain a good relationship.

The Lu family absolutely won’t accept distancing from the Lu Family, need to be friendly. From a young age, Lu Ying’er was taught by her parents to listen to her cousin’s words; for Lu Shouyue, she has great respect but lacks closeness.

After all, Lu Shouyue is seven years older than her and usually has the persona of a strategist boss, with every three years forming a generational gap, meaning there were two generational gaps between them!

But fiancé Lin Wanwan was different, being of the same age, Lu Ying’er believed they should have common topics.

Though Lin Wanwan and Lu Ying’er were not familiar, the relationship due to Lu Shouyue made them intentionally foster goodwill and naturally there was no unpleasantness.

Lin Wanwan, having experience in interacting with aristocratic ladies, and Lu Ying’er, having been taken to social scenes by her parents since a young age, both were willing to use their emotional intelligence and scored exceptionally in social skills.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Wanwan said her goodbyes, as Lu Ying’er had to prepare for the red carpet later.

SV’s global ambassadors in the Asia-Pacific region included three people, two women and one man—the man was top celebrity Xiao Junning, one woman was a music queen known overseas, and another had just won the Best Actress crown, not very highly trafficked but quite prominent in the film circle.

But the seats arranged by the brand for them were, surprisingly, not better than Lu Ying’er, a third or fourth-tier star just an image ambassador.

This made everyone curious about Lu Ying’er’s identity, with various speculations about her background circulating in the gossip realm. Very few people knew the truth and none publicly declared it.

Lu Ying’er receiving such treatment from SV was not odd, not only because her family was SV’s target customer group but also because her aunt Ye Yinyin owned some shares in SV.

As the show started, Lin Wanwan and Lu Ying’er were seated together, at quite a central position; Lin Wanwan was thoughtful enough to wear a mask. Since many celebrities would be seated in this row, especially with highly popular Xiao Junning present, photos and the hot searches were bound to be abundant.

After Xiao Junning sent Lin Wanwan a message about going out for a meal, there was no follow-up. This time upon meeting, they merely nodded to greet each other. Separated by several seats, there was no space for chatting, making Lin Wanwan feel relaxed.

Talking to big celebrities publicly increases the risk of unexpectedly appearing in hot searches, it’s quite dangerous.

Lin Wanwan was rather bored watching the show, occasionally chiming in with Lu Ying’er, when suddenly a familiar figure seemed to flash across the corner of her eye.

She hesitated with uncertainty, took out her phone, contemplated for a moment, and silently put it back away.

After the show, there would be a celebratory party.

Lin Wanwan initially wanted to leave early, but Lu Ying’er insisted she stay, and thinking about the figure she seemed to have seen earlier, she agreed.

While Lu Ying’er went to socialize, Lin Wanwan casually sipped wine and scanned the area, and the next second, what she saw nearly made her explode with anger—she really did see that figure from earlier at the party—Lu Shouyue.

Beside him stood a foreign beauty with blonde curls.

The beauty was at least 175cm tall, standing very harmoniously next to Lu Shouyue at 188cm.

Each held a glass of wine, conversing happily, though not overly intimate, their actions conveyed a deep familiarity and warmth.

Lin Wanwan hadn’t told Lu Shouyue she was attending the show, and of course, he hadn’t informed her of his plans either.

She drank the wine in her hand and then grabbed champagne from a passing waiter’s tray, downing it in one gulp.

So angry! What now!

She wanted to confront Lu Shouyue but felt doing so would make her seem unreasonable since she never informed him about attending the show.

Thus she could only stew in anger on the spot, almost puffing up like a pufferfish.
