The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 874 - 0863 has the same thick-skinned attitude!

Zhou Ziyi didn’t respond. To say he wasn’t interested? How could he not be?

As a Hua Country native, Song Chengyun was a genius in makeup and styling.

He was a stylist hired at high prices by many international celebrities, and his works frequently appeared in international fashion magazines.

He had worked on styling for Hollywood and international fashion shows.

He was now the designated stylist for Paris Fashion Week.

Hua Country’s fashion stepping onto the international stage had always been his dream.

First there was Song Chengyun, then there was Su Ran. They both made it happen!

So, they had always been his role models, his benchmarks, and the targets he endeavored to surpass.

But sometimes, reality proves that some idolizations are only fit for distant admiration.

Today’s brief encounter made him doubt whether the person before him could really be the legendary Song Chengyun.

He even wondered how someone with such character could create so many brilliant works.

His work commanded respect, but his character was truly disappointing.

Makeup and styling is a visual art. Can someone who has even forgotten their original intent still create art?

It’s incomprehensible!

And the Song Chengyun in front of him was indeed someone he didn’t want to learn from.

With the shooting time approaching, Song Chengyun stopped talking.

The others were reluctant, but sensibly stepped aside.

Song Chengyun held Josie Martin, and the two were about to go to the makeup room when Josie Martin looked up and saw Chu Ling not far away.

She slightly furrowed her brow, then led Song Chengyun over to Chu Ling with a face full of disdain.

"You’re Chu Ling?"

Chu Ling stared at her coldly, saying nothing.

Josie Martin raised an eyebrow, leaned further into Song Chengyun, and after receiving his indulgent, helpless look, she sized up Chu Ling with disdain.

"So, you’re the Chu Ling who’s still pestering Alex even after he dumped you? I heard you’re the hottest celebrity in Hua Country right now. Truly... meeting you in person is disappointing."

Chu Ling looked her up and down in response.

"Josie Martin? International supermodel? Miss of the aristocratic Martin family from Country A?"

Josie Martin lifted her chin proudly.

"That’s right."

Chu Ling nodded with a mocking laugh.

"So, all the noble ladies from Country A have such manners? Truly... meeting in person is an eye-opener!"

Suppressed giggles came from around them.

Looking indifferent, Chu Ling thought, since she came up to me, why should I spare her any face?

Senseless self-torture?

Josie Martin’s face darkened instantly, "What did you say?"

Chu Ling looked at her indifferently, "Don’t understand Hua Country’s language? Miss Josie is about to become a daughter-in-law of Hua Country, better learn to adapt and learn the language."

"Who’s going to marry into your Hua Country!"

Chu Ling raised an eyebrow indifferently, "Oh? So Mr. Song is marrying into your family? Congratulations to Mr. Song, about to become a noble son-in-law in Country A!"

"Chu Ling!!"

Song Chengyun’s expression was like a shattered glass on the ground!

Though his marriage into the Martin family was an acknowledged fact, it didn’t mean he wanted it to be publicized.

Marrying into the wife’s family certainly hurts a man’s dignity.

Josie Martin was so furious that her chest felt tight, "You... sharp-tongued! Cartier selecting you as their spokeswoman is truly a disaster!"

Chu Ling responded indifferently, "Same to you. However, Miss Josie, if I were you, I would be ashamed seeing me. But you, you’re just like your boyfriend!"

"Like what?" Nan Shuyun asked curiously.

Chu Ling smirked, "Thick-skinned!"

"You..."

Song Chengyun and Josie Martin were left dumbstruck, their faces dark and unable to speak for a long while.

Seeing their ugly expressions and shaking bodies, Chu Ling lifted her chin and turned to Su Ran and the others, "President Su, Shuyun, let’s go!"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow, that’s more like it!

If someone brings their face to you, why not use it as a punching bag?

Su Ran nodded, leading the three to bypass Song Chengyun and Josie Martin and head towards the makeup room.

Josie Martin stood there, gritting her teeth, furious. She turned her eyes to the people watching them.

She remembered these people were the makeup artist, stylist, and costume designer of Cartier’s photography team.

Eyes twinkling, she slightly curled her lips, hatching a plan in her mind.

-

Meanwhile, Chu Ling entered her personal makeup room and immediately let out a big sigh of relief before collapsing into the chair.

Su Ran saw this and couldn’t help but laugh.

"You did well just now. Why are you nervous now?"

Chu Ling shook her head awkwardly, smiling helplessly.

"The aftermath is intense. I didn’t expect to feel so great after confronting someone so fearlessly!"

"Pfft..." Nan Shuyun couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Chu Ling scratched her head awkwardly, her face slightly reddened.

Zhou Ziyi, sitting on the side, looked at the woman in front of him with such a contrast of emotions and felt rather curious.

"You and Song Chengyun really..."

Chu Ling paused, her expression becoming more restrained before letting out a bitter smile.

"Yes! I’m sure many people won’t believe that an unknown girl like me once had a relationship with the famous Song Chengyun."

"That’s not what I meant..." freewebnøvel_com

"I know." Chu Ling shook her head, unbothered.

She sighed softly and then, after a long while, began to speak with a distant look.

"We were high school classmates, then we went to the same university, so we naturally ended up together. He came from a poor family, but he was very hardworking and had excellent grades. His dream was always to become an international stylist, and fortunately, he was very talented in this field and willing to work hard.

But, becoming an international stylist isn’t easy. Training, studying, and various other expenses are high, especially with all the tools and props. His family simply couldn’t afford it, so..."

Here, Chu Ling paused slightly, her face showing a touch of mockery.

Su Ran raised an eyebrow and continued her sentence, "So you volunteered to cover all his expenses?"

Chu Ling bitterly smiled, "Yes, am I very foolish?"

Su Ran nodded, indeed quite foolish!

Men don’t cherish things that come too easily, and girls who give too much tend to be the ones most easily hurt.

She took a deep breath and continued:

"During those four years in college, I covered all his expenses. During this time, his achievements were evident, winning several national competitions. After graduating, he told me he wanted to study abroad, to see the larger world outside, hoping to one day bring Hua Country’s fashion to the international stage!"
