Chapter 959: 0931 Are you so free?
Upon hearing this, Li Sheng silently looked up at her, then lowered his head and pursed his lips.
There were six people in their group, yet Chu Xiyao only greeted Wen Jichen and Mo Shangjie, completely treating her and Yin Xiner as if they were invisible.
She knew that Chu Xiyao had always looked down on them a bit. Of course, she didn’t care if Chu Xiyao greeted them, but such behavior really made people feel a little uneasy and repulsed.
Mo Shangjie and Mu Linhao gave a slight nod as a greeting, after all, the two families had so dealings with the Chu family, ignoring them would be inappropriate. As for Wen Jichen and Li Xu…
They didn’t even spare a glance from start to finish, let alone nod or greet.
Chu Xiyao understood their deanor and didn’t mind. She smiled and continued talking with Mo Shangjie, giving off an impression that they were indeed here for her.
“Look, these four big shots really ca for the Chu family’s Miss. Quick, take photos!”
“This Miss from the Chu family really is sothing. Not only from an extraordinary family, but her capabilities are also exceptional.”
“CE has been a top luxury brand in Country A. With the support of these four, it might just take center stage at this year’s Paris Fashion Week!”
“That’s not certain. I heard the champion of the World Designer Competition, R, has also launched her brand, Queen, and is participating in this fashion week. The outco is still unknown…”
“She’s the woman who’s won seven consecutive championships, unbeatable worldwide. Who in the design circle doesn’t call her sister?!”
“Why hasn’t R arrived yet? This mysterious woman, I’m really curious about her!”
So, for whom exactly those people ca is still an unknown!
Though Paris Fashion Week is a global fashion event, the brands invited each year are the usual ones. Even though each edition features new designers, none have made significant waves, creating a monotonous feeling over ti.
Paris Fashion Week hasn’t seen fresh blood in a long ti.
So when R won her seventh consecutive championship and announced the creation of her brand, Queen, the Paris Fashion Week swiftly extended an invitation.
After all, whether it was Queen’s opportunities at that ti or the sales with the brand, they were unmatched, not to ntion Queen’s popularity in luxury and noble circles.
Paris Fashion Week wanted to inject fresh energy, create montum, and heat up discussions; inviting Queen, at the center of attention, was the best choice.
Sure enough, once the news of Queen’s invitation to the fashion week broke, elites from all over the world flocked to Paris. For capitalists who prioritize interests, the primary goal was to seek cooperative opportunities, with entertainnt being secondary. Undoubtedly, this Paris Fashion Week was the best opportunity to seek business alliances.
Like a domino effect, more and more people went to Paris, and the circle expanded. The Paris Fashion Week, which was supposed to be an entertainnt show, suddenly beca a gathering of elites and dignitaries.
Although it has always been a veritable gathering of fa and gain!
“You all are still too naive. You think Paris Fashion Week is just a simple fashion show? It’s not. Paris Fashion Week has always been a ga of capital struggle. Whether it’s the fashion, entertainnt, or any other circle, it’s always capital controlling everything! While Queen may be famous and invincible now, it’s just a new brand without any background. How can it compete with brands that are inherently capital?”
“It’s no longer an age where talent and ability are the only things that matter. Without a background or backing, no matter how capable you are, it amounts to nothing!”
So people have different views, and although others don’t want to agree, they have to admit it’s the truth!
And with these discussions, it seed as if everyone already foresaw Queen’s fate.

On the red carpet, Chu Xiyao was still chatting with Mo Shangjie and others, and she took the opportunity to introduce Josie Martin and a few others to Mo Shangjie.
Upon hearing, Mo Shangjie looked indifferent, “Are you the youngest daughter of the Martin family? The exclusive model for CE?”
Josie Martin raised her chin confidently and said:
“That’s right!”
Mo Shangjie glanced at her, “So, are CE’s models always this free? Not preparing for makeup backstage and still have ti to linger on the red carpet!”
Josie Martin’s face changed slightly, followed by a wave of embarrassnt.
“Lingering on the red carpet” is quite common at fashion weeks. So people stay on the red carpet to increase their fa and exposure. It’s not unheard of.
She disdains such actions and has never done it. With her background and status in the modeling world, does she even need to loiter?
They didn’t intend to stay long on the red carpet, only lingering because of Chu Xiyao greeting them. Now, being said like this, it really seed as if they were deliberately loitering.
Chu Xiyao’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise because Mo Shangjie, though always nonchalant, was always polite and gallant in front of her. To be so straightforward and disgraced soone was a first.
“Shangjie…”
“Miss Chu, I’m busy!” Mo Shangjie interrupted her, his voice slightly cool.
Chu Xiyao’s face showed a hint of shock, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said apologetically:
“Sorry, it seems today is not a day to reminisce, I’ve wasted your ti.”
“Hmm.”
Mo Shangjie didn’t refute, instead, he responded blandly. Even with Chu Xiyao’s calm composure, her face was sowhat embarrassed.
“Brother Mo, Brother Mo, let’s hurry and find my sister-in-law!”
Li Sheng really didn’t want to listen to their idle chatter anymore. If this continued, they’d end up loitering on the red carpet too.
“Okay, hurry, let’s go!”
Mo Shangjie’s face, like the weather in June, imdiately brightened with a smile. He grinned, showing a mouthful of gleaming white teeth, looking utterly cheerful.
“Sister Xiner, are you coming?” Li Sheng asked Yin Xiner.
Yin Xiner’s face stiffened, she turned her head to look at the man beside her.
The man wore a sharp suit, stood tall and straight, with deep, tranquil eyes. His handso face showed no expression, exuding an aura of noble elegance, mixed with a hint of coldness. Clearly close at hand, yet seemingly out of reach!
Seeing the man like this, Yin Xiner felt a trace of inexplicable panic. He did nothing, not even showing an unusual expression, but an unease gnawed at her heart.
When did this unease begin?
Probably… since that woman returned to the country!
Yin Xiner forced a smile.
“You go ahead. I’m not feeling well, so I won’t go.”
Li Sheng didn’t insist. Hearing this, he just nodded, then pulled Mo Shangjie towards the door, with their conversation faintly trailing behind.
“Sis, does your Brother Mo look handso today?”
“Handso!”
“Will my sister-in-law be happy to see ?”
“You’re not Big Brother Fu, why would my sister-in-law be happy to see you?”
“… Please go easy on ; we’re still good friends.”
“Do you want my sister-in-law to be happy to see you? Should I chat with Big Brother Fu first?”
“No, no… I’m just joking, can’t a little buddy be more magnanimous?”
“I’m not a little buddy, so I have no magnanimity!”
“…”
The two quarreled as they walked ahead and Li Xu followed closely behind. Chu Xiyao watched their departing backs with a cold gaze, her ethereal aura evaporating, replaced by an icy fierceness.
She wore a smile that inexplicably sent shivers down the spine, and the curve of her lips seed like a sharp blade, both sharp and bloodthirsty.
Even Josie Martin, who was initially indignant, swallowed back her words upon seeing Chu Xiyao’s expression.

Those anticipating R’s appearance on the red carpet were bound for disappointnt, as Su Ran went straight to the backstage without the intention to walk it.
Though today was predominantly for Nan Shuyun and Zhou Ziyi, and with Han Ying and Chu Ling’s assistance, Su Ran was not interested in walking any red carpet.
She stood by the side, observing the bustling figures, offering occasional advice, then turned to the person beside her.
“I thought you couldn’t make it in ti.”
