In the blink of an eye, two days pa.s.sed, and it was the day of Director Lis film premiere. Probably afraid that Chi Shuyan would forget, Xie Mingxuan specially called her the day before and said that he would personally pick her up the next day.

Chi Shuyan wasnt interested in the entertainment industry or the press conference, but she was familiar with Director Li, Xie Mingxuan and the others. They had invited her several times, so she couldnt refuse.

But on the day itself, she was still at a loss. Although she wasnt in the entertainment industry, she still knew that it was a mix of good and bad, from showing up to support someone else, wearing formal attire and walking the red carpet, to all sorts of scandals.

After Chi Shuyan thought about it, she felt that she was a n.o.body. She wasnt going to walk the red carpet, nor did she want attention, so she could just wear casual clothes.

So, when Xie Mingxuans car stopped in front of the villa, Chi Shuyan was dressed in casual clothes. Her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look even younger, like a high school student.

It had been a while since she last saw Xie Mingxuan. After meeting again, Chi Shuyan felt at first glance that Xie Mingxuan had matured a lot. His high-end suit accentuated his good figure and made him look especially attractive.

He wasnt that good-looking, but he was very das.h.i.+ng.

Chi Shuyan was Xie Mingxuans fan, and couldnt help but take a few more looks.

When Xie Mingxuan saw Chi Shuyan, he was also slightly stunned. He felt that time was really magical, and that Master Chi in front of him was especially magical. After not seeing her for a while, not only was her skin fairer, her little face had also become even better-looking. Her features were really exquisite, and no matter what she wore, she stood out.

If Xie Mingxuan hadnt seen Master Chis abilities with his own eyes, who would have thought that such a young lady would actually be an extraordinary expert?

Xie Mingxuans attention was quickly drawn to Master Chis casual clothes. He saw that she was dressed simply; she probably didnt have any makeup on.

The corners of Xie Mingxuans mouth twitched. He felt that Master Chi looked more like she was going to study than attend a film premiere.

But her features were really exquisite and her skin was really smooth and tender. Even without makeup, she still beat all the female celebrities in the entertainment industry in terms of looks.

Chi Shuyans senses were sharp, and she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xie Mingxuans gaze. She couldnt help but ask, Is there a problem?

Xie Mingxuan thought for a moment before he said honestly, Master Chi, were going to attend the press conference for Director Lis film. You may have to dress up!

Chi Shuyan understood what Xie Mingxuan was saying. She wanted to say that she was just a n.o.body, so it was fine if she didnt dress up.

However, it was Director Li and Xie Mingxuan who had invited her this time. To some extent, she represented them, and she would definitely be seeing other people later. It wouldnt be good to embarra.s.s them, so it was better to go with convention. She knew how to put on makeup a little, but she didnt have any formalwear.

Chi Shuyan regretted it a little. If she had known it would be so troublesome, she would have firmly refused to go to the press conference or whatever. As for returning the favor, she could just use talismans.

But she didnt have anything on hand right now; where could she find makeup and formalwear?

Xie Mingxuan saw Master Chis dilemma and was about to speak, when Chi Shuyan thought of Qi Yunchang, Qi Zhenbais cousin.

Yunchang was a famous socialite in the capital, so it was probably very normal for her to wear formal dresses to gatherings.

To be honest, Chi Shuyan wasnt familiar with her. Besides, given her current awkward relations.h.i.+p with Qi Zhenbai, it wasnt good for her to take the initiative to look for the Qi family.

But when she thought of how Qi Hao had said that the old man wasnt well, she remembered that she had washed some tea leaves with spiritual energy in the last two days. She had been prepared to send them to Grandpa and to take a look at him.

She had to visit the Qi family anyway, so she might as well do it now. If it really didnt work out, she could just ask Qi Hao to help her get a dress.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment before she asked Xie Mingxuan, How long before the press conference starts?

Xie Mingxuan replied, Its still several hours early. Including the red carpet, itll probably be in five or six hours!

Chi Shuyan immediately said, Just tell me the location of the press conference. Ill go over myself in five or six hours. Ill tidy up first, so dont wait for me. As for walking the red carpet, forget it. Can you find someone else to go with you?

Xie Mingxuan shook his head. The others have already arranged to leave together, but if you really dont want to walk the red carpet, Master Chi, I can walk alone!

Chi Shuyan really wasnt interested in walking the red carpet, but after listening to Xie Mingxuan, she rubbed her forehead. In the end, she couldnt stand him up and let him walk alone, so she could only say, No, Ill walk the red carpet with you. I have a friend who should have a formal dress I can borrow. Ill contact you then?

Xie Mingxuan wanted to say that he knew a high-end clothes shop and could take her there, but he remembered that the dresses there were extraordinarily expensive, even for a rental. He really didnt have the money now, so he couldnt be generous. In the end, they arranged for him to pick her up at four in the afternoon.

Chi Shuyan nodded in agreement.

After Xie Mingxuan left, Chi Shuyan wanted to contact Qi Yunchang. However, they hadnt interacted much before, and she didnt have Qi Yunchangs number. She could only call Qi Hao and ask for Qi Yunchangs number. She also went back inside the villa to pack up some things before she took a taxi to the Qi residence.

Qi Hao was feeling bored out of his wits when he received the call. He heard from his sister-in-law that she was on her way to the Qi residence, and she asked if Yunchang and Grandpa were there. Qi Hao couldnt help but be curious. Sister-in-law, is it an emergency?

Chi Shuyan didnt hide the matter and told Qi Hao that she had to dress up in order to attend a film premiere.

Qi Hao replied, Sister-in-law, is that all? I can help you with that. Why do you need Yunchangs help?

Qi Hao felt that his cousin was very likable, but he was afraid that she would take his place in his sister-in-laws heart, so he immediately took charge and said that he would take full charge of this matter.

Although Chi Shuyan didnt believe in Qi Haos taste, she still decided to trust him after some thought. She nodded and said, Okay, are you at the Qi residence now? Ill go look for you. By the way, is Grandpa in?

Qi Hao immediately said, Sister-in-law, yes, yes Grandpa is at home, and so am I. Ill wait for you!

After hanging up, Qi Hao immediately sent a message to his cousin:

Cousin, Sister-in-law is coming to see me!

His tone was as smug as could be.

The other party didnt reply for a long time. Qi Hao quickly sent a message on WeChat:

Cousin, Sister-in-law said that shes going to attend some film premiere and has to dress up. Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you want to see her in makeup and a gown? Do you want me to take a beautiful photo of her for you and send it to you?

There was still no reply; his cousin was probably busy.

Feeling a little like he had been thwarted, Qi Hao couldnt be bothered to talk nonsense with his brother. He flipped through his contact list and found someone to help him find a very famous makeup artist to come and do his sister-in-laws makeup. He also asked another party to prepare a perfect, high-cla.s.s gown.

The other party immediately agreed respectfully, but Qi Hao had to provide the size.

Qi Hao simply estimated the size and sent a photo of his sister-in-law. Of course, her face was pixelated. If his cousin knew that he had sent his sister-in-laws photo to another man without concealing her face, he would probably kill him. It was better for Qi Hao not to take the risk.

After arranging everything, Qi Hao waited for his sister-in-law to come.

Speaking of which, neither he nor his cousin had ever seen his sister-in-law dressed up. He was too curious about how she would look dressed up.

Qi Hao thought about it and felt that his cousin would be dumbstruck no matter what.

When he contacted the person who would be providing the gown, Qi Hao repeatedly emphasized that the gown had to be perfect, unique and stunning; these requirements simply made the other party want to curse.

Chi Shuyan was in a taxi at that moment, and didnt know how domineering Qi Hao, this rascal, was being. She didnt think much about the dress, and just hoped that it was something formal enough. She didnt care at all. After all, she wasnt the main lead, and was just a n.o.body. It was fine as long as she didnt embarra.s.s herself. She didnt ask for much.

Soon, she arrived at the Qi residence. Chi Shuyan got out of the car at the gate. The gate of the Qi residence was always heavily guarded. There were many guards at the gate, and ordinary people would have to repeatedly be checked and have their fingerprints taken when they entered.

Chi Shuyan was a regular visitor to the Qi residence, so there was no problem with her entry. It was just that the gate was a little far from the villa. After walking for a long while, she called Qi Hao and said that she had arrived. When she reached the villa, she saw familiar faces. Who else could it be, but Grandpa and Qi Hao?

Qi Hao was supporting the old man, and the two looked like they were about to go out. Chi Shuyans eyes lit up, and she called out with a bright smile, Grandpa, Haozi!
