Huo Zheng could not rest assured about Gu Yuwu handling this matter alone. In the end, he told her that if Lin Xiaowan was still being ridiculed and belittled before he went to bed, he would intervene in this matter.
Gu Yuwu checked the time before she said, “Second Young Master Huo, don’t tell me you’re going to bed at 10. There’s only an hour left before 10. How am I supposed to deal with everything within an hour?”
“Figure it yourself,” Huo Zheng said.
Gu Yuwu was speechless.
After ending the call, Huo Zheng went on the Internet and looked at the articles that Gu Yuwu mentioned. There were many comments under the articles. After all, Sang Xiyue had just won an award tonight, and the brand of the dress was very famous.
Soon enough, Huo Zheng saw a comment that accused Lin Xiaowan of wearing a counterfeit dress. The commenter presented various pieces of ‘evidence’ that supposedly proved Lin Xiaowan was wearing a knock-off dress from Athena’s Swan Collection. The commenter even said that the two women were not wearing the same dress since one of them was a knock-off and that Lin Xiaowan had deliberately done this to gain fame.
Huo Zheng’s expression was very dark, and it took quite a lot of effort for him to suppress his anger.
The designer of the Swan Collection had worked with the Huo family many times. In fact, the designer had helped Lin Xiaowan to make custom alterations. In short, the dress was one-of-a-kind. However, that was now being used to prove that Lin Xiaowan was wearing a knock-off dress. It was ridiculous.
At this moment, Lin Xiaowan came downstairs in her furry slippers.
Huo Zheng put his phone down and tried his best to act as though nothing was wrong. He decided to wait for her to sleep first before dealing with this matter.
Lin Xiaowan looked at her phone that was placed at the side. Seeing that Huo Zheng had ended the call with Gu Yuwu, she casually asked, “What’s the matter?”
As she spoke, she walked past Huo Zheng to look for her glass of milk.
Huo Zheng subconsciously wanted to tell her that the call was about work, but he recalled Lin Xiaowan’s previous words. They had promised that they would not hide things from each other. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “She was just talking to me about you.”
He was not lying, but he was not very forthcoming either.
“Oh,” Lin Xiaowan replied nonchalantly. She was just about to ask why they were talking about her when she was distracted by the glass of milk the servant brought over. She asked, “Oh, is that strawberry milk?”
“Yes. Madam, have a taste and see if you like it. The chef made it himself,” the servant said with a smile.
After Lin Xiaowan was discharged from the hospital, the doctor recommended that she take calcium supplements. Apart from taking calcium tablets, she had also been drinking milk every day. She did not have any problems taking the calcium tablets, but after drinking milk for a few days, she had grown sick of it. She did not like the taste of it. As such, she requested for her milk to be flavored.
Lin Xiaowan took a sip and exclaimed, “It’s delicious!”
Seeing how fast Lin Xiaowan was drinking the strawberry milk, the servant said, “Although it’s delicious, it’s still best to drink the milk as it is. Why don’t you drink the milk as it is and have flavored milk once every few days?” “Why don’t we do it the other way around? I’ll have milk once every few days instead,” Lin Xiaowan said, “Can I have another glass of strawberry milk?”
The servant naturally could not say much about this matter. She poured another glass for Lin Xiaowan.
“I’m going to let Huo Zheng have a taste,” Lin Xiaowan said before she left to look for Huo Zheng.
Huo Zheng did not have a taste of the strawberry milk. When he saw the pink milk mustache above Lin Xiaowan’s lips, he kissed her instead.
Lin Xiaowan’s face turned red, and she complained softly, “Why are you like that? What if someone sees us?”
Huo Zheng led her upstairs as he said, “So what if someone sees us?”
Lin Xiaowan glared at him and said, “Don’t forget that you’re pursuing me!”
“Alright, alright,” Huo Zheng said with a hint of helplessness, “Miss Lin, would you do me the honor of having dinner with me tomorrow?”
“Seeing that you’re so sincere, I’ll accept your invitation, Mr. Huo,” Lin Xiaowan said playfully.
“Hmm, aren’t you going to call me ‘Brother’?” Huo Zheng asked teasingly.
“No, I’m going to call you Mr. Huo now,” Lin Xiaowan said.
Huo Zheng was helpless against her. He could only give in to her. After all, he liked her so much.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuwu had also seen the post that accused Lin Xiaowan of wearing a knock-off dress. She was not angry at all. Instead, she laughed at the other party’s ignorance. She was even more amused when the other party also used the white shawl as ‘evidence’.
Gu Yuwu continued to read the comments, and she was surprised to see a few people speaking up for Lin Xiaowan. There were also a few people who asked which agency Lin Xiaowan was from.
[Are you sure it’s a knock-off dress? Why do I feel like that newbie’s dress is better than Sang Xiyue’s dress? In any case, since the dress is from @Athena, I think it’s best if they clarify this matter.]
[If it’s really a knock-off dress, can someone send me the link? The dress and the shawl look amazing! ]
[The photos are so blurry, unlike other photos from tonight’s event that are in high definition. How can you even see the details of the dress from the blurry photos?]
[Oh, I think this new star is very pretty. Who is she?]
[How can you like someone who wears a knock-off dress?]
[Isn’t it obvious that this woman is trying to gain fame from Xiyue’s popularity? @ Athena, give us an explanation! Don’t pretend to be deaf and mute!]
More and more people followed suit and tagged Athena’s official account. After all, Sang Xiyue was the brand ambassador. It was not surprising that her fans asked for an explanation from the brand.
Gu Yuwu stroked her chin as an idea appeared in her mind. Then, she carefully wrote a few posts and posted them.
[Let me make this clear. The Swan Princess in the photos isn’t a celebrity. She’s not in the entertainment industry. I was the one who invited her to the event tonight. Who knew that someone would shamelessly approach us? It seems like that person doesn’t understand the human language and decided to make a scene.]
[By the way, Sang Xiyue, who helped you to take those photos? You took such blurry photos of the Swan Princess, and you only photoshopped yourself. Why? Are you afraid of the Swan Princess stealing your limelight?]
[Finally, the Swan Princess isn’t wearing a knock-off dress.]
Those in the entertainment industry knew that Gu Yuwu was very honest when she spoke. Coupled with her large fanbase, it did not take long before her posts caught everyone’s attention.
With these posts, more and more people came to watch the show. At the same time, they all wondered about the identity of the Swan Princess..
