Chapter 283: Gifting Gowns

Kevin’s efficiency was indeed high. He had someone bring his latest design from M Country to Huaxia, and the next day, the dress was delivered to the
Song residence. However, the one who received the dress was Meng Yu, and
she looked at it in astonishment, “Is it done so quickly?”
To make Meng Xia stand out at the banquet, Meng Yu spent a considerable amount of money to engage a well-known domestic design team. Due to the tight schedule, they could only modify a finished dress, which was still not easily obtainable.
She opened the box containing the dress and saw a gown in moonlight white. She couldn’t figure out what fabric was used, as the dress’s surface displayed different colors with changes in the light, resembling a mermaid’s tail.
“This, this is too beautiful.” She felt a bit jealous and wanted to take the dress out. Growing up in an old and dilapidated neighborhood, she had never had a decent dress. Even though she became Mrs. Song and could wear dresses, with age, her sense of beauty had diminished.
Upon thinking that this dress was for Meng Xia, she felt somewhat unwilling. If it weren’t for her, how could Meng Xia at this age enter high society?
Unexpectedly, before she could touch the dress, the person directly closed the lid of the dress and said coldly, “Sorry, I was entrusted by someone. The dress is intended for Miss Song Fan.”
Kevin had explicitly instructed to deliver it to Song Fan personally, and his subordinates dared not let anyone casually touch his design. Meng Yu’s actions just now had already crossed the line.
Kevin was a globally renowned designer, and even various elite families requested him to design clothes. However, he operated entirely based on his mood and didn’t casually design clothes for anyone.
Meng Yu glared at the other person, saying, “I am Mrs. Song! Can’t I have a look at Fanfan’s clothes?”
Not knowing the details of the Song family, the person thought she was Song Fan’s mother and hastily apologized, “I’m sorry Mrs. Song. I didn’t know your identity. Kevin emphasized multiple times to deliver the dress to Miss Song. He didn’t tell Miss Song to bring the dress over; he wanted to surprise her. I apologize again. As her mother, you can certainly see it.”
The person pushed the dress forward, presenting it in front of Meng Yu once again.
“Kevin? The international designer?” Meng Yu restrained her surprise, trying to keep her tone calm. How did she not know that Song Fan even knew such a famous designer?
“Yes, Kevin should be very good friends with Miss Song. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked me to bring the dress from overseas for her.” The person nodded earnestly.
Meng Yu coldly snorted inwardly and then casually accepted the dress. Thinking that Song Fan hadn’t gotten up yet, she began to plan.
She said nonchalantly, “Fan Fan has been too tired lately, and she hasn’t woken up yet. Since I’m going out soon, I’m afraid I won’t be able to entertain you.” The implication was to escort the guest out. Originally, the person wanted to see what kind of woman made Kevin take notice, but today wasn’t convenient, so he politely left the Song family.
Meng Yu returned to her room happily, cradling the dress. She marveled at
how beautiful it was. As Mrs. Song, she had never seen such an exquisite dress before. It turned out to be the work of an international designer.
“Song Fan claimed to be from the countryside, but she had already prepared a dress early on. She wanted to impress people at the Gu family’s banquet at the thought of it. I won’t lose to you!” Meng Yu, while carefully taking out the dress, spoke with a vicious tone.
The dress had a simple design—a fishtail mermaid-style evening gown with a wave-like pattern adorning the chest.
Although it seemed simple, Meng Yu knew that fabrics capable of displaying various colors with changing light were rare. It might be some high-tech innovation.
She gently caressed the dress, genuinely liking it. Unfortunately, she also knew that, with her height and figure, she couldn’t wear this dress. “Humph, it’s a
steal for Xiao Xia. She better not disappoint me.”
Time passed quickly, and the weekend arrived. Because Kevin was preparing for the international show abroad, Song Fan thought the dress hadn’t arrived yet. She planned to randomly pick one, as she and Gu Chen had different motives for attending the banquet, and she wasn’t aiming for a beauty contest.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chen still sent a dress. Looking at the emerald green satin dress, Song Kai curled her lips, “So old-fashioned? Little sister, it seems that
Gu Chen is getting older. He picked such an old-fashioned dress for you! Look, I’ve already prepared.”
Song Fan looked at the red, logo-covered fluffy skirt in his hand, almost fainting. His aesthetic sense was truly incomparable..
