Chapter 165: 134. No Comparison; No Harm Done

Mu Yazhe leaned like an emperor on the sofa. His haughty and suppressive presence permeated every corner of the shop.

“Do you think I’m lacking that one billion?”

Everyone did not get what he meant at first but eventually realized that, indeed, as the sole heir to the massive fortune of Disheng Financial Group, he could keep or sell whatever he wanted. Disheng Financial Group was prominent not just in the capital but also on the Asian market. That one billion was nothing to him.

Han Yuyan was astonished to learn something about the Mu family. She knew that they were one of the richest in the capital but did not realize the extent of their power.

In comparison, the sullen-looking Shao Dong, who was standing next to her, was nothing at all.

She bit her lower lip in frustration at her lack of foresight and could not help but feel jealous of Mu Wanrou.

Shao Group was a laughingstock next to Mu Group.

Gu Xingze and Yun Shishi were floored by Mu Yazhe’s domineering provocation.

Even Qin Zhou, with his typical viciousness, could only sigh helplessly; he knew Mu Yazhe too well.

Mu Yazhe was out to challenge Gu Xingze.

Gu Xingze’s face turned a shade darker; a chilly look flashed across his usually calm and collected demeanor.

He knitted his brows tightly and turned to face Mu Yazhe. Both men stared at each other; the atmosphere was charged with explosive.

“Director Mu, this gown is displayed in the shop, yet it is not for sale. What’s the meaning of this?”

Mu Yazhe arched his lips into a graceful smile and slowly stood up. “To sell or not to sell, it’s my prerogative. No one can interfere with my decision.” The room was once again charged by his commanding presence and tyrannical action.

Gu Xingze’s eyes were full of hostility, and his muscles turned palpably rigid. As he was about to speak, Yun Shishi tugged at his sleeve.

He was startled into looking down and saw her pleasant smile. She calmly told him, “Xingze, thank you for your kindness, but I think I’ll return the gown.”

“Don’t you worry; the dress suits you—”

“I still prefer the gown that Qin Zhou and you have selected earlier… I really like that evening gown in pure white,” she gently cut him off with a shake of her head.

When Han Yuyan heard this, she laughed mockingly. “Hmph. EMPRESS belongs to the Mu family. Of course, it is up to Director Mu to decide whom he wants to give the dress. He adores Young Mistress Mu, so why should he give the gown to a nobody?”

These words were hurtful to Yun Shishi’s ears for no apparent reason.

Mu Wanrou… is his fiancée. Of course, he won’t give up that one-of-a-kind pretty gown to others.

Still… Why was there a stuffy feeling in her heart?

Yun Shishi gave a self-deprecating laugh.

What is there to question? He evidently loves his fiancée. Would he do this if that were not the case? I’m just a nobody to him!

She actually did not mind not wearing the gown. It was glamorous and would definitely attract attention to her during the gala. However, she was just a newcomer with no decent background to boast of or a film to showcase. Such unwanted attention would only bring her trouble in the future.

She was not a vain woman, so people’s attention was not important to her.

Yun Shishi walked toward the changing room with a carefree smile. She gracefully held the gown’s hemline as she made her way across the room. Her steps were firm and her back was upright without signs of despondence or clumsiness. Her serenity actually made Mu Wanrou and Han Yuyan feel ugly and embarrassed. They stood at the side, waiting to see how she would run back to her shabby house in tears after their humiliation or plot her next move to take advantage of the situation. However, either did not happen…

Yun Shishi’s calmness highlighted the viciousness and hypocrisy of Han Yuyan and Mu Wanrou.

Shao Dong’s eyes were full of admiration as he watched Yun Shishi walk away. He was deeply shaken.

She was destined for doom earlier as no one could protect her dignity before Mu Yazhe. Unexpectedly, she was able to walk away from the situation without a hint of shame…

Yun Shishi was not Mu Wanrou. She was not rich, but some women were like this; they had innate aristocracy and elegance that were hard to replicate.

Mu Yazhe watched Yun Shishi from behind with narrowed and unreadable eyes.

He could not fathom her intention.

He wanted to send her into a helpless state with his humiliation, but she maintained her gracefulness from start to finish. She was incomprehensible.

Unhappy. He was very unhappy.

The woman was not as easy to control as he had thought.

Mu Yazhe admitted that he had thoroughly humiliated and embarrassed her because she submissively hid behind Gu Xingze’s back earlier. Before him, she was like a fully armed kitten that had its sharp claws out to defend against him.

He might seem indifferent most of the time, but he was actually a control freak. He had hidden his real nature well.

He had an inherently tyrannical nature, which would not tolerate any defiance, yet he just had to meet an equally domineering woman.

He pursed his lips into a thin line as his gaze turned unfathomable.

Alan felt bad for Yun Shishi and followed her into the changing room. With his help, she changed into the former evening gown, altered her hairstyle, and replaced her elegant accessories with simple ones. Feeling guilty, he carefully applied another set of makeup on her.

Since the outfit was simpler and more delicate, her makeup would naturally need adjustment to go with it.

The gorgeous makeup on her face was replaced with a light one. When Alan looked into the mirror, he saw Yun Shishi’s extraordinary face.

Her features were already distinct and beautiful. Under his topnotch manipulation of the makeup, she looked even more stunning.

Yun Shishi stood up and smiled at Alan, who could only marvel inside, What an extraordinary beauty. She actually doesn’t need any outfit or maquillage to accentuate her looks. Even in a plain white dress, she is already gorgeous.

When she stepped out of the changing room while holding the hemline of her dress, she was once again the center of attention.

The wonder in Gu Xingze’s eyes was even more apparent.

Little Yichen, who was now sitting on Mu Yazhe’s lap, was stunned speechless. At the side, Shao Dong stared at her with amazement.

Han Yuyan was astounded and jealous. Yun Shishi had such inherent beauty and grace. Why was she so blessed by the heavens?

Mu Wanrou had a perplexed look on her face as her eyes shone with malevolence.

Yun Shishi walked toward Gu Xingze and Qin Zhou and smilingly asked, “How is it?”

“Excellent! Beautiful; really beautiful! Shishi, you look good in anything. You are a natural coat hanger!” Glancing at Han Yuyan, Qin Zhou could not resist digging further. “Hmph. No matter how beautiful the clothes may be, just like a certain someone here, some people can only be accessories! There’s no competition at all!”

Han Yuyan could only fume inwardly at his words. Despite being mocked, she could not retaliate. Qin Zhou might only be an agent, but he was an ace in Huanyu Entertainment and had access to multiple resources and influential people. She could not afford to offend him.

Gu Xingze chipped in, “Qin Zhou, you’ve got good taste. This outfit is beautiful!”

“Shishi looks good in any outfit!” His assistant was still marveling at Yun Shishi’s natural beauty.

She replied with a smile, “Oh, no. Agent Qin really has good taste.”

“Oh, my. Your words are as sweet as honey and bring delight to my heart!”

Gu Xingze’s infuriation dispersed as he looked at her. He turned to address Alan, “This is good; bill it to my account.”

Alan nodded and took a careful glance at Mu Yazhe’s face.

Somehow, Director Mu seems to pay extra attention to this newcomer?

Mu Yazhe was looking down without paying attention to Yun Shishi. It seemed she was someone nondescript to him.

Alan pursed his lips. Could he be mistaken? He had a hunch that Director Mu was particularly concerned about this woman, yet he seemed to be indifferent toward her right now.

A man could be inscrutable, especially someone like Mu Yazhe.

Up to when Yun Shishi left with Gu Xingze, he did not look in her direction.

Mu Wanrou quickly instructed Alan to pass her the gown Yun Shishi had taken off and hurriedly stepped into the changing room. She was full of anticipation to see how she might look in the dress.

She originally did not like the gown.

She preferred royal purple compared to rose red.

However, Yun Shishi looked so good in the gown that… it attracted his attention.

That naturally made her unhappy.

In what way… does she deserve to be so outstanding?

She had to show them that she looked equally stunning in the gown! She could not wait to prove this to everyone.

Soon, she pompously came out of the dressing room in the gown. She was thinking inside that she was more stunning in it than Yun Shishi.

She waited for their praises with her jaws held high, but all eyes dimmed a little, instead, as they looked at her.

Even Han Yuyan almost burst into laughter.

It was so tacky.

The elegant evening dress seemed a little gaudy on her body.

Bringing out the classiness in an outfit was up to a person. An ordinary being would be unable to look good in such a glamorous gown.

Yun Shishi looked so good in it, while Mu Wanrou became an accessory to it.

For a moment, the atmosphere was silent and cold.

Han Yuyan knew how to take stock of the situation and immediately quipped, “Young Mistress Mu, you look so good in that outfit!”

The compliment was so cheesy even Little Yichen detected the insincerity in her words.
