Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 955: Chapter 955: Lian Qingyang Protects His Sister

Hmph, disdainful of Sister Xiao Yue’s clothes, thinking she could buy some fancy clothes, but compared to the clothes made by Sister Xiao Yue, they’re far inferior.

Jin Yan looked disdainfully at the bright red dress Zhu Jiaojiao was wearing today. It looked decent, but compared to the previous two red dresses by Xie Ni, Zhu Jiaojiao’s dress today was not at all comparable.

The style is trendy, with ruffles making Zhu Jiaojiao gorgeous, but Zhu Jiaojiao’s bust is already full, and with these ruffles, it makes her top-heavy, not very flattering.

If Sister Xiao Yue made the dress, Zhu Jiaojiao would definitely be the most beautiful today.

"What, are you envious that she’s getting engaged?" Lian Qingyang had somehow sat in front of Jin Yan, looking at the food on her plate, and couldn’t help but say, "If you keep eating, be careful not to burst your dress."

"I’m not envious at all." Jin Yan glanced at him, saying, "What does it matter to you if my dress bursts? Rest assured, this fabric is elastic, even if I eat another portion, it won’t burst."

Jin Yan seemed to deliberately defy Lian Qingyang by swallowing the snack in one gulp, her eyes round and mouth full.

"Alright, take your time eating." Lian Qingyang was amused by her, said a few words, and then went to chat with some business people.

He came with a task today.

The Lian Clan branch was established here, naturally needing business networking.

Jin Yan glared at Lian Qingyang’s departing figure, got up and went for more snacks. She couldn’t come here for nothing; the good food on the table shouldn’t be wasted.

Hmm, the fruit wine here tastes nice too.

Jin Yan was completely engrossed in the food; after having a few pieces of cake, she found the taste pleasing, pondering what to eat next?

Is what’s in the glass cup jelly?

Jin Yan curiously tried some, finding it very delicious.

Just as Jin Yan was about to return to her seat, a man stopped her.

Another suitor, Jin Yan quickly dispensed with him without even telling her name. She was quite adept at handling such people, and after getting her food, found her previous seat to enjoy slowly, planning to buy more from the cake shop later.

Soft, smooth with a fruity aroma, Jin Yan really liked this taste.

"Aren’t you the clothing designer? How did you manage to get in?" Mrs. Zhu, coming out from the restroom, spotted Jin Yan eating in a corner. It’s not surprising Mrs. Zhu remembers; what happened that day at the Tang Family had never occurred to her before.

Jin Yan was standing beside Tang Yue at the time and even saw the guests off.

Tang Yue’s remarkable appearance is unforgettable to Mrs. Zhu, and the same goes for Jin Yan beside her; she recognized her instantly.

She looked at Jin Yan’s light purple gauze dress and white shawl; though her long hair seemed casually tied, it looked better than Zhu Jiaojiao’s deliberately styled hair.

The outfit Jin Yan wore today put Mrs. Zhu in a bad mood; was she here specifically to see what her daughter was wearing?

Was there no one else who could make clothes besides their family?

"Mrs. Zhu, this is the Liang Family’s engagement ceremony; why can’t I be here?" Jin Yan stood up, responding neither humbly nor arrogantly.

She came with Lian Qingyang to attend the Liang Family’s engagement ceremony, not the Zhu Family’s.

Moreover, she was indeed a clothing designer, so what, does it mean clothing designers are inferior?

"You’re not here to see what Jiaojiao is wearing, are you?" Mrs. Zhu questioned, eyeing Jin Yan, "Rest assured, Jiaojiao’s dress looks stunning."

"Ha."

Jin Yan laughed in exasperation. Mrs. Zhu must be out of her mind. She pursed her lips, saying, "Mrs. Zhu, what Miss Zhu wears has nothing to do with us. Our studio won’t go bankrupt without your business, so please don’t worry."

With that, Jin Yan turned to leave. She had heard a bit about Mrs. Zhu, a nouveau riche who seemed desperate for everyone to know she was wealthy!

The Gold Necklace around her neck, the gold ring on her fingers, and the big golden bracelet on her wrist were tasteless beyond belief, worried seemingly about people not knowing she could afford gold, not scared that the golden bracelet is so heavy it might break her wrist.

"Stop." Mrs. Zhu’s face darkened, always feeling Jin Yan was here to stir up trouble instead of attending the engagement ceremony.

"What’s going on?" Lian Qingyang saw this situation and strode forward, blocking Mrs. Zhu’s way, standing by Jin Yan asking.

Before Jin Yan could speak, Mrs. Zhu had already asked, "Seeing she has no invitation, I wondered how she got in. Today’s engagement ceremony is grand, and I’m worried something might go wrong."

"I saw her in a clothing studio before; she’s an employee there. Recently, due to some matters, some misunderstandings arose." Mrs. Zhu added.

The implication is: she’s just an employee at a clothing studio, misunderstandings due to some matters, fearing Jin Yan might do something undesirable.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yan was infuriated. She surveyed the gossiping crowd surrounding her; Mrs. Zhu’s ambiguous words made it seem like she did something shady.

"Mrs. Zhu, Xinyue Studio accepts only ten clients a month because the workload is scheduled six months ahead. We made it clear beforehand: one client, one outfit. Yet Mrs. Zhu offered extra money for clothes; the studio may not be large, but it has its principles."

Jin Yan’s firm words echoed, her gaze righteous, "Though I’m just an ordinary employee at the studio, work isn’t divided by status. Does Mrs. Zhu still see people as being divided into hierarchies like the old society?"

"She is with me, does Mrs. Zhu believe me unworthy to attend the Liang Family’s engagement banquet?" Lian Qingyang spoke sternly; Jin Yan had quietly informed him of the cause, and given Jin Yan’s words earlier, his stance against Mrs. Zhu was unwavering.

"Mr. Lian, there’s no need for such harsh words. Your presence at my son’s engagement banquet already brings honor to the Liang Family." Liang Weizhi, the groom’s father today, walked up, smiling as he spoke.

Zhu Decai gave Mrs. Zhu a cold glance before respectfully greeting Lian Qingyang, "Mr. Lian, surely this is a misunderstanding."
