Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1499: Chapter 879: Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe / Feng Tianzhi’s True Intent

Yue Qin’s fingers brushed over a few bright red outfits, and she couldn’t help murmuring, "I... I’ve never worn such beautiful clothes before."

"There’s an even prettier set coming in a bit." Luo Ye said as she walked over, lifting the phone in her hand. "Xiao He just called me, Feng Tianzhi is bringing over the Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe."

"Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe?"

"Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe?"

"..."

The few of them all widened their eyes in surprise.

"That’s right, it’s the Phoenix Crown and Phoenix Robe..." Luo Ye nodded with a smile. "I’m guessing it’s Grandma Qi’s doing. Back in the day Grandma Qi was a real noble lady from a big family, and she’s very handy with crafts."

"Really?" Luo Lian’s eyes instantly lit up. "Given where Grandma Qi is from, it should be Han Embroidery. I’m crazy about Han Embroidery, but I’ve never come across it.

For next year’s fashion show in Paris, I want to use Chinese style as the core element, so I especially hope to have a Han Embroidery master join in."

"Even if Granny Qi knows how, think about her age—can she really join the team?" Luo Ye rolled her eyes at her. "At most she could just teach you the You Needle Embroidery Technique, right?"

"That’s fine too." Luo Lian’s face was full of longing. "As long as Granny teaches me, I should be decent enough by the time of the show."

Luo Ye just nodded. "True, as long as it looks passable, it’s fine. Foreigners don’t understand Han Embroidery anyway."

"Screw you, this is just my last-resort solution, okay?" Luo Lian smacked her in annoyance. "Relax, I’m not going to use crude needlework to embarrass our people."

"Lianlian, take better care of your health, look at you..." Luo Ye stroked her cheek with some distress. Ever since she’d regained her senses, Luo Lian had turned into a textbook workaholic. Except for occasionally going back to the Qiao Family to be with her relatives, she spent all her time at the studio—she was practically becoming part of the studio’s backdrop.

Luo Lian gave a brilliant smile. "Design gives me a sense of achievement. I love that feeling. Luoluo, don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

When she was working, she was always so confident and bright. But at other times, she would still often drift off, looking completely lost. Maybe fully recovering really just needed time. Luo Ye didn’t dare push her, and changed the subject. "I still don’t know where Granny Qi’s phoenix crown came from. That thing is a real rarity."

Xing Nong nodded in agreement. "Right, I wouldn’t have thought of it if you hadn’t mentioned it. That thing is really hard to find nowadays."

"There must be some in opera troupes."

Xing Nong rolled her eyes. "Yao Yao, Granny Qi isn’t an opera singer."

"Can’t someone who’s not in opera buy one from an opera troupe?"

"Where are you going to find an opera troupe in that tiny village?"

"Didn’t Luoluo say Granny Qi used to be a young lady from a wealthy family? Maybe back then Granny Qi thought the phoenix crown was rare and bought it."

"Please, would a rich family’s young lady do something like that?"

Seeing the two young ladies arguing so energetically, Luo Ye helplessly made a stop gesture. "Let’s wait till Feng Tianzhi brings it over and we take a look before arguing. Those things from opera troupes and the real deal are definitely different."

"That’s true." The two of them said in unison.

Luo Lian looked at them speechlessly. "Hey, I’m not as fragile as you think. You don’t have to put on this little act just to cheer me up."

"Who’s acting?" Xing Nong rolled her eyes. "That’s honestly what I think."

Yao Yao immediately nodded. "Me too."

"You two..." Luo Lian pointed at them, at a loss for words. They’d just been arguing till their faces were flushed, and in the blink of an eye they’d joined forces—and they say they’re not acting to make her laugh? But since she knew they meant well, she just let out a soft sigh. "Relax, I really am better now. Truly better."

"But your condition..." Xing Nong looked at her, full of worry. "Look at you, your cheeks have sunk in from being so thin."

"Really?" Luo Lian checked herself carefully in the mirror, then gave a soft laugh. "Being bony makes clothes look better."

Ying Nuo rolled her eyes and pouted. "You’re way too bony. If Grandma Qiao sees you like this, she’ll definitely feel so bad she’ll cry."

"Grandma..." Luo Lian’s eyes went slightly red. "She really does feel bad for me, but unfortunately I keep making her worry."

Luo Ye wrapped an arm around her and patted her gently. "Since you know that, adjust yourself properly. The elders are all getting on in years, their mood really matters."

"I know." Luo Lian forced a small smile. "I’ve been trying hard to adjust myself. If worrying about me makes their health deteriorate, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life." She thought for a moment, then added, "Zhan Ping is coming over sometime soon—did you know?"

"No." Luo Ye shook her head. "I just saw Zhan Hao yesterday and he didn’t mention it. Looks like Zhan Ping only wants to see you. We should probably make ourselves scarce."

"I’m really torn..." Luo Lian gave a soft sigh. "I honestly don’t have strong feelings for him, but sometimes I really enjoy the way he comforts me and chats with me. Ugh, even I think I’m too selfish."
