After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 132 - : Does She Have an Ace Up Her Sleeve?
Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Does She Have an Ace Up Her Sleeve?
Lu Zhaozhao looked at her haughty demeanor, with a faint smile still playing at the corners of her mouth.
“I hope, Designer Li, you’ll still be as certain shortly.”
Li Feite looked at Lu Zhaozhao puzzled, a clear wariness in her eyes.
Does she have some sort of trump card?
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao’s calm and composed appearance, she began to feel somewhat uneasy.
“Although it’s not very nice to do so, the designer of my dress is also here at the welcoming banquet today…”
...
Li Feite’s complexion changed slightly—had she bribed the designer of this gown?
That’s not right, other designers might be bought, but Alice, the designer of this dress, with her rigid personality, would definitely not admit to a design that wasn’t hers just for money.
This one-to-one counterfeit gown was made by her own hands, so outsiders couldn’t tell the real from the fake—I don’t believe Lu Zhaozhao could spot it.
Even if Alice, the dress’s designer, came, it wouldn’t affect the outcome.
With this thought, Li Feite completely relaxed again.
Soon, designer Alice, who had been on the periphery, came over.
Seeing everyone gathered here, she raised her delicate eyebrows, her face full of confusion.
“Alice, this designer claimed my dress is a counterfeit, so I had no choice but to ask for your help…”
“What?!” As soon as Lu Zhaozhao finished speaking, Alice’s expression immediately darkened.
She turned her head following Lu Zhaozhao’s gaze and saw Li Feite’s face.
Almost instantly, she gave Li Feite a displeased glare, “Li Feite, how dare you slander my design in front of so many people? Do you have a complaint against me?”
“I…” Li Feite was startled and quickly waved her hands, “I didn’t say the dress you designed was a counterfeit, I said the one Mrs. Song is wearing is a counterfeit!”
Alice’s lips twitched, her words almost forcibly squeezed out between clenched teeth: “That dress was personally tailored and modified for Mrs. Song by me!”
She treated her design work as her life—how could she allow anyone to trample her reputation in front of her?
“How is that possible?” Li Feite furrowed her brows, looking incredulously at the dress on Lu Zhaozhao.
It was at this moment that Song Sinian spoke up slowly, “Zhaozhao’s dresses are all personally selected by me, including this evening gown. However, she didn’t want to hurt the feelings of the person who gifted her the original dress, so I had the original designer create a similar version with modifications.”
“!!!”
For Li Feite, Xiao Jinglan, and Song Keren, this was like a bolt out of the blue!
All the arrangements they had made were to bring Lu Zhaozhao down at this event.
They never expected to lose because of Song Sinian’s possessiveness!
Old Master Song, seeing Li Feite’s shocked look, also began to understand the implications.
Clearly, this person was deliberately sent to cause trouble, targeting Lu Zhaozhao.
A shadow crossed Old Master Song’s face as he looked coldly at Li Feite, “Designer Li, you just insisted Zhaozhao’s gown was fake without even a thorough examination. Don’t you think you owe the Song Family a reasonable explanation? Otherwise… I guarantee on behalf of the Song Group that you won’t live a peaceful life ever again!”
“””
…”
Li Feite noticeably shrank back.
Looking at the current situation, she realized the possibility of working for Song Group was gone.
If she didn’t tell the truth now, she might even lose her life.
She pursed her lips, “Yes, Someone paid me to say these things on purpose…”
Seeing this, Xiao Jinglan immediately became anxious.
Could this woman be about to spill everything, including involving her?
“Dad! There must be someone jealous of our Song Family, probably trying to find fault with us. We absolutely can’t let them have their way!” Xiao Jinglan said, then to the bodyguards nearby, “What are you standing there for? Get her out of here now!”
Mr. Song naturally sensed Xiao Jinglan’s urgency and glanced at her, about to speak out to stop her, when he was held back by Lu Zhaozhao’s hand on his arm.
“Grandpa, let Lady Xiao handle this kind of thing.”
She smiled slightly and gently patted Mr. Song, successfully causing him to give up on pursuing the matter further.

Although Mr. Song didn’t understand why Lu Zhaozhao wanted to do this, he was willing to go along with his beloved granddaughter-in-law.
He sighed softly, “You, you should investigate a bit. What if there’s a mastermind behind this?”
When Mr. Song said this, he intentionally spoke loudly, causing Xiao Jinglan to feel even more panicked, afraid that the next statement might cast suspicion on her.
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes curved in a smile, “My evening gown was delivered by Lady Xiao, so the first one to be cleared of suspicion is definitely Lady Xiao. She would never let anyone tamper with my gown.”
Seeing Lu Zhaozhao actually speaking up for her at this moment, Xiao Jinglan hastily nodded in agreement.
“That’s right, that’s right, Zhaozhao is the treasure of our Song Family, how could I possibly tamper with her evening gown?”
Xiao Jinglan had never thought that one day she would be so grateful for Lu Zhaozhao’s folly.
If someone else had said it, Mr. Song might not listen, but when Lu Zhaozhao said it, it was different.
Because Sinian now listened to everything Zhaozhao said, and Mr. Song indulged Sinian without limits, so it looked like this issue might just be brushed under the carpet without further mention.
Xiao Jinglan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Zhaozhao speak again, “It is obvious that this person targeted the brand’s designer, so it’s very likely that the real piece was switched out with a fake during delivery.”
As she said this, she immediately turned her head to Alice, “Could you please help check Lady Xiao’s and Keren’s gowns, too? Just in case they were also duped…”
Lu Zhaozhao’s hesitant expression was filled with visible concern, truly moving everyone present.
It had not been long since the incident of wearing a counterfeit had happened to her, and without making a scene, she was actually worried about others.
Designer Alice, deeply touched, nodded, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Song, I can definitely help with such a small matter.”
Song Keren, who was already upset that Lu Zhaozhao had not been humiliated, exploded when her dress was suspected to be a fake.
“The gown I’m wearing was custom-made especially for me by my mother. It cannot possibly be a fake, and there’s no need to check!” Song Keren frowned unhappily, speaking out without a filter.
Standing next to her, Xia Wenjin naturally echoed her sentiment, “Exactly, Keren is the daughter of the Song Family. It would be a laughing stock for her to wear a fake.”
While saying so, she pretended to affectionately adjust the strap on Keren’s shoulder.
“Rip—”
