Rebirth: The Ascent of a Socialite-Chapter 551 - 222: A Long-Awaited Date (Part 2)

Indeed, the person who had a heated argument with Sister Mu was none other than Lin Ying, the current hot top model of Asia. She had just finished several shows and was preparing to return home to see her good friend, and also to discuss the unfinished business they had in France.

The meeting between Sister Mu and Lin Ying did not go as smoothly as Su Ziceng had imagined.

When they parted hurriedly in Paris, Su Ziceng only had time to leave an address, which was this "Admiration" boutique located in Zone 5.

Sister Mu recognized Lin Ying, the model at the height of her fame, in a glance. Although she had left the runway, she still enjoyed the tone of a seasoned veteran when critiquing the newcomers. So, as soon as Lin Ying entered, Sister Mu scrutinized her critically, from head to toe, and even commented on Lin Ying herself.

This really infuriated Lin Ying. She did not connect the limping woman before her with the uniquely styled New of the past. There were two reasons: one was Sister Mu’s physical changes over the years, and the other was because, in Lin Ying’s mind, New was the mythic figure on the runway. This attitude of respecting predecessors and having keen insight was in no way attributed to the sharp-eyed, sharp-tongued, and reclusive woman before her.

"Ziceng, was that your new boyfriend just now?" Lin Ying asked, mistaking Su Ziceng’s awkward expression for shyness, and inquired unabashedly.

Su Ziceng knew that Lin Ying’s trip was likely about discussing the North American old fashion brand that they mentioned last time, but at the moment, there were other matters she needed to resolve.

"He is Ziceng’s fiancé," Sister Mu was not as hesitant as Su Ziceng and immediately gave Hang Yishao a label.

"Congratulations, congratulations," Lin Ying cooperated this time.

"Sister Mu, don’t talk nonsense," Su Ziceng hurriedly explained, and seeing Sister Mu’s knowing look, she suddenly realized, "Was it you who went to see Hang Yishao?"

Lin Ying also sensed something fishy.

"I’ve always believed that an old romance must be ended by a new one," Sister Mu stood up, it was no longer early, and it was about time to close the shop.

Lin Ying intended to ask more questions, but upon seeing Sister Mu get up and move toward the door, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You’re New, my god, I just said that New had no taste."

Su Ziceng also curiously looked towards Sister Mu, it was not surprising that Lin Ying did not recognize New at first sight, after all, Sister Mu had been away from the runway for over a decade.

Over a decade may not mean much to many people, but for the highly competitive fashion industry, it’s enough to turn a dazzling diamond into worthless scrap metal.

Sister Mu’s pace with her prosthetic feet, in the eyes of Su Ziceng and the average person, was nothing special, but Lin Ying recognized it immediately when she saw it.

Before Lin Ying became famous, she spent a period of time watching New’s recordings on the runway every day.

"Every time New walks the runway, she first takes a deep breath, chin slightly raised, gaze straight ahead, left foot forward followed by the right, her arms always moving rhythmically with her body, looking very natural," Lin Ying said, watching that steel foot, then looked at Sister Mu, who had suddenly stopped.

Their conversation was not pleasant, as they had completely different views on fashion.

Su Ziceng guessed correctly, Lin Ying came here to discuss with her the acquisition of the North American old label Asipu.

When Lin Ying entered "Admiration," she chatted with Sister Mu for a while, waiting for Su Ziceng to come back. Lin Ying had also seen the clothes of "Admiration" and felt Sister Mu had an eye for fashion and understood it. Also being Su Ziceng’s friend, Lin Ying started discussing the matter with Sister Mu.

However, Sister Mu was unsparing, from the Asipu label itself to Lin Ying the person, she criticized everything as being worthless.

"First off, your expression when walking the catwalk. As a model showcasing clothes, you don’t need to overdo your expressions," Lin Ying always wore a smile on the runway, because she believed that while showcasing clothes, she should also present a positive demeanor to the audience below.

But Sister Mu thought that models were just an appendage of the clothes, and excessive expressions could distract the audience, which was very disrespectful to the clothes themselves.

"Moreover, regarding the Asipu clothes you mentioned, I think they produce nothing but outdated, mediocre products with limited styles, destined to be eliminated from the market sooner or later," Sister Mu then said something that was even more infuriating for Lin Ying.

"So..." Su Ziceng laughed so hard she could barely catch her breath after understanding the initial encounter between the two.

Lin Ying, however, changed her sharp attitude and switched to a worshiping gaze that made Sister Mu’s scalp tingle.

"I’m just being truthful," Sister Mu had no intention of changing her stance because of Lin Ying’s attitude shift.

"If the design isn’t good, just change the designer, that’s simple," Su Ziceng said laughingly.

"Yes, New, why don’t you replace the original designer of Asipu and become the new designer yourself?" Lin Ying eagerly suggested.

"It seems you still don’t understand, I won’t and can’t become Asipu’s designer," Sister Mu flatly refused their request.

Lin Ying’s expression turned gloomy, Su Ziceng thought for a moment and said, "Let’s not talk about this for now, we’ll discuss after I return from Bianjing City."

Su Ziceng understood Sister Mu’s temperament very well, if they couldn’t find the reason for her refusal, it would be impossible to persuade her. (To be continued.
