The Mafia's Crybaby Wife-Chapter 116 - Full of Confidence

The finals drew closer day by day.

The organisers had done a fantastic job promoting the event, and both Lu An’an and Gu Anning saw their popularity skyrocket.

Lu An’an had even received several custom orders from interested parties.

Gu Anning also saw her fair share of interested clients thanks to the organiser’s aggressive advertising.

Having successfully appropriated Lu An’an’s design drafts, Gu Anning was in high spirits. That, along with her recent increase in popularity, made her quite smug.

“You didn’t experience any hiccups this time, did you?” Han Ziyuan raised her concerns upon seeing how confident Gu Anning looked.

“You’re overthinking things,” Gu Anning said with confidence, “No matter how careful Lu An’an tries to be, there’ll always be times when she slips up. Most people wouldn’t do things the same way twice; I doubt she would expect me to use the same trick again.”

Although Han Ziyuan felt a little uneasy, Gu Anning’s words did make sense. “It’s the finals. If Lu An’an discovers her design draft has been stolen, she wouldn’t be so calm.”

“There are still ten days before the competition. Ten days is enough for you to make the prototype,” Han Ziyuan shot Gu Anning a look of disdain, “You’d better be careful. Don’t let Lu An’an make a fool out of you.”

“Don’t worry; no one knows what I did. They won’t discover anything amiss until it’s too late. This is a loss Lu An’an will certainly suffer.”

“How’s the search for a tailor going?”

“I found an old tailor at my place. Don’t worry; he’s an old man who used to weave embroidered cheongsams. I paid him a lot of money to help me make the prototype.”

Han Ziyuan nodded.

She looked down on people like Gu Anning, who had no real talent. Yet, beggars could not be choosers, and thus she had no choice but to use someone like her to go up against Lu An’an.

Only the dumb were easy to manipulate.

Soon, it was the day the finals were to take place. 𝒇r𝙚𝙚𝓌𝙚𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝗲𝘭.c૦𝑚

The media were all present, waiting for an opportunity to snap their pictures and spin their stories.

News channels and the papers were full of reports on the finals, while the Internet buzzed with speculations.

Debates regarding Lu An’an and Gu Anning’s abilities grew heated.

Many people thought that although Gu Anning’s previous work was mediocre, the work of the Goddess of Flowers showed that Gu Anning had talent and potential.

Others believed that Lu An’an was the truly talented one between the two. After all, Lu An’an’s works thus far had been nothing short of spectacular.

Outside of the judges, various media and fashion bloggers were also present.

Lu An’an could feel the charge in the air even before the finals officially began.

“Lu An’an, are you ready?” A staff member asked. “You can get changed if you’re ready.”

Lu An’an smiled. “May I confirm that the finals will be broadcast live?” ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

“Yes, it will,” the staff member responded. “It will be broadcast worldwide, so everyone, not just those at home, can share in the event’s glory. It is the biggest event to date that the fashion industry is hosting. Many famous designers from all around the world are paying attention to this event.”

Hearing the member of staff say this, Lu An’an was relieved.

When he saw Lu An’an smile, the staff member could not help but say, “It seems Ms Lu is confident she’ll secure this year’s championship.”

Lu An’an bowed her head, a faint smile on her lips, “Victory or defeat lies in each person’s hands. It’ll come down to whose flaws are the most obvious.”
