To Love You Again

Chapter 229 - Xiong Zhi\'s gift (II)

If they only knew what was behind that joyful smile.

Xiong Zhi simply stared at Xiong Wuyue with a faint smile in return. She did not say anything.

Seeing that she did not talk, Xiong Wuyue got even more exhilarated. But she still kept on an innocently happy expression.

"Please bring a scissor."

As soon as Xiong Wuyue said that though, Xiong Zhi took a step forward, still with a faint smile, as her cold eyes looked at Xiong Wuyue.

"Are you sure you want to open it right now?"

Xiong Wuyue triumphantly lifted the corner of her mouth into a smug smile for a split second, before it immediately turned to an innocent and excited smile.

"Of course! It\'s your gift after all. I really want to see it and show it off to everyone," she said, emphasizing the phrase \'show it off\' maliciously.

The world would witness just how despicable of a bitch Xiong Zhi was. People would then side with her, Xiong Wuyue, the poor victim targeted by the bitch.

She saw Xiong Zhi frown slightly.

Seeing her frown, coupled with her earlier act of trying to stop her, made Xiong Wuyue tremble in excitement all the more.

Her guess was right! Xiong Zhi must have put something malicious in this box!

Overwhelmed with excitement, she no longer waited for a pair of scissors from the attendants. She impatiently used her nails to tear off the wrap in a rather wild manner.

She wanted everyone to see just how she was bullied by this bitch! Today was the day that this bitch would be isolated by the society and get branded as the crazy woman who brought a disgusting gift to humiliate her cousin in the middle of her birthday party!

That would be the best story ever!

Xiong Wuyue almost destroyed the box.

Xiong Zhi, watching the other at the side, silently clicked her tongue. \'How unsightly.\'

In her eyes, Xiong Wuyue was no different from acting like an overexcited beast right now.

The box was tightly secured. Her nails were not enough to open it.

An attendant came forward and handed her the scissors.

Xiong Wuyue took it impatiently and hurriedly cut off the ribbon and the tapes on all sides.

She licked her lips as she excitedly lifted the lid of the box.

But she was stunned at the first thing she saw.

"..."

It was a bright color of gold.

The snakes, or disgusting things she was expecting despite all dangers, were nowhere to be seen.

The brilliant golden thread was so exquisite that Xiong Wuyue immediately knew what it was.

She had been obsessing over that dress ever since she had first laid her eyes on it. That was why she knew with one glance that it was genuinely that dress which she had always been wanting to get, but because of that bitch, she had lost her chance to do so.

If it was given to her by any other person, she would definitely feel excited seeing it as a gift.

But coming from the bitch she hated was an entirely different story.

This delicately woven golden dress with exquisite red rubies embroidered on the chest area was supposed to be a precious gift in other people\'s eyes. But to Xiong Wuyue, it was only insulting, as if her face was slapped directly by the bitch Xiong Zhi.

How she looked so appreciatively at the dress before, was just as how she looked disgustedly at it now that it had been owned by that woman.

Did this bitch think she was giving alms?!

Xiong Wuyue stood shock-still, as she stared frigidly at the dress.

The host who stood beside her gasped in surprise when he saw what was inside.

"Oh my, look at this! This is the one of a kind Golden Time dress! The final dress that was auctioned in IAmFashionista! The most expensive dress in history! With twenty billion worth!" The host was so shocked that he blurted out all the details of the dress.

Hearing the shocked exclamation of the host, the guests all stretched their necks, trying to see the famous dress.

They, too, wanted to have a glimpse of the dress that had left a mark in fashion history.

Xiong De jumped up in shock. He could not believe it.

The dress that Xiong Zhi bid for twenty billion was given to his daughter so freely?!

No, should he be figuring out why this girl who had hated her daughter very much gave such a gift to Wuyue? Clearly, her intentions of giving this gift was not good!

"Goodness, Young Miss Zhi just gave the iconic dress to your daughter? How generous." Even William Grand felt stunned, witnessing such a generous bestowal of gift. Who was so generous to give twenty billion away to someone else? That was like giving away an entire company in a lunch box.

A lot of guests echoed out their surprise as well. This was tens of billions worth of money they were talking about! Even though its original price was only at one billion, which was already a considerable amount, its auction price ended at twenty billion, more than enough to treat the dress as a precious national treasure.

If it was displayed in a museum, a lot of people would surely pay to take a look at it. Not to mention, the dress was too beautiful to the finest details.

The golden color with a splash of red managed to appear noble and delicate, free from vulgarity which was usually associated with such colors. The design of the dress gracefully wraps around the body, and the impeccable choice of shades can make one\'s fair skin look even fairer, adding a distinct glow to it.

Such combination made the dress so mysterious and unique, which made it truly worthy to be the most sought after dress.

Now, that dress was given easily to someone else. Everyone looked incredulously at Xiong Zhi. They did not see any heartache nor reluctance on her face. She seemed to be even smiling!

Heavens! The lady in silvery white dress right now looked like the goddess of wealth.

The audience felt that after this episode, they really need to get acquainted with such a generous person. Such generosity and magnanimity made her worthy to get close to.

At the very least, it added assurance that the person was simply not eyeing your money. Maybe, one can even get more benefits.

Xiong De felt his throat go dry as he saw the guest\'s faces. They all looked at that girl in the silvery white dress like she was a goddess. The spotlight had switched.

\'This is bad.\'

He knew that the situation was turning bad. Then, he looked at the stage abruptly as he recalled something.

He knew the whole story. His daughter had loved this golden dress to the point that she had been willing to spend a ridiculous amount just to get it. But in the end, she lost to Xiong Zhi. He had pacified her with all his effort. He told her that since she had already worn it before, it was just like she was giving alms to Xiong Zhi.

But who knew that those words came back haunting them. With this situation, it was more like Xiong Zhi giving alms to Xiong Wuyue.

He glared at the hateful girl. Under the light, her silvery white dress illuminated her radiantly. She was like a heavenly fairy who had stepped out of a painting. Yet that faint smile in the corner of her lips made Xiong De understand the situation. She was totally mocking them.

He was skilled at setting up schemes. So with one look, he knew what was happening.

It was a set up. He and his daughter were tricked to open the box right here. Xiong Zhi knew well what his daughter would do and decided to set this up. Once the box was opened, praises would fall on her, while his daughter would have no choice but to \'thank\' her for this great gift. It was clearly a scene that would humiliate her daughter.

It might not seem like that to everyone. But to them, the father and daughter duo, that was the case.

Xiong Wuyue\'s knuckles that was tightly holding the lid of the box turned white. Her hand trembled.

\'What. Is. This?!\'

She was not happy seeing this dress at all. She would rather see snakes here instead of this freaking dress that she had painstakingly wanted to get but was not able to!

Xiong Wuyue knew what Xiong Zhi meant by giving this dress to her.

\'I want to kill this bitch!\'
