Wang Jiao was her sister, but their personalities were worlds apart. One was gentle on the outside, but tough on the inside, while the other was smart and capable. Both sisters were in charge of the Wang family’s clothing shop and helped expand it into its current large scale.

Wang Ying said politely, “No matter how beautiful it is, it can’t compare to the exquisite dress Madam Shi is wearing. I heard that my sister got a piece of fabric and sent it to the Shi and Xu families to design clothes. It’s the one Madam Shi is wearing, right? I haven’t seen this fabric yet, so I wonder if I can get a closer look?”

She was indeed a fashion fanatic. In order to admire the fabric, she asked so directly.

Although Liu Lan wasn’t familiar with the Wang family, she didn’t hate them as much as she hated those gossipy women from other families. Therefore, after Wang Ying made this request, Liu Lan didn’t say anything and let Yuan Shu make the decision.

Yuan Shu said politely, “Of course. This is the Wang family’s fabric.”

After saying that, Yuan Shu took the initiative to take a step forward. Wang Ying didn’t touch it and only took a closer look. After looking at it, her eyes couldn’t help but reveal an envious expression.

“This textile technology is really amazing,” she said. “Compared to it, my textile technology is far inferior.”

Liu Lan was surprised. Wang Ying was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and everyone knew about her outstanding weaving skills. Even she said that her skills couldn’t compare to that of Yuan Shu’s gown, so it could be seen how precious this fabric was.

Wang Ying suddenly said, “Mrs. Shi, this dress should have been white, right? It was dyed rusty red in two days and the design is also so brilliant. It can be seen that this designer is very impressive.”

Wang Ying’s praise didn’t seem forced or superficial. Instead, it was a sincere and heartfelt kind of praise that made people feel very pleased.

Yuan Shu said politely, “Miss Wang, you’re too kind. The designer of the clothes is Shi Yi and 1 think she’ll be very happy to hear this, but it’s a pity that I don’t know much about fabric and ruined this good dress.”

Wang Ying shook her head. “No. Gorgeous clothes showcase their greatest value when worn by the right person, and you’ve clearly displayed their full value.”

As everyone was discussing fervently, whispers suddenly sounded in their ears.

Everyone began to discuss. “Look who that is! It looks like the eldest young master of the Jiang family!”

Another person said, “Are you talking about Jiang Chen? The young master of the Jiang family who never shows his face? Oh my god, he never attends such events. We thought that he was an ugly man who didn’t dare to go out, but we didn’t expect him to be so handsome!”

“With his looks, he should be ranked among the top in upper society. He’s even better looking than the three brothers of the Shi family!”

Yuan Shu and the other two looked in the direction of the door as everyone discussed.

Jiang Chen appeared in a white oriental suit. His figure was tall and his clothes were well-tailored. There were unique cufflinks on his sleeves, and his pure white clothes made him look even more handsome and elegant.

It was already dark outside. The crescent moon hung in the dark blue night sky, and Jiang Chen’s gown, which shone with a layer of silver light under the refraction of the moonlight, was as dazzling as the bright moon under the night sky.

Liu Lan had seen Mu Zhou before, but Mu Zhou had never dressed so elegantly. Moreover, his identity at that time wasn’t Jiang Chen, so when she saw Jiang Chen at the door, she looked at Yuan Shu in surprise and asked, “He’s Jiang Chen?!”

After Yuan Shu nodded, everyone was shocked.

After Wang Ying took a closer look at Jiang Chen’s gown, she turned around to look at Yuan Shu’s clothes. Then, she asked with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, your clothes are made of the same fabric as Young Master Jiang’s clothes, right?”

Yuan Shu couldn’t help but admire Wang Ying’s sharp observation skills. She only knew that the other piece of fabric had been delivered to Xu Zhi, but she could tell that the two clothes were the same piece of fabric just from the texture of the fabric. It was obvious how talented she was.

Yuan Shu thought that with Wang Ying’s strength, if she lived in the ancient era, she would definitely be a high-level tailor who specifically made new clothes for the emperor..
