Yun Bixue nodded her head. As if thinking of something, she turned around to look at the image on his laptop and asked curiously, “Is this the design for the dress?”
“Yes, Mother sent it. This is the formal attire that you will be wearing to attend business meetings.”
Yun Bixue’s drowsiness completely vanished as she perked up. “You even thought of this?”
“I’ve already thought about all these. The dresses will be sent from the headquarters in a few days. You just have to wear it on that day.”
Warmth encased her heart. Xie Limo would always think about everything for her, and she didn’t have to worry about anything. “What would you be wearing?”
Xie Limo tapped a few buttons on the laptop, and the designs appeared on the screen. “These male suits were designed to match your dresses.”
“We come in a package. Since we’re already envied by others, wouldn’t we stand out even more if we were to wear those?”
Xie Limo nodded his head. What he didn’t tell Yun Bixue was that this occasion would also be the time he would be bringing his wife into the public circle. It would help set the foundation to enter Tian Jing City.
The designs that Ji Qiongxin picked for Yun Bixue were all excellent, and she was immensely satisfied with them.
“Stop choosing. Go to sleep first. You can try it on after the formal robes arrive and decide then.”
Yun Bixue blinked and chewed on her lip. “What if I want to wear all of it?”
“Then just change after each meeting.”
Yun Bixue laughed. “Oh my gosh, hubby. You dote on me too much. You’re going to spoil me at this rate.”
“Even if you become spoiled, you’re still my wife.” As he said this, he shut down his laptop before carrying Yun Bixue upstairs to the bedroom.
…
After several days, the entire Ning An City was in an uproar. The list of noble families that would be attending the business meeting was released. It included the four major noble families of Ning An City, and the rest were relatively new small to medium-ranked families.
The Fang family, Xu family, and the others were excluded from the list. It was as though they were blatantly slapped, becoming the laughing stock of the entire city.
The Master of the Fang family stared at the guest list in outrage. He heaved angrily and almost fainted from the blow.
His face flushed red in his fury. The families that he used to look down on and oppressed were invited to the business meeting—they were all stepping on his head.
He couldn’t even breathe properly.
The other noble families didn’t dare to leave their villas as well because if they were to bump into the smaller families, they would feel rather inferior and ashamed.
One day, when Master Ma walked past a bank, he bumped into a family that he used to bully. They mocked, “Master Ma, did you receive your invitation to the business meeting? I heard that ordinary people don’t have the right to enter!”
Master Ma was furious and steaming in rage, but looking at the mocking expressions of the people around him, he could only flee in a rush.
“Look at him. The Ma family wouldn’t last, that’s why they’re not invited.”
“That’s true. I’ve stopped patronizing his shops. I heard that all his products are fake and have bad quality. He should count his blessings just by the fact that his business hasn’t closed down. They lost their rights because they’re incapable.”
“Yeah. Look at that face. Does he think that the Ma family is still glorious like it was before? How shameless.”
“I once bought makeup from his shop and hives appeared on my face. What an evil businessman!”
Master Ma fled away and immediately went to the Fang family to rant his grievances.
Master Fang’s expression hardened. “Brother, don’t be angry and make any move yet. Don’t fall for Xie Limo’s tricks. He did this on purpose just to provoke and spite us noble families.”
