2322 Twins
The fresh design diluted the luxury of the pearl necklace, but it did not lose its original elegance. It blended all the characteristics very well.
The design alone was attractive enough. Now that he saw the real pearl jewelry, Mr. Lance even forgot to think. He held his breath and only said after a long time, “Perfect! Perfect!”
“As long as you like it!” Qiao Weiyang said with a smile.
Mr. Lance put the things away, then looked at Qiao Weiyang and said, “Q, I plan to submit your jewelry to the International Jewelry Design Competition. I wonder if you have any objections?”
“Will I be participating directly? I’m not prepared.”
“There’s no need for you to make preparations. Didn’t you just randomly choose one of your designs in the preliminary round of the fashion competition and enter the finals? It’s not a problem to send this design directly to the finals now. Why do you think I urged you to design something? I just don’t want to see your talent buried!”
“I see.” Qiao Weiyang laughed and looked at Mr. Lance, “In that case, it would be impolite for me to decline. I’ll have to trouble you to arrange it.”
“It’s no problem at all. I’m an amateur when it comes to clothes, but I’m a professional when it comes to jewelry! If you send this one over, it definitely won’t be a problem.” Mr. Lance was very confident in Qiao Weiyang and said with a smile.
When she came out of the manor with Tao Huan, Qiao Weiyang looked relaxed.
Tao Huan asked, “Sister Weiyang, what did Mr. Lance tell you?”
“Nothing, we were just talking about a jewelry design competition,” Qiao Weiyang said calmly.
Tao Huan stuck out her tongue. “You’re too amazing. Qiao Jierou can’t even take care of herself in one competition, yet you’re participating in two competitions without saying anything?”
“Should you even be comparing me to her?” Qiao Weiyang knocked her on the head.
“Yes, yes, yes. I shouldn’t compare you to her like that.”
The two of them drove out together and arrived at the entrance of a duty-free mall.
Qiao Weiyang smiled and said, “Go ahead and shop. I have something to buy. You don’t have to accompany me. Go enjoy yourself.”
“Okay!” Tao Huan said quickly.
“Wait, let him go with you,” Qiao Weiyang said to the bodyguard.
Tao Huan hesitated for a moment. “What about you?”
Qiao Weiyang didn’t tell her that she still had two hidden bodyguards. She smiled and said, “I won’t be far away. The driver can just follow me. You’re going to shop. The bodyguards can interpret for you so that you won’t be cheated by others.”
“Thank you, Sister Weiyang. I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Qiao Weiyang watched her quickly disappear into the crowd and smiled.
It wasn’t easy for an assistant like Tao Huan to go abroad. Before she left, Qiao Weiyang heard her take calls from many friends and family members. They wanted her to buy many things for them at the duty-free shop.
Qiao Weiyang had specially reserved this time for her so that it would be convenient for her to shop.
Qiao Weiyang also looked around for a while and bought some things for Xiao Bao and Jingyun. She was done very quickly.
She was about to look at something else when she saw Qiao Jierou and Lin Heng walking over together. She felt unlucky. Why did she meet these two people when she was out shopping?
She turned around and was about to leave when Qiao Jierou stopped her. “Sister!”
Qiao Jierou had been looking for Qiao Weiyang for a long time but couldn’t find her. Seeing her here, she immediately seized the opportunity and quickly walked over.
“Sister, we’ve been looking for you for a long time.” Qiao Jierou stood in front of Qiao Weiyang and blocked her.
Lin Heng also walked over quickly and sized Qiao Weiyang up. He saw that she was wearing a simple white shirt and a pair of clean jeans. She looked as pure as a female university student who had just graduated from university. Her gaze was cold and relaxed, as if what had happened in the past two days had not affected her at all.
“Why are you looking for me? To defend your rights?” Qiao Weiyang asked in amusement.
Berlin was so big, yet she could still meet them. Qiao Weiyang knew very well what these two people were up to.
She glanced at Lin Heng lazily. So many things had happened to Qiao Jierou. Had Lin Heng never doubted Qiao Jierou’s character?
Even now, looking at him, he still seemed to trust Qiao Jierou very much. He even looked like his heart ached for her.
Was he not suspicious at all?
She was staring at Lin Heng as though she was looking at something funny. It was a little unnatural. Qiao Weiyang’s gaze was always like this, making him feel like a useless fool in her eyes. It was embarrassing.
The guilt and love he had for Qiao Weiyang had also faded a lot.
“Weiyang, that’s not why Jierou is looking for you,” Lin Heng said. “Why don’t we find a place to sit down and talk?”
Standing in this busy duty-free shop, Lin Heng felt that it was not a proper place.
“There’s no need to be so pretentious. I don’t have much to say to you anyway. If you want to say something, just say it here. Don’t delay my shopping.”
Qiao Weiyang’s distant appearance became even colder.
Lin Heng could only say, “Don’t blame Jierou for what happened last night. It has nothing to do with her. It’s all Roman’s fault. You also know that Roman didn’t get along with you back in Qiao Group. She hasn’t been able to hide her jealousy for you since long ago. Next time, I’ll bring her here to apologize to you. Today, I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
“Since she was in the wrong, there’s no need for you to take her place. What identity do you have to apologize on her behalf?”
Qiao Jierou immediately said, “Sister, Roman is from our family’s company, and Brother Heng and I are… So Brother Heng is actually apologizing to you for me. I’m sorry. I believe you can understand, right?”
“What do I understand? I understand that Roman slandered me, framed me, and destroyed my reputation in front of the other contestants at the banquet dinner. Do you want me to excuse all the harm that has been caused to me with a simple sentence? Why don’t you give it a try? After being slandered, can you casually let the matter go after receiving an apology? How about that?”
Qiao Weiyang looked at Qiao Jierou coldly, her eyes full of mockery.
“Sister, that’s not what I meant…” Qiao Jierou immediately softened her voice. “How should I make it up to you? As long as you ask and as long as I can do it, I’ll do my best. Sister…”
Qiao Jierou had always been good at retreating in order to advance. Qiao Weiyang didn’t want to argue with her and said lightly, “There’s no need to apologize. I won’t accept it. You should just go far away from me.”
“Sister!” Qiao Jierou still didn’t know where Qiao Weiyang stayed. How could she go farther away?
