The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More Chapter 123 - Trying on the Gowns

Chapter 123: Trying on the Gowns

“Huh? Hadn’t the engagement banquet been held previously?” Mo Zhu was a little confused and she asked blankly after a moment.
Nodding, Chen Man patiently continued, “The previous one was too simple and crude. Xuan’er’s father and I thought that we could make use of this engagement banquet to announce the relationship between both of you with everyone. It can be a small celebration too.”
After a pause, seeing that Mo Zhu did not speak, Chen Man thought that she did not agree to it. She said nervously, “Xiao Zhu, although this is Auntie and Uncle’s idea, whether this engagement banquet can be held depends on your opinion. If you don’t agree, then it’s fine, we will respect your choice.”
Chen Man truly liked her daughter-in-law-to-be from the bottom of her heart. Thus, she naturally wouldn’t be angry at Mo Zhu for such a small matter. She had taken the initiative to mention the engagement banquet to Huo Tao because she wanted to take this opportunity to formally introduce Mo Zhu as the Huo family’s Young Madam to the outsiders.
“Auntie, that’s not what I mean. I don’t understand these things either. If both of you want to do it, we can have it again. I will listen to your arrangements.”!!
Mo Zhu’s tone was indifferent. She was really not interested in these things. If Chen Man liked it, then just let her do as she pleased. When the time came, it would just be a formality for her and it wouldn’t consume too much of her energy.
Hearing Mo Zhu agree without a change in her expression, Chen Man heaved a sigh of relief. She smiled and raised her hand to open a document on the tablet. Then, she swiped the screen and said, “In that case, Xiao Zhu, quickly choose the gown you want to wear for the engagement banquet. I bought these from the capital in advance. I’ll get Uncle Zhang to send them over to you if you like them.”
Mo Zhu did not even look at the tablet the woman was holding. She gently pinched the space between her eyebrows and waved her hand as she replied, “I’ll wear whatever Auntie likes. These complicated gowns look the same to me.”
In Chen Man’s eyes, Mo Zhu’s behavior was naturally very obedient. She thought that the girl was unwilling to choose a look, worrying that her choice would not please her. With a wave of her hand, Chen Man immediately sent a message to Uncle Zhang, asking him to send the gowns she had brought back from Beijing to the Huo residence.
Uncle Zhang was also very efficient. By the time both of them had finished eating breakfast, the clothes had already been delivered.
When she saw that one gown after another was brought in by the person Uncle Zhang had asked to help, Chen Man happily asked Mo Zhu to come and try on her clothes. She casually picked up a high quality pure white dress, placed it on the girl’s shoulders and gently measured her.
As she had obtained the measurements of Mo Zhu’s figure in advance, the pile of clothes that was sent over was very suitable for the girl. She nodded lightly and Chen Man stuffed the gown into Mo Zhu’s hands. “Xiao Zhu, quickly go back to the room and try on the dress that Auntie chose for you. Among these gowns, Auntie likes this one the most!”
In the face of Chen Man’s passionate invitation, Mo Zhu could not reject her directly. She carried the dress upstairs and it did not take long for her to change into it.
She looked at the mirror in the room and carefully checked the concealed buttons all over the dress. After making sure that they were all buttoned up, Mo Zhu lifted her long skirt and opened the door.
Chen Man had been waiting outside the door since a long time ago. When she heard the door open, she could not wait to see how the dress would look on Mo Zhu.
After glancing at her, Chen Man was so shocked she cried out softly. She knew Mo Zhu was good-looking, but she did not expect that after putting on the gown she had carefully chosen, not only was the girl beautiful, but she also exuded an immortal aura from head to toe. Besides she vaguely gave off a feeling of superiority.
One could not blame Chen Man for making a fuss over nothing. All along, Mo Zhu had been dressed very plainly. She either wore her school uniform all day long or just a simple t-shirt and jeans. This was the first time she had worn a gown like this.
“Xiao Zhu, this dress looks too good on you. It’s suitable! It’s too suitable! It looks like it was tailor-made for you!” Chen Man took a few more looks and could not help but praise.
Before Mo Zhu could answer, Chen Man could not help but circle Mo Zhu a few times. She nodded heavily as if she had made a decision and said, “Xiao Zhu! I have decided that you will wear this to the engagement banquet. I guarantee it will shock everyone and make Xuan’er unable to keep his eyes off you!”
As his injuries had mostly recovered over the past few days, Huo Xuan woke up early in the morning to go to the company to deal with the business he had not completed. Therefore, when Chen Man arrived in the morning, only Mo Zhu went downstairs to eat.
“Then this one will do. I’m too lazy to try on other dresses anyway. Although one looks simple and generous, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to wear. Just that pile of buttons alone took me a long time to button up!” Mo Zhu nodded and grumbled to Chen Man.
As long as Chen Man thought it was alright, these gowns were the same in Mo Zhu’s eyes. She could wear any one of them.
Chen Man could not help but be even more satisfied with Mo Zhu’s obedient and sensible attitude. She clapped happily and said, “Okay! Then we’ll keep this for the engagement banquet. You can wear the rest whenever you want. Xiao Zhu, I bought them for you anyway. You can make the decision!”
