Chapter 58: Your Body Is Too Massive

“That’s the dress your mother sent to you,” said a girl with a homely look beside Fu Zhi.

Even though the custom-fitted black qipao did not look as impressive as the rhinestone-embellished bellflower dress, it was still a limited-edition piece from Kimorty. It was not something that one could buy with money.

It went without saying that the girls were envious of her as well.

Frowning, Fu Zhi took the qipao out. There was a blue envelope underneath the box.

When she opened the envelope, Su Xing saw a line of words on the black-colored card—”For Ms. Lu Chuwan.”

Cocking her head, Su Xing exclaimed, “Hey, isn’t this dress for Lu Chuwan?”

“What? This is Lu Chuwan’s dress?”

Su Xing took the card and said, “Here, see for yourself. It says on top that this dress is for Lu Chuwan.”

This was the first thing Lu Chuwan heard when she returned to the dressing room, and she subconsciously placed her hand on her sore waist.

Fu Zhi looked at her from the other side of the dressing room. There was no emotion but anger in her eyes. “Take it off.”

Lu Chuwan was stunned for a while before she sneered, “Why should I listen to you?”

She glared at Fu Zhi back defiantly and added, her tone harsh and arrogant, “I know you’re envious of what I’m wearing, but please do me a favor and keep your ugly side home. Look at yourself in a mirror or something and know your place. You’re merely an adopted daughter and you would only be making a fool of yourself if you insisted that this dress is yours.”

“But the dress you’re wearing is really Zhizhi’s dress,” Su Xing chimed in. She then put the card on the qipao and said, “This is your dress.”

Lu Chuwan glanced at Fu Zhi, who was standing in front of a vanity. The light shone brightly above her head, and Lu Chuwan could not read her expression well.

Meanwhile, she could feel everyone’s gazes in the dressing room boring into her. Even though nobody talked, she was able to sense the thick malice in the air right now. It was as if all of them were saying that she was inferior to Fu Zhi.

She tightened her fists, turned sideways, and asked Tongtong, “Did you put the letter that Kimorty sent me in Fu Zhi’s box when you put the dress back?”

“Ah? Ah... Yeah, I got it wrong,” Xu Tongtong said as she licked her lips. “Alright, Fu Zhi. That qipao is yours. You’re an adopted daughter, so you should stick to whatever you have right now. Stop making a big fuss about it.”

Everyone watched the farce, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was tense.

Fu Zhi rubbed her fingertips against the phone screen. Her eyelashes were long, and she accidentally saw something that piqued her curiosity when she raised her head.

The side of the white bellflower dress was starting to get unstitched. It was not obvious, but it was definitely unstitching.

“You don’t want to take it off?” Fu Zhi scoffed. She lowered her head to send a message and said thoughtfully, “That’s fine with me. Just make sure you won’t regret it later.”

Lu Chuwan was startled by the light in Fu Zhi’s eyes, but she forced herself to calm down. After all, she was their grandmother’s favorite granddaughter, and Fu Zhi did not have any right to tell her what kind of dress she should wear. With that thought in mind, she straightened her back and sneered, “Hmph! Preposterous!”
