Chapter 413: Who Dares To Fight Me?

Yao Mengqing’s breathing quickened. She forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a smile. ‘Tm really sorry, Ah Zheng. I was too impatient and didn’t take the time to understand the situation. I didn’t expect Yun Chu to agree to the collaboration. Congratulations!”

Gu Zheng ignored her.

Yao Mengqing suddenly thought of something. “Li City is going to hold a jewelry design exhibition soon. Will Yun Chu be participating?”

Qiao Xi instantly understood this woman’s thoughts and said directly, “No.”

“Xi Xi, how do you know so much? Do you know Yun Chu?” Yao Mengqing smiled slightly. “I heard that Yun Chu has a proud character and is unrestrained. She has very high standards too. Seeing as Xi Xi and Yun Chu are so close, could it be that Xi Xi has an outstanding talent in jewelry design too?”

Lin Jie also understood what Yao Mengqing meant and hurriedly chimed in, “Yes! Miss Qiao, if you know Yun Chu, you must also know jewelry design?”

Qiao Xi replied unhurriedly, “How could I be as skilled as Miss Yao?”

Acold glint flashed in Yao Menggqing’s eyes as she said gently, “Xi Xi, I heard that you originally signed up for this competition, but for some reason, you withdrew. Since Yun Chu isn’t participating, it’ll be good for you to represent her!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Miss Yao, do you find it meaningful to beat around the bush?”

Yao Mengging’s face was filled with embarrassment, but she quickly recovered and said affectionately, “Xi Xi, I don’t have any ill intentions. I’m just curious as to why you suddenly gave up after registering. Since you signed up, it means that you’re interested in jewelry design. Actually, the rankings aren’t important at all. If you’re interested, you should just participate!

“Moreover, you’re Yun Chu’s friend! You must be very capable. Maybe your design will be favored by the judges.”

Lin Jie also tried to persuade her. “Yes, it’s rare for Li City to hold a jewelry design competition. Don’t miss this opportunity.”

These two people spoke one after another. On the surface, they seemed to be kindly encouraging Qiao Xi, but it was actually…

Qiao Xi was naturally able to see through Yao Mengqing’s thoughts. Yao Mengging did not see her name on the list, so she thought Qiao Xi had withdrawn from the competition.

Those who quit at the last minute either had health issues or did not have the confidence to participate in the competition. Hence, Yao Mengqing thought that Qiao Xi was afraid and did not have confidence in her jewelry design skills.

Hence, Yao Mengging and Lin Jie were taking tums to encourage her to participate in the competition. When the time came, Yao Mengging would trample on her in public and elevate herself. It would highlight the gap between the two of them.

How thoughtful!

Qiao Xi lost her mind and roared furiously. “It’s just a competition! I’ll participate!”

Seeing that she had agreed, Yao Mengging revealed a satisfied smile. “Xi Xi, the results of the competition don’t matter. What’s important is the process. It doesn’t matter even if your design isn’t good. You’re still so young, so you still have many chances to succeed.

“Jewelry design is different from other crafts. It requires a lot of investment. I don’t think you underwent formal learning, but you don’t have to be afraid. It’s normal to fail. Actually, it’s already very outstanding that you have the courage to participate.”
