The galloping horses kicked up a storm of dust, and the thunderous sound of their hooves shook the ground.
Thick smoke rose from the racecourse, while the lively atmosphere of the spectators' stand was no less exciting.
"Hey! What's the prize for the winner?"
"A huge sum of money!"
"I heard the first place gets to dance with Victoria!"
"Wow!"
"Victoria? I'd still take the money, haha!"
"Whatever!"
Suddenly, a female voice asked, "A dance party?"
A white man looked at a beautiful young girl beside him and exclaimed, "Hey, Cinderella! Would you allow me the honor of being your prince and dancing with you at the dance party tomorrow night?"
"Sorry." Gu Linxi refused, clutching her chest.
"Hey, Cinderella!"
"It's Cinderella! She's so beautiful!"
Several people quickly crowded around Gu Linxi, and she was engulfed in their midst.
The praises and admiration surrounding her lifted her high, making her feel dizzy and hot in the chest.
She rarely experienced such occasions, and she used to think she would never fit into such a grand event.
But now, no one could tell that she wasn't a noblewoman invited with a formal invitation.
Gu Linxi pursed her lips, wearing ice silk gloves that matched her dress, her long fingers wrapped in a deep blue hue.
Her rosy cheeks and blushing face handed her hand to the handsome white man in front of her, who had made the generous invitation.
At least, at this moment, she forgot about Qin Zhan.
Soon, in the first race of the Marseille, a pure black horse won the championship, and the applause from the audience thundered! Exclamations of surprise, regret, joy, chest-beating, and foot-stomping filled the air, making the atmosphere extremely lively.
The white man held Gu Linxi's shoulders, and she folded her hands in front of her, raising her chin with a slight curve at the corners of her mouth.
Just like when she first met Li Suimo, she seemed to possess an innate nobility, just like that girl.
"Cinderella is really elegant!"
Gu Linxi smiled and said, "Thank you, but please call me Gu Linxi."
"Gu Linxi..."
No one wants to be a real Cinderella, even though the ending of Cinderella is perfect, the suffering she endured has already been ingrained in her bones.
That was a past she didn't want to admit.
The atmosphere continued to be hot, and Gu Linxi soon realized that something was wrong.
The first horse race had ended, but the noise around them seemed to have not stopped.
The white man let her go and excitedly stepped on his toes to look at the surrounding area.
Gu Linxi's heart was flustered, and she followed the crowd to see the first glimpse of Fu Yanxiao, who was dressed in orange-red like a sunflower.
Gu Linxi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey?" Gu Linxi pulled the white man's collar, and the tall and handsome white man stared blankly at the center of the crowd.
"Victoria..."
Gu Linxi clenched her fists and finally shifted her gaze to the girl beside Fu Yanxiao, who was dressed in moonlight.
"Li Suimo!"
The girl smiled and walked gracefully towards them, her skirt flowing like moonlight.
Others were surprised by her beauty and consciously made way for her.
The white man followed the crowd and left.
He wanted to see Victoria!
Gu Linxi lowered her eyes to hide the surging emotions in her heart.
She wanted to find Qin Zhan!
Only Qin Zhan truly belonged to her!
Only Qin Zhan...
Fu Yanxiao said unhappily, "The old man didn't tell me the dress was like this..."
Li Suimo smiled, "You didn't try it on?"
"Huh?" Fu Yanxiao looked at Li Suimo in surprise, "Try it on? That old man has too many quirks! Don't you know? Have you tried it on?"
Li Suimo smiled but didn't say anything.
"...Really?" Fu Yanxiao leaned over, holding her dress. "The old man doesn't like others trying on dress. He said that dress choose their wearers, and trying them on will only destroy the spirituality of the garment. Moreover, the person trying it on will repeatedly request changes. Altering a piece of clothing too much can easily make the designer lose their direction."
Li Suimo murmured, "I only wore it once, but it wasn't a finished garment."
"Wow, you're really amazing," Fu Yanxiao said, lifting her own skirt. "But it doesn't matter. My dress is also beautiful. Today, Sister Qin Qing said I look like the sun!"
Qin Qing has arrived?
Li Suimo's eyes flickered.
The second round of the Marseille race was about to start, and the ladies were all heading to the specialized viewing platform.
The young lady's would bloom like flowers in front of the galloping horses, forming a sharp contrast!
I wonder if Qin Zhan will see Gu Linxi.
Li Suimo straightened her dress and followed Fu Yanxiao to watch the Marseille race.
Today, the winner among the girls competing at the scene will receive the title of "Victoria."
"How much is the prize money for Victoria?" Li Suimo asked seemingly casually.
Fu Yanxiao rubbed her ears.
She was deafened by the noisy people around her betting on horses. "There's a trophy and a certificate, money? You're not thinking about that little bit of prize money, are you?"
Li Suimo choked, "No, just asked casually."
"Oh, it seems to be ten million yuan?" Fu Yanxiao said.
Li Suimo: "..."
She did indeed think about it. Li Suimo smiled.
After buying a house, her pocket money was almost gone.
The car and house were in A city and couldn't be cashed out.
Li Enzheng had sent two million yuan over a couple of days ago, but it was just the cost of going shopping.
"Seems like my allowance is running low," Li Suimo rubbed her chin.
"Has anyone from the Han family arrived?" she asked.
"Who?" asked Fu Yanxiao.
"Han Zhou, who works in raw material production."
"I don't know him," said Fu Yanxiao.
Li Suimo thought to herself, how many people came to this exhibition today just to expand their network?
If she used Qin Qing's name, she wondered if she could meet Han Zhou.
She smiled, "Shall we go find Qin Qing and Qin Zhan?"
Fu Yanxiao was happy to oblige, "Sure!"
