Wen Yin's breath involuntarily caught. Her bright red lips slowly parted unconsciously, and her red - tinged eyes stared unblinkingly at Shao Yinan in front of her.
The man's clean and strong big hand gently landed on the top of her head, as if he had taken something off.
Wen Yin glanced at the slightly curly leaf and inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
Even she didn't know why she had suddenly felt a strange sense of nervousness just now.
Wen Yin only noticed that Shao Yinan's eyebrows and eyes were a bit softer at this moment, as if they were sucking her in.
She gently opened her mouth. Her voice was slightly hoarse but still clear.
"Thank you, Shao Yinan."
---
After that brief encounter with Shao Yinan that night, Wen Yin readjusted her state.
Drawing the first draft was not easy. Wen Yin revised it for three days before it was finally approved.
When Jiu Jiu saw that Wen Yin finally had some free time, she quickly squeezed in front of her. "Sister Wen Yin, we're going to simply pick out fabrics this afternoon. Do you want to come with us?"
"We're the only two who haven't made our selections yet."
Jiu Jiu was also participating in this new product design as a rookie designer for practice. Except for Wen Yin, Jiu Jiu and Shasha, the others were all veterans, and their progress was faster than theirs.
So now only they two hadn't picked out the fabrics.
"Just the two of us?" Wen Yin was a bit confused and surprised at the speed of the other designers.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Shasha's swaying figure. Wen Yin asked, "Has Shasha also made her selection?"
"Shasha? What selection?" Jiu Jiu was completely confused by Wen Yin's words and scratched her head.
Wen Yin frowned. "Isn't Shasha also participating in the design as a rookie designer?"
After hearing Wen Yin's words, Jiu Jiu was even more surprised, with a gossiping look on her face as if saying "Don't you even know this?"
Jiu Jiu quietly leaned closer to Wen Yin and whispered, "Sister Wen Yin, Shasha is not actually participating in this design. Her name is on the list just to serve as an assistant."
"Shasha got this opportunity only because she had a 'noble patron' to help her squeeze in."
Hearing Jiu Jiu's little gossip, Wen Yin couldn't help but let out a silent laugh. The image of Shasha being haughty and showing off in front of her seemed to reappear in front of her eyes.
"So that's how it is."
Seeing Jiu Jiu's expectant and gossiping look, Wen Yin nodded.
After lunch, Wen Yin and Jiu Jiu came to the material room. Pieces of fabric were laid out on the tables, along with all the raw materials related to accessories for the designers to choose from.
Jiu Jiu quickly made her choice. After picking out the fabric, they still needed to create a simple style to see the final texture.
Wen Yin picked up a piece of Hangluo silk on the table and decided this was the one.
Near the end of work, Wen Yin received a strange message on her phone, but the phone number was quite familiar.
[Elder sister, tonight is my birthday banquet. Dad wants you to come back and attend~]
Wen Yin's eyes darkened, and there was an inexplicable hint of mockery in the faint smile on her lips.
The birthday banquet of the beloved daughter of the Wen family was naturally grand.
Wen Yin's thoughts were pulled back to the previous life -
There were quite a few people at Wen Zhi's birthday banquet. Xiao Mo, Jiang Shihuai and Lu Ziqiu had even prepared many exquisite gifts for her.
Under Wen Zhi's deliberate provocation, she was constantly challenged. Unable to hold back, she retorted, but was then portrayed by Wen Zhi as a rude and unreasonable person.
It even made Xiao Mo, Lu Ziqiu and the other two dislike her even more.
In despair, she couldn't figure out why their eyes were always on Wen Zhi.
Then what was she?
Just thinking of that scene, Wen Yin couldn't help but bite her lips.
She was really stupid. Why did she have to get their attention?
Just thinking of all the past events, Wen Yin felt nauseous. This feeling of disgust made her unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
At the Wen family banquet.
When Wen Yin arrived, there were already many people in the banquet hall. The moment she pushed open the door, many people's eyes fell on her.
It seemed like they were curious or sizing her up.
Wen Yin deliberately chose a strapless long dress today, which outlined her slender waist and showed off her good figure to the fullest.
Wen Yin had gained quite a high popularity in the entertainment circle recently and was already a bit well - known, but she was completely unknown in the Wen family circle.
Even many people cast curious glances at her, as if wondering.
Shen Ziying and Wen Zhi's little sisters were the first to notice Wen Yin.
In just a few steps, Wen Yin walked with grace, as if she was walking on a red carpet. She was so elegant that one could hardly tell that she was the real daughter of the Wen family who had been retrieved from the countryside.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Wen? Why are you so late even though you're not working?" Shen Ziying swayed over to Wen Yin with her hips swinging.
There was obvious mockery in her eyes, and every word was a sneer at Wen Yin.
"Me?" Wen Yin raised her eyes. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she said coolly, "I'm not busy, but I'm not as idle as Miss Shen, who got fired."
Hearing the word "fired", Shen Ziying gritted her teeth.
The slap from last time still seemed vivid in her mind. She had been severely scolded by her father when she got home!
It was all because of that bitch Wen Yin!
Shen Ziying's eyes became full of unwillingness. Soon, she raised her head again. "At least I'm better than you country bumpkin!"
"Unlike some people, who know exactly who the real daughter of the Wen family is but still come here to make a fool of themselves!"
Shen Ziying seemed to be trying hard to regain her face, but seeing that she couldn't get the better of Wen Yin, she turned around and walked away gracefully.
Hearing her words, there was no change in Wen Yin's expression.
If it was the her from the previous life, she would definitely have been tongue - tied and didn't know how to refute.
Maybe she would have even been sad and wondered inferiorly what was wrong with her compared to Wen Zhi.
Thinking of this, Wen Yin couldn't help but twitch her lips.
How stupid she had been before to think like that.
Just as she was thinking, Wen Zhi came downstairs.
She was wearing a white gauze dress and a luxurious crown made by the Wen family on her head. The diamonds on the crown sparkled under the light.
Under the envious gazes of others, Wen Zhi walked down gracefully. Her little evening dress was a new product of a luxury brand in the current season, and every move of hers was full of coquettishness.
She seemed like a real princess.
She took a few quick steps and trotted into the arms of Father Wen and Mother Wen in the middle.
Even though Mother Wen's eyes were a bit cloudy and dazed for a moment, the moment she saw Wen Zhi, her eyes still shone brightly.
She gently tucked the fallen hair behind Wen Zhi's ear and murmured something with her lips.
Father Wen, who always had a cold and hard face, showed a soft expression for the first time. He lowered his eyes and gently looked at Mother Wen.
The three of them were in perfect harmony, but this scene made Wen Yin's blood run cold.
She watched all this expressionlessly, not knowing how to describe it.
It had been several months since the real daughter of the Wen family was recognized, but in the eyes of outsiders, there was always only one legitimate daughter of the Wen family -
Wen Zhi.
