Mu Ziyue still had to take care of many things regarding the banquet downstairs and didn't have the time to watch Lu Xue change clothes. After giving a few instructions outside the dressing room, she rushed downstairs in a hurry.
Soon, Lu Xue finished changing and walked out.
In front of the floor - length mirror stood a girl with a beautiful face. The long skirt set off her graceful figure and curvy silhouette. The pink diamond - encrusted collar sparkled brightly under the light, making her skin look even fairer.
Anyone who saw this girl at this moment would probably be instantly amazed by her beauty. But unfortunately, Lu Xue took one look at her reflection in the mirror and shook her head, looking a bit dissatisfied.
"This dress has too many gaudy designs..."
She lowered her head and carefully examined the design of the dress's skirt. No matter how she looked at it, she thought several details were rather useless.
For this reason, Lu Xue specifically turned around to look at the label on the back, wanting to know which brand this evening dress was from.
After twisting around for a long time, she still couldn't reach a position where she could see the label. She could only sigh silently. It seemed that if she wanted to know the brand of this dress, she would have to go back into the dressing room, take off the dress and then check.
Rather than going through all that trouble, it was better to just make do.
Lu Xue was about to put on other accessories and appear in front of everyone in the outfit Mu Ziyue had designed for her without any mistakes.
At this moment, the door of the dressing room was gently pushed open from the outside. Ding Muyun poked her head in and said gently, "Can I come in now? I just have something I want to talk to you about."
When Lu Xue saw Ding Muyun, there was no expression on her face.
She had an average impression of Ding Muyun, but after all, this was a dressing room, not just hers. She couldn't stop others from coming in.
Ding Muyun entered the dressing room and pretended to adjust her makeup in the mirror. Then she put on a pair of earrings. Only after doing all this did she turn to look at Lu Xue beside her.
Lu Xue looked extremely beautiful tonight. She was the kind of girl whose beauty would instantly capture one's attention and leave one unable to look away.
Ding Muyun quietly concealed the jealousy in her heart, but there was an inexplicable sour feeling in her chest.
Normally, Lu Xue, who was lazy and stayed at home, was a girl who was used to wearing student shirts. She would never be the one to catch others' attention at first sight in a crowd.
She was beautiful, but one had to take a closer look at her face to appreciate her beauty. If she was just in a crowd, she wasn't that noticeable.
But tonight, Mu Ziyue clearly intended to transform Lu Xue into the kind of girl who would be stunning at first glance.
If Lu Xue appeared in front of everyone in this shiny and eye - catching outfit under the aqua - blue light, she would probably be easily accepted by everyone.
By then, these elders might think that Lu Xue had a natural air of a noble young lady, and it would be much easier for them to accept her new identity as a member of the Mu family.
Ding Muyun's eyes darkened, and a surge of anger welled up in her chest.
Some people seemed to be born with good luck and could easily get what she had struggled so hard to obtain.
For example, the position of Mrs. Mu. Ding Muyun didn't know how much effort she had put into it, but so far, she hadn't even gotten close to Mu Yuze.
As soon as Lu Xue appeared, she had a contract. She could effortlessly and openly sit in this position, even though she might not have even realized it.
Another example was beauty. Ding Muyun had also spent a great deal of effort on various kinds of maintenance, medical aesthetics, and had spent a lot of money and time dressing herself up just to maintain her image in the eyes of others.
Lu Xue probably had never realized that she was a beauty in all her life, but she could instantly amaze everyone in such an occasion and effortlessly get what Ding Muyun wanted.
Ding Muyun forced a sneer in the mirror, then turned her gaze, sized up Lu Xue beside her, and said in a rather sincere tone.
"By the way, Lu Xue, in order to make you appear even more perfect in front of everyone, Mu Ziyue specially asked me to choose a handbag for you before. This bag is extremely popular. It is said that as soon as autumn and winter come each year, it will be snapped up immediately. I also had to ask someone for help and put in a lot of effort to get this bag."
Lu Xue glanced at Ding Muyun and said indifferently, "I don't think I need to carry a handbag when I appear at the banquet. It seems so cumbersome, and I don't have anything to put in it anyway."
The smile on Ding Muyun's lips froze. She didn't expect that Lu Xue was not so easy to deceive. She had originally thought she could persuade her with just a few words, but now it seemed that she needed to put in more effort.
"Although that's true, this is still your first time appearing in front of the elders. Your previous identity was rather special. You need to put in more effort when you first join our circle. Moreover, the socialite daughters at the banquet are not so easy to deceive. I'm just afraid they'll laugh at you for being unfashionable behind your back, so I specially searched for this bag for you. It can add a lot of style to you."
Lu Xue glanced down and wasn't very interested in this bag.
