[She’s too cute, look at those dimples. I love it, I love it.]

Following this, more stars appeared. There were pretty ones but none as earth-shattering as Mu Lan. The netizens showed little interest in the rest.

Just as the celebrity appearances were just coming to an end, a lengthened Lincoln rolled up slowly.

The first thing that appeared out of the car was a high-heeled shoe, and quickly following that, the slender length of a creamy-pale leg.

The live stream videographer was very experienced and sensitively captured the moment. With good sense, he panned the camera upwards, inch by inch, until he caught the entire Luo Qiao in his viewfinder.

When the lens fell on her exquisite face, there were a few moments of complete silence on the comments screen.

Immediately following this was a mad flurry of messages:

[ !!!!!!]

[ !!!!!!]

[ !!!!!!]

[That woman unanimously recognized by fans to be beautiful has appeared…]

[Luo Qiao?? I must be going insane!!!]

[I only just saw some netizens calling her ugly on Weibo!! They ridiculed her for digital manipulation!! And now everyone’s gone crazy slapping themselves!!]

[Digital manipulation? This is the first time I’ve seen someone digitally manipulating herself to look worse. She’s 10 thousand times better looking in real life than in her pictures! Is this a real person? Or an immortal rather, freaking hell!]

[It’s too beautiful, she’s glowing white, did you guys realize?]

[Slender waist, long legs and distinct shoulders, hot damn Luo Qiao is a fine specimen, you have to give it to her. I have to say it here, it’s a great loss to suckers for aesthetics like us if she doesn’t act.]

Luo Qiao had no idea what was going on on the internet, she smiled faintly at the camera that was pointed at her and waved a greeting.

The comments screen went crazy again.

However, she did not enter the venue like the female stars before her but followed behind a few veterans into an exclusive passageway.

The comments screen went silent again for a moment, then the earth-shaking comment followed:

[… Almost forgot, Luo Qiao is no longer an actress, but a big-time investor!!! She was with the bosses… With that presence, seriously, I’ve been knocked out!!]

Very quickly, this remark was screenshotted and posted on Weibo and it was a vicious slap in the faces of all those who were ridiculing and making senseless remarks about Luo Qiao.

[Hahahahahaha, Lemon Essence has been slapped in the face again, this is too funny!!]

[Will the girl who accused Luo Qiao of digital manipulation please stand up.]

[Luo Qiao: Sorry, everyone, I’m too beautiful so I had to make myself look uglier. Hahahahaha!]

[Those who are blown away plus me arghhhh, that beautiful big boss notion… kill me.]

[Big Boss Beauty, female CEO, f*ck me, I’m fried!]

…

Reality had proven it – she was not only beautiful, but she was also a wealthy CEO.

One had to admit defeat.

…

The event venue was not open to reporters. The moment Mu Lan stepped into the event hall she was stopped by Bei Rongrong and a few others.

On the surface, they were like cordial fellow colleagues, but they sneered at her behind false smiles. “Where did you get all this finery you’re wearing?”

Mu Lan shoved Bei Rongrong’s hand out of the way and replied, “Mind your own business.”

Bei Rongrong bit on her lip. Mu Lan was indeed stunning tonight, overshadowing her with her presence. But she obviously destroyed her gown and even talked to the few brand names that most frequently collaborated with their company. Who would have dared to loan her a dress?

Bei Rongrong was most envious to see how spirited and beautiful Mu Lan was. All she could do was taunt her, “A gown of some unknown brand that no one’s even heard of makes you such a big show off? How petty!”

Mu Lan eyed Bei Rongrong up and down. Then with a sneer, she said, “Doesn’t it make you mad, seeing that I look better than you even when I’m wearing an unknown brand?”

What?! Bei Rongrong was immediately infuriated. “You are to say it one more time!”
