Chapter 448: Chapter 243 Contamination Crystal! _3

Even if many family clans do not possess such ability, they still choose to attend this trade fair by spending a significant amount of money.

The goal of these families is not to swap high-end resources at the trade fair.

They have to spend a large sum just for an admission ticket which is used as a bargaining chip, so it’s likely that they cannot afford the other items at the trade fair.

The reason they make such a decision is because this trade fair is bound to become the most grandiose arena for fame and fortune in Lu City in recent years.

All the influential forces in Lu City, and even beyond, will send delegates to attend.

Once they manage to forge a connection with certain powers, or to collaborate with them at this place of prestige and ambition,

it could possibly change the current fate of their families.

Gao Wenyuan has been basking in glory ever since she became the noble lady of the Gao Family.

A firm standing as a noble lady led Gao Wenyuan to neglect her public image management.

She appeared more arrogant beneath the surface of her courteous and gentle demeanor.

But this arrogance, showcasing itself in Gao Wenyuan, oddly added an aura of a noble lady of a prestigious family to her.

Gao Wenyuan examined the ten plus sets of splendid clothes before her, selecting them carefully.

Each of these garments designed by grandmaster weavers is worth more than twenty million Dragon Rising Coins.

The materials used for embroidery and inlays are so extravagant that a single piece could cover an ordinary person’s expenses for most of their life.

These clothes are all tailor-made for Gao Wenyuan by several weaving grandmasters, commissioned by Gao Hongying.

They made alterations to clothing that wasn’t originally made for Gao Wenyuan, to fit her figure.

Gao Wenyuan, enjoying the treatment of a noble lady of the Gao Family, became even more serious in her selection of clothing.

Gao Wenyuan was well aware that she could enjoy such treatment because the Gao Family needed her to establish a connection with Jianmu.

Only by achieving this could she secure her standing as the noble lady of the Gao Family.

If she failed to attract Fang Mu’s interest at the trade fair, her position as the noble lady of the Gao family would most likely come to an end.

Gao Wenyuan had always been confident in her own beauty. However, the other noble ladies of the Lu City clans possessed not only power but also good looks.

Each of these garments tailored by the grandmaster weavers carries its own distinctive charm.

Whether they are beautiful or not entirely depends on people’s different levels of appreciation.

Gao Wenyuan wasn’t sure what type of woman Fang Mu preferred, hence she was uncertain about which dress she should wear to the trade fair.

At this moment, the door to Gao Wenyuan’s room was opened from the outside.

In the Gao family, the only person who could push open Gao Wenyuan’s door without her permission was Gao Hongying himself.

Otherwise, even the members of Gao family’s council of elders needed to maintain superficial courtesy toward Gao Wenyuan, the noble lady of the Gao Family.

Gao Hongying noticed that Gao Wenyuan had not only not started to dress up but also had not yet finished selecting her clothes.

His expression immediately darkened.

“Wenyuan, you only have three hours left to get ready. After you have changed into your clothes and put on your makeup, you also need to be scented with fragrant flowers for an hour and a half,” he ordered.

“You should know what great lengths the family has gone to make the Ye Yun Chung flowers bloom a year early just for you,” he added.

The fragrance of the Ye Yun Chung flowers is one of the top three fragrances and is considered the most dreamy.

Each person who basks in its scent will produce a unique body scent that lasts for more than a day.

The family presenting her with the Ye Yun Chung flowers was entirely because Peach Beguile’s cosmetics brand has a scent that’s too delightful.

Only the unique scent of Ye Yun Chung flowers could compete with it.

Gao Wenyuan also had Peach Beguile’s cosmetics.

Gao Wenyuan chose not to use Peach Beguile’s cosmetics because she knew that many people would be using them at this trade fair.

If everyone’s scent is the same, it might cause Jianmu to feel a sensory overload.

Her unique scent was another method to catch Fang Mu’s attention.

“Uncle, I’m not sure what style Jianmu prefers, so it’s tough for me to choose what to wear to the trade fair,” she explained.

“Anything that would make me shine in front of Jianmu.”

Upon hearing Gao Wenyuan’s words, Gao Hongying’s face lightened somewhat.

“Wenyuan, in the entire younger generation of Lu City, your beauty is simply unrivaled,” he reassured her.

“When you’re uncertain of Jianmu’s preferences, what you need to do is to accentuate your own special qualities to the full.”

“Just pick the outfit that suits you best!”

“Hurry now, the Ye Yun Chung flowers are about to bloom!”

Upon saying this, Gao Hongying turned around and left Gao Wenyuan’s room.

Eventually, Gao Wenyuan chose the simplest looking garment— a long skirt adorned with a dozen fluffy flowers around the hem.

This outfit could show off her slender swan-like neck and, with minimal decoration, highlight her purity and superior facial features.

The plush flowers on the hem of the skirt had a rich texture, their colors and layers mutually enhancing each other and making her legs appear even longer.

In a setting where everyone else would be dressed extravagantly, her simple and pure look would certainly become the focus of the banquet.

The She family’s situation has drastically changed. Previously, everyone practically worshipped She Rui, considering him the definite heir to the She Family’s Master.

But now, She Rui’s spotlight has shifted, and everyone has started to commend She Ruan!

The patriarch of the She family, who has always been neutral concerning the selection of the Family Head, has shown his optimism toward She Ruan through his actions.

At noon today, he transferred the management of the two most significant businesses of the She family to She Ruan.

Even at the height of She Rui’s popularity, he hadn’t been able to take over these businesses from the patriarch.

She Junjie looked at She Jiazhen who was in his daily clothes and frowned as he said to She Long who was beside She Ruan.

“What’s wrong with you? The trade fair is Jia Zhen’s first time meeting Mr. Jianmu.”

“Didn’t you know to have Jia Zhen change into dinner dress?”

She Long looked slightly wronged as he glanced at She Ruan and then replied.

“Dad, Xiao Wan called and said to dress as simply as possible, not to be too extravagant, and not to wear too many decorations.”

“That’s why I let Jia Zhen dress like this!”

“Didn’t you see that my second brother and I are also dressed very simply?”

She Junjie looked puzzled upon hearing this.

But since She Wan had made a special point over the phone, there was no need for She Jiazhen to change his clothes.

According to the etiquette of the banquet, guests should not dress more splendidly than the host.

It seems that Jianmu would mostly likely be wearing his regular clothes, rather than dinner dress, at the trade fair that he was hosting.

Even if he does wear dinner dress, it will definitely be of the most restrained and low-key variety.

At this moment, the major powers of Lu City should all be dressing up for the trade fair, right?

When they arrive at the trade fair and see Jianmu’s dress, I wonder how many powers will be stepping on a landmine!
