Chapter 78(2/3)
"Isn't this a search for a needle in a haystack? Isn't it going to make any progress? I just know that she calls someone '2b'."
Xu Qiao and Shen Dang were both stunned.
“2What?”
“What b?”
"I saw that she was making a birthday cake for someone, and the cake was written with a number 2 and a letter b." Jiang Fang was confident.
Cheng Lang rarely participated in this gossip session, but he couldn't bear to hear it, so he said: "The birthday cake half a year ago should be 213, which means February 13th, right?"
“…”
Everyone burst into devastating laughter after a silence.
Cheng Lang sighed and said to the three people on the side of Xu Qiao: "Let's laugh."
Xu Qiao was in a daze at this moment.
Why does she feel like she has seen this cake?
She whispered to Cheng Lang: "The night you got drunk and asked me to be cute was the day before Valentine's Day, right?"
Before Cheng Lang corrected her wrong usage of the word "cute" yet, he first read out what message from her expression.
The day before Valentine's Day, he felt uncomfortable because he heard that Xu Qiao accompanied Song Mian to celebrate his birthday with cakes in a tea restaurant and he drank too much wine during the social event in the evening.
It happened to be February 13th.
The two had just confirmed their guesses while looking at each other, and suddenly they heard a female voice: "Hello, Mr. Song, Mr. Xiao Cheng is in the hospitality area, please come inside."
Xu Qiao was stunned and raised her head, seeing Song Mian wearing a black suit and a Windsor collar, and formally walked towards her.
Cao Cao was not as fast as him.
Cheng Lang explained: "Didn't I just said that there is still one person missing?"
Xu Qiao suddenly realized.
This is also the "group of relatives and friends" that Cheng Lang invited for her.
She stood up and waved to Song Mian, allowing him to see his direction.
"Sorry, I took over a patient temporarily in the afternoon. I'm late." Song Mian stepped forward with a smile.
"It's okay, I'm just about to start the show now!" Xu Qiao waved his hand.
Cheng Lang then stood up, put his arm on her waist, and nodded to Song Mian: "Doctor Song."
Xu Qiao glanced at him quietly, hinting that he should not show his meaningless love anymore, and Song Mian might have a master!
Song Mian greeted him with a smile, then turned to Xu Qiao: "Happy birthday, it's not convenient to bring in the gift. I just met Assistant Gao at the door, and he said he would hand it over to you."
Xu Qiao thanked him.
Although Jiang Fang didn't know Song Mian, he was the eighth person after he knew him. He slapped his thighs and said, "Yeah, my companion is here! Mr. Lang is still reliable, knowing that the team is in pairs."
Song Mian expressed a gentle and polite attitude towards Jiang Fang's familiarity: "Hello."
"Don't you, you're welcome, Mr. Lang has always been friends when he comes."
The radio rang, reminding guests to start entering the venue, and the entertainment area stood up and walked towards the show.
Xu Qiao saw Jiang Fang and Song Mian walking side by side in harmony, and glanced at Cheng Lang, worried about the possible potential relationship between the two.
Cheng Lang made a boo gesture, indicating that they didn't care about the idiot.
Xu Qiao nodded and decided to pretend that she didn't know.
——
At about six o'clock, the fashion show will start on time.
Xu Qiao sat in the front row with his waist and back straight, and it was obviously not his own show, but he felt sweaty on his palms.
She cherished her efforts so much. The influence of this show is likely to achieve the result of "Xiao He is successful and Xiao He is defeated". She soared into the sky to watch tonight, and she fell into dust tonight.
The lights in the show were dimmed for a moment after the countdown ended. When they lit up again, they were filled with shocking holographic images - echoing the theme of the fashion show "deepsea". The entire show was projected into a dreamy deep sea world. The runway was like a bright undersea tunnel, focusing everyone's eyes.
Some people whispered around, mostly marveling at the design of the show.
When the music started, the model who was starting the show stepped on the drums and crossed the undersea tunnel, the audience's arguments were put on fashion.
Xu Qiao vaguely heard someone praise, saying that Pan De would not disappoint people, and he must go to the exhibition hall to order this dress for the show later.
Someone answered: "Then let it go."
The former said again: "Ah, Yueyue wants it too? Then I won't compete with you!"
She couldn't tell the tone very clearly, but judging from the content of her speech, it seemed that it was Wen Yue and her little sister.
In this case, all the heroes from the Beicheng socialite circle will naturally gather together.
Xu Qiao guessed that in addition to watching the show, they might also want to see what kind of name she could design and why Pan De chose her.
But I don’t know if it is because of Cheng Lang’s attitude towards life that “I let me be sexy”, or because he has entered a new stage of life and no longer resents the harm he has suffered in the past, Xu Qiao no longer cares about the eyes of these people now.
Those who hate you will never be sure of you, whether in your mouth or in your heart.
Let them continue to be jealous of her, and they can't stand her but can't get rid of her. And she no longer wastes a trace of precious energy for this.
Xu Qiao quickly blocked these sounds and focused on watching the show.
There were 48 looks in this show, including as many as twenty pieces of jewelry specially invited Xu Qiao to customize, all of which were exposed for the first time.
After all, it was Pan De's fashion show, and most people's attention was still on their clothes, but Xu Qiao was always paying attention to the jewelry accessories on the models on both sides of the left and right.
After carefully examining a few pieces, Yu Jin moved closer to her and whispered: "Qiao, you have made too much progress in the past six months. I guess after the jewelry tonight is officially released, it may lead the accessory trend in the second half of the year."
With her comment, Xu Qiao's heart was halfway down.
Although Cheng Lang is not an expert, he also gave some opinions from spectators, nodded frequently, and praised her "sense of proportion": "It is not overwhelming, but also adding icing on the cake, and it is just right."
Neither Cheng Lang nor Yu Jin are exaggerated people. Even if they blow rainbow farts, they will not blow to the sky with their eyes closed.
Especially Cheng Lang's tone was faintly proud of "I am worthy of being my baby", and Xu Qiao felt that his rainbow fart was quite sincere.
She leaned into his ear and smiled and said, "Then I will bring honor to Mr. Lang!"
Cheng Lang smiled and held her hand.
However, although it was not too far away, Xu Qiao's design was still nearly halfway through, and the spectators were a little visually tired, which attracted a lot of attention.
Other jewelry is relatively less conspicuous during dynamic walking, and when a model appeared wearing a stunning aquamarine crown, someone recalled the previous scenes of surprise and finally discovered the uniqueness of these jewelry tonight.
Once this head opens, people's attention will naturally be distributed to these jewelry. As more and more uninformed viewers talk about fashion and ask about the origin of these jewelry, Xu Qiao completely settled down.
As the fashion show approaches the end, the finale is on stage. Everyone is amazed enthusiastically, not sure whether it is for the dazzling fishtail skirt or the pocket watch necklace on it.
This is not the first time Cheng Lang has seen this pocket watch, but when he sees it again, he is still proud of its designers.
The fine pavé craftsmanship carat group diamonds are inlaid in snowflakes, depicting a magnificent sea view on the dial. The image of the hour hand is a mermaid, and the image of the minute hand is a prince. Because of the unconventional distribution of the dial numbers and the special structure of the movement, when the time reaches twelve o'clock, the hour hand and the minute hand will meet on the bridge set up by the seagull, and have a deep kiss.
In Andersen's fairy tale, the prince married her and the mermaid turned into a bubble. The ending was an unreliable tragedy. In this dial, the minute hand chased the hour hand day after day, and the hour hand slowly waited for the minute hand. No matter how difficult the process was, they would eventually meet.
This creativity not only combines the fairy tale of mermaids, but also the concept of "Twelve Points" comes from the story of Cinderella, and the concept of "seagull builds a bridge" is extended from the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meeting the magpie bridge. It can be said that it embodies countless romantic complexes from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
The fashion show ended successfully and the lights were on. When Pan De came on stage to deliver a speech, he especially thanked the jewelry designer Yu Li, who was the fashion show's partner, and the pocket watch necklace she brought.
Pan De praised him for coming here, and the camera moved to Xu Qiao and also brought Cheng Lang beside her.
The two appeared on the large screen of the show. There were rustling sounds below, either sighing at the outstanding appearance of the pair, or talking about their origins.
"I once asked Miss Yuli where the design inspiration for this pocket watch necklace came from?" Pande stood in front of the upright microphone and smiled at her, "She expressed two words to me implicitly - love."
Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang kept a decent smile and looked at the large screen ahead.
As Pan De continued to talk, the camera gradually moved away, and Xu Qiao suddenly paused.
Because she was still in the range of the camera, she quickly resumed expression management after being stunned, but her eyes became a little erratic.
She didn't know if she was dazzled. She seemed to see a familiar figure in the back corner of the show through the large screen.
Pande's speech became a blurred background sound, and she could not hear anything, her eyes chasing the camera for the figure that had just flashed by.
Cheng Lang gently patted the back of her hand as if he knew what she was doing to comfort her.
After the camera completely left her, she turned her head and looked at Cheng Lang in shock.
Cheng Lang nodded at her and affirmed her guess.
Pan De's speech in the second half became particularly long for Xu Qiao. Her heart was pulsing extremely violently, and she couldn't rest as she waited for the fashion show to come to an end. When the audience finally got up and left, she stood anxiously on tiptoe, looking at the moving heads in the distance, grabbing Cheng Lang's arm and asking, "Where has my dad been?"
Cheng Lang greeted Zhu Liyujin and others, took her to the VIP channel and left the venue early. On the way, he explained to her: "I sent an invitation letter to your father and booked a plane ticket. He always expressed his unwillingness to attend, but I found out that he boarded the flight today. I think he might want to see your debut, but I don't know how to face you, so he has been hiding in the corner. Don't worry, he shouldn't have gone far."
Xu Qiao nodded, and her high heels stomped on her.
Cheng Lang called Gao Rui, hung up and said, "Don't worry, I've stopped someone, at the south gate."
Xu Qiao rushed to the south gate and heard Gao Rui using his three-inch tongue to coax and deceive Xu Kangrong.
"Dad!" Xu Qiao ran over with the hem of the skirt.
Xu Kangrong froze all over, turned around, kicked his feet, and pointed at Gao Rui angrily: "I knew, I knew you were uneasy!"
