1760 Chapter 1762 the nouveau riche Madam 1
As the dinner was more formal and was held in the Vice President’s residence, Gu Qiqi could not appear in a white shirt and jeans as usual to show her respect.
She had to pick a dress.
When she opened the wardrobe and looked for clothes, she realized that she had not had the mood to buy new clothes in the past three years.
The closet was filled with luxurious evening gowns. All of them were custom-made by the top designer, Beigong Xiaojiu, that year.
Now, Beigong Xiaojiu had become her husband’s sister in name, while her former lover, Gong Jue, was still unknown.
She was beautiful, but every single one of them could bring back memories of the past. When she wore them, she was filled with the smell of Gong Jue and Gong Jue’s taste.
How could it not make people sigh and feel sad?
Gu Qiqi pursed her lips and closed the wardrobe.
After thinking for a moment, she opened the wardrobe again and in the corner, she pulled out a pearl white dress with a one-sided collar and pearl inlaid. It was simple and generous, but it grew to her ankles and looked slightly grand.
This was not ordered by Gong Jue.
It was the wedding dress that Beigong Mingtian had ordered for her back then.
But in the end, it was by a fluke of fate that Wu 19 wore a more grand and complicated palace style wedding dress and married him.
Gu Qiqi thought about it and decided to just use this dress. She took out a pair of scissors and without feeling the slightest bit of heartache, she cut off the bridal gown hem with a few snips, directly exposing her calves.
This way, it would be more neat and everyday, and it would not look like a wedding dress anymore.
She tried it on and found that it was not bad.
Because she had designed a wedding dress in the past, it was even tighter than a normal dress. When she wore it in the past, she had to tie her stomach and take in a deep breath from time to time to maintain the perfect shape of the dress.
Now, she did not have that worry because she had lost a lot of weight compared to three years ago. It was just right for her to wear it.
On the other hand, Gong Jue had bought so many dresses and skirts before. Even if she had the courage to wear them, she could not wear any of them. If they were too loose, she would look very haggard..
After changing into the modified version of the dress, Gu Qiqi wore a simple handbag. It was a small bag that beigong Niannian’s aunt, Beigong Xiaojiu, had given to the children as snacks, she wore a pair of comfortable pearl-colored lambskin flats that Chu Junmo had brought back from his last business trip. She also casually brushed her hair and quietly left the house.
When she arrived at the Vice President’s residence, it was already dusk.
Under the sunset glow, she slowly walked up the steps. Her originally low-key and light pearl-colored dress was exceptionally dazzling after being dyed with the sunset glow. It immediately attracted a large number of gazes, both men and women.
Gu Qiqi didn’t stop for those gazes. She elegantly signed her name on the red carpet for the welcoming guests. She didn’t even stop to take photos and directly stepped into the long corridor leading to the banquet hall.
At that moment, because there were still many people walking down the red carpet to take pictures, the long corridor was slightly quieter.
However, the moment Gu Qiqi appeared, a group of servants and a few female attendants immediately surrounded a noble madam. They came walking down another long corridor and bumped into Gu Qiqi.
That noble madam had quite a grand presence. There were at least thirteen to fourteen servants and her golden gauze dress was also extremely grand. It was even more complicated than Wu nineteen’s wedding gown back then and she even had a heavy diamond crown on her head, a layer of black gauze hung before her face. Even though it looked grand, she still felt that she had used too much force. This golden and black outfit did not have the aura of a nobleman, and instead, it gave off the feeling of a nouveau riche.
In comparison, the clothes of the few female attendants and servants around the woman were still considered normal.
However, Gu Qiqi was not keen on judging others’taste.
She only glanced at them briefly before taking the initiative to give way and let this noble lady go first.
After all, there were many people over there, and she wasn’t in a hurry. It didn’t matter if she gave way.
However, that noble lady suddenly stopped.
