The crowd was incredibly astonished by the stunning Puerile Phoenix and Wen Xinya’s ravishing glamor.
The reporters seemed to have forgotten to do their jobs as they whipped out their personal mobile phones and began snapping photos from every angle, in a bid to capture the most beautiful photo.
Si Yiyan’s eyes glistened, though he had never once shifted them away from her body.
Silver was an austere and sacred color which was deemed as the most mysterious and godly color to the Westerners. Its prestige, extravagance, luxe, purity and eternal sacredness were perfectly carried out by Wen Xinya.
Gold symbolized power and prestige and was a color that could not be disrespected in the eyes of the Chinese. Gold represented unrivaled power, glory, extravagance, nobility, and elegance. It also had an irresistible charm.
Most colors could not be pulled off easily by most people. Due to the fact that gold and silver were extremely prestigious, they tended to make most people feel like they did not deserve to dress in those colors and hence, induced an inferiority complex within them.
Hence, gold and silver were mostly used for decorations and jewelry, because no one dared to use or wear them brazenly.
Si Yiyan initially thought that Wen Xinya’s most outstanding moment of the night would be when she stood on the runway dressed in the black velvet dress that he had prepared for her, together with the jewelry designed and left behind for her by her mother.
To his surprise, this very moment turned out to be the one where she was breathtakingly stunning and beautiful.
Staring at Wen Xinya standing on the runway, Old Mr. Wen smiled and thought to himself that Wen Xinya was indeed the only person who could pull off the phoenix-themed jewelry perfectly.
Even Wen Haowen had no choice but to admit that Wen Xinya indeed looked extremely outstanding at this very moment and he had no objections at all.
However, Ning Shuqian glowered at Wen Xinya with a menacing expression. Her gaze was so intense that it seemed to be able to bear a hole through her body.
Although she had long planned for Wen Xinya to model Puerile Phoenix during the finale, she still hated the fact that Wen Xinya shone outstandingly. Ning Shuqian had intentionally caused the model who was supposed to model Puerile Phoenix to get into a car accident that she had plotted and deliberately created. She then coerced Wen Haowen into suggesting to the shareholders that Wen Xinya model the set of jewelry, after which the shareholders tried to convince Old Mr. Wen.
She was certain that Old Mr. Wen would definitely agree since he often grasped every opportunity to help Wen Xinya gain fame and reputation.
As expected, everything was within her control.
Although Wen Xinya was going to steal the limelight during the finale, Ning Shuqian was confident of teaching her a lesson and causing her to end up in a pathetic plight later on.
However, she felt extremely jealous when she saw how glorious Wen Xinya was.
Bitch, I’ll let you be smug for now, but you won’t be happy for too long!
Her lips then curled into a sinister smile as she squinted at the large chandelier above Wen Xinya.
At this moment, Wen Xinya had already arrived in front of the microphone. “I’m sure all of you are feeling perplexed and confused as to why I’m modeling Puerile Phoenix instead of the international supermodel whom the Wen Corporation claimed would be showcasing the jewelry set.”
Completely ignoring the fact that they were at a banquet, Wen Xinya’s die-hard fans immediately yelled, “Her Majesty, you’re the best and you’re irreplaceable!”
Of course, there was obviously more to the matter and everyone was rather curious about it.
Wen Xinya continued to explain, “That model happened to get into a car accident while on her way to the exhibition and unfortunately, couldn’t make it. So… I was made to fill in for her at the last minute. I hope everyone is pleased with the set of jewelry that I’ve just modeled.”
Actually, she was extremely nervous when she was in the dressing room, and her heart palpitated vigorously. However, she somehow managed to feel much calmer after putting on Puerile Phoenix.
At this moment, one of the reporters asked out of the blue, “Just now, the emcee said that this set of jewelry, Puerile Phoenix, was designed by your mother during her pregnancy and that she had designed it for you. Is that true?”
Everyone naturally believed it because they had all witnessed how well the jewelry suited Wen Xinya. It was as if there was a chemistry between Wen Xinya and Puerile Phoenix.
Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “Actually, that can’t be verified, but I believe that it’s real. Some of you may not know this, but gold actually means ‘light’ in Latin and it’s a symbolization of the awakening of life. In Ancient Egyptian, gold means ‘the touchable sun’, thus representing warmth and happiness. In China, gold symbolizes wealth and glory. I guess she wanted me to become a phoenix! That’s the most beautiful thing a mother can hope for her daughter.”
She reckoned… that that must have been the source of her mother’s inspiration.
She managed to feel the significance of it.
Hence, she felt warm, fuzzy and blissful inside when she was making her way onto the runway while donning Puerile Phoenix.
Wen Xinya’s words took everyone by surprise. She managed to convey her understanding of her mother’s masterpiece and maternal love for her with eloquence and emotion.
The reporters seemed to have finally recovered from the shock. They hurriedly rushed forward and asked, “Miss Wen, could you share with us how you feel about wearing Puerile Phoenix that Madam Mo Yunyao, your mother, designed for you?”
Everyone had completely forgotten about the mystery supermodel and was attracted to Wen Xinya.
After a moment of thought, Wen Xinya answered, “I’m very grateful to my mother, Mo Yunyao, for giving me life. She has used her life to tell me how precious life is. She has also used Puerile Phoenix to express her love for me. I’m wearing the love and hope that she has for me, right now. From now on… I’ll never be lonely!”
She did not envy those who had their mothers by their sides, because she was enjoying just as much maternal love as them.
The reporters continued to bombard her with questions.
Wen Xinya answered tactfully.
The crowd would cheer enthusiastically every now and then.
The atmosphere was lively and boisterous.
Bang!
All of a sudden, a dense and loud sound came from the runway, though only a few people noticed it because of the miscellaneous noises in the background.
However, Wen Xinya heard it and her pupils constricted before she screeched. “Hurry and move!”
Her anxious voice made the atmosphere become tense and austere all of a sudden. Everyone instinctively moved away from the runway.
The large chandelier went out with a loud sound.
Everyone’s hearts wrenched up.
