Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 985 0970 [Fashion Emperor]

All the younger members of the Guan family went downstairs to get dressed, while Guan Jiahui stood there talking to her mother.

When the old lady saw this, she snorted coldly and said, "Don't just stand here like an idiot because you think you're beautiful. Go get ready, change your clothes, and welcome the guests."

Guan Jiahui opened her mouth to refute, but her mother Zhang Bingqian stopped her with a look. The two bowed to the old lady and said, "Yes, we will do it now!"

Come to the changing room.

The girls are all changing their clothes.

The coming-of-age ceremony only happens once in a lifetime, so everyone takes it very seriously and prepares new clothes in advance.

Guan Jiamei was wearing a gorgeous evening gown, like Snow White descending into the world.

Guan Jiamei looked at Guan Jiahui's clothes. Although they were also expensive, they were not of super high quality.

This is not surprising. Although Guan Jiahui's parents are both big stars, her mother has retired from the film industry for many years and her father has no movies to shoot. The family can't even pay the water and electricity bills, so how can they have the money to buy her a beautiful evening dress?
Originally, Guan Yueshan, the father, wanted to pretend to be rich and buy a Chanel brand evening dress for his daughter, but he shut up when asked about the price.

He donated a lot of money to the last charity event, but now he really can't take out even a penny.

He wanted to ask some colleagues to borrow money, but they either said they were short of money or were busy and would ask after they were done.

Guan Yueshan was shy and stopped talking.

Finally, he had no other choice but to borrow some costumes from the crew as an emergency measure. After all, all the evening gowns were similar and no one could tell whether they were real or fake.

This extremely clever idea was rejected by his wife Zhang Bingqian.

What my wife meant was very simple. Those who came here that day were all big bosses or prominent figures. No matter how stupid or mentally retarded these people were, they could still tell the difference between a costume and an evening gown.

This sentence made Guan Yueshan feel so ashamed that he spread his hands, meaning that he didn't care anymore and let his wife handle it.

Zhang Bingqian had no money, but she was very clever, so she took out an evening dress she had worn before, modified it a little, and put it on her daughter.

This evening dress is more than ten years old. It was bought at great expense by Zhang Bingqian when she was very popular on the screen and attended a star party. She never had the chance to wear it after she retired, so it has been hidden in the closet. Now it is taken out and put on by Guan Jiahui. You have to say, it fits her very well.

Guan Jiahui is a beautiful person. In fact, even if she wears tattered clothes, she is still radiant. Even though she is wearing this outdated evening dress now, she still kills girls of the same age in seconds.

For example, this Guan Jiamei in front of us.

Guan Jiamei looked at Guan Jiahui, who looked more like a princess than herself. She couldn't hold back her jealousy any longer and said, "Jiahui, what's going on? Are you going to wear this dress to attend the coming-of-age ceremony today? I'm not being nosy, I just want to kindly remind you that the people here today are all upper-class people, many of whom have business dealings with our Guan family. We can't let your presence affect our Guan family's reputation. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Guan Jiahui felt uncomfortable and said, "Of course I understand. Are you afraid that I will bring shame to the Guan family?"

"Smart! I knew you would understand! Here, if you really don't have any clothes, just tell me. After all, you and I are cousins, and we are connected by blood. I still have a few nice sets of clothes. If you ask to borrow them, I'm willing to lend them to you!" After saying that, he put on a condescending attitude, waiting for Guan Jiahui to ask him for help.

Guan Jiahui smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but what should I do? I think this dress is pretty good. It was once worn by my mother. Isn't it beautiful?"

"Hahaha!" Guan Jiamei sneered and pointed at the clothes on Guan Jiahui, "Jiahui, Jiahui, is there something wrong with my aesthetic sense, or do you simply not understand fashion? Look at your clothes, they are simply antiques! What are you playing at? Are you playing retro style? Hahaha! Let me tell you, this dress is older than you are. If you wear it out today, I guarantee that you will stun everyone. Of course, you know best what this stunner means! I'm afraid you'll piss the old lady off to death!"

Guan Jiahui was a little annoyed by what she said.

Several other sisters also chimed in, "Yes, Jiahui, Jiamei is right! Today is an important day, and we can't let our entire family be discredited because of you!"

"Jiahui, just beg Jiamei. She has a lot of beautiful clothes. She can pick one for you at random. It's better than an old antique like you!"

"Jiahui, stop being so stubborn! What's the point of being beautiful? This evening gown is so tacky!"

Everyone was talking at once, saying that Guan Jiahui's evening dress was too old and ugly, and that she was bringing shame to the Guan family.

It is already not easy for Guan Jiahui to deal with Guan Jiamei alone, and now she has to deal with so many "good sisters", which makes it even more difficult.

Just when Guan Jiahui didn't know what to do--
Outside the Guan family mansion, a voice sounded--
"Excuse me, is Miss Guan here? I'm here to deliver your evening gown, as someone asked me to do."

"Uh, what is it?"

"What clothes?"

Everyone was surprised and ran out to see what was going on.

Outside the mansion,

There were eight foreigners standing there, all wearing tuxedos, bow ties, and white gloves. Each of them was holding a box and standing proudly at the door of Guan's house.

Among these foreigners, there was a man with silver hair, sunglasses, a ponytail, and super fashionable clothes.

The man was about forty years old and behaved like a king. He stood out among the foreigners and his brilliance could be spotted at first glance.

"He, he is...Karl Lagerfeld?"

Guan Jiamei recognized this unique man at a glance, wearing sunglasses, with white hair and a pigtail!

This person is none other than the future "Caesar" of the fashion industry, Karl Lagerfeld, who is known as "Karl Lagerfeld"!
Of course, Karl Lagerfeld is not as famous as he will be in the future, but in his forties he has already shown his brilliance in the fashion industry and has become an indispensable king in the fashion industry, or the future king!
Tickets for every fashion show he holds are sold out, and major international brands are vying to work with him to develop their brands.

It is even said that his appearance fee for every fashion show is as high as six figures, and it is calculated in US dollars!

That’s not all. What makes the fashion industry, especially the ladies who love beauty, talk about it with great relish is that each of Karl Lagerfeld’s fashion works costs up to millions!

Even so, there are still countless people who flock to it and want to be the first to own this piece, because for them, being the first to own or obtain Karl Lagerfeld's work and wear it on their body will be a symbol of identity and status, and it is the dream of women all over the world.

Such a big man who can dominate the fashion industry, at this moment, appeared at the door of Guan family with a group of people like a butler, and said that he was here to deliver clothes to people. How could this situation not surprise people?
Seeing this fashion master, Guan Jiamei was shaking with excitement.

The other girls also became excited.

"Really? It's really Carl!"

"Oh my god, I'm so excited!"

"I'm dying! Hurry up, wake me up, am I dreaming?"

Anyone would be extremely excited to have a world-famous fashion master standing at their doorstep.

Fashion guru Karl saw a group of people looking at him but no one stepped forward, so he couldn't help but ask again: "Excuse me, who is Miss Guan? Here is an evening dress for you!"

Guan Jiamei immediately ran out and shouted in surprise: "It's me! It's me!"

The other girls looked on with envy.

"Jiamei is so lucky!"

"Yes, she is very lucky to have this fashion guru come to deliver clothes in person!"

Everyone was extremely jealous and thought that it was Guan Jiamei's father who helped to create the scene. However, Guan Jiamei's father Guan Yueqing was wondering if it was his daughter's foreign admirer who created the scene? He didn't expect his daughter to know such a big shot, which was really a cause for celebration! If it was true, he would definitely burst into tears.

Fashion guru Karl looked at Guan Jiamei who ran out to claim her evening gown. She seemed to be different from the one in the photo. He frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Are you Miss Guan Jiahui?
"what?"

Everyone was stunned.

Guan Jiamei’s smile froze.

Aren’t you looking for your own?

Looking for Guan Jiahui?
Guan Jiahui's parents, Guan Yueshan and Zhang Bingqian, widened their eyes in surprise and stretched their necks: "What's going on? Why are you looking for our Jiahui?"

At this time, a timid voice came from behind Karl Lagerfeld: "Hello, Mr. Karl, I am Guan Jiahui, are you looking for me?"

Fashion guru Carl suddenly smiled, changing his cold attitude just now. He smiled and said to Guan Jiahui: "Miss Guan is really bright and beautiful, even more beautiful than in the photo!"

Guan Jiahui looked at the other person with a confused look on her face. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, did Mr. Du ask you to come?"

"Hahaha! That's right! That's right!" Karl laughed. "It was indeed Mr. Du who asked me to come. As the most distinguished guest of our fashion studio, I have admired Mr. Du for a long time. I didn't expect that I could help him this time. It's really an honor!"

The fashion guru sighed.

This fashion guru, who was sought after by countless people and even bigwigs even though he had to pay money, kept expressing his feelings that being able to work for Mr. Du was something worth showing off and something worth remembering for a lifetime.

Everyone was stunned, and all of them had the same thought in their minds: "Who is that Mr. Du? Why is he so famous?"

"I'm sorry, Miss Guan, I just finished a fashion show in Paris and took a flight overnight to catch up. Unfortunately, I'm still a little late. I'm very sorry about this." Carl said.

Guan Jiahui didn't expect Du Yongxiao to give her such a big surprise.

She called Du Yongxiao that day just to find someone to talk to and tell him about some things that made her feel uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, Du Yongxiao took her words to heart and arranged such a big surprise for her.

For a moment, Guan Jiahui was very excited, but more importantly, she was happy.

Seeing Karl apologizing to her and saying that he came too late, Guan Jiahui hurriedly said: "It's okay! It's okay! I still want to thank you for coming all the way from Paris--"

Fashion guru Karl continued, "What are you talking about? As long as Mr. Du asks me to do so, I would be happy to come here from Egypt, not to mention Paris!"

After saying that, Karl turned his head and looked at everyone, his expression returned to his previous arrogant attitude, and said: “Where is the fitting room? Our team will tailor it for Miss Guan.”

Everyone looked at each other.

Finally, Guan Yuejun, the head of the Guan family, stepped forward and said, "They are inside. Someone, take Mr. Karl and the others in!"

"Yes, sir!"

The servant came forward.

Karl turned his face from arrogant and indifferent to amiable, and said to Guan Jiahui with a smile: "Let's go, my princess! I will dress you up beautifully and make you the queen of the banquet tonight!"

After saying that, Karl took Guan Jiahui's hand gracefully and walked towards the Guan family mansion.

Watching this fashion icon enter the room,

Everyone frowned.

What tricks are you doing?
How could this little girl Guan Jiahui have such power?

Who is that Mr. Du?

On one side——
The head of the sect, Guan Yuejun, couldn't help it. "Third brother, please come over here! I have something to ask you--"

Everyone looked towards Guan Yueshan.

Guan Yueshan hurriedly brought his wife forward.

"Brother, what's the matter?"

"Tell me, who is that Mr. Du? What is his relationship with Jiahui?"

The second child, Guan Yueqing, and his daughter, Guan Jiamei, and others all pricked up their ears.

Guan Yueshan coughed lightly and glanced at his wife.

In fact, he is also very confused now.

Helpless, Zhang Bingqian had to answer on behalf of her husband: "He is... Jiahui's boyfriend. Well, I arranged a blind date for them."

boom!
Blast!

Guan Jiahui’s boyfriend?
Met through a blind date?
Did something go wrong?
Is this justified?
Can I get to know such an amazing person through a blind date?

What a liar!
Guan Yuejun certainly didn't believe it. Now the old lady was still waiting for a reply inside. There was a commotion outside and she didn't know what had happened. If she knew that her least promising granddaughter actually had a boyfriend with connections, how would she imagine?

"Third brother, and sister-in-law, please stop talking nonsense. Did you meet through a blind date?"

"It was indeed through a blind date that we met."

"Then let me ask you, what does Mr. Du do?"

"this---"

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads together: "I don't know."

"Then let me ask you again, where does he live, how many people are there in his family, and what is his family situation like?"

"this---"

The couple looked at each other and shook their heads together: "We still don't know."

Guan Yuejun was so angry that he almost laughed.

Others looked at them and found it funny.

"You said Jiahui met her boyfriend through a blind date, but you know nothing about him. Do you think this makes sense?"

Guan Yueshan and his wife lowered their heads together: "We... really don't know! We don't know what that Du guy does, where he lives, what his family background is like——"

Everyone shook their heads. Who has ever seen parents like this?
Guan Yuejun sighed: "Okay, I won't embarrass you! As for who Mr. Du is, maybe we will find out soon!"
