From Runaway Bride to Global Queen-Chapter 26 - : Lu Yanchuan’s Eldest Sister

Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Lu Yanchuan’s Eldest Sister

Stepping out of the elevator, this entire floor was Lu Xiaohua’s office, and Lu Xiaohua was sitting right behind the desk facing the elevator.

Without even turning around, Lu Xiaohua knew Lu Yanchuan was coming, which greatly surprised Qiao Yi. Could Lu Xiaohua predict the future?

“This level is mostly just me and two assistants. Only Yanchuan usually comes up here, you can also come by often when you’re free.”

Seeing Qiao Yi’s confusion, Lu Xiaohua explained while pouring water for the two of them.

“Is this Qiao Yi? You’re really beautiful! My place is a bit messy, just find somewhere to sit, I’ll be done here soon.”

Lu Xiaohua glanced over, hurriedly gestured for them to sit, and then turned back to continue working on the mannequin… with scraps of fabric on it.

...

Qiao Yi curiously looked around, the office space was large but stuffed full, and the areas on both sides were exhibition rooms enclosed by glass, displaying various bizarre clothes.

After waiting a while, Lu Xiaohua finally finished with the piece of clothing she was handling and stood up stretching mightily.

Only then did Qiao Yi see what Lu Xiaohua was working on – a Gothic Lolita costume, though it looked a bit odd with only half of it dressed on the mannequin.

“Big sister, I brought Yiyi here for tonight’s charity gala, hoping you could help pick out a couple of dresses.”

Lu Yanchuan stood up and followed Lu Xiaohua into the only room that was not made of glass walls, with Qiao Yi following closely behind.

The three entered the room, which looked more like a sitting room, albeit there was also a bed placed to the side.

“What kind of gown does Yiyi like? I’ll show you some downstairs.”

The three sat for a while before Lu Xiaohua led them down the stairs from there.

If Lu Xiaohua’s office had just surprised Qiao Yi, this floor left her speechless.

The entire floor, aside from a few load-bearing walls, was completely open, divided into about a dozen workshops with glass partitions, with several people actively working inside and out.

“Qiao Deng, bring over the designs of the new gowns from this quarter.”

Lu Xiaohua walked to one of the glass doors and called inside; a bearded man looked up, responded, and quickly fetched a few design books for Lu Xiaohua.

“Take a look, see if there’s anything you like.”

Holding four or five heavy books, Qiao Yi couldn’t help but turn to look at Lu Yanchuan, but then heard Lu Xiaohua laugh.

“Don’t look at him. He’s the last one who likes to pick clothes; I have to personally choose and send them to him. He’s quite fussy.”

Lu Xiaohua took Qiao Yi to a bench nearby and started flipping through the top book, explaining the features of each gown and some tips for regular dressing. Soon, the two were enthusiastically discussing.

Lu Yanchuan deeply realized he shouldn’t have brought Qiao Yi here today, or rather, he should never have let Qiao Yi meet Lu Xiaohua in the first place.

Who could tell him why these two could discuss the color of just one dress for ten minutes and even ask for his opinion?

Lu Yanchuan would rather go back to work on his documents than stay and be tormented by two women.

When Qiao Yi and Lu Xiaohua were both completely satisfied, Lu Yanchuan was sitting nearby having just finished a telephone conference.

“Ready to go?”

“Not yet, big sister is taking me to do makeup and try on clothes, you go ahead if you’ve got things to do, big sister will take me later.”

With big sister, who needs a husband? Qiao Yi decisively abandoned Lu Yanchuan, led by Lu Xiaohua to the dressing rooms downstairs.

So it’s said that enemies often cross each other’s paths. Qiao Yi, chatting and laughing with Lu Xiaohua, stepped out of the elevator, and right there in front of them were Qiao Xin, Lu Ming, and Wang Zhen.

“Why are there so many people today? You don’t even see this many people when we go to dad’s place to eat.”

Wang Zhen really looks down on these two daughters of the Qiao Family.

Originally, it was already settled that Qiao Yi was to marry Lu Ming due to the union between the two families.

But what Qiao Yi did before the wedding, and then marrying Yanchuan, whom she had always disliked, on the wedding day itself, dramatically dropped Wang Zhen’s impression of her.

Wang Zhen thought that it was all settled once Qiao Yi married Yanchuan, but unexpectedly, Lu Ming then went on to marry Qiao Yi’s sister!

Now, both sisters had ended up marrying uncle and nephew, and she had heard plenty of gossip about it lately!

Because of these matters, Wang Zhen disdained Qiao Yi and Qiao Xin even more, and today, when she went out to pick clothes with Qiao Xin, did not show her any kindness.

If it hadn’t been for Lu Ming continuously mediating, she would have not tolerated Qiao Xin long ago!

But just Qiao Xin alone wasn’t enough, now Qiao Yi also appeared, both sisters coming together to disgust her!

Qiao Yi didn’t know where Wang Zhen’s malice towards her stemmed from, but she did not want to cause trouble at Lu Xiaohua’s place, so she followed Lu Xiaohua, ignoring Wang Zhen’s snide remarks.

She did not want to cause trouble, but that did not mean Wang Zhen was willing to let her go, stepping sideways to block Qiao Yi’s path.

Qiao Yi looked at Wang Zhen in front of her, frowning with impatience.

“What do you want?”

“I just want to know what kind of family education does Qiao Family have, where one after another insists on clinging onto others?”

“Little Sister-in-law, this is my studio. If you want to choose clothes, go downstairs; if not, then please leave quickly.”

Lu Xiaohua pulled Qiao Yi behind her, looking at Wang Zhen expressionlessly.

Qiao Yi glanced quietly and felt that Lu Xiaohua’s stern face looked exactly like Yanchuan.

Wang Zhen never expected that the usually non-confrontational Lu Xiaohua would stand up for a newly married sister-in-law, which did not fit her usual style at all!

Lu Xiaohua ignored whatever Wang Zhen was thinking, seeing that she did not respond, then led Qiao Yi around her.

But before they could get away, they were stopped by someone else.

“Aunt, hello, I am Lu Ming’s wife, Qiao Xin. Are you going to try on clothes? Could you please take me with you?”

Qiao Xin’s smile was proper, warm but not overly ingratiating.

However, Lu Xiaohua didn’t seem to like her much, looking back at Qiao Yi and seeing that Qiao Yi had no reaction, she then nodded.

“Follow if you want to.”

Qiao Xin smiled gently and came over to link arms with Qiao Yi.

“You’re also attending the Capital City charity gala tonight, right? We could go together.”

So that was her plan!

Qiao Yi finally understood Qiao Xin’s intention; she just wanted to cling to her to get close to Yanchuan!

But was Yanchuan someone she could approach just because she wanted to?

Qiao Yi gripped Qiao Xin’s hand in return, also looking very happy.

“Sure, we can share Yanchuan’s car tonight!”
