The Outcast Heiress's Secret Identities-Chapter 977 - 947: Who Is More Worth Investing In

Who in Country A doesn’t know that the C in CE stands for the Claire Family.

The Claire Family holds an extraordinary status in Country A, even the Royal Family must show them some respect.

The world’s most lavish Nixi Ball was founded by the Claire Family, and although the hosting rights have now been handed over to the Royal Family of Country A, who doesn’t know the importance of the Claire Family in it?

Therefore, those who travel to Country A to attend the ball, whether to show deference to the Claire Family or to establish connections with them, will definitely choose CE.

In Country A, clothes from other brands are for wearing; CE is for showing importance.

Over time, CE has become a tacit understanding in Country A’s social scene, turning into the social currency of the country’s elite circles!

And why is Queen considered global fashion’s social currency?

Of course, it’s because of its designer Ran!

Who is Ran?

The seven-time champion of the World Designer Competition, before her identity was revealed, none of her designs were available on the market.

In other words, not only purchasing Ran’s designs but even seeing one is a luxury.

And where can one see Ran’s designs?

The official showroom and museum of Country Y!

What kind of items qualify for these places?

National treasures!

Ran’s designs have already reached the level of national treasures.

And when the Imperial Family of Country Y announced: Princess Avril personally invited Ran to design her gown for this year’s Nixi Ball, it indicated that CE was no longer the only choice for the Nixi Ball!

This indirectly undermined CE’s value as the social currency in Country A.

Coupled with Hua Country simultaneously announcing Ran’s involvement in official designs, this undoubtedly added a golden touch to Ran’s creations.

In this manner, how could Ran’s self-created brand Queen not be global fashion’s social currency?

What is a brand?

A brand is not about who you are, it’s about who it allows users to become!

Mercedes-Benz turns users into urban elites, Rolls-Royce turns users into nobles, Rolex turns users into successful people.

And Queen, it makes users true queens!

Wearing designs at the level of national treasures, how could one not be a queen?

This is Paris Fashion Week, it’s not about the value of the goods, it’s about the value of the brand and the designer.

In today’s design circle, who would dare say they are more valuable than Ran?

Although Ella Claire has the Claire Family behind her, she’s still not a direct lineage of the Claire Family.

However, Ran has the Imperial Family of Country Y, the official backing of Hua Country, and even the support of the global fashion circle.

They are businessmen, and naturally, they know who holds greater investment value.

The person beside turned pale, and upon realizing the reasoning within, Chu Xiyao’s face became even paler than paper, devoid of any color.

It’s this way...

So this is how it is!

But it’s already too late.

Qianran International’s stock had already surpassed CE as soon as Ran’s name was uttered, its haute couture crushing all other brands present with an awe-inspired stance.

Those who originally underestimated Queen regretted deeply, feeling as if they were bleeding internally.

Whereas those who chose Queen naturally profited abundantly.

The organizers had originally arranged the two brands consecutively to create intrigue, and now the clear contrast in results made the previously highly anticipated CE instantly become a subject of ridicule.

Second floor VIP room.

Xie Jue looked at the expressionless Chu Jiyang with admiration and respect on his face.

No wonder he was just an assistant; from the beginning, he only saw the surface question.

CE was strong, and coupled with Ella Claire’s special status, he subconsciously assumed CE would be the uncrowned king of today’s show.

But the Family Head saw deeper issues, with such keen insights, it is no surprise the Family Head is often dissatisfied with Miss Xiyao.

Downstairs, the host finally finished an extensive introduction of Su Ran.

Although the victory was decided, everyone’s eyes were still focused on the runway.

The opening is still Xi Jian.

Xi Jian wore a red fitted mermaid dress, the mermaid tail naturally draped from the skirt to the waist, extending backward to form a fishtail, perfectly outlining the curves of the figure.

The surface of the dress was adorned with shimmering crystals, reflecting light to dazzle like starlight, enhancing the sense of luxury while giving the gown more ’breathability’ under lighting.

The hem of the skirt was slit on one side, revealing leg lines when walking, retaining the gown’s dignity while adding dynamic beauty.

Xi Jian’s right hand held a silver sequin clutch, the material complementing the shimmering crystals on the dress, with butterfly-patterned mesh face accessories connected to tassel long earrings, gently swaying with movement, adding a touch of refinement to the look, and red high heels beneath reinforced the sense of luxury.

Upon seeing this red gown, the scene fell into silence instantly, utterly hushed.

The next second, the sound of gasps for breath echoed continuously.

"Hiss..."

"So beautiful..."

"Ahhh, how can it be this beautiful? I always thought red was gaudy."

"Opulent elegance rushes over me, it’s simply mesmerizing!"

"The bag in Xi Jian’s hand is also so nice, and the face piece, matched with the look, is absolutely stunning!"

"Ran truly understands us, knows how to capture our hearts!"

"..."

The endless compliments filled the air, and amid the showering praise came Daisy in a water-blue gown, the front hem designed short to reveal the leg lines, both accentuating the figure and adding a light touch.

The back hem features layered tulle forming fluffy ’wave’ tiers, gently swaying with each stride to create a three-dimensional effect of rippling water, evoking waves in the deep sea, vibrant and dreamy.

The crowd hadn’t yet come to their senses when He Yingfei appeared in a pink gown, adorned with feathers, utilizing shiny satin, the dress employing extensive pink feather embellishments from shoulders to hem, sleeves abundantly covered, preserving the feather’s fluffy lightness while crafting a dreamlike feel.

The strapless design adhered precisely to the neck and bust curves, with side waist cutouts for skin exposure, visually elongating leg lines and breaking the feather’s heaviness.

The gown’s trailing hem had feather decorations naturally cascading from the waist to the floor, with sleeves exaggerated into feathered bell sleeves, intensifying the ceremonial feel of the look.

The neck was adorned with a Choker-style necklace refining neck lines, serving as an accent piece for the gown, and multi-layer tassel earrings with the gown’s sequins, feather elements forming style unification, rendering the overall look richer in texture and luxury.

"Hiss..."

The sound of gasps for breath arose repeatedly on-site.

Chu Ling wearing a blue-purple gradient gown, the dress displayed a transition from light blue, deep blue, to purple tones from top to bottom, with the top featuring sequin and shell adornments, light reflecting to refract dazzling spots, instantaneously becoming the visual focus.

The skirt made extensive use of thin tulle, paired with blue-purple feathers, employing three-dimensional embroidery with hand-sewn flowers and butterflies dotted among the tulle layers.

The floor-length skirt matched with fluffy tulle and feathers, sending layers of romantic and luxurious visual shockwaves.

Other designers extend various styles from the same collection.

Whereas Su Ran’s design offers only one set from a collection, converging with everything from opulence, sensuality, romance, luxury, sweetness, elegance, none repeated.
