Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 1019: Where I stand

"Hey, did you hear? Some fashion disaster happened at the last moment and now Wang Xia will be Ren Mui's model!"

"This is explosive news! What the hell happened with Ren Alix?"

"Her clothes were tearing off but Wang Xia noticed it at the right moment. Imagine her walking on the runway and the clothes would suddenly…"

"Damn, isn't the Liu Corps sponsoring her? How are they taking this news?"

"I don't know about Liu Jin but I heard Ren Alix is trying her best to salvage the situation. But it is hopeless now. The show is already starting."

Ai's ears perked up as she listened to some of the reporters urgently whispering to each other.

"Is Alix going to be alright?" Ai knitted her brows, concerned.

"Pastry aunt will be fine, Mom," Ailun seriously nodded. "She can solve anything."

"Maybe I can help her."

Jun raised his brow. "You can help her with fixing the clothes?"

"I can be the model for her," her nose elongated in pride.

His brow twitched. "So you want to walk on the runway."

"It sounds fun."

Liu Hai waved his hand in dismissal. "I am sure it will be alright."

Jing nodded. "My protege is impossible to defeat. Though I am furious at the audacity of ruining the delicate clothes! They deserve the wrath of hell!"

On the other side, Ren Cuifen held her husband's hand in extreme worry.

"What is this I am hearing Luoyang? We should go help Alix! Maybe I will be able to help fix the clothes."

He agreed without a second thought. "Let's go-"

"Ren Alix's parents, am I right?"

They turned and were taken aback to see Jinhai staring at them.

"Mr. Liu."

"You need not worry. Jin says things will be okay. Please relax."

They looked at each other, stunned. "H-How can it be fine? An accident with the clothes at the last moment…"

"I would say we should trust our children, that's all."

As the same news fell on Yuze's ears too, an unnoticeable smile lifted his lips. He took out his phone and messaged Mui.

'The winds are blowing in our favor. Ensure you make the best out of it. I want no mistakes.'

Mui read the text, pressing down on her lips.

"Wow, are these the clothes I will be wearing?"

Wang Xia beamed as she held the dress before her.

Mui stared at the clothes and said, "Yes…"

"Hmm, not bad," she touched her chin. "Well, I know I would look good in anything but I feel…please don't mind, but Ren Alix's designs were more catchy."

Mui stiffened.

"But these are good enough too," she smiled. "As long as you and Mr. Kang help with my successful launch, you will be bathing in tons of fame and money~"

"Please get quickly changed. We don't have much time."

"Right away~" she laughed.

The stage was set. The lights shone on the runway. The emcee took the spotlight and welcomed the guests.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us in our biggest ever fashion show ever! We have new talents waiting to walk down this aisle and steal your hearts. Are you ready?"

"Yes!!!"

At the back where Kang Yuze was, Wang Yi took a seat besides him with a mask on his face.

"I heard you became the knight in shining armor for my sister?"

Yuze's eyes narrowed.

He chuckled. "Cannot take a joke now, can we?"

"I just want to focus on the show to end."

"And I want to focus on the models. You think you can introduce me to some of them?"

"What are you doing here!?"

Wang Tianhui rushed to their side, glaring at his son.

"Didn't I tell you to stay at home? Are you an idiot for coming to a venue full of reporters flashing their camera lights?"

"I am wearing a mask, Dad. Chill."

He gritted his teeth. "If anybody recognizes you-"

"Do these cameras have X-ray filters?" He rolled his eyes. "No, right? So calm down."

"Why did you even come here!"

"How long am I supposed to stare at Ningli's face?" He grimaced. "I would rather enjoy some young and fresh looks~"

Yuze took a deep, silent breath, his patience thinning. "Please stay quiet. I won't be responsible if you happen to accidentally make any scene."

"But-"

"Please welcome our first participant for today, Chen Ziya!" The emcee announced.

"It's starting so please be quiet," Yuze warned.

—

After the round of claps for the earlier participant, the last two remained. The reporters quickly hushed.

"It is Ren Mui and then Ren Alix's turn."

"I heard that Ren Alix's turn was supposed to be somewhere in the middle, but she changed it to last."

"Well that's obvious, she lost her clothes and her model both. She must be scrambling to control the situation," one sighed in pity.

Yuze could see the questions in everybody's eyes about how Alix was going to make it, which only fueled his sense of victory further. He closed his eyes, thinking that after Wang Xia's runway walk, the show was practically over.

"Please welcome, Wang Xia!"

He exhaled and opened his eyes to see the last chapter close. But a shock awaited him. He stared at Wang Xia at the end of the stage, unable to comprehend why the dress she wore was different.

These aren't the clothes I had decided upon. Why is it different then?

He slightly gritted his teeth and swiftly took out his phone.

'What the hell is happening? What is Wang Xia wearing? These are not the clothes I had prepared for her.'

One second passed by, then two but he didn't get any response from Mui. At the same time, the spotlight was already on Wang Xia, who was starting to walk down the runway.

Shit, shit! Should I pause the show for sometime? This is not planned at all!

It was then when he finally received a text from Mui.

'These are my clothes.'

Huh?

Yuze stared at his mobile screen, dumbfounded.

What is this idiot babbling?

'I made these clothes. I know this is not according to the plan. I am really sorry. But I really wanted Wang Xia to wear them. I want to know where I stand against my sister.'
