Sober and beautiful, my husband and son begged for my forgiveness on their knees.

Ning Yao thought he was seriously ill and rolled her eyes at his back.

Seeing that Lu Jingmo had left, Xiaoxiao ran over and pulled her to examine the body carefully.

"Sister Yaoyao, are you alright?"

Although she was an ordinary person, she had heard about the Ning family finding their biological daughter and marrying her off to the head of the Lu family.

Everyone envied that the real heiress's good fortune.

Not only did she achieve a leap in social class overnight, but she also became a wealthy socialite in a top-tier family.

Even she felt envious.

But she never expected that the real daughter of the Ning family was actually Sister Yaoyao, and judging from what just happened, Sister Yaoyao was not happy.

Ning Yao shook her head. "It's nothing."

Xiao Xiao was still worried. "Why don't you go home first tonight? I'll try to contact actress Jiang Tian first."

Ning Yao knew she was genuinely worried about her, so she gently squeezed her hand and reassured her, "I'm really fine."

From the moment she broke free from the Ning family and divorced Lu Jingmo, she stopped caring about them.

Xiao Xiao felt even more heartbroken after hearing this, which meant that she must have been deeply hurt when they were in a relationship.

Ning Yao couldn't stand her gaze and turned around to have a drink, but then noticed a corner of her skirt peeking out from around the corner.

She recognized at a glance the dress that actress Jiang Tian wore in her previous life. After finding an excuse to send Xiao Xiao away, she walked straight to the corner.

"Ms. Jiang, I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

Jiang Tian had actually arrived long ago, but because she saw some acquaintances, she didn't want to socialize for the time being and hid here. However, she didn't expect to overhear something here.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, she decided not to go out and planned to wait until Ning Yao and the others left before coming out.

But then he was caught red-handed.

Just as I was feeling awkward, I heard the other person greet me warmly.

She looked up and saw Ning Yao calmly handing her a glass of sparkling water. She couldn't help but smile and say, "How could that be? Miss Ning, you've surprised me."

Because when Xingyi Group recommended Ning Yao to her, she had someone investigate Ning Yao.

Judging from the results, Ning Yao's reputation isn't very good.

But judging from what just happened, her investigation was not very well prepared.

Ning Yao lightly clinked glasses with her, and said meaningfully, "Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Jiang. Actually, I just figured it out. In life, it's inevitable to take a detour, but as long as you are clear about your goals and know what kind of person you want to become, there will always be a day when you can get back on track."

Jiang Tian has a striking appearance and is considered a beauty with strong bone structure.

Upon hearing her words, a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

He said in a slightly somber tone, "But even if we reach the day when things are set right, times will have changed, and many people and things will no longer be the same as they were at the beginning."

"So what? The passage of time only means that the past cannot be changed, not that the future cannot be changed. The key is how you think about it."

Ning Yao said this because she knew that Jiang Tian had been sidelined for years, which not only severely damaged her career but also put her family on the verge of collapse.

Jiang Tian's husband is now a highly sought-after film emperor, and the two of them have gone through the transformation from unknown to top star together.

However, when Jiang Tian offended the capital and was sidelined, her husband, out of concern for her, persuaded her to give up her acting career and return to the family.

After struggling a few times, Jiang Tian agreed. At first, their relationship was very good. However, after being immersed in the world of fame and fortune for a long time, her husband quickly lost his way and became ambiguous with many women. Even when he was discovered, he did not think there was a problem. Instead, he felt that Jiang Tian was too idealistic and began to deny her value.

Even though Jiang Tian has now been nominated for the prestigious Golden Harvest Award, the Best Actor still wants to overshadow her. However, because Jiang Tian's new movie is performing so well, the Best Actor can't manipulate the numbers and can only keep persuading Jiang Tian to give up on her own.

Fortunately, Jiang Tian's son strongly supports her decision, which has given her the courage to persevere until now.

Thinking of this, Ning Yao couldn't help but sigh. Her story was similar to Jiang Tian's, yet they were also very different.

She had no emotional foundation with Lu Jingmo, and her son, who was also known as "barbecue pork," never paid any attention to her.

But it doesn't matter now; she can live a good life on her own.

Seeing that Jiang Tian was beginning to waver, she stopped trying to persuade her and instead took out the dress design she had made specifically for her.

"Ms. Jiang, I know you came here tonight to see a designer, so I'd like to offer my services. If you like my designs, please feel free to contact me."

Jiang Tian was still deep in thought when she was suddenly handed a design draft. After seeing the design, her eyes widened slightly.

This dress is undoubtedly a masterpiece of ingenuity.

The light and breathable powder blue color, combined with the smooth lines and the layered design of the skirt like flower petals, all made her very interested.

In particular, the upper part of the dress uses embroidery elements, which fully present a flower from bud to full bloom.

Like her rebirth.

“I really like your design, but I haven’t decided whether I will attend the awards ceremony yet, so I can’t give you an answer at the moment.”

Ning Yao was not disappointed and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Having achieved her goal, Ning Yao lost interest in attending the banquet. After telling the people from Xingyi Group, she left with Xiao Xiao.

On the way back, Xiaoxiao said, "Sister Yaoyao, I just walked around the venue but didn't see Jiang Tian. I guess she probably didn't come tonight. But it's okay if she didn't come. I've already got her agent's phone number, and I'll contact her again tomorrow."

"No need, I've already met with Jiang Tian and given her the design drafts. She'll contact us in the next couple of days."

Xiao Xiao was shocked when she heard this. "Sister Yao Yao, you're amazing! I thought you were just here tonight to meet Jiang Tian, ​​but you even gave me the design draft. I really admire you!"

"It's nothing, I'm just afraid that things might get complicated if I wait too long."

Xiao Xiao wanted to ask more questions, but she was afraid of touching on her painful memories, so she didn't ask any further and just praised her instead.

Ning Yao saw through her thoughts and smiled faintly.

Hearing Xiaoxiao's praise, he couldn't help but recall the difficult situation he had faced in the Lu family.

When she secured her first order, she actually wanted to share it with Lu Jingmo. This was the first time she had earned money on her own since coming to Whale City, and she even bought gifts for both father and son.

Instead of praising her, Lu Jingmo said she was neglecting her duties and hadn't even taken good care of her family, and shouldn't have focused her attention on other things.

She even said that if outsiders knew about the little money she earned, it would make him a laughingstock.

At that moment, Lu Jingmo's words chilled her to the bone.

From then on, she never mentioned making money again.

Looking back now, besides feeling sorry for myself, I'm even more glad I escaped.

The next day, news spread like wildfire that Jiang Tian was looking at award ceremony dresses, and almost every design company in Whale City sent her collaboration invitations, but Jiang Tian herself never commented on the matter.

Just when everyone thought there would be no more developments, the afternoon saw another round of heated discussion.

No one knows who released the photos of Ning Yan meeting with Jiang Tian in private, and everyone is speculating whether she has already secured the award ceremony design from Jiang Tian.

As we all know, this awards ceremony is very important for Jiang Tian. If she wins the award, both she and the designer will have a moment of glory.

Just as Ning Yan's name became a trending topic, Jiang Tian, ​​who had been silent until now, finally made a statement on Weibo.
