Chapter 95: Chapter 95: The Wait Is Over Chapter 95 -95: The Wait Is Over Dressing room.
Lin Zhiyi was wiping a red wine stain off the hem of her dress with a towel.
Shen Yan took out a bag from her purse and handed it to her, âZhiyi, it just so happens that I brought an extra set of clothes, and our figures are quite similar. You should go change into these for now as an emergency.â
Lin Zhiyi glanced at the logo on the bag and half-jokingly said, âShen Yan, did you strike it rich? Thereâs nothing in this store under five figures.â
Shen Yanâs eyes paused slightly, and she explained, âI got my paycheck, and I wanted to treat myself, after all, itâs my first formal job in life.â
âIs that right, then how can I feel good about wearing your new clothes? Iâll just make do with what I have, after all, Iâm not the protagonist.â
Lin Zhiyi deliberately pushed the bag back toward her.
Shen Yanâs eyes clearly panicked for a moment, and she quickly stuffed the bag into Lin Zhiyiâs arms.
âZhiyi, weâre close girlfriends, how can we still count these things? If you keep this up, Iâm going to get angry.â
âThen... okay, thank you,â Lin Zhiyi said, clearly moved.
âAll right, donât waste any more time, go change your clothes.â
âOkay.â
Lin Zhiyi stood up and walked toward the restroom.
Behind her, Shen Yanâs lips curled up, revealing an extremely sinister smile.
Lin Zhiyi, today you will fall from grace!
In the restroom.
Lin Zhiyi took a dress out of the bag.
It was a black silk cheongsam with discreet patterns.
This was definitely not Shen Yanâs style.
But it was also unlikely that Shen Yan would buy a cheongsam for no reason.
Especially one that just so happened to be on hand the moment her clothes got dirty.
Lin Zhiyi had felt something was odd earlier, which is why she followed Shen Yan to the dressing room.
After thinking for three seconds, Lin Zhiyi immediately took out her phone and snapped a photo of the cheongsam, then sent it to Liu He.
âMom, please ask the sales associate right away if anyone else has bought this cheongsam recently?â
Liu He was well-versed in these matters, and in less than two minutes, she responded.
âLooks like youâve stumbled on some juicy gossip! Only two of these cheongsams were sold this month, both by President Xueâs husband, but... the sizes are completely different, it looks like heâs got someone on the side.â
Speaking of size, Lin Zhiyi checked the label and was taken aback.
The size wasnât Shen Yanâs either.
The reason Shen Yan could navigate the path of the white lotus so effortlessly wasnât just her delicate and attractive face but also her petite and svelte figure.
It always gave off the impression of fragility, naturally drawing sympathy and affection from men.
But the cheongsam Shen Yan gave her was a medium size, which meant it was for someone who had to be at least 1.65 meters tall to fit into it.
Shen Yan was only 1.58 meters tall, and even if she wore high heels, the waistline still wouldnât line up.
So why was President Xueâs husbandâs cheongsam in Shen Yanâs possession?
Lin Zhiyi furrowed her brows and quickly replied to the message.
âMom, can you ask discreetly about President Xue and her husbandâs situation? Quickly.â
Liu He loved to gossip with former colleagues, so asking about this matter was not difficult at all.
âPresident Xue and her husband are getting a divorce. Heâs got a college girl on the side, hidden very well, nobody knows who she is, itâs said they met at a jewelry show.â
A college girl?
A jewelry show?
Only then did Lin Zhiyi remember that President Xueâs husband was a jeweler, and they too had met at a jewelry show abroad.
For some reason, Lin Zhiyi was particularly sensitive to the words âjewelry show,â always feeling like she had seen something relevant somewhere.
Suddenly, an image flashed through her mind.
She looked down again at the cheongsam in her hands and couldnât help but sneer, everything clicked into place.
At that moment, the restroom door was knocked by Shen Yan.
âZhiyi, havenât you finished changing yet?â
âAlmost done.â
Lin Zhiyi quickly changed into the cheongsam and then walked out of the restroom.
Shen Yan couldnât wait to look up and gloat.
Such an old-fashioned cheongsam on someone their age would add at least ten years.
But the next second, she was stunned on the spot.
Lin Zhiyi, with her hair loose, looked fluffy and smooth, making her bright and vivid face appear charming yet slightly hazy.
The sleeveless cheongsam clung to her body, outlining her perfect curves, as if tailor-made for her. Her arms, hanging at her sides, were as creamy and tender as lotus roots.
Even though only her arms were exposed, she seemed to be seducing onlookers everywhere.
Upon sensing Shen Yanâs gaze, Lin Zhiyi deliberately adjusted her cheongsam in front of her.
âShen Yan, this dress is a bit tight on me.â
In her past life, after Lin Zhiyi had been shunned by everyone, Shen Yan couldnât be bothered to pretend anymore, stepping on her fallen body and humiliating her to the extreme.
âHow can you blame me? Why should you be better than me in every way? We agreed to be friends, so why should you be able to soar and marry the Third Young Master?â
âIâll tell you, all your traps were designed by Song Wanqiu and me together. Now the Third Young Master is disgusted when he sees you, you might as well be dead!â
Shen Yan loved to be jealous, so let her live in jealousy every day.
Seeing this, Shen Yan clenched her teeth and twisted her skirt, barely able to conceal the jealousy in her eyes.
Pretending not to notice her expression, Lin Zhiyi said with a smile, âLetâs go. Donât keep everyone waiting.â
Perhaps thinking of her plans later on, Shen Yanâs expression immediately went back to normal.
âRight, letâs go.â
Both of them entered the banquet hall together.
Lin Zhiyiâs arrival instantly attracted everyoneâs attention.
Even those who were originally flattering Song Wanqiu couldnât help but stare at Lin Zhiyi.
Song Wanqiu was so angry her molars gritted audibly, yet she dared not show it.
At that moment, Chen Huan let out an exclamation.
âAh! Why is there a dress clash?â
Hearing the noise, Xue Man, who was clinging to her husband, turned around to face Lin Zhiyi head-on.
Only then did everyone realize, with astonishment, that Lin Zhiyi was wearing a dress identical to Xue Manâs.
At a social gathering, wearing the same attire is extremely awkward.
Especially since thereâs a popular saying: a dress clash isnât scary; itâs embarrassing only if youâre less attractive.
Xue Man still exuded charm; the cheongsam made her appear dignified and elegant.
Lin Zhiyi was young and beautiful, her figure almost lethal to men.
It was hard to tell who outshone whom.
Song Wanqiu walked over with her dress and looked at Lin Zhiyi suspiciously, âZhiyi, I remember you werenât wearing this dress just now. How come you changed into another one when President Xue arrived?â
Lin Zhiyi replied truthfully, âI got splashed with wine by a waiter earlier, so I went to change into a new dress.â
Before anyone else could speak, Chen Huan approached with a smile.
âZhiyi, you really did have foresight, to have prepared an extra set of clothes in advance.â
Her words had an underlying meaning, and everyone understood.
Lin Zhiyi was deliberately clashing dresses with Xue Man; it was clearly a provocation!
But why would Lin Zhiyi want to provoke Xue Man?
Others might not understand, but Xue Man, who was secretly divorcing her husband, couldnât help but overthink.
She had always been unaware of the woman her husband was seeing. Without catching the mistress, even in a divorce, sheâd have to split her wealth with himâwhy should she share the jewelry empire she built with such a scoundrel?
Now a young and beautiful woman was wearing the same dress as her, openly challenging her.
Could it be that Lin Zhiyi was her husbandâs mistress?
Xue Manâs gaze towards Lin Zhiyi shifted.
Lin Zhiyi looked down and said nothing, seemingly at a loss for words.
She was still waiting...
Chen Huan, noticing her silence, curved her lips and said, âBut... it really makes one curious, how did Zhiyi know President Xue would wear this cheongsam too?â

Could it have been bought for her by someone else?â
Just as everyone was speculating, an unexpected person stood out.
Xue Manâs husband.
He spoke magnanimously, âAlright, alright, itâs just a dress after all, no need to embarrass the young lady. Today is primarily Miss Songâs birthday party, other matters arenât important.â
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked up.
She had got what she was waiting for.
