Chapter 938: Jealousy That’s Crazily Spreading (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Grandma Wen was young, she was a famous designer in the fashion industry.

Chen Lu’s teacher and Grandma Wen were somewhat connected.

And thus, Chen Lu used this reason to come by and visit Grandma Wen.

Grandma Wen was quite surprised by Chen Lu’s visit.

After all, Chen Lu had many accomplishments under her name. In addition, she was the Vice President and Chief Designer of Sofia.

She managed to reach heights that even Grandma Wen was unable to achieve.

And thus, Grandma Wen did not understand why Chen Lu was visiting her.

Was it really because she was friends with Chen Lu’s teacher?

When Chen Lu visited the Wen Residence, Wen Ruo was also present.

This was not a coincidence. Whenever Wen Ruo was free, she would come back to the Wen Residence.

Therefore, no matter who visited the Wen Residence, there was a high probability of meeting Wen Ruo.

The moment Wen Ruo saw Chen Lu, her mind was filled with doubts.

This was Chen Lu! The Chief Designer of Sofia!

This woman had been on the cover of fashion magazines numerous times. She was also said to be the most promising Asian designer in recent times.

However, when she thought about the interview that had just happened, conflicted feelings arose in Wen Ruo’s heart.

“Grandma Wen,” Chen Lu greeted with a smile on her face. She was very polite and courteous.

“Vice President Chen Lu, it’s amazing to see you. In the past, I’ve seen you on magazine covers but I never expected that you look even better in person,” Grandma Wen replied pleasantly.

“You’re too kind, Grandma Wen. My teacher often mentioned your name. In fact, my teacher said that you’re one of the designers that he admires the most.”

“No no. Your teacher is worthy of much more respect. Compared to your teacher, my achievements back then were essentially nothing.”

“Grandma Wen, this must be one of your paintings right?” Chen Lu said as her gaze fell onto a painting in the living room.

“Oh? How’d you realize?”

“I’ve seen some of your drawings and paintings. Therefore, I recognized your painting habits.”

Upon hearing these words, Grandma Wen was incredibly happy.

After all, everyone liked to be praised.

After chatting for a while, Grandma Wen introduced Wen Ruo to Chen Lu:

“Vice President Chen Lu, this is my granddaughter. She’s called Wen Ruo. She just so happens to also study design.”

“Hello, Vice President Chen Lu. I attended one of your fashion shows last year. The show was stunning. Even though it’s been a while since then, I still remember the show vividly.”

Wen Ruo slightly lowered her head and greeted Chen Lu very politely.

Wen Ruo behaved appropriately in the situation. She was not overly shy nor flamboyant. She acted like a young lady from a well-off family.

If it weren’t for the plagiarism case, Chen Lu might have had high regard for this young girl.

It’s a pity that…

Upon hearing this, Chen Lu politely replied: “It’s an honor to impress your granddaughter.”

“As a child, my granddaughter often followed me around when I was painting. In addition, she also learned about designing clothes,” Grandma Wen added.

Chen Lu easily understood Grandma Wen’s words. However, she pretended not to understand: “As Miss Wen Ruo was able to learn from you, she will definitely achieve many accomplishments in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Wen Ruo modestly replied: “I’m rather stupid. I’d be happy if I learned 30% of my grandma’s skills.”

Chen Lu: “Miss Wen Ruo, you’re being too modest.”

Then, Chen Lu explained the purpose of her visit to Grandma Wen: “Grandma Wen, I came to you today because I wanted you to help me with something.”
