Capítulo 62: Where is the Dress From?
Xu Wei slowly walked back to his group of friends, who stood there curiously.
He had a blank expression as Yu Hao dragged him over, asking, "What did she say?! We couldn't hear! You asked her to go out with you, didn't you? I heard that. And then what did she say?!"
Xu Wei seemed to still be in shock as he stared ahead in a daze, before slowly replying, "She said. . . no."
Yu Hao sighed and rolled his eyes, "Of course she said no, I know that! But what did she say after?"
Xu Wei furrowed his eyebrows together, looking slightly confused, "She said. . . No, because you seem to have more competence and skill before you were born than you do now."
He frowned, "What does that mean?"
The other people in the group also furrowed their eyebrows together, "Well, what did you say before that?"
Xu Wei thought back and slowly said, "I just introduced myself. . . I am Xu Wei, the son of the owner of the XX Company. That's what I always say."
The people fell into silence as they tried to decipher Xu Anyi's words.
Finally, a voice spoke calmly and everyone turned to look at the person standing next to Xia Yiwei.
Lu Yuzhe had his eyebrows tightly knit together as he slowly explained, "She means. . . that your greatest achievement in life was picking the right family to be born into."
". . ."
A few seconds later, a burst of laughter exploded on the side of the pool and everyone turned around to see the group of people standing with Xia Yiwei bending over in laughter.

Xu Anyi's lips curled up slightly into a smile before she walked away, leaving Xu Wei standing in the cold corner of the balcony in confusion.
She then walked over to the food tables and grabbed a slice of chocolate cake, walking over to an empty table and taking a bite.
The cake indeed tasted very good, and she had finished about half when her phone suddenly rang. She opened her bag and pulled out her phone, looking at the name on the screen.
'Shen Lili'
She picked up the call and walked to the edge of the balcony where there were fewer people, "Hello?"
"Anyi," Shen Lili replied, "Do you have time right now?"
Before she could reply, Shen Lili added, "It's so loud over there. What are you doing?"
Xu Anyi looked around and walked further away from the other groups of people, covering up the phone, "I'm at Xia Yiwei's birthday party."
There was a pause and Xu Anyi heard a gasp from the other end before Shen Lili asked, "What?! What are you doing there?"
Xu Anyi shrugged, "I was bored so I thought I should come to mess things up a little for her."
Shen Lili could obviously hear the sarcasm in her voice and she chuckled softly, letting out a breath of relief to hear that Xu Anyi was fine. After everything that happened, Shen Lili couldn't help but feel a little worried for her. However, it seemed like she was back to the old Xu Anyi now.
"Well, have fun doing that," she joked, "She sent an invitation to our house too a while ago, but of course I rejected her. I didn't know you were going."
She paused and then added with a worried tone, "Are you okay? Should I go over?"
Xu Anyi heard the sound of her getting up from her chair, and she smiled, "It's okay, don't worry about me. I will be fine. What were you going to ask me?"
Shen Lili paused and sat back down, "Nothing, it's okay then. Well, have fun at the party. Call me if anything happens."
Xu Anyi smiled and hung up the call. She had not expected to get close to Shen Lili again, but she was glad to have her as a friend now. At least she wasn't completely alone. . .

To the other side of the balcony, Yi Tingting walked over to Xia Yiwei, and upon her arrival, the other girls that were talking to Xia Yiwei slowly stepped aside to get some food.
"Why is she here?" Yi Tingting glanced over at Xu Anyi with a deep frown.
Xia Yiwei also did not hide her frustration as she looked over at the undeniably beautiful sight at her birthday party which wasn't her, "I saw her the other day so I invited her. I didn't think. . ."
Her voice died off as she narrowed her eyes.
Yi Tingting could obviously sense Xia Yiwei's anger, and she looked over at Xu Anyi, tilting her head slightly, "Didn't she just come out of jail? How could she possibly have money for a dress like that?"
"How would I know?"
Yi Tingting knit her eyebrows together, "That does look like something she would wear before. . . Did she somehow get her clothes from before back?"
Yi Tingting frowned, "That can't be, didn't you take all of her old cl-"
Her lips immediately shut when she turned around and noticed Xia Yiwei's dark expression. How could she forget that Xia Yiwei despised anyone talking about the past Xu Anyi.
"I just didn't want to see those clothes go to waste," Xia Yiwei explained sourly, "But I threw most of them away already."
She lifted her chin up slightly, not even feeling slightly ashamed from lying. She had indeed taken all of the clothes she liked from Xu Anyi's old closet after the incident, and most of them were still hanging inside her own closet.
After all, they were all pieces from luxury brands that were expensive and hard to come by.
Yi Tingting nodded and did not say anything, and after looking over at Xu Anyi for a few seconds, she frowned and pulled out her phone, taking a picture of Xu Anyi silently.
Xia Yiwei glanced over at her, "What are you doing?"
"Who knows where she got that dress from? I'm going to search it up."
Xia Yiwei also leaned over to look at Yi Tingting's phone. When she inserted the picture of the dress into the search engine, nothing came up. There were some other dresses that looked similar that showed up, but none of them looked close to what Xu Anyi was wearing.
Yi Tingting scrolled through the page and scoffed, "See! She probably bought that dress for cheap somewhere off of the streets, it just looks nice. It can't even compare to your dress, Yiwei."
Xia Yiwei's expression lightened slightly from her words, but she was not as easy to trick as Yi Tingting, and she wouldn't believe that the proud Xu Anyi would wear cheap clothes from a street stall.
"Ask in the group chat and see if anyone recognizes it. Who knows. . . maybe it's some limited edition."
Yi Tingting sighed, "Do you think that prisoner would have money to buy a limited edition?"
But, she still followed Xia Yiwei's orders and sent the image into the large group chat and asked everyone to see if they recognized the dress.
There were hundreds of girls in the chat, all of which were part of the upper class, and many of them began replying right away.
'No. . . It looks like a luxury brand dress, but I know most of the items from the newest luxury brand collections, and none of them look like that.'
'I'm not sure either, but it looks so pretty. Who is that?'
Xia Yiwei was also looking in the chat, and she frowned at the comment.
'I don't know, but can whoever send it ask where the dress is from? I want to buy one!'
'I don't think any top-tier luxury brand released any dresses like that recently. Is it not from a luxury brand?'
'I don't care if it's not from a luxury brand. It's so pretty, I want one in my closet!'
Yi Tingting could sense Xia Yiwei's anger, because the others had not complimented her this much when she sent a picture of her birthday picture in the chat a while ago.
So, she quickly sent: 'It's probably a dress from a street stall. Do you guys want to wear that?'
The chat turned silent for a while, but then, a person with the name 'Shanel' appeared in the chat, and at once, everyone began speaking again.
'Shanel is here! Shanel, take a look at the picture. Do you recognize it?'
'If Shanel doesn't even recognize it, then it's probably not some well-known dress.'
Shanel was the daughter of a famous fashion brand company, and she was currently studying fashion in Country Y. She was known in the upper-class circle for being a fashion icon, and she was always the most updated on all the fashion trends.
'Shanel: What's happening? I'm at work right now and it's so busy because the new collection is getting released today. Why is everyone spamming the chat?'
Shanel scrolled up and saw the picture and everyone waited as she typed into the chat box.
Xia Yiwei also stared intently at the chat box in anticipation, because it was true. If the dress were from a luxury brand, then Shanel would undoubtedly know.
If not, then it was probably some street stall dress.
'I don't think it's from any luxury brand, at least not any of the new collections.'
