章節 39: THE DEVIL WEARS CHANEL

[Yang Menghuo POV]

[Song Suggestion: Everybody Loves an Outlaw - I See Red]

Madam Evelynn Yang was currently attending the Paris Fashion Week as a VIP guest. As the editor-in-chief of VAGUE Magazine, a world-famous and prestigious fashion magazine. Madam Evelynn Yang stared at the runway, with a song blasting to give this whole fashion show a villainous feeling. The models were all dressed in either black, white, red, or brown.

Madam Evelynn Yang rolled her eyes, "They said this new fashion designer is potential, yet from what I see in his designs, all of them should be better put in the museum. Bland, old, uninteresting."

Madam Evelynn Yang wrote something on her note and then glanced at the woman with silver hair sitting beside her. She wore Prada black sunglasses, in contrast to Madam Evelynn Yang, who wore white Chanel sunglasses.

"What do you think, Miranda?" Madam Evelynn Yang asked. She was currently sitting side by side with Miranda Priest, the chief-in-editor of another famous fashion magazine. She was technically Madam Evelynn Yang's competitor.

But they turned to be a good associate since they had similar personalities. The only difference was their taste, especially because Miranda Priest preferred Prada, while Madam Evelynn Yang preferred Chanel.

Miranda Priest hummed for a moment and then wrote something on her note, "I have to say the black in his collection is not pure black. It has been slightly mixed with white. That what causes the color to be bland. Any addition, Evelynn?"

Madam Evelynn Yang wrote something on her note and then added, "He tried to add more red to wake this villainous sense, but the placement of this red is obnoxiously glaring. It's simply tacky."

"Agreed," Miranda nodded.

After the show ended, Miranda Priest and Evelynn Yang were escorted to the VIP section for lunch. Miranda and Evelynn were seated together, and they started talking about their activity. As a good associate for almost twenty years, they were both rivals at work and close friends outside of work. Even as close as visiting each other mansions with their sons.

Miranda cut the foie gras that she got slowly while asking Evelynn, "Evelynn, how is my cute Robin? It's been a while since the last time I saw him. I've offered him a spot as my top model, but he refused."

"Robin is fine, but…" Evelynn Yang sipped her champagne and continued, "There has been a report from Li Daiyu that Robin has an ugly girlfriend. I suppose this is one of his tricks to avoid engagement yet again.."

"Hm? You should ask him. Maybe his girlfriend just looks unconventional, so she would be called ugly in your country," Miranda tried to be positive. Miranda only had one difficult and troublemaker son. Thus, she treated Menghuo/Robin Yang like her own child. Because Robin was an obedient and nice boy, in contrast to her own son.

"I haven't checked, but Li Daiyu is a supermodel who knows how to act and dress in front of us. I'm sure she wouldn't misjudge based on her fashion sense," Madam Evelynn Yang said. "And she said this fake girlfriend doesn't even deserve to be a maid in my mansion."

"My, such bold statement," Miranda frowned. "This makes me curious. Mind showing me the picture of that woman?"

"I've ordered my subordinates to pick some pictures of Robin and his new fake girlfriend on a date. Let's check her together," Madam Evelynn Yang opened her phone, and they checked the picture together.

It was the picture of Robin and his obviously striking appearance as a total heartthrob, sitting side by side with a regular woman probably in her late twenty. She was bare-faced, with no makeup, not even a foundation.

She wore a simple loose buttoned shirt and a slim skirt up to her knee. She wore a big belt to cover her fat waist. Madam Yang zoomed the picture and noticed the bulging fat from her waist, and shivered.

"I can't even look at it. What an abomination," Madam Evelynn Yang turned off the phone screen and put the phone down.

"Absolutely no sense of fashion, or worse should I say, no consideration. Even if it's a fake date, she should be honored to have a fake date with my son, but look at that. She is not even wearing makeup," Madam Evelynn Yang complained. "Did she really think she looks appealing without one? How confidently foolish."

"I cannot give any justification here, Evelynn. A body shape that I will cross out of my list immediately, a horrible fashion sense, a confident fool with her appearance. She fits better as a secretary of an old man with no sense of aestheticism," Miranda added her honest opinion.

"Now that you mention it, my husband has a secretary around that age," Madam Yang said.

"Really? Aren't you the one who said that you don't like your husband to be close to any other woman?" Miranda asked after she sipped her wine.

"I allowed one woman to be around him as his only secretary. Because she is a good secretary, and her appearance is… mediocre, to say the least. She has no fashion sense, and she applies thick makeup. Oh lord, she makes me unable to stare at her for more than ten minutes," Madam Yang said.

"But because of that, my husband never thinks about romancing his secretary. At least she did her job well to be the gatekeeper," Madam Yang added.

"Still, you should ask Robin about this fake girlfriend problem. I can't believe you would let him pick a random girl from the street to stage a fake date like this," Miranda suggested as she was concerned.

"You're right. I will call him later," Madam Evelynn Yang agreed. "Speaking of which, how is Alex? I heard he is venturing to China to start a new business."

Miranda sighed as she lost her mood whenever someone mentioned her son, "Alexander Priest is playing around again. He just breaks an A-list celebrity's heart, makes her cry blood, and then leaves without a worry. He is a top playboy who keeps saying that he will someday find his beloved and settle down. You know the drill, Evelynn."

"He is still in his wild adventure, huh?"

"He keeps saying that he might find someone he truly loves in India, United States, our hometown in France, Japan, and more! My son is a heartbreaker!" Miranda massaged her brows as she was so tired with her son's antics. "This time, he said he might find the girl that he will marry with in China. Can you believe that? He will travel the world only to break women's hearts everywhere!"

Madam Evelynn Yang chuckled at her friend's woe, "Let's just hope Alex wouldn't find a horrible girl like what happened to my son. What an abomination of a lady."
