"Yes," Tang Yue replied casually as she earnestly flipped through the contract, her heart bursting with joy. Star Bright was doing well domestically, and the privately customized clothes, with growing word-of-mouth, were gaining more and more popularity. The clothes from Xingyao Clothing Store were extremely popular. Although Star Bright’s pricing was very high, it could not deter everyone’s determination to pursue beauty. "Sister Xiao Yue, then, is what you said to Lian Qingqing also true?" Lian Qingyang’s voice couldn’t help but rise in pitch. Tang Yue looked up, blinked her eyes, and asked in return, "Qingyang, when have I ever lied?" Without even thinking, Lian Qingyang answered; he considered that it was Lian Qingqing’s attitude, as well as Tang Yue’s less than enthusiastic mood, that had shaped his opinion, leading him to mistakenly believe that Tang Yue was upset about not being able to partner with Kaya Jewelry. Upon further reflection, from the time he met Tang Yue, he never heard her tell lies or boast. Even that one million used for stock investment really did double in return. Now, there was still a good amount of money left, and it was used to open Red Bean Restaurant. The Red Bean Restaurant, entirely staffed by hired workers, located on the bustling Jinyang Street, naturally did a roaring trade. Moreover, with the chef Lian Qingyang recruited from elsewhere, the food was very delicious, and the environment was great. Although the prices were a bit high, Jing City was never short of wealthy people. "Then why would you think that I would tell such a lie?" Tang Yue asked again. Lian Qingyang’s face turned red, and he stammered for a long time, unable to speak. He said, "Sister Xiao Yue, I, I was just misled." "Alright, you were misled." Tang Yue smiled lightly, not minding it; after all, Lian Qingyang was busy helping her out yesterday, and his intentions were good. She said, "You should go and rest for a bit, I’ll tell Sister An Yu the good news." When Qin Anyu heard about the cooperation with Kaya Jewelry, she confirmed it three times, asking, "Xiao Yue, you’re not joking with me, are you?" Kaya Jewelry! If their advertisement models could wear their Star Bright’s clothes, it would be like a live advertisement! "Of course, it’s true. Why would I lie to you?" Tang Yue felt her joy and grinned, saying, "Sister An Yu, but for this partnership, we may have to offer clothes at a loss." "It’s okay, it’s okay. There are many people who can’t even get this opportunity if they beg for it," Qin Anyu, who was not entirely clueless, said happily, "Xiao Yue, do you need me to find a few people to help out? I can’t help much with clothing design, but there are a lot of tailors here. Also, there is a young girl who is Master Jin’s granddaughter, and her skills are not bad. Do you want her to come help?" "Will there be enough hands at your factory?" Tang Yue inquired in return. Qin Anyu gently touched her belly, feeling the movement of the child inside, feeling his life. Her face softened as she said, "Xiao Yue, don’t worry, I can still hire more people here. Master Jin’s granddaughter, I’ve met her a few times, and she’s quite a nice girl. Being around you, she can learn a lot." "Then okay." Tang Yue was too lazy to refuse. Kaya Jewelry had an advertisement scheduled for New Year’s Day, and by then, she would need to have that series of clothes ready. If she had a helper, it would greatly reduce her burden. Qin Anyu hung up the phone and prepared to arrange for the girl to go abroad. The door was knocked on. Wu Xin opened the door and saw Lian Qingqing standing at the entrance. Lian Qingqing’s expression was rather displeased as Wu Xin stopped her, and she coldly said, "I’m Tang Yue’s sister, are you sure you want to stop me?"

Tang Yue was only dressed in a simple set of houseclothes, her silky black hair casually tied up in a high ponytail, with messy strands of hair lazily draped over her forehead. The sunlight from the window spilled onto one side of her, seemingly coating her in a layer of glow, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Even as a woman herself, Lian Qingqing couldn’t help but feel her heart skip a beat at this sight. This scene, this woman, she was truly beautiful. "You may speak." Tang Yue lifted her head, her bright eyes shining like stars. She put down the scissors in her hand, walked over to sit on the sofa, and said, "Wu Xin, please trouble you to make a cup of coffee." Wu Xin stepped aside to let Lian Qingqing into the room and then went to the kitchen to make coffee. Concerned that Lian Qingqing might harm Tang Yue, Wu Xin ground the coffee in the kitchen but kept peeking out from time to time. Tang Yue and Lian Qingqing sat opposite each other, with Lian Qingqing scrutinizing her face, having much to say, yet at this moment, not knowing where to start. Lian Qingqing had always thought of herself as the best, the most outstanding among the girls of the Lian Family’s generation. As a jewelry designer and having been admitted to a prestigious university in Country Y, it was her pride. Yet now, compared to Tang Yue, she felt... Tang Yue had been raised in a village and had carved out a path for herself with her own two hands; in this regard, Lian Qingqing had to admit her respect. "It’s better to speak directly." Tang Yue disliked beating around the bush. "You deliberately deceived me, didn’t you?" Lian Qingqing stared at Tang Yue and asked. "What did I deceive you about?" Tang Yue appeared genuinely innocent. "The cooperation with Kay Company," Lian Qingqing reminded. "No." As soon as Tang Yue finished speaking, Lian Qingqing couldn’t help but stand up; she just knew that the news she had just heard was false. Lian Qingqing looked down at her and challenged, "Then why did you refuse Mr. Nigel’s initial interest in a partnership? Also, you boasted in front of Mr. Nigel that you had a partnership with Kay Company, and now you say there’s no partnership. Do you realize how serious this matter is?" "Lian Qingqing, you’ve already found out that I truly do have a partnership with Kay Company." Tang Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "The person who dined with me that day is the heiress of Kay." Lian Qingqing looked at Tang Yue in disbelief. She nodded with certainty, "What’s impossible about that? Just because you know Mr. Nigel, does that mean I can’t know the heiress of Kay?" Throughout the conversation, Tang Yue’s expression remained calm, her eyes serene without a ripple, as if what she was discussing was a very ordinary matter. "Tang Yue, you did it on purpose. You wanted to make me look like a fool, didn’t you?" Lian Qingqing looked at Tang Yue’s composed face, the words of Xiang Yazhi echoing in her ears as she had mentioned Tang Yue time and again in front of her.
