Rebirth of the Fashion King

I'm quite satisfied with Chapter 64.

After they finished eating, Steve personally escorted them to the door. The rain hadn't stopped; in fact, it was getting heavier than before.

The doorman was waiting at the entrance with an umbrella, and a car was already parked at the bottom of the steps.

"I'll take you back," Li Xun said.

"No need, our place isn't far from here, it's just a short walk down the small road, it's not easy for a car to drive in." Liu Xiaoli had already opened her umbrella.

Li Xun glanced at Liu Yifei.

She quickly began to explain.

"Yes, it's right there, just turn in and you'll get there. You really don't need to take me!"

"Okay, call me if anything comes up~"

"Uh-huh!"

"Sissi, let's go."

  

Liu Yifei said "Oh," walked under Liu Xiaoli's umbrella, glanced back at Li Xun, and then made a playful face.

Li Xun smiled, shook his head, got into the car, and left.

Today's meeting with the parents should be considered a success. Rumor has it that Liu's mother has extremely high standards, but Li Xun thinks she's alright.

Liu Yifei followed Liu Xiaoli back to her residence. As soon as the door closed, she kicked off her high heels, stepped barefoot onto the carpet, and collapsed onto the sofa.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"

"Sit properly, put your shoes away, what kind of behavior is this?" Liu Xiaoli put away her umbrella, stood on the umbrella stand in the porch, changed into slippers and came in. Liu Yifei was naturally good at pretending not to hear. She turned over, lay on the sofa, rested her chin on her hands, and swung her legs back and forth.

"Mommy~"

"what?"

What do you think of him?

Liu Xiaoli ignored her, walked to the dressing table, sat down, and took off her earrings in front of the mirror.

"Mommy!"

"I heard you, you don't need to shout so loudly."

Liu Xiaoli put the earrings into the jewelry box and took off her watch from her wrist. Her movements were slow and deliberate, and she was not in a hurry at all.

She just loved seeing Sisi get anxious.

Liu Yifei got off the sofa, walked barefoot to the dressing table, sat down on the stool next to it, and looked at her mother expectantly.

"Tell me quickly!"

"What did you say?"

"Li Xun! What do you think of him?"

Liu Yifei was a little anxious, but Liu Xiaoli wasn't anxious at all.

The mother and daughter have completely different styles.

"Ugh! How annoying!"

Liu Xiaoli couldn't suppress her smile, so she quickly looked at her eyebrows in the mirror, pressed down on the corners of her eyebrows with her fingers, and then slowly turned her head to look at her daughter.

Her eyebrows were lowered and her lips were pursed.

I think—

Liu Xiaoli deliberately dragged out her words.

"Not very good."

Liu Yifei's expression froze, and the lonely smile on her lips vanished instantly.

"what?"

"Huh? What?"

Liu Xiaoli turned to the mirror and continued removing her makeup.

"All those things you said before, about being young and promising, about being a design genius—you made it sound so impressive, but after meeting you today, I didn't find anything particularly special about you."

Liu Yifei is getting anxious.

"What do you mean there's nothing special about him? Li Xun is amazing! He's such a young man and already a senior designer. Mr. Karl and the others think highly of him. His leather bags—"

"I'm not carrying the Himalayas on my back," Liu Xiaoli said casually.

"Mommy!"

Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter in the mirror, who looked so anxious she was about to jump up. Her lips twitched, but she forced a smile down her face.

"You're in the prime of your career right now, and so is he. You'll both be busy. To put it bluntly, you're both in the fashion industry. I don't need to tell you how complicated that industry is. You're filming today, and he's rushing to fashion shows tomorrow. You're flying domestically, and he's flying to New York. You can't even adjust to the time difference. How are you going to date?"

Liu Yifei bit her lower lip and remained silent.

"Besides, he's a women's clothing designer, surrounded by models, celebrities, and socialites who are always around him. I'm not saying he's bound to do anything, but there are too many temptations in this industry. He's young, and you're both on the rise. You need to think this through."

"He won't, Mommy."

"How do you know?"

"I know it!" Liu Yifei replied decisively.

Liu Xiaoli sighed. This is what happens when you're too young. You haven't experienced the harsh realities of life, and you won't learn until you hit a wall.

He was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Fine, if you say no, then no."

"But you just said he wasn't very good—"

Liu Xiaoli stood up, walked to the sofa, sat down, and patted the seat next to her.

"come over."

Liu Yifei obediently walked over and sat down next to her mother.

Liu Xiaoli instinctively tucked a strand of hair behind her daughter's ear.

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha—I was just kidding when I said he wasn't anything special, hahaha—"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei's eyes lit up immediately.

"real?"

"certainly."

Liu Xiaoli's tone softened.

"Your partner is better than I expected."

Liu Yifei grabbed Liu Xiaoli's arm and shook it.

"What's so good about it, Mommy? Tell me in more detail!"

Liu Xiaoli patted her arm lightly, but not forcefully.

"Are you pushing your luck?"

"I want to know, tell me!"

Liu Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "First, he is very polite. He took the initiative to shake hands when he came in, and he didn't try to get close to us when he spoke. Most young people are very casual when they meet their elders. You are sometimes like that, Qianqian. Li Xun has a very good sense of propriety."

"Mommy! Why are you talking about me instead of him?"

Liu Xiaoli rolled her eyes and continued, "Secondly, when he ordered the food, he asked about our preferences first. When he ordered wine, he chose one that he knew about. I noticed later that the price of that wine was neither expensive nor cheap, just in a reasonable range, and the taste was also okay."

Spending money wisely and spending it correctly are two different things. He's very good at spending money wisely, and the gifts he gives us are always exactly what we wanted.

Liu Yifei tried to interrupt, but was stopped by her mother raising her hand.

"Thirdly, when I asked him about his work, Li Xun neither exaggerated nor deliberately downplayed it. When I asked him about his position, he explained it very clearly. When I asked him about Himalaya, he could explain the details of his salary. He is very thorough in his work."

"And finally, his attitude towards you is very good, I think."

Liu Xiaoli joked.

"During dinner today, you two were sneaking around under the table. Did you think I didn't see it?"

Liu Yifei's face flushed red.

"I don't!"

"You're not saying anything? Sisi, Mom is a professional dancer and is particularly sensitive to body movements. I know very well what you two are doing under the table."

"Ah~ Mommy, please stop talking~"

"What? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Liu Xiaoli held her daughter's hand in her own.

"I told you before that when looking for a boyfriend, you can't just look at how good he is to you, you also have to look at how he treats other people. Today at dinner, he thanked the waiter more than once. Every time the waiter brought him food or water, he said thank you. And when he spoke, he looked at the person and didn't just say it perfunctorily."

Liu Xiaoli's eyes were filled with confusion.

"Wow, he's really great, very well-mannered. His parents must be like that too, and it's not easy for him to maintain such a demeanor in his position."

99

"So you agree? Then give Li Xun a rating!"

Liu Yifei was laughing so hard her eyes were practically slits, and her teeth were showing.

"I'd say 80 points."

Liu Yifei was shocked.

"Only eighty?"

Liu Xiaoli got up to pour water: "That's already very high. When have I ever given someone an 80?"

"What are the twenty points deducted for?"

"He's too young, too young. His career is still on the rise, there are too many variables. The two of you are not stable yet, and no one knows what the future holds."

"What about the other ten points?"

Liu Xiaoli brought over a water glass and gave her one as well.

"It's my selfishness as a mother. No matter how good or outstanding he is, he took my daughter away. Isn't it right to deduct ten points?"

""

Liu Yifei chuckled and reached out to hug her mother's waist.

"Mommy, you're so childish."

"Let go, the water's going to spill." Liu Xiaoli lifted the water bottle high and patted her daughter's back with her other hand.
