Delicate best friend of the Female lead - Chapter 166

“It will only be yours.”

Facing Huo Ci’s dark and deep eyes, An Xia unexpectedly felt strange.

And this kind of strangeness made her heart throb.

Soon, Huo Ci retracted his palm again and the gaze away from An Xia which gradually changed from gentle to cold.

“So, lady, please put away your wallet. We don’t need such a little money from you.”

Catherine, who had a high self-esteem, was so angry.

She, who had always been aloof, had been embarrassed as if slapped in the face continuously!

Such a shame. If the other party’s status was higher than her, it would have been fine.

But the two people in front of her were obviously just ordinary “nouveau riche”, how could she stand it?

So, she, who couldn’t swallow because of a single breath, got on a tiff with Huo Ci and An Xia.

“Ms. Catherine, we can customize a dress for you.”

The customers had a dispute over a dress, so staff quickly persuaded her.

They were even more helpless in their hearts.

Usually, their workshop only accepted one customer to customize and they all served customers individually.

But that day, two people who they couldn’t afford to offend arrived.

Forget about Catherine, their boss personally ordered them to receive the Chinese male guest named Huo properly.

His identity shouldn’t be simple.

“I want that one today.”

For the sake of her own face and her high self-esteem, Catherine was also bound to win that pearl gown.

There was only one such gown in the world. It was unique.

“Sorry…Ms. Catherine, we really can’t accept your request.”

The designer had a headache facing Catherine. If they were destined to offend one of the two customers, then they must choose not to offend the one who was right.

Not only because of their brand’s professional ethics, but also because of their boss’ personal instructions.

By these two points, Huo Ci weighed more than Catherine.

And the performance of Elie Saab staff, of course, was seen by Catherine.

She became more and more angry.

“Do you know who I am?! I am a good friend of the Duchess of Wales! You dare to be so rude to me?!”

The designers of Elie Saab were a bit stunned.

These designers knew who the Duchess of Wales was.

The duchess and their boss weren’t only close friends, but she was also an investor in Elie Saab.

Huo Ci, who had initially ignored Catherine and was about to take An Xia away from there, stopped after hearing her words and looked at her with a somewhat intriguing expression on his face.

The reaction of the Elie Saab staff, as well as the reaction of Huo Ci, made Catherine proud.

She looked at Huo Ci with a scornful expression on her face.

“It should be impossible for a person like you to know the Duchess of Wales. I advise you…” Catherine looked at Huo Ci with a smug smile and her tone was full of malicious mockery.

However, what she didn’t expect was that the lowly person in front of her that she couldn’t even look down on, calmly spoke, “Oh, the Duchess of Wales you are talking about, is it Madame Cape?”

Huo Ci’s fluttering sentence made the smile on Catherine’s face freeze.

Maybe ordinary people would know the Duke of Wales from the Internet. After all, the Duke was too rich, so he was more famous.

Because of deliberate blocking of news on the Internet, the average person really didn’t know the name of the Duchess of Wales.

Therefore, when Huo Ci spat out the name “Mrs. Capet”, Catherine was a little unconfident.

She started to wonder whether she was too careless.

When black-haired woman next to the Asian man looked at Huo Ci with a confused face, she felt that the Asian man must be fooling her.

Even if the Duchess’ information was indeed blocked deliberately. If one really wanted to find it, they could still find something.

The man must be pretending to deceive her.

“Hehe, anyone can enter Elie Saab now, it’s really a price drop.”

“Madam, I would like to ask you, what is your relationship with Mrs. Capet? How come I have never heard that Mrs. Capet has a friend like you. Moreover, as far as I know, Mrs. Capet is extremely noble and elegant. Her friend will not be as vulgar and rude as you.”

If the woman Huo Ci faced wasn’t An Xia, he wouldn’t be a gentleman.

How would he respond politely to people?

And Catherine, obviously, was almost cursed by Huo Ci.

In her eyes, she was noble and elegant and Huo Ci and An Xia were vulgar and rude inferior people.

She was questioned by someone she looked down on. How could she not be angry?

“You people dare to impersonate the friend of the Duchess! I will definitely ask the Duchess to sue you!”

Facing Catherine’s angry words, An Xia got a little worried about Huo Ci.

She pulled his palm and looked at him with worry, “Is it all right?”

“Rest assured.”

Seeing the worry in An Xia’s eyes, Huo Ci softened. He didn’t want to make too much noise, so he calmly took out his phone.

The phone was connected quickly, “Hey, Aunt Capet, yes, this is my phone number. Yes, only you know it.”

When Huo Ci called the duchess, Aunt Capet, who seemed to be very powerful, An Xia was stunned.

Oh my god! Wasn’t Huo Ci a poor boy without any background?

Why was there an aunt who was the Duchess popping up now?!

She must be dreaming!

“Aunt Capet, do you know a person named Catherine? Well, this friend of yours is simply too difficult to describe. She has no manners as a lady and her words are vulgar…”

Catherine looked at Huo Ci who was on the phone coldly. She didn’t believe Huo Ci at all.

She had never heard that the duchess had a nephew. Not only that, she hadn’t even heard that she had a sister. Of course, the most important point was that the Capet Family was a noble family with the purest aristocratic ancestry and ancient noble families like them were generally married to other ancient nobles and they absolutely wouldn’t accept mixed genes of other races.

The proud Capet family would rather their family be extinct than let their bloodlines be ‘impure’.

Huo Ci was obviously an Asian. Although his facial features were very deep, she could still tell that he was an Asian with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin.

“She also said that she would ask you to sue me, the one who pretended to be your friend.”

The mockery on Catherine’s face grew stronger.

“This gentleman, I think you may have made a mistake. The Duchess never had a nephew. If you want to lie, please do your homework before you come.”

However, the triumphant look on Catherine’s face was soon broken.

Because–

“Madam, Mrs. Capet would like you to answer the phone.”

Huo Ci looked at Catherine with a faint smile and passed the phone in his hand.

Originally, Catherine didn’t want to answer the fake call, but because of the faint indifference on Huo Ci’s face, she answered the phone to reprimand the liar severely.

The voice on the phone was exactly the same as the voice of the Duchess!

“The Duchess of Wales?! It’s really you?!”

Although An Xia didn’t know what the duchess said to Catherine on the phone, from Catherine’s pale and bleak face, she could guess that this phone call was a big blow to her.

It would definitely not be a good thing.

In the end, Catherine, who was originally proud and looked like a peacock, returned the phone to Huo Ci with a complicated complexion and apologized very sincerely to Huo Ci and An Xia and finally left.

The staff were also relieved.

After all, they couldn’t afford to bother Catherine and Huo Ci, the two guests!

Then the group of designers who were still a little arrogant, treated An Xia and Huo Ci more diligently.

Could the Nephew of the Duchess be a simple character?!

And it seemed that the Duchess of Wales liked this nephew who suddenly popped out.

“Huo Ci, are you still the Huo Ci I know?”

After An Xia came out of the Elie Saab workshop, she still felt like she was dreaming.

“Poor boy” Huo Ci, just like that, became the duchess’ nephew?

Was he a nobleman?
