Chapter 215: Chapter 0215: My Wife is Too Kind-Hearted, Too Kind
Those who had been gossiping and saw the person in question all acted as if nothing had happened, and went about their business as usual.
Mu Lan fixed her gaze forward, looking at Katrina reflected in the large makeup mirror in front of her.
“Miss Katrina, you certainly didn’t come just to say these things, did you?”
Katrina lifted her chin, walking towards Mu Lan in her high heels with an air of arrogance.
“Don’t think I don’t know that you’re the one behind those shenanigans, you despicable Eastern monkey.
I thought you were just an insignificant nobody, but it turns out your husband is a tycoon. How does it feel to use money to buy your awards? Are you comfortable with that?”
Mu Lan admired her resilience; despite such a scandal, she could still show up here as if nothing had happened.
A close look at Katrina’s face and neck revealed injuries, a testament to how fierce the conflict had been the day before.
“Watch your language. As for whose awards are tainted, I think everyone is well aware of the truth. Thinking of turning right into wrong? You’ve miscalculated.
For a designer to do such things, it’s not just your own reputation you’re ruining. Please, enough is enough.”
Katrina, extremely angry, displayed an ugly expression, and her words turned increasingly offensive.
“Who do you think you are to lecture me? Don’t think you’re something special just because you have Sara and Vincent backing you up.
The fashion industry isn’t easy to break into, especially the fashion circles in Europe. Every year, numerous aspiring designers fail here.
Do you think you can skyrocket to success? Don’t be so naive!”
Mu Lan coldly smirked.
“Who said I want to skyrocket in Europe’s fashion circles?”
Katrina looked at Mu Lan suspiciously, clearly weighing the truth of her words.
“Could it be that you don’t plan to stay in Paris?”
Mu Lan’s tone was indifferent.
“Where I stay is none of your business. It’s my own affair.”
Katrina, however, thought Mu Lan was playing hard to get.
“Spare me those righteous-sounding words. Don’t you want to climb to the top?
That’s the usual tactic of you Easterners, getting a gold plating to deceive your compatriots back home, pretending to be impressive.
If you’re so confident, why don’t you go back and establish your own brand?”
Mu Lan suddenly laughed, staring intently at Katrina.
“You’ve reminded me, that is indeed an option. Well then, I’ll stay and get that gilding.”
“You!”
“What brings you here today? Katrina, weren’t you going to E Magazine for a photoshoot? I recall Lauren mentioned doing a feature interview with you.”
Sara walked over, her presence dominating. Even someone as haughty as Katrina seemed like a little chick in front of her.
“Sara, I didn’t agree to Lauren’s interview. If V Magazine is interested, maybe I’ll consider it.”
Clearly, it was a scandal that made Lauren cancel her interview; but coming from Katrina, it sounded like she had turned it down herself.
Sara raised an eyebrow.
“Oh, no need to think about it. The protagonist of my feature is right here. Sweetheart, this style looks absolutely beautiful on you; I love it.”
Mu Lan smiled slightly.
“Thank you.”
Watching the interaction between the two, Katrina was close to exploding with rage.
Damn it, it was all because of this woman that she became a laughingstock. She definitely couldn’t let her off easily; this was her turf, and she dared to show wildness on her head.
Katrina’s eyes rolled, revealing a malicious smile.
Meanwhile, Huo Tingxiao was at the manor, meeting with Louie, the Family Head of the Lawrence Family, and the two hit it off well.
“I really owe you one for handing over the business in Europe to us this time; you’ve been a great help.”
“You are too kind. I am here today to discuss the matter regarding Mr. Gaston’s daughter.”
Louie’s expression didn’t change, but a trace of helplessness appeared in his eyes.
It was Katrina again, this niece of his was really a handful.
“I’m sorry, my niece is really quite thoughtless. Where did she offend you…?”
“My wife was injured because of her.”
Huo Tingxiao spoke evenly, yet the ruthlessness in his eyes made Louie inwardly shudder.
“Good heavens, what happened? Gaston never mentioned this to me.”
“That’s why I’ve come to inform you in person.”
To inform…
Louie suddenly had a bad feeling.
“So, you’re here today to seek revenge for your wife?”
“Don’t make it sound so bloody, it’s not revenge. You should know your niece well enough; who knows what she might do next? I can’t just sit by and watch my wife be bullied, right?”
It turned out to be a warning, and Louie nodded, indicating he understood.
“I will warn Gaston strictly to educate his daughter properly. Katrina is just too high-profile, acting lawlessly on account of the family. I’ve long told her not to be like this.
I am truly sorry and please convey my apologies to your wife.”
“My wife is kind-hearted, she’s too good and wants to act as if nothing happened.
She’s afraid I’ll be bullied in Paris, and as a man, if I can’t stand up for my own woman, that would be quite pathetic.”

Louie understood the implication behind Huo Tingxiao’s words.
“Who could bully you in Paris? You’re a partner of the Lawrence family; besides, Mr. Long is also your friend, nobody would dare to cross you.”
Huo Tingxiao picked up the wine glass and his gaze fell on the glass, replying indifferently:
“I’ll remember what you said, Mr. Louie. For the sake of the Lawrence family, I won’t pursue the previous matter with Katrina further, but if she does it again…”
“I assure you, she absolutely will not.”
Seeing Louie so emphatically certain, Huo Tingxiao also felt that Katrina, no matter how foolish, wouldn’t dare to cross that line again.
But unfortunately…
The photoshoot went smoothly and was wrapped up quickly, finishing all the work before noon.
“I’ve never seen Sara get to work so early. People in the fashion world are night owls; the later at night, the more beautiful they become.
To start in the morning is very rare indeed.”
Mu Lan was stunned; she didn’t even know about this unspoken rule.
She looked with immense gratitude toward Sara, who was not far off communicating with the photographer about selecting the best shots.
“I’m in a hurry to return home, so… I really appreciate your hard work.”
The makeup artist seemed surprised by the reason, raising an eyebrow.
“Wow, when will we have the chance to see you again? Do you not plan to make your debut in Paris?”
“I’m returning home to build my own brand. Although Paris is the fashion capital of the world, I think it’s better to progress step by step, aiming to bring my brand to Fashion Week next year.”
The stylist looked at Mu Lan with some astonishment; if Mu Lan did not plan to debut in Paris, there was no need for Sara to feature her in this special edition.
So, this further illustrated how much Sara admired her.
“Alright, darling, I’ll look forward to our next meeting, you really looked stunning today.”
“Thank you, I look forward to our next meeting as well.”
Sara saw Mu Lan changing her clothes and walking over in high heels.
“Tracy sweetie, I still have something to tell you, um… it might be a bit sudden, but… I hope you will agree.”
Mu Lan looked at Sara, who seemed somewhat hesitant to speak, but she remained very composed.
“Of course, please go ahead.”
