The fashion show at Imperial Sky Fashion City was not organized by Glory World Corporation. Glory World was just one of the bigger sponsors, so the fashion show and a jewelry exhibition were combined together.
Most participants were brands in Imperial Sky Fashion City and Jewelry City as well as some external fashion labels and jewelry brands.
When this idea was first proposed, the intent was just to promote Fashion City since it was the main focus of Imperial Sky Entertainment City. They wanted to make it popular and encourage more brands to join them. This might indirectly affect the South River project as well.
However, after Jennie's suggestion, Glory World decided to increase its sponsorship and added the jewelry section as well. Although it was decided rather suddenly, every unit reacted well, so things went well in the end.
The competition started yesterday and the finals were today. The judges consisted of renowned fashion designers and jewelry designers. Naeyon's company was invited as well. She would never give up a chance like this.
Below Ye-Jin's apartment in University A, Naeyon waved to Ye-Jin when she saw her. "Aunt Shen, I'm here!"
Ye-Jin soon found Naeyon's car parked by the roadside, so she went over and got into the car. Naeyon was not driving; it was her company car.
"Aren't your parents going?" Ye-Jin put up a gentle smile as usual and asked.
"My mother went to visit some schools with my father. They'll try to make it later if they still have time. Jennie just sent me a message to fetch you earlier. By the way, Aunt Shen, I think I saw Mayor Kim leaving just when I arrived." Naeyon gave Ye-Jin a brief glance.
Ye-Jin's expression froze for a moment. He somehow found out that Lisa had met with an accident, and that Jennie had rushed over to City B late at night. Jennie switched her phone off and he could not get through, so he asked her about it instead. However, Ye-Jin was not well-informed about what had happened either.
Jennie must not want her to worry, hence keeping her in the dark.
Naeyon did not press on the matter when she noticed that Ye-Jin did not seem comfortable. She knew that things were complicated between Ye-Jin and Hyunbin, and Jennie's expression would darken every time she mentioned it.
After dinner, they arrived at Imperial Sky Entertainment City right after sunset.
The competition stage was set up right in front of the exhibition center. They could see many flowers from far away, and huge promotional posters were plastered everywhere. With the enormous crowd milling around, the parking lot was already filled a long time ago.
"There are so many people! So lively!" Naeyon looked downstairs at the crowd.
"The jewelry exhibition is attractive enough with its huge scale. There are many people who're just here for fun anyway. That explains the crowd today." Ye-Jin smiled. "I think your designs are pretty. Why don't you enter the competition this time?"
Shrugging, Naeyon touched the slight bump on her stomach. "With this little thing inside me, I feel like I can't really do much."
"Do you have strong reactions?" Ye-Jin smiled. "It was the same the last time when I had Jennie. It's quite tiring. Give it another two or three months and you'll feel it acting up more. Till then, you'll truly feel that it's going to take your life away."
"Now, I know how tough it is to be a mother. Some time ago, I still argued with my own mother. and now..."
Naeyon sighed before going upstairs with Ye-Jin. They handed their invitation cards to the staff who quickly gave them a smile. "Madam Shen, Ms. Im, please follow me this way. I'll bring you to your seats."
"Alright, thank you!"
It was especially crowded inside the hall when they went in. Countless beams of neon lights flashed everywhere and a grandly decorated T-stage was spread at the front. The whole place gave off a romantic and exclusive vibe, befitting the theme of this event: Flowing Light!
Many important guests attended the event as well. When Ye-Jin and Naeyon sat down at their seats, the seats around them seemed to be occupied with people of power. Before she could take a better look around, a slightly strange voice reached them.
"Aunt Shen, long time no see!"
Ye-Jin was stunned for a moment before looking over at the source of the voice. She then noticed that Kai was standing right before her!
Although she rarely interacted with Kai, she saw him pretty frequently on the TV. With all the things that had happened recently, Ye-Jin was no stranger to Kai's face!
Before Ye-Jin could reply Naeyon said something first, "Kai! Why are you here?"
She noticed that Kai was visibly much skinnier than before. He also seemed tired and pathetic while his exhausted expression looked bleak, and his eyes were even quieter than before.
"Naeyon," Kai greeted quietly when he saw Naeyon beside Ye-Jin, but his eyes never moved away from the latter.
After a while, Ye-Jin nodded back at him. "Long time no see."
Kai smiled and sat down two seats beside Ye-Jin.
Ye-Jin did not have a good impression of him. He was supposed to be Jennie's husband, and in the end, he had chosen Chaerin's daughter, Krystal. As a result, he had abandoned Jennie and thrown her into depression for several years until Lisa's appearance.
Even though Kai decided to divorce Krystal, he did not release any news at all yet. Therefore, everyone still thought they remained a happy couple. To them, Kai was a good man who loved his wife very much.
Naturally, Naeyon thought so too. She was reminded about all the hardships Jennie had gone through. Her anger towards Kai never subsided at all.
"Aunt Shen, I heard that Master Manoban and Jennie are taking their wedding photos soon. I think they can take an extra set at University A, especially since the flowers are blooming there. When I went there today, I could smell the lovely fragrance." Naeyon was talking to Ye-Jin cheerfully, but she was stealing glances at Kai.
