The Black Nightingale 1

For someone who was familiar with how The Black Nightingale worked, Xia An's red dress was definitely subpar to those Tang Moyu had seen before. It was only natural for her and Lu Tianxin to doubt its authenticity. Given how popular The Black Nightingale was, it wasn't surprising that some started to imitate her designs, but those couldn't be compared to the original.

The empress herself had a wardrobe filled with The Black Nightingale dresses. It was due to the fact that Li Meili liked to use her as one of her muses and always made sketches based on her body type and shape.

For the love of God, even Tang Moyu couldn't understand why Li Meili still insisted on using her as her subject, but being a good friend of hers, how could she deny Li Meili's requests?

Even now, Li Meili had also dragged her young daughter whenever she had time to make rough sketches of her new dresses. Li Meili once claimed that she and Little Star always gave her a good idea for her next creation that she couldn't help looking at the mother and daughter whenever she needed inspiration.

"You heard what I said. Are you going to pretend that you are deaf too?" Lu Tianxin barked back. This woman was starting to get under her skin, but she didn't dare to cause more trouble on her cousin Moyu than she already had.

Perhaps, by now, Tang Moyu was already thinking of ways to stop the news from spreading anytime soon. Her reputation as Tang Enterprise's Deputy CEO might get dragged into the issue and appearance these days were important, especially now that the company was in a delicate situation.

'I'm so sorry, Moyu,' Lu Tianxin thought to herself. She just had realized that her actions might put the company in a bad light, in case Xia An did come from an influential family. She might be a Tang, but she didn't bear the surname because she was a Tang woman's daughter. Her mother was the Tang, not herself.

At that moment, Xing Yiyue decided to step up and join the commotion. She gave Lu Tianxin and Elaine Wu a slight smile before standing next to Xia An.

"Xia An, calm down. You don't have to get riled up. Perhaps they aren't familiar with The Black Nightingale's works? It's only natural for some not to be familiar with it. As for your dress, just like they said, they can pay for the cleaning, right?" She said with a kind tone that pissed Tang Moyu off.

Xing Yiyue was still the same person she could remember. Behind those kind smiles and gentle eyes hid a devious woman. How many people had been deceived by her false facade anyway? Even the empress had fallen into one of her schemes and suffered a great loss… or did she?

"You are too kind, Sister Yue. Even for those who don't deserve your pity, you still show your concern." She told Xing Yiyue. This gave everyone the impression that Young Madam Feng was being compassionate to those who offended Xia An.

Tang Moyu wanted to puke right there. That's some kind of ass-kissing right there, alright. If Young Madam Feng allowed herself to be acquainted with such women, then there's really no hope for Xing Yiyue anymore.

Xing Yiyue only smiled innocently and cast Lu Tianxin a pitiful look. Lu Tianxin only arched a brow at her as if she was speaking nonsense to them.

"Ah, I'm just worried that this might cause a misunderstanding." She told them.

Xia An scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest as she glared at Lu Tianxin and Elaine Wu.

"This is the rare Cosmic red dress by The Black Nightingale. Of course, I would be offended by their accusation that I'm wearing an imitation!" She argued with Xing Yiyue.

The Cosmic red dress? Tang Moyu wanted to laugh at that.

"I didn't know that Miss Xia is a comedienne now." The empress couldn't stop herself and joined Lu Tianxin and the foreign woman's side. She gave Xia An a look before shaking her head.

"Miss Xia, I'm not sure where you got the idea that this was the Cosmic red dress made by The Black Nightingale. This…" she pointed at the red dress Xia An was wearing. "I'm sure that this is just a copycat and not the authentic one."

"Preposterous! You are lying!" The actress yelled at the empress's face while Xing Yiyue was taken aback that Tang Moyu had decided to show herself. She hadn't expected to see her here.

"Really? Then do you have proof that it is truly a Black Nightingale dress?" Tang Moyu ignored how Xia An yelled at her, but instead challenged her to prove the dress's authenticity.

Xia An couldn't understand why these women kept insisting she was wearing an imitation anyway? What do they even know?

"Weren't you the one who kept on accusing me that it was fake? You should be the one who needs to prove your claims, not me." She said arrogantly.

Dare to keep humiliating her in front of Xing Yiyue? What do they take her for? Since they were the ones who kept on insisting it was fake, they should face everyone's scrutiny when they couldn't even prove their claims.

"Sure." Tang Moyu said in her usual cold tone. She chuckled before pulling out of her phone, snapping a photo of Xia An's dress before dialing a number.

Actually, she was just waiting for Xia An to ask her to, because the best way to confirm her claim was to ask The Black Nightingale herself.
