Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1318 - The Finale Piece "Puerile Phoenix"

Chapter 1318: The Finale Piece “Puerile Phoenix”

The exhibition had been going on for one and a half hours and the showcase of Mo Yunyao’s designs had also come to an end. They were now presenting the more iconic and meaningful pieces that had been launched by the Wen Corporation throughout the years. Although they had already lost Mo Yunyao and there were rarely any stunning pieces ever since her demise, the Wen Corporation had still produced plenty of remarkable pieces.

At this moment, everyone finally realized that the Wen Corporation had managed to present to everyone their remarkable foundation in jewelry design through the exhibition.

Wen Xinya took everyone by surprise and presented Mo Yunyao’s designs during the exhibition. Although only four of her designs had been showcased, they were all certain that Mo Yunyao had left behind more than four designs. However, who could guess how many there really were?

Of course, the Wen Family now had Wen Xinya, the talented heiress who had perfectly inherited Mo Yunyao’s talent in jewelry design. Within just three years, she had already shone and exhibited her flair for jewelry design and stepped onto the path towards becoming a successful jewelry designer. In the future, she would definitely become another Mo Yunyao. No one had ever doubted that.

Throughout the past six years, the Wen Family went through a drastic change and went through tumultuous times ever since they reunited with Wen Xinya. Not only did they fall out with the Xiao Family and gotten rid of the despicable Jiang Family, they even made use of Ai Shang Group to build a strong business in the skincare industry.

Although it seemed like the Wen Family was just expanding, everyone knew that Wen Xinya definitely had something to do with the various events.

The Wen Family was finally going to have a successor.

Staring at the exhibition on the runway with nostalgia, Old Mr. Wen said, “Your mother’s designs are still stunning even after 20 years!”

After watching the showcase of Mo Yunyao’s designs as well as the iconic pieces that had been sold by the Wen Corporation, Old Mr. Wen shook his head, for they could not hold a candle to Mo Yunyao’s designs at all. Even Wen Xinya could not compare to her. It was no wonder that Mo Yunyao could become so outstanding.

Wen Xinya exclaimed proudly, “Mother was so impressive!”

She sounded extremely proud and confident that she would one day be as impressive as her mother.

Old Mr. Wen noticed the confidence on her face and said with a smile, “This time, we’ll be showcasing five of your mother’s designs. Four have already been exhibited and we’ll be saving the last one, ‘Puerile Phoenix’, for the finale. It will be modeled by an international supermodel.”

Suddenly overwhelmed with an ominous feeling, Wen Xinya asked, “Did something go wrong with the original plan?”

Old Mr. Wen nodded and answered, “Soaring Public Relations company informed us that the model got into a car accident and injured her leg while on her way to Shangri-La. She’s now on her way to the hospital and she won’t be able to model the final piece. It’s too late to find a replacement now. A few of the shareholders have suggested that you model this set of jewelry. What do you think?”

The suggestion was indeed a great one. Surprisingly, even Wen Haowen agreed to it.

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Grandpa… I… how can I do it? I’m not a professional model. I doubt I can bring out the uniqueness of this piece!”

“Puerile Phoenix” was a special set of jewelry that could only be modeled by a specific type of model. Most models wouldn’t be able to exhibit the uniqueness and character of the jewelry. Firstly… it was a set of jewelry that was made of gold and gems. Most people knew that gold was the best material that could represent Chinese historical culture. Hence, the model had to be Chinese… and a world-renowned supermodel, because she would be modeling the finale piece. The strict requirements limited their choices.

Back then, she and Old Mr. Wen spent several consecutive nights trying to select a renowned Chinese supermodel. They even watched the runway performances of the shortlisted models before making their choice.

Old Mr. Wen said, “Although there are plenty of models displaying the jewelry pieces during the exhibition, they’re not famous enough and their auras aren’t suitable for modeling Puerile Phoenix. In order not to ruin your mother’s reputation, you’re the best candidate.”

Although Wen Xinya had been convinced by Old Mr. Wen, she was still feeling a little hesitant. “Grandpa, I remember that there were plenty of renowned celebrities amongst the guests today. I’m sure we can select one of them and invite her to model the jewelry.”

She was certain that none of the female celebrities would turn down the chance to model the jewelry designed by the esteemed and famous world-cla.s.s jewelry designer Mo Yunyao, because it would be an incredible honor to model those pieces which would give them a better reputation.

Most importantly, women would never be able to resist jewelry, let alone such a stunning set.

After thinking about the celebrities who had been invited, Wen Xinya shortlisted a few.

Old Mr. Wen said with a slight frown, “Xinya, no one in this world can model this jewelry set better than you do. I’ve thought about it carefully. Even those female models whom we’ve carefully selected can’t compare to you.

“You don’t have to deliberately do anything to showcase the pieces because I think your mother had designed this set for you in the first place. A puerile phoenix is a young phoenix that’s described to outs.h.i.+ne the older phoenix in a poem written by an ancient poet. Your mother’s greatest hope was for you to outs.h.i.+ne her.”

Wen Xinya remained silent after hearing his words.

Old Mr. Wen said, “As the only daughter of Mo Yunyao, you’ve inherited your mother’s talent in jewelry design and you have to succeed her. It’s only apt for you to wear the pieces designed by your mother. Your mother’s glory is a good clout for you.”

At last, Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Alright, Grandpa. I’ll do it.”

She could not turn Old Mr. Wen down at all.

Just as Wen Xinya was about to go backstage to get ready, a woman dressed in a suit scurried towards Wen Xinya and whispered something into her ear.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she looked extremely cold.
