Chapter 118 (1/2)

“The third great beauty is your cousin, Li Yuewen.” Li Mingyu laughed, ignoring Li Yuewen’s warning gaze.

“*Splurt*…” Claire spit out the flower tea ungracefully. Sitting across from her, Walter was completely drenched. Next to him, Summer and Qiao Chuxin were also sprayed a little. Walter turned gloomy but didn’t dare to retort.

“Damn brat, what’s with that attitude?” Seeing what Claire had done, Li Yuewen turned crazy, about to attack Claire.

“Haha, my bad, my bad alright? Great beauty cousin Yuewen….” Claire begged for mercy while laughing. “Then, great beauty cousin Yuewen, are you going that day too?”

“No.” Li Yuewen humphed coldly. “We don’t have money to donate, in any case.”

“That’s right. Nowadays, out of the three great beauties, Shui Xinmei has already been married into the Feng clan whereas your cousin, Yuewen, rarely appears in public, so currently, Hua Xiuning is taking the spotlight,” Li Mingyu said with a low voice, his gaze complex.

Claire understood Li Mingyu’s feelings. The Li clan was declining every day, its glory gone.

“Hua Xiuning has the spotlight?” Claire stroked her chin, deep in thought.

“Right. Think about it. That day, that woman will take the spotlight again, meaning the Hua clan will also take the spotlight.” Li Yuewen humphed coldly. The Hua clan and Li clan had always been rivals. Just thinking about it made Li Yuewen unpleased.

“Cousin Yuewen, don’t be so angry.” Claire laughed, her eyes turning to slits.

“Damn brat, what you thinking? How am I angry?” Li Yuewen grumbled.

“I’m thinking of…” A strange smile appeared at her lips. “Taking the spotlight!”

“Take the spotlight? How?” Li Yuewen looked at Claire, baffled.

“Cousin Yuewen, you will attend the convention this time and not only that, you will bring someone with you! We also need to bring outstanding treasure,” Claire said solemnly.

“Bring someone? And since when did we have any treasure?” Li Yuewen looked at Claire with confusion, not understanding what exactly Claire was planning.

A sly smile appeared at her lips. Claire turned to the currently eating happily Dong Fenghou and said, “Don’t you think Dong Fenghou is pretty?”

Everybody’s gazes were drawn toe Dong Fenghou. Dong Fenghou currently had no class at all, currently stuffing his mouth with food, his mouth wide open. Dong Fenghou was enchantingly beautiful, but currently, he had no connection with beauty. Crumbs at the corners of his mouth, oil all over his hands! Dong Fenghou suddenly sensed that something was off, looking up to see that everybody’s gaze was directed at him.

“What?” Dong Fenghou mumbled. Although he was slow, he was still able to sense that there was something unusual with Claire’s gaze.

“No, he’s too stupid and his words are unclear. Even if he was disguised as a beauty, he wouldn’t be able to act as one.” Camille saw through Claire’s plan and refuted it.

Ah?! Everybody suddenly understood what exactly Claire was planning on doing. If Dong Fenghou was dressed as a girl then he would be devastatingly beautiful! Saying that thousands would fall for him wouldn’t be an exaggeration. If he appeared in the convention like that, then he would definitely attract everybody’s gaze. But Dong Fenghou only knew how to eat. What else could he do? Everything would be ruined the moment he opened his mouth.

“That’s true.” Claire stroked her chin, nodding a bit unwillingly. She almost forgot that the charming, devastatingly beautiful youth was like a pig. There was no way he could attend!

Claire’s gaze shifted to Summer and Qiao Chuxin, but rejected the idea. These two little girls, their appearances were both delicate and innocent, not capable of seducing anyone. Walter? Leng Lingyun? Jean? Claire automatically rejected them all. These people would prefer dying before crossdressing.*TL: nuuuu

Then what should they do? Claire was conflicted. The best candidate, Dong Fenghou, wouldn’t work. Then who else would work?

“Are you trying to find someone even more beautiful than Huo Xiuning? That won’t be easy. Huo Xiuning is truly beautiful.” Li Yuewen walked through the loopholes of Claire’s plan. “Hua Xiuning has a very high goal. She has always been aiming for the crown prince in order to become the crown princess and in the future, the empress, so she’s always been searching for chances to meet the crown prince.”

“But she hasn’t succeeded?” Claire smiled coldly.

“How did you know?” Li Yuewen asked, a bit surprised. “The crown prince has never declared anything.”

“If she succeeded, then you wouldn’t have such a tone,” Claire teased, raising a brow.
