Chapter 348 - Proud Of You (1/2)

Everyone's heart softened when they heard Jiang Xue Zi's words.

”Your mother is always in your heart, and even though she never got to try your designs, I am sure that she is pleased to see you working hard for your dreams. Your mother raised you on her own because she loves you that much. She loves you that much that she couldn't bear to leave you for a second of her life and make you feel neglected in any way. She must have wanted to see her daughter becoming independent before she left, and that's why she pulled through till your graduation. When she left, she must have felt that you were independent enough to take care of yourself, and she didn't have to worry about you anymore. I am sure that her heart ached a lot when she left you alone, but you should be happy for her as well because she didn't have to suffer any more physical pain. Your mother must be very proud to see her daughter shining on the stage now. You are your mother's most treasured ȧsset, and you made her proud just being over here.”

Jiang Xue Zi felt a warm feeling filling her heart when she heard Mo Xi's words, and she teared up, ”Thank you...”

”I am sure that you would meet a motherly figure soon, and she would love you the way your mother would still have if she were around. Now, I am not saying that she would replace your mother. I am saying that you would be able to feel comforted with what you would be receiving soon.”

Mo Xi smiled as she spoke, and Jiang Xue Zi teared up even more.

”Can... Can I make a request?” Jiang Xue Zi asked while she looked at Mo Xi with hopeful eyes.

Mo Xi's heart melted when she looked at Jiang Xue Zi's eyes, ”Sure.”

”Can I hug you?”

The audience seat went quiet immediately as they were stunned by Jiang Xue Zi's request.

Meanwhile, Mo Xi's bodyguards immediately stood up and were prepared to protect her because she was a Princess.

Mo Xi let out a soft laugh and got her bodyguards to go back before she answered Jiang Xue Zi, ”Ok.”

Jiang Xue Zi walked down the stage while Mo Xi got up and walked towards her.

More tears rolled down Jiang Xue Zi's face when Mo Xi was in front of her, and Mo Xi hugged Jiang Xue Zi tightly while patting her back.

”I am proud of you, just like how your mother would be of you.”

”Thank you...”

Jiang Xue Zi smiled happily as she felt comforted by Mo Xi's words.

The audience clapped loudly the moment they hugged.

”Your suit is amazing, but I am curious as to why you design it this way? The design of the buŧŧons on the suit jacket really pops out of the overall feel of the suit, which is plain itself. However, they are like the right kind of pop out.”

”As you said, the suit itself is plain. However, when the right design is incorporated, something plain could become something unique and amazing. This is just like people. Normal people need the right uniqueness and attractiveness to stand out in the crowd. This is also like how every individual is unique because we have different traits, even though we are all humans, males, or females. This is the reason and the starting point of me designing the suit this way.”

The judges nodded happily and continued to question her.

In the end, Jiang Xue Zi got 96.9 points.

After Jiang Xue Zi and her team left the stage, the ȧssistants cleared the stage once again and got the stage ready for the last designer, Lu Jin Sheng.

Once again, it was break time for the judges, and Yan Chu questioned Mo Xi once again about what was going on between her and Donovan.
