Madame, Congratulations on Your Promotion!

"Sister, I haven't seen you for days, and you've been living in such a dump? Ugh, it reeks!"

Chi Tingting had meant to come in, but upon seeing the shabby room, her face twisted in obvious disdain as though the place was beneath her dignity.

"Really? No one invited you in!" Chi Xiaoyu said with a cold face.

Chi Tingting felt a ripple of unease, sensing that Chi Xiaoyu had changed, no longer as docile and compliant as before.

Feeling guilty for a moment, she quickly stepped forward, affectionately took Chi Xiaoyu's hand, and cooed in a flattering tone, "Sister, I've missed you!"

"It's close to the school. Is it so strange that I live here?" Chi Xiaoyu smoothly freed her hand from Chi Tingting's grasp without a change in expression.

The smile on Chi Tingting's face became stiff, but she quickly regained her composure.

"By the way, Sister, have you done your graduation design project yet?"

"Yes, I'm in the process of preparing it, but it will be ready soon!"

"Really!" Chi Tingting's eyes lit up.

In the past, many times her design assignments were not up to the mark, she would seek Chi Xiaoyu's help to pull through, and Chi Xiaoyu always obliged without hesitation or excuse.

She had become accustomed to taking advantage of Chi Xiaoyu.

And this time, it was even more crucial than before.

"Sister, this year is the once-every-four-years graduation gala at school. Not only will the school leaders be present, but I've heard that executives from domestic and international fashion companies will be there too. This is not only about whether we can graduate smoothly. If someone spots your talent, you could be instantly promoted to a gold-medal designer, with a limitless future ahead of you. Sister, I believe in your ability; your designs are the best."

"Oh, really?" Chi Xiaoyu sneered.

Just a few days ago, she was being compared to Chi Xiaoyu on Bo Xuan's bed, and now she was shamelessly cozying up like this. This must be what it's like when someone is shameless to the extreme!

"Yes, Sister, do you doubt my judgment? Look, you're about to get married anyway, and then you'll be a full-time housewife. So, why not transfer your design project to me, so I have something to live on?"

With an innocent smile, Chi Tingting boldly asked for something that wasn't hers.

Chi Xiaoyu felt a wave of disgust.

The once-every-four-years gala was a big deal in the fashion world.

Anyone with half a brain knew how beneficial it was to increase visibility at such an event.

How beautiful a dream, thinking you could just seize that splendid chance. You know enough to grab it, so why should I give it to you?

Besides, you have always treated me like an idiot, fooling me all along.

"Sorry, I've spent four years at university, and I want a perfect ending. So, I don't plan on giving my design project to you. Also, I intend to contend for the gold medal at the graduation gala!" Chi Xiaoyu stated calmly.

Chi Tingting was stunned; she had never expected Chi Xiaoyu to refuse her.

In the past, whatever Chi Tingting wanted from Chi Xiaoyu, she got. But now, Chi Xiaoyu was no longer hers to command. Moreover, Chi Xiaoyu was about to become her competitor!!!

"Sister, how can you be like this? I love you so much, why won't you give me the chance!" Chi Tingting began to play the pity card.

But Chi Xiaoyu had long seen through her and laughed coldly twice.

"If you want to get noticed, you need to work for it on your own. Oh, and this time, if you want to win a prize, you're going to have to beat me!"

Chi Tingting was utterly disappointed.

She could see that the look in Chi Xiaoyu's eyes was very different from before.
