My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 161

When the reporters saw the car, they thought that it belonged to some big shots, so they were prepared to take some photos. However, upon seeing the paper attached on the window, their paces came to a halt.

Who on earth is this? ‘Luxury car for rent. Price starting from 3,000 per day’?

The Harper Family certainly wouldn’t give their invitation cards to ordinary people. Therefore, the people who are present here are all nobilities or elites. Could it be that there is some poor guy who came in here by mistake?

Richard looked at the car, puzzled and shocked. He had verified all the invitation cards of the Harper Family before they were given out, so he was certain that the receivers were not ordinary people. Unless it was those two people…

Stanley was indeed handsomely dressed today. He was 1.85 meters tall, had a model-like figure, tanned complexion, as well as a spirit and vibe that seemed different from other people after having gone through military training. Together with his chiseled, good-looking facial features and a suit, he looked good on camera even in his military buzz cut. With a quick glance, people would think that Robert Pattinson was here. His looks were on par with the two male models that walked on the red carpet before him.

His outfit looked extraordinary, and it seemed to be from an international brand, L/K. However, together with the dazzling sign that stated ‘Luxury car for rent. Price starting from 3,000 per day’, his temperament instantly gave people an impression that they were high-quality replicas.

When the media spotted a male guest that looked pleasant to the eyes, they started to take lots of photos of him. However, most people eagerly took photos because they noticed that this person wore high-quality fakes to attend the banquet organized by the Harper Family. They were curious, and they found this scene embarrassing for him, so they took a lot of photos.

When Richard saw that Sophia’s new boyfriend came dressing in high-quality replicas with a rented vehicle, he found it understandable.

Their identity and spending power could only allow them to go this far. After attending the banquet today, Stanley would probably have spent his entire one-month earning from working at the construction site, and Sophia would have at least used up 6-months’ worth of earnings from making deliveries.

Xyla was extremely delighted as well and tugged on Richard excitedly. “It’s Sophia and Stanley! Let’s go and welcome them!”

Richard smiled. He tidied his bespoke suit, which was worth 100,000, and took Xyla, whose outfit was worth a few million, to meet Stanley, who was wearing ‘high-quality replicas’.

Kayla, who was unwilling to be outdone, tagged along as well.

After Stanley got out from the car, he immediately turned to the back seat to open the car door, and the reporters got closer to them.

The first person that was seen getting out from the car was a little boy with a gloomy expression. Seeing that he was so cute, everyone reluctantly took a couple of photos of him.

The next person was the one they had to pay attention to.

As the reporters had been informed by the Harper Family in advance about the things they had to take note of, they could instantly tell who might be in the car. Therefore, they took out their lenses, preparing to take as many photos as they could.

A person—no, a ball, a big red ball, came out from the passenger seat of the Cayenne.

It wasn’t cold at all inside the car because the heater was switched on. However, when the car door was opened, the cool air outside entered the car, causing Sophia to instantly shiver, and her body subconsciously curled into a ball. She rolled out of the car like a ball.

Stanley held his hand out to her like a gentleman, and Sophia took his hand. Hence, Stanley, who was dressed in ‘high-quality replicas’, held Sophia, who was wrapped up like a ball, and together, they walked toward the red carpet under the cameras of the bunch of reporters.

The reporters were rendered speechless. Everyone else came in formal suits, but the two of them actually came in ‘high-quality replicas’ and a down jacket.

And even the down jacket might have been a high-quality replica as well.

Stanley tossed his car keys to the valet while adjuring, “Be careful. Make sure you don’t scratch the car. I spent 5,000 to rent this car for a day.”

The valet sneered and drove the car away.

Sophia, who wore a down jacket, and Stanley, who wore ‘high-quality replicas’, walked on the red carpet. The flashes of cameras landed on them one after another like lightning, while Sophia was clumsily holding Nathan’s hand.

They were greeted by the three people from the front—the Harper siblings and Xyla. Richard wore a formal suit, and standing on his left was Kayla, who was wearing a pink evening gown. The floor-length skirt was embedded with jewels and pearls, and every detail was made extremely luxuriously; even her tiny hair pin was exquisitely designed.

Xyla wore a white evening gown, looking like a fairy that descended on earth, dazzling and stunning.

When the three of them walked toward Sophia, her red down jacket seemed to reflect the brilliant glare they emanated.

Richard shook Sophia’s hand in front of all the reporters. He even humbly uttered, “Thank you for attending our banquet today.”

When he was speaking, he tried hard to hold in his laughter for fear that he would laugh out loud in public. It was because Stanley and Sophia really looked ridiculous today!

Stanley and Sophia looked friendly as well. “Let’s talk inside.”

Though Sophia was wearing thick clothing on her, her shoes were thin. She curled up under the freezing temperature. She slid her hands into the down jacket, and her face was hidden under the collar; she looked extremely ridiculous.

Under the freezing coldness, is demeanor and looks more important than staying warm?

“Hurry up and go in. I’m freezing here!” Sophia urged Stanley from behind.

Holding two invitation cards in his hands politely, Stanley chatted with Richard enthusiastically while walking into the hotel.

Before Sophia even entered through the door, the news that she had shown up at the banquet in a down jacket had spread around the banquet hall. The students of Bayside University, who were close to the Harper and Huff Family, specially waited for her at the door to watch her humiliating herself. Some of them even broadcasted live on their university forum about Stanley wearing ‘high-quality replicas’ and Sophia wearing a down jacket. It was really embarrassing!

The guests present even started to discuss among themselves right in front of them.

“This is the first time I’ve seen anybody attending a banquet in a down jacket. They are so pitiful. They must have never been to such occasions before this! The clothes are so old-fashioned; she must have bought it online during the 12 December sale!”

“Stanley seems to be wearing clothes from L/K. That’s actually an international brand, and the goods are expensive. But in my opinion, those are high-quality fakes!”

“Haha, the person-in-charge of L/K for our country is here today too. I’m looking forward to his reaction when he sees the high-quality replicas!”

Upon hearing everyone’s discussion, Sophia clumsily poked Stanley with her finger. “Look, you are humiliating yourself by wearing high-quality replicas!”

Stanley refuted, “You are the same as well, wearing a down jacket on this occasion. You don’t feel embarrassed, but I’m ashamed for you! You are so ugly, looking just like a penguin, and the ugliest one, no less!”

“I didn’t want to wear a down jacket too, but the weather is too cold! At least I’m not wearing high-quality fakes! You are as ugly as sh*t, and the smelliest one, no less!”

“Do you think that I wished to do so? I’ve spent all my money to rent the car. If I bought new suits, I wouldn’t have been able to even afford to eat instant noodles for this semester! I even spent lots of money for this hairdo!”

“You are practically bald, so you look the same no matter what you do with your hair!”

“I used to have a crew cut, but today, I have an induction cut! There’s a large difference between the two!”

The two of them argued with each other, completely unfazed by the fact that the Harper siblings and Xyla were beside them.

Richard stifled a snicker, while Kayla and Xyla were covering their mouths and chuckling after trying hard to hold in their laughter but failed.

Nathan’s little face had a dark expression. This is so embarrassing!

Kayla headed into the hotel first. When Stanley and Sophia were ‘flirting’ with each other, she quietly said something to the waiter who was collecting the invitation cards.

When they finally arrived at the entrance, Stanley produced the invitation card and took Nathan into the hotel.

However, when it was Sophia’s turn, the waiter glanced at her in her down jacket. Wearing a professional smile, he uttered, “I’m sorry, Miss. You are not appropriately dressed, so you can’t enter the banquet.”

Therefore, Sophia was stopped outside.
