Yun Zhang reflexively said, “Don’t worry about it. Shi Nian won’t get the wrong idea about Yun Nan. Didn’t you hear him come forward and stand up for her?”

‘Darn it,’ Yun Liu thought. She blinked her eyes, and tears flowed down her cheeks once more as she asked Yun Zhang entreatingly, “Yun Zhang, does Shi Nian truly not want me anymore? Yun Liu, she—Shi Nian and I, we’re the ones who grew up together…” Yun Liu covered her mouth, and Yun Zhang could hear her repressed sobs.

Gu Wei felt like her heart was about to break. She went forward, wrapped her arms around Yun Liu, and comforted her, “Don’t cry, sweetheart, don’t cry. Don’t worry! We’ll visit the Shi family tomorrow and sort this out. We’ll demand Old Master Shi take a stand. He can’t keep letting Shi Nian act out like this! We’ll make it clear that our family wishes to marry you to Shi Nian and not Yun Nan! Darling, don’t cry. Mommy and Daddy are here for you!”

Yun Xiang angrily joined in the conversation, “That wretched girl is too unruly! What a rotten thing for her to do! Yun Zhang—yes, you—call Shi Nian out and talk with him! You’re their brother; you have the absolute right to approach him on this matter!”

Gu Wei also looked at her son and nodded approvingly at the idea. Yun Zhang stared back at her blankly. As Yun Nan and Yun Liu’s older brother, he did have the right to call Shi Nian out, but what then? Did they expect Shi Nian to break up with Yun Nan and marry Yun Liu? ‘Shi Nian already made his attitude very clear at the airport. How do they suppose I negotiate the matter with him? he thought

Besides, he wasn’t even qualified to meet Shi Nian’s assistant when they put aside this relationship. He feared just one look from Shi Nian would set him at a loss if he tried to speak with him.

Yun Xiang saw his son’s troubled expression and frowned. “You’re the eldest, so you should act the part! You’ll be the one supporting this family in the future. If you don’t back your sister up, who will she rely on then?”

Yun Liu looked at Yun Zhang tearfully, and Gu Wei stared at him earnestly. Yun Zhang inwardly struggled but finally nodded in acquiescence and left the house to meet Shi Nian.

Instead of waiting torturously for news at home, Gu Wei decided to take Yun

Liu out shopping. “You should go out shopping more when you have the chance right now. You won’t be able to do so leisurely when you become famous,” Gu Wei said with a smile, looking at Yun Liu as she tried on some clothes. Her heart filled with happiness at the sight.

Yun Liu pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and was quite pleased. ‘Wrap this up for me and show me your latest collection this season, ” Yun Liu instructed the staff nearby.

‘Yes, Miss Yun,” the shop assistant replied and delightedly jogged to bring Yun Liu the requested clothes. Yun Liu tried them on, one by one, and was satisfied with them, so she asked the shop assistant to pack them up for her.

A white dress caught Yun Liu’s eye, and she uttered, “I want this one too.”

Hearing that, another shop assistant hastily came over, smiled apologetically, and said, “My apologies, Miss Yun, but this dress is reserved. Why don’t you take a look at our other styles?”

“It’s reserved?” Yun Liu remarked with a raised eyebrow. “Then you should have taken it down. I don’t care. It’s placed here, so that means I can buy it. I will have this dress. Return the deposit to that customer; I’ll pay you double the amount. I’ll buy it without a discount,” Yun Liu coldly and scathingly stated.

The shop assistant gave her a troubled smile as she responded, “I’m sorry, Miss Yun. That customer has only just reserved the dress, and we haven’t had the time to pack it up. I sincerely apologize for the mix-up. Why don’t you have a look at our other designs? I can give you the highest discount.”

Yun Liu’s temper flared, and she fumed, “I don’t care. That’s not my problem; it’s yours. You’re the one who messed up!” The shop assistant was speechless, scared by her imposing manner.

“Where’s your manager?” Gu Wei chimed in. “Call her over! We’re your VIPs, and this is the way you treat us? I’m very disappointed with your service! Do you know the consequences if we inform our social circle of this?”

The shop assistant became even more flustered and quickly ran to get the store manager. The store manager greeted them from afar as she came over with a smile. “Hi, Madam Yun, Miss Yun, fancy seeing you here in our store today!” As the saying goes, you get more flies with honey than vinegar. Gu Wei and Yun Liu’s expressions eased up at her amiable demeanor.

The shop assistant quickly informed the manager in a low voice that Yun Liu had clutched the dress in her hand and refused to let go. Seeing this, Gu Wei was angered and arrogantly declared, “My daughter plans to pick a few clothes from your store. She’ll join the production team in the next few days and intends to wear your brand’s clothing for the filming. This is a great opportunity to promote your brand; even your boss won’t miss it, but your little shop assistant here has rocks for brains.. She doesn’t get it! Hmph!”
