The store manager smiled at Gu Wei while listening to the shop assistant’s whispered report, and her expression became strained as the assistant finished.
“Madam Yun, Miss Yun, our store has a lot of new outfits to offer. Our designer has released many new designs this season. Would you like to take a look?” she said politely.
When Yun Liu heard this, she glanced at the dress in her hand and retorted, “So what you’re saying is, you can’t sell this dress to me?”
The manager looked troubled as she replied, “That is correct, Miss Yun. This dress is reserved a few minutes ago. I’m very sorry. If you really like it, I can immediately notify our headquarters and have them send another dress over; you’ll only have to wait a day or two. Is that okay?”
“No!” Gu Wei interrupted the manager sharply. “We want this dress!” Her tone was resolute when she spoke. Yun Liu frowned and remained silent.
The store manager couldn’t help but inwardly wail. Both parties are the store’s important customers; she couldn’t afford to offend any of them. The main thing was the consequences of displeasing any side were very serious.
She decided to brave the storm and smilingly complimented, “Miss Yun, you have a great figure! You should try our other outfits—”
“Cut the crap! We’ll be taking this dress! Go ahead and refund the deposit; we’ll pay you double!” Gu Wei stated haughtily.
Seeing her attitude, the shop assistant hurriedly tried to help her manager by softly revealing, “Madam Yun, this really won’t do. The Shi family’s young miss bought this dress for her second sister-in-law. She didn’t pay the deposit; she already paid the full amount. It’s just that I haven’t gotten around to wrapping it up for her because she bought a lot, and I was busy dealing with them…”
Gu Wei grabbed the shop assistant’s arm with a look of surprise and questioned, ‘What?! What did you say? Who did you say bought this dress and for whom?”
The shop assistant nearly jumped out of her skin and stammered, “M-Miss Shi bought it for her second sister-in-law.”
“Yun Liu!” Gu Wei was overjoyed. “It turns out Shi Xiu bought the dress for you!” The store manager and the shop assistant looked at each other, stunned.
“Haven’t you heard?” Gu Wei proudly remarked. “Yun Liu and the Shi family’s second young master, Shi Nian, are childhood sweethearts! It’s not unreasonable for Shi Xiu to call Yun Liu her second sister-in-law. It’s only a matter of time before that is the case!” Yun Liu was slightly shy at that comment, and she blushed.
The store manager wasnt sure about the validity of Gu Wei’s words, but she also didn’t dare to dismiss them either. Such a matter wasn’t something to joke about; the average person wouldn’t have the guts to pretend to be Shi Nian’s girlfriend.
She hesitated before quickly putting on a smile. “So that’s how it is! Actually, we didn’t Imow. We honestly didn’t Imow, hehe. So, about this little issue…”
“It’s fine; it’s not your fault! Yun Liu is in the entertainment industry, so she always has to keep a low profile. For Yun Liu’s sake, Shi Nian has kept quiet about their relationship for the past few years, so it’s normal that you guys don’t know.” Gu Wei felt magnanimous and didn’t argue with the ignorant commoners before her.
“Alright, in that case, get this dress wrapped up. We’ll take it with us!” Gu Wei then turned to a still-blushing Yun Liu and said, “Yun Liu, give Shi Xiu a call to thank her, and be sure to treat her to a meal!” Yun Liu nodded lightly.
The shop assistant looked at the store manager, and just as she opened her mouth to speak, she heard a melodic voice coming from the shop entrance. “Are my clothes wrapped up?” the voice inquired. “I want to get two more outfits. You can send them all to my house later.”
The store manager and the shop assistant recognized the speaker and felt
relieved. They swiftly walked over and greeted, “Miss Shi, thank goodness you’re back.”
Shi Xiu was startled. “What’s wrong? What’s the thanks for? Are you guys always this mushy when welcoming your returning customers?” she asked, confused.
Straightaway, Shi Xiu noticed the dress held in Yun Liu’s hand. “Hey, hey, isn’t that the dress I bought? Why isn’t it wrapped up yet?” She reached out her hand to take the dress as she spoke. Only then did she glance at Yun Liu.
“Oh! Yun Liu, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. You’re shopping, I presume?” While she spoke, Shi Xiu took the dress away from Yun Liu. She handed it to the shop assistant and asked her to wrap it up before she reprimanded her, “This is a gift for my second sister-in-law. Why are you showing it to other customers after I’ve already paid for it? Are you new here? Don’t you know the rules?”
Shi Xiu then turned to the store manager and commented, “Oh, good, just the one I’m looking for! Manager, your training isn’t up to standard! You should teach her properly!”
“Hurry up! Oh, wrap the yellow and the blue dresses up as well; I can’t have others wear the same outfit as my sister-in-law. Hello, Aunt Yun!” Shi Xiu talked a mile a minute; as she instructed the shop assistant to do her bidding, she even took the time to greet Gu Wei.
The store manager and her shop assistant were dumbfounded, and so were Gu Wei and Yun Liu. Seeing the shop assistant’s frozen state, Shi Xiu took down two dresses of similar styles herself and stuffed them into the shop assistant’s hands, who hurriedly caught them..
