How Very Insulting!

“You guys don’t have to be so eager, I’ll just browse by myself,” Li Shengxia hinted at the store clerks to give her some space.

The store clerks quickly stood aside and let her browse on her own.

Li Shengxia surveyed the outfits in the shop and a shirt immediately caught her eye.

The attentive store clerk quickly noticed the shirt she expressed interest in and quickly brought it to her. “Miss, you have exquisite taste, this is the best-selling shirt in our shop! Try it on.”

Li Shengxia took the shirt and went to try it…

When she came out, it was as if the person inside the dressing room mirror was a completely different person. She had her silky, straight hair draped across her shoulders. The aesthetic of the short white skirt perfectly complemented her fine appearance, thus resulting in an indescribably beautiful look.

“It’s beautiful, it suits you very well!”

“Miss, with your looks, you could carry any style. This here carries a fair and elegant style, this one here is more of an exotic enchanting style, and if you are going for a cute look… You can give these a try.”

Li Shengxia was fond of the shirt as well, but when she absent-mindedly flipped over the price tag, she was shocked by the numbers presented to her, six figures! In other words: robbery!

She knew it! Mo Nianchen was messing with her! He said it was cheap! This was ridiculous.

A strange red flush appeared on Li Shengxia’s cheeks. She wanted nothing more than to quickly return the shirt and get out of here as soon as possible. She was going to steer clear of this street from now on!

“Miss, do you like it? I can bag it for you.”

“It… It’s al…”

Before she could even get the words “Alright” out of her mouth, the store owner seemed to have understood what she was trying to say and quickly replied, “Oh yes Miss, I forgot to inform you that today is our store’s anniversary. Everything is discounted and if you spend a thousand you can get a gold card and take three articles of clothing of your choice!”

“Really?”

Li Shengxia stared at him in disbelief, three clothes for a thousand? The cheapest clothes here were easily worth above five figures… Could she be dreaming? The store owner did seem very sincere though.

She did not want to waste the money Mo Nianchen gave her, but she did have a thousand of her own money in her purse. She would be ecstatic if that was true since that would mean she did not have to embarrass herself in a third shop lot.

The store owner smiled heartily. “Of course!”

Li Shengxia was not sure what would have made the shop give such a steep discount, but she went with it anyway. “Then please put this one, this one, and this one in a bag for me…”

“Miss, everything you want is bagged for you. Are you paying by cash or by card?”

“Cash.”

“Alright! Please do come back again, if you are satisfied please put in a good word for us!”

“Sure, no problem.”

Li Shengxia paired one of the short white skirts with her trench coat and stepped out in high heels.

The store clerk happily escorted her out of the shop. Li Shengxia turned around to look at the storefront and wondered why there was nobody else in the shop if the items were so cheap. Something felt off to her here.

Also, they said something about putting in a good word? What did they mean by a good word? Probably asking her to help promote their shop! Well, she would gladly promote a shop like this!

As Li Shengxia left the store, her unpleasant mood quickly vanished as well.

Inside the shop.

“Owner, she’s gone.”

“She took so many clothes, such terrible losses… This is going to leave a mark!” each article of clothing was easily worth six figures, she took so many for just one thousand! It was a daylight robbery!

“What are you going on about, the crown prince already billed in the full amount, what we’ve taken are just tips.”

“Wow! So she’s the crown princess!?”

“Look at the crown prince go! Spoiling his darling wife!”

“Keep your voice down! I heard that the staff from the previous store she went to were all fired because she couldn’t find anything satisfactory there.”

“I also heard that the crown prince mentioned in passing that the store had no reason for its existence. The moment she stepped out the door, the shop was closed down all of their employees were fired!”

“My God, she looks so kind too, I didn’t expect her to be this terrifying! Good thing I didn’t offend her just now.”

“Still, getting to sell out so many clothes in one go is great for business! I hope she comes here every day! This is great! I can smell the money coming in already.”

Li Shengxia kept feeling a strange, gloomy sensation behind her back as if someone was talking about her. She stood by the door for a moment and waited to make sure no one would run out and tell her that they messed up the promotional details, and only then did she decide to leave. She had barely taken a step when she saw Gina coming towards her direction.

Gina could not find anything worthwhile in the previous shop and had no choice but to come to this shop. This shop was far more high-end than the previous one and was far more expensive as a result. Truth be told, she was quite reluctant to shop here, but she had no other choice. Unexpectedly, she ran into Li Shengxia again!

Compared to just now, it was as if Li Shengxia had transformed into an entirely different person. She changed into a nice short white skirt and her beauty was out of this world. In the past, she was already the prettiest girl in the school. Her gentle charm and beauty could never go unnoticed. Taking a look at her now, she was even prettier than she was in the past! She possessed a natural-born beauty.

Unlike her… She had only managed to attain her current beauty after undergoing countless operations.

Gina noticed the amount of shopping bags Li Shengxia carried in her hands. Her eyes saw red and she said with a taste of contempt. “Must be nice getting hitched by the crown prince, look how the little ugly duckling turned into a swan.”

Li Shengxia smiled proudly and said, “That’s where you’re wrong, I bought these myself!” the money she spent was her own, she did not see why she had to feel like she was beneath others.

Especially if that other person was Gina!

Gina remarked disdainfully, “Who do you think you’re fooling? I can’t believe you still think you’re the little princess like you were in the past.”

“See for yourself if you don’t believe me. They have a promotion going on, it’s ridiculously cheap.”

Gina was feeling rather suspicious, the only clothing this shop sold were renowned international designer clothes, how could they be cheap? Ridiculously cheap, even?

Li Shengxia raised her eyebrows and muttered, “It’s up to you whether you believe me or not.” After that, with her haul of shopping bags in hand she went towards where Mo Nianchen parked his car.

On the other side, Gina pushed open the door and cleared her throat to ask, “I heard you guys are having some sort of promotion?”

The owner immediately responded, “Miss, you must be teasing us, we never run any form of promotions here.”

Gina walked in and grabbed the first shirt she could see and glanced at the price tag. Her eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets! Six figures for a shirt!

Li Shengxia was this rich!? How could she describe something this expensive as being cheap, how very insulting!

She knew it, Li Shengxia had played her for a fool! She could barely afford to buy a glove in his shop! She even said that it was ridiculously cheap! This was as good as giving her a good slap across the face!
