"Silly girl, money is meant to be spent, not hoarded. Besides, with a fortune of several billion, why on earth would I need to save so much money? Is it for you? Or for future generations? Instead of saving money every day, it's better to spend some time learning how to make money. That way, you can ensure you'll have no worries for the rest of your life. Don't you agree?" Lin Yifan retorted.
After being scolded by her brother, Lin Yifei suddenly came to a realization.
Her brother was right. Money isn't something you can take with you at birth or death; hoarding too much of it is also pointless. Only by learning the art of making money can one ensure that wealth never runs out.
Once she understood this, she felt at ease.
Now that her family's circumstances had changed, she realized that her own views had to change as well. However, she would always maintain the virtue of thriftiness, because it was a virtue that would never go out of fashion.
After getting her hair done, Zhou Jiajia and the others took Lin Yifei shopping in the mall.
They visited a few shops and bought a few things, but it still wasn't enough.
As they passed "The Splendid Home" fashion boutique, Zhou Jiajia spotted a skirt for Lin Yifei, so they went into the shop to try it on.
"Miss has a great eye. This is a limited-edition floral fresh mid-length skirt from the high-end brand Xue Lanfu, with only ten pieces worldwide. It's extremely precious," the saleswoman at The Splendid Home introduced.
"Wow, it's a limited edition from Xue Lanfu; it looks really good! Yi Fei, go and try it on quickly," Zhou Jiajia urged, her heart blossoming with joy.
She had worn Xue Lanfu's clothes herself and felt that the brand's clothing was really nice. Plus, Xue Lanfu was world-renowned and counted among the top high-end fashion brands. Therefore, learning that the skirt she had chosen was a limited edition, she was somewhat reluctant to part with it.
However, as a sister-in-law, she had to sacrifice her desires. Moreover, she was at an age where fresh and clean dresses didn't quite suit her anymore, so she decided to leave it for the younger generation.
On the other side, Lin Yifei gently touched the floral skirt and instantly felt the silkiness of the fabric, which was worlds apart from the street stall merchandise. No wonder there was a distinction between the nobility and lowliness of clothes, as craftsmanship and materials really do make a difference.
So, after receiving the skirt, she happily went to the changing room.
A short while later, she appeared before everyone in the floral fresh dress, showing off her beauty.
Looking at the young and cute, sweet and lovely Lin Yifei, Zhou Jiajia and the others couldn't help but lavish her with praise, feeling it was a perfect match.
Even Lin Yifan, who rarely complimented anyone, praised his sister.
"Sister! Not bad at all! It suits your temperament perfectly. With this, you'll definitely turn heads when we go shopping."
"Does it really look that good?"
"Don't believe me, you can go look in the mirror yourself!"
Lin Yifei turned around and looked at herself in the mirror on the door of the changing room and saw that she was indeed beautiful.
At that moment, her heart was filled with sweetness, and she was very happy.
However, just as everyone was basking in happiness, a group of uninvited guests suddenly burst in.
Leading the group was a gorgeous woman, followed by four bodyguards for protection.
As soon as this woman saw the dress Lin Yifei was wearing, she became furiously enraged: "You wretch! How dare you wear my dress? Are you tired of living? Take it off immediately for me!"
The sudden outburst shattered the joyful atmosphere previously present. Everyone turned to look at the person who had spoken, curious to see who she was and why she dared to be so presumptuous.
Upon seeing the newcomer's true face, the staff at "Splendid Home" turned pale with fear and immediately scurried over, bowing and scraping as they asked, "Miss Wei, you've come again? Is there anything you need help with?"
"Splendid Home really has some nerve. Without my command, you actually dared to take it upon yourselves to sell my dress to someone else? Are you seeking death?" Wei Chengxue angrily inquired.
Her authority made all the staff present at Splendid Home tremble with fear.
"Miss Wei... Miss Wei, didn't you just say... that you didn't want this dress anymore? Why do you want it now?" asked the owner of Splendid Home, trying to suppress her fear.
Earlier, Wei Chengxue had visited "Splendid Home" to buy the Xue Lanfu floral dress she had reserved with a deposit. However, after receiving a phone call, she suddenly became furious and demanded that "Splendid Home" return all the deposits because she no longer wanted to make the purchase.
Given Wei Chengxue's family background, the staff at "Splendid Home" dared not offend her and obediently returned all the deposits.
Without the deposit, and the buyer no longer interested, the limited edition Xue Lanfu floral dress naturally became unclaimed, and "Splendid Home" felt free to sell it to anyone.
Thus, they felt wrongly accused and entirely innocent now.
"Now I'm in a good mood, and I want it again. What's the problem, can't I?" Wei Chengxue asked defiantly.
"It's possible, but you'll have to ask that young lady first," the shopkeeper responded, still nodding and bowing.
"What's there to ask? This dress was originally reserved by me with a deposit, meaning it's my property. Now I command you to take that dress down immediately, or else I will tear down your Splendid Home today," Wei Chengxue threatened furiously, leaving no room for negotiation.
The owner of "Splendid Home" found herself caught between a rock and a hard place but decided to try to persuade Lin Yifei, rather than offend Wei Chengxue.
"Miss, could you...?"
Just as she was about to continue, Lin Yifan cut her off with a flat refusal: "No!"
The owner of "Splendid Home" hadn't expected Lin Yifan to be so resolute, and now she was really in a difficult position.
But for the sake of "Splendid Home," she took the plunge anyway: "Sir, this dress was reserved by Miss Wei with a deposit; our store can't sell it to anyone else. Please understand."
"Are you joking with me? If it couldn't be sold, why didn't you stop us when we were about to try it on earlier? Why did you gleefully encourage us with smiles?" Lin Yifan demanded.
He felt that the owner of "Splendid Home" was lying and deceiving him for her own benefit, which he could not tolerate.
As a businessperson, one should honor their word. Offending other innocent customers for fear of provoking someone powerful is unforgivable.
"This..." The owner of Splendid Home indeed had no justification, but even with loss of face, she was prepared to fight to the end for Miss Wei.
"I let you try on the dress because I saw how much you liked it; there was no other intention. Please, customer, don't overthink it."
"Fucking hell, are you asking for trouble?" Lin Yifan exploded with rage, grabbing the owner of Splendid Home by the neck, intending to teach her a lesson.
The situation escalated to a point that Lin Yifei did not want to see, and she stepped forward, attempting to calm her brother: "Brother! I don't want this dress anymore, please let go of this lady."
