That's just how people are, changing their sails with the wind; however, that is also a survival rule. Who can say otherwise in a world where the strong prey upon the weak?
Lin Yifei didn't see it that way. She understood the shopkeeper's predicament, so she didn't blame the shopkeeper for deceiving her.
After apologizing, Lin Yifan chose to keep the peace and went ahead to purchase the dress.
When Lin Yifei learned that this limited-edition dress cost nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, she was resistant; she had never worn such an expensive dress before and didn't really want to wear one so pricey.
However, Lin Yifan insisted on buying it for her, and she had no say in the matter.
"Brother! Why are you buying such an expensive dress for me? I wouldn't even dare to wear it." Lin Yifei asked.
"Silly girl, what's there to dare not? As long as you're comfortable and beautiful in it, just wear it boldly! If it wears out, your brother will buy you another one. If that's still not enough, your brother will buy the entire Xue Lanfu company and tailor clothes just for you," Lin Yifan said generously.
Hearing these words, to be honest, Lin Yifei was very happy; she hadn't expected her brother to care for her so much, and that moved her.
On the other side, the employees of Jinxiu Home and the surrounding crowd were also shocked to hear Lin Yifan's words; to buy the entire Xue Lanfu company, one would need to have tremendous wealth to do so!
"Why haven't I met a brother like that, a man like that, a husband like that?"
"So domineering, simply too handsome!"
"It's a pity he's already taken. Otherwise, I would definitely make a move," lamented the women who either looked glamorous or thought highly of their own appearance, feeling very disappointed.
...
Hearing these idle talks and seeing these envious glances made Lin Yifei and Zhou Jiajia unconsciously proud.
Because he was their brother, their man.
While handling the payment, Lin Yifan placed the ruby necklace he held in his hands around Lin Yifei's neck, then took a step back and watched her with his chin resting on his hand.
After contemplating for a moment, he spoke in praise, "Hmm! Not bad! This floral print dress paired with the ruby necklace is simply a perfect match, stunningly beautiful!"
"Really?" Lin Yifei's face flushed with happiness, and she was very moved in her heart.
All of this was given to her by her brother; without him, it would be nearly impossible for her to even touch these valuable things.
Therefore, she was very touched.
"Yes, really!" Lin Yifan affirmed.
The next moment, Lin Yifei's eyes brimmed with tears, and she threw herself into her brother's embrace, expressing gratitude, "Brother! Thank you! Thank you for being so good to me! Thank you for everything you've done for me!"
"Silly girl, we're family, what's there to thank for?" Lin Yifan said soothingly as he caressed Lin Yifei's head.
Even though he said that, Lin Yifei was still very moved.
It took a while for her to stop her choking sobs and leave the warmth of her brother's embrace.
Feeling guilty, she turned to Zhou Jiajia and said, "Sisters-in-law, I'm sorry, just now I..."
"It's okay! Don't mention it! We all understand, and we don't blame you," Zhou Jiajia and the others comforted her.
This was family love, not romantic love, so there was nothing to blame.
"Thank you for your forgiveness!" Lin Yifei was very happy.
She knew that her actions were somewhat improper, but she just wanted to hug her brother who did everything for her as a way to express her gratitude.
"Silly girl, there's no need to be that formal," Zhou Jiajia and the others were speechless, amused by Lin Yifei's politeness.
After getting the ticket stub, Lin Yifan led Zhou Jiajia and the others away from the Splendid House.
At this moment, the entire staff of the Splendid House saw them to the door, bowing as a group to see them off: "Sir, miss, please take care. We hope to see you again soon."
Lin Yifan paid no attention to them, continuing to leave with laughter and chatter alongside Zhou Jiajia and the rest.
Only after Lin Yifan and his group had left, did the staff of the Splendid House let out a deep sigh of relief.
They had been incredibly nervous just now, fearing they might do something to incur Lin Yifan's scolding or punishment. Thankfully, everything had gone smoothly, otherwise, they would have been done for.
"Who is that guy anyway? Why have I never seen him before?" the owner of the Splendid House wondered, deeply confused.
"Maybe he's a new overlord. Capital City is going to be in chaos. The thirteen young masters of the city might all fall at his hand," other female employees of the Splendid House said dreamily, staring off into the distance.
The appearance of Lin Yifan shattered their understanding; this man, unafraid of the Capital City's forces, was exceptional and not an ordinary character. He might have a significant background.
The thirteen young masters of the Capital City would undoubtedly suffer in his hands.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Tian Qiu shopping district, Wei Chengxue took a car home.
She wanted to report today's events to her family, to have them make a decision; if her family found out that Lin Yifan was not the same young man who had publicly humiliated the Tian Family last night, then she would not compensate the ten billion, and furthermore, she would send someone after Lin Yifan, the bastard, to kill him.
Song Baoshi, who had been severely injured, planned to do the same; he had to learn more about Lin Yifan before deciding whether or not to pay the fifty billion.
Upon returning home and seeing his condition, the Song Family was all shocked and then flew into a rage, asking, "Baoshi! Who did this to you?"
"It was... It was a young man over one point eight meters tall, possessing super martial arts," Song Baoshi replied.
"Possessing super martial arts?"
Hearing those words, the Song Family's anger subsided abruptly, turning into a gravity.
Those with such martial arts are either outstanding talents or disciples of great Sects.
Only these two types of individuals are likely to have access to super martial arts.
And those two types of people, they were not easy to deal with, for they might have powerful individuals backing them.
At that moment, they couldn't help but think of the disciple from Medicinal Saint Valley who had made a spectacle of himself on Dragon Walk Street the night before.
"Could it be him?"
To clear up their confusion, they brought out the photos they had obtained the night before and showed them to Song Baoshi for identification.
Upon seeing the photo, Song Baoshi recognized at a glance the person in the picture; it was the same young man who had beaten and extorted him.
"It's him! It's definitely him!" Song Baoshi answered, then inquired of his family, "He couldn't be the same man who made the Tian Family lose face on Dragon Walk Street last night, could he?"
"It's indeed him!" came the mournful reply from the Song Family members.
Song Baoshi fell apart. The last thing he wanted to hear was this outcome; it meant that he had to bear the physical pain and injury for nothing and suffer a loss of fifty billion for nothing.
"Baoshi! Why on earth did you provoke him for no reason? Sigh!" the Song Family members sighed and inquired.
In such a situation, they were helpless and could only endure this humiliation.
Because Lin Yifan held the Medicine Saint Order, which meant he was a direct disciple of the Medicine Saint, with an untouchable status, the Song Family truly didn't dare to provoke him.
"I didn't know it was him. I thought he was just a wealthy young master from an ordinary family, so I stood up for Wei Chengxue, but I had no idea... Sigh!"
