Chapter 470: Vanity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiao Yue had already treated Tang Zhiyun’s money as her own money. Compared to the million yuan worth of clothes, she wanted Tang Zhiyun to make the company bigger. When the time came, she needn’t fret that she wouldn’t have enough money to buy clothes. Thus, she would definitely agree to Mrs. Tang’s suggestion.

The four of them walked towards the other boutiques.

However, along the way, Mrs. Tang’s expression turned uglier and uglier.

Tang Zhiyun’s brother even muttered at this moment, “Why do the cheapest clothes here cost more than 100,000 yuan? That’s enough money to build a few small houses in our village.”

Mrs. Tang glared at him, feeling vexed.

Xiao Yue was also frustrated. Since they had brought her to such a place to buy clothes, was she just supposed to take a look? It wasn’t as if she was asking for clothes that cost more than a million yuan. What was wrong with buying a set that cost over a hundred thousand yuan?

The more she thought about it, the sulkier her expression became.

Only Tang Zhiyun remained calm and gentle. At this moment, he asked, “Mom, Xiao Yue, are you thirsty? Why don’t you go and sit for a while? I will buy you some water to drink.”

Along the way, Xiao Yue could only look at the clothes that she liked and couldn’t buy. She was already a little impatient and immediately answered, “Sure, Brother Tang, help me buy a cup of milk tea. Auntie Tang and I will sit in front and wait for you.”

Mrs. Tang didn’t say anything.

Tang Zhiyun turned around and went to buy beverages for them.

After Xiao Yue sat down, her eyes were still fixed on the boutiques.

At this moment, Mrs. Tang wanted to go to the toilet, so she asked Xiao Yue, “Xiao Yue, do you want to go to the toilet with me?”

Xiao Yue shook her head. “Auntie Tang, I don’t want to go.”

The toilet sign wasn’t far from here, and Mrs. Tang went there alone.

After Mrs. Tang left, Xiao Yue’s gaze became even more unrestrained and fearless as she placed them on the clothes sold in those specialty boutiques.

As she read, her mind became active. She said to Tang Zhiyun, “I will go to the front for a while. Brother, are you going?”

Wanting to wait for his mother, Tang Zhiyun’s younger brother shook his head. “Sister Xiao Yue, why don’t we go shopping with Mom when she comes out?”

“I’m just going to walk around that boutique. Why don’t you wait for Auntie Tang to come out?”

After saying that, she stood up and walked into the boutique.

Tang Zhiyun’s brother wanted to stop her, but after thinking about it, he didn’t do so since it was right in front.

Xiao Yue entered the boutique, and there happened to be a man and a woman shopping for clothes inside. The man was obviously rich and successful. He sat on the sofa and waited for his female companion. The female companion only had to try on a piece of clothing before asking him, “Young Master Qian, what do you think of this?”

Young Master Qian didn’t even look at the price tag and said to the service staff, “Pack it up.”

After that, the woman would ask Young Master Qian for his opinion every time she tried on a piece. Young Master Qian would say, “Pack it up.”

Xiao Yue had thought that such a heroic man could only be found in novels. This was the first time she had encountered one in real life, and she was stunned.

However, her heart started to ache.

‘That woman isn’t even as beautiful as me. On what basis can she find such a rich boyfriend?’

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too piercing, that Young Master Qian suddenly tilted his head and glanced at her.

Xiao Yue blushed.

At this moment, Young Master Qian’s female companion suddenly asked the shop assistants unhappily, “This is an internationally famous clothing boutique. How can any Tom, Dick, and Harry be allowed in your shop?”

The salespeople immediately understood what she meant. One of them walked to Xiao Yue’s side and sized her up before saying politely, “Miss, if you’re not buying clothes, please don’t block the customers’ view.”

Feeling insulted, Xiao Yue was furious and vexed. She raised her chin and asked in displeasure, “Aren’t you guys selling clothes here? I’m a customer. Can’t I come here to buy clothes?”

The shop assistant sized her up and asked, “Any one of our items here costs more than 100,000 yuan. Can you afford it?”

At this moment, Young Master Qian’s female companion walked over.

She also sized up Xiao Yue and deliberately said, “Hey, shop assistant, don’t look down on someone who only wears clothes that cost a few hundred yuan. Maybe this person is deliberately dressed like this to experience the suffering of the world.”

The shop assistant was disdainful in her heart and immediately played along with the woman. “Is that so? Then I was entertaining angels unawares. Miss, which piece do you like? I’ll help you take it down and let you try it on immediately.”

“I…”

The woman: “Miss, since you can afford the clothes here, try them on. Otherwise, the shop assistants will look down on you.”

Listening to the two of them singing the same tune, Xiao Yue’s face turned red and she felt like she was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off. She thought to herself, ‘Why isn’t Brother Tang here yet? If I don’t buy a piece of clothing here today, how can I face anyone in the future?’

At this moment, the woman pulled Xiao Yue towards a rack.

Xiao Yue wanted to retract her hand.

The woman said, “I think you look good too, but your clothes are too ugly. How about this? I’ll help you choose a set. I guarantee that you’ll instantly transform from an ugly duckling to a swan.”

Xiao Yue’s face turned green with anger. She wanted to say that she didn’t need her to help her choose.

The woman spoke first. “Other than the more expensive clothes under Blazing Glory, the clothes in all the boutiques on this floor have very ordinary price tags. Can’t you afford them?”

She then pulled Xiao Yue to a rack.

She deliberately pointed at a set of clothes that added up to more than 200,000 yuan and said to the shop assistant, “Let this lady try this on.”

“I…”

Xiao Yue wanted to push the woman away and leave, but when she felt Young Master Qian sizing her up, she inexplicably stopped moving.

The shop assistant was also quick to take off that set of clothes and handed it to Xiao Yue.

“Miss, the fitting room is over there. Please.”

Xiao Yue was in a difficult position now. In the end, she hardened her heart and carried the clothes to the fitting room.

In the fitting room, she called Tang Zhiyun quickly.

The moment Tang Zhiyun picked it up, she said anxiously, “Brother Tang, where are you? Come to the CF boutique quickly.”

Tang Zhiyun, who was waiting for the hot beverage, said to her, “I probably need to wait for a few more minutes. What is it?”

Xiao Yue couldn’t bring herself to describe her plight. She suddenly felt aggrieved and wondered why she had fallen for such a poor lad. Her tone turned awful. “Come quickly anyway.”

With that, she hung up.

Perhaps because she had been in the fitting room for too long, she heard a knock on the door.

Xiao Yue made up her mind and thought that Auntie Tang must have more than 200,000 yuan on her. At most, she would call Mrs. Tang later and ask her to come over.

Only then did she put on the outfit and walk out.

When Xiao Yue put on this outfit, she felt completely different. Especially after she went out, she happened to meet Young Master Qian’s stunned gaze and her vanity instantly inflated.

At this moment, Young Master Qian’s female companion walked over with a glass of water. She said, “Indeed, clothes make the man. It’s not bad, but it seems like there’s something missing.”

Xiao Yue looked at her suspiciously.

After thinking for a while, the female companion handed the glass to Xiao Yue and said, “Hold this for me. I’ll help you look for it.”

Xiao Yue didn’t want to take it. A woman’s sixth sense told her that this person in front of her didn’t have good intentions.

At this moment, the female companion pushed the glass of water towards her. Xiao Yue was shocked and worried that the water would splash on her clothes, so she blocked it with her hand. This action caused the water to splash on her and the woman.

The shop assistant at the side exclaimed, “Miss Lily is wearing the clothes from this boutique. This set costs 310,000 yuan, and your set costs 200,000 yuan. The customers must pay for it if it gets wet.”

The woman looked troubled. “But I don’t think I like this set of clothes very much.”

The shop assistant looked at Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue knew that the woman had done this on purpose. Her face immediately turned red and she said, “You pushed the water towards me yourself. I just reacted instinctively.”

“Why? Are you trying to cheat?”

“I…”

At this moment, Young Master Qian stood up and walked over. He glanced at the water stains on Lily’s clothes, then at Xiao Yue. He took out his card and said to the shop assistant, “I’ll help this lady buy these two sets.”

Xiao Yue looked at him in disbelief.

Lily couldn’t take it anymore. “Young Master Qian, I’m your female companion. How can you buy clothes for other women?”

Young Master Qian’s gaze turned displeased. “Do I need to discuss with you who I buy clothes for?”

“I’m not…”

“That’s enough.” Young Master Qian said to the shop assistant, “I’ll buy hers too. That’s it for today.”

These words were obviously directed at Lily, who turned pale and glared at Xiao Yue.

However, Xiao Yue suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of accomplishment. She felt that she was really charming to actually make this rich young master chase away his female companion for her.

The more she thought about it, the more smug she felt. On the surface, however, she deliberately lowered her head slightly, looking at a loss.

Lily obviously didn’t dare to offend Young Master Qian. She took the clothes that the shop assistant had wrapped up and left.

The shop assistant also handed the set of clothes that Lily had changed out of to Xiao Yue (she was still wearing the other set).

Xiao Yue didn’t take it. Blushing, she said, “Young… Young Master Qian, I can’t accept it.”

“It’s okay. My female companion deliberately made things difficult for you. It’s only right that I apologize on her behalf.”

Feeling that the man in front of her was very responsible, Xiao Yue looked up at him.

She immediately met his gentle eyes.

Xiao Yue felt her heart beating uncontrollably.

Young Master Qian looked at her face and said with a smile, “If you feel bad, why don’t you treat me to coffee?”

He then took out his name card. “This is my name card.”

Just then, Tang Zhiyun’s voice came from the door. “Xiao Yue, what happened when you called me?”

Hearing Tang Zhiyun’s voice, Xiao Yue immediately took Young Master Qian’s name card.

Tang Zhiyun walked in as he spoke.

Seeing Tang Zhiyun walking to Xiao Yue’s side, Young Master Qian narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who is this?”
