Chapter 1222: Unsuitable Measurements
At this moment, the two also saw her.
Pei Yan’s expression sank and she said disgustedly, “Xia Yingluo? Why are you here?”
Today, she wore a bright red hip dress that outlined her plump and hot figure. She was condescending and imposing. In contrast, Xia Yingluo looked shameful in her student outfit.
However, as soon as Xia Yingluo spoke, she was also imposing. “Why, you can come and yet I can’t?”
She and Pei Yan were enemies due to their cheating man. Although she had long gotten over it and thought it wasn’t worth being sad over a scumbag, this didn’t mean that she had forgiven the bitch that had pried a chip from her wall.
Seeing her attitude, Pei Yan was even more uncomfortable, and couldn’t help but ridicule her. “Ha, is this a place you can afford? People like you who depend on my family’s training camp for your expenses, how could you have money to visit boutiques? Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not, I’ve seen lots of people like you who can’t afford things and yet still come for an eye-opener.”
Xia Yingluo stretched out her two long fingers with a gold card between them and shook it in front of Pei Yan’s eyes. “Open your dog eyes, see what this is? Do you really think you’re the only rich person in this world? Sorry, you’re still lacking in my eyes.”
Her father, brother, maternal uncle and even brother Du Zheng, which one of them wasn’t richer than Pei Yan?
She really didn’t know why a side lady like Pei Yan could be so cocky?
Pei Yan didn’t know what she was thinking, she was only taken aback after seeing the gold card in her hand—how could this cheap girl have a gold card? Was she really here to shop around and buy things?
Then, she thought something was amiss. How could she have so much money?
Pei Yan looked at her with disdain. “Some women just don’t know how to restrain themselves. They feel very glorious for selling their bodies for money and shamelessly show off.” She remembered how during the engagement banquet last time, a man named Wei Lingnan had been very protective of her. Wei Lingnan was so rich, he was probably her sugar daddy.
“Hey! Who are you talking about?” Jin Ling’er, who stood beside Xia Yingluo, was furious.
Pei Yan recognized that this was the girl who had caused the crab legs to fly onto herself in the restaurant last time and was good friends with Xia Yingluo. At that moment, humiliation and anger surged up inside her, and she ridiculed Jin Ling’er. “Birds of a feather flock together. Seeing as how you’re so agitated, could it be that you sell your body too? You can’t even sell it for a good price, just look at your ugly get up!”
Jin Ling’er just returned from the filming crew this morning and was wearing a stain-resistant dark T-shirt and jeans. The items on her whole body weren’t worth a lot of money, and it made Pei Yan look on scornfully.
The anger in Xia Yingluo’s heart was also stirred up. This Pei Yan, it was fine to scold her, but to scold her friend? “On the ability to seduce a man, we obviously can’t compare with you, Ms. Pei.” She sneered at Pei Yan. “Zhao Yixuan is a second-hand good that I don’t even want, yet you treat him as a treasure. Why, I still have that picture of you two on the bed, do you need me to take it out and remind you?”
Pei Yan’s expression changed and she was anxious. “I dare you!”
One of her most unwise moves was in order to agitate Xia Yingluo, she had even revealed her own bed photos. She had thought this girl was weak and hadn’t seen the real world yet and would be sure to cry heartbreakingly, but who knew that she was so strong? She not only didn’t cry but also saved the photo and brought it up time and time again to slap her in the face—the incident at her engagement banquet had made her lose her face and until now, she was still being pointed fingers at behind her back.
Xia Yingluo said, “Why wouldn’t I dare, I might even release it online for everyone to appreciate if I want to.”
“Haha, okay, okay.” Jin Ling’er clapped her hands and laughed. She sang the same tune as her. “Yingluo, your idea is really good. You must share such an interesting photo with everyone, I can’t wait.”
Pei Yan’s voice tightened. “If you do that, I will let my team of lawyers put you behind bars!”
Lawyers? Who was afraid?
Xia Yingluo didn’t care. There might be some people who could make her sit in prison, but it was definitely not Pei Yan. “I have a big backer, just with your abilities you want to send me to jail? Even your stupid brother also won’t do it,” she said.
Pei Yan still wanted to say something, but Gu Jinxiu, who didn’t say anything from beginning to end, suddenly said, “Forget it, Pei Yan, don’t be angry with them. You are the Pei family’s lady, why should you lower yourself to their lowly levels?”
She said this very gently, but the taunting meaning was more than that of Pei Yan’s. She evidently belittled Xia Yingluo’s identity and had said they were lowly compared to Pei Yan. Gu Jinxiu was responsive, even more so than Pei Yan, and she also had a sense of crisis—Pei Yan’s fiance no longer had a relationship with Xia Yingluo, but what about her husband?
She remembered the scene she had seen at the engagement banquet before, where Wei Lingnan had held the shabby Xia Yingluo in his arms like she was a rare treasure. She had known that man for so many years and had admired him since she was a girl, but she had never seen him look at anyone with those eyes. It made Gu Jinxiu have a deep sense of crisis.
After hearing what she said, Pei Yan also reacted and said arrogantly, “Yes, Jinxiu, we shouldn’t argue with sluts. Let’s not affect our shopping mood, didn’t you say you wanted to buy the new dress? Let’s see if there’s still stock.”
Gu Jinxiu smiled and ignored Xia Yingluo and Jin Ling’er. She asked the store assistant, “It’s the A230 in your new handbook of the season. When I asked last week, you said it was not yet available. How about now?”
The assistant who had been watching the show just now regained his senses and said, “That’s the one.”
It was actually the one that Xia Yingluo and Jin Ling’er had liked previously.
Gu Jinxiu said graciously, “Could you bring it here for me to try it on.”
The assistant responded and reached for the dress on the display stand.
Jin Ling’er was upset and grabbed the dress. “We obviously fancied it first!”
The assistant was a little awkward. He said while trying to smooth the situation, “The two of you have yet to decide to buy it…”
“But we didn’t decide not to try it.” Xia Yingluo smiled. She originally didn’t care about buying this dress, but she didn’t want to give up in front of Gu Jinxiu and Pei Yan. “Ms. Gu also said she wanted to try it, not that she wanted to buy it. First come first serve, we should try it on first.”
Gu Jinxiu glared at them lightly.
She was born elegant, with a sense of nobleness, and in her eyes, there was looming aloofness and magnificence. Before Xia Yingluo could do anything, the assistant couldn’t stand it anymore and said to Xia Yingluo with a smile, “Miss, this dress would be too big on you and the measurements are not suitable. Why don’t you try again when the next batch arrives?”
