Chapter 805: Chapter 804: In a Hurry to Reincarnate? Worried You Won’t Have a Life to Spend Your Money?
“I’m not exactly unwell, but I really don’t have any energy. I went to Ancient Martial Town and brought back a doctor who could help me with the coldness within my body. He gave me some medicinal bath herbs, and after soaking in it, I felt completely drained.”
“On top of that, exerting myself yesterday took a lot of physical strength. Today I feel uncomfortable all over. Could you go upstairs and fetch the evening gown I need for tonight…”
Wen Xin adjusted the clothes on her body and curled up in the back seat of the car, showing no intention of getting out.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin, whose complexion didn’t look very good, and responded indifferently. She picked up her coat that had been thrown onto the passenger seat and tossed it to Wen Xin.
“Cover yourself with this. I’ll go get your gown, but it may take a bit longer. I will buy two suitable outfits. These flashy clothes don’t quite suit me anymore!”
These words caused the previously listless Wen Xin, who had her eyes closed, to slowly open them and look at her. Though she didn’t speak, her facial expression said it all.
Leaving Wen Xin alone in the car, Chu Yunxuan entered the shopping mall, selected a few decent outfits, and then headed to the Flower House boutique.
Flower House had settled in Beijing’s largest mall half a year ago, and its daily customer traffic was almost equal to that of other high-end brands in a month.
As soon as Chu Yunxuan walked into the store, the clerk recognized her at a glance and enthusiastically approached her.
“Miss Chu, are you here to look at clothes? Our latest winter collection is right here. Please follow me.”
The clerk tried to lead Chu Yunxuan inside, but she did not follow.
“There’s no need. I’m here to pick up Wen Xin’s evening gown. She’s not feeling well, so she hasn’t come.”
Chu Yunxuan glanced at the other customers around and spoke to the clerk in a gentle tone.
“I see. Miss Wen’s gown is already prepared for her. I’ll go get it for you right now.” The clerk turned and went eagerly to fetch Wen Xin’s evening gown for Chu Yunxuan.
As the clerk turned away, she accidentally collided with Jiang Linyan, who was walking toward her. Jiang Linyan let out a delicate cry and without thinking, fell backwards.
The clerk, who had bumped into someone, immediately went to check if Jiang Linyan was injured after seeing her fall.
“I’m so sorry, miss. I was too reckless just now, not noticing you were right behind me, and I bumped into you. I truly apologize!”
The clerk looked at Jiang Linyan, who was sitting on the ground and breaking out in a cold sweat on her forehead. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
Jiang Linyan sat on the ground, looked at the tense clerk, supported her head with one hand, and gave an over-exaggerated performance of being dizzy.
“Oh my, my head is spinning. You bumped into me and all of a sudden, I felt faint…”
After Jiang Linyan finished speaking, the clerk was almost brought to tears by her words. The collision wasn’t intentional, how could she have hurt her head?
Chu Yunxuan, standing aside, clearly saw Jiang Linyan’s action. Initially, she didn’t want to get involved, fearing her impulsive behavior would make matters worse.
But now… it seemed she had no choice but to intervene. This person was overacting without any scruples.
Just as Chu Yunxuan was about to step forward, the store manager hurriedly came out from inside.
When the store manager saw Jiang Linyan lying on the floor, her expression grew even more unsightly, and she quickly went over to crouch beside Jiang Linyan.
“Miss Jiang, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?”
Hearing the store manager’s words, Jiang Linyan sat up abruptly from the ground, looking annoyed at the store manager, “What, is this the kind of service your store offers? Do you even want to continue operating in Beijing?”
Suddenly, Jiang Linyan’s tone underwent a drastic change, from a delicate and injured persona to one with an overbearing aura.
“Miss Jiang, I know you came here today to create trouble on purpose, but we really can’t sell you that dress—it’s a special custom-made piece, not something you can just decide to have.”
So the store manager gently explained to Jiang Linyan, not wanting to offend a young lady of her status, yet… faced with such a troublesome customer, there really was no choice.
“Miss Jiang, please stand up so we can talk this over. We know tonight’s gala is extremely important to you, and the gown we’ve offered you is the highest-grade one available, even higher-end than the one you liked…”
While listening to the store manager’s explanation, Jiang Linyan, who was sitting on the ground, let out a cold snort, “All old foxes, what ghost stories are you trying to sell me here? The dress I want is clearly more upscale than the ones you’ve shown me…”
“Since you claim that dress isn’t as good as the others you’ve shown me, then let her change. I can pay the difference, or even let her pick any dress from Huoluo for free, as long as she’s willing to give up that dress. I’ll cover the bill!”
Watching Jiang Linyan speak with such a show of wealth, Chu Yunxuan sitting to the side let out a disdainful chuckle.
“Does having a bit of money make you lose all sense of direction? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated that you won’t live to spend it? That you have to be so arrogant?”
“Who are you? Is this a place for you to speak?”
Upon hearing Chu Yunxuan’s mocking voice, Jiang Linyan stood up from the ground, marched over to her with a furious momentum, and upon seeing her in clothes without any brand name, sneered scornfully.
“I thought it was someone of substance. Turns out you’re just a country bumpkin. The total cost of your clothes doesn’t even add up to a thousand yuan. How laughable.”
The girls following behind Jiang Linyan walked up next to her and looked Chu Yunxuan up and down with a mocking tone.
“Exactly, where did this pauper come from? What right does she have to be here? Manager, kick this person out!”
Another woman, relying on her good relationship with Jiang Linyan, got overly excited and, seizing the moment, immediately stood up for her.
“Manager, it seems Flower House really doesn’t want to do business anymore, allowing this kind of destitute woman to appear here, really lowers the class of the place. Kick her out quickly and don’t affect our shopping mood!”
The woman’s voice was like that of a sparrow – incessantly attacking Chu Yunxuan and urging the store manager to kick her out.
“Enough, we at Flower House won’t be doing business with you ladies today. If Miss Jiang has the power to make our name known throughout Beijing, we accept that. Ladies, please do as you please!”
The manager couldn’t hold back any longer, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly and indifferently, having entirely lost any trace of deference.
At this point, four men in black emerged from the back resting room and appeared in front of Jiang Linyan, gesturing for her to leave.
