Qi Yan thought that she was here to watch the show. There was a trace of disdain in her eyes as she sneered. “What does it have to do with you?”
Meng Chuyuan was no longer surprised by Qi Yan’s attitude. She raised her eyes slightly and quietly looked at the shop assistant beside her.
The shop assistant explained softly, “This lady said that the quality of that new knitted sweater is not good. How can there be a problem with the quality of our products…”
Before the shop assistant could finish speaking, Qi Yan suddenly threw the clothes in her direction.
The shop assistant subconsciously reached out to catch the clothes.
Qi Yan crossed her arms and said in a provocative tone, “There’s no problem, right? Then let me see you wear it.”
“This…” The shop assistant looked embarrassed.
Qi Yan had a good figure and usually wore average sizes. On the other hand, the shop assistant had a big frame and was slightly fat. How could she fit in such a small size?
There were many customers coming and going in the shop. It was obvious that Qi Yan did this on purpose.
Seeing that she bit her lip and did not speak, the coldness on Qi Yan’s lips gradually deepened. “You have no evidence. If you don’t wear it, how can everyone believe that there’s nothing wrong with the quality of this dress?”
Just as everyone was about to watch the commotion, Meng Chuyuan took the clothes from the shop assistant and looked up at Qi Yan. She said casually, “If there’s no problem with this dress later, I hope Sister Qi Yan can pay the price.”
Qi Yan’s expression froze. She tilted her head and looked at Meng Chuyuan. She asked coldly, “What do you mean?”
When recording the variety show, Meng Chuyuan liked to undermine her. She did not expect her to be so difficult to deal with in private.
“Take it literally.” Meng Chuyuan took the knitted shirt in her hand and went to the cloakroom.
Not long after, the door of the cloakroom opened from the inside. Meng Chuyuan put on the dress that Qi Yan had despised just now and walked out generously.
The “street goods” described by Qi Yan looked especially good on Meng Chuyuan.
The other shop assistants caught a glimpse of Meng Chuyuan wearing this ultra-advanced knitted sweater. They did not expect the effect to be quite good. It was even more visually captivating than when the models wore it during the show.
Due to the off-shoulder style of the clothes, most of Meng Chuyuan’s shoulders were exposed. The collar was designed with lotus flowers, and half of the waist was pieced together. The interface was the piece of fabric that Qi Yan had despised just now.
A few shop assistants were discussing silently. “Sister Meng looks quite good in this dress.”
“Qi Yan also wore it just now… She didn’t have the same result as Sister Meng. Then, she blamed the quality of our clothes.”
“This woman is really shameless.”
…
Qi Yan’s expression was stiff. She clenched her fists and pursed her lips tightly. Her cold gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan.
At this moment, Qi Yan saw that Meng Chuyuan had put on high-class clothes, but she had become the joke of the entire shop.
After Meng Chuyuan changed out of her clothes, Qi Yan gritted her teeth and paid in front of everyone.
“Sister Qi Yan, your clothes.”
Meng Chuyuan handed the packed knitted shirt to her, but Qi Yan did not take it. She even said sarcastically, “The clothes fit you so well. You can keep it for yourself.”
“Thank you for footing the bill for me, Sister Qi Yan.”

Lu Qingye got off the plane at eight o’clock in the evening. It was already nine o’clock when he returned to the Lu residence.
He came back very suddenly without informing anyone, so he took a taxi back from the airport.
When the butler heard movement outside the door, he subconsciously walked out. The light at night was not that good. From afar, he saw a tall figure standing at the door. His luggage had just been unloaded from the car.
When he got closer, the butler could see the man’s face clearly.
“Young Master.” The butler walked forward excitedly and took the initiative to pull Lu Qingye’s luggage over. “Why didn’t you inform me that you were coming back so that I could send someone to pick you up?”
Lu Qingye casually brushed him off. “I was so busy that I forgot.”
Along the way, the courtyard was quiet, and there was no noise in the brightly lit villa.
Although the house was usually quiet, it was not as quiet as today. Lu Qingye asked the butler beside him, “Uncle Chen, is no one home?”
The housekeeper explained one by one, “Madam has gone on a long trip. Second Young Master’s work hasn’t ended yet. Third Miss won’t be coming back this weekend. Eldest Young Madam went out in the afternoon and hasn’t returned yet.”
After Lu Qingye entered the house, he changed his shoes and took off his coat. His gaze fell on the clock on the wall and he suddenly frowned. “She went out at noon and hasn’t returned yet? Did she say where she went?”
