"I don't want it." Su Li said bluntly. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFɪre.net
Chu Lianxin's heavily made-up face instantly fell, and she said sharply, "Why don't you want it? This is a three-thousand-yuan dress!"
Chen Xiang also frowned, as if he was instructing Su Li, "Xiao Li, even though you aren't really the Chu Family's daughter, you've at least stayed with the Chu Family for eighteen years. You can't embarrass the Chu Family at your final graduation party, can you?"
"There's no need to be embarrassed, just accept the dress." Chen Xiang decisively concluded.
Su Li glanced at Chu Lianxin, and that glance was full of sympathy.
Although Chu Lianxin didn't understand Su Li's expression, she felt a bit ashamed and angry, "Sister, are you sure you don't want it? If you don't, I'll return it, and you'll be humiliated by wearing a school uniform then!"
"Humiliated?" Su Li said meaningfully, "Lianxin, humiliated, is it? Didn't Chen Xiang tell you that in high society, it's always 'buy only, no returns'?"
Chu Lianxin froze all over!
Is there such a rule?
Chu Lianxin couldn't help but look at Chen Xiang.
Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, recalling, "I'm not clear about the rules in the socialite circles, there should, should be, right?"
"Lianxin, don't misunderstand, I just forgot to tell you this rule..." Chen Xiang was so anxious that his face turned red. How dare Su Li sow discord now!
Chu Lianxin's face instantly turned green. She glared at Chen Xiang unhappily and raised her voice at Su Li,
"Are you... are you calling me poor and unsophisticated?"
The customers around the mall couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
Chu Lianxin's cheeks turned red, feeling as if all those gazes were saying she was unsophisticated, and returning to the Chu Family didn't change her rustic and poor nature!
She was just a country bumpkin!
Chu Lianxin was so angry that she wanted to take it out on Chen Xiang.
Suddenly, she heard Su Li lightly say, "I was just joking."
Joking? There's no such rule.
Was Su Li deliberately trying to make her fight with Chen Xiang?!
Chu Lianxin angrily pushed Chen Xiang's waist and pouted, "Brother Xiang, look at her..."
Chen Xiang was about to speak when Su Li lightly brushed her hair and said first, "Chen Xiang, sister, both of you should keep a low profile. Everyone in Jiang City only knows about the engagement between Chu Li and Chen Xiang. Brother Xiang, if you show up with a girl no one knows, be careful it reaches your parents' ears..."
By then, people around them had already started discussing:
"Isn't that Chen Xiang? How come a woman is holding his hand?"
"Could it be that he's cheating with a mistress and got caught by the Chu Family's eldest daughter Chu Li? Look at that bumpkin girl. Indeed, a wife is no match for a concubine, and a concubine is no match for a secret lover!"
A bunch of people covered their mouths and pointed, their looks of disdain growing more numerous.
Chu Lianxin was so angry she almost screamed; she was the Chu Family's eldest daughter, she was the true socialite!
Chen Xiang's face instantly flushed, "Xiao Li, how can you spread such rumors? I know you're angry that I'm with Lianxin, but you can't do this to us..."
Chen Xiang sighed, looking at Su Li with gentle eyes like he was looking at a younger sister, "Since we bumped into each other, let's go shopping for clothes together."
Chu Lianxin's eyes shifted, and she immediately grabbed Su Li's arm, pulling her along intimately.
As they walked in, Chu Lianxin first threw the dress that was too small last time at the sales associate, angrily saying, "This is the dress you recommended! I don't want a refund even if I have money. But I want to buy a second one, give me a discount."
When the sales associate saw it was Chu Lianxin, their cheek twitched slightly, and a hint of disdain appeared in their eyes.
"Miss, when you bought this dress a week ago, I already told you that you couldn't fit a size M, only size L..."
