Chapter 517 Scumbag_1
Lily Howard greeted with a smile and a sincere tone, so it was somewhat difficult for Purple Summers to refuse.
After giving it some thought, she didn’t rashly agree but instead called Alexander Summers to ask for his opinion.
On the phone, Alexander’s tone was quite calm as he said, “It’s not a very formal occasion. If you want to have fun, you can come over that day.”
His tone made it seem as if it was not an engagement party, but merely an ordinary get-together.
Purple thought to herself, since both the bride-to-be and the groom-to-be seem to not care… may she also not care then?
She got into Lily’s car and noticed Sarah was there too. Sarah looked at her with eyes as watchful as… a lioness guarding her food, except this lioness seemed a bit naive.
Lily sat in the driver’s seat from the other side, Sarah’s face immediately turned shy and sweet, pouting her lips asking for a kiss.
Lily gave a peck on Sarah’s lips and she was overjoyed.
It was her first time playing the third wheel, and it felt quite fresh…
They went to a luxury boutique for wedding dresses.
Purple had to admit, she was a bit curious… curious about what Lily would look like in a bridal gown.
In her mind, for some reason, she pictured a short-haired woman in a wedding dress, sitting boldly with her legs spread wide open, pinching a cigarette between her fingers, puffing away recklessly and unrestrained.
Purple broke out in goosebumps.
When she looked up again, she saw Lily had come out of the dressing room in a silver-white suit, looking distinguished and graceful, handsome and dashing.
Purple let out a sigh of relief, indeed, this style of dress suited her better.
Sarah’s eyes were already sparkling with stars, filled with nearly sickening love. She threw herself at Lily and passionately kissed, oblivious of the surrounding staff, and Purple Summers as well.
Purple comforted herself: Foreigners are like that, a bit more passionate and unrestrained, it’s normal…
Lily picked out some clothes and asked the staff to recommend suitable bridesmaid dresses for Sarah and Purple to try on.
By this time, the staff looked at Lily with a tinge of barely noticeable contempt, but Lily didn’t notice it.
Purple thought: The staff must think Lily is a scumbag. As the groom-to-be who’s engaged, yet he gets too close to his own bridesmaids…
The staff brought out two sets of pink strapless tulle dresses.
Bridesmaid dresses are usually pink, but this shade of pink was slightly too bright. Once pink is too bright, it tends to look tacky.
Lily pointed to a set of white dresses in the luxury showcase and said, “That one looks good, bring two size S to try.”
The staff reminded her, “This is white, it will clash with the bride’s white dress.”
Lily waved her hand dismissively, “Don’t worry about the bride.”
The corner of the staff’s mouth twitched, and they despised Lily even more.
— How could she say not to worry about the bride! Such a jerk!
Despite the contempt, business is business. The staff meticulously took out two white dresses, and Purple and Sarah went to the changing rooms to try them on.
As soon as Purple entered the changing room, her phone rang.
She answered the call, and Alexander’s tone was quite displeased, asking her why she hadn’t come home after school.
“Huh? Didn’t I tell you?” Purple was surprised, “I’m with Lily and Sarah, picking out bridesmaid dresses.”
After she finished speaking, she remembered first, she indeed hadn’t mentioned it. She only said she was going to be a bridesmaid but didn’t bring up the matter of the dress.
“Stay away from those two in the future!” Alexander said irritably, “I am coming to pick you up now!”
The call was hung up, and Purple was bewildered.
He was the one who wanted her to meet Lily, and he was the one telling her to stay away from Lily… Was he crazy?
Not wanting to dwell on it, she put her phone back in her bag, dressed up and looked at herself in the mirror.
She had to say, Lily had great taste. Perhaps because she was a woman, her aesthetic was intricate, and she knew better what type of clothes could highlight a woman’s beauty.
This white dress was elegant and noble, the skirt rippled like water, with a layer of hollowed lace roses on the surface, casting a faint and glossy pearlescence.
Purple blushed slightly in the mirror, feeling her own vanity swell.
She came out of the changing room in the dress and saw neither Sarah nor Lily, which puzzled her. Just as she was about to knock on the neighboring dressing room to ask, she heard strange noises coming from inside…
