Chapter 358 Tell the President, She is also a Mermaid! _1
The salesperson was in a difficult position: “I’m really sorry, Miss Xia, doing so would ruin our store’s reputation. As you know, our designers are very proud and they wouldn’t approve of treating customers who have made appointments .”
Xia Yanyan frowned, turning towards Bai Lanwu, pushing her luck: “Auntie, you must have seen me on TV. I’m Xia Yanyan, my friend here is the daughter of Vice President Pan. We don’t intend to steal this dress; we’re just willing to pay a high price for it. Could we persuade you to let us have the dress?”
Pan Huaiyun used her position as the Vice President’s daughter to exert pressure.
Bai Lanwu set her chrysanthemum tea to the side and casually glanced through a magazine in the store, treating the two women as if they were invisible.
Xia Yanyan and Pan Huaiyun: “…”
Ye Xingguang emerged from the dressing room after changing clothes.
She was wearing a white hollow-out bodice dress adorned with sparkling snowflake diamonds. The combination of hollow-out and strapless made her exceptionally glamorous. Standing under the unique lighting in the store, she looked like a fairy.
Bai Lanwu put down the magazine and walked over to her daughter.
Although the salesperson was used to seeing the designer’s extraordinary creations, they couldn’t help but gasp at the sight of Ye Xingguang.
“Miss, this dress suits your temperament perfectly. I believe that you will be the most eye-catching star at any banquet or event. Our designers have never disappointed.”
Ye Xingguang stood in front of the mirror, also thinking the dress looked good: “Mom, what do you think?”
Ye Xingguang suddenly asked again:”Mom, what do you think?”
Bai Lanwu said, “It looks good, my daughter is becoming more and more beautiful.”
Ye Xingguang looked at the sparkling snowflake diamonds on the dress. “Is this dress too expensive?”
Bai Lanwu said, “I’ve already paid for it. Spending money to prevent disasters is a good omen. It should bring your father good luck.”
“Alright, spending money to prevent disasters, I like those words as well. I’ll go and try on the other two dresses.”
The other two dresses also looked good when she tried them on. After the dresses were wrapped by the salesperson, the mother and daughter left with the dresses.
Watching them go, Xia Yanyan and Pan Huaiyun could only stand there helplessly. No matter how much they desired the dress Ye Xingguang held in her hand, it was now out of their reach.
The more Xia Yanyan thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn’t get the man she liked and now even the dress she liked was out of reach!
When she left the mall and parted ways with Pan Huaiyun, Xia Yanyan was so irritated, she dialed the National Treasure Committee immediately. She was determined to get them to hurry the court into scheduling a hearing. If they did not deliver a judgement before the Presidential election, it would be too late!
Afterward, Ye Xingguang accompanied her mother shopping for more clothes and bought ten shirts for Ye Junqing. On the way home she was preoccupied with the same thing. If she didn’t see any changes in the situation before the court hearing, she would go to the President’s house and tell Yanbei that she was also a mermaid!
Although she didn’t want to reveal her identity, it appeared that there were no better options.
Time flew, and five days had passed.
That day was the court hearing following Ye Junqing’s rejection and subsequent lawsuit from the National Treasure.
On the morning of the day, Ye Xingguang had yet to see any practical measures taken by the so-called trouble solver who claimed they could resolve the crisis. Instead, she received a summons from the court and had no choice but to attend the court hearing as the accused.
Unable to hold back her anxiety about the court hearing in the afternoon, Ye Xingguang took the dress she had custom-made at the boutique and went to the President’s house in the morning.
