Capítulo 1436: Chapter 1429: Narrow Encounter Between Enemies (First Update)

Yipin Pavilion is a fairly comprehensive specialty store in Wangfujing Department Store.

They have a variety of high, medium, and low-end brands, even hundreds of Prada items.

Prices at the lower end are also several thousand yuan for some clothes.

Most importantly, you can find everything here, from men’s and women’s formal wear to casual wear and intimate apparel.

In other words, if you’re not very picky, you can buy a whole set of clothes here and save a trip around the mall.

Shi Lan chose this place because Yipin Pavilion is one of the few stores in the department store that sells clothes priced at several thousand yuan.

For someone like her, a worker, even in an international city like Yanjing, her monthly salary is barely close to ten thousand.

Don’t be fooled by ten thousand seeming like a lot, just one high-end piece of clothing here is already this price.

“Sister Laan, are you buying a gown for a banquet event?”

Walking into the store, Lin Tian glanced around and couldn’t help but ask Shi Lan.

Beside him, a salesperson enthusiastically began to attend them.

“Yes! I need to attend a banquet tonight, and you can be my plus-one, okay?”

Shi Lan smiled charmingly, turned back, and winked, speaking with a laugh.

“Just consider me someone tagging along for a meal!”

Lin Tian shrugged with a light laugh.

“Sure! It’s a university classmate’s banquet, feel free!”

Shi Lan nodded with a smile and called out, “Come and help me look at the clothes!”

Looking at the various styles and colors of gowns in the store, Shi Lan was dazzled, her beautiful eyes filled with delight.

Every woman loves beautiful clothes!

“Sister Laan, are you looking for a gown dress?”

Lin Tian followed her and casually asked.

He didn’t understand clothes at all and had no clue what to buy; for him, comfort was key.

“Forget the gown dress, unless it’s for a banquet, I might need to discuss some business, so it can’t be too much like an evening dress—slightly formal and casual!”

Shi Lan smiled slightly, shaking her head, and finally stopped in front of a white casual suit, which was a complete set, even with matching white high heels.

“How about this one?”

Picking up the clothes, Shi Lan asked Lin Tian with delight.

“Sister Laan, you should try it on!”

Lin Tian touched his nose, a bit embarrassed.

His sense of aesthetics was not something to boast about, and he really didn’t know what looked good.

“Then I’ll try on a few more sets!”

Shi Lan nodded and selected a few more sets, saying, “Lin Tian, we also need to buy you a set, please wait a second. Sister Laan will help you choose later…”

With that, Shi Lan took several sets of clothes and went into the fitting room.

A few minutes later, Shi Lan walked out wearing a pure white casual suit.

Lin Tian looked up, and his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.

Shi Lan wasn’t tall, but her body proportions were excellent, with a straight chest, a curvaceous waist, and attractive hips, making her more captivating.

Plus, her delicate face and fair skin made the pure white casual outfit look even more fitting!

“Dear lady, you look absolutely beautiful in this outfit! Especially your unique aura, which is highlighted even more!”

The enthusiastic salesperson couldn’t help but compliment Shi Lan.

Lin Tian nodded in agreement, “Sister Laan, you look truly beautiful in this outfit!”

Every woman loves to hear compliments!

Hearing Lin Tian and the salesperson’s words, Shi Lan was full of delight, basking in the praise.

She stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself from different angles, and then said, “I’ll try other styles and colors!”

The store’s salesperson was very patient and enthusiastic, personally opening the fitting room door for Shi Lan, providing exceptional service.

Next.

Shi Lan tried on several other styles and colors.

But no matter the style, everything looked great on her.

Shi Lan herself was also caught in a dilemma.

“Lin Tian, which color do you think I should choose?”

After hesitating for a long time, Shi Lan still couldn’t decide and finally asked Lin Tian.

“Sister Laan, go with the white one!”

Lin Tian had been watching Shi Lan’s indecision; he was also puzzled by her dilemma. He couldn’t understand why women make shopping so complicated, so he just chose white.

After all, he felt she looked good in all the other styles and colors.

“Then I’ll go with the white one!”

Shi Lan finally made up her mind and turned to the salesperson: “How much for the whole set? Is there any discount?”

“Miss, since it’s back-to-school season, our Yipin Pavilion is offering a ten percent discount!”

Seeing Shi Lan deciding to buy, the salesperson’s face was full of joy, her smile even more radiant, and her attitude became more respectful. She quickly replied, “Originally, our normal price is one hundred thousand, but with the ten percent discount, it’s just ninety thousand! Miss, should I pack it up for you now? Would your boyfriend also like a set? A matching couple’s outfit is always perfect!”

Ninety… ninety thousand?

Shi Lan’s eyes widened; she almost dropped the clothes she was holding.

“Um… last time I was here, wasn’t the highest price in this section only thirty-five hundred?”

With a face full of embarrassment, Shi Lan awkwardly said, “Ninety thousand is too expensive! Where are your thirty-five hundred options?”

Upon hearing this, the salesperson’s face turned cold, her eyes filled with mocking disdain.

“Miss, thirty-five hundred? You’re living in the last century! That was clearance pricing, long gone. The minimum price in our store starts at fifty thousand!”

The salesperson looked at Shi Lan with contempt, carefully removing the clothes from her hands, dusting them off as if Shi Lan had dirtied them, rearranging them neatly, and then said, “Street beggars trying to pretend to be rich people—can’t pretend anyways! So vain!”

Hearing this, Shi Lan trembled with anger; her face was both ashamed and furious.

But hearing the lowest price was fifty thousand, she drooped her head in frustration.

Others in the store turned to look, glanced at Shi Lan, then turned away in scorn.

Lin Tian furrowed his brow, ready to step forward.

But at this moment, two people walked in, a man and a woman, the woman was somewhat short and chubby, while the man was very thin, looking mismatched.

However.

The two were dressed brightly, their outfits clearly not simple.

Especially the woman’s handbag, the Hermès logo blinding many in the room, especially the female customers, who looked on with envy.

“Shi Lan, is that you! You’re here to buy clothes too?”

Upon walking in, the first thing the chubby woman did was exclaim upon seeing Shi Lan: “Are you also preparing for the Zhang Gai Vineyard opening party? I didn’t expect us to have similar tastes in clothes!”

Though her words were warm and smiling, the woman’s eyes held deep-seated jealousy when looking at Shi Lan.

Simply because Shi Lan was far too beautiful!

Especially during university, many guys compared her to Shi Lan to highlight Shi Lan’s beauty.

This matter had always been a chip on her shoulder, festering within her.

She had always wanted to give Shi Lan a good lesson to relieve her grudge.

Unexpectedly, fate brought them together again here.

“Gao Xiaoxiao!”

Seeing the chubby woman, Shi Lan was initially stunned, then recognized her, an old college classmate. So she smiled, nodding: “Going to a party, can’t be too casual, but I can’t find any styles I like here!”

“You’re buying clothes here; it seems you’re doing well!”

Gao Xiaoxiao frowned, feeling even more dissatisfied.

If Shi Lan was doing as well as her, she’d really be reduced to a clown.

But then, the salesperson who had just replaced the clothes rolled her eyes, sarcastically adding, “Hmph! Nothing she liked! She just can’t afford it, yet she wants to buy clothes costing several thousand yuan here!”

Hearing this, Gao Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. She then scrutinized Shi Lan, her expression turning into a mocking smirk.
