Jiang Yimei frowned, wondering who this unexpected troublemaker was after.

She stopped in her tracks, turned around curiously, and looked behind her.

Upon noticing several women dressed in jewels and flamboyant attire approaching her with angry glares, she asked warily, "What do you want?"

The most glamorous woman in the lead, with her hand outstretched, said imperiously and in an unquestionable tone, "I've taken a liking to this dress, give it to me."

Jiang Yimei hid the clothes behind her back and asked sharply, "On what grounds?"

Yao Yao had already come to the rescue. Now standing beside Jiang Yimei, she stood tall and glared angrily at the spoiled, arrogant woman dressed as a princess, echoing Jiang Yimei's words: "Why should I?"

Two plain-looking girls, not wearing a single designer item, looked like country bumpkins.

This kind of person dares to steal her clothes; they really don't know what's good for them.

With a smirk, the jeweled woman crossed her arms and retorted sarcastically, "You can't afford this price."

Yao Yao retorted sharply, "Let me tell you, no matter how high the price, we can afford it."

The jeweled woman said with confident disdain, "Is that so? Then go to the counter and pay now. If you can afford it, I'll give it to you; otherwise, just give it to me."

"Fine, I'll go!"

To help her best friend get revenge, Yao Yao was willing to go all out, not caring about the consequences.

Although Jiang Yimei was furious, she realized that the woman with the jewels had gone to such lengths to provoke her, so she must know that the dress was expensive and that Yaoyao might really not be able to afford it.

If they can't afford it, they might be severely humiliated.

This is not what she wants to see, and she hopes it won't happen.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is wait and see; further speculation is pointless.

Upon arriving at the counter, Yao Yao immediately asked the staff to settle the bill.

After checking the computer and deducting the discount, the price of this garment came to over 50,000.

The counter staff moved the computer to Yao Yao and replied, "Miss, that's the total."

"Five... more than fifty thousand?"

Yao Yao felt like the sky had fallen.

She recently lent a lot of money to Jiang Yimei and also sent some home, so she doesn't have much left. In total, she only has a little over 30,000 yuan, which is not enough to cover this expense.

Seeing her face darken and her momentum vanish, the jeweled woman curled her lips and asked, "How come you can't pay now? You country bumpkin, you dare to try and steal my clothes."

Mocking and contemptuous, mercilessly humiliating.

Jiang Yimei knew this would happen. Now, she and Yaoyao were like mute people who had swallowed bitter herbs, unable to express their bitterness.

Time is precious, and the jewel-encrusted woman didn't want to waste time with two country bumpkins, so she immediately demanded her clothes from the counter staff: "Give me your clothes!"

The counter staff glanced at Yao Yao's expression and, seeing that she had already given in, handed the gray-blue V-neck dress to the frequent VIP customer—the heiress of the Shengxia Group—Ji Shuxin.

Just as Ji Shuxin was about to receive the elegant dress, an arrogant voice came from the men's formal wear area next to her.

"Who said we can't afford it?"

Ji Shuxin, her companions, and the staff of Qinyuan Dress Store all frowned, wondering who this man who had intercepted them was and why he was getting involved in the matter.

Jiang Yimei and Yao Yao were startled, feeling that the voice was very familiar, as if it were the voice of someone they knew.
