Chapter 62 Slap in the Face: The Fake Heiress's Identity Exposed - Slovey
[Did you hear that? The sales clerk just said that what Song Ying was wearing was not for sale, which obviously proves that she's wearing a fake!]
[But why does the other party seem to treat Song Ying with more respect? Xu Lanyan wanted to see the manager but was blocked by the staff, but when Song Ying wanted to see him, the other party immediately made a phone call. Logically and emotionally, this doesn't seem right.]
[By the way, didn't you guys think Xu Lanyan's reaction was a bit strange when the shop assistant asked for her ID earlier? It was like she was deliberately refusing to give it to her.]
[Agreed! Zhao Qingluo is right. You don't need to carry your original passport with you, but you must have photocopies or photos of the passport's first page and visa page; otherwise, you'll find it extremely difficult to move around abroad.]
[...Is it just my imagination? I have a feeling Xu Lanyan might be in trouble?]
As it turns out, this was not just netizens' misconception.
When Xu Lanyan saw the shop assistant's attitude towards Song Ying, she had a bad feeling.
Could it be that what Song Ying is wearing is indeed genuine?
Although the "Shadows Across the River" item is not for sale, given Qin Shu's status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to insist on buying it for Song Ying...
Xu Lanyan began to secretly regret stepping into this place.
But it was too late.
The store manager arrived quickly and, upon seeing Song Ying, excitedly gave her a big hug.
"Oh! My beautiful little angel, it's been so long!"
"Long time no see, Salia."
"It's been over a year, hasn't it? We really miss you! Are you free tonight? Let's go have some fun!"
"No need for happiness. I've come here to ask you for a favor."
"What is it? Tell me."
"I need to check the order records, could you please retrieve them for me?"
"OK, no problem at all."
As she said this, Salia came to the control panel herself. "Darling, which gentleman or lady's order record would you like to check?"
"Ms. Xu Lanyan is from the capital of China. Her identification number is..."
Halfway through her sentence, Song Ying gently waved her small fan and lazily looked at Xu Lanyan, "By the way, Miss Xu, you can go over and enter your ID number now."
Xu Lanyan didn't move, biting her lower lip as she looked at Song Ying.
Song Ying stopped waving her fan, slightly surprised.
"What, Miss Xu, you don't even remember your own ID number? Your forgetfulness is truly extraordinary."
Xu Lanyan gave a cold laugh.
"If I remember correctly, the clerk just said that unless you have the original ID, you can't check the customer records. How come you can check them now? Is SLOVEY's store rule actually set according to the person? If that's the case, how dare they claim to be cutting-edge original high-end design? It seems I really misjudged them."
Song Ying remained calm: "Miss Xu, there's no need to rush. SLOVEY's rules are not up to you to decide."
"So you're the one who gets to call the shots?"
"If you put it that way... it's not impossible."
After saying this, Song Ying stopped arguing with Xu Lanyan.
He looked directly at Salia and said, "Since Miss Xu is unavailable, could you please check the flow of goods at Yishan Guanlan and see if Miss Xu's name is among the customers?"
Xu Lanyan clenched her fists tightly at her sides.
His chest heaved as his breathing became increasingly rapid.
The results came out quickly.
“Darling, this set is limited to ten pieces, and Ms. Xu’s name is not among the buyers.”
"Salia, you'd better be careful. Miss Xu is a regular customer of ours. Don't let any misunderstandings cause trouble."
"No, Ying. Of these ten people, only one client is from China, but her surname is Li, and she is a fifty-year-old lady."
"I see..." Song Ying drawled out her words, looking at Xu Lanyan, "How does Miss Xu explain this?"
"I was busy with work and made a mistake in my haste. The item I'm wearing was bought by a friend, so my name shouldn't be on the record."
"So... are you a foreign friend or a Chinese friend?"
"Song Ying, this is my privacy!"
"OK, fine, I won't ask anymore. That's it, Salia—"
"exist."
"Please check the order flow for these four sets: Sparrow's Whisper, Exquisite Intent, Dreamy Desolation, and Frosty Branch. By the way, Miss Xu, are these the names? I'm not mistaken, am I?"
This time, before Xu Lanyan could speak, Zhao Qingluo answered first.
"I'm not mistaken, I'm not mistaken! These are the ones!"
“Okay, Salia, check it out.”
The small fan was waved again, releasing a fragrant breeze that was pleasant and refreshing.
This only made Xu Lanyan on the other side even more annoyed.
The results came out shortly afterward.
“Darling, Miss Xu isn’t in any of these four sets.”
"Salia, are you sure?"
"I'm absolutely sure, there won't be any mistakes. You can come and take a look."
"I don't need to watch it, and as for Miss Xu, I'm afraid she'd be even less willing to watch it."
Song Ying had initially thought that Xu Lanyan's only fake act was this one, but now it seems that there are probably more fake acts than one.
Of course, the remaining few sets might be genuine, but the lack of purchase records is undeniable.
"Ms. Xu, what are you going to say next? Are you saying that the remaining sets were gifts from your friends?"
Xu Lanyan took a deep breath.
In the midst of the awkward moment, her mind raced, and she had already come up with an explanation.
"As everyone knows, SLOVEY's limited edition items are hard to get. Every time I try to buy them, my friends help me. If they manage to get them, they give me their spot. Don't you singers in the entertainment industry also ask your friends to help you get concert tickets when they're hard to get? It's not unusual, is it?"
As she said this, Xu Lanyan had regained her composure.
The topic was then brought back to Song Ying.
"From the moment you walked in, Miss Song has been targeting me. Is she feeling guilty for wearing counterfeit goods, so she's trying to shift the blame and put all the fire on me?"
Song Ying was genuinely amused this time: "Miss Xu, I think I've done enough, whether it's explicitly stated or implied—Salia, tell this lady whether the 'Shadows in the Sky' dress I'm wearing is real or fake."
"Of course it's real! Nobody would wear a fake, you would never wear a fake."
Salia thought the question was ridiculously stupid.
She walked around the counter and touched Song Ying's forehead. "Honey, you don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense? But speaking of counterfeit goods..."
Salia looked at Xu Lanyan and said, "This young lady's 'Mountain View' outfit is obviously fake. I didn't dare to call you out on it earlier because I saw you two knew each other."
"How could I possibly wear counterfeit goods!"
Xu Lanyan's emotions fluctuated again, "I clearly spent 200,000 yuan to buy this!"
Zhao Qingluo discovered the source of the conflict again.
"Xu Lanyan, how can you contradict yourself like this? You just said it was a gift from someone else!"
Xu Lanyan choked.
In a moment of impulse, she let it slip.
Salia shook her head as well.
"Two hundred thousand? Impossible. Our official price for this set is five hundred thousand, but the black market price is already over a million."
"SLOVEY's anti-counterfeiting features a gold dot embroidery in the lower right corner of the 'E,' which is related to the designer's Chinese name. And miss, the outfit you're wearing, from the fabric to the embroidery and landscape pattern, differs significantly from the authentic product. I think our staff noticed this when you first came in, right?"
Salia looked at the first shop assistant, a blonde, blue-eyed young woman, who immediately nodded.
That's right.
Blood rushed to her head, and Xu Lanyan's scalp tingled.
"If what I'm wearing is fake, then what she's wearing is real? Isn't 'Shadows in the Sky' a non-sale item in your store? You didn't even look at it and you said it was real. Did you conspire to fool us like we're idiots?"
"It's definitely not for sale."
Salia couldn't understand Xu Lanyan's outburst.
"Because the 'Sparse Shadows and Slanting Branches' was originally a private outfit tailor-made for Slovey herself, only she could wear it. Moreover, when this design was first created, she didn't even want to showcase it. It was the senior designers in the design industry who felt that it would be a waste not to share good things with everyone, so this cheongsam was displayed in rotation at SLOVEY stores in various regions. Now that the rotation is over, it's natural to take it back for her to wear. Otherwise, it'll be outdated after the season, right?"
As she spoke, Salia looked at Song Ying, her brows furrowed.
“Dear Slovey, the lady who came with you is quite strange.”
