Su Niannian patted Xibao's fluffy hair as a gesture of comfort, then turned and walked towards the fitting room.
She had only taken two steps when she heard Jiang Er's arrogant and domineering voice again behind her.
"Hmph! I'm going to put this dress on right now."
"Hurry up and take off your clothes right here!"
Miss Jiang stared at Su Niannian with a smug look on her face, her eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Because she had just noticed Su Niannian's timid and cowardly behavior, she concluded that the mother and son had no money or power and could not afford such expensive clothes. They were just deliberately coming to the store to try them on and have some fun.
Since her favorite dress had been defiled by Su Niannian, she had to get revenge for herself.
Otherwise, I simply wouldn't be able to get over this hurdle in my mind.
As for the dress, she didn't necessarily want to buy it; she just thought of taking it for herself because she saw how good Su Niannian looked in it.
In her mind, all the good things in the world should be chosen by her first, and others only deserve the garbage she doesn't want.
Su Niannian thought she had misheard, and turned around to ask Miss Jiang Er with a questioning look, "What did you say?"
Miss Jiang approached Su Niannian step by step, commanding domineeringly, "I told you to take off your skirt right here, immediately."
It's true what they say: kind people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden!
Su Niannian did not expect that her concession would only embolden Miss Jiang Er, making her even more arrogant and domineering.
She stared at the woman in front of her in disbelief, and angrily questioned, "Are you kidding me? There are so many people here, you want me to take off my dress in front of everyone?"
"You're kidding me. I'm making you take your clothes off in public. Who gave you the right to wear the dress that should have been mine?"
Miss Jiang acted unreasonably, insisting that Su Niannian take off her clothes in public.
Is this woman mentally unstable?
Why would someone claim this dress as hers out of the blue?
When she tried on the dress, the salesperson didn't mention that it would be sold.
If you mention it, she won't try it on.
Su Niannian didn't want to argue with the crazy woman in front of her, so she turned to the sales clerk and asked, "Excuse me, has this dress been sold to this lady? Has she paid for it?"
The sales clerk was furious but dared not speak out when she saw that Miss Jiang not only snatched Su Niannian's clothes but also asked the customer to take off her clothes on the spot.
She also understood that the customers who could afford to patronize their store were not to be trifled with.
When Su Niannian asked her, the last shred of reason she retained told her that she had to tell the truth.
Under the murderous glare of Miss Jiang, she braced herself and cautiously replied, "Replying to Madam, before you tried on this dress, no one bought it, and no one paid for it."
Su Niannian then asked, "So, this dress can be sold normally, and customers can try it on as usual, right?"
"Yes, madam." The sales clerk nodded.
"Thank you!" Su Niannian said politely, then looked at Miss Jiang and shrugged, "You heard me, this dress doesn't have an owner yet."
I have the right to try it on and the right to buy it.
Furthermore, you should understand the principle of order of arrival. Whether I give you this dress or not is entirely up to me; it's not up to you.
Su Niannian had already told this woman she would give the dress to her, but the woman demanded that she take off her clothes right there. Su Niannian felt that the woman in front of her didn't actually want to buy the dress; she just wanted to cause her trouble.
Miss Jiang was determined to embarrass Su Niannian. Ever since she saw Su Niannian walk out in this dress, jealousy had made her lose her mind.
She wouldn't listen to anything anyone said and said in a curt tone, "Stop trying to be unreasonable. I'm taking this dress today, and you have to take it off right here. If you don't, I'll take it off for you."
As he spoke, he reached out and pulled at Su Niannian's collar, trying to forcibly pull off her skirt.
"Ah!" Su Niannian didn't expect this crazy woman to attack so suddenly. She screamed in fright, tightly protecting her neck with both hands and taking two steps back to prevent Miss Jiang from succeeding.
Her eyes sharpened and she warned in a firm tone, "Miss Jiang, do you know that what you are doing is illegal? If you continue to be obstinate, I will call the police."
She felt that this Miss Jiang was blatantly insulting her personality and trampling on her dignity.
If she were to actually comply with this Miss Jiang's wishes today and take off her dress in front of everyone, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Not only would it cause Si Lijue to lose face and tarnish his reputation, but it would also cast a shadow over Xi Bao's young mind.
In Xi Bao's eyes, her mother has always been a strong, brave, and omnipotent being.
However, if she were to so easily succumb to the threats and humiliations of this Miss Jiang, how would Xi Bao view her?
Perhaps, from this day forward, Xi Bao will think of herself as a weak person who is bullied by others and has no power to fight back.
Once this perception is formed, it will have an extremely negative impact on a child's development.
If this continues, Xibao may gradually become self-conscious and timid, afraid to interact with others, and even choose to retreat and escape when faced with difficulties and challenges.
And the root of all this is simply her compromise and weakness today.
Therefore, no matter what, she absolutely cannot let such a thing happen!
To vent her anger, Miss Jiang Er went head-to-head with Su Niannian.
Undeterred, she gritted her teeth and retorted, "Go ahead and call the police right now, let them arrest me."
You and your son are probably in danger before the police even arrive.
"I'm telling you, if you dare disobey my orders and try to challenge me, I will make you and your son disappear from Kyoto forever."
Su Niannian was so angry she laughed.
She felt that no matter how powerful the Jiang family was, they wouldn't dare to openly provoke the Si family.
Si Lijue might not care about her, but he certainly wouldn't stand by and watch his son be threatened.
So, her eyes burned with anger as she stared intently at the Second Miss Jiang before her, her face showing no fear, her resolute expression seemingly conveying an unshakable belief in her heart.
Then, she parted her lips slightly, her tone full of confidence, and said calmly, "Miss Jiang, this is a society governed by law, not ancient times. You are not a princess. If you want my son and me to disappear from Kyoto, I'm afraid you and your Jiang family don't have that kind of power."
Miss Jiang was furious that the woman in front of her was not afraid of her threats, but dared to openly provoke her and challenge her.
A hint of contempt and mockery flashed in her eyes, as if she didn't take the other person seriously at all.
