Chapter 716: Magnificent
The two walked into the mall and went straight to their favorite private tailor shop.
"By the way, what are you going to give me?"
Xiao Muzhen shook her head. "I haven't decided yet, but it should be something like jewelry. As for clothes, I wonder what size Miss Jing wears."
"Then I'll buy some jewelry too. We'll go shopping for clothes first, and then go to the jewelry store."
"Um."
As soon as the two of them walked into the dress shop, Xie Fu immediately fell in love with the light blue dress displayed in the center of the store entrance.
The tube top has a petal design and a fishtail-shaped hem. The skirt is embroidered with many sparkling sequins, which is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.
“So beautiful!”
Xie Fu unconsciously walked to the front of the skirt, her eyes full of amazement.
Xiao Muzhen took a look and thought she was pretty.
"It looks great, you'll look beautiful in it."
"I think so too!"
As the two were discussing, a salesperson walked up to them and said with a smile, "Ms. Xie, Ms. Xiao, come and look at the dresses today. This is the latest model we have in our store, the only one of its kind in the world. It's called Ice Blue, and it's the latest design by Alic, a famous designer from Country F."
"It's really beautiful. This dress I..."
Before he could finish his words, a haughty voice came from behind him, "Pack up Binglan for me, I need it urgently!"
Xiao Muzhen and Xie Fu turned around at the same time and saw a beautiful woman standing a few steps away from them, with her chin slightly raised and her eyes looking high and mighty.
The salesperson's eyes flashed with embarrassment. "Miss, before you came, Miss Xie had already taken a fancy to this dress. You can only buy it if Miss Xie decides not to buy it."
After all, Xie Fu is a high-level VIP customer of their store, so dresses and other things should be given priority to VIPs.
Upon hearing this, the other party frowned and sneered, "I can pay double, no... triple the price for this dress. Our young lady's birthday party is coming up, and she specifically wants this dress."
The shopping guide frowned and wanted to say that even if it was her daughter who came, there would be a first come first served principle.
But before she could open her mouth, Xie Fu spoke.
"My lady, I don't think I've seen you in the capital. May I ask who your daughter is?"
The woman raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "My lady's last name is Jing, have you heard of her?"
Xie Fu was speechless for a moment. She and Jing Xuechu hadn't even met yet, yet they both liked the same dress.
And judging from the arrogant look of this woman, Jing Xuechu probably isn't someone who's easy to get along with.
However, the Jing family is about to return to the capital, and it is still unknown how powerful the Jing family is. It is not a good choice to offend Jing Xuechu now.
Thinking of this, she smiled and said, "Since Miss Jing likes it, let her have it."
The woman snorted coldly, "You're smart. What's your name? I'll help you speak well of it in front of my lady next time."
"No need to mention the name. We'll meet soon at Miss Jing's birthday party."
The woman didn't ask any further questions. She just swiped her card, took the skirt and left.
After the other person's figure completely disappeared from her sight, Xie Fu sighed, "I really like that dress, what a pity..."
Xiao Muzhen smiled and said, "Okay, there are still many beautiful skirts, you can choose."
"Well, but it seems that this Miss Jing is not easy to get along with."
"We'll know whether we can get along or not at the birthday party next week."
Since she didn’t buy the dress she liked at first, Xie Fu always felt that the dresses she looked at later were not perfect enough. In the end, she didn’t buy anything and just left.
I also felt a little depressed when I went to the jewelry store.
Xiao Muzhen raised an eyebrow and looked at her, "What's the matter? Are you unhappy because you didn't buy that skirt?"
Xie Fu nodded and said, "Well, I really like that dress. After all, I fell in love with it at first sight."
"Then why didn't you insist on buying it?"
Xiao Muzhen was a little confused. If she liked a skirt, she would definitely buy it. And since they were obviously in the right just now, she would not give up.
"Now the Xie family is no longer as powerful as before, and the Jing family has just returned to Beijing, so their specific strength is still unclear. I don't want to offend Jing Xuechu at this time."
I would rather have one more friend than one more enemy, especially an enemy of unknown depth.
Xiao Muzhen nodded, "Okay, but since you've given up, don't think about it anymore. Maybe you can meet someone better in the future."
"Um."
After buying the jewelry, they went home.
On the way back, Xiao Muzhen's cell phone suddenly rang, but it only rang for a moment before being hung up.
She lowered her eyes and saw that it was Yun Ling's number. She was stunned for a moment, then slammed on the brakes, her eyes full of disbelief.
Why would Yunling call her? !
Will it be...
She quickly called back, but the phone showed that it was turned off.
Xiao Muzhen's excitement was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, but soon, a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart again.
This phone call... could it mean Yunling is not dead?!
If Yunling really had an accident in the mountains, and the villagers picked up her phone, they would definitely tell Mr. Yun. This phone call would prove that the phone was not picked up by the villagers.
Moreover, her phone has a lock screen, so no one else can open it unless she does.
The more Xiao Muzhen thought about it, the more excited he became.
Yunling may not be dead!
“Ding ding ding!”
A shrill horn sounded from behind the car, bringing Xiao Muzhen, who was immersed in fantasy, back to reality.
She quickly parked the car on the side of the road and called Mr. Yun.
"Master, Junior Sister might not be dead! She just called me on her phone, but she hung up quickly. I didn't answer, and when I called again, it said the phone was turned off. I think... Junior Sister is either injured and recuperating somewhere, or someone is controlling her. That's why we didn't find her in the mountains, nor her body!"
After several seconds, Mr. Yun on the other end of the phone said excitedly, "Really?!"
"Well, I will send people to continue looking for Junior Sister. Maybe she is waiting for us to rescue her somewhere!"
"But...if your junior sister was captured, what was their purpose in capturing her?"
Xiao Muzhen frowned, "I don't know either, but I feel that there's a high possibility that Junior Sister is still alive. As long as she's alive, there's hope of finding her!"
"Well, I'll also ask the villagers to keep an eye out for her when they go up the mountain."
"Okay, I won't tell you anymore. I'll go find someone to look for my junior sister."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Muzhen immediately called Xiao Zhuan.
"Third brother, I want to ask you for a favor!"
Xiao Zhuan smiled and said, "What? It's rare that you want to ask me for help, so tell me."
