Chapter 851: Taking Advantage of the Situation
The car door opened.
Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao got off the car one after another.
Seeing the people inside, Huo Sijiao lowered her voice and said cautiously, "Sister-in-law, be careful. My brother won't be here for a while. You're pregnant now, so don't get into any conflicts with them."
With Lao Chen around, those people can't hurt my sister-in-law, but they might make her angry.
Qiao Xi imitated her and whispered, "I know."
The Pei family is inside!
What perfect timing!
But Qiao Xi knew that Huo Xingzhou had someone arrange for him to choose a dress at a different time from the others. That could only mean one thing: the Pei family did it on purpose.
They just inquired about it and deliberately chose this time.
The people who came from the Pei family were Pei Gan’s sister-in-law Zhao Yaru and Mrs. Pei.
Qiao Xi had seen them on some occasions and had some impression of them, but they had never communicated.
When Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao entered the room, the waiter guided them to sit on the sofa on the side and provided them with some photo album samples to look through.
"Mrs. Huo, Mrs. Xie, please take your time."
Later, fruits and tea were provided, and the service was very good.
"Thanks."
Huo Sijiao flipped through the booklet and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think this yellow set looks good? It really suits your skin."
Not everyone can wear yellow.
Qiao Xi leaned over to take a look. It was a simple yellow dress, which didn't look tight.
She nodded: "You have good taste, this outfit is simple."
"Then let them bring it over first, and we can try it on and compare it later." Huo Sijiao raised her lips and was about to wave to the staff to bring the yellow dress.
Then I heard the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law next door speak first: "Manager Sun, we want this yellow Yingxiang dress! This dress looks lively and charming, just right for my future daughter-in-law. I ordered it for Nan Xi."
"OK."
The manager reserved it for them.
This was clearly intentional.
Huo Sijiao's face immediately fell. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard their conversation and rushed to reserve the dress.
She was about to curse when Qiao Xi stopped her.
First come first served, they can't stand the word of reason.
Huo Sijiao pouted as she flipped through the brochures as if to vent her anger. These dresses were classics from famous designers from around the world, as well as new seasonal styles. Only Fanxing could have such a wide selection.
She just didn't believe she couldn't find something better looking.
She pointed to the Wizard of Oz dress in the brochure and said, "This is beautiful. It looks fairy-like."
This time she spoke in a low voice.
But Qiao Xi continued speaking in a normal voice, "This Wizard of Oz set is really nice. It looks fresh and lively. It also has some coverage on the arms, and it's not a tube top. It suits you very well... Let's keep it for now."
Mrs. Pei said, "Manager Sun, bring over this Wizard of Oz set! This is for my future daughter-in-law. It's refreshing for young people."
She crossed her knees casually, her posture elegant.
Her well-maintained, white fingers pointed at the classic French suit from The Wizard of Oz in the brochure. "Send it directly to the cashier for payment. Nan Xi isn't here, so we'll buy them and let her try them on one by one."
What a wealthy look.
Mrs. Pei kept calling her her future daughter-in-law, but in her heart she looked down on Feng Nanxi's background.
If her eldest son hadn't said that the Feng family had a lot of money, she wouldn't have agreed to this marriage. She always felt that her dandy son was the most caring. Although he had accomplished nothing, he had a good temper and personality and could act coquettishly to make people laugh.
She glanced towards Qiao Xi with disdain on her face.
snort!
Huo Sijiao couldn't help but snort coldly, "Sister-in-law and the others are obviously coming for us! They just follow our choices and are clearly targeting us! Talk quietly later so they don't hear."
Qiao Xi lowered her voice at this moment and said, "Jiaojiao, we just want them to hear it."
Huo Sijiao's eyes turned, and she immediately understood Qiao Xi's plan.
Wouldn’t the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to follow the trend?
Then let them lose money!
She used all her life's acting skills and first called the staff over to introduce the classics in the store, the more expensive the better.
The staff did not dare to offend these famous families in the imperial capital and served them wholeheartedly and responsibly.
"Our shop's most prized possession is Master Fan Li's masterpiece, and it's also our boss's favorite. Therefore, it wasn't included in these brochures, but was only decided to be put up for sale today. It's a moon-white, diamond-studded dress called 'Midsummer's Night.' I'll go get it for you to try on."
This kind of restaurant serves different dishes to different customers.
It’s not that the attitude is bad, but rather that we recommend dresses of corresponding prices based on the customer’s purchasing power.
Dresses like this one, which are not in the brochure, are all about status and power.
The Pei family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had always ordered dresses from established studios, so they naturally knew the rules. They'd always ordered limited-edition, classic pieces, one-of-a-kind in the entire capital. They'd also seen that moon-white Midsummer Night dress before.
It’s just that I’m getting old and can’t wear moon white anymore.
But she didn't expect Qiao Xi to ask for it, so Mrs. Pei spoke again: "We'll take the Midsummer Night one, and pay directly at the cashier by card."
Huo Sijiao stood up and shouted, pretending to be angry, "Why do you want everything? Were you a rag picker in your previous life? You want to buy everything we like. Aren't you deliberately going against us?"
Mrs. Pei sat motionless on the sofa, not even raising her eyelids as she spoke, "Little girl, this is the rule. Whoever pays first gets it first. We'll just buy it if we like it. How can that be considered going against you? If you like it, just buy it directly. Why bother asking someone to bring each set over for you to try?"
“How can you tell if it’s good or bad if you don’t try it on?”
"That's not our fault. Our daughter-in-law didn't have time to try it on today, so she had to buy it back."
Mrs. Pei spoke calmly.
She was happy that she could make her sister-in-law lose face.
The fire at Shisanwan Wharf caused heavy losses to the Pei family. His eldest son found out that it was Zhong Yi and Huo Xingzhou who forced them to do so. Wouldn't this make her bear a grudge?
I heard about the dress selection today, so I came here specially to vent my anger.
Huo Sijiao pretended to be furious, her eyes red: "You are being unreasonable!"
Mrs. Pei became calmer: "If you have the guts, just pay directly."
"Hmph, let's see how many dresses your daughter-in-law can wear. It's impossible that you can choose every dress we like. Besides, she and my sister-in-law are not the same type!"
Mrs. Pei looked up at them with a smile: "I think our aesthetics are quite similar."
Her eldest daughter-in-law, Zhao Yaru, covered her lips and smiled.
Qiao Xi pulled Huo Sijiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao, let's continue choosing. I think this little red dress suits you very well. It's also a new item this season."
There always has to be someone who plays the good cop and someone who plays the bad cop.
This play can go on.
