Chapter 450 Huo Xingzhou, Don't Let Me Down
The pretty salesperson smiled a formal smile and asked gently, "Excuse me, is your last name Qiao?"
Qiao Xi sensed something was amiss, and thinking back to what Lao Chen had said before about the person following them, she knew that going out today would not be smooth sailing.
Perhaps the Lu and Xiang families still have some surprises waiting for her.
But facing the shopping guide's question, Qiao Xi said calmly: "Yes, my last name is Qiao."
The pretty salesgirl said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao. Our store is not accepting any customers with the last name Qiao today." She said sorry, but there was no trace of apology in her tone.
Today, they all received a notice from Young Master Lu of the powerful and wealthy Lu family, forbidding anyone from serving anyone with the surname Qiao. The same applies to all 20 high-end luxury brands on the entire floor: none of them can be served.
They also have brains. There is a powerful and noble family with the surname Qiao in the imperial capital.
Just think of this man as an ordinary upstart who offended Lu Yan. Why offend Mr. Lu for an ordinary person?
This beautiful shopping guide is called Bai Yue. She is one of Lu Yan’s women and she rolled around on Lu Yan’s bed last night.
She had just received a text message from Lu Yan, asking her to ridicule and mock a young woman named Qiao.
She also asked Lu Yan who this person was, and Lu Yan just said that she was a blind woman.
It must be the person in front of me.
Looking at her facial features, Bai Yue had endless fantasies in his mind, fearing that Lu Yan had taken a fancy to this woman.
She must humiliate her!
"Ms. Qiao, please don't delay other customers here. The old man of the Guan family is having a birthday party, and many distinguished guests are choosing dresses in our house." Bai Yue showed a sweet smile, but her words were a bit harsh.
Sun Weimeng just couldn't stand this anger: "You own this shop? They are VIP customers, aren't we? You specifically want to stop customers named Qiao, but did you say that I, Sun, can enter?"
"Sir, we just received a notice from above and are following the rules. Please don't embarrass me, a mere shopping guide."
Bai Yue spoke innocently, but her eyes were somewhat provocative.
Qiao Xi didn't get angry. She had seen this disgusting trick yesterday. She tugged at Sun Shao's clothes and said, "Let's go to another place."
Sun Weimeng spat. He was even less polite when it came to treating people with low manners. "Bah, you're just looking down on people! You don't even have many of Master Yilin's current season designs. You can't even get a full collection of 10 pieces."
Master Yilin's new autumn and winter series, "The Descent of the Goddess of Beauty", has a total of 10 dresses, and this store only displays half of them.
Bai Yue's expression faded a little, and her tone was filled with an unconcealed sense of superiority. "We don't have the entire collection of the Goddess of Beauty's Descent, but we already have the most comprehensive selection in the capital. Master Yilin's main venue is overseas, and each release is limited."
Bai Yue raised her chin slightly as she looked at Qiao Xi and Sun Weimeng and said, "Are you also thinking of buying dresses from the Goddess of Beauty series? Those are reserved for the ladies of noble families. Who are you to count as an onion? Besides, it's the same even if we change stores today! None of our 20 top-floor luxury stores will accept customers with the last name Qiao!"
Sun Weimeng's temper flared up: "Who do you think you are! Twenty stores, right? My eldest brother Huo Xing..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Bai Yue interrupted rudely: "Everyone, please leave."
She only wanted to complete the task assigned to her by Lu Yan so that she could ask Lu Yan for a reward.
In the rest area of the store, the young ladies who were being served one-on-one all looked sideways, leisurely drinking tea and watching this farce.
They whispered to each other, and their curious eyes fell on the unfamiliar face of Qiao Xi.
In the past, there were vain women who ran to the top floor, were driven away, and left in embarrassment.
I guess this woman is the same.
"She is indeed very beautiful, and looks somewhat familiar."
"It's quite pitiful. He offended Lu Yan. Everyone knows that Lu Yan is the little bully of the imperial capital. People of high status would disdain to do such a thing. The other playboys can't compare to the Lu family."
So Lu Yan is the only one who is not stingy.
Qiao Xi listened to what they said with a calm expression. It seemed that she would not be able to buy a dress in these brand stores today.
Old Chen said that someone was following her, so no matter where she went, Lu Yan would spend money and use connections to make sure that she couldn't find a decent dress in the entire imperial capital.
"Qiao Xi."
The door to the inner dressing room opened, and a woman came out in a black tasseled dress with a few glossy black feathers dotted on her shoulders. She walked up to Qiao Xi in high heels, like an elegant and proud black swan.
It’s Xiang Mingzhu!
She was wearing one of Master Yilin's new products.
Xiang Mingzhu looked at her and smiled. "How pitiful! She can't even buy a dress. Bai Yue, go to the warehouse and find her a few dresses from last year."
"Yes, Miss Xiang. But I don't think she deserves it."
Bai Yue looked at Xiang Mingzhu flatteringly. She said yes, but she didn't move at all. Instead, she stood aside and watched the show.
Xiang Mingzhu is Lu Yan's cousin. Every time she comes to the store, Bai Yue treats her like a princess.
They sang in unison.
A smile spread across Qiao Xi's fair face. "Miss Xiang, I didn't expect you to have returned to the imperial capital. I thought you were still in the detention center in Haicheng. You were arrested and detained by the police for spreading rumors and causing trouble. It's you, right?"
The matter of Xiang Mingzhu being detained was suppressed. I heard that she returned to the imperial capital in disgrace.
There are so many wealthy young ladies from the capital city in this luxury store, and Qiao Xi wants to expose this matter.
"Qiao Xi, you..."
Xiang Mingzhu's face turned cold.
The expressions of the young ladies who were watching the show changed when they looked at Xiang Mingzhu. Xiang Mingzhu had actually been to a detention center?
This is a huge piece of gossip, and the Xiang family has kept the news secret very carefully.
"Qiao Xi, do you think you can sit back and relax and participate in the needle testing conference just because you arrive in the imperial capital? This is the imperial capital, and Huo Xingzhou can't guarantee that he can protect you. Besides, he's not by your side yet."
Xiang Mingzhu was arrogant and domineering. She had suffered a lot at the hands of Qiao Xi before.
Now that Qiao Xi has come to her territory, she must get everything back!
Qiao Xi glanced at her and said, "At worst, I'm Huo Xingzhou's wife, a descendant of the Liu family. You don't need to worry about me."
When the onlookers heard about the Huo family and the Liu family, they looked at Qiao Xi in surprise.
She is the rumored Mrs. Huo!
Traditional Chinese medicine apprentice Qiao Xi!
Even though this was the imperial capital, they were the daughters of second- or third-rate aristocratic families, and still could not compare to Qiao Xi's status and position.
The phrase "Zhong of the Imperial Capital, Liu of the Sea City" is no joke. Only the descendants of the four major families can compete with Qiao Xi for a while.
Xiang Mingzhu is not afraid, but they are!
Bai Yue's face turned even paler. Lu Yan hadn't told her that this woman was actually a member of the Huo family! She was just a shopping guide. What if she was retaliated against?
Xiang Mingzhu folded her arms and looked at Qiao Xi provocatively: "Just keep talking tough, let's see what you wear to the party."
Sun Weimeng clenched his fists and cursed, "You're such a tough bastard! Do you think you can be a phoenix just because you have two chicken feathers on your shoulders? Have you forgotten the embarrassing apology you made when you admitted defeat in front of my sister Qiao during the preliminary round of the needle testing conference?
You said my sister Qiao couldn’t buy a dress on the top floor, what if she did buy it? "
Xiang Mingzhu sneered: “If Qiao Xi takes away a dress from the top floor, I will take her last name!”
"Okay, you said it!"
Sun Weimeng stiffened his neck and said seriously, "Just wait for me! If you can't do it, I'll kneel down for you!"
Xiang Mingzhu taunted him, "You're not going to go around asking for help from every store, are you? That would be really embarrassing! Even if you pay a lot of money, no salesperson here will sell you a dress!"
Sun Weimeng looked very imposing on the surface, but he was extremely panicked inside.
Huo Xingzhou, don't let me down!
He has already said the harsh words!
Suddenly, the rich girl who was watching the excitement shouted: "What's going on over there!"
