Chapter 589: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Ruisha Department Store is the most upscale shopping mall in the capital, especially the luxury stores on the top floor.
Today, there are 21 major brands, and the most famous one is no longer the blue-blooded aristocratic brands that have been here for many years, but the studio of Master Yilin. This place has become a new check-in spot for celebrities and wealthy daughters.
However, Master Yilin adopts an appointment-based model in the country. In order to ensure customers' shopping comfort, he only receives three VIPs a day.
Qiao Xi has privileges!
She can come to the store at any time without making an appointment in advance and will prepare the best reception room.
This was an agreement between Master Yilin and Huo Xingzhou when their design studio moved into the imperial capital.
So the three of them took Lao Chen straight to the 21st store on the top floor.
Along the way, Sun Weimeng was telling Huo Sijiao about his great achievements when he first arrived in the imperial capital.
"Right here, that cripple Lu Yan was determined to make things difficult for us, refusing to serve Qiao Xi and me. He wanted us to be unable to buy even a dress at the Ruisha Building and become the laughing stock of the Guan family's birthday banquet. In the end, he was severely slapped in the face by your brother!"
"I can't even begin to describe how awesome it was! I walked with such gusto that day, swooning over Master Yilin's studio amidst the jealousy of those celebrities. Xiang Mingzhu was so pissed her mouth was twisted, and a salesgirl who was having an affair with Lu Yan was scared to death."
Huo Sijiao was amused by him, "Hearing you mention Xiang Mingzhu, I haven't heard from her for a long time."
Since the needle testing conference, the Xiang family has fallen.
Xiang Mingzhu seems to have become much more low-key.
She is no longer seen in various prominent occasions in the imperial capital.
"She must have gone into hiding. The former eldest daughter of one of the four great families, now impoverished. Even if Xiang Tao got the money from the transfer of shares, most of it was used to repay the debt. A small part was taken out of the country..."
Qiu Shui came home halfway up the mountain, leaving only an empty shell of a villa.
I heard that all the servants were fired.
Sun Weimeng had a lot of gossip. "Xiang Tao should have left some money for Xiang Mingzhu. My friends say she's been drinking in bars lately. The Xiang family really can't afford it."
Huo Sijiao sighed.
The second branch of the Huo family had also experienced lows before, so she knew how it felt to be bullied and humiliated.
The kind of drop from the sky to the mud.
But these are all self-inflicted.
Xiang Mingzhu was greedy and evil-minded, and he deserved it.
"Let's go. You need to verify your capital to enter the top floor of Ruisha Commercial Building. The imperial capital is so luxurious that you can't even use your face to enter."
Sun Weimeng took them to the entrance of the top floor with ease, and they were allowed to pass only after they took out their bank cards and passed the capital verification.
Huo Sijiao looked around curiously and said, "I've never experienced a situation in Haicheng where I had to verify my capital just to buy clothes."
"That's because people know you are Huo Xingzhou's sister!"
Sun Weimeng took back the bank card and waved his hand, "I'm paying for today, you guys can spend as you please!"
"You should keep those millions to invest in a beauty salon. My sister-in-law and I will use my brother's credit card." Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi walked together arm in arm.
After these familiar faces appeared, all the shops on the top floor were put on alert.
The shopping guides standing at the door of the store all showed their big white teeth and smiled amiably. No one dared to offend this upstart in the imperial capital.
But Sun Weimeng and Qiao Xi did not stop.
Walked directly to the 21st store at the end of the mall.
"Welcome, Madam Huo."
"Welcome, Mr. Sun, Ms. Huo. Please come in. Mr. Huo has given us a heads-up. We have reserved the largest VIP room for you. Dresses that suit your styles have been delivered to the VIP room for you to choose from."
As soon as Qiao Xi arrived, she was received directly by the manager.
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome. Madam Huo is a distinguished guest recognized by Master Yilin. We have the latest dresses, and they will be displayed in the window only after you've made your selection."
This is the highest treatment.
Huo Sijiao smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm grateful to you. I also like Master Yilin's design and I want to try it out today."
"It's all thanks to your brother."
The manager led the way, passing several booths and arriving at the VIP room. The booths were surrounded by large mirrors, and under the bright lights, they looked like a passage to a magical world.
The mirrors can be rotated and entered, and behind each mirror is a VIP room.
Not far away, in the VIP lounge area separated by a screen, sofas and a coffee table were set up, offering five-star hotel afternoon tea. A male guest was enjoying his tea, looking down at a magazine.
The back figure looks somewhat familiar.
Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze and heard the manager say.
"Mrs. Huo, please come in. Your VIP room is here. Gentlemen, please go this way..."
Sun Weimeng waved his hand and said, "I won't go and pick. I'll wait for you in the lounge. With my looks, I'll look very handsome in any formal suit."
That confidence is about to overflow.
Huo Sijiao smiled disdainfully: "Sister-in-law, let's ignore him and choose a dress first..."
"Um."
Qiao Xi nodded slightly.
But before they could enter the VIP room, the door of the VIP room next to it opened.
The mirror reflected warm light under the lamplight, and the door opened after shaking it.
A voice of praise rang out, "Miss Lu, this classic white fishtail dress designed by Master Yilin is absolutely perfect for you! The tulle design looks ethereal and perfectly complements your temperament. This dress has wedding elements, making it perfect for your engagement."
"Thank you for the compliment."
A gentle yet slightly cold female voice sounded.
She walked out with graceful steps, and two gold medal shopping guides were beside her holding up her skirt.
When Huo Sijiao saw the woman's face, she muttered unhappily, "What a narrow road for enemies! I didn't see Xiang Mingzhu here, but I saw someone even more annoying."
Sun Weimeng rolled his eyes.
Qiao Xi, on the other hand, had a calm expression and was able to control her emotions in front of Lu Yingxue.
"Sister-in-law, let's go in." Huo Sijiao pulled Qiao Xi and walked towards the largest VIP room.
Lu Yingxue over there heard the noise and walked over to chat: "I didn't expect to see you here, Miss Qiao. Are you here to pick out a dress for my and Ayi's engagement party?"
Qiao Xiqing's soft voice rang out: "The Zhong family and the Lu family have sent their invitations. It would be impolite if we don't go."
"I was worried that Miss Qiao wouldn't honor me. Now I feel relieved."
Lu Yingxue always maintains a graceful and elegant appearance in front of outsiders, which makes most people develop a good impression of her in a short period of time.
Few people know how cold-blooded and ruthless she is in private.
Her eyes fell on Qiao Xi's fair and delicate face, and she said, "Since Miss Qiao has brought her friends here, can you do me a favor? This is my first engagement and I don't have much experience."
