Chapter 851: Taking Advantage of the Situation
The car door opens.
Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao got off the car one after another.
When Huo Sijiao saw the people inside, she lowered her voice and said cautiously, "Sister-in-law, be careful. My brother won't be here for long. 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 a great way to make the most of your time!
But Qiao Xi knew that Huo Xingzhou had arranged for him to choose his dress without letting others do so. That could only mean one thing: the Pei family did it on purpose.
They just found out and deliberately chose this time.
The people who came from the Pei family were Pei Qian’s sister-in-law Zhao Yaru and Mrs. Pei.
Qiao Xi had met them on some occasions and had some impression of them, but they had never communicated.
When Qiao Xi and Huo Sijiao came in, 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 a look."
Fruits and tea were then provided, and the service was very good.
"Thank you."
Huo Sijiao took the booklet and flipped through it. "Sister-in-law, do you think this yellow one looks good? It suits your skin very well."
Not everyone can wear yellow.
Qiao Xi leaned over to take a look. It was a simple yellow dress that didn't look tight.
She nodded: "You have good taste, this outfit is simple to wear."
"Then let them bring it over first, and then we'll try them on and compare them later." Huo Sijiao said with a raised lip, and she 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, so I ordered this set for Nanxi."
"OK."
The manager has reserved it for them.
This was clearly intentional.
Huo Sijiao's face immediately fell. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law heard what they were talking about and booked the dress in advance.
She was about to burst into a curse when she was stopped by Qiao Xi.
First come first served, they can't stand the word of reason.
Huo Si pouted, flipping through the books as if to vent her anger. These dresses were all classics from famous designers from various countries, as well as new styles for the season, and only Fanxing could have so many styles.
She just didn't believe that she couldn't find something better.
She pointed to the Wizard of Oz dress in the brochure and said, "This is beautiful. It looks like a fairy."
This time she spoke in a low voice.
But Qiao Xi still spoke at a normal volume: "This Wizard of Oz set is really good, it looks fresh and lively. It also covers the arms, not a tube top. It suits her very well... I'll keep it for now."
Mrs. Pei said, "Manager Sun, give me this set of The Wizard of Oz! It's also for my future daughter-in-law. It's refreshing for young people to wear."
She crossed her knees casually, in an elegant posture.
The well-maintained white finger pointed at the French classic Wizard of Oz in the brochure and said, "Send it directly to the cashier for payment. Nan Xi is not here, so we bought them back and let her try them on one by one."
What a wealthy and powerful look.
Mrs. Pei kept calling her the future daughter-in-law, but in her heart she looked down on Feng Nanxi's background.
If it weren't for her eldest son saying that the Feng family had a lot of money, she wouldn't have agreed to this marriage. She always thought her son, a playboy and a jerk, was the most caring one. Although he had accomplished nothing, he had a good temper and personality and could act coquettishly to make people laugh.
She glanced in Qiao Xi's direction with disdain on her face.
snort!
Huo Sijiao couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Sister-in-law, they are obviously coming for us! They just follow our choices, it's obvious that they are targeting us! You should speak quietly later, don't let them hear it."
Qiao Xi lowered her voice at this moment and said, "Jiao Jiao, 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 suit?
Then let them go bankrupt!
She used her lifelong 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.
"The treasure of our store is Master Fan Li's masterpiece, and it is also our boss's favorite. So it is not included in the selection of these brochures. We decided to put it on sale today. It is a moon-white diamond-studded dress named Midsummer Night. I will apply for it for you to try."
This kind of restaurant serves different dishes to different customers.
It’s not that the attitude is bad, but we recommend dresses of corresponding prices based on the customer’s spending power.
For example, a dress like this one, which is not listed in the brochure, is based on status and power.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Pei family had always ordered dresses from an old-fashioned studio, so they naturally knew the rules. They ordered limited edition classic styles, which were unique in the entire imperial capital. It was not unheard of for that moon-white Midsummer Night.
It’s just that I’m 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 pretended to be angry and stood up and shouted, "Why do you want everything? Did you pick up junky things in your previous life? You want to buy whatever we like. Aren't you deliberately going against us?"
Mrs. Pei sat on the sofa without moving, not even raising her eyelids, and said, "Little girl, this is the rule. Whoever pays first gets it first. We bought it directly if we liked it. How can we say that we are going against you? If you like it, just buy it directly. Why bother others to bring it to you one by one to try?"
"How can you tell if something is 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 suffer.
The fire at the Thirteen Bays Pier 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. How could she not feel resentment?
I heard about the dress selection today, so I came here specially to vent my anger.
Huo Sijiao pretended to be angry and said, "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 consistent."
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, and it's also a new product this season."
There always has to be someone who plays the good cop and someone who plays the bad cop.
Only then can the play go on.
