"How many?!"
"Twenty-seven million, miss," the sales assistant said with a dignified smile, "you can enter the password now."
The message had already been sent, and there were still many other customers in the luxury brand store. Some of them had already recognized Ruan Yunhan and were looking in this direction.
Ruan Chen casually picked up the yellow-green cheongsam and tried it on.
"Isn't that the eldest daughter of the Ruan family who was just taken back? She spent over 20 million on these dresses? That's really extravagant."
"Look, the second young lady of the Ruan family is here too."
"Why are the clothes that the second young lady tried on so shabby?"
"Isn't the Ruan family being far too biased?"
“It was the eldest young lady who was ostracizing the second young lady. I saw it with my own eyes. That middle-aged and elderly cheongsam was chosen by the eldest young lady for the second young lady.”
Ruan Yunhan was a little embarrassed; she had to maintain her image as a kind, intelligent, and beautiful person.
Ruan Yunhan casually put down the dresses and said, "We'll settle the bill together later."
Then she walked over to Ruan Chen and said, "I was just joking with you, why did you actually try it?"
The sales assistant, however, persisted with Ruan Yunhan, saying, "Miss, I've already wrapped it up for you. Please pay first."
"Yes, sister, look, the sales assistant has been serving you for so long. Please pay first, don't make things difficult for her."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ruan Yunhan gritted her teeth and entered the password.
A mechanical voice announced throughout the hall, "Sorry, your available balance is insufficient."
A low chuckle erupted from the surrounding crowd. "So, the eldest daughter of the Ruan family is also trying to act like a big shot."
"No wonder he refused to pay earlier; he knew he couldn't afford it."
Ruan Yunhan blushed slightly, grabbed her phone, and quickly dialed a number.
She lowered her voice and said into the phone, "I need twenty million, hurry up."
"How could you not have any? I know exactly how much money my dad has given you over the years!"
"I'll pay you back once I've made it big in the Ruan family!"
No matter what Ruan Yunhan said, the woman on the other end of the phone still refused her and hung up the phone directly.
Just then, a distinguished-looking man walked over and said with a smile, "My master asked me to pay the bill for Miss Ruan."
He held a black card, one of only 100 in the world, between his fingers.
But the cardholder's name, which was embossed in gold, was deliberately obscured.
The man simply paid the bill and didn't say a word to Ruan Yunhan and Ruan Chen from beginning to end. After paying, he left without mentioning which "Miss Ruan" he was referring to.
Ruan Yunhan's heart pounded with excitement. She had asked the shop assistant to wrap up the dress, so the mysterious "master" behind this man was naturally paying for it on her behalf.
This man is already eye-catching enough; how outstanding must the person behind him be?
It seems I've come into someone's sights.
Ye Huanhuan had just finished picking out clothes for Ruan Luo and called out, "Chen'er, come here, Mom picked out a dress for you, see if you like it."
Ruan Chen glanced contentedly at the extra balance on her card and sweetly replied, "Mom's here."
-------------------------------------
Freshman social dance party.
The Ruan family is one of the sponsors of Huating Academy, and Ruan Yunhan herself has an outstanding resume, having attended schools ranked among the top 100 in the world from elementary to high school. Naturally, she was invited to speak on stage as a student representative.
In the dressing room, she looked at her reflection in the full-length mirror with satisfaction. Luckily, she managed to snag this dress before Ruan Chen, and she was sure to shine in the moment.
I wonder if that mysterious person... is watching me from the shadows.
The dress's fitted waist accentuated Ruan Yunhan's slender figure, making her appear as delicate as a snow lotus in bloom. As she moved, the white skirt rose and fell like petals.
Time was almost up. Ruan Yunhan took a deep breath and walked towards the stage, where she was going to make a grand appearance and amaze the entire Huating Public School.
Coincidentally, someone she found extremely repulsive walked out of the next changing room.
Ruan Chen.
Ruan Chen wore a black dress, and Ruan Yunhan immediately noticed that the details of the dress were very similar to her own, indicating that they were made by the same person.
"What are you doing dressed like that?" Ruan Yunhan stood in front of her.
Ruan Chen gave her a puzzled look. "A ball, huh?"
Ruan Yunhan crossed her arms and looked her up and down. "Little sister, this dress doesn't suit you. There's still time before the ball starts. You should change into something else. What kind of behavior is this, dressing like this at such a young age?"
"My mom picked out this dress for me, and I really like it. She didn't think it was inappropriate, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
Ruan Yunhan casually opened an unlocked private wardrobe on one side and pulled out an old-fashioned plus-size dress. "This one suits you quite well, put it on."
"Nonsense." Ruan Chen said coldly, trying to avoid the question.
In the instant they brushed past each other, Ruan Yunhan suddenly grabbed Ruan Chen's arm and slapped him hard across the face!
Ruan Yunhan slapped Ruan Chen hard across her fair face. "Take off your dress!"
A commotion suddenly erupted at the entrance to the locker room.
"Yunhan, the report is about to begin, what are you doing here?"
A look of panic flashed across Ruan Yunhan's face. She turned around and saw that there were quite a few people standing at the entrance of the dressing room!
Among them were teachers from Huating Academy!
Ruan Yunhan's classmate explained, "The report started and you didn't come, so we split up to look for you."
Ruan Yunhan pointed to Ruan Chen, whose face was swollen and red, and stammered, "I was going to get there, but she stopped me. I'm going now."
But everyone could see clearly that Ruan Yunhan was standing with her back to the door and Ruan Chen was facing outwards. It was obvious that Ruan Yunhan was blocking Ruan Chen, forcing Ruan Chen to change her clothes, and even slapping Ruan Chen!
The teacher who came to the changing room frowned at Ruan Yunhan, who lied without batting an eye. "Student, I saw what happened. You forced this student to change her clothes, she refused, and then you hit her."
"That's not how it is!" Ruan Yunhan still argued, "Teacher, I'm her older sister. Her outfit tonight was really inappropriate, so I made her change it. She wouldn't listen to me, and I was just impatient, so I took action."
The teacher looked Ruan Chen and Ruan Yunhan up and down suspiciously, and said, "I think this little student looks very pretty in this dress, is it inappropriate?"
After Ruan Yunhan said that, the surrounding students also looked at Ruan Chen.
The black lace dress was perfectly tailored, outlining her slender figure. The gold thread embroidery on it was clearly the work of a master. Wearing this dress, Ruan Chen looked like a princess from a fairy tale, mysterious, exquisite, and elegant.
As for Ruan Yunhan... she appeared much less impressive standing next to Ruan Chen.
From the back of the crowd, Chen Mohan said lazily, "Hey, sister, are you just jealous that your sister is prettier than you, that's why you stopped her? And how could you touch other people's things without permission? If I'm not mistaken, you opened someone's private wardrobe and touched their clothes? Tsk tsk tsk, you're not a clean freak."
