Although there were quite a few customers in the store, everyone was very quiet.
In addition, Ruan Yunhan and her group made such a big fuss that many people were attracted to their attention and naturally heard the words "fake".
Mischievous laughter rose and fell from all directions.
Ruan Chen wasn't very interested in what happened next; she just wandered around the store and eventually stopped in front of a display case.
Suppressing her anger, Ruan Yunhan asked, "Could you please double-check? Is there some mistake somewhere?"
The sales clerk's smile was polite but formulaic. "Madam, there's no need to verify. We really don't have a dress like that. Our brand's designers have a habit of embroidering a green leaf on the inside lining of the wrist. You can check if your dress has one."
Ruan Yunhan rolled up her sleeve and glanced at it, becoming confident. She looked at the shop assistant with disdain, stretched out her wrist, and questioned, "What is this?"
The shop assistant glanced at it, smiled helplessly, and said, "How about this, I'll show you the embroidery on the genuine product, and then you'll know whether what you're wearing is a fake or not."
The girl named Xiao Qiu who gave Ruan Yunhan the dress was almost scared to tears.
She never expected that the dress she bought for over 800,000 yuan was a fake.
She told Ruan Yunhan that she bought it from a department store, but in reality, she asked a friend for a guarantee. The friend promised to pay ten times the price if it was fake, which is why she dared to buy it.
Xiao Qiu's hands were trembling so much she could barely hold her phone. She texted the so-called "friend" who had bought her the dress, asking what was going on.
But when he opened the chat software, he discovered that his friend's account had been deleted.
She knew she was finished.
Ruan Yunhan must hate herself to death.
She made Ruan Yunhan look so foolish.
Ruan Chen was admiring her work when, through the reflection in the glass, she saw Xiao Qiu standing outside the crowd, who had initially bullied her by relying on Ruan Yunhan.
The clothes she gave to Ruan Yunhan have run into problems, and she's currently at a loss for what to do.
But Ruan Chen remained calm—trying to climb the social ladder by sucking up to others is not that easy.
Ruan Yunhan also realized that what she was wearing was a fake.
But she managed to suppress her anger.
“Xiao Qiu,” she turned and waved to the frightened girl, gently scolding, “You’re just young and inexperienced, easily deceived. Learn from your mistakes, and be more careful next time.”
Xiao Qiu was stunned.
Ruan Yunhan actually... doesn't blame herself at all?
It was only then that Ruan Chen realized the story was starting to get interesting.
Ruan Yunhan's composure has improved.
Xiao Qiu was terrified just now, but she is now deeply moved.
She walked over timidly, "Sister Yunhan, you're not angry with me?"
"Why would I blame you? You're my best friend, and you were just trying to help me. If I blame you, what kind of person would I be?"
Ruan Yunhan's remarks were both magnanimous and appropriate.
The customers in the store couldn't help but admire this young, beautiful, and elegant girl, guessing that she must be a young lady raised by a prestigious family.
The shop assistant was also impressed by Ruan Yunhan's words and demeanor, and her smile became more sincere. "Our brand has one unique piece in this summer's new collection. Would you like to try it on?"
The sales assistant looked at the counterfeit item on Ruan Yunhan's body, then at the unique piece in the display case. "I think your dress is designed to resemble this unique piece in our store. You see, the pearl jewelry is exactly the same except for the material."
She pointed to where Ruan Chen was standing.
What Ruan Chen admired for a long time was the fake item that Ruan Yunhan was wearing, which was a copy of the genuine product.
The moment Ruan Yunhan saw Ruan Chen, she suddenly understood.
She lifted her skirt and walked up to Ruan Chen, pretending to admire the clothes. "You knew this dress was a fake, didn't you? You're disappointed that you didn't get to see the excitement?"
Ruan Chen smiled, tilting his head to look at Ruan Yunhan with a roguish air, "I'm very pleased that you've turned over a new leaf. How could I be disappointed?"
With one hand still fiddling with her hoodie pocket, she lazily dragged herself away, texting with the other, "I don't want to sell that one-of-a-kind Balotelli piece anymore, cherish it."
She didn't want to see her work worn by someone like Ruan Yunhan.
The saleswoman hurried forward to open the display case, but the store's phone suddenly rang.
Ruan Yunhan, unusually, displayed impeccable manners, saying, "Please answer first, we can wait."
There are quite a few people in the store now, especially students participating in the competition, so she can't lose her composure.
After finishing the phone call, the shop assistant returned to Ruan Yunhan's side, looking troubled and hesitant. "Miss, I just received a notification from headquarters that this unique item needs to be taken off the shelves immediately due to some unforeseen circumstances."
The call from headquarters made it very clear that the designer didn't want to sell anymore.
But the shop assistant couldn't say it directly, so they could only use this euphemistic approach.
Ruan Yunhan's temper was starting to get the better of her, and her tone became less polite as she asked, "Has someone already reserved it? I think this unique set is the one I set was looking at first, so it should be sold to me."
"No," the sales clerk apologized nervously, "it's the designer's request."
“I can pay more.” Ruan Yunhan couldn’t stand being first pointed out for wearing counterfeit goods while shopping for genuine products, and then having the genuine products she wanted to buy taken off the shelves.
Even if it's just to wash away the shame of wearing a fake, she has to get her hands on this authentic piece.
"I'm sorry, miss, the designer doesn't want to produce it anymore."
Ruan Yunhan's friends, who were surrounding her, started chattering, "Isn't this too much? Our Yunhan has her eye on this one."
"Is the designer in the US right now? I want to meet her and talk to her in person. I want to see what kind of designer has such a big attitude."
The shop assistant was actually a young girl, and she was surrounded by a group of people who were talking all at once, and many of them were even aggressive in their tone. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Fortunately, a call came in to help.
In their haste, the shop assistant pressed the speakerphone button.
"It's true that our decision was too hasty. If a customer takes a liking to it, we'll sell it."
The shop assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
Ruan Yunhan pulled out her credit card without even asking the price, and said proudly, "Swipe the card."
The shop assistant found the price in the system. She wanted to kindly remind Ruan Yunhan of the price of the dress, but she was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she just handed her the POS machine.
Ruan Yunhan entered the password, and the next moment, a notification sound came from the POS machine.
Sorry, your balance is insufficient.
She still has over ten million in her account, how could she have insufficient funds?
Ruan Yunhan's memories were stirred up again.
Last time in Jingzhou, it was the same brand, and the situation was exactly the same embarrassing.
Ruan Chen was present on both occasions.
Yan is actually pronounced "yè".
There are also leaf patterns on the cuffs.
Could this be a brand under the Ye family?
When did the Ye family enter the high-end luxury industry?
Before Ruan Yunhan could figure out whether these two incidents were related to the Ye family or Ruan Chen, the shop assistant's voice came from behind her, "Would you like to use a different card to pay?"
How much does this dress cost?
"Including the complete set of accessories, the total is thirty-eight million."
Even if Ruan Yunhan can get so much money, her status in the Ruan family is no longer what it used to be. How will Ruan Zhengde view her spending nearly 40 million on a dress?
But she was already in a difficult situation.
