Chapter 499: Chapter 499

This painting style is somewhat bizarre, ah. One is the ex-girlfriend from when my cousin was preparing to get married, one is my cousin’s current wife, and then there’s Mai Qiqi who once pursued my cousin. She just changed her clothes, how did they all come together?

Jiang Lingling blinked as she watched Wan Chu’er and Wei Feng, pondering who she should help if the two were to fight.

Logically, she should help her cousin-in-law, who is closer to her, and she can feel Wan Chu’er’s kindness towards her. However, Wei Feng used to treat her very well too, often buying her gifts.

If Wan Chu’er knew Jiang Lingling’s thoughts, she would scoff. Fight, does she need help?!

However, not knowing the girl’s thoughts, Wan Chu’er subconsciously ignored her probing expression and question, slightly raising her chin and casually remarked, "Your daughter is indeed not bad."

Actually, the dress on Jiang Lingling wasn’t necessarily perfect, but when it was worn by Jiang Lingling, it presented a perfect union.

The dress better accentuated Jiang Lingling’s strong points, even lifting the wearer’s spirit to another level. Jiang Lingling also carried the dress very well, not merely as a clothes rack. The mutual enhancement of the two was probably the best way a dress could present itself.

It has to be said, Jiang Lingling’s eye for fashion is really good, she indeed has talent in this area – a thought quickly flashed through Wan Chu’er’s mind.

Being so addressed by Wan Chu’er, Jiang Lingling felt a jolt in her heart. The cousin-in-law must be reminding her that whether she can take the dress home today thoroughly depends on the cousin-in-law. The dress is not cheap, with several rubies embedded at the waist, priced at two hundred thousand.

It seems like the most expensive gift Wei Feng ever gave her was never over ten thousand.

Thinking this way, Jiang Lingling immediately straightened out her position. Today, she is her cousin-in-law’s little follower. If Sister Wei Feng and the cousin-in-law really were to fight, she would definitely stand by her cousin-in-law’s side. At worst, she could find another opportunity to apologize to Sister Wei Feng later.

Seeing that Wan Chu’er appeared indifferent and not intending to chat, Wei Feng felt somewhat sour in her heart, but quickly her face blossomed into a warm smile.

"Lingling, you’re here too? Long time no see. Jiayi and I just arrived, we bumped into you guys by chance. Jiayi just went to try on some clothes." She first explained why she was there, and then with a bend of her eyebrows, she praised the dress Jiang Lingling was wearing:

"That dress is really nice, very fitting for your temperament. The cut and color are among the trendiest elements this year, the rubies on it are also top-grade in color and shape."

One could tell at a glance that Wei Feng was very familiar with luxury goods. Her words were spot on, gaining more favor than Wan Chu’er’s brief "not bad." Thus, Jiang Lingling immediately engaged in a lively discussion with Wei Feng.

When Wei Feng learned that Wan Chu’er would be paying for the dress, she was taken aback. She knew the price of the dress, and it didn’t occur to her that Wan Chu’er could be so generous.

Soon, she concluded that Wan Chu’er must be trying to win over Jiang Lingling, her eyes flickered slightly. Today, Jiayi was also here, and in the past, Jiang Lingling has always looked up to Jiayi.

The two were deeply engrossed in their conversation when Mai Qiqi leaned towards Wan Chu’er and whispered with a laugh, "There’s sure to be a good show later."

Wan Chu’er turned to give her a glance, her expression unchanging as she uttered a sentence that immediately froze Mai Qiqi’s schadenfreude smile.

"Your mom called me asking for Chen Ke’s contact. Should I give it or not? Will there be a good show to watch too?"

Mai Qiqi pushed her, "Don’t start trouble, alright? My mom is just messing around."

Wan Chu’er pursed her lips with a smile, and when she turned her head, she saw Lin Jiayi and Jiang Xiaoxiao coming out of the fitting room one after the other.

Lin Jiayi and Jiang Xiaoxiao were dressed identically, and since both had long hair and were cousins, their faces also bore some resemblance, drawing everyone’s gaze in the store onto them.

As they watched, the crowd began to notice a slight difference; due to her pregnancy, Jiang Xiaoxiao had an extra touch of maternal sanctity about her. The clothing looked just right on her, complementing both the dress and the wearer.

Lin Jiayi usually styled herself as a vivacious and amiable lady; wearing this outfit emphasized her gentle nature. Although she looked good, it didn’t have quite the same effect on her as it did on Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Wan Chu’er and Mai Qiqi both praised Jiang Xiaoxiao, saying, "This dress seems tailor-made for you." Even Jiang Lingling agreed the dress was nice.

Looking at her beautiful reflection in the mirror, Jiang Xiaoxiao turned slightly, revealing a heart-shaped cut-out on her back. Her pale skin peeked through, and she couldn’t help thinking that Xiao Bai would surely love it if he saw her.

"Sister-in-law, thanks for your recommendation, I’ll take this dress," said Jiang Xiaoxiao as she called for the sales assistant to process her purchase and then went back into the fitting room.

Lin Jiayi, though smiling, felt a twinge of annoyance; everyone was fawning over Jiang Xiaoxiao while she only had Wei Feng by her side, not even her clingy cousin Jiang Lingling.

Lin Jiayi’s gaze landed on Jiang Lingling’s dress, her eyes lit up, and she raised her voice, "Lingling, that dress on you looks very nice."

Upon hearing her cousin’s compliment, Jiang Lingling smiled, walked over to Lin Jiayi, twirled around, and said joyfully, "Yes, it’s like a dream come true."

"I quite like that dress too," Lin Jiayi responded with a smile. Then she called over a sales assistant, "Miss, could you please find me the same dress?"

Jiang Lingling’s smile abruptly froze on her face, and she looked dumbfounded at her cousin.

"I’m sorry, but this is the last piece of this dress," the sales assistant said apologetically.

"What about your other stores? The flagship store in Shanghai? Please arrange to get me one," Lin Jiayi requested politely.

"I apologize, this dress is a globally limited edition, and this is the last piece in the Greater China region."

Lin Jiayi was somewhat disbelieving and after repeated confirmations, she was informed that if she really wanted it, she could fly to the European headquarters to get it, where two pieces were still available.

Jiang Lingling felt a hint of foreboding and turned to head back to the fitting room without a word, thinking it was best to pay and leave quickly. Chapters first released on novel·fıre·net

Lin Jiayi saw Jiang Lingling’s hurried departure but said nothing; she just looked closely at the dress on Lingling, which indeed looked good. As it swayed with her movements like gentle waves, it was truly elegant. If she wore it to the banquet in three days, she would surely dazzle everyone.

Meanwhile, Wan Chu’er stood by the counter, asking the store’s sales assistant to process her payment and package, including Jiang Xiaoxiao’s dress and Jiang Lingling’s skirt.
