Chapter 805: 804: In a Hurry to Reincarnate? Worried You Won't Have a Life to Spend Your Money?
A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce
âIâm not exactly unwell, but I really donât have any energy. I went to Ancient Martial Town and brought back a doctor who could help me with the coldness within my body. He gave me some medicinal bath herbs, and after soaking in it, I felt completely drained.â
âOn top of that, exerting myself yesterday took a lot of physical strength. Today I feel uncomfortable all over. Could you go upstairs and fetch the evening gown I need for tonightâ¦â
Wen Xin adjusted the clothes on her body and curled up in the back seat of the car, showing no intention of getting out.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Wen Xin, whose complexion didnât look very good, and responded indifferently. She picked up her coat that had been thrown onto the passenger seat and tossed it to Wen Xin.
âCover yourself with this. Iâll go get your gown, but it may take a bit longer. I will buy two suitable outfits. These flashy clothes donât quite suit me anymore!â
These words caused the previously listless Wen Xin, who had her eyes closed, to slowly open them and look at her. Though she didnât speak, her facial expression said it all.
Leaving Wen Xin alone in the car, Chu Yunxuan entered the shopping mall, selected a few decent outfits, and then headed to the Flower House boutique.
Flower House had settled in Beijingâs largest mall half a year ago, and its daily customer traffic was almost equal to that of other high-end brands in a month.
As soon as Chu Yunxuan walked into the store, the clerk recognized her at a glance and enthusiastically approached her.
âMiss Chu, are you here to look at clothes? Our latest winter collection is right here. Please follow me.â
The clerk tried to lead Chu Yunxuan inside, but she did not follow.
âThereâs no need. Iâm here to pick up Wen Xinâs evening gown. Sheâs not feeling well, so she hasnât come.â
Chu Yunxuan glanced at the other customers around and spoke to the clerk in a gentle tone.
âI see. Miss Wenâs gown is already prepared for her. Iâll go get it for you right now.â The clerk turned and went eagerly to fetch Wen Xinâs evening gown for Chu Yunxuan.
As the clerk turned away, she accidentally collided with Jiang Linyan, who was walking toward her. Jiang Linyan let out a delicate cry and without thinking, fell backwards.
The clerk, who had bumped into someone, immediately went to check if Jiang Linyan was injured after seeing her fall.
âIâm so sorry, miss. I was too reckless just now, not noticing you were right behind me, and I bumped into you. I truly apologize!â
The clerk looked at Jiang Linyan, who was sitting on the ground and breaking out in a cold sweat on her forehead. For a moment, she didnât know what to do.
Jiang Linyan sat on the ground, looked at the tense clerk, supported her head with one hand, and gave an over-exaggerated performance of being dizzy.
âOh my, my head is spinning. You bumped into me and all of a sudden, I felt faintâ¦â
After Jiang Linyan finished speaking, the clerk was almost brought to tears by her words. The collision wasnât intentional, how could she have hurt her head?
Chu Yunxuan, standing aside, clearly saw Jiang Linyanâs action. Initially, she didnât want to get involved, fearing her impulsive behavior would make matters worse.
But now⦠it seemed she had no choice but to intervene. This person was overacting without any scruples.
Just as Chu Yunxuan was about to step forward, the store manager hurriedly came out from inside.
When the store manager saw Jiang Linyan lying on the floor, her expression grew even more unsightly, and she quickly went over to crouch beside Jiang Linyan.
âMiss Jiang, are you alright? Do you need me to call an ambulance for you?â
Hearing the store managerâs words, Jiang Linyan sat up abruptly from the ground, looking annoyed at the store manager, âWhat, is this the kind of service your store offers? Do you even want to continue operating in Beijing?â
Suddenly, Jiang Linyanâs tone underwent a drastic change, from a delicate and injured persona to one with an overbearing aura.
âMiss Jiang, I know you came here today to create trouble on purpose, but we really canât sell you that dressâitâs a special custom-made piece, not something you can just decide to have.â
So the store manager gently explained to Jiang Linyan, not wanting to offend a young lady of her status, yet⦠faced with such a troublesome customer, there really was no choice.
âMiss Jiang, please stand up so we can talk this over. We know tonightâs gala is extremely important to you, and the gown weâve offered you is the highest-grade one available, even higher-end than the one you likedâ¦â
While listening to the store managerâs explanation, Jiang Linyan, who was sitting on the ground, let out a cold snort, âAll old foxes, what ghost stories are you trying to sell me here? The dress I want is clearly more upscale than the ones youâve shown meâ¦â
âSince you claim that dress isnât as good as the others youâve shown me, then let her change. I can pay the difference, or even let her pick any dress from Huoluo for free, as long as sheâs willing to give up that dress. Iâll cover the bill!â
Watching Jiang Linyan speak with such a show of wealth, Chu Yunxuan sitting to the side let out a disdainful chuckle.
âDoes having a bit of money make you lose all sense of direction? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated that you wonât live to spend it? That you have to be so arrogant?â
âWho are you? Is this a place for you to speak?â
Upon hearing Chu Yunxuanâs mocking voice, Jiang Linyan stood up from the ground, marched over to her with a furious momentum, and upon seeing her in clothes without any brand name, sneered scornfully.
âI thought it was someone of substance. Turns out youâre just a country bumpkin. The total cost of your clothes doesnât even add up to a thousand yuan. How laughable.â
The girls following behind Jiang Linyan walked up next to her and looked Chu Yunxuan up and down with a mocking tone.
âExactly, where did this pauper come from? What right does she have to be here? Manager, kick this person out!â
Another woman, relying on her good relationship with Jiang Linyan, got overly excited and, seizing the moment, immediately stood up for her.
âManager, it seems Flower House really doesnât want to do business anymore, allowing this kind of destitute woman to appear here, really lowers the class of the place. Kick her out quickly and donât affect our shopping mood!â
The womanâs voice was like that of a sparrow â incessantly attacking Chu Yunxuan and urging the store manager to kick her out.
âEnough, we at Flower House wonât be doing business with you ladies today. If Miss Jiang has the power to make our name known throughout Beijing, we accept that. Ladies, please do as you please!â
The manager couldnât hold back any longer, took a deep breath, and spoke loudly and indifferently, having entirely lost any trace of deference.
At this point, four men in black emerged from the back resting room and appeared in front of Jiang Linyan, gesturing for her to leave.
