Chapter 124: The Intimidating Shangguan Ning (Part Three)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Shangguan Ning grinned and said. “I know, that’s exactly why I really need to buy this dress. I am a heartless woman, remember? Whether or not someone gets to keep his job has nothing to do with me. I only want the most beautiful dress.”

That Shangguan Zheng became the Mayor or not, was of no consequence to her. He would only become greedier and eye the next coveted political position, in the process using her as a means to get what he wanted. It might not be such a bad thing, if he lost his job, after all.

Shangguan Rouxue came to Ji Lili’s rescue quickly. “Lili, don’t be impulsive! My father is so devoted to his work. You mustn’t do that to him. My sister has been spoiled. That’s why she talks the way she does. If she has offended you somehow, I will apologize to you for her sake. Please, you are generally so tolerant. Please forgive her, alright?”

Shangguan Ning smiled. Shangguan Rouxue had started with her drama again. She was trying to act like she was a kind person and as if she really cared about her sister. Apologizing for her sake? Who was she to do that?

Mi Xiaoxiao stared at Shangguan Rouxue in astonishment. She had only seen her gentle and outgoing persona on television, but what she didn’t expect was that she was this kind of person in private.

From her behaviour, it seemed as if Rouxue really cared about Shangguan Ning, but if one were to give it a careful thought, it would make people realize that she was setting Shangguan Ning up.

Lili seemed quite scatterbrained too. She was easily swayed by someone else’s opinion. She had no mind of her own. Shangguan Ning was right in being annoyed with her.

Shangguan Rouxue’s pacifying words seemed to have worked. Ji Lili was less annoyed but she didn’t want to give away the dress she was wearing and she also wanted to get the other dress.

The saleswoman said awkwardly, “I apologise Madam. I am very sorry. This lady here holds the golden card of our mall – the holder of this card becomes the most important client, in all the stores of the mall. According to the regulations of our mall, her purchase gets first preference. If she ever files a complaint, our store will need to move out of this mall, the very next day. Please, just give her the dress. We have other dresses in our store, and you can pick whichever one you want. We will also give you 20 % discount on your purchase.”

Ji Lili, who had grown up with a sense of entitlement, had never known what it was like, to back down or give up in a fight.

Why must she have to give the clothes that she spotted first, to Shangguan Ning? She was someone who always got what she wanted. No one dare deprive her of something she had her eyes on.

In a fit of anger, she slapped the saleswoman who had done no wrong. She walked ahead and was about to slap Shangguan Ning too, when Shangguan Rouxue intervened and stopped her. “Lili, she is my sister, please don’t do that to her. Sister, please apologize to Lili, she saw the dress first and you shouldn’t have asked for it.”

Unmoved, Shangguan Ning said, “I gave up too many times in the past, but did it achieve anything? You ruined my mood today and I hope I ruined yours too. I want these two dresses, that’s definite!”

Ji Lili suddenly came up with a plan. She sneered and then pulled Shangguan Rouxue into the fitting room. She had changed into her own clothes when she came out. The lace dress that Shangguan Ning intended to buy was torn, Ji Lili had torn it right across its middle.

After she came out, she flung the clothes on the floor and stamped all over the garments. With her chin up, she said, “I don’t like this dress anymore. It’s torn now. You can have it.”

Shangguan Ning wasn’t annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled at the saleswoman. “If I remember correctly, according to the rules and regulations of the mall, if anyone damages any product intentionally, they would need to pay seven times the product value. Am I right?”

The saleswoman nodded at her gratefully. “You are right, Madam. This lady has ruined this outfit on purpose. Madam, you will need to pay seven times of the product price as compensation. There is nothing I can do about it. I have a record of everything on the cameras. If you don’t pay, I will have no choice but to call the police.”

Mi Xiaoxiao instigated Ji Lili further. She said to her, “Aha, looks like someone doesn’t have enough money, when they go out shopping. Don’t worry. I have 20 Yuan to spare. Do you want it?”

Ji Lili had had enough. She quickly pulled out her credit card from her new Chanel handbag and flung it on the sales woman’s face and screamed. “I have lots of money. Did I say no to pay for the damages? To hell with the police, you bitch!”

The saleswoman immediately swiped the card and reinstated, “This dress is worth 120,000 Yuan, so your compensation will be 840,000 Yuan. Please sign here. Thank you.”

Ji Lili signed her name in anger. She was rich, but she definitely didn’t have money to throw around. Money shouldn’t be wasted away like this. Besides, 840,000 Yuan wasn’t a small amount. It hurt to see it disappear, in the matter of a second.

It had all been Shangguan Ning’s fault!

It took Shangguan Rouxue ages to persuade Ji Lili to leave the store and go and look for another outfit in some other store. Ji Lili decided to leave, albeit reluctantly. She glared at Shangguan Ning as she walked out and swore to God that she was definitely going to avenge her insult.

When the two annoying women were gone, Mi Xiaoxiao went into the fitting room to try on the dress happily.

When she came out of the fitting room, Shangguan Ning smiled. “It’s very beautiful, as if it were tailor-made, just for you. No wonder it didn’t look good on someone else.”

Mi Xiaoxiao exchanged a smile with her, took the dress and paid for it. They left the store together.

In the parking lot, they ran into Xie Zhuojun who came to pick up Shangguan Rouxue and Ji Lili.

Xie Zhuojun was helping the two women put all their shopping bags into the trunk of the car. He was startled at the sight of Shangguan Ning.

Shangguan Ning was wearing a long, light purple dress and a pair of white flats. The breeze lifted the hem of her dress, exposing her beautifully proportioned calves.

She was so beautiful, like the first drop of crystal clear dew in the morning. She was flawless.

He called out to her, “Ning, you are here too...”

Before Xie Zhuojun could say anything further, Shangguan Rouxue interrupted him, saying, “Sister, Zhuojun has come to pick us up. Should we drop you somewhere, first?”

Ji Lili smirked and said, “Hahaha. Didn’t you say that you were married? What a pity! Your husband hasn’t even bothered to come and fetch you. Look at Xue, she is only engaged to be married, but her fiancé loves her so much. What a happy couple! The younger sister has done better than the older sister. Maybe that’s why Xie Zhuojun dumped you and cancelled his engagement with you. Sigh, Shangguan Ning, you really are a pathetic woman, who no one loves or cares for!”

Shangguan Rouxue pleaded with Ji Lili, “Please don’t say that, Lili. Sister will be sad... she has never been able to get over Zhuojun. Please don’t mention the past, otherwise sister will be angry with me again..”

“Xue, don’t plead for her! You and Xie Zhuojun love each other. What are you afraid of? He can protect you, can’t you, Xie Zhuojun?”

Xie Zhuojun had tried to avoid mentioning the past, because he really thought that they should let bygones be bygones, and he felt really guilty about it too. He had got engaged with Shangguan Ning first but fell for Xue later. He even slept with Xue, while he was still engaged with Ning, which made him feel worse.

Xie Zhuojun couldn’t help but get a bit upset at this moment, when Ji Lili brought up the past, so insensitively.
