After waiting for a while, Yu Yan was still no there and the saleswoman started to become impatient. It was not easy getting a job at a big store like this, she had to be professional. Since these people were customers, she could not be rude. She could tell most of these women were noble ladies but it seemed like they were being treated by a normal person. Though richly dressed, there was no elegance or noble air around her. She was obviously trying to curry favour with the upper class using someone else money. Working at a place like this there was no end to people like her. Sure, she was wealthy but this was obviously too much for her. The saleswoman felt disgusted. She hated these kinds of people. Acting all high and mighty before commoners and submissively in front of the noble families. She could wait until now since the other customers were looking at clothes and not paying yet, but by the looks of it, someone else was ready to pay too.
"Customers, I cannot wait any longer. As you can see others are also waiting to pay."
Yun Feng, who had longe turned pale turned red out of rage and humiliation. How dare she, a mere saleswoman embarrass her in front of so many people?! But no matter what she could not pay that huge amount. If she did not buy anything for herself, she might still be able to pay. However, how could she say that? Would that not be admitting she did not have enough money? She would never be able to show her face again! That Yu Yan, where was she? How dare she put her in this position? She would definitely make her pay!
Gritting her teeth, she swallowed down the shame.
"I'm not buying these clothes anymore. Could you deduct the price?"
She said as she picked the ones she had chosen. From behind she could hear someone snicker. They were laughing at her! She felt utterly disgraced.
"Yun Feng, it can't be that you can't afford this much, right? If you don't have money, just say so. If not, wouldn't it look like we're bullying you? Why did you say you wanted to treat us, it's not like we can't afford this."
"Yun Feng trembled with rage but she could not afford to lash out at these people. She could only smile and reply.
"Of course not. I just remembered I had bought a lot of dresses this month and haven't had the chance to use them yet. It would be a waste to buy more than I could use. I'll still pay for the rest."
Yun Feng could only brace herself and pay the sum after deducting the dresses she had chosen. Thankfully she had enough to pay for the rest. She will make Yu Yan transfer the money to her later. Never had she felt so ashamed before. No longer in the mood to stay, she wanted to get as far away as possible. It felt like someone had ripped her heart apart and sucked her lifeblood out. This was all the money she had secretly saved up for years. With her current family situation, she might have to depend on herself for a while and can't afford to waste money.
When she made her way out of the store she found Yu Yan standing in a corner looking at her phone. All the anger she had been keeping down burst out. She strode forward and raised her hand ready to take out her anger on Yu Yan. Yu Yan had already aware of someone approaching and raised her head. Seeing the palm that was about to fall on her cheek, she raised her hand and stopped her.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"You! How dare you stop me?! What was I doing? What were you doing? Where have you been? How dare you make a laughing stock out of me?!" Yun Feng screamed in rage.
"Tch, I told you she was a scheming b***h."
"How shameless."
"I've never seen such a white lotus before." The ladies that had followed Yun Feng out started to mutter.
The whispers brought Yun Feng back to her senses. Her image! She acted like she was wronged as she talked on.
"Ah, look people are misunderstanding me now. Ah Yan I only lash out because I was worried. You said you would go to the bathroom and be back to pay. We waited so long for you, why didn't you come back? I was afraid something had happened to you. How could you be so irresponsible?"
"What are you talking about? I've been waiting for so long. Why did it take so long just to pay the bill? I didn't buy anything, of course, there's no need for me to go back to pay. If you were worried, you should've called me. I was just about to call you when you were ready to slap me." Yu Yan did not hold back. She exposed all of Yun Feng's lies.
Yun Feng felt naked, all her scheming was laid bare for all the passerby to see. Had she not been shamed enough today? How could Yu Yan make a laughingstock out of her?
"What are you talking about Ah Yan? Weren't you going to treat us all today? How can you go back on your words?"
Did she think her small act could help her reputation? How could Yu Yan let this chance go?
"When did I say that? Indeed, I always buy clothes for you, but today I didn't even know there were going to be more people than the two of us when you invited me out. Besides, didn't you say you wanted to treat everyone? How could I know you wanted me to pay like always?"
Yu Yan acted innocent as she shamelessly ruined Yun Feng's reputation with an innocent look. Wasn't that what Yun Feng had done to her in her last life?
People were pointing, whispering and snickering. Yun Feng that had always had things go her way could not bear the humiliation and ran off. She could not stay here a minute longer. Her reputation, her image all ruined. How could she mingle in the upper class now? How would she become the future madam Li?
