"How about this dress?" Yang Mi took a cloth from the bed and showed it to Yulan, who shook her head. She didn't like the dresses because they were too short. That was an indecent cloth to put on in the public.
She wondered why YANG MI had so many of them in her wardrobe. There were different varieties of clothes.
Yulan's eyes traveled around the room . YANG MI bedroom wasn't bad at all. A bed was kept closed to the window. There was a desk and a computer. A wardrobe was located at the other end of the room.
"I don't like this" she answered, when YANG MI asked for her opinion. She was glad that she contributed instead of keeping quiet.
"This is the twenty-fifth gown you are rejecting Yulan" YANG MI said with annoyance. Due to the new girl's beauty, she thought she might have an idea of fashion.
"They don't look decent to me" Yulan told her.
"What? Was that the only reason I have to wear almost all the dresses in wardrobe?"
Yulan nodded. It's wasn't her fault that YANG MI gets to own only short dresses.
The door of the room opened and Ah Lam walked in to the room. She was surprised that the girls were yet to chose a dress.
Yang Mi's bed was covered with a lot of dresses. The wardrobe was flung opened while the hangers littered on the floor.
"You don't arrange the room , I always do. Did you see the way you disarranged your room ?" Ah Lam scolded picking up the hangers on the floor. She dropped them on the bed. This was the little help Yang Mi could get from her today.
"We haven't find the perfect dress mother" she answered, holding another dress.
"You should arrange your room and dress up for the party. You have an hour left. Yulan let's go downstairs" Ah Lam told her.
Yang Mi was a lazy girl. Her mother did most of the cleaning. When her elder brother was alive , he would help clean her room.
"No mother. Let Yulan stay. We will clean the room together" she said.
"Says who? Ah Lam glanced at her once again. Stand Yulan, let's leave the Madam's dirty room".
Yulan stood up and followed Ah Lam downstairs. She wanted to help YANG MI but, her mother was eldest member of the family.
She knew she had to obey Ah Lam.

He was going to take his bath when she blocked his way. Li Lian gave her a cold look. If only Chu Hua knew what was going on in his mind, she won't be playing games with him this evening. He tried again and she still obstruct his way.
"We can't continue like this Li Lian. Today is our anniversary and tomorrow is going to be like a normal day. You should drop this attitudes please" Chu Hua pleaded.
No response. Li Lian felt like pushing her away but he wasn't the type of husband that get violent with his wife. Women were delicate and he had come to respect them a lot.
He won't like it if his father hit or beat up his mother. For that, he wasn't going to lay a finger on her or any woman.
"Get out of my way Chu Hua, you are irritating me" Li Lian warned her.
"Are you still angry with me?" She threw her hands up in the air. "You want me to drop my dreams just to fulfil yours right ?" Chu Hua asked. She was been stubborn.
"Why is such a big deal to you? Chu Hua, you want me to squander billions just to make you and your friends happy?" Li Lian yelled. The jewelry store was going to make Chu Hua more famous that was the only reason she wanted this. He was ready to open a store for her but not the type she wanted.
She stared in to those blue eyes that turned silver when the light in the room shone at them. Chu Hua was not going to give up until she has the jewelry store.
The Wealthy women Association which was popularly known as WWA. This consist of the women who were from rich family or gotten married to the rich. Chu Hua was made the president of this Association. Many times, the women mocked her, that it was because of Li Lian's money she got the position. This troubled Her a lot and all she could think of was to own her personal business.
That was how the jewelry store idea came on track. But her dreams couldn't be fulfil because Li Lian refused to help or his help wasn't enough for her.
Chu Hua wanted him to sign a check worth billions just to open the store but he refused. According to Li Lian, his dream of opening a writing company was important and beneficial to the society. And of course, hers was going to benefit few.
Who cares?
If he wanted to help the society, he would have donated all his wealth to them instead.
"I will be in the bathroom. Get my clothes ready" Li Lian said, interrupting her thoughts.
Gosh! She slapped her forehead when he entered the bathroom. Her husband was more stubborn.
Chu Hua knew she had no choice but to agree with him. If Li Lian dares to misbehave at the party, this would ruin her image. Also the women were going to make mockery of her.
After all they were eagerly waiting for this opportunity.
