"Welcome to QY! How may I help you?" A polite sales associate immediately came up and asked gently.
"Hello, my fiancée is attending an important dinner tonight. Do you have any suitable dresses or jewelry for her?" Gao Yang asked.
"Of course! Every QY design is one-of-a-kind globally. It will definitely make your girlfriend outshine everyone!" The sales associate led the way up front. "This way please."
"Your store is quite spacious..." Lu Muyan noticed that even the neighboring LV only occupied 3 storefronts. She didn't expect QY to be so extravagant, taking up 20 all at once. "Your rent here must be very high, right?"
"Rent-free." The sales associate smiled politely. "QY has officially partnered with Sishi. This is Sishi's sincerity."
Sincerity??
Wasn't Sishi a bit too generous, waiving rent on 20 premium storefronts just like that...
Lu Muyan suddenly felt a bit envious. Able to partner with Sishi, QY's future was bright. Not like her Lu family's current predicament, with those major consortiums already cutting ties with them!
Just thinking about it was disheartening.
"Over here is our dress section. May I give some recommendations or would you like to browse yourself?"
"I'll look myself!" Lu Muyan couldn't resist running her hand over the new designs. She could already imagine how she would look wearing them, definitely able to shine tonight.
"Muyan, how about this one? Want to try it on?" Gao Yang had just taken out a halter dress to hand to her.
Lu Muyan was immediately interested. If she could buy such a beautiful dress and take it home...
Suddenly, she had an idea. If she bought it under Gao Yang's name, and secretly wore it herself, QY probably wouldn't find out, right?
With a brand as huge as QY, could they really track her daily activities?
She would only secretly wear it tonight...
Thinking this, she went to the fitting room, then came out after a while.
Gao Yang saw her wearing the pink halter dress, looking delicate and touching. He was just looking her over when his peripheral vision suddenly noticed a familiar figure.
Qing Yan??
How could she be here??
"Brother Gao Yang..." Lu Muyan noticed his gaze and also looked over. Her expression instantly soured. How could Qing Yan be here? This was a place she could afford?
Judging by her outfit, she didn't seem to be working here either. Could it be that with the money her dad had compensated her last time, she came shopping? Or did some rich benefactor bring her out shopping and splurging?
Thinking this, Lu Muyan looked left and right but didn't see Qing Yan's benefactor. She felt a little disappointed.
Qing Yan's gaze noticed their presence. She thought, how unlucky. She was just about to leave when Lu Muyan softly called her "sister".
This address attracted the attention of several nearby.
"I finally ran into you today. No matter what, you can't make the same mistake again! If there's anything you want to buy, just tell Dad. He will buy them for you! Don't do foolish things outside anymore, okay?"
As she spoke, she even wanted to walk over and take Qing Yan's hand, wanting to act out a touching sisterly scene.
Unexpectedly, Qing Yan maintained her distance, her gaze showing displeasure. "Was the lesson last time not enough?"
"Sister, even if you threaten me, hit me afterwards, I still can't just watch you go astray..."
"I've gone astray?"
"There are so many people here. Do you want me to say in front of them how you are being kept by several benefactors, so you can afford to shop at QY..."
Lu Muyan didn't get to finish speaking when Qing Yan raised her hand and firmly slapped her across the face.
"Qing Yan—" Gao Yang didn't expect her to dare slap Muyan in front of so many people. He was angry instantly!
She must be jealous.
Jealous that he chose Muyan instead of her. Jealous that he accompanied Muyan shopping instead of her!
Jealous that he had pursued her persistently before, yet disappeared without a trace!
After being slapped, one side of Lu Muyan's face was swollen, her hair a mess. She was furious to the point of madness!
Hearing the commotion, a sales associate hurried over and asked, "Dear customers, what happened? What's going on?"
"I remember Miss Lu seems to not have the qualifications to purchase QY products?" Qing Yan suddenly said.
At this, everyone was shocked speechless, even the sales associate was stunned. Could this Miss Lu be on their blacklist? If that was true, how did she dare step in here?
"It was you..." Lu Muyan suddenly realized, she had guessed that QY wouldn't blacklist her for no reason. It must have been Qing Yan using Ting Yun's identity, stepping in to make QY do this...
Otherwise, why would QY make things difficult for a small customer like her??
"This Miss Lu's conduct is inappropriate. QY has already blacklisted her. Check if you don't believe it."
Hearing this, the hurried over store manager quickly said, "I'm sorry Miss, please take off that dress and return it to us immediately."
"What blacklist? What does that mean?" Gao Yang was angry.
In front of everyone, his fiancée was asked to take off her dress, equivalent to a slap in his face!
He angrily defended, "My fiancée has always been a loyal QY fan. On the contrary, this person, you guys believe her after just a few words? Let me tell you, I'm buying this dress today no matter what!"
The store manager respectfully said, "Sorry Sir, blacklisted customers do not have purchase rights. Please don't make things difficult for us."
"Who did you say is a blacklisted customer?"
"Of course it's this young lady right here."
Gao Yang didn't expect the store manager to believe Qing Yan's words so much. "Do you have evidence? You believe whatever she says? If she said I was a blacklisted customer, would you believe it too?"
"Yes." The store manager enunciated word for word firmly, "As long as she said it, we would believe it."
"..." This was the first time Gao Yang had met someone like this, yet he was powerless against her! After all, this was their store!
The people who could shop here were all upper class. He absolutely could not become a laughingstock today, otherwise if it spread as a joke after going back, the Gao family would lose all face!
No matter what, he had to get justice today!
Gao Yang sneered coldly, "Then tell me, how did my fiancée become a blacklisted customer?"
The store manager looked at Qing Yan after being stumped by his question.
"Brother Gao Yang, forget it. I'll just take the dress off..." Lu Muyan was afraid Qing Yan would reveal the truth. She said tearfully, about to leave.
But Gao Yang was determined today to get an explanation for her! He grasped her hand, not letting her leave.
Qing Yan lifted her lips in a cold smile. "Hasn't your fiancée told you? At the awards ceremony last time, dressed fully in QY, she was found to have violated rules. QY felt she desecrated the brand and blacklisted her. Ask her if you don't believe it."
With this, the whole venue erupted in commotion.
Heavens, didn't expect this delicate Lu Miss to actually dare violate rules!
No one should violate rules or desecrate brands. This was very inappropriate behavior.
