Chapter 1202 Counterfeit.
While everyone was enjoying their moment in the dining hall, Li Xue caught sight of Sister Margaret. Putting her little one down, she turned to ask her, "Sister Margaret, sorry, I didn't see you standing there. Have you been standing for long?"
The old lady shook her head, "Nope, Madam. I came just now to inform you that there is a visitor for you."
"Visitor?" Li Xue asked, not remembering if there was anyone coming today. But since there have already been dozens of them here already, she might not have that difficulty with another. "Who is it, Sister Margaret?
"Madam, I am not sure. The person is there asking to meet you, saying that he is here to deliver you the dress that you have booked at their shop." The old lady said and her words instantly reminded Li Xue of the things that had slipped out of her remembrance.
Yes, last night, Chen Rui has called her saying that the dress would be directly delivered to her place.
"Oh, the dress has arrived." Li Xue spoke, quirking her brows before pulling her lips in an amiable smile to add, "Sister Margaret, please help me ask him to sit. I will be there soon." She said and nodding to her order, Sister Margaret left soon.
While Li Xue turned to look at Feng Yi Lan, ready to ask a quick excuse to leave and return soon. But her words paused when caught the displeased expression on her friend's face. "What happened? Now, why are you looking at me like that?"
She asked and pursing her lips, Feng Yi Lan just stared at her. "Girl, I know you might have your preferences over clothes. And not every time I want you to come to Aurora to shop around. But how the hell did you shop for something without giving it a try in my store? Do you know my designers have recently prepared such nice designs? And it would have immediately become of your liking if you have given my store a try?"
She said and Li Xue's head almost got dizzied by her twisted words. "Wait. Yi Lan, in all mentioned words of yours before, were you asking me why have I not come to Aurora and have gone somewhere else to shop?"
Feng Yi Lan squinted her eyes at her, waiting for her to realize on her own. But when she didn't see Li Xue realizing it, she sighed loudly before folding her arms over her front to say, "Of course. What else do you think? You are my friend. If not you, with whom should I expect this small support?"
Li Xue could really not believe it. Her friend, the younger daughter of the prestigious Feng family, Feng Yi Lan was showing displeasure over such a small thing. Her support? How could it even be important? At her one say, she doubts more than a hundred of rich and loaded people would be there to support and promote her.
She could no longer find the logic in her words, so not pondering over it more, she said very softly, with a tone that people would love to hear. "Yi Lan, that's just one dress which I won't think would matter. I have just bought it to wear to the royal meet. Furthermore, believe me, if it has just me who has gone out to shop, I would have chosen Aurora to come first."
"But yesterday, I was out with Ma. And she took me to that shop as it was her friend's store and she liked the designs there better." Li Xue said but her words didn't ease Yi Lan that fast.
Instead, Feng Yi Lan simply hmphed to ask in her childish arrogance. "Huh? I could accept that you might be having a tough time there since you were with Her Highness. But what was so high about the store? Was it of some exclusive designer?"
Li Xue pinched the space between her brows as she shook her head. "Nope, I don't think it was the store opened by some designer. It was simply a store that ships and sells some good designs. That's it." She said and her words further pinched Feng Yi Lan's nerves.
Laughing out with some hint of mockery, Feng Yi Lan stared at Li Xue with a serious face to say, "See, I knew it. But you got fooled. The stores that work like this aren't genuine. They rip off their customers by selling the counterfeit design or the cheap designs that didn't sell abroad."
She said and Li Xue understood what she was trying to do. Taking a deep breath in, she cooly said, "Yi Lan, it's just a dress. Let's not think about it so much. Furthermore, I don't think that store was swindling us. The dress we got is really good and it looks genuine."
She said and sensing some favoritism in the tone of Li Xue, Feng Yi Lan pouted more. "Like really, Xue? You know it better than me? I have been in this industry." She said and Li Xue just shook her head, denying it.
"I didn't mean it like that Yi Lan. We can …"
"Enough, Xue, you don't have to speak more about that store. The more you will say, the more I will feel bad about it. Why not take me with you? I will see the dress myself and try to find what made you such a fan of their designs." Feng Yi Lan suggested, interrupting Li Xue halfway.
Li Xue could only purse her lips at her words. Fan of their designs? When did she say something like that?
She wanted to retort. But unfortunately, she knew that retorting over the matter would bring out nothing. So, nodding, she agreed, "Fine, then come with me. They are already here with the dress. You can see it and help me check genuinity as well." She said before they both walked outside the dining hall, strolling straight to the living space where the person was waiting while sitting on the sofa.
Behind, Qi Shuai also followed holding WeiWei's hands into his. He wasn't surprised to hear Li Xue calling Her Highness as her mother because he knew it from before. It was him who has helped Feng Shufen find about it and now, Li Xue also knew it. So, it was good.
