238 Not up for sale
LX Designs was located at most posh and the busiest streets in the whole city. It was a large store with a big 'LX Designs' carved beautifully at the front with wings and starts included in the designs. Many beautiful dresses could be seen from the glass window tempting people to go inside and purchase them.
It was the daytime when Li Roulan went with her mother Yu Rushi to the shop. There were a few people who were walking on the street. Li Roulan carefully got down with her mother from the car. Few people stopped by when they saw a big car outside the shop. It one of the most expensive cars so many people knew that some big shots must be inside the car.
It was now very common for the people to see their favorite superstars or some famous rich people outside this shop since the day of that fashion show. Many paparazzi would lurk around in the corner to get photos of these superstars. Some people would go and ask for a few photos with the actor or actresses while some would ask for their autographs.
Now when Li Roulan got down from the car with her mother, she was wearing this beautiful pink and yellow floral knee-length dress. Her hair was tried up beautifully in a messy ponytail. It was a stunningly fresh look that could brighten up anybody's day.
Many people recognized Li Roulan and they screamed in joy asking her to take a few pictures with them. Li Roulan smiled as he toon a few photographs with them and then she entered the shop.
Madam Li gasped in awe when she got inside the shop. "Wow, Roulan these dresses are so beautiful."
"I know mother." Li Roulan smiled. Her eye lit up at every dress she saw. She couldn't take her eyes off from these dresses as she wanted to buy each and every one of them. That night when she saw Li Xiaolu wearing that beautiful red gown, she was so jealous. What couldn't that be her?
Why was it that orphan who got to wear that beautiful dress and walk on that ramp?
That night Li Roulan had fixed in her heart that she would only wear a wedding dress designed by LX and will make everybody remember her and not that orphan. She wanted everybody's eyes on her.
Now when they were standing inside the shop, a saleswoman made her way towards them. She had recently joined the shop and today was her first day.
"Hello, Mrs. Li and Miss Li. How may I help you?" she asked politely. This was her first customer and she was extremely excited to do her job properly.
"We want to select a wedding gown for me." Li Roulan informed.
The saleswomen nodded as she led them towards a section where there different and beautiful wedding gowns where placed. Walking towards that section Li Roulan and Yu Rushi were in awe of every dress that they saw.
"Wow... These are quite beautiful." Li Roulan praised.
Li Roulan smiled getting that praise. Now as she and her mother were looking through the wedding gowns, they didn't notice one thing that every person working in the shop was constantly glancing towards their way. There were even a few workers whispering to each other.

Li Roulan and Yu Rushi were completely oblivious to this they happily selected a gown. It was a beautiful white and pink gown with flower applique on it. It was an off-shoulder floor-length gown with a long slit in it. The back was beautiful with some crystals adorned on it, in a zig-zag pattern.
Li Roulan instantly fell in love with the dress when she tried it. Yu Rushi also loved it and hence they decided to buy it.
"We will take this." Li Roulan said to the timid women. The saleswoman nodded with a smile as she told another worker to help then with the dress while she led Li Roulan and Yu Rushi towards the center.
When the lady at the counter saw Li Roulan and Mrs. Li she frowned. Looking at them she said, "Sorry, Miss Li Roulan but the dress you want isn't up for sale."
Li Roulan arched an eyebrow at them. "What? What do you mean?"
"Miss Li Roulan we have to disappoint you but we cannot sell you that dress." The lady said politely.
"Why?" Yu Rushi interjected with a frown. "My daughter loves that dress and we want to but it. No matter how much the price is, we want that dress."
"But ma'am that dress is really not up for sale." The lady at the counter said.
''But ma'am that dress arrived in the shop in the morning then how come it is not available for sale?" The saleswomen asked. There were not given any instructions for stopping any buyers from buying that dress. She knew it was up for sale. And since she knew that Li's were one of the richest people in the city and hence she showed them that dress.
So why were they not selling it? The new saleswoman was confused.
Hearing her words Yu Rushi frowned, "What do you mean by this? When nobody has bought that dress then why is it not up for sale? Is this how you treat your customers? If it is not up for sale, then you shouldn't have displayed it in the first place..."
