Chapter 1254 One should never poke and wake a sleeping disaster.
Soon after the saleswoman went to call in the store manager, a man came out in hurried steps. Maybe on the way here, he was being informed of everything that happened.
Walking near his eyes turned to look at the two ladies. One glance at Zhang Xiaotong was enough to tell, that she was furious while on the other side, Li Xue looked really composed in her stance. It was just that with the look of eight men behind her, it looked like she was also not the person one could get messed up with.
Weighing the scale on both sides, the manager quickly turned to approach Zhang Xiaotong first. Not because he deemed Li Xue any less but because he thought Li Xue could understand better than the other arrogant high-class lady. Also, while coming here, the saleswoman has made sure to let him know the temperament of the two ladies.
"Madam, my apologies for the inconvenience you suffered. But there is something …" The store manager was in the middle of his words when Zhang Xiaotong interrupted with disinterest.
"I am not interested to hear you talk silly now. I already said what I need here. Warp this dress up fast." She said and just based on her words one could say that she was not in the mood to compromise. So, like the saleswoman, he also turned to look at Li Xue with an expectation of help.
And this time, Li Xue really had enough. Not feeling herself to take it for long anymore, she took a deep breath in before asking in a really serious tone, "Are you the store manager here?"
The manager was taken aback but nodded eventually. "Yes, Madam. We are sorry for the inconvenience that you faced here, but please we can only expect you to give a bit of cooperation. Since this lady has been too interested in taking this dress, please be a bit understanding, and …" He knew what he was saying was wrong so, no matter how much he felt desperate, he wasn't able to complete his words.
Li Xue was amused to see how efficient Zhang Xiaotong was in making that impression on people. She couldn't deny it, but she could say that in terms of a rich, spoiled, arrogant lady, none could be a match for her. Or to be more exact, she could say that even ten rich, arrogant and bratty ladies wouldn't together be able to constitute one like her.
But anyways, her arrogance was not something she was interested in taking. So, looking back at the store manager, she said, "Can I ask you what made you think that I would be understanding of her demands? Not like I am her mother who has to look after her obsessions. This piece is something I like and I decided to take it. Hence, I would take it."
She said as she turned to look at Zhang Xiaotong.
"But Madam, …" The manager looked at the two ladies and was about to say something more when Li Xue turned to look at him with a snap. Her ambers turned solemn that halted the man in his words.
"Mr. Store Manager, do you really think you can compel me? This dress is the piece of the couple's outfit created together. How do you think that I would allow anyone to get the other piece after I bought one of its parts for my husband? And since I already ordered that before, both technically and also factly, this piece would also be bought by me, whether you want it or not. So, it would be better if you quickly help me settle it." Li Xue said before, pulling her hands up to check the time. "Since it's already late, I don't think I can wait here enough."
This was the first time in all this while that Li Xue had raised her voice and the intimidation in her tone was very clear. One might have rightly said that it was scary to poke a sleeping disaster.
Zhang Xioatong was also stunned. All this while, she thought that she had an upper hand. But it was only now that she knew that Li Xue had her plans that she had been very well confiding in. Her fingers clenched on the sides as turning to the side, she glared at her. But her eyes dimmed looking at the man who was staring at her with all alertness. As if one move from her would make them come forward instantly in protection.
"Aren't you being too arrogant?" Zhang Xiaotong sneered feeling the struggle with her anger inside.
Li Xue stared at her before giving a soft, nonchalant chuckle, "Am I, Ms. Zhang? Thanks, I have been just learning by looking around. Anyway, if you allow, I would make a move first. I still have a husband and child, which I need to return to. Hope you won't mind." She deliberately said before gesturing to the store manager to help her with the dress. Since she had already explained all her knowledge about the dress, it was already proved who was actually the one buying it. Now neither the other lady could refute, nor him.
So, nodding, he gestured to the salesperson to help her with the bill. The woman nodded and quickly took the dress to the billing counter. But just when she was about to pass the dress to the billing counter, Zhang Xiaotong interrupted with her words, not just surprising her but almost everyone in the store.
"Give me this piece, Li Xue, and I will pay you the price you like."
Those words didn't make sense. Didn't the lady have 8 men following her, how could she lack money? Wasn't this just humiliation targeting her way?
The saleswoman paused in her movements as if waiting to see what Li Xue had to say. But a moment passed, and Li Xue didn't turn, nor did she react. But after a moment her voice came, laced with full mockery.
"And what made Ms. Zhang feel that I could be the one to lack money?"
Zhang Xiaotong's lips tugged up on a corner forming her lips in the shape of a smirk, she said, "You know better than me. I am talking about the money which you have earned. After all, you can't get Brother FenFen a gift bought from his money." She said and Li Xue stared at her with some thought.
But then shaking her head along with her words, she turned to look at the billing counter. "I have had enough time here. Please help me bill it fast." She said and the staff nodded at the counter before moving to make the bill.
Once settled, the staff showed her the bill. As expected, the figures were no less than seven digits. When Li Xue saw it, she nodded and went to look into her purse to get her card out. But just when she was about to take the card out, she paused with thought. She could feel the burning gaze of the woman still on her and knew what she was trying to do.
Just when she was about to pull out the card, her thoughts changed. Switching it in her purse, the next moment she pulled out a black card that stunned everyone around.
Not to doubt almost everyone knew what that black card refers to. Zhang Xiaotong was also dumbfounded. She knew that Li Xue might have the money of Feng Shufen, but she never expected her to carry his black card. After all, this black card was not something simple.
