Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Sisi, do you know who Master Yalin is?” Chen Anna whispered into Qiao Sisi’s ear.
Qiao Sisi snapped, “I’m not ignorant. Of course I know who she is. A renowned jewelry designer who designs only a few pieces of jewelry.”
Master Yalin was quite famous in the industry. Most importantly, she designed only limited edition jewelry, so every piece was sought after.
This Tears of the Mermaid was probably similar.
Qiao Sisi did not have that much spare money. She came to Lanxing Pavilion with the intention of viewing the exhibits. She could not afford to buy any.
As the two chatted, a few female customers arrived at Lanxing Pavilion.
Chen Anna frowned and turned around to look at the people who just came in. Her face was full of disdain as she tugged at Qiao Sisi’s sleeve.
“Sisi, there’s an unexpected guest.” f reeweb novel.com
Qiao Sisi came back to her senses and looked at the people who had just arrived. She saw a familiar person.
Dressed in a white slim waist dress, she was wearing makeup that she thought was gorgeous and a pair of high heels. It was their sworn enemy—Yang Yueyue.
There were also a few other women who were dressed in a similar fashion. They were probably friends.
Qiao Sisi sighed and could not help tapping her forehead.?How troublesome running into her,?she thought.
Now Yang Yueyue had obviously noticed the two of them. The smile instantly vanished from her face.
......
“Why are you two here?!” A sharp female voice sounded.
Chen Anna shook her head in exasperation. “Why, Miss Yang, are you the only one allowed to come here?
Are you kidding me? This is a public place, and you’re still acting like a big missy.”
Yang Yueyue’s face darkened. There was a glint in her eyes as she looked at Qiao Sisi. She curled her lips into a mocking smile. “Tch, who is this that I see? Isn’t she the mistress who snatched Zhang Li’s boyfriend? And now she has hooked up with my cousin. Wow, her tactics are highly effective.”
Although Zeng Qing had been jailed and Zhang Li had abandoned him, this name was revolting.
Moreover, Zheng Zeyi had introduced Qiao Sisi as his fiancée at the party previously. As Yang Yueyue recalled the incident, she got quite angry.
After what she said, the atmosphere in Lanxing Pavilion became tense.
The gazes of many female customers fell on them but they merely took a glance and then moved away, one after another.
Qiao Sisi sneered as her disgust for Yang Yueyue increased.
“Yang Yueyue, stop spouting nonsense with your big mouth. We both know what happened. Zeng Qing deserved what he got. Why? Are you envious of me?
Besides, I’m your cousin-in-law now. Please watch your attitude when you talk to me!”
She emphasized the last few words in a mocking manner.
Zheng Zeyi had given her a good identity. Since she could use it to anger Yang Yueyue now, why not?
The two of them were arch-enemies to begin with and did not get along well in school, so there was no need to be sensitive to her feelings.
Yang Yueyue was burning with anger. She frowned and her sharp voice echoed through the entire Lanxing Pavilion. “Qiao Sisi, you b*tch. You’re the one talking nonsense. My cousin must be bewitched by you!”
Instantly, the entire Lanxing Pavilion fell silent as they watched this farce unfold.
A woman who was with Yang Yueyue saw this and a hint of emotion flashed across her eyes. She quickly stood up to be a mediator.
She patted Yang Yueyue’s back and said, “Alright, Yueyue, don’t be angry. Some people have no proper upbringing. We don’t want to be ill-breds like them. Can’t believe that they’re here at Lanxing Pavilion. Don’t they know that this is not a place for them?”
The meaning of her words was obvious.
Anger welled up in Qiao Sisi’s heart, but she maintained a calm expression.
She had seen many people who supported the strong and trampled on the weak.
Chen Anna raised her eyebrows and laughed in anger. “Do you really think that Lanxing Pavilion is run by your family? After talking so much, you’re just useless.”
“Forget it, forget it, Anna. Let’s not argue with someone who’s crazy. After all, I’m her cousin-in-law.” Qiao Sisi shook her head in frustration.
The two of them echoed each other, leaving Yang Yueyue and her friend a little dumbfounded.
Yang Yueyue gritted her teeth and said, “Qiao Sisi, just you wait. One day, I will teach you a lesson.”
This was the kind of person who would definitely take revenge.
Qiao Sisi did not mind at all. She even smiled and nodded. “Alright, cousin-in-law, I’ll wait for you.”
Yang Yueyue was so angry that she almost fainted. Her voluptuous chest heaved up and down, and Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna thought that she would pass out the next second.
However, Yang Yueyue managed to suppress her anger. She realized that her demeanor earlier was unbecoming of someone from a prestigious family, so she stopped yelling.
After the farce was over, the sales assistant smiled awkwardly and coughed twice to redirect everyone’s attention to the new Tears of the Mermaid.
“Currently, Tears of the Mermaid is only available at Lanxing Pavilion. Everyone can see that it stands out from the other pieces just by looking at it.”
Someone in the crowd at the counter asked incredulously, “Only Lanxing Pavilion has these pieces?”
Usually, masterpieces would indeed be monopolized, but there were many jewelry stores comparable to Lanxing Pavilion in the city.
Everyone was in disbelief.
The sales assistant smiled and explained gently, “Master Yalin and the boss of Lanxing Pavilion are old friends, so this piece is only for Lanxing Pavilion.”
Immediately, discussions ensued, as many people started whispering to each other.
“Sisi, what do you think?” Chen Anna asked as she looked at Tears of the Mermaid placed on the counter.
Qiao Sisi rubbed her chin with an appreciative expression on her exquisite little face. “Both the style and the carving are top-notch, as expected of Master Yalin’s work.”
She was not lying. There were not more than 20 people in the jewelry industry who could design such a piece.
As one could well imagine, Master Yalin’s ability was worthy of the title ‘Master’ in the industry.
“What a pity…” Chen Anna shook her head regretfully. It was a pity that the two of them could not afford any piece.
There were always people who liked to admire beautiful things, not to mention gorgeous jewelry. It was just that sometimes, they could not afford to own them.
“Customers.”
The sales assistant suddenly said, “Other than the one in the middle that is not for sale, the rest are clearly priced.”
With that, she took out a few price tags and placed them directly under the boxes.
Many people gasped at the prices of the necklaces and took some time to process the information.
Qiao Sisi and Chen Anna took a look and were also shocked by the high prices. Each necklace was worth more than half a million yuan.
Only a few people present could fork out such a big sum of money.
“Let’s just watch.” Qiao Sisi pulled Chen Anna two steps back.
