Chapter 82: These People Are Truly Vile
Tian Xiaowei looked at the dress and laughed, saying, “This kind of dress is only suitable for our Tingting. Some people really shouldn’t embarrass themselves here. Don’t they know how ridiculous they look in it?”
“How can you say that!”
Shi Hanhan was clearly just a young girl. Her good upbringing meant she never spoke back and could only stew quietly in her anger.
Tian Xiaowei snorted, “Did I say anything wrong? Children should buy children’s clothes. Why make a fuss here?”
Jin Jiawei clapped his hands, laughing, “Xiaowei, don’t be so harsh. Some people just like to pretend, like putting scallions in a pig’s nose to look like an elephant.”
Shen Tingting covered her mouth and laughed, her gaze toward Shi Hanhan full of disdain. “What can I do? I’m just too attractive. There are always some ugly creatures who think that by copying me, they’ll look beautiful too.”
“You’re all just too much!”
Shi Hanhan was so furious that her eyes turned red. Shen Chutang stepped forward, shielding her, “A whole group bullying a child—do you feel proud?”
Shen Tingting retorted, “How is this bullying? It’s social education. Otherwise, she’ll think everyone will always indulge her.”
Shi Hanhan tugged at Shen Chutang’s sleeve, “I don’t want this dress anymore. I won’t stoop to their level! Sister Chutang, I’ll buy something else.”
Shen Chutang didn’t want to spoil Shi Hanhan’s mood and nodded. The two went next door.
Suddenly, Shi Hanhan spotted a white dress and immediately pulled Shen Chutang over, “Sister Chutang, this dress is perfect for you. Try it on?”
“No need. You’re the one shopping for clothes, not me.”
“Sister Chutang, just try it. It really looks wonderful!”
Seeing the rare smile on Shi Hanhan’s face, Shen Chutang finally agreed and went to the fitting room.
It was a spaghetti-strap dress, with a cinched waist that highlighted Shen Chutang’s slender figure, making her waist seem impossibly delicate. Her exquisite collarbones and flawless shoulders and neck were fully revealed, like a proud, pure white swan.
Shi Hanhan immediately took out her phone and snapped several photos. “You look amazing, Sister Chutang! This dress suits you so well!”
Shen Chutang was never picky about clothes, as long as they were comfortable. “Really?”
“Mhm!”
Without hesitation, Shi Hanhan turned to the sales assistant, “This one, please. No need to pack it—I’ll wear it out.”
“Wait!”
Shi Hanhan hadn’t expected Shen Tingting and her friends to be so persistent. They had been shopping in Area A, so Shi Hanhan moved to Area B, yet they followed her.
As soon as Shen Tingting saw the white dress on Shen Chutang, jealousy flashed across her face. “I want that dress.”
The sales assistant beside them looked awkward, forcing a smile. “Sorry, miss, but they’re already purchasing this dress.”
Shen Tingting immediately became displeased. “What’s going on? I’m a VIP here. Do you know how much I spend in your store every year? Besides, this woman wearing your clothes has nothing branded—no designer outfits, no jewelry, no bags. Are you sure she can afford it?”
The sales assistant who had just been so attentive to Shen Tingting hurried forward, “Miss Shen, please don’t be upset. She’s new and doesn’t know the rules. I’m Ma Xiaowen—next time, just look for me!”
Then Shen Tingting strode up to Shen Chutang, her face full of impatience. “Sorry, but could you please take off the dress?”
Shi Hanhan couldn’t help herself, “How can you act like this?”
Tian Xiaowei crossed her arms, her face mocking. “Little girl, is that all you can say? Why not go home and find your mother? Don’t embarrass yourself further.”
Shi Hanhan was trembling with anger. These people were truly awful!
Shen Chutang glanced at her, “Apologize.”
Tian Xiaowei acted as if she’d heard a joke, “Apologize? What gives you the right to demand that?”
Shen Tingting, satisfied to see Shen Chutang and Shi Hanhan at a loss, turned to Ma Xiaowen. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and make her take off the dress. From now on, I’ll only look for you—give you the sales, bring friends for your business.”
Ma Xiaowen’s heart leaped with joy, and she grew increasingly impatient with Shen Chutang. “Why are you still wearing the dress? Hurry up and take it off. If you stain it, can you afford to pay? If you can’t buy it, don’t try to imitate others. Take it off right now!”
Seeing Shen Chutang had no intention of removing the dress, Ma Xiaowen actually reached out to pull it off herself.
Shen Chutang grabbed her hand and flung it aside. “Get away from me.”
Ma Xiaowen immediately shouted, “If you can’t afford it, stop wasting everyone’s time!”
Shen Tingting, Tian Xiaowei, and Jin Jiawei watched with expressions of gleeful anticipation.
Ma Xiaowen lunged again, but just as she reached for the hem of the dress, Shen Chutang extended her foot, tripping her so she fell flat on the floor!
