Chapter 1177: Starry Flower Shop
Xia Yingluo smiled sweetly as if there was soft sunlight blooming on her cheek. She smiled sideways at Jin Ling’er and said, “See, Ling’er, you mustn’t learn from them. It’s okay to be ignorant, but it’s even worse to pretend to know something you don’t.”
Although Jin Ling’er didn’t understand what she was talking about, of course she had to support her good sister, so she laughed and said, “Hahaha, it really is a laughing stock. They’re holding a defective product and still treating it as a treasure and even showing it off as if their lives depended on it. They’re not even afraid of losing their heads from humiliation, hahahahaha.”
Jiang Bilian desperately wanted to tear them into pieces, but she suppressed her anger and said, “Is that right? I’d like to hear your opinions. However, don’t make up a string of ghost words to coax us.” After all, she still didn’t believe that these two poor country b.u.mpkins could actually have much knowledge.
Zhu Zhu and the others also said, “Yes, yes. If you can’t give a good reason, you’re an uneducated beggar!”
The hustle and bustle here were so loud that it attracted other trainees into the cla.s.sroom.
In the face of so many people, Xia Yingluo did not panic. “Jiang Bilian, you guys don’t even recognize how ignorant you are. Do you know how rare and precious blue roses that really grow naturally are in the world? You think you can buy it as and when you want to with money? Sorry, I’m afraid you can’t even see it, this is common sense in the flower industry. If you think I’m lying, you can find any random professional and ask them.”
Jiang Bilian’s expression changed. She really wanted to slap her face.
If what Xia Yingluo said was common sense, wouldn’t she seem ignorant and ridiculous?
At the same time, some trainees really took out their mobile phones and started searching the internet. They said aloud, “Xia Yingluo is right. Natural blue roses are really uncommon. I also went to the Nightingale Flower Shop’s official website and checked, and the customer service said that their blue roses are dyed from white roses after absorbing blue dye, and it is not a true natural breed.”
A group of people over at Zhu Zhu’s side fell silent and exchanged glances.
They did not think that things would come to this. They had originally wanted to laugh at Xia Yingluo for being ignorant, but how had they suddenly become ignorant and humiliated instead? Jiang Bilian was angry and awkward, her face was stiff and she looked extremely strange.
Xia Yingluo smiled lightly and continued to pick on them. “That’s why I said that you shouldn’t talk if you’re ignorant, so you won’t humiliate yourself.”
Jin Ling’er backed her up. “What lady of the Jiang family, I heard that you only got into this Training Camp because you couldn’t get into an ordinary high school. No wonder you’re so uncultured. Go get more tuitions and stop throwing your family’s face.”
Jiang Bilian couldn’t bear being ridiculed by them. She saw that the trainees around were all taking joy in her calamity and had no choice but to suppress her anger. She said as calmly as possible, “Jin Ling’er, you’re wrong. It’s not a must to know about flowers, what does it have to do with culture cla.s.s? I’m usually busy practicing, how could I spend my energy elsewhere. But you… I urge you not to use your brain on these miscellaneous things. Xia Yingluo, if you spend more time on your cla.s.ses, you might just win me in the monthly exam.”
At her words, many people remembered that Xia Yingluo had lost to Jiang Bilian by one point in the last monthly exam.
Zhu Zhu was injected with blood in an instant and she looked at Xia Yingluo proudly. “Exactly, our sister Bilian is a real ladylike girl who spends her mind on the right things. Unlike some people, studying random things every day, and what for?”
“Haha, what else could it be for? Isn’t it for finding a sugar daddy?” A girl behind Zhu Zhu laughed.
Another girl laughed and said, “Do you think it would be useful to have more gentry knowledge? Let me tell you. Don’t be so naive, the tyc.o.o.ns simply won’t fall for someone like you. What do you have to compare with Sister Bilian? A peasant will forever be a peasant, so don’t delude yourself into thinking you can fly up onto a branch and become a Phoenix!”
Xia Yingluo’s expression turned cold. These people were really good at dragging her down. They could even drag down her private life from the topic of blue roses. She knew it was because they had been injured by Wei Lingnan that day and were venting their anger on her, but she wasn’t so easy to bully!
She was about to explode when suddenly, someone cleared his throat at the door—
“Is Miss Xia Yingluo here? Who is Miss Xia Yingluo?”
Everyone turned around and saw a courier standing in front of the door, holding a box and looking around.
Xia Yingluo said, “I am.”
The courier came in holding the box and said politely, “Ms. Xia, this is the courier from Starry Flower Shop. Please sign here.”
Starry Flower Shop!
For a moment, the entire cla.s.sroom stirred in excitement and several doubtful eyes pa.s.sed from Xia Yingluo to the box. It was not a big flower shop, and in terms of business volume alone, a whole year of their sales could not even compare with a day of Nightingale Flower Shop’s sales. But the Starry Flower Shop was one of the most distinguished and luxurious shops recognized in this city, and even in the world. There was no other reason except that this shop only sold new products not seen in the market—in other words, every one of their flowers were unique products bred and developed by themselves.
It was said that when the superstar Queen Ye Xingling and the big boss of Skyart Entertainment Li Lei got married, they lavishly decorated the entire wedding auditorium with the bouquets from Starry Flower Shop. It still remained a romantic anecdote since then. Last year, the mayor’s daughter got married and also used Starry Flower Shop’s flowers to make their bride’s bouquet. The bunch of unique white roses had caused a sensation at that time.
Several more examples made this flower shop stand out in the ordinary people’s eyes.
However, it was said that the flower shop closed its doors all year round and the real business was never negotiated in the store.
Many rich and powerful people had come specifically with name cards out to admire, but they did not even get to meet the person in charge.
But who would have expected that this mysterious and cold flower shop would actually send Xia Yingluo flowers?!
“It’s not a lie, right…” Someone rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Xia Yingluo was also a little hesitant. “It’s for me?”
“Yeah.” The courier smiled. “Ms. Xia Yingluo from Imperial Entertainment’s Training Camp, mobile phone number 170184321X, right?”
It was really for her. Xia Yingluo grabbed the list and signed it, thanking the courier.
Jin Ling’er and a group of people gathered around and looked at her box curiously. “Is it really from Starry Flower Shop? Yingluo, who sent it?”
Xia Yingluo said, “I don’t know.” She had only spent a year in the Training Camp with her concealed ident.i.ty and did not have any friends in the society at all. Could it be from Zhao Yixuan? No… with his cla.s.s, he might not even be able to see the shop’s affairs.
