Chapter 784: Face Change on the Spot
Editor: Henyee Translations
After she finished talking to Yan Xiu, Murong Qiao walked out of the studio.
After looking around, she still didn’t see Shen Xi, so she frowned slightly.
Even if Shen Xi ran out herself, she should have returned not long after.
Thinking of the other party’s physical condition and the fact that she might be alone outside, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but feel a little worried. She walked towards Xiao Gu and after confirming that Shen Xi was really not in the studio, she immediately told someone to go in the direction the other party had left and look outside.
At the very least, Murong Qiao would only feel relieved when she saw Shen Xi standing in front of her safe and sound.
Xiao Gu, who originally didn’t think much about it, also started to worry after hearing Murong Qiao’s words.
She wouldn’t think so much about it normally. After watching Murong Qiao’s back gradually disappear behind the door, she began to feel slightly nervous. Thinking that if something happened and she didn’t notice it, Xiao Gu wanted to ask Yan Xiu for leave and go out to look for her herself. However, she still had to work, and the studio needed her to watch over it. If she really followed Murong Qiao out, it might be an even worse outcome.
Her idle thoughts disappeared and were replaced by worry.
It was rare for her to not have a happy smile on her face. Instead, she glanced at the door from time to time. But when she did not see what she wanted, she revealed a hint of disappointment.
In fact, Murong Qiao’s worry was not unreasonable.
According to the clues provided by Xiao Gu previously, she saw Shen Xi go to the mall beside the studio.
When Murong Qiao walked out of the door, she almost immediately saw a crowd coming and going. Even she felt that there was very loud pop music playing at the entrance of the crowded mall.
“…I hope Shen Xi is fine.” Seeing this scene, Murong Qiao frowned and muttered to herself.
If it was any other time, this scene would naturally not attract much attention. However, thinking that Shen Xi’s asthma or other physical illness might be triggered because there were too many people, Murong Qiao’s expression was serious, and she tensed up a lot.
Fortunately, she had been to her Fourth Brother’s place a few times, so she was indirectly familiar with the layout of the mall. As soon as she entered, she quickly finished looking around. When she didn’t find Shen Xi on the first floor, she hurriedly walked up.
The distribution of the mall’s layers was very clear. Most of the second floor was filled with clothes and food, and the third floor was the supermarket.
The only fortunate thing was that it didn’t take Murong Qiao much effort to find Shen Xi. Just as she turned the corner on the second floor, she saw the other party in a clothing shop beside her.
Seeing that the other party was standing steadily in the clothing shop without any accidents, Murong Qiao’s face relaxed. She exhaled softly and walked towards the other party.
“This dress is very expensive, Young Miss.”
“If you break it or dirty it, I believe you don’t want to compensate with your monthly salary, right?”
“Or can I introduce you to something else?”
However, as soon as she stepped into the shop, Murong Qiao heard the attendant’s rude voice coming from where Shen Xi was standing.
She turned around and saw Shen Xi standing with her back facing her. The arrogant and disdainful expression on the attendant’s face was really annoying.
Even though Murong Qiao didn’t want to evaluate others so badly, she could clearly see from the attendant’s face that she looked down on others.
“…” Shen Xi didn’t expect to receive such a bad service att.i.tude from the attendant. For a moment, she was at a loss.
She rarely came out to shop. It was rare for her to go out a few times with someone by her side. Everyone would take care of her feelings and such a scene would never happen.
It was rare for Shen Xi to come out on her own. She had only taken a fancy to the dress at the last minute and wanted to buy it back. She didn’t expect to be troubled and tortured at the first step.
Seeing her silence, the attendant thought that she had hit the nail on the head, so her expression couldn’t help but become even more smug.
After that disgusting gaze swept past Shen Xi from head to toe, she snorted disdainfully, as if she was supplementing that there was no problem with what she had just said.
Most of the shop a.s.sistants who could work in the mall had some discernment, just from the way one dressed and walked as soon as they entered, they could tell what level of buying power they had.
As for Shen Xi, she was wearing a plain white dress. Not only did she not bring any accessories, but she also asked many questions in detail before buying the clothes.
In the shop a.s.sistant’s opinion, these reactions all meant that the other party only wanted to have fun with her.
It was the kind of customer that wouldn’t buy after asking everything.
Although Shen Xi didn’t go out often, the shop a.s.sistant’s att.i.tude was already so bad and straightforward. It was very difficult for her not to feel it.
She frowned, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of her. However, just as she was about to patiently say that she could buy this set of clothes and trouble the staff to help her try it on, she suddenly saw a familiar hand reach out from behind her and take off the clothes she liked just now.
“I’m sorry, but our products are not—”
When the shop a.s.sistant saw someone coming up to take the clothes, she immediately wanted to stop her.
However, her eyes were faster than her mouth, and when she saw the appearance of the person holding the clothes, her att.i.tude changed 180 degrees. The tense and unhappy expression on her face seemed to bloom hke a flower in the blink of an eye, and she smiled.
The beautiful girl in front of her, be it her clothes, pants, or shoes, looked like limited edition clothes. She was definitely a rich young lady.
After making her judgment, she changed to a warm att.i.tude and ignored Shen Xi. She leaned over and took the initiative to introduce the dress.
“This dress is the newest one in our shop. If you like it, I can wrap it up for you now. I wonder what your size is…”
Murong Qiao looked at the dress in her hand. Her eyes were lowered and her expression was calm. It was impossible to tell what she was thinking.
At that time, when Shen Xi turned to look at her, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. However, just as she was about to call out something, the other party secretly pulled her hand and Shen Xi shut her mouth.
Murong Qiao casually took the dress and looked at it. Then, she glanced at the shop a.s.sistant standing beside her. “Didn’t you say that I’m not allowed to touch it?”
“I was careless just now!” The shop a.s.sistant admitted without hesitation.
As if she was afraid that if she admitted it a second later, her salary would be deducted, the shop a.s.sistant’s att.i.tude towards Murong Qiao was completely different from the impatience she showed towards Shen Xi.
“Then why can’t she touch it?” Murong Qiao glanced at Shen Xi who was standing beside the shop a.s.sistant.
The shop a.s.sistant was stunned for a moment before her face turned red. Then, she took the initiative to explain, “These are specially prepared for a beautiful Young Miss like you. I’m doing this for her own good.”
If it was damaged or something, based on the appearance of the girl just now, it didn’t seem like she could afford to compensate.
“How much?” Murong Qiao asked casually.
The shop a.s.sistant directly reported the price, her eyes flickering with joy, as 1 she thought that Murong Qiao was about to buy it. Even her toes were vaguely turning in the direction of the cashier, and she was already prepared to go
