The shop a.s.sistant looked at Tang Xi in surprise and asked in doubt, “Miss, you won’t try them on?”
Tang Xi smiled and took a look at the shoes in her hand. “The shoes are all sized 235. Only people with the shoe size of 235 can wear it. I don’t need to try them on.”
“You even know this?” The shop a.s.sistant thought this girl must be somebody, because while the shoes had already been distributed to the stores in the world, the news about them wouldn’t be released until the fas.h.i.+on week of the next year. Yet this young lady didn’t only know that the shoes had been distributed to the stores, but also knew the shoes’ size!
Tang Xi smiled and asked the shop a.s.sistant to pack the shoes. Naturally, she knew that the shoes were sized 235. As the Muse of that designer, he told her that the shoes were made for her, so he made them according to her shoe size, and the shoe sizes of her and Xiao Rou happened to be both 235.
Selling the shoes worth tens of thousands of Yuan, the two shop a.s.sistants beamed with smiles. They hadn’t expected that they could sell three pairs of shoes so easily. Tang Xi was also quite happy because she bought the shoes she liked.
She happily went home with Yang Jingxian.
Bare moments after they left, another two customers visited the store. The two shop a.s.sistants almost cried out of joy upon recognizing them. They greeted them excitedly, “Miss Xiao, welcome to our store.”
Xiao Jinning gently smiled at them. “I heard that you have a new pair of shoes in your shop, so I came here to have a look at them.”
The shop a.s.sistant hesitated. “Well…”
The smile on Xiao Jinning’s face disappeared at seeing the shop a.s.sistant’s att.i.tude, but her voice remained gentle as she asked, “What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient?”
That pair of shoes was especially mysterious. It was said that it was specially designed for Tang Xi by a designer of Gucci, and the news about it hadn’t been released. Moreover, this pair of shoes was only available in the stores whose sales volume ranked among the top 30. She checked and found that there was only one store whose sales volume ranked among the top 30 in City A, so she hurriedly came here after work.
But she didn’t expect this shop a.s.sistant to be so insensible!
The shop a.s.sistant smiled apologetically and explained, “No, we just sold that pair of shoes. Ten minutes before you came, two ladies bought it.”
“Aren’t your shoes only available for members who spend at least one million Yuan here a year? How could you just randomly sell it to someone? Does your manager know about your behavior?” Xiao Jinning’s a.s.sistant Yao Na said sharply.
Although the shop a.s.sistant didn’t like the way Yao Na spoke to them, she still explained with a smile, “Yes, our products are only available for the members who spend at least one million Yuan a year in our store. I’m sorry that we’ve sold that pair of shoes, but Miss Xiao, we still have a lot of new products. Although they’re not that TX limited edition, I believe you’ll be satisfied with them. Do you want to have a look?”
Hearing that what she wanted had been sold, Xiao Jinning lost interest. Ignoring the shop a.s.sistant, she turned around and left.
Yao Na even glared at the two shop a.s.sistants before leaving.
Being treated so rudely, the two shop a.s.sistants got angry and their love towards Xiao Jinning soon vanished.
“Why do people call her ‘National G.o.ddess’? She is not kind at all! She just fakes it. I really want to expose her true colors in Weibo and tell her fans about the true character of their G.o.ddess!”
“Forget it. If we do that, we’ll be punished by our company. I think that one day, her fans will find out about her true colors.”
“Look at her a.s.sistant. What a sn.o.b! Who does she think she is?”
Tang Xi didn’t know that Xiao Jinning also wanted the shoes she bought. She worked out as usual, and accompanied Yang Jingxian to trim the flowers and plants in the garden. Soon, ten days had pa.s.sed, and the moment Tang Xi was looking forward to finally came. She was going to go back to high school…
Although she felt a little embarra.s.sed, fortunately, she didn’t have to reveal her age in her self-introduction. Xiao Rou had a student-like figure. Besides, as she had been using the Refine Facial Treatment Essence series gifted by 008 daily as of recent, her skin had become much better and looked tender and bright. Now she looked just like a middle school student!
In the morning of the first day of September, when Tang Xi was going to the dining hall to have breakfast, Xiao Sa stood in her way, looked her up and down and exclaimed to Xiao Jing who was standing beside him, “Hey, look, her face changed again! A month ago, she still looked like a black girl, but since the day she came to our family, she’s become much whiter and doesn’t look like an African at all, and now her skin has completely changed. It’s so tender that I feel like I can squeeze water out of her face.”
“Haha…” Tang Xi smirked and corrected Xiao Sa seriously, “Sa, let me remind you that I grew up in the mountains of City W, not in Africa.”
Xiao Sa snorted arrogantly. “But you looked like you came from Africa.”
Xiao Jing nodded in favor of Xiao Sa and added, “But now you look like a member of our family who are all… good looking.”
Tang Xi looked at the two brothers speechlessly, and then she asked, “Sa, Jing, can you let me through for breakfast? I’ll be late for school.”
Seeing that they were getting along well, Xiao Hongli, who was standing in the dining hall, said with a smile, “Stop that now. Come to have breakfast. You should go to work after eating, and Rourou needs to go to school!”
Glancing at the two brothers, Xiao Yao snorted and said coldly, “I’m free today. I’ll send Rourou to school.”
Tang Xi: “…” ‘Well, Yao, you really don’t need to do that. I feel stifled staying with you!’
“Oh, come on. You want to cotton up to Rourou while we’re away?” Xiao Sa snorted in exactly the manner Xiao Yao had. “I’m also free today. I’ll take Rourou to school!”
“Ha!” Xiao Jing immediately joined the war. “Don’t forget me! I’m on vacation today and I’ll bring Rourou to school! Who dares to contend with me for this? Let’s fight one-on-one!”
“Are you sure you want a one-on-one fight with me?” A chilly gleam flashed through Xiao Yao’s eyes as he glanced at Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing.
“Cough…” Jing Xiao covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, and a hesitant look flickered across his eyes. “I mean, we can take Rourou to school together, since we’re one family, right?”
Tang Xi silently walked to the dining table, picked up a fried dough stick, soaked it into soy milk and took a bite.
She’d better just have breakfast first.
Xiao Hongli, who held a piece of bread and a gla.s.s of milk, was also happily watching the show. And in the midst of watching, he turned his head to Tang Xi and asked, “Rourou, who do you think will win?”
