Chapter 119

Within the Nimble Gown Pavilion.

Second Miss Lu Miaohuan, holding a deep blue dress, prepared to pay.

“Lu Miaohuan, I already reserved that dress, could you pick another one?”

Just then, a fair-skinned young lady around eighteen or nineteen, with a petite figure, pressed her palm on the table and spoke indifferently.

“Zheng Yongshan, you say you reserved it and that means it’s reserved? Did you pay for it?”

Second Miss Lu Miaohuan immediately frowned, her expression cold as ice, and spoke in a hostile tone.

She then turned to the shopkeeper and asked, “Shopkeeper, tell me, did she pay a deposit for this dress?”

“This…”

The shopkeeper, clearly intimidated by the question, didn’t want to offend either side.

“Hmph, how many Spirit Stones? I’ll pay you now!”

The young lady in the yellow dress let out a light snort.

Seeing this, Lu Miaohuan immediately knew the other party hadn’t paid a deposit.

She couldn’t help but sneer derisively, “Miss Zheng, you said you’d reserved it, how come you haven’t even paid a deposit? Did you reserve it with just your eyes?”

“Lu Miaohuan, I haven’t paid yet, and neither have you? I’ve reserved this dress, so it naturally belongs to me!”

The young lady in the yellow dress retorted defiantly.

“You haven’t paid a deposit, and you call that reserved? According to Miss Zheng, does that mean if you just lay eyes on something, it’s reserved?”

“Then, in the Nine Dragons Market, no one else needs to buy anything. Before purchasing anything, they should first check whether Miss Zheng has ‘reserved’ it.”

Lu Miaohuan wore an expression of cold, noble beauty, looking down on others with a side-eye, and spoke contemptuously, dripping with mockery.

“I’ve never said such a thing, Lu Miaohuan, don’t twist my words!”

“I’ve told you, I have my eyes on this dress, I’ve reserved it, so I’ve decided to buy it today!”

The young lady in the yellow dress raised her voice, speaking coldly as well.

There was already a conflict between her and Lu Miaohuan, and they did not get along. Now, not only were her close girlfriends nearby, but the shop was full of people watching them.

At this point, it was no longer just about a dress, but also about face; there was no way she could back down.

“Ladies, we will have new stock of this dress in three days, why don’t one of you wait? The shop is willing to offer a 20 percent discount at that time.”

The shopkeeper, faced with this scene, felt somewhat overwhelmed and spoke in a humble tone.

However, neither of the ladies paid him any attention.

For both women, it was no longer just about a dress at this time.

“Zheng Yongshan, I really can’t understand, what exactly are you fighting me over?”

Lu Miaohuan glanced at the young lady in the yellow dress before her lips curled into a sneer, puffing up her impressive chest with utter disdain in her eyes as she said, “Can you even wear this dress if you buy it?”

“Don’t you see yourself, flat in the front and flat in the back, just like a board.”

“Whoosh”

As soon as she said this, the other people in the shop gasped.

They felt that for a woman, Lu Miaohuan’s words were just too harsh, too damaging.

“Lu Miaohuan! You! You’re going too far!”

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Yongshan was trembling with rage, her voice becoming shrill.

Although petite and cute in stature, she was just starting to develop nicely.

But compared to Lu Miaohuan, she suddenly seemed insignificant.

Moreover, which female could remain calm and composed in the face of such humiliation?

“Too far? I’m just telling it like it is. Isn’t there a mirror in this shop? Go take a look for yourself and you’ll understand.”

Lu Miaohuan watched the young lady in the yellow dress’s annoyed expression, laughed lightly with contempt filling her voice.

Seeming to think her mockery wasn’t sufficient, Lu Miaohuan, with her long legs, took a dress for a girl of about ten from a rack nearby and said to the young lady in the yellow dress, “Zheng Yongshan, I think this suits you quite well, why don’t you try it on?”

“If you can’t afford it, don’t just ‘reserve’ it with your eyes, consider it a gift from me.”

Lu Miaohuan was already tall, and with her slim high-heeled shoes, she stood a full head and more above the young lady in the yellow dress.

At this moment, she looked down upon her from her lofty height, speaking coldly and mockingly, pushing her derision to the extreme.

Under such provocation from Lu Miaohuan, the young lady in the yellow dress’s anger flared up, unable to contain her humiliation and rage, she snapped. Her voice rose into a scream, “Lu Miaohuan, I’m going to rip your mouth apart!”

In a state of extreme anger, people are capable of anything.

Normally, Zheng Yongshan also had the temperament of a pampered young mistress, used to being coaxed and spoiled.

Now, not only personally attacked but publicly humiliated, she completely lost her composure and raised her hand to strike Lu Miaohuan.

Lu Miaohuan caught Zheng Yongshan’s palm in a swift motion and flung it away, saying, “Zheng Yongshan, stop making a spectacle of yourself, I don’t have time for your nonsense.”

“Furthermore, your figure hasn’t developed, just like a child’s, and your fists are as soft as a child’s. Go back and drink some milk from your mother to grow some body and strength.”

“Whoosh”

As these words came out, everyone in the store and the onlookers couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment, marveling at the venom of the Lu family’s young Miss.

Lu Changsheng, who happened to be passing by the entrance, overheard Lu Miaohuan’s words and his lips twitched.

He suddenly felt that the younger Miss’s prior treatment of himself, merely snorting at him with a disdainful face, was indeed quite generous and merciful.

Otherwise, with such a biting tongue, he would have struggled not to retaliate.

“Ah! Lu Miaohuan, I’m going to kill you!”

At that moment, Zheng Yongshan, her eyes red with fury and Spiritual Power surging within her, let out a high-pitched scream. A fireball appeared in her hand, which she thrust towards Lu Miaohuan.

“Ahh”

Seeing this, the onlookers in the middle of the marketplace couldn’t help but cry out in shock, some even screaming.
