Chapter 785: It’s Not Strange If You Think It’s Expensive
Editor: Henyee Translations
Unexpectedly, after Murong Qiao asked about the price, she only chuckled.
The shop assistant was a little puzzled by her attitude, but she still raised a professional smile to show her “good” attitude.
“I want to try this one,” Shen Xi suddenly said.
Why did it have to be at this time?
The shop assistants smile on the surface didn’t change, but she was a little disgusted by Shen Xi’s words, so she secretly cursed in her heart.
However, Murong Qiao was standing at the side. She couldn’t perform a change of expression in public.
Hence, the shop assistant could only grit her teeth and turn to look at Shen Xi.
She squeezed out the little bit of patience she had left and was very polite to
the other party.
“This is the most expensive dress in our shop. Are you sure you want to try it
on?”
The shop assistant asked with a fake smile.
She was wearing plain clothes and didn’t look like she had any accessories.
Even her shoes were soft cloth shoes. She looked extremely simple. She had already subconsciously labeled the other party as poor.
However, the person who answered the shop assistant was not Shen Xi, but
Murong Qiao, who was standing at the side.
“IS that so? I thought it was quite cheap when I saw you holding it.” Murong
Qiao chuckled.
These words really made the shop assistant blush.
She stood rooted to the ground awkwardly and couldn’t flare up. Her anger rose, and her face turned red with anger. Her mouth was slightly open, and she wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to.
If this was said by Shen Xi, she would have 10,000 words to refute. However, these words came from Murong Qiao.
The arrogance and contempt she displayed towards Shen Xi at this moment turned into an indescribable sense of embarrassment.
Shen Xi stood at the side and burst out laughing without hesitation.
She was still feeling a little depressed just now. After Murong Qiao said this, she immediately felt enlightened. It was like the clouds had opened and the moon was bright. Her unhappiness dissipated.
“Customer, you… you don’t have to make things difficult for me.”
The assistant explained for herself. “I’m just doing my job.
-Oh’” Murong Qiao raised her eyebrows with interest and stood beside Shen Xi with her arms crossed. “Could it be that this is the attitude expected of this shop?”
“Still-” She dragged her voice slightly and sized up the shop assistant in front of her. “It’s not surprising if you think it’s expensive.
The second stab was the most fatal.
The shop assistant was clearly also a little embarrassed by her blunt words.
The shop assistant turned her face to the side in embarrassment. “Are you alright?” Murong Qiao casually asked as she looked at Shen Xi, “Why did you run out alone? Seeing that you haven’t returned for so long, Xiao Gu and I were quite worried.”
“It’s nothing. I just wanted to come out and walk around.” Shen Xi shook her head.
After she came out, she had already completed her goal. However, it was rare for her to come out, so she wanted to move around more. She didn’t expect to be so unlucky to encounter such a thing.
“You—”
The shop assistant looked in surprise at Murong Qiao and Shen Xi’s very familiar conversation and finally realized that the two of them knew each other.
“The two of you ganged up to bully me!” The shop assistant seemed to treat herself as a victim and shouted angrily.
Murong Qiao looked at her unmoved and protected Shen Xi behind her. “Correction, this is called an eye for an eye. However, with your education level, I’m afraid you won’t be able to understand this.
A dog looking down upon humans.
Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to waste her time with such a person. In the end, she wouldn’t add anything of value.
She held Shen Xi’s hand and picked another shop assistant to settle the bill for the dress before turning around and leaving the shop.
Murong Qiao didn’t want her money to fall into the other party’s pocket. Not even the little bit of commission from selling the dress.
“Qiaoqiao, you were so powerful just now.” After leaving the shop for a while, Shen Xi couldn’t help but praise her.
Murong Qiao agreed casually and tightened her grip on her hand, afraid that she would be dispersed by the crowd.
She pulled Shen Xi to the elevator. “You can bring Xiao Gu along the next time you come out. Even without me, she’ll stand up for you.” “…1 just want to learn to handle things by myself,” Shen Xi said softly. She seemed to want to laugh, but she didn’t. She still couldn’t hide the disappointment on her face.
“Don’t worry. Let’s go back to the studio first.” Murong Qiao patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Shen Xi didn’t say anything and only followed behind Murong Qiao silently. She followed the way she came and returned to Yan Xiu’s studio.
“You’re back-?” Seeing the two of them return safely, Xiao Gu was about to open her arms in joy to welcome them when she sensed that Shen Xi’s emotions were not right.
The words she was about to say stopped abruptly.
After seeing Shen Xi return and sit alone in the corner, she turned around and asked Murong Qiao, who had brought her back, with a silent gaze.
“What happened?”
Even someone as slow as Xiao Gu sensed that something was wrong with the other party’s emotions when she returned.
Murong Qiao pointed in the opposite direction of where Shen Xi was sitting.
“Let’s talk over there.”
At the very least, she didn’t want Shen Xi to hear this matter mentioned again. Murong Qiao took care of the other party’s emotions. At the same time, she pulled Xiao Gu along and softly described what she had encountered when she went to the mall just now.
Although she finally bought the dress and gave it to Shen Xi, the expression on her face was visible to the naked eye. She was not very happy.
-How can this be!” Xiao Gu couldn’t help but complain softly after hearing this. If she met such a shop assistant, she would probably be furious. At the thought of Shen Xi suffering such grievances outside, Xiao Gu felt sad for her.
“Take good care of her later. I’m afraid I can’t stay here for long,” Murong Qiao reminded her.
Xiao Gu hurriedly nodded solemnly. She still understood some things when it came to serious matters and wouldn’t do those silly smiling things.
However, after Murong Qiao finished speaking, she glanced at her cell phone. Jiang Chi was on leave today, and it was rare for her to have more things to deal with, so her schedule was relatively tight.
After Xiao Gu and Murong Qiao parted ways, she returned to the front desk After sneaking a look at Shen Xi’s expression, she couldn’t make up her mm . Although she didn’t know if this was effective, Xiao Gu still took the initiative to take out her tablet computer that she usually used to watch dramas and moved closer to Shen Xi.
“I’ve recently found a very good television drama. Do you want to watch it together?” Xiao Gu invited softly.
Seeing her attitude, Shen Xi knew that she must have learned about what had happened from Murong Qiao. Thus, she revealed a gentle smile, not wanting to worry others and used it to comfort Xiao Gu.
“I’m fine.” Shen Xi’s lips twitched.
Xiao Gu reached out and tapped the corner of Shen Xi’s mouth. “If you don’t want to smile, don’t smile. Why are you forcing yourself? It’s not like we’re strangers.”
Xiao Gu didn’t understand too much, but she trusted her intuition very much Therefore, when she saw Shen Xi smiling like this, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable..
