After happily loitering around the mall for some more time, Su Lin entered the Lavender boutique which Grandpa Su had suggested.
From the outside, the boutique looked a bit small compared to the other clothing stores next to it. But when Su Lin stepped inside, she was visibly amazed.
The lavender boutique was a truly high-end fashion apparel store that could stand head to head with the international brands.
Every single dress on display was stunningly exquisite. Su Lin had to consciously shut her mouth in order to not drool over the beauty in front of her.
Fashion is said to be a mixture of art, beauty, and architecture and this small boutique was a testament to it.
"No wonder the Su family heavily invested in this clothing line." Though she had very little idea about this world's fashion sense, Su Lin could already see the brand's explosive potential.
Admiring everything in her sight, Su Lin looked around excitedly. She picked out a few pieces that had particularly caught her attention and hurried over to try them on.
She used the boutique's changing room and gleefully tried the dresses one by one.
Seeing Su Lin's childish excitement, the salesgirl rolled her eyes at the pedestrian behaviour of the woman but didn't say anything.
She was already used to getting one or two customers like this, who shopped above their means and displayed a low-class mentality.
As long as no one goes overboard, it was not her job to step in and intervene.
Su Lin put on the first dress she had selected, a simple wine red color evening dress with lacy borders.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she licked her lips and nodded in satisfaction. The dress fit her very well and snugly accentuated her almost invisible curves.
Nevertheless she removed the dress to try on others as well.
As Su Lin stepped out to retrieve the next dress she wanted to try, a familiar figure met her sight.
"Hello, Miss Lin. Are you done trying on the dresses?" Yin Yue, Shi Meng's chief director was standing in the waiting area.
Though she didn't utter any rude words, her tone sounded very condescending and deresive.
So Su Lin decided to ignore the rude woman.
Since she was no longer associated with her ex-husband, why should she put up with random employees from his company?
Yin Yue was also headed to the gala that evening and had come out to pick a dress for the event.
Seeing that Su Lin was not giving her any face, the woman's beautiful face sneered in contempt and she mocked Su Lin with disdain.
"If you are done changing, can you quit hogging the dressing room? This is not a cheap Wollmart store for you to try on fifty dresses."
"Unlike you, some of us have to work and don't have that much time to spend on shopping and sipping martinis."
Su Lin was originally planning on ignoring her, but the woman's words amused her. She couldn't help herself from turning back and replying.
"Oh honey, slaving away like a dog just to pay for a dress is nothing to brag about, my dear. Please choose your words wisely next time you want to insult someone."
Su Lin chuckled and walked away. She even sounded as if she was giving out genuine advice.
Yin Yue was instantly enraged and stomped her foot angrily. This woman had no shame!
She tugged at the dress Su Lin was holding and angrily called for the salesgirl.
"Hey. I chose this dress, but the woman grabbed it from me. Is this how you treat your VIP customers?" Yin Yue flashed her VIP card and shouted at the salesgirl.
She made up her mind to get Su Lin kicked out of the shop. A loser like her didn't deserve to shop in a place like this, and she was going to make sure of it.
Now that Shi Meng had divorced Su Lin, Yin Yue no longer needed to hide her claws and fangs.
She could play around with this stupid woman as much as she wanted and Shi Meng wouldn't even spare a glance!
The salesgirl saw the VIP card and was about to kick Su Lin out of the shop, when Su Lin also fished out a VIP card from her purse. Well, technically it was the Su family's card.
The salesgirl immediately started sweating and called for her manager. She was just a small fry and didn't want to get between these two powerful women.
The manager came rushing out and tried to calm down Yin Yue first.
Out of the two women, Yin Yue looked like a rich beautiful socialite, while Su Lin looked like someone's maid.
So obviously she gave more importance to the voluptuous woman with mesmerising regal looks.
Yin Yue smirked as if she had already won and blabbered some nonsense to the store manager. The store manager turned towards Su Lin and apologised to her as well.
"Sorry, madam. Could you please return this dress to Miss Yue? I can personally help you find another one."
"Hmph. A decent person would gracefully hand it over. But what would a cow like her do? Fighting over such petty things!" Yin Yue glared at Su Lin angrily.
But contrary to what she said, Su Lin just blankly handed over the dress to Yin Yue. In fact, she didn't even hand it over, more like she extended her hand and dropped it on thee ground.
"You... You... How dare you?" Yin Yue flared angrily.
But Su Lin had stopped paying attention to her a long time ago. She was now unexpectedly fixated on the store manager.
Her eyes were wide open and she stared at the store manager as if she had seen a ghost.
Completely ignoring Yin Yue and the dress, she pulled the store manager aside and mumbled to her. "I need to talk to you privately. Now."
