Fake Dress

'I don't think it's from any luxury brand, at least not any of the new collections.'

Xia Yiwei let out a breath of relief after seeing that message, and a smile crept up her lips as she closed her phone.

'Really? Shanel, look closely! The dress is so pretty.'

Yi Tingting smiled proudly as she replied: 'See! Shanel is obviously right. I told you the dress is probably from some small street stall. So what if it's pretty, it's definitely made from cheap material.'

From the other end, Shanel seemed to get slightly impatient as she typed:

'Shanel: Okay, since the matter is settled, can we keep the chat quiet for today? I'm really busy at work as everyone is preparing for the release in a few hours, but no one has even seen the pieces of the new collection yet. I don't know what the designer is thinking!'

'Yes, yes! Everyone, let Shanel work!'

'It's okay, Shanel! You are already seeing Kla's newest collection before anyone else, I'm so envious of you!'

Shanel was currently working as an intern in Kla, which was also why she was so well-respected amongst the other upper class girls. Everyone's dream was to be able to wear, or even see a piece from Kla.

'Okay, okay. Let Shanel work,' Xia Yiwei typed into the chat, and the chat slowly quieted down again.

"See, Yiwei. I told you not to worry. That b**** obviously wouldn't have money to buy any luxury dress. She's just trying to look good, but it just can't hide her cheap and lowly appearance."

Xia Yiwei smiled and put down her glass of wine, crossing her arms together, "Well then, shouldn't we let more people know about this."

Yi Tingting returned her with a sinister smile, and the two of them slowly began walking across the balcony over to where Xu Anyi was standing.

Xu Anyi was standing alone in the corner when she suddenly saw from the corner of her eye the two people walking straight towards her.

She smirked, wondering what those two were up to now, and she turned around, facing them as she looked straight into the eyes of Xia Yiwei boldly.

Xia Yiwei's gaze quivered slightly but she continued to walk, and the two of them stopped in front of her. Xia Yiwei smiled fakely and tried to grab onto Xu Anyi's arm, but she quickly pulled it away.

She continued to smile as she asked, "Anyi, your dress looks so pretty. Where is it from?"

Xu Anyi looked her in the eye for a few seconds, as if she was questioning the sincerity of her presence although she knew that there was no way Xia Yiwei could ever be sincere.

Then, she put her glass of wine down on a nearby table and responded, "You wouldn't know even if I told you."

Yi Tingting scoffed at her response, "Of course she wouldn't know. How would Yiwei know about some random cheap street stall."

Xu Anyi glanced over at Yi Tingting, and it took a moment before she remembered who she was, and she raised an eyebrow, "The dress isn't from a street stall. You obviously don't have a very good eye for fashion."

Yi Tingting immediately got mad from her comment, and she took a step forward, pushing her chest out, "Watch your mouth, Xu Anyi! Who are you to talk about me?! Stop pretending. It's obvious you could only afford a dress from a street stall."

Xu Anyi rolled her eyes and stopped paying attention to them, turning to face the building across from the balcony.

However, Yi Tingting was not planning on stopping any time soon.

She immediately reached her hand out, pulling on the edge of the dress as she said loudly, "You're so fake! Trying to squeeze into our circle with a fake dress. Just look at how cheap this material f-"

Before she could finish, Xu Anyi suddenly grabbed onto her arm and she felt a sharp pain shoot up her thin arm as Xu Anyi twisted it around with a force unimaginably strong.

"Ah!" Yi Tingting screamed right away, which drew the attention of everyone on the balcony.

Coincidentally, the band also finished their song and the balcony turned silent as everyone turned around after hearing Yi Tingting's sharp scream.

"Xu Anyi! What are you doing?!" Xia Yiwei exclaimed, rushing forward to help Yi Tingting.

Xu Anyi continued to twist her arm for a few more seconds before she finally let go, glaring at Yi Tingting coldly, "Mind your own business."

Yi Tingting was furious by now as well as she matched Xu Anyi's glare and held onto her arm in pain, "Who do you think you are?! How dare you talk to me like that? I just touched your cheap, ugly dress! How dare you do this to me? I'm going to tell my dad about this!"

Xu Anyi almost laughed out loud, "Do you think I'm scared of your dad?" She said, emphasizing the word 'your'.

Her tone made Yi Tingting flinch in fear, and for a second, she almost thought that she was talking to the old Xu Anyi, the precious only daughter of the powerful Xu family, which made her fearful. She looked back at Xia Yiwei for a second, who had her eyebrows tightly furrowed together.

"Yeah, that dress doesn't look cheap. . ." Another girl from the side commented as a crowd slowly formed around them.

Yi Tingting scoffed and looked over at the girl, "What do you know? I already searched everywhere. That dress is not from any luxury brand. It has to be from some cheap street stall, or some small second-hand shop. Who knows where she got that dress from?"

At this point, all the guests had come to this side of the balcony to watch the drama unfold.

Seeing that there were more people, Yi Tingting became even more fearless as she said loudly, "I can't believe you are such a b****."

She scoffed, "You have no money and you are trying to squeeze into our circle just by wearing fake luxury clothes. Ch! In your dreams!"

Xu Anyi furrowed her eyebrows together but didn't say anything. Although she was also mad, she knew that if she cursed back at Yi Tingting, it would only make herself look bad.

Yi Tingting did not know, but this only made her seem lowly and rude.

Instead, Xu Anyi merely smiled and said coldly, "It's not fake. Just because you don't have the ability to get it doesn't make it fake."

Yi Tingting's face turned red with embarrassment and anger, because she was certain that the dress had to be fake.

"How could you be so shameless?! Do you think all of us are blind?"

Xia Yiwei stood to the side, looking like she was concerned as she stood behind Yi Tingting, letting her do all of the talking.

"You do seem quite blind right now," Xu Anyi retorted.

Yi Tingting's lips twitched, then after a second, she laughed, raising an eyebrow, "If it's not fake, the-"

Just as she was about to finish her statement, her phone suddenly rang, and she looked down, and immediately paused.

The phones of many other people here also began ringing and many of the girls began pulling out their phones and looking at the new message in the group chat.

Xia Yiwei also pulled out her phone and opened up the group chat, and when she saw the message, her eyes first widened, and then she immediately narrowed them as her eyebrows knit together.

From the front, Yi Tingting's head whipped around as she looked at Xia Yiwei in shock.

'Shanel: Wait, Yi Tingting. That dress you just sent in the chat, where did you see it from? It looks exactly like the newest design from Kla! I just saw the new collection, and the main piece of the collection looks exactly the same as that red dress!'
