People From Downtown

"Mom, I think…" Wei Yan was about to speak when she saw that Li Hai had already taken out the clothes she had hidden in advance and was showing them to her with a smile.

"Yanyan, take a look. Do these dresses look pretty? I remember that you don't like monotonous colors. There are beige dresses and light purple dresses. They're not tacky at all. You will definitely be the prettiest in the class after wearing them." As she spoke, Li Hai showed off the dresses.

Wei Yan blinked. She still remembered this beige dress. When she went to school in this dress, many girls asked her where she had bought this dress. Many boys also stared at her. At that time, she was very famous in class.

Just as Wei Yan was about to take the dress, a woman said at the entrance of the shop, "How much is this dress? I'll buy it."

Wei Yan and Li Hai looked at the door at the same time. A girl about the same age as Wei Yan was standing there, but she was dressed very fashionably. Behind the girl, there stood a middle-aged couple. They were both smiling. Although the man was smiling, he gave off a cultured and dignified air. The woman was elegant and had well-maintained skin.

When Li Hai saw that there were guests, she immediately smiled and took the initiative to say, "Welcome. The two of you must want to buy clothes for your daughter, right? I happen to have some new clothes in stock here. I'll take them out for you guys to see."

Although she said that, Li Hai subconsciously wanted to hide the beige dress. After all, she had specifically bought it for her daughter and didn't intend to sell it.

The girl immediately said, "I just want the one you're holding. How much is it?"

The girl's name was Xu Lu, and her family lived downtown. She had returned to the county city this time to visit the elders in her father's hometown. She was arrogant to begin with, so she naturally looked down on the people in this shabby town. She felt that the people here were very unfashionable.

However, when Xu Lu looked out the window just now, she saw the beige dress in Li Hai's hand. As for Wei Yan, who was standing beside Li Hai, Xu Lu mistook Wei Yan for a customer.

However, this customer didn't pay yet. Xu Lu took a fancy to the dress at a glance, so of course, she had the right to buy it.

The clothes in the malls downtown were very tacky. There weren't many light-colored and beautiful clothes like this. It was rare to see one, so she couldn't miss out on the chance to buy it.

Xu Lu thought to herself that if this girl wanted to snatch it from her, she could just spend more money.

Li Hai looked troubled, but Wei Yan pulled Li Hai's hand and smiled at the girl. "Of course you can buy it. These are the styles my mother specifically chose when the stock came. She wanted me to see the styles first, but I didn't expect you to see it. You have good taste."

With that, Wei Yan took the dress from Li Hai and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mom, leave this to me."

In her previous life, she didn't follow her mother to the clothing shop today, so she naturally didn't meet this girl. However, she recognized the car parked at the entrance of the shop. It cost more than a hundred thousand yuan to buy it. In this era, a hundred thousand yuan was an astonishing number.

Her father worked in the factory and only earned 800 yuan a month. In the eyes of many people, this was already a good salary.

Although Li Hai didn't know what Wei Yan wanted to do, she had always trusted her daughter, so she didn't say anything and let Wei Yan take the dress away.

Wei Yan unfolded the dress and introduced it with a smile. "The texture of this dress is very smooth. It's very comfortable to wear and won't be too revealing. The color is light, and it won't look tacky even if you wear it again in two years. The length that goes past your knees will accentuate your temperament. I think it suits you very well. I have more clothes of the same type. I can take them all out. Choose which one you like the most."

After saying that, Wei Yan gave Li Hai a look. Li Hai immediately went to take out the other clothes.

There was a light purple dress, a white short-sleeved shirt, and light pink sportswear.

When these two sets of clothes were taken out, Xu Lu's eyes lit up.

She liked the style of these clothes so much that she wanted to buy them immediately.

Wei Yan naturally saw that she was tempted, so she said, "We have a mirror in our shop. Do you want to see if it fits first?"

Wei Yan's words had hit the nail on the head. Xu Lu had an outstanding appearance to begin with and had many suitors in school. Seeing that Wei Yan wasn't flattering her like the other salespeople, but seemed sincere, she nodded and took the clothes from her hand before walking into the fitting room.
