Chapter 1203 Her independent recognition.
Li Xue was not surprised when she saw that it wasn’t Ms. Yana, who has come to deliver the dress to her, but one of her staff. After all, why would the store lady, herself, come to deliver the dress? She would always let her staff do this little stuff.”Madam, here is your dress. We altered it according to your measurements the other day. But if you still feel that something more is needed on it, you can always give us a call and we will send someone to fix it for you.”
The man said as he brought up a big box of the dress up to hand it to the lady. Although there was a name mentioned on the label of the box, it was scribbled in some different language that was hard to read. Another element adding to the store as well as the store owner’s mysterious existence.
Li Xue looked down at the box and was ready to take it. But before even she could touch it, from the side, Feng Yi Lan got it under her care, giving a meaningful look to Li Xue before turning to look at the man with a skeptical gaze.
”Ah, so this is the dress my friend has been talking about all this while. Let me have a look and see, what’s so special about it.” She spoke. Her amiable tone totally went opposite to the warning gaze she was giving to the man. “You know people who shop in hurry won’t be able to see its genuinity truly. But since I have been in this industry from ever, my eyes have grown sharp enough to see the branded goods instantly.”
Feng Yi Lan spoke, putting a grim-reaping smile over her lips before pulling the ribbon off the box to open it. But the next moment, her brows tugged in confusion as she got the sight of the piece kept all delicately inside the box. “This …”
Although she started her words, she didn’t proceed to complete them any further. Instead, getting all zoned out, she sat there to check it properly in silence.
Li Xue looked at her like that and couldn’t comprehend any of her actions. Moments ago, Yi Lan was there ready to start a war after proving the dress to be a counterfeit but now, she was there sitting and examining it as if she was dissecting a frog to study its anatomical organ structure.
”Madam, this …”
”Ahh, this is my best friend, Feng Yi Lan. Please don’t mind her words, she didn’t intend to offend you.” Feeling like Feng Yi Lan’s words might have become an exaggeration, Li Xue explained to the staff. But seeing him shaking his head, she paused to hear him out first.
”No, no, Madam. You got me wrong. I didn’t mind her words. I was just asking to confirm if she was the same Ms. Feng, who owns the clothing brand Aurora?”
Li Xue’s brows wrinkled at first but then chuckling, she asked, “Yes, she is the one. You know her?”
The staff’s lips curled up as he nodded to agree. “Of course, Aurora has been brand loved by both locals and foreigners. How can I dare to not know her, while I live in the same stream as her?”
He said and Li Xue just smiled at his words, before looking down at her friend all proudly. She knew her Yi Lan had a name and recognition in the country. Her independent recognition. But this was the first time, she was witnessing it at the front in someone’s gaze. And she must say the feeling was great. She was feeling no less than a proud mother, who had finally been fruited for supporting her on the right path.
Li Xue turned to smile again at the man, as she gratefully said, “Thank you for coming all the way here. I don’t think any further alterations would be needed. But still, if there would be something, I would definitely give you a call. For now, you can get back. Holding you back here for long would only harm your work.”
She said and understanding the cue from her words, the man nodded with a smile before giving a small bow. “I would leave first then, Madam. Please let us know if there comes any issue with the alteration.” He said and Li Xue nodded to her words.
Then turning, the staff was ready to leave. But just before he could take a step ahead, Feng Yi Lan stood up with a jolt, pausing him in his steps. “Wait! You can’t leave yet.”
She said and Li Xue turned to look at her with confusion. “Yi Lan, what happen? Is there a problem?” She asked, but Feng Yi Lan didn’t answer her. Instead, her eyes sharply looked at the staff as if she was to just question him.
The staff also got stiffened at her sudden sharp call. Maybe the call was not sharp, but the sudden approach was what frightened him. Tuning meekly, he asked, “I-Is there any problem, Ms. Feng?” He asked and Feng Yi Lan’s eyes grew more narrowed at him.
She didn’t say anything immediately, but after taking a small moment, she asked, “You can’t leave yet. Before leaving, you have to tell me how did you get this piece? And is this the only piece you have in the store?”
Feng Yi Lan asked and the staff turned to look at Li Xue with some awkwardness.
Li Xue understood him, and she turned to look at Feng Yi Lan to ask once again. This time reaching to her side to ask more seriously. “Yi Lan, what is it? Is there something wrong? Why are you asking it like that?”
Feng Yi Lan didn’t turn to look at her, but keeping her eyes on the staff, she asked again. This time her tone held some mildness and curiosity. “Tell me, how did you get this piece? And is this the only piece you have from the Weasley collection? Or does your store hold more?”
Li Xue may not have understood most of the things, but she clearly heard the name very clearly. “Weasley? Who is that, Yi Lan?”
