Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart-Chapter 881 - 880: Isn’t This a Bit Too Much Running Around?

"What about this one? Royal blue, very elegant..."

Chu Xiran hadn’t given up, and once again picked up a blue evening gown, its style was innovative and very classy.

"The color isn’t right."

Gu Tong shook her head again, even with a hint of disdain, as if there wasn’t a single dress in the entire shop that she liked.

Chu Xiran was truly at a loss this time; Gu Tong’s unexpected move had indeed left her flustered...

Gu Tong wore a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, going out with Chu Xiran absolutely left her uneasy, which is why she was cautious everywhere, not expressing her preferences, playing by no rules, even if it was just one item.

With such caution in mind, Gu Tong could perceive the oddities about Chu Xiran.

Chu Xiran’s face was filled with anxiety, she even kept looking up at the clock, as if calculating time and waiting for something.

She surely wanted to do something, which had become Gu Tong’s first instinct.

"Sister-in-law... please take a closer look... if worst comes to worst, just settle for one..."

Chu Xiran’s delicate face showed a bit of distress, she bit her lower lip and said, "Mrs. Zhao is very particular about etiquette, if you don’t wear an evening gown to the banquet, it’s indeed a bit disrespectful..."

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t wear one." Gu Tong raised her eyebrows, casually scanning the variety of gowns, and said flatly, "I just haven’t seen one I like yet."

This amounts to the same thing...

Chu Xiran thought to herself but had no way of retorting, lest she seemed too aggressive and aroused Gu Tong’s suspicion.

Helplessly, Chu Xiran glanced at the saleswoman beside her, the implication was quite strong.

The saleswoman immediately received the instruction, and promptly walked over to Gu Tong, saying, "Miss, the styles of gowns in our store are all the latest trends and are the most popular among young ladies from prestigious families. If you can’t find a style here, it’s definitely harder to find one elsewhere."

What she said wasn’t incorrect; there were only a handful of high-end gown shops in Shoucheng, and the current shop was already one of the best.

"Well, by that logic, there are other shops out there." Gu Tong reached out to touch a row of long dresses, briefly touching each piece, but without lingering.

Saleswoman: "..." That’s not what I meant...

Chu Xiran: "..." Useless and counterproductive!

Chu Xiran stepped forward, smiling apologetically, "Sister-in-law, custom-made gowns require appointments, and not every boutique has time for appointments. If we book elsewhere now, we might not have enough time."

Time, the two words Chu Xiran continuously stressed.

Gu Tong stopped spontaneously touching any dress, standing still with a faint smile, and said, "Does the Li Family also have no appointment time?"

"This..." There certainly is.

Even if busy, high-end gown boutiques wouldn’t dare offend family members.

Moreover, family members are always their primary clients; even for urgent services, they would prioritize, doing what ordinary shops can’t for their clients, which is the business principle of high-end gown stores.

Gu Tong’s question was tantamount to hitting the crucial point, leaving Chu Xiran speechless.

She knew better than to truly treat Gu Tong as an ordinary girl, but rather genuinely considered her a difficult Young Madam from a wealthy family.

"But... it might be too exhausting..." Chu Xiran found an inappropriate reason, whereas her main concern was still time.
