Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 170 - 171: She Has Lavish Dresses
Yun Xi did not expect that the tone of a new employee could be so firm, she was taken aback and sized her up from head to toe.
She saw her wearing a light-colored thin silk blouse, her clean long hair loosely draped over her chest, looking delicate and elegant, quiet and composed, not like someone of significant background. So Yun Xi scoffed and became more arrogant: "You’ve just graduated from college, right? Only rookies like you fresh out of school have no manners and don’t even know how to behave. Hmph, get lost."
As she spoke, she reached out to push Su Xingyu.
Su Xingyu stepped back, the space was too small, but she couldn’t avoid it and was pushed several steps away by Yun Xi, stumbling into another nearby desk. The owner of the desk exclaimed: "Oh no, my clothes!"
Several people turned their heads to look and only then realized that a cup of coffee had been knocked over, the dark brown liquid splashed all over the innocent desk owner, staining her pure white, high-end dress into a mess.
"I’m sorry..." Su Xingyu quickly apologized.
"Ha, newbies are just newbies, clumsy hands," Yun Xi folded her arms and said sarcastically from the side, "Ruined Ranran’s clothes as soon as you came! Do you know how much Xia Ranran’s clothes cost, the latest fashion from Paris, can you afford it?"
When Su Xingyu just married Lu Shifeng, she was mocked by Ling Weilong, Su Xingqi, and others for wearing top brands and being accused of wearing fakes. Later, she learned from the pain and felt that those big brands were too eye-catching no matter how she wore them, so now she’s very careful in choosing clothing styles. While they are all high-quality materials and designer-made, they are all custom-made with no other duplicates in the market.
Unless an extremely knowledgeable connoisseur, no one can see how luxurious the clothes she wears are.
Whereas Yun Xi in front of her clearly took Su Xingyu as an ordinary person who can’t buy international brands.
Su Xingyu didn’t explain and only said to Xia Ranran, who had been splashed with coffee: "I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean it, it was Yun Xi who pushed me. If you don’t mind waiting, I’ll go find a piece of clothing for you to change into."
She didn’t have much money on her and didn’t want to use the supplementary card Lu Shifeng provided, she pondered that Lu Shifeng forced the housekeeper to prepare a lot of new clothes for her every month—there were many clothes left unopened, all top-notch in design and materials, among them many high-end brands she didn’t love to wear, she could pick a suitable one and have the driver send it over.
"Will you find the same one? Treating any clothes as easily replaceable ones? Such a deep stain, who knows if it’ll come out after washing!" Xia Ranran wasn’t pleased either, sounding a bit agitated. She was truly heartbroken over the dress, which she had favored for a long time, scrimped and saved with gritted teeth to buy, and had only worn a few days before it was splashed like this!
Su Xingyu patiently said: "I’ll compensate you with a similar piece."
She remembered there was a similar one in the wardrobe at home, unopened, which seemed to be an upgraded version of this style.
Her figure appeared to be similar to Xia Ranran, it should be able to fit.
Yet Xia Ranran misunderstood her meaning: "That’s funny."
Bowhead, she no longer talked to Su Xingyu, vigorously wiping the stain on the white dress.
Anna on the side couldn’t bear it, it was obvious that Xia Ranran dared not offend the fiery-tempered Yun Xi, always picking the weakest target, venting on Su Xingyu! "It’s not entirely Xingyu’s fault," with a conciliatory attitude, Anna spoke up, "Ranran, you should find a piece of clothing to change into first, take this one off and wash it, maybe it’ll clean out."
"If it’s not that wicked woman’s fault, is it mine?" Yun Xi’s words were harsh.
Su Xingyu was angry: "Who are you talking about!"
Yun Xi: "Whoever responds is who I’m talking about!"
Su Xingyu couldn’t hold back any longer: "You pushed me, how is it not your fault? I suggest we each compensate Xia Ranran with a piece!" She admitted that bumping into someone was wrong, but she didn’t want to let the culprit off lightly!
"Wishful thinking!" Xia Ranran’s dress was indeed expensive, even Yun Xi felt the pinch, she’d never agree.
Xia Ranran got annoyed by their quarrel: "Enough, I don’t want your clothes! If this doesn’t wash out, Su Xingyu you pay me directly!" She didn’t believe Su Xingyu could compensate with quality clothes, in the end, she’d be the one suffering, might as well demand money. As for Yun Xi? Yun Xi’s aggressive reputation in the department was known, she dared not truly ask her to compensate.
Su Xingyu was speechless, is this the legendary bullying newcomers?
Why ask only her to compensate and not Yun Xi? Are they all bullying the new arrival?
"I’m not compensating." She said coldly, even the thought of fetching her better clothes to exchange with Xia Ranran moments ago had died, feeling that everyone was mistaking her politeness for weakness!
"Why shouldn’t you compensate?" Yun Xi sneered, speaking up for Xia Ranran, "You knocked into someone, don’t think you can dodge responsibility!"
The argument got fiercer and louder, at this moment, a small office door not far away opened, Zhuang Heng elegantly dressed in a suit, gracefully stepped out from the door, her meticulously made-up eyes swept over the chaotic scene: "What’s going on?"
"Miss Zhuang?"
"Miss Zhuang!" People greeted her one after another.
Zhuang Heng’s gaze deliberately bypassed the visibly displeased Su Xingyu, landing on the disheveled Xia Ranran: "NUY’s latest seasonal collection, such a beautiful dress, how did it accidentally get soiled." Her gentle and compassionate tone sounded like friendly gossip.
Zhuang Heng had good relations in the office, hearing her words, Xia Ranran felt aggrieved, her eyes even started to turn red: "Miss Zhuang, you know I just bought this skirt a few days ago, and it was splashed with coffee by this newcomer! How can it be washed cleanly, if it leaves a mark, what’s to be done, this disaster came out of nowhere." She became increasingly upset as she spoke.
Zhuang Heng smiled gracefully, reaching out to tidy her collar: "I wondered what was the matter, turns out you were worried about this. Don’t cry, come with me, I have clothes over there for you to borrow and change into, they are also the current season’s selection. Give this one to me, I’ll have someone get it washed, the servants at my house are very professional at cleaning these kinds of items, they’ll return it clean as new, without a trace."
"Really?" Xia Ranran’s eyes lit up, overwhelmed with gratitude, "Miss Zhuang, you’re so wonderful!" Even Yun Xi and Anna were a bit envious too, borrowing clothes from Miss Zhuang, every piece she has is a high-end brand!
With another slight smile, Zhuang Heng said: "Of course it’s true. Xingyu just joined the company, it’s not easy for a newcomer, don’t make it difficult for her." Saying this, she finally glanced at Su Xingyu, "Feng Ren isn’t like other places, don’t be reckless in the future, this time I happened to run into this, but I can’t always appear at the right time to help you."
Su Xingyu felt stifled, what was Zhuang Heng doing? Forcibly bestowing kindness?
