Chapter 683: Argument
Guo Yun was played by Tong Yao, and she was livid. She glared at Tong Yao. No one had ever dared to mess with her like this before, and it was infuriating.
Xiang Youyou began to size up Tong Yao, wondering who she could be. As far as she knew, there wasn’t a well-known family surnamed Tong in Kyoto, meaning this Miss Tong might be nothing more than nouveau riche.
That was hardly something to be feared.
Tong Yao ignored Xiang Youyou’s scrutinizing gaze. She was here to shop happily with Guo Jinnian and had no desire to pay any mind to irrelevant people.
Guo Jinnian quickly emerged from the fitting room dressed in a new outfit. Unsurprisingly, the dress was beautiful. It was white and had a dreamy, floaty feel to it. The owner of the shop, seeing her, immediately started heaping praise upon her.
"Oh my, Miss Tong, you have such excellent taste. You selected this beautiful dress, and with Miss Guo’s figure, she completely does justice to this dress," she complimented.
Both dresses were expensive and beyond the means of typical customers. But the shop owner knew Tong Yao could afford them. The fact that Tong Yao had brought a friend to shop there, knowing the prices of the clothes, meant the friend must also have some economic means.
These two ladies, Guo Yun and Xiang Youyou, had asked for the price of one dress and then commented that it was expensive. Their financial means weren’t as great as Tong Yao’s, a fact the store owner understood perfectly well, though she didn’t comment on it.
They claimed it was expensive, yet they still tried it on, suggesting that they could afford it — only that their financial means wasn’t as much as Tong Yao’s.
"Yaoyao, you have a good eye indeed. I really like this dress. It’s a bit longer, so I won’t have to worry about exposing myself when bending over," Guo Jinnian praised Tong Yao’s taste. She always liked shopping with Tong Yao because every piece that Tong Yao selected was gorgeous.
