Chapter 150: Paying the Bill

Seeing the playful look in Ling Yao’s eyes, Ji Youran blushed with anger,

“Of course, I can fit into it!”

She was just a little bit bigger than Ling Yao, not ridiculously fat. Why couldn’t she fit into this dress?

She had a curvy figure. She was slim where she should be slim and had curves where she should have curves. She was much more feminine than Ling Yao.

 She wondered if Lu Qingyun had something wrong with his eyes. Why did he like a skinny woman like Ling Yao?

Wasn’t he afraid of her being bony when he hugged her at night?

“Then I’ll give you this chance.” Ling Yao smiled playfully, “If you can fit into this dress, I’ll pay for it.

 If you can’t fit into it, you’ll pay for all my clothes. How about that?”

“Why do I have to pay for everything? I’ll just buy this one.”

“Then forget it.” Ling Yao shrugged indifferently.

Ji Youran glared fiercely at Ling Yao, her eyes fixed on the dress on the counter.

 When Ling Yao tried on the dress, it fit perfectly. The cut seemed to be quite form-fitting.

What if she couldn’t fit into it? Wouldn’t she be publicly humiliated and have to pay for everything?

But she was reluctant to back down.

“Youran, let’s go. This dress is a bit small for you. Don’t try it on.” Zhu Xueya stepped forward and pulled Ji Youran, gently persuading her.

Ji Youran, upon hearing this, flung Zhu Xueya’s hand away, picked up the dress on the counter, and stormed into the fitting room.

She wouldn’t believe she couldn’t fit into this dress.

Ling Yao turned to Lu Qingyun and winked playfully.

Lu Qingyun walked over and whispered in her ear, “You don’t like that dress?”

Ling Yao smiled and nodded slightly, “It has a hollow design in the back.” Although she wasn’t a conservative person, she preferred dresses with a more simple and elegant style.

Lu Qingyun smiled, reached out and took Ling Yao’s hand, and led her to the rest area, “Let’s sit over there for a while.”

He hadn’t noticed that detail before. He simply thought Yaoyao looked exceptionally good in that dress.

 She looked beautiful and charming, and he couldn’t take his eyes off her.

Watching their sweet and natural interaction, Zhu Xueying felt her heart ache as if someone was stabbing her heart with a sharp knife.

She gritted her teeth and tried to hold back her tears.

She had silently loved Lu Qingyun for so many years, but in the end, she could only watch him be sweet and loving with another woman. How could she bear it?

Ji Youran went into the fitting room and couldn’t wait to take off her clothes. She pulled the dress over her head.

 It got stuck halfway down. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t pull it down.

She wanted to take the dress off, but she had already pulled it halfway down. She thought of how Ling Yao would definitely laugh at her later.

So, she gritted her teeth and pulled down with all her might.

“Rip!” A crisp sound rang out. The dress was ripped apart with a large tear.

Ji Youran was stunned. What was she going to do?

“Excuse me, do you need any help?” The attendant’s voice came from outside the fitting room.

Ji Youran looked down at the dress that was tightly stuck on her body, with a big tear.

 She was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

She knew she shouldn’t have argued with Ling Yao. What was she going to do now?

“Miss, do you need any help?” The attendant’s voice sounded again.

“No!” Ji Youran forcefully pulled the dress off her body, changed her clothes, and walked out of the fitting room.

The attendant standing at the door of the fitting room reached out to take the dress Ji Youran handed her.

She immediately noticed the hole in the dress. “Miss! You’ve damaged the dress. According to our store’s rules, you have to pay for it.”

“I know.” Ji Youran was embarrassed and angry.

“Remember to pay together. And thank you.” Ling Yao stood up, walked to the counter, took the shopping bag from the attendant, and happily left the counter with Lu Qingyun.

“Ling Yao, come back here! Who said I was going to pay for it?” Ji Youran was furious. She wanted to chase after them, but the attendant blocked her way.

“Miss! Please pay first. The total is three thousand six hundred and fifty yuan.”

“Did you say three thousand?” Ji Youran’s eyes widened in disbelief.

These few clothes cost over three thousand? This was robbery! Her monthly allowance was only one hundred yuan.

 This three thousand yuan was equivalent to over three years’ worth of her allowance. That hateful Ling Yao! She was so cunning!

Ji Youran took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. “How much was the dress I just tried on?”

This store was newly opened. This was her first time shopping here. When she entered the store, she didn’t pay attention to the price tags on the clothes.

“Three hundred and ninety-nine yuan.” The clerk replied.

Hearing this number, Ji Youran gritted her teeth, “I’ll only buy the one I just tried on.

You can ask Ling Yao for the rest. It has nothing to do with me.” Although she was a Miss Ji, she rarely bought such expensive clothes.

Ji Youran reluctantly took out her wallet.

“Miss, please don’t make things difficult for us. If you insist on not paying, we’ll have to call the police to handle this.” The attendant warned with a serious expression.

“Those clothes weren’t bought by me. Why should I pay for them?” Ji Youran trembled with anger, her voice unconsciously rising an octave.

“But you promised to pay. We heard it.”

“Yes!” The other attendant quickly nodded in agreement.

“You! You!” Ji Youran glared angrily at the two of them.

Seeing several people watching the commotion, Zhu Xueya frowned. She walked over to Ji Youran,

 “Youran, do you have enough money? If not, I have some.”

Now, she just wanted to solve this problem quickly and leave, so she wouldn’t be embarrassed here.

Ji Youran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She gritted her teeth, took out all her money, and counted it, “I’m still short two thousand five. Xueya, lend me some.

I’ll pay you back tomorrow.” When she got home, she would settle the score with Ling Yao. She would definitely get this money back.

Zhu Xueya took out her wallet and counted out two thousand five, handing it to Ji Youran.

Ji Youran took the money, threw it at the attendant, and then pulled Zhu Xueya out of the store.

This was the first time she had been so humiliated.

“Wait! Your clothes!” The attendant chased after them.

Ji Youran grabbed the clothes and glared fiercely at the attendant. Today was infuriating.
