The Forbidden City’s Sweetest Secret Chapter 45

Chapter 45 A Farce Specifically Designed to Humiliate Jiang Wansheng.

Ming Yin invited her out at one in the afternoon, and the two met at a coffee shop in the city center.

After two years apart, although they often video called, meeting in person was still very exciting, causing them to hug and cry, delaying for a long time.

Once the emotions settled down, Jiang Wansheng sipped her coffee and suddenly noticed a few faint red marks on Ming Yin’s neck.

“Ming Yin, your neck,” she reminded.

Ming Yin took out a mirror and saw that her collar was slightly askew due to the excitement earlier, causing a few red marks on her neck to show, cursing Pei Que in her heart.

Damn hooligan.

He talked about reuniting after a long time to communicate feelings, but as soon as they got off the plane, he took her to the apartment and only freed up time for Jiang Wansheng to send a message at one o’clock.

Adjusting her collar, she said indifferently, “Pei Que left these marks.”

Jiang Wansheng fell silent for a while, unable to resist, she still asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

Ming Yin paused in her actions of fixing her clothes, then looked up calmly and said, “Let’s take it as it comes.”

She didn’t want to continue this topic, “Rest assured, I know what I’m doing.”

“It’s not easy to return to the country, I have to indulge myself, come, let’s go to the central mall.”

The central mall is a landmark building in Beijing, renowned internationally as a large-scale international shopping mall.

The items inside are not only diverse in variety but also jaw-dropping in price, not affordable for ordinary people.

Ming Yin’s family background is quite complicated, the Ming family is also a well-known aristocratic family in Beijing, but her father had an affair in his early years, her mother passed away early, and there is another illegitimate daughter, Ming Xiao, in the family.

But Ming Yin’s situation did not fluctuate at all because of Ming Xiao’s existence. The old master of the Ming family, Ming Yin’s grandfather, is a person who values bloodline orthodoxy, dislikes Ming Xiao, and only recognizes Ming Yin.

Ming Yin was pampered by her grandfather since she was a child. Although she didn’t have the love of her parents, her grandfather’s indulgence was enough to raise her into a proud and bright lady of the aristocratic family.

So for Miss Ming, shopping at the central mall is affordable.

Miss Ming has just returned to the country, as if she hasn’t visited a domestic mall in eight lifetimes, she is in high spirits, already carrying many shopping bags and not stopping.

Jiang Wansheng sat on a soft bench waiting for Ming Yin, bending down to pat her slightly sore legs.

Sighing, she supported herself on both sides, unconsciously looking around.

Suddenly, her gaze stopped.

On a mannequin not far away, a spaghetti strap dress caught her eye.

She couldn’t help but walk closer, the color was not pure white, with a hint of apricot, large areas covered with black feathers, a few pure black lines outlining the bodice that also cinched the waist extremely finely.

The two spaghetti straps were extremely thin, as if they would break with a touch.

She was amazed, and a staff member with keen eyesight came over, smiling professionally, trying to sell to her, “This is the new product first introduced by our store, handmade by Master Heli Weil, a limited edition for the summer.”

“With your great figure and fair skin, this dress suits you the best.”

She glanced at the price, six figures, a astronomical number for her.

She suppressed her sincere admiration, was about to decline, when a voice, not too big or too small, came from behind.

“Miss Jiang, what a coincidence.”

Jiang Wansheng turned around, her brows furrowed lightly.

The woman she met when Qin Mo took her to Shuhui Xiaoguan that day, she didn’t like her from the bottom of her heart, even though the woman in front of her now looked dignified and elegant.

Her face cooled down, she replied in a low voice, “Sorry, I don’t know you.”

Zhang Rui was not affected by this, but her friend stood up for her.

Cao Yue glanced at her outfit, showing disdain, and sneered, “Miss Zhang from the Zhang family, you don’t even recognize her, truly ignorant.”

At this moment, Ming Yin came out of the fitting room in a different outfit and saw Wansheng being mocked, her beautiful eyebrows raised, and she went straight up, “Cao Yue, are you so ignorant that you don’t know how to speak?”

Cao Yue’s face changed, wanting to say something but was stopped by ZhangRui’s hand.

Miss Ming recognized her, the Ming family and the Cao family were evenly matched, but for her Zhang family, they were not worth mentioning.

She maintained her composure, “Miss Ming, it was just a joke, no need to take it so seriously.”

Jiang Wansheng followed her words, “If it’s just a joke, why make it sound so serious?” After speaking, she looked as if she suddenly realized something, “Could it be that we accidentally hit a sore spot?”

Ming Yin directly laughed beside her.

Who to pick on, why did it have to be her family’s Wansheng? In terms of verbal skills, she had never lost.

It’s just that her soft appearance made people think she was weak and easy to handle.

Cao Yue’s face changed again and again.

Zhang Rui had experienced this little girl’s sharp tongue last time, she didn’t want to waste time on this, and returned to her original purpose.

She smiled warmly, “Miss Jiang is indeed a talented student in the Chinese department, your eloquence is indeed impressive.”

She walked to the dress in high heels, took a few glances, “I saw Miss Jiang linger in front of this dress just now, you must really like it, why not try it on?”

“Cao Yue also regained her composure and chimed in, ‘Yeah, if you like it, just try it on.’

‘Oh,’ she exclaimed softly, picking up the price tag, ‘This dress costs seven hundred thousand. Well, Miss Jiang, you work hard to study, even studying is a struggle for you, how can you afford it?’

‘So, as I was saying, beautiful dresses come with a high price tag. Those from humble backgrounds can only look but not afford to wear them. Can’t handle it,’ she hinted, ‘Just like dresses, it’s the same with people. Don’t you think so, Miss Jiang?’

Jiang Wansheng understood what they were implying; they were mocking her humble status, suggesting that even if she had a temporary connection with Mr. Qin, it wouldn’t last long, she simply didn’t deserve it.

Seeing the arrogant and condescending attitudes of Zhang Rui and Cao Yue in front of her, she found it incredibly amusing.

But she also felt incredibly sad; there was indeed a gap between them that she could never cross, just like this beautiful dress. Even if she liked it very much, she couldn’t afford the high price, nor could she change the disdain in the eyes of these staff members at the moment.

Ming Yin didn’t catch their undertones, as she didn’t know about the relationship between Qin Mo and Jiang Wansheng.

‘No amount of money can buy a functioning brain. Talking to you is a waste of time. My happiness today ended as soon as I saw you.’

‘You’re talking nonsense even when buying something. Remember to take your medicine on time and stop exposing your lack of intelligence and manners.’

‘It’s just a dress, I’ll buy it for you!’ With that, she took out a card and handed it to the staff.

Jiang Wansheng held her hand and shook her head, ‘No need.’

Ming Yin didn’t listen, ‘It’s necessary, only you deserve her. Others wearing it compared to you, it’s obvious it’s the difference between a fashion show and a sales show.’

Zhang Rui remained calm and composed, standing elegantly to the side.

If she bought it, she bought it.

A dress worth seven hundred thousand didn’t faze her.

After all, her words had already had an effect, hadn’t they?

A poor student and Mr. Qin.

Ha.

Stop dreaming.

After a while, the staff member came over with a complex expression, ‘Miss Ming, your card cannot be used.’

Ming Yin was stunned, it couldn’t be.

Then she figured it out.

She had a disagreement with her father before coming, afraid she wouldn’t go back, so he froze her card.

Damn.

Jiang Wansheng touched Ming Yin’s apologetic expression and smiled.

She wouldn’t let her spend money, and even if she bought it, she would return it.

Cao Yue burst into laughter, openly showing her disdain, ‘Why not buy it?’

‘A sparrow is a sparrow, can’t even buy a phoenix skin, still pretending to be rich, it’s really ridiculous.’

Zhang Rui stood elegantly from start to finish, smiling at this farce.

A farce specifically designed to humiliate Jiang Wansheng.

Jiang Wansheng stood straight in place, her beautiful face adorned with a gentle and soft smile, her tone devoid of any cowardice, jokingly said, ‘Whether to buy or not is our business, you two don’t need to meddle too much.’

Then she looked at Zhang Rui, ‘Miss Zhang, since you have so much time, why not focus on the person you’ve been thinking about, instead of fulfilling what Miss Cao just said, “pretending to be rich.”‘

Zhang Rui sneered, had the staff take her to the VIP room, then turned back to give her a mocking look, ‘Miss Jiang, don’t be so desperate. Just because of a dress, if it causes trouble, I’ll buy it for you?’

‘But at seven hundred thousand, it’s nothing to me, not worth mentioning.’

The staff nearby also became a bit impatient, ‘Ladies, we need to entertain our esteemed guests. If you can’t make a purchase, please visit another store.’

Ming Yin’s bright face turned icy, about to step forward to argue.

Jiang Wansheng held her back.

No matter how much she had the upper hand in words in this humiliation, she was ultimately easily suppressed due to her family background.

Zhang Rui wore a victorious smile.

But before she could even laugh, a middle-aged woman in a black suit hurried over.

She stepped in front of the two, respectfully saying, ‘Miss Jiang, please stay!'”
