116: 116 Gentle Mom Falls Off Horse, Major Turnaround!

116: 116 Gentle Mom Falls Off Horse, Major Turnaround!

Xu Qing caught the look her daughter sent her, clutched the purse in her hand, crossed her legs, and adopted a rather haughty sitting posture, “Sister, that must be your daughter, right?

It’s truly not easy to have lost her for so many years and still manage to find her.”

She delivered the line casually, without any intention of waiting for Xu He to respond, and certainly didn’t intend to greet Xia Ye, as she turned to address the sales associate directly, “That outfit she’s wearing, get us a set too.”

Although Xu Qing’s taste was average, she still knew her stuff.

It was clear at a glance that the piece Xia Ye was wearing was different from the one Xia Yourong wore.

“Xiaorong, as long as you like it, Mom can buy it for you,” Xu Qing said with a tone of arrogance.

Sales Associate: “I’m sorry, but the piece Miss Xia is wearing is a special custom-made edition, we don’t have a second one in the store…”

Xu Qing was taken aback, “What?

Custom-made?”

Xu He stood beside Xia Ye with a carefree smile on her face, “Xiaorong, if you like it, Mom can have one made for you too.

Actually, Mom is this store’s…”

It seemed the CEO caught on to something and promptly interrupted, “Mrs.

Xia, I have business to attend to at my company, so I’ll be taking my leave now.”

Xu He had wanted to say something to him and didn’t care about anything else as she stood up and said, “CEO Jiang, let me see you out.”

Jiang Xuan wasn’t surprised and did not refuse her, “That would be kind.”

As the two left, one after the other, Xu Qing recalled what Xu He had just said and felt a sting, as if provoked, and questioned the sales associate, “Why can she have it custom-made and I cannot?

What did she just say she was to your store?”

“Mrs.

Xia is our store’s…”

Before the sales associate could reply, Xia Yourong whispered a reminder, “Mom, she’s probably a vip of this store, she often used to come here to order clothes for me…”

Xu Qing turned to look at her and immediately felt she couldn’t save face.

She and her sister both came from affluent families, having enjoyed the best services since they were little.

Why should the treatment they enjoyed now be different?

The gazes of the distinguished ladies around, sharp as knives, scraped over her, as if each one was mocking and looking down on her.

Grinding her teeth, Xu Qing said, “I must have that dress today, just tell me, can only vips have it custom-made?”

Xia Ye nonchalantly sat down on a sofa nearby, poured herself a cup of tea, and spoke with an undertone, “When a customer asks about vip customization, just talk about vip customization, no need for anything else.”

Hearing this, the sales associate spoke somewhat helplessly, “Custom-made services require vip supreme level 9 and above.

You must either have cumulative spending or a single deposit of over three million to qualify, madam, are you sure you want to join?”

Xu Qing was inwardly startled.

Three million!

Over the years abroad, she had dated a few relatively wealthy boyfriends and even had a short-lived marriage, but these things…

they didn’t mean she was wealthy.

Nor was she as glamorous as Xia Yourong imagined.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have returned to the country for that reason…

This three million would practically empty the little savings she had accumulated over the years, but…

“Madam, would you like us to take care of it for you?”

“Do it!”

Xu Qing glared viciously toward the front door, staring at Xu He’s composed and elegant silhouette.

She absolutely could not lose face in front of her!

“Get my Xiaorong a set just like that girl’s!!!”

“Yes, we will make sure you are satisfied.”

The clerk smiled as she processed Xu Qing’s Diamond Card, which represented Paris’s highest-tier VIP status.

During the process, Xia Yourong’s face lit up with pride.

Unnoticed at the side, Xia Ye’s lips also curled into a deeply meaningful smile.

Xu Qing took the Diamond Card, scoffed, and said to the clerk, “I’ll give you an address.

Wrap up the clothes I’ve picked out nicely and send them directly to the hotel where I’m staying.”

The clerk struggled, “Ms.

Xu, I’m afraid that’s not possible.

Once your clothes are ready, we will give you a call.

You need to come personally or send someone to pick them up.”

Xia Yourong’s face changed immediately, “Why not?

Didn’t you always deliver the tailored gowns to our house in the past?”

Xu Qing, becoming infuriated with embarrassment, shot back, “Exactly!

I’m now a top-tier VIP just like before.

Why can’t you deliver straight to my door?!”

The clerk glanced at Xia Yourong and explained, “You might not be aware, but the thing is…

Mrs.

Xia is actually our store’s owner.”

Xia Yourong and Xu Qing suddenly looked at each other, both dumbfounded.

Filled with envy, the clerk continued, “This store was a wedding anniversary gift from Mr.

Xia to Mrs.

Xia last year.

He personally selected the storefront and oversaw the decoration.

He said that the madam doesn’t have any other hobbies except for watching Paris fashion shows.

We’re all incredibly jealous, but Mrs.

Xia is really low-key.

She doesn’t think she’s done much to help, so she never lets us call her the boss and never brags about it to others…”

Jealousy nearly shot out of Xu Qing’s eyes like venom.

She had never imagined her sister was living such a lavish life back in China!

And Xia Yuzheng was doting on her so much!

The old lady had clearly intended to match her up with Xia Yuzheng.

If it hadn’t been for her sister seducing him, Xia Yuzheng would definitely be her husband by now!

And now, the scene would be completely different!

So just when she was about to use all her savings from her secret stash to slap Xu He in the face, it turned out that all that money ended up in Xu He’s pocket!

She had spent three million!

And this store turned out to belong to Xu He!

Xu Qing glared at the clerk, her voice trembling, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

The clerk looked down a little aggrieved, “I tried to tell you every time, but you and your daughter…

always interrupted me…”

At the side of the sofa, Xia Ye, chin propped on one hand, sat in a relaxed posture with a faint smile.

It was just as she thought.

She always saw her mother looking at fashion magazines at home and taking photos to record them on her phone (foreshadowing in chapter twelve).

Moreover, every time they ordered clothes in Paris, they were personally delivered (foreshadowing in chapter nineteen).

Also, today, the clerk’s attitude towards her mother was out of the ordinary.

Therefore, she had guessed it beforehand.

Just now, her mother was about to tell Xu Qing, fortunately, Uncle Jiang managed to send her away in time.

Looking at it now, Uncle Jiang must have…

guessed it too.

Xia Ye lifted her long lashes, smiled at Xia Yourong, “Sister, now that the clothes are ordered, you should go back with your mom.

She just got off the plane today; you should spend some time with her.

I’ll wait here for my mom; I’m looking forward to our matching sister outfits~”

Xia Yourong clenched her teeth so hard she almost spat blood, her mom turned out to be the owner of a Paris boutique, and she had known nothing about it!

All this time, she believed her mother was just a pampered, useless full-time housewife of a rich family…

And just now, she had made a practical choice between Xu He and Xu Qing.

At this moment, Xia Ye’s reference to “your mom” was nothing short of pure irony!!!
