Gu Lin turned around several times admiring herself in the mirror.
“The material of this dress is too cheap.” She said as she looked at herself. “It can’t bring out my elegance.”
“Yes, yes. Miss, you are the most perfect person.” Her personal assistant was familiar with Gu Lin’s temper after working for her for some time now and hurried to curry favor with her. “Your elegance... @#$%...#@*#...”
“What?” Gu Lin couldn’t hear him clearly.
The noise from outside was becoming louder. The personal assistant could only smile and repeat what he said in a louder voice.
Gu Lin still couldn’t hear him clearly and was upset. “What’s going on outside? Why are they making such a ruckus?!” She shouted at the sales lady to the side. “Aren’t you guys in a high-classed departmental store? Why is the ambiance here so bad? Go get them to keep quiet!”
The sales lady felt wronged. She was only in charge of tending this store, not building management.
Seeing that the sales lady was still standing there, Gu Lin flashed her temper again. She pulled off the hat that she was trying on and threw it at the sales lady’s face, her round eyes opening wide in anger. “Get your ass out there and deal with it!”
The sales lady reflexively turned away but couldn’t avoid the hat. The brooch on the hat made a long cut on her face. “Ah!” She shouted out and held a hand to her face. She panicked even more after seeing the blood flow down her hand. Girls were naturally conscious about their looks, and she was worried that she might have been disfigured from the cut. “Oh no? I need to stop the blood... where can I get some tissues?”
“Tissues?” Gu Lin was in a terrible mood and gave a cold laugh. “What good will tissues be for you? You’re already so ugly as it is, why pretend to care about your face. Just get out there and get them all to shut up!”
Her words made many of the other salespeople see red.
Objectively speaking, the sales lady that had been at the unfortunate end of her fury was not ugly at all. She was regarded as the prettiest one in the store and was going to hold a wedding with her beloved fiance in two weeks. Everyone had given her their blessings and well wishes. However, she now had a long cut on her face, and there was no knowing if it would recover in time for her wedding.
The manager on duty shot a glance at another salesperson. “Xiao Zhou, go take a look.” He then told Gu Lin, “Miss Gu, please wait a moment. It’s usually not so noisy outside. We are trying to find out what’s going on. You look really good in this dress, it really suits your complexion. You look like a royal princess.”
“Really?” Gu Lin’s attention was successfully diverted as she turned back to the mirror to admire herself.
“Of course it’s real.” The manager on duty continued to curry favor but felt only disdain for her in his heart. Did she think she was all high and mighty? All she had was a rich dad! If she wasn’t born to a rich family, she wouldn’t even qualify to be hired at this store with her intellect, or the lack thereof!
Gu Lin hadn’t admired herself in the mirror for a long time before the salesperson returned from outside.
Gu Lin was upset. “Why are you back already? It’s still so noisy outside! Do you not know how to solve the problem?!”
The salesperson stuttered and didn’t know how to explain.
“What’s going on?” The manager on duty asked.
The salesperson glanced at the manager before responding, “Outside.. outside... Ye Xingling is here with a whole entourage of fans and the media. They appear to be looking for Miss Gu.”
“Ye Xingling?” The manager on duty looked confused. “Which Ye Xingling?”
“That.. the Diva Ye Xingling!”
It wasn’t surprising that the manager on duty didn’t draw the link. It was unheard of that someone of such Diva status would step foot in a department store. It was beyond fathomable!
Gu Lin reacted first. “That b*tch?! Why is she looking for me?!”
B*tch?
The salespeople balked. Miss Gu, are you in a position to call people names? Miss Ye is so popular, and many in this store are her fans. Moreover, there is a crowd of her fans outside right at this moment. If they hear you calling her a “b*tch”, their spit alone would drown you!Ye Xingling’s fans amongst the salespeople all donned dark expressions.
Gu Lin’s personal assistant realized that something was amiss and tried to clarify with the salesperson that went to scout the situation. “Why is Ye Xingling bringing so many people here to look for Miss Gu?! Who was the one that revealed that Miss Gu was in this store?”
The personal assistant sounded ready to pin blame on someone.
The salespeople looked at each other. No one had revealed Gu Lin’s whereabouts!
The salesperson that had scouted out the situation replied, “I heard the crowd saying that someone reported that Miss Ye had caused CEO Gu to suffer a stroke, and they also said that Miss Ye had falsely accused Miss Gu of... instigating murder... Miss Ye is of the view that there is something amiss here and wants to speak directly with Miss Gu to get to the bottom of the matter. Everyone else is here to be witness to their face-off!”
When he had gone outside, he had been taken aback by the crowd. The stairs in the department store were filled with throngs of people from the first floor up to the third. They were almost on the fourth floor.
The personal assistant broke out in cold sweat. Oh my God... that was a gigantic entourage!
“Miss Gu.” He advised Gu Lin. “Let’s leave right now. It’ll be too late if we linger any longer.”
However, Gu Lin refused. “So what if she’s coming?! I’m not scared of her! She wants to face-off?! Let’s do just that! I’ve done nothing wrong! We can see who’ll be at the losing end!” She knew that her father had pretended to suffer a stroke and was perfectly fine. However, all she needed to do was to affirm that he had indeed suffered a stroke in front of Ye Xingling and the fans and they wouldn’t be any the wiser!
It was not as if that woman could infiltrate her house to verify!
Gu Lin smiled confidently. “Ye Xingling, you want me to lose face? Let’s see who will be the one to walk away embarrassed!”
The personal assistant was on tenterhooks. It was better to not get embroiled in something like this... why wasn’t this idiot rich daughter listening to him? If anything were to go wrong, she would be fine since she was the Gu family’s gem, anyway. He, on the other hand, might be in hot water!
Hence, he tried to persuade her again. “Miss, why put yourself at the same level as a singer and face-off with her in public? You’re the daughter of a wealthy family, you needn’t lower yourself to face-off with a mere commoner. You’re just elevating the status of that b*tch with your precious position!” Clearly, he was familiar with working with Gu Lin in coming up with such a preposterous reason to try to get her away.
The salespeople standing around were getting more upset by the minute. What b*tch? That was their idol, Ye Xingling!
She was several times more precious than this idiotic rich daughter!
However, they had to control their emotions since they were only salespeople.
On the other side, Gu Lin felt good hearing the personal assistant’s words. “You’re right! Why should I elevate that b*tch’s status by speaking to her at all? She wants to bring fans here, she can go right ahead! We will leave now! She’ll be left in the lurch. Then we’ll see how she explains herself to all those people!”
As she imagined the scene of Ye Xingling being a step too late, Gu Lin felt exuberant. This way, the media reporters and fans would be greatly disappointed and would take out their irritation on Ye Xingling!
