Chapter 10
Retro long dresses were simple and elegant . They looked fresh and enchanting . Wen Xinya was immediately attracted to this batch of long dresses . She chose a light-green colored dress with peach-blossoms of her size and went on into the fitting room .
Wen Xinya got changed and came out very quickly . The shop assistant couldn’t believe her eyes . Green was such a seductive color, but it matched Wen Xinya so well that it was as if it was custom-made just for her . The dress brought out the class and charm in her . The shop assistant added, “You look nice! Adding some matching accessories should make it better . Please wait a while, let me pick a few accessories to go with this dress . ”
The shop assistant came to the accessories section that was right beside the rest area . She saw the VIP customer who came in the morning . He was standing at the accessories section browsing around .
That customer looked dark, cold, and malicious, thus the shop assistant kept a distance from him . She didn’t even have the courage to look up at him in the eyes .
She secretly stared at his hands . He had nice long fingers with some long fingernails . From his actions, these fingers looked hard and felt as if there were some unlimited powers hidden within .
Within a couple of minutes, the man had already selected at least five pieces of accessories, including headwear, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets .
The shop assistant caught herself drifting and suddenly realized she was here to pick up some accessories for Miss Wen . She then hurriedly resumed her actions to pick the accessories from the shelf .
Jo-ramst was a brand that carried nostalgic clothing that followed Country Z’s traditional style . It also had a lot of matching retro-styled jewelry and accessories . Therefore, this brand was extremely popular amongst the ladies of the upper class . Moreover, the jewelry shop owned by the Wen Corporation was also well known internationally . Both their articles of clothing and jewelry were often sold in matching pieces . The shop assistant focused her attention on the shelf that displayed jade . She thought: Miss Wen has a simplistic and elegant charm, thus a piece of jade accessory will look perfect on her!
“Give these accessories to Miss Wen,” said the man in a thin but powerful voice, sounding distant .
“Yes!” The shop assistant took over the tray of accessories . When she looked up at the man, he had already left the rest area through its glass door . She watched the back of the man slowly disappearing away from her as he moved away in steady steps .
Who was this man? What was his relationship with Miss Wen and why did he choose the accessories for her?
The shop assistant examined the accessories in the tray . These pieces were the main selection for the current season . They were sold in this shop because it was the shop with the top sales in the entire country .
Selecting matching accessories to go with the outfits was one of the successful sales strategies used by the Wen Corporation . On the one hand, it attracted customers . And on the other hand, it also helped to promote new jewelry . Therefore, this branch had the opportunity to display the most expensive and newest selection of each season’s trend .
This shop even carried one of the most expensive jewelry that the entire corporation had on sale—the pigeon-blood ruby .
The shop assistant returned with the tray of accessories in a daze . Miss Wen was already trying a second outfit . It was a yellow long skirt, with a white petals design . She looked so pure and innocent, exactly like what a 15-year-old should be .

“Miss Wen, a man has selected these five pieces of accessories on your behalf . Please see if you like them,” said the shop assistant while putting the tray on a white marble table with a light-purple orchid design .
Wen Xinya asked curiously, “Man? What man?”
The shop assistant said with a puzzled look on her face, “He was quite tall, and had a very decent and simple look . I’m not sure who he is, but he doesn’t seem to be an ordinary man . ”
Wen Xinya just returned to the Wen Family . For the past 15 years, she had only seen gangsters and lower-income people who were always slogging away, not including those from her previous life . After hearing the shop assistant’s description of the man, he seemed to be someone with wealth and influence . Wen Xinya thought it was unlikely that she knew someone with such status . Therefore, she didn’t give extra thought and focused on the accessories in the tray .
There it was, the pigeon-blood ruby sitting right in the tray . It looked like the ruby was covered in bright red pigeon’s blood, glowing and as bright as a burning flame . The burning flame effect was greatly enhanced by the way it was polished .
These pieces of jewelry added up to 10-carat of gems . Combining the cost of all these earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet, and the most expensive pigeon-blood ruby, they were worth a total of 10 million plus dollars…
Wen Xinya’s heart sank . She knew the prices of these pieces of jewelry was much more than she could afford .

After taking a quick glance, she looked away and said, “Just help me find some simple accessories . ”
The shop assistant suddenly recovered from her trance . She realized she had made a big mistake . She knew that if Miss Wen had wanted all the five pieces of jewelry, she would have a hard time explaining to the management . Although this shop belonged to the Wen Corporation, Miss Wen would still have to pay for the items she bought . Even if she was given a 50% discount, these few pieces would still have cost a bomb . She would not be able to make such a big decision on the shop’s behalf .
She then selected some other matching accessories that could match Wen Xinya’s status .
Wen Xinya was pretty satisfied .
Apart from outfits, Wen Xinya also selected matching shoes and bags to go with .
When Ning Shuqian received the bill from the cashier, her face turned as black as coal, because she was the one to foot the bill . The billed items included clothing, accessories, shoes, cosmetics, perfume, and a hat . It cost her over two hundred thousand dollars even after a 50% discount .
She turned to look at Wen Xinya who was still hanging out at the perfume area . Grinding her teeth with anger, she passed her credit card to the cashier for payment .

Wen Yuya was mad too . “Father gave you a credit card this morning, didn’t he? Why don’t you pay the bill yourself?” she reprimanded .
Wen Xinya looked sorry and uncertain as she replied, “I am not sure as I have just returned to the Wen Family . Father had asked Aunt Ning to get me new outfits this morning . Grandpa also asked Aunt Ning to take care of me . I…”
As Ning Shuqian noticed that the employees of the shop were watching, she then instantly told Wen Yuya off . “Yuya, how can you say that? Although Xinya isn’t my birth daughter, there is nothing wrong with me buying things for her as a stepmother . Quickly apologize to your sister . ”
Wen Yuya was full of hatred . She looked at Wen Xinya and apologized reluctantly, “I… am… sorry!”
Wen Xinya gave a cold smile without saying anything . She kept challenging Wen Yuya not because she felt that she was stupid, but because she had a quick-witted mother .
Xia Ruya tried to break the awkward silence by saying, “Xinya has just returned to the Wen Family, so I guess she hasn’t bought any daily necessities . Let’s go to the female section and see if there’s anything she needs . ”
Ning Shuqian appreciated Xia Ruya’s quick thinking . Xia Ruya was indeed a sweetheart to the Wen Family . She grew up in the family and always knew when to do the right thing . It was no wonder Grandma liked her so much . Ning Shuqian added, “Of course, let’s go to another shop . Although she is the eldest daughter of the Wen Family, she shouldn’t be only wearing brands that belong to the Wen Corporation . ”
