Chapter 267: Carrying a Fake
Besides, even if Shi Jin wanted to say something, she would not have a chance to. This was a matter between the two companies and Shi Jin alone could not decide.
Besides, the entertainment industry needed evidence as well. For Chu Ling’s sake, Shi Xuexin had yet to officially get engaged to him. Usually, she would only interact with him as a member of an influential family. Even the paparazzi would not be able to capture anything. If Shi Jin were to spread rumors, she would only be scolded by Chu Ling’s fans.
Shi Xuexin said gently, “Shi Jin, Chu Jia didn’t mean it that way. You don’t have to take it to heart. However, Brother Chu Ling doesn’t like the material of the clothes you’re looking at. It’d be better not to spend money on it.”
She also knew that Shi Jin still couldn’t forget Chu Ling.
Even if she had seen Shi Jin walking together with a certain young hunk the last time, how could a top celebrity like Chu Ling compare to him? How could Shi Jin give up on Chu Ling completely?
Chu Jia immediately nodded. “That’s right. The clothes that Cousin usually wears are specially taken care of by Xuexin. The material and fabric are not suitable for him at all!”
Shi Jin was speechless at the two of them and could not be bothered with them. “Please help me get this set of clothes.”
Chu Jia also said, “We want it too! Help us get it. It’s 190 yards.”
“I’m sorry, this is the only one,” the salesperson said apologetically.
“We came in first. Of course we want it,” Chu Jia said. “We’ve been here for more than half an hour, haven’t we?”
The sales assistant glanced at them. Indeed, Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia had been here for more than half an hour. Not only that, they had also chosen many other clothes.
Shi Jin came in later.
Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia were regular customers of this store. They were already VIPs and were customers that the salespeople liked to entertain. On the other hand, Shi Jin’s clothes did not seem to be branded. She could only rely on her figure to support herself. One look and one could tell that she was not someone who could spend.
Other than for special events, Shi Jin never wore any makeup or accessories. She always wore a t-shirt or shirt with the most simple style of jeans. Those who knew her knew that she was an artiste, but those who didn’t would only think that she was simply dressed and didn’t have any spending power.
The salesperson looked at Shi Jin. “I’m sorry, Miss Shi has already asked for this set of clothes.”
She naturally did not want to offend Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia because of Shi Jin.
Chu Jia smiled and said, “Xuexin wanted to give this to someone else. Didn’t you know?”
Shi Xuexin said gently to Shi Jin, “That’s right, Shi Jin. I wanted to give this set of clothes to Big Brother. When I was young, I was very close to Big Brother. He always doted on me and I respected him very much. Now that Big Brother has finally arrived in the capital, he and I can go back to our childhood ways. I think this set of clothes suits Big Brother very well and I want to buy it for him. He will definitely like it very much.”
She used to like saying such things to Shi Jin, hinting at how good her relationship with the Li family was. She told her that the Li family couldn’t bear for her to leave and treated her as their only daughter. They would never bring Shi Jin back again.
In the past, Shi Jin would always believe her foolishly, but was Shi Jin the same as before?
Shi Jin did not even glance at Shi Xuexin from the corner of her eyes. She said to the salesperson, “I was the one who asked for this set of clothes first, wasn’t I?”
In reality, it was indeed Shi Jin who had spoken first.
Although Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia had seen many sets of clothes, they had never looked at this one. Chu Jia had only spoken after Shi Jin.
However, the sales assistant did not want to offend Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia. She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually… Miss Shi and Miss Chu had already taken a liking to this set of clothes. Before you.”
Chu Jia looked up at Shi Jin.
Shi Jin could tell from the staff’s stammering attitude that she was lying. As for Chu Jia and Shi Xuexin, they just wanted to snatch everything from her.
The sales assistant took another look at the bag that Shi Jin was holding. As Shi Jin was going on stage today, she was actually holding a branded bag. It was a limited edition bag that had just appeared on the international stage and had not been officially released in the country.
Yao Jiahong had gotten it through his connections. It was precisely because of this that the salesperson could not help but feel a sense of disdain when she saw Shi Jin carrying it like this. She did not know whether it was a replica made by some shop on the Internet, but she didn’t realize that it was just a more low-profile design. She assumed it was fake at a glance.
It was really funny.
Shi Jin, who was carrying “fake goods”, was completely different from Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia, who were carrying branded bags.
The salesperson’s lips moved as she pointed to a shop nearby and said, “That shop’s clothes should suit you better. Their prices are much lower. Go take a look.”
Shi Xuexin and Chu Jia both knew that it was not a problem for Shi Jin to purchase the clothes in this store. However, the sales assistant had actually said that to Shi Jin, making them feel a sense of satisfaction.
So what if Shi Jin had reached a high position? In the eyes of others, a fake heiress and a woman from a small town would always be like this.
Shi Xuexin’s voice was also very gentle. “Why don’t you look elsewhere?”
“I came over first. I’ve taken a liking to this set of clothes. You want me to look elsewhere. Is this how you do business?” Shi Jin’s voice became colder.
The salesperson initially did not want to offend Shi Jin, but when she saw that Shi Jin was being like that and was still speaking in such a tone, she became firm. “Our clothes are for people like Miss Shi and Miss Chu who have cash to spend. For others, they are only here to take a look at or try on. I usually advise them to go to places more appropriate for them. Otherwise, if they cause a problem here, there’s no way they could pay the damages, right?”
“I understand.” Shi Jin raised her head to look at the girl, then glanced at her name tag before turning to leave.
The salesclerk gave a sarcastic smile. It was good that she had left on her own so that she would not have to waste any more of her breath.
To be honest, as sales attendants, they were especially afraid of encountering people who didn’t know how to appreciate good stuff. They would look around and try stuff on randomly, but in the end, they wouldn’t buy anything at all. It would only increase the staff’s workload.
Chu Jia also added, “I already said that we were the ones who took a liking to it first. Why must she compete with us? Is there any point?”
Shi Xuexin said, “Alright, let’s take a look at the clothes first. I guess that this’ll suit Big Brother very well.”
Ever since she had found out about Gu Jingyuan’s true identity from Wen Yongwei, she had been thinking of ways to improve her relationship with her brother.
