A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1095 An Insignificant Lady
As sales assistants, they had encountered many types of customers in their line of work and over time, they became able to distinguish customers who were ready to spend from those who were just window shopping, and those who walked in only to use their bathrooms.
Chen Wen-Wen had obviously classified the couple in front of her to the last category of customers.
Xinxin Bridal Boutique was an upmarket bridal shop that carried wedding dresses from international brands. Even a basic wedding dress here could easily cost hundreds of thousand dollars. It was definitely not for the ordinary people.
The couple in front of her were not only dressed simply, but their clothes also looked like they were bought from the flea market and had probably cost only a couple of hundred dollars.
That man, in particular, was dressed shabbily. His clothes looked like they had been unwashed for a long time and even carried an ugly stain.
With one look, Chen Wen-Wen was filled with disgust and contempt for the couple and pointed them the way out of the boutique.
Ye Fan frowned at Chen Wen-Wen's attitude.
But they ignored Chen Wen-Wen, walked further into the boutique and started browsing through the shelves.
Chen Wen-Wen's pretty face turned red with anger, "What the heck is wrong with you guys? I already told you the directions to the public bathroom! Why are you still here?" she scolded as she rushed after them.
Instead of being angry with Chen Wen-Wen's lousy attitude, Qiu Mu-Cheng smiled politely and replied, "We are not here to borrow your bathroom. We are about to get married and so, we are here to select a wedding dress."
"All the more this place is not for you. Our wedding dresses are for sale only, they are not available for rent. If you are thinking of renting a wedding dress, there is a no-frills bridal shop towards the left. Their wedding dresses are very cheap." Chen Wen-Wen had immediately assumed they were only looking to rent a wedding dress.
It had to be the case. How could these two possibly afford to buy one? Just look at how they were dressed.
It was definitely a lot cheaper to rent a wedding dress.
"You must be mistaken. We have the intention to buy, not rent a wedding dress." Ye Fan replied.
"What? You intend to buy based on the prices listed here?" Chen Wen-Wen studied the couple in front of her before shaking her head.
"Alright, feel free to browse since your intention is to buy a dress. But you are only allowed to take a look, do not touch the dresses." Chen Wen-Wen couldn't drive them away as they already stated their intention was to buy a wedding dress.
But she still thought that they were only joking.
She did not think this couple was able to afford any of the wedding dresses here.
It wouldn't be long before they would be intimidated by the prices and backed off.
While they were talking, a car approached the shop and stopped outside the boutique.
Soon after, a young lady with thick makeup on her face and carrying a Louis Vuitton bag walked into the boutique.
The lady was stylish and gave off the air of a well-groomed, modern city lady.
A big smile appeared on Chen Wen-Wen's face when she saw this lady and quickly walked up to greet her.
"Miss Zhang, you are here! Our latest collection of wedding dresses just arrived yesterday. Let me show them to you." It was obvious that Chen Wen-Wen knew this attractive lady as she spoke to her with great fervor. Her fawning attitude was a stark contrast to how she had treated Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng.
The attractive lady nodded her head as she took off her sunglasses and followed Chen Wen-Wen around the boutique to browse the latest collection.
Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng were left unattended but they did not mind this at all. They continued browsing through the various collections in the boutique on their own.
The bridal boutique carried a wide range of wedding dresses.
Most of them were western-styled and pure white in color. There were not many traditional Chinese wedding dresses to be seen.
"Where are the sales assistants? Do you have any traditional Chinese wedding dresses?" Having browsed for a while and not finding what they were looking for, Ye Fan directed his questions towards the sales assistants.
It was an awkward moment as no one responded to Ye Fan.
The sales assistants were serving other customers and had refused to serve Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng as they were shabbily dressed. Their time was better spent on those customers who could afford their services.
Ye Fan was beginning to feel annoyed when Qiu Mu-Cheng suddenly tugged his arm and exclaimed, "Ye Fan, look over there!"
Ye Fan followed her gaze and saw a red wedding dress that was hung up high, right in the middle of the hall.
The gorgeous fiery scarlet dress was inlaid with brilliant gold and jade adornment pieces. It looked like an exquisite masterpiece from where they stood.
Qiu Mu-Cheng was captivated from the moment she set her eyes on it. Without hesitation, she darted towards the dress.
A soft, gentle voice that seemed shy sounded in Qiu Mu-Cheng's ears.
"Do you also like this wedding dress, Miss? Even though western-styled wedding dresses are in trend, I think that only a traditional Chinese wedding dress is able to bring out the nobility and elegance of a woman."
"There is an old saying, 'A groom robed in black silk and a bride adorned with phoenix robes will look magnificent as they stand together on their wedding day.""
"And, A gorgeous woman walks slowly with a slight sway, her appearance is similar to Wang Zhao-Jun, her aura akin to Xi Shi. She is perfect in every way.""
"A woman in a traditional wedding dress would be like the four great beauties of the previous dynasties. She would definitely become the center of attraction and have her audience mesmerized on the most important day of her life. After all, a tradition that has been around for thousands of years can't be wrong."
The voice belonged to the young sales assistant, Tan Xiao-Jing, the who had been ridiculed by Chen Wen-Wen and the rest earlier.
She had just finished cleaning the stains on the floor and when she saw that no one was attending to Ye Fan and Qiu Mu-Cheng, so she walked up to them and started to introduce the wedding dress enthusiastically.
Tan Xiao-Jing had also thought that this couple was only window shopping and had walked in the boutique with the intention to gain an eye-opening experience.
But this did not stop her from treating them with warmth and respect.
It was her belief that any optimistic and hopeful person should not be disappointed.
True enough, Qiu Mu-Cheng was moved as Tan Xiao-Jing patiently introduced and explained the intricacy of the wedding dress in front of them.
"How much is this wedding dress?" Qiu
Mu-Cheng had already decided on this wedding dress.
Tan Xiao-Jing replied sincerely even when she thought Qiu Mu-Cheng was just asking the price out of curiosity, "Miss, this wedding dress is super expensive. I doubt I could afford it even if I worked for the next ten years."
"Really?" Qiu Mu-Cheng asked casually as she responded with a smile.
Tan Xiao-Jing nodded, "Yes, this should be the most expensive wedding dress in our boutique and the price is a seven-digit figure. But Miss, please don't be discouraged. We are still young and time is our biggest capital. We may not be able to afford the things we would love to have right now, but I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to own them one day."
She was saying these to herself as much as she was saying it to Qiu Mu-Cheng and Ye Fan.
She loved the same wedding dress as Qiu Mu-Cheng did and hoped to wear this same dress when she married the man of her dreams.
But they were now merely insignificant people when compared to those born with a silver spoon.
Insignificant and minuscule, just like dust specks.
Insignificant to the point that even a wedding dress of their heart's desire appeared unattainable.
