The Boutique

After Liu Wei researched Su Kai's background she headed downstairs to the main lobby to grab some food then headed towards the shopping mall nearby. She needed to buy a very sexy dress, after all she was trying to take all the attention away from the main couple.

Walking around the mall was a great feeling as she never really got the chance to spend her money in her previous life. She was always taking care of the household and Lu Han made sure she didn't socialize with the other rich heiresses.

She found herself in a small boutique that was hidden in a little corner of the mall. There was a young lady around 25 years old that greeted her. "Hello Miss, can I help you with anything?"

Liu Wei usually doesn't like to talk to sales people as they tend to be more about the commission rather than actually helping, but she was in a time crunch. "Sure I'm looking for a dress that will be jaw dropping enough to steal the spot light. Would you have any of those?"

"You know, I might just have what you are looking for. Just by eye balling your measurements, I believe the dress in the back is tailor made for you. " She says as she smiles brightly. She seemed more excited than Liu Wei to try on the dress. The moment the sales lady came out she saw the dress and she instantly fell in love with it.

She went to the back to quickly try it on and the dress fit her like a glove. It seemed like it was made specifically for her. The dress was floor length, champagne colored with a slit on the right side all the way up to her upper thighs. The dress was see through with lace designs that were strategically placed all over the dress, the spaghetti strap accentuated her perfect sized bosoms and the back of the dress was open all the way to her lower back while the bottom half of the dress hugged her curves just in the right places.

It didn't take away from her beauty at all but it enhanced it to another level. "Who is the designer for this dress?" Liu Wei was so happy with the dress that she wanted to meet this genius of a designer.

The sales lady started blushing from the compliment. "I'm actually the designer, this is my shop. But since I'm not that famous and my shop is off the path of the regular flow in this outdoor mall, I don't get many people coming in. This will be my last month here, as the rent is too much for me. I'm unfortunately unable to keep up with the expenses. I can give you a discount for that dress, that was my last design. It's my pride and joy"

Liu Wei felt bad to hear that this lady was going through some tough times "Don't worry, I will pay full price. It's such a lovely dress, it deserves the full price. What's your name?"

"Oh, thank you so much miss, my name is Sun Likun" Sun Likun said, she didn't recognize Liu Wei because she wasn't in tuned to who the latest it model was. She was too busy trying to keep her head afloat with her finances. Just when she was about to ask who this pretty lady was a couple of customers entered the boutique.

Two ladies came in chattering away, they looked like a mother and daughter team. The younger one was a bit haughty as she hollered at the sales girl "Is there anybody here, I'm in a hurry!"

Sun Likun rushes out of the dressing room area to greet the two customers, "Hello ladies, I will be right with you, please feel free to browse around the shop. I am currently helping another client at the moment. I shouldn't take too long, I appreciate your patience."

The young lady harrumphed and started complaining to her mother "Mom, even this small shops sales worker is giving me a hard time. I'm so annoyed with everything~! How am I supposed to be happy, when I know that the man I love is going to be marrying someone else? Tomorrow is their engagement party. I want to go, but I don't want to see her ugly face. I just want to slap her every time I see her, but I need to pretend that my heart is not breaking."

"Xiao Yun, everything will be alright. Didn't Lu Han tell you his plan? He doesn't love Ms. Sheng this is only a business transaction. You are still the woman that he loves. You will be Mrs. Lu in a couple of years just wait a bit longer. Not only will you have the Li Family's assets but also the Shengs." Mrs. Xu said as she was excitedly thinking of the billions of yuan in wealth that her daughter would be inheriting in the next couple of years.

Xu Yun smiled after hearing what her mother said and was placated enough to have a better outlook. "I guess you are right, I have already put up with his ex wife for one year what's another?"

Since the boutique wasn't very big, everything that the mother and daughter said could be heard in the dressing room. Liu Wei knew these two women just by the sound of their voices, and they were exactly the two people whom she trusted the most in her past life.

Xu Yun was her best friend during her college years. They were inseparable and she treated Xu Yun as if she were her blood related sister. Liu Wei welcomed her and Mrs. Xu into her family and always gave them the best of everything. When she started dating Lu Han, it was Xu Yun that introduced them. She always found opportunities or coincidences that allowed Lu Han easier access to her. There were also the times when she was confused about her feelings for Lu Han and it was Xu Yun that over praised him by saying that he was a great catch and that whoever ends up marrying him would be super lucky.

Liu Wei guessed that Lu Han and Xu Yun were already an item back then and she was their first victim. What despicable people! for money they would do anything even commit murder. She was fuming inside and she wanted nothing but to march outside and kick Xu Yun and her mother to the moon. But that would be showing them mercy, revenge is a dish best served cold. She needs to reign in her emotions for the bigger picture.

She got dressed and told Sun Likun that she would purchase the dress and to find her a pair of matching shoes. She then walked out to the front of the shop.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Yun turned around when they heard the sound of heels coming in their direction. They're jaws dropped at the sight of the gorgeous lady coming out of the dressing room. They couldn't believe their eyes, as a fashionista Xu Yun knew who was the top model on the runway and on print. She couldn't believe that Liu Wei is in this tiny little shop, buying a dress. She came up to her right away and wanted to touch her hand but Liu Wei side stepped before she was able to.

Xu Yun awkwardly tried to act nonchalant like she accidentally tripped. "Miss Wei I am a big fan of yours! You are such a goddess can I get a picture together? " she excitedly asked.

"I'm sorry but I am incognito and I don't like getting my pictures taken when I am out in public and during my personal time, I hope you understand" Liu Wei said haughtily.

She then turned to Sun Likun and smiled. "Miss Sun, I wish I had more time today to talk with you but I am crunch for time. I would like to hire you to be my personal designer, when you have the time please give me a call and we can talk about the details further. Here is my number, I look forward to hearing from you."

After paying for her dress and shoes she turned to leave, Mrs. Xu and Xu Yun watched her leave. They were still giddy from being in such close proximity to Liu Wei. Just when she was right outside the door, Liu Wei forgot to put on her disguise and she was recognized by some devoted fans. They came up to her and asked for her autograph and a picture.

Liu Wei was a perfect goddess, she smiled and was very obliging "Of course, I wouldn't be where I'm at without my amazing fans"

Mrs. Xu and Xu Yun was flabbergasted by the sight. Did they offend this mega model somewhere? Why were they being ostracized?
