I Want A Lifetime With You

Chapter 290

“That’s right, please buy a set for us too!” Song Rongrong jumped in when she heard what Shi Nuan had said. Even Su Yian, who was usually more reserved, didn’t want to miss out. “Ms. Shi, thanks in advance!”

Shi Wei smirked as she tried to maintain her smile. “Fine, since you’re Nuan’s friends, that means you’re my friends too.” Shi Wei glanced at Song Rongrong and commented with contempt, “Rongrong, why haven’t you changed a bit after so many years? Look at your taste!”

“That’s right, that’s why I need you to rescue me!” Song Rongrong always had thick skin – even thicker than that of Shi Wei. She was just a small-time reporter while Shi Wei was a big star, so she wasn’t worried about feeling embarrassed at all.

Shi Wei was infuriated by Song Rongrong’s response. However, she had to maintain her composure as there were many people around, and that they were in St. Dee.

She didn’t forget the fact that she was now a brand spokesperson for St. Dee. Hence, her true purpose of bringing the whole group of ladies there was to show off.

Although Liu Minjun wasn’t happy with Shi Wei, she was still her mother-in-law and was obligated to come to her defense from outsiders. She approached them and glanced at Shi Nuan’s two friends. “Since Wei has agreed to buy them for you, you should go pick what you want. Given that she is the brand spokesperson for St. Dee, she can still afford to buy them.”

Shi Nuan raised her eyebrows in surprise as she looked at Liu Minjun.

The staff at St. Dee had also recognized Shi Wei earlier on, but they were afraid to have greeted the wrong person. When they heard what Liu Minjun said, they immediately greeted Shi Wei. One of them served her tea while another showed her some magazines. They were all fawning over her and nudged Shi Nuan and her companions away.

“Ms. Shi, please tell us which one you fancy? We will get one for you to try immediately!”

When Shi Wei heard that, she gave Shi Nuan a look of contempt as she smirked. “Alright, I’ll take a look at the catalog first.” The few salespersons then scrambled to pass Shi Wei St. Dee’s latest fashion catalog. “Ms. Shi, here it is. Please have a look.”

The few staff were also very attentive. They brought chairs for Shi Wei and her companions to sit and completely ignored Shi Nuan’s group.

At that moment, Shi Wei purposely called out to Shi Nuan. “Nuan, don’t just stand there, come and have a seat. Or you can browse around to see what you fancy and then give it a try?”

Shi Nuan replied with a smile. “Alright!”

Then she picked up a catalog and stood aside with her friends to take a look.

Song Rongrong had always despised people who put on an act. “I don’t know why Shi Wei is so proud of herself. She’s just the brand spokesperson of St. Dee, while you’re the owner of the company itself!” Song Rongrong was angry at Shi Wei’s attempt at trying to put them down. “Why did you pull me aside? Didn’t you see her just now? She was obviously trying to act as if she owns the place. Does it mean that she wants St. Dee to give the clothes to them for free?”

Shi Nuan squinted her eyes and shook her head. “Don’t worry. She won’t be able to!”

Maintaining her calm composure, Shi Nuan browsed through the catalog patiently with Song Rongrong. “Yian, do you think if this would look good on Rongrong?”

Su Yian took over the catalog, and her eyes sparkled when she saw it. “Looks great. I think Rongrong will look wonderful in it. It more or less matches her own style. Rongrong, what do you think?”

“How can it be more or less. St. Dee is a ladies’ brand for those who are more feminine. While I am…” Song Rongrong protested. However, when her gaze fell on the picture of the outfit, she couldn’t help but be attracted to it.

From the look on Song Rongrong’s face, Shi Nuan knew that she liked the outfit a lot. She waved her hands. “Please bring this for us to try!” Shi Nuan held up the catalog and pointed to the outfit in the picture.

Although the salesperson was reluctant, she still attended to Shi Nuan as she guessed that she was likely Shi Wei’s sister. However, when she saw which outfit it was, her expression changed. “I’m sorry, Miss. We don’t sell this here.”

“You’re not selling it?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Shi Nuan raised an eyebrow, “Why?”

“We just don’t. Why do you have so many questions?”

“Oh?” Shi Nuan smirked, “Is this what St. Dee’s service is all about?”

“What’s wrong?” Shi Wei heard approached them when she heard Shi Nuan’s conversation. “Nuan, which one did you pick? Let me have a look?”

When Shi Wei saw it, her expression turned awkward. “Nuan, I’m sorry, I already chose this as a gift for…”

“Oh? Didn’t the salesperson say that it’s not for sale?” Song Rongrong couldn’t help but say it out. “Wei, didn’t you say that you wanted to buy it for us? Why are you changing your mind now that I have picked what I like?”

Song Rongrong continued to pressure Shi Wei, who was put in the spot. She raised an eyebrow. “That…I didn’t change my mind. Why don’t you pick another one?” Shi Wei sighed. “There are still a lot of other choices here. Just get a different one!”

“But I like that one!”

“But…Since I’m the one giving you the present, shouldn’t I be the one to choose? I really can’t give you this outfit!” Shi Wei made an awkward face and looked towards Liu Minjun.

Liu Minjun was upset too and felt that Shi Nuan and her friends were being rude. Shi Wei was already kind enough to offer to buy them something. “Miss, my daughter-in-law offered to buy you something out of kindness. It’s not for you to take advantage of her!”

“That’s right, why is she behaving that way!”

“Tsk-tsk, she looks poor. I don’t think she can afford it at all!”

“Yeah! She’s just not appreciative of the fact that Shi Wei is a brand spokesperson for St. Dee. Although we can all receive something for free, it doesn’t mean that everyone here deserves it.”

Shi Nuan and her friends were dumbfounded.

They exchanged glances with each other. Just then, Song Rongrong burst out laughing. “Haha! I can’t afford it? Nuan, your sister’s elderly companions are really funny!” I can’t afford it? ”Isn’t everyone getting something for free because Shi Wei is the brand spokesperson?”

“About that…I’m sorry everyone. Although Ms. Shi is our brand spokesperson, it’s not stated within our rules that she can give out any outfits at will.” One of the staff interrupted Song Rongrong when she heard what they were talking about.

Everyone was stunned. Even Shi Wei’s expression had darkened. It was Su Su that broke the stalemate, “Wasn’t it stated that Ms. Shi could pick any outfit she liked from any of your stores?”

“She can. But it’s limited to her own personal use, and only she can wear it. She’s our brand spokesperson, so of course, she can take whichever outfit she likes!”

Shi Wei’s whole face was flushing red just then when Song Rongrong came to a realization. “Oh, if that’s the case, Wei would be paying for a bomb when the bill comes! That’s easily more than ten outfits altogether here! And even if everyone just picked one or two, it would still add up to a lot of money! Let’s just forget it. I can still afford to pay by myself if I see something I like. Besides, money can’t buy affection!”

Song Rongrong turned towards the salesgirl who just spoke to them. “Miss, do you have this in my size? I’m an ‘S’. Please wrap it up for me because I’m buying it!”

Shi Wei interrupted her again. “But I chose it first.”

“Oh? Have you paid for it then?” Song Rongrong smirked. She opened the catalog and casually pointed to a few more items. “I’ll take all these too since I’m in the mood today. It certainly feels wonderful to be spending money during the New Year.”

Shi Wei got even angrier as all the outfits that Song Rongrong had picked out were all chosen by Liu Minjun’s friends.

Meanwhile, the salesperson was happy to oblige the sales. “I’ll wrap them up at once. Do you want all of them in ‘S’?”

Song Rongrong nodded. “Of course. Look at our three slender figures. It definitely had to be a smaller size!” She glanced at the rich housewives behind Shi Wei as she spoke. “Madams, don’t worry. Our

sizes won’t be the same. However, these outfits do look very young. It appears that all of you are young at heart still.”

“Pppffttt!” Su Yian couldn’t hold it in any longer but was quickly silenced by Shi Nuan. Yet, even Shi Nuan was smirking. The salesperson then packed everything up. “May I know if you’re paying by cash or card?”

“Card!” Song Rongrong took out her card, but deep down inside, she felt really guilty. St. Dee’s prices were not for the faint-hearted. She had bought a lot just to put her money where her mouth was. However, it cost her half a year’s worth of savings!

Just when Song Rongrong took out her card, someone stopped her instead. It was Shi Nuan, and she had taken out her own card and said to the salesperson cheerfully, “Use mine! I promised all of you that I would be buying you a New Year’s gift!”

When the salesperson saw Shi Nuan’s card, she looked surprised. When she was about to say something, Shi Nuan quickly shook her head at her. “Take it!”

The salesperson quickly swiped the card. “Erm…Do…Do you still need anything else?” The salesperson’s attitude became more polite that instant.

Song Rongrong and Su Yian couldn’t help but look at Shi Nuan’s card. They were curious as to what made it so special. Regardless of the reason, it must have been something great.

Shi Wei and her companions were equally intrigued when they saw the tremendous change in attitude in the sales staff. They also saw the clothes they have chosen being sold to Shi Nuan instead. Even though Shi Wei was St. Dee’s brand spokesperson, she became upset when she felt that Shi Nuan outdid her.

“Nuan, didn’t I say that I’ll be buying? Why are you paying instead? All these clothes aren’t cheap. With your salary…” Shi Wei stopped halfway and looked at Shi Nuan awkwardly.

Everyone came to a realization and saw Shi Nuan’s expression darken.

She smirked as she kept her card. “There’s no need. Although I make less than you, Shengyuan treats their employees well. I’m not at the stage where I can’t even afford this small amount!”

“That’s right. I forgot that you work at Shengyuan. In that case, we’re actually colleagues since I’m with Xinhuang. And that’s a subsidiary of Shengyuan, right Nuan?”

“I know.” Shi Nuan’s eyes crept up into a smile. “I even saw you during the annual meeting. You were performing on stage, and it was impressive!”
