CHAPTER 1241: CHAPTER 244: YAN HE TAKES THE STAGE—COURTESY BEFORE FORCE (PART 2)

With a smile of respect that wasn’t overly ingratiating: "Miss, you have a great eye. This dress is the latest work by Mr. Winter, a renowned international designer under our brand. It just debuted at the Milan International Fashion Week and was airlifted back to the country this morning."

Yan Xing thought this dress was not only beautiful but also came with a prestigious background. She tugged at Yun Ya: "Sister Yun Ya, I’m not tall enough. This dress would look best on you."

The store clerk hesitated to speak. This dress wasn’t something everyone could wear, as it had already been reserved by a customer. Just as she prepared to take it down, these two came in. Saying it outright would offend people, so she was contemplating how to word it when an arrogant voice suddenly rang out.

"Ha, can you even afford this dress?" Following that, a young girl in her late teens walked in from outside the store. She was dazzlingly beautiful, but her eyes held a superiority over everyone.

Behind her were two similarly dressed girls, resembling gangsters of the same age. The three walked in with a show of force, casting sideways glances at Ji Yunya.

Yan Xing saw the girl and immediately jumped up: "Song Jinwen? What are you doing here?"

Yun Ya’s eyes narrowed slightly. She had heard Xingxing mention this Song Jinwen many times before. So, this was the girl.

She was indeed very pretty, showing elegance even at a young age. But that disdainful look in her eyes diminished her grace.

As Yun Ya studied the other, the other was also sizing her up. Seeing this girl was breathtakingly beautiful, with a calm and gentle demeanor, her fists clenched slightly: "Ha... The mall isn’t owned by your family. If you can come, why can’t I? Yan Xing, isn’t this girl deserving of an introduction?"

Yan Xing raised her chin, refusing to lose ground, holding Yun Ya’s arm, proudly said: "This is the Yun Ya sister I’ve told you about, my future sister-in-law. She’s amazing! She only tutored me for a week, and my grades surpassed yours in an instant. Remember the bet we made? I’m really looking forward to school starting, hahaha..." She said, hands on her hips, laughing mockingly and triumphantly.

So this was her...

She had heard of Ji Yunya’s name, just a nouveau riche. But Yan Xing treated her like a treasure. Coldly, she glared at Yun Ya’s face, her eyes sharp like thorns: "So, this is Miss Ji? My apologies for not recognizing you sooner. I’ve heard of your reputation. Today’s the first time meeting you, and indeed, as the rumors say...."

The tone was extremely unfriendly.

She loathed this woman, who had made her lose face at school, let Yan Xing crow in triumph. Isn’t she also attending the spring opening ceremony tomorrow? She must make sure to teach her a lesson then. Daring to act wild in the Capital City, hurry back to that rundown place in Jiangzhou.

"Miss Song, I’ve heard Xingxing mention you many times. You’re just as dazzling and overbearing as the rumors say." Yun Ya’s tone was gentle but with hidden barbs, and how could Song Jinwen not catch that?

She sneered: "Not as much as Miss Ji."

Yan Xing stood in front of Yun Ya, spreading her arms like a hen protecting her chick: "Stop bullying Sister Yun Ya, or else I’ll make sure you regret it."

Song Jinwen looked at her as if she were an idiot, "Yan Xing, you must come to the spring opening ceremony tomorrow."

Yan Xing raised her chin: "Of course, I’ll be there."

A gleam of dark light flashed in Song Jinwen’s eyes as she sneered: "Good, I’ll be waiting for you both tomorrow."

Yan Xing puffed out her chest: "As if I’m scared of you."

Song Jinwen knew Yan Xing as if she knew herself. Just an idiot, can’t even hold a pen steady. What talent could she possibly have?

"I admit defeat in grades, but tomorrow, what will you compete with me on? Your chicken-scratch writing? Or your brain that can’t even recognize a music staff?"

Yan Xing’s eyes widened: "I have Sister Yun Ya, she’s good at everything, so I’m not afraid of you."

Yun Ya tugged at her: "Xingxing...."

Song Jinwen sneered: "Alright then, let Ji Yunya compete for you tomorrow. If I win, all our past grudges are settled, and you and Ji Yunya must apologize to me and avoid me in the future."

"What if you lose?" Yan Xing retorted.

Song Jinwen puffed out her chest, raised her head: "I won’t lose."

Yan Xing rolled her eyes: "Don’t be so absolute."

"If I lose, I’d apologize to you both. As long as you can accept it, haha, but I’m definitely not losing."

Yun Ya hadn’t had the chance to hold back Yan Xing, who had already firmly said: "Fine, I agree. You better remember what you said. Whoever backs out will be struck by lightning."

"Just make sure you don’t cheat when you lose." Song Jinwen sneered.

Yun Ya sighed helplessly, this troublesome child. I shouldn’t have come out with her today. Why is she betting with others out of the blue? It’s really not a good habit, but she bets nevertheless, just don’t drag me down with you.
