"Ouch." The woman was already displeased; now she cursed openly: "Don't you have eyes? Can't you walk properly?" "My clothes are all stained; can you afford to compensate me?" The woman said with a pained expression on her face, as this dress was bought for a blind date with Meng Jin, costing her a pretty penny. The woman felt extremely distressed; she had never even worn this dress a second time. "Hey, it's your own fault for not looking where you're going and bumping into my Sister Xiao Yue," Lian Qingyang pushed the person aside and, seeing the woman's face, said with disdain: "Auntie, at your age, you shouldn't be wearing this kind of white dress with flowers on it. Oh no, it's the kind of dress worn by seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls or maybe someone in their twenties, but when you wear it, why does it feel so awkward?" Lian Qingyang didn't hold back his criticism: "Besides, with your dark skin wearing a white dress, it's just too ugly!" "Who are you!" The woman was infuriated by Lian Qingyang's tirade and pointed at him, "You little brat, do you know how much my clothes cost?" "It's so maddening, this red wine stain can't even be washed off." The woman smelled the wine on her dress and felt even more heartbroken. "Star Bright's customized dress." Tang Yue's crisp voice rang out, not only did she know when it was released, but she also recited the exact price without error. The woman looked at Tang Yue dumbfounded. "No way, how do you know?" The woman stared at Tang Yue and asked. Tang Yue said, "Your last name is Lu, right?" "Yes." Lu Min felt as if her brain was in knots, how could this young lady know she was a Lu? "Qingyang, let's go," Tang Yue said, turning to leave but was stopped by Lu Min, who said, "Don't you dare go, even if you recognized my last name and knew where and how much my dress cost, you should compensate me even more." "I'll have you know, my brother-in-law is a manager at Meng Family," Lu Min said arrogantly. Tang Yue glanced at her and said, "Heh, so what if he's Manager Meng from Meng Family? Can a Manager Meng bully others with his status? It was you who bumped into me, I didn't throw red wine on you. I was about to say you spoiled my wine." "Exactly, do you know what wine this is?" Lian Qingyang handed the wine bottle forward, placing it in front of Lu Min and said, "Old auntie, take a good look, this bottle of wine is worth more than your dress!" "Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a beautiful dress, it's a total waste on you," Lian Qingyang lamented, as this was a dress made by Sister Xiao Yue, such a beautiful dress worn by such an old and unattractive woman, it felt like such a pity. "Can't you speak properly? What old auntie? Am I that old?" Lu Min hated it most when people said she looked old, not to mention Lian Qingyang suggesting she wasn't fit for the dress, Lu Min was even unhappier inside, she glanced at the wine and said, "You're lying, right? This wine is more expensive than my dress?" Lu Min clearly showed strong skepticism towards Lian Qingyang's words. "Why don't we go to the restaurant and ask?" said Lian Qingyang, suggesting they go inside the restaurant. Naturally, Lu Min was reluctant to do that – how humiliating would that be? Not to mention, Meng Jin was still inside the restaurant. Lu Min pursed her lips and said, "Who asked you to carry red wine while walking? It's your fault for damaging the dress, you must pay for it." "We like it, what does it have to do with you?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want us to compensate for your dress, it's not out of the question." "Sister Xiao Yue, why should we compensate?" Lian Qingyang didn't understand. Tang Yue said, "We'll give you the money, but you'll have to take off the dress you're wearing." Tang Yue waved a handful of money in her hand, sizing up Lu Min from head to toe. For the sake of looking beautiful, Lu Min was wearing only a dress underneath, with a thin coat on the outside. That thin coat certainly couldn't be worn alone. "No way." As soon as Lu Min heard this, she immediately objected: "If I take off my dress, what am I supposed to wear?" "I've already bought your dress with my money, how else do you want to handle this?" Tang Yue said coolly: "Or how about this, call your manager brother-in-law now, and see if this precious manager really can't tell right from wrong." Upon hearing this, Lu Min's face instantly changed color. Zhou Lai, her brother-in-law, always disliked family members using his name to intimidate others. If he knew that she hit someone and then demanded they compensate for the dress, wouldn't he be furious? Not to mention, her sister Lu Hui had long advised her to drop the idea of bothering Meng Jin. If Lu Hui knew that she just had a quarrel with Meng Jin, she would definitely scold her. "Hmph." Lu Min stomped her foot, grumpily saying: "If you don't compensate, then fine. My dress is ruined, but I won't compensate for your wine either." Lian Qingyang raised the wine bottle in his hand and then, holding the bottle, splashed it onto Lu Min, saying: "Let me tell you, this wine is way more expensive than your dress!" Lu Min almost went crazy. Lian Qingyang deliberately splashed the wine onto her face and body, and now Lu Min was even more disheveled than before. Lian Qingyang pulled Tang Yue away. Bai Qing kicked a banana peel over very kindly. Soon after, they saw Lu Min slip on the banana peel and fall face-first into the dirt. "Hahaha, that's what she gets for bringing it upon herself." Lian Qingyang laughed unabashedly, and it wasn't until they were back in the alley that Lian Qingyang proudly said: "Sister Xiao Yue, you see how well I taught her a lesson, right?" "It's a pity about that dress, a pity about the wine." Tang Yue gave him a sidelong glance and said: "Qingyang, there was still so much wine left in the bottle, why didn't you save it?" Wine on a white dress is impossible to wash out. She wouldn't be able to wear that dress again! Since that's the case, the remaining wine should have been kept. It was so expensive, just thinking about it felt like a waste. "Eh, Sister Xiao Yue, are you feeling sorry for that wine?" Lian Qingyang leaned in with a smile, asking mysteriously. "Of course." Tang Yue felt that Lu Min was sufficiently chastised, but still regretted the loss of such good wine... ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel fire.net "That wine wasn't really good wine at all. When we left, I brought the leftover wine we had before; it definitely wasn't Lafite." Lian Qingyang said with pride: "Sister Xiao Yue, none of you drink red wine anyway, so I just casually ordered a bottle, but I didn't order the best." "It's not even one-tenth the price of that dress." Lian Qingyang added as he spoke. Tang Yue relaxed considerably and said: "Then that's good, I'll have to mention it to Sister An Yu later, we won't do business with her anymore." Tang Yue did remember Lu Hui, as it was Lu Hui who came to design the clothes. But somehow, the clothes ended up with her sister. If she remembered correctly, Lu Hui's husband was Manager Meng. It was An Yu who mentioned this, reminding her at that time, so she remembered it.
