"You!"
Su Muqiu was startled and withdrew her right hand.
"This white dress is the new fall collection, personally designed by a top British designer with top quality fabrics. Our boss managed to get this one and only piece with great difficulty. "
The salesperson looked at Xiao Zhan and snorted, "Keep your woman in check. Just feast your eyes if you're that poor. It's wrong of you to bring your woman out to have fun when you're broke."
Xiao Zhan's pupils suddenly shrank.
He understood now.
No wonder the salesperson didn't react when Su Muqiu was touching the white dress alone earlier. But as soon as he came to Su Muqiu's side, the salesperson rushed over to stop her.
It turned out he was implicating Su Muqiu!
Although Su Muqiu's current circumstances were not great, she was dressed very finely. She may be low on cash but at least looked wealthy. Xiao Zhan was just the opposite. He had money in his wallet but his clothes added up to at most 300 yuan. One look and anyone could tell he was a poor loser.
Judging a book by its cover, damn it!
"How dare you talk to me like that?"
Su Muqiu's pretty face flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment at being called "Xiao Zhan's woman", she said coldly, "You run a business and won't let people touch if they don't buy. Is this forced purchase?"
"Then let your man buy it for you if he has money."
The salesperson was completely uncompromising, her words were directed at Su Muqiu but her eyes kept falling on Xiao Zhan, chin raised and an obvious challenging look on her face.
"You've gone too far!"
This was the first time Su Muqiu had met such an unreasonable salesperson. She tightened her grip on her wallet slightly and gritted her teeth, wanting to not bother arguing but defend herself. She was ready to directly take out money and buy the white dress.
"What's going on here?"
At this moment, Chen Shaohui and Sun Ziyi heard the commotion and walked over. Chen Shaohui glanced at the white dress and said in a deep voice, "This young lady is my friend. She likes this dress. What's the problem with her touching it a bit?"
As he spoke, he deliberately raised his hand and adjusted his expensive designer necktie, revealing an exquisite Rolex watch on his wrist.
"This..."
The salesperson was stunned for a moment. Seeing the branded suits on Chen Shaohui and the Cartier necklace on Sun Ziyi's neck, her eyes widened in surprise. She immediately switched to a fawning smile and said obsequiously, "If she's your friend, of course she can touch it."
She then smiled at Su Muqiu, "The fitting room is over there, miss. Please feel free to try it on."
"... "
Su Muqiu's face was extremely ugly.
No matter what, Xiao Zhan was her husband now. To have another man pay for her right in front of Xiao Zhan, where could she put her face? What would happen to Xiao Zhan's dignity?
Also, Chen Shaohui was Sun Ziyi's boyfriend. With Sun Ziyi present, wouldn't she be jealous?
"Muqiu, don't just stand there, go try it on!"
Sun Ziyi knew what Su Muqiu was worried about, so she took the initiative and said generously, "It's just over 20,000 yuan. That's pocket change for Shaohui. Consider it a gift from him that I'm passing on to you. What's our relationship? Don't worry, I'm not that petty."
However, she made no attempt to help Xiao Zhan out of his predicament. Instead, she mocked, "Since your man is useless, I'll cover for you from now on!"
As she spoke, she reached out and took the white dress, not giving Su Muqiu a chance to refuse. She pulled Su Muqiu along to the fitting room in big steps.
Xiao Zhan remained silent with knitted brows.
Although Sun Ziyi looked down on him and despised him in every possible way, considering her deep sisterly bond with Su Muqiu, he didn't want to stoop to Sun Ziyi's level.
As for the money, he would step up to pay later. He absolutely wouldn't let that hypocrite Chen Shaohui get his way.
"Oh? This dress isn't bad!"
Just as Sun Ziyi pulled Su Muqiu to the fitting room entrance, a young woman walked into the store and immediately spotted the white dress in Sun Ziyi's hand.
Without a second word, she reached out and snatched it away.
Sun Ziyi's face instantly darkened. She angrily said, "Hey! Who do you think you are? Do you know what first come, first served means? My friend saw this dress first. Give it back!"
"Yiming, I like this dress. Pay for it quickly!"
The young woman completely ignored Sun Ziyi. She didn't even glance at her, as if Sun Ziyi was invisible. She turned and walked to the full length mirror, holding up the white dress and checking it against herself repeatedly. At the same time, she called out towards the store entrance.
"You!"
Sun Ziyi was so angry she stamped her feet. She turned to look at Chen Shaohui.
Chen Shaohui's expression was also rather ugly. He gave a little cough and was about to speak up for Sun Ziyi when a man in his thirties appeared at the store entrance.
"If you like it, buy it all."
The man said casually without even asking the price. He was clearly wealthy.
"Mr. Qian...Qian Yiming?!"
Chen Shaohui recognized the man's identity instantly. His pupils expanded in surprise as he gaped in disbelief.
"Who's Mr. Qian?"
Sun Ziyi frowned in confusion. But judging from Chen Shaohui's reaction, she vaguely sensed that this middle-aged man was not to be trifled with. At least Chen Shaohui didn't dare mess with him.
Chen Shaohui whispered, "Qian Bancheng, the richest man in Quan City. Have you heard of him? This is his son, Qian Yiming! He's also the chairman of the Municipal Martial Arts Association. I'm the vice chairman, so he's kind of my boss..."
"Ah?!"
Though the voice was soft, when it entered Sun Ziyi's ears, it was like thunder. She stood there woodenly, looking at Qian Yiming and then at the young woman trying on the white dress. Her back chilled as she thought in panic, "Phew, thank goodness I held back just now and didn't rush up to snatch the dress back, otherwise..."
"Shaohui?"
Qian Yiming was also a little surprised to run into Chen Shaohui here. The way he addressed Chen Shaohui and his tone showed he regarded Chen Shaohui as an insignificant underling.
"It's me, it's me!"
Even so, Chen Shaohui still reacted with an air of being honored. He nodded and bowed, "I'm so lucky to run into Mr. Qian today. If you have time, I'd definitely like to treat you to a meal."
"Che, bootlicker!"
The young woman glared at Chen Shaohui in disgust, then pointed at Sun Ziyi and asked, "Is she your woman?"
"Yes, yes, she's my girlfriend." Chen Shaohui nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic.
The young woman snorted, "She just tried to grab my clothes. Are you blind? Didn't you see? And she wanted to reason with me? How classless!"
Sun Ziyi's face darkened again.
Ever since getting together with Chen Shaohui, she had risen meteorically. She was used to bullying others daily. When had she suffered such bullying before? But there was no helping it. She didn't dare mess with the son of Quan City's richest man.
Gritting her teeth, I'll endure it!
"It's all my fault. I didn't know Mount Tai. I didn't discipline my woman well enough. How about this? I'll buy this white dress myself as an apology to the young miss and Mr. Qian..."
Chen Shaohui said generously.
The young woman raised her eyebrows in disdain. "Does Yiming lack money? Can't he afford it?"
"Then the young miss means..."
"Have your woman apologize to me!"
"This is..."
Chen Shaohui and Sun Ziyi exchanged a look, their expressions uglier than the other. But Chen Shaohui still signaled to Sun Ziyi with his eyes to do as the young woman said.
Sun Ziyi was so aggrieved she could hardly stand it.
But what could she do? When under the eaves, one has to lower one's head!
"It's all because of you, bastard!"
Sun Ziyi shot a fierce glare at Xiao Zhan beside her, placing all the blame on him. Then she walked up to the young woman in a few steps, respectfully bowed to her, and forcing herself to stay calm, said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
"Oh?"
The young woman looked very smug and deliberately asked, "Wrong in what way?"
"I shouldn't have tried to grab your dress, and I shouldn't have tried to reason with you. Whatever you like is yours, and whatever you say is right..."
Saying this made Sun Ziyi want to vomit.
"You know your place!"
The young woman was very pleased with herself. Carrying the white dress, she sauntered to the checkout counter and snorted, "Wrap this up for me."
"Of course."
The salesperson was also extremely obsequious, none of the arrogance or aggressiveness she had shown Su Muqiu earlier remained.
Such is the charm of money!
The power of status!
Qian Yiming stood at the door of the shop without saying a word, but his mere presence changed everything. Everyone's attitude changed because of him!
Sun Ziyi came back to Su Muqiu with a black face and whispered, "Muqiu, this brother Ming is the son of Qian Bancheng, the richest man in Quan City. We can't afford to offend him. Let's go to another store later to see if they have the same style."
"No need."
Su Muqiu shook her head, "Ziyi, I'm sorry for getting you into this."
"What getting into this and that, it's just an apology."
Sun Ziyi smiled generously and looked at Xiao Zhan again with contempt, "That bastard, not a real man at all. He just watched as someone else snatched away the thing you liked and didn't even dare to fart!"
Su Muqiu also looked towards Xiao Zhan...
"Wait."
Just as the salesperson finished packing the white dress and Qian Yiming was about to pay with his bank card, Xiao Zhan, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and said, "This dress, my wife saw it first. No need to try it, I'll buy it."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
