Xu Lu went in to try on the clothes. Her parents naturally had to wait outside. Seeing that Wei Yan was young, but seemed quite mature and capable, they chatted with her in a friendly manner.

Wei Yan and the two of them chatted very amiably. Her outgoing and open-minded personality gave Xu Lu’s parents a good impression of her.

Soon, Xu Lu’s parents learned that Wei Yan’s grades were very good and she had a high chance of going to high school in the city. They immediately looked at Wei Yan with even more kindness and approval.

“Then you have to continue studying hard. Lulu has also finished her middle school examination this year. I hope you two can go to the same high school next year. Lulu will definitely be happy to be your classmate,” Xu Lu’s mother, Zhou Ran, said with a smile.

Wei Yan nodded. “Yes, I’ll study hard. It’s not easy for my mom to raise me. I want to be successful so that my mother won’t have to work so hard.”

When Li Hai heard Wei Yan’s words, her eyes immediately turned red.

Xu Lu’s parents praised Wei Yan again. “This child is really sensible.”

At this moment, Xu Lu also walked out of the fitting room. She could no longer hide the joy on her face. This dress was so comfortable. Although she couldn’t see her full appearance, she could feel that this dress would definitely look good on her.

Seeing Xu Lu come out, Xu Lu’s parents turned their gazes back to their daughter. When they saw Xu Lu’s dress, the two of them nodded in approval

“It’s beautiful.”

Xu Lu smiled and swirled in front of the mirror.

Xu Lu’s father, Xu Heng, looked at Li Hai and Wei Yan and asked, “How much are these clothes? We’ll buy them all.”

Li Hai’s mouth dropped open in shock. This person was really rich.

Wei Yan wasn’t as shocked as Li Hai. She had already discovered that the other party wasn’t short of money. She remembered that when her mother bought these clothes, the cost was about 80 yuan, but because the style was new, there were no other shops selling them in the county city. Even in the mall downtown, there were few clothes of this style. If these clothes were sold in the mall, they would cost at least 300 to 400 yuan.

Hence, Wei Yan smiled at the two of them. “We didn’t buy much of these clothes to begin with. Since you like them and want to buy three sets at once, I’ll give you a discount. These three pieces of clothes will cost a thousand yuan.”

Li Hai’s eyes widened. Her original plan was that if Wei Yan didn’t like these clothes, she would hang them up and sell them. If someone asked for a price, she would quote a price of about 130 yuan. If someone bargained, she could sell them for about 100 yuan.

But now, Wei Yan priced the three pieces of clothes at 1,000 yuan. Didn’t that mean that each set could be sold for 300 yuan? After deducting the cost, it was equivalent to her earning more than 700 yuan worth of progit from these three sets of clothes.

How could the other party buy them at such an expensive price?

Just as Li Hai was mentally prepared for the other party to bargain, Xu Heng smiled happily. “Alright, these clothes are worth this price.”

With that, he took out ten hundred-yuan notes and handed them to Wei Yan.

Wei Yan took them with a smile and glanced at the things in the shop. Then, she took off a pair of silky gloves and handed them to Xu Lu. “Thank you for buying so many clothes from us. These gloves are a gift for you.”

Xu Lu took the gloves in surprise. This was the first time she had encountered such a thing.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford gloves, but getting them as gifts felt different from when she bought them herself.

Her eyes lit up. “Thank you. My name is Xu Lu. I hope I can meet you again in the future. What’s your name?”

Wei Yan smiled and said, “My name is Wei Yan. I’ll try my best to catch up to you.”

“Yes, I’ll wait for you.” Xu Lu nodded heavily. She was happy from the bottom of her heart and had a good impression of Wei Yan.

Xu Lu’s parents also smiled and chatted for a while before leaving with Xu Lu.

Not long after the three of them left, another figure walked in. Before she got close, she said, “Cousin, it looks like a rich customer came just now. They were driving a car. Did they actually buy your clothes?”

Wei Yan’s heart skipped a beat, and she could barely hide the disgust in her eyes. The person who had come was none other than Li Lin, her father’s mistress, her mother’s cousin, the woman who had destroyed her family!
