Chapter 17 - Spending money

It did not take to long before both of them made it to the mall. Yun Feng did not wait for Yu Yan to waste more time and grabbed her hand before dragging her along. Soon they made their way too meeting point. The ladies waiting were obviously angry. They had waited for fore more than half an hour. For small fries such as Yu Yan and Yun Feng to make them wait for this long, was humiliating.

Reading the mood Yun Feng hurriedly apologised."Ah, we're sorry. We didn't mean to be late! Ah Yan woke up late and we were delayed. We're really sorry!" Yun Feng did not hesitate to blame Yu Yan. All the women turned to Yu Yan and looked at her unpleasantly. "Yu Yan, who do you think you are? How dare you make us wait for so long?" If it was before, Yu yan would have just been scolded without saying anything back. She had desperately tried to fit into the upper class and had always been a loyal fan would never blame Yun Feng. However, now she was different. There was no way she would take this without saying anything back.

"What do you mean? Why are you here? Ah Feng didn't you say that only the two of us would be going shopping today?"The women looked suspiciously at Yun Feng. 'This b****h! How dare she make me look bad?' "Ah Yan, what do you mean? When I called you a few days ago I mentioned we would be going with a few friends. Maybe you weren't paying attention?" Yu Yan looked innocent as she stated: "Ah Feng, how could you say that? I'm sure you never mentioned it. Besides, when I was eating earlier and you wanted me to hurry up, I remember I said it would be fine since we're not meeting anyone else. You still did not mention anything."

Yun Feng paled. Her schemes had been laid bȧrė, those ladies would understand what was going on. And she was right in thinking that, the women were angered. This no-one dared to use them in her schemes? "Yun Feng, how dare you?" There was no going back now. those ladies would never help her, but she had to appease them somehow. After all, she could not bring more trouble to her family. She had to think of another way to help her father's company.

"Ladies it's a misunderstanding. Why don't we buy you some nice clothes and jewellery as an apology?" That seemed to have calmed them down a bit. Though these women were from prominent families they were nothing compared to the giants like Li, Mu, Wu, Gu and Yang families. Every time they went shopping with Yun Feng and Yu Yan they were always able to bring back plenty of gorgeous dresses and jewellery worth millions. No matter how much Li Yi Feng disapproved of this wife of his, elder Li doted on her. Before marriage, elder Li made sure she had everything she needed, including money. After marriage, she definitely had more to spend as madam Li. Though none of them would still keep in contact with Yun Feng, they did not mind using this opportunity to spend someone else's money. After all, they were given a certain amount as an allowance, but that was never enough. There were always more clothing and jewellery that they wanted but could not have.

The 'we' used by Yun Feng did not go unnoticed. With we, she meant Yu Yan. It had always been like that. Whenever she brought her rich friends, they spent Yu Yan's money as if it was their own. Yu Yan smirked. Since Yun Feng wanted to treat them, she would make sure to make Yun Feng lose a lot of money. She would not be satisfied if Yun Feng did not lose all the money she's saved up.

With even stopping to look at any other stores all of them went into the most pricy store choosing and trying on beautiful dresses. Yu Yan did not pay attention to them and cost to study the newest collections. These were after all, what inn now and gaining more knowledge about what would sell would be good for her. From time to time she would wander back to those other ladies and give them compliments, making sure they would choose the most costly ones. This pleased them. No matter if she was favoured or not she was still madam Li, to have her fawn over them, made them feel proud. If not for being disliked by Li Yi Feng, this women would never dare to bully Yu Yan.

After several hours of looking through everything, everyone except Yu Yan had chosen several pieces. Yun Fen happily came over to Yu Yan, when she finished choosing. It had been a long time since she last went shopping with Yu Yan. All the dresses she had previously bought were out of date and she needed some new gowns for special occasions. These kinds of dresses cost a lot and she could not bear to use her own money to buy them. Especially now that her family situation was bad. Good thing she had someone as stupid as you Yan around to buy her everything she needed. "Ah Yan, we've all chosen what we want why don't we go pay?" "Sure! You go ahead, I urgently have to go to the restroom. don't worry I'll be back soon." Without waiting for Yun Feng to reply, she quickly went out. Going outside, she waited from a spot that could not be spotted from the inside.

"Wait..." Yu Yan had vanished, even before she finished. Looking at the impatient ladies, Yun Feng had no choice but to go to the counter with the rest of them. They had chosen many dresses, so it would take a while before the saleswoman could sum it all up. Since Yu yan would be back soon there should not be any trouble. Easing up, she waited for the bill together with the rest of the ladies. After about two minutes the saleswoman had summed up all the money. Yun Feng had long since started to feel uneasy. Yu Yan was still not back. This sum of money, there was no way she would pay it.

"The total sum would be 360 000 000. Who would be paying?" Hearing the sum Yun Feng almost fainted. In the past, they had never spent this much, but they had spent plenty. She had never flinched then because it was never her money. But now she was terrified. Yu Yan was nowhere in sight and she did not even have that large of an amount on her. One of the women pointed at Yun Feng as she said: "She'll pay." Yun Feng was shocked, she did not expect to be put on the spot. All of them were well aware that Yu Yan was supposed to pay, but these women did not care who paid. Since Yu Yan was not here let Yun Feng pay. "Ah, wait a bit more. Our friend would be here soon." The saleswoman looked suspiciously at her. Obvious contempt in her eyes. Yun Feng was embarrassed she had never felt so humiliated before.
