Chapter 673 - Casting pearls before swine.

At the bridal section of the store, 

Two lady staff were busy showing Wen Sying the designs and patterns they had in the catalogs but Wen Sying eyes were busy, looking at Li Xue, who was sitting at a distance chatting happily with Feng Yi Lan. 

Nothing in the air was looking out of the place, but still, something inside Wen Sying was warning her to hold her guard tight. 

"Ma'am, do you like anything from this?" The female staff asked when they reached the last page of another catalog. They both, looking almost tired of the woman who has become aimlessly picky for the things. 

"Hm? Nope, I didn't like any of this. Do you have more designs?" She asked, feeling frustrated at the things that were simply not coming into her control. "Are you guys even showing me your best designs? Or are you just bluffing my valuable time here?" She yelled with an irritating wet tone, giving an accusing gaze to the women sitting outside, without caring for the people around. It was just a handful of one and she was sure these few people were harmless. 

At her yelling voice, people turned to look at her while the two staff stood up apologetically. "Ma'am we have already shown you our best catalogs and you have checked almost a hundred plus designs. We can …" 

"Are you telling me that it is me who lacks taste and sense of fashion now? Don't you know I am the top-selling model in the industry? Heh? You are offending me with my sense of style. How naïve!" Wen Sying burst out more, seeing the two women standing all docile at her intimidation. "I can't believe I have thousands of followers and you are questioning my sense of fashion. Should I call it ignorance of the facts or just your incompetence to hold your job?"

"You could also call it 'lack of knowledge of useless beings existing on Earth', Wen Sying," Suddenly the voice interrupted from a distance as Feng Yi Lan rose up from her seat and came to solve the things that were troubling the whole environment. "And can you tell me who gave you the permission to yell at my employees?" 

"Your staffs are so incompetent that I just could not control myself from yelling at them", Wen Sying said, looking at the two staffs as like they had owed her millions of dollars in the previous life. 

Feng Yi Lan raised her brow at her. "Oh, the same way I am not able to control myself from kicking you out?" she said in a soft voice that gave the hints of her words to the woman but at the same time did not make it much clear to her comprehension. 

"What did you say?" 

"Nothing to your special concern", Feng Yi Lan said, keeping a forced smile over her lips. Then turning to her people she asked, "What's the matter going here now?" 

"Boss we have shown Ms. Wen our two catalogs of bridal collections, but she isn't able to decide anything among those." One of the two staff members said, feeling a little guilty.

Feng Yi Lan's eyes scanned at the two booklets kept on the table. "Are they from our recently launched collection?" 

The two women nodded again and seeing them nod, Feng Yi Lan only smiled. "Then it's not your fault, dear. You were just casting pearls before swine. Definitely, there would not have been any result." She said and it only made Wen Sying get on the edge of losing her calm. 

"Feng Yi Lan, what do you mean? You are …" 

"I mean nothing. I was just asking my staff to be more competent". She said, before turning and ordering in a milder tone. "If not these, then try to show Ms. Wen the previous booklets. She might like things of old trends. And even if not those, then humbly request her to leave our store, because you people will be very incompetent to take her tantrums".  She said, giving a pleasant look to Wen Sying, which clearly delivered the meaning, it intended to deliver. 

"You can't do that, Feng Yi Lan. I have long decided that my wedding style will be from Aurora Fashions and I will make it happen in anyhow. If not these designs, then you will have to order your team of designers to custom make it for me", Wen Sying said, behaving like a child who got adamant about having a candy that was out of her reach. 

Feng Yi Lan could not help but roll her eyes at her attitude. "Order my team of designers to custom-made a style for you? Heh! Who do you think you are? Queen Elizabeth? Dream on! I am being patient, that doesn't mean I am giving in to your tantrums. It's just for the sake of my brand and the people working here. So, be a little mindful of the way you behave". She said, getting stern towards the end. 

Though the words of Feng Yi Lan sounded reasonable. That's not what she actually meant. She cared for her brand and the people working there, but right at the moment what she cared more for was Li Xue. Since she has something in her head then she will play with her and support her till the end. 

"Yi Lan, you …

"It's Feng Yi Lan for you. Don't make me remind you again". 

"Feng Yi Lan …"

"Yi Lan, that's fine. People are watching around. Don't give them articles to gossip about. Come on, cheer up." At this moment Li Xue appeared, from behind, holding her friend's hand to calm her back. She knew how irritated she must be getting, but seeing her controlling it just for her was something she really appreciates. 

Feng Yi Lan looked at her and nodded. "Sorry, I didn't want this to happen all of today. But I have no idea what to do at this place. I simply can't take this more. It's aching my nerves now". 

"Ohh Yi Lan, there is nothing to panic about. You know it's about weddings and weddings are something that only comes once in a life. So, you should understand Ms. Wen's side too. She is just a little anxious". Li Xue said, taking understanding steps towards Wen Sying. Her face not letting go of the soft amiable smile of hers anywhere. "Right, Ms. Wen?" She asked once getting close to her. 

Wen Sying turned to look at her. Matching her smile to show the people around, she whispered, "What are you planning, Li Xue? I will not let you succeed." 

"…" At her words, Li Xue at once feigned innocence, shrugging her shoulders off. 

"You made a strike in revenge for your sister's death, it didn't do anything to me. Now, it's my turn. Just wait for it". She said warning Li Xue in the soft voice that none could hear. Then turning to everyone she continued to begin in a frail tone that she was crazily known for. 

"Ahh my gosh! I am really sorry. All this time how can I not realize how unreasonable and mean I sounded. I am sorry everyone, but please pardon me. You know how girls get when it's the topic of marriage. We want everything perfect for us. I think that thing hit me hard. It's only now that Li Xue has reminded me, I came to understand the wrong I was doing". She continued, keeping an apologetic smile towards everyone. 

And then looking at Li Xue, she said, "Thank you, Li Xue, for understanding me this well and even taking my stand. But there is one more favor that I would like to ask. Only if you could help me with that too" 

Li Xue's expression got a little surprised when she heard everything. Seeing her that way, Wen Sying smiled the deepest before making her lips curl up into a smirk, for only Li Xue to see.
