Fan MeiLi was out shopping, she was super happy because she finally landed a good job. She did have her worries about working at such a big company but if she stayed out of trouble she wouldn't draw attention to herself. When she came home she noticed that she needed a new wardrobe, she had a few good clothes but none that would work well in such a grand company. Zhang Jing was nice enough to tell her about the best shopping malls in the city that had great deals.
After shopping for a while she bought some really nice business dresses and a nice workbag and was ready to return home. Just as she was leaving one store she happens to see a beautiful red lace dress in a sale window that called to her. Usually, Fan MeiLi would never waste money on needless pointless personal items but the dress seemed that it should be in her hands.
Going into the store she stared at the dress and the feeling of obtaining it only grew stronger. Without taking her eyes away she got a sales lady attention, "Miss, this dress is it one of a kind?"
The sales lady saw Fan MeiLi enter the store but was greatly disappointed by seeing her bags, she figured that Fan MeiLi was low-class and couldn't afford anything in the store. She was just about to ask her to leave when Fan MeiLi asked her a question, not wanting to be rude or draw attention she put on a kind face and answered.
"Yes, this dress is the only one in the world and we were the lucky store that is able to sell it. The prize treasure of our store for the month." The sale lady said with great enthusiasm.
Fan MeiLi could care less about how the sales lady tried to brag about the dress she already had her answers and knew what she wanted. She soon pulled out a card that rarely saw the light of day and handed it to the lady. "I want this dress, ring it up, the cost doesn't matter." Fan MeiLi said with a smile as she stared at the dress with happiness.
The sales lady was shocked when she saw the card that was pulled out, it was a limited black card that was only given to a select few. She was so happy that she didn't say anything rude to this customer she might have dug her own grave if she got on the wrong side of her. She quickly ran to ring up the purchase, happy that she made the sale of the limited treasure of the store.
While Fan MeiLi waited for the sales lady to return she heard a loud voice behind her, "Look at that dress, it would be perfect to draw his attention. I must have it!"
Turning around she saw a pretty young lady with golden brown hair and green eyes pointing at the dress she just bought. When the sales lady return to give Fan MeiLi's card back she saw Nancy Wu the young miss of the Wu family staring at the dress.
With a nervous smile, she walked over to Nancy Wu, "I'm sorry miss Wu but this dress has already been purchased. We have other great items if you wish to look." The sales lady said trying to ease the situation.
When Nancy Wu heard the sales lady words and then saw Fan MeiLi standing in front of the dress she smirked. From the looks of the bags, Fan MeiLi was holding she knew that she wasn't anyone important and walked toward her with a cold and noble aura.
"Did you just buy this dress?
At first, Fan MeiLi wanted to leave but seeing the smirk on miss Wu's face, something made her stand her ground. She gave a sweet smile, "Yes, I did buy this wonderful dress. Why?" She asked.
Nancy Wu just sneered inside while watching this poor girl try to act tough in front of her, it was like she couldn't read the mood.
"I fancy this dress and wish to have it, so be a dear and give it to me."
"Oh! What a shame, it seems you'll have to learn the long lesson of not getting what you want." Fan MeiLi said with a smile.
Nancy Wu started to get angry when she heard the underlying mocking tone in Fan MeiLi's voice but calmed herself when she thought about being in public.
"Listen, I'm Nancy Wu. The young miss of the Wu family and I desire this dress, so if you don't want trouble then give me the dress.
Fan MeiLi saw that they have finished wrapping the dress up and gave Nancy Wu a mocking smile, "Miss Wu, I could care less about who you are because I have no reason to give you anything I purchased. Now if you excuse me I'll be on my way."
Fan MeiLi than took her dress and started to leave the store not giving Nancy Wu another moment of her time. Nancy Wu stood in shock at how she was disrespected by someone beneath her, never in her life has someone talked back to her in such a manner.
Clenching her fist she glared at the door Fan MeiLi exited and stated in her heart that Fan MeiLi better never cross her path again or she would pay dearly.
Meanwhile, Fan MeiLi was catching a taxi with a huge smile on her face, but fate was already hard at work. The buying of that red dress would be the beginning to Fan MeiLi mystical journey.
