Chapter 1731: Chapter 1728: Stealing Business

Quite naturally, she stayed with great interest.

Incidentally, when a customer asked where she bought her clothes, she proactively explained: “At Yonghe Clothing Shop, you know, the capital’s unique fabric, only Yonghe Clothing Shop has it.”

“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s check it out. I didn’t expect there to be such a remarkable shop.”

“Yeah, this fabric is just so beautiful, isn’t it?”

“I haven’t worn it yet, no way, it’s so pretty, let’s go check it out.”

“Alright, let’s go.”

Soon, the customers of Bailan Pavilion, all because of Li Chun’er’s response, left out of curiosity and rushed to Yonghe Clothing Shop to see the fresh fabric.

The previously bustling Bailan Pavilion instantly became deserted, with only a few scattered customers remaining, while the clothes displayed on the second floor hung there unattended, sparking no interest or inquiries, adding an air of desolation and decline.

On the first floor, several waiters talked until their lips were dry, yet still couldn’t keep the customers, leaving them so frustrated that their faces turned red.

They hurried upstairs to complain to the shopkeeper.

“Shopkeeper, the customers left, and I don’t even know why.”

The shopkeeper of Bailan Pavilion, pale-faced, was already standing by the side, too angry to speak, yet still had to greet Li Chun’er with a smile.

Zhang Ling’er was even more caught off guard by Li Chun’er’s move. Although Bailan Pavilion had some relation to her family, it wasn’t truly hers. She felt a vague sense of regret, but upon seeing Li Chun’er’s arrogant smile, she repressed that regret fiercely. Regret my foot!

She didn’t believe any shop could directly surpass Bailan Pavilion; it was merely an illusion!

“Miss Li, you see, it was my fault before, and I’m willing to apologize now. Look, is there anything in this shop you like? I’ll take it upon myself to give it to you.” The shopkeeper really couldn’t endure the continuing cold business any longer and had to show weakness to Li Chun’er, hoping that she would take into account the faces behind the Gao Family and stop this act that harmed others without benefiting herself.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ling’er’s sarcastic words came out: “So, Li Chun’er, you came to cause trouble on purpose? Just for a skirt? Alright, I’ll buy it for you.”

She knew what Li Chun’er hated most, and indeed, upon hearing this, the initially pleased Li Chun’er was instantly provoked to anger, “Hmph, this young miss has plenty of silver, do I need you to give me anything? Even two skirts you buy can’t compare to the one I’m wearing.”

“Shopkeeper, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Either have Zhang Ling’er apologize to me, or don’t bother with me. My mouth is my own, and I’ll say what I want. If it’s a lie, so be it, but what I’m saying is the truth. Your store’s clothes aren’t good, and there’s no business—this isn’t what’s expected? Everyone isn’t foolish; they’ll buy from whoever’s looks best.” Li Chun’er was always petty, and after being wronged by the shopkeeper, there was no way she would swallow her pride.

At this moment, she only saw the shopkeeper of Bailan Pavilion as Zhang Ling’er’s accomplice, and wouldn’t give him any face at all.

The shopkeeper of Bailan Pavilion turned blue with rage, yet didn’t dare actually call for someone to throw her out.

But Zhang Ling’er, confidently said, “What’s there to worry about? It’s just a skirt, do you really think others are good too? It’s just a spectacle, and they’ll be back soon.”

“Heh, is that so? I’ll wait with you then.”

“Someone, bring this young miss some tea.”
