Chapter 555: Chapter 554: Mass Release 34

After Hu Yue made her deposit, the two of them went to the Department Store together.

Xu Niannian wanted to buy some clothes for the little baby, but it seemed that oddballs were abundant this year more than ever.

Just as Xu Niannian took a liking to a very pretty little dress, it was suddenly snatched away by someone else.

She grabbed the dress from Xu Niannian’s hand, turned around, and said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, do you like this dress? Does it look nice?"

"Lovely, lovely, let’s buy it for Linlin. She will definitely like it."

Delighted by her mother-in-law’s approval, the woman turned to a sales clerk nearby and asked, "I’ll take this dress, how much is it?"

Xu Niannian found it amusing, what kind of people were these?

Why were there so many weirdos lately?

Without a second word, Xu Niannian snatched the dress back from the woman’s hand before the sales clerk could speak and said coldly, "Sorry, I’m taking this dress."

"Hey, why are you snatching my dress?" The woman looked at Xu Niannian, only now noticing what the person who snatched her dress looked like.

Anyone taken aback by Xu Niannian’s face would find her stunning, and the woman was no exception. She didn’t feel jealous, but she found Xu Niannian annoying.

What’s the point in snatching her dress?

She furiously glared at Xu Niannian, "Didn’t your mother teach you any manners? Why are you randomly snatching clothes from people?"

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but laugh at the woman, what the hell, who’s snatching from whom?

"I don’t know if my mom taught me manners or not, but I do know, your mom didn’t teach you any."

"Hey, why are you insulting people?" The woman, unhappy, confronted Xu Niannian, "Snatching what I set my eyes on is one thing, but you’re also insulting me, is there no justice left?"

"Miss, I’m afraid you got it wrong, it was you who snatched my dress first. Clearly, I spotted this dress before you, how did it become yours?"

Xu Niannian really admired the woman’s skill in turning the tables.

She looked pretty good, so why be so annoying? Snatching her dress and then claiming Xu Niannian snatched it from her, that’s truly shameless.

"You spotted it first?" The woman obviously paused for a moment, "If you liked it, why didn’t you take it? I got to it first, so it’s mine. Who knew you had set your eyes on it?"

"You snatched it from my hands, and you’re asking if I took it?"

Xu Niannian’s annoyance slowly began to change, because she realized that the woman might not have intentionally snatched her dress; she simply hadn’t seen it.

Sure enough, upon hearing Xu Niannian speak, the woman seemed visibly startled.

"I...snatched it from your hands?" Astonished, she turned to her mother-in-law, "Mom, was she holding the dress just now?"

She was a regular at the store, picking out clothes she liked each visit to take home for her daughter.

Just now, as soon as she came in, her eyes were solely on the little dress that dazzled her sight, indeed not noticing whether it was hanging on the rack or in someone else’s hands.

She habitually reached for it.

If it was indeed snatched from someone else’s hands...

Thinking about what she just said, Wen Qian’s face flushed deeply red.

Her mother-in-law hadn’t noticed either because she was standing in front, and Xu Niannian was originally right by the rack.

So, her mother-in-law was also unaware whether it was snatched from Xu Niannian’s hands or taken off the rack.

After hearing Wen Qian’s question, she showed a puzzled expression, "I didn’t see it."

Wen Qian: "..."

She quietly asked the sales clerk, "Um, did I snatch it from her hands?"

The sales clerk, embarrassed, nodded, "Indeed, this young lady had the dress first."

Though Wen Qian was a regular customer, the other customer also seemed wealthy and hard to offend.

So, the truth had to be told.

Learning that she indeed had snatched someone else’s dress, Wen Qian’s fair face turned thoroughly red.

She looked at Xu Niannian, slowly scratched her ear, then fiddled with her hair, and finally struggled to say, "Um, so sorry about that, I didn’t see, my apologies."

Since she had apologized, what more could Xu Niannian say? Besides, it was just a misunderstanding. If she had really intended to snatch the dress, Xu Niannian wouldn’t have let her off so easily.

Since it was a misunderstanding, she let it go.

"No problem, it was all a misunderstanding." Xu Niannian smiled.

"Um, I’m really sorry about what I said just now, don’t take it to heart," Wen Qian continued to apologise, feeling embarrassed.

Xu Niannian smiled, seemingly a girl with genuine temperament.

"It’s fine, I shouted back at you."

Wen Qian, not expecting such a response from Xu Niannian, was surprised and widened her eyes. She hadn’t expected someone who looked so gentle to be so direct in speech.

Wen Qian laughed out loud with a ’pfft,’ "Well, I deserved it, considering I snatched your dress and then accused you of snatching mine. If it happened to me, I would’ve done the same."

Xu Niannian smiled and handed the dress to her, "Since you like it so much, you take it."

"Eh?"

Wen Qian was startled, then hurriedly waved her hands, "No need, no need, you saw it first. You take it."

As she spoke, Wen Qian, in an effort to express her apology, cheerfully said, "It was my mistake just now, let me pay for the dress as compensation to you."
