"Twenty thousand for a high - end custom dress isn't expensive. Do you think I can't afford it?"
Hearing this, Lisa's expression turned extremely ugly. Her hand, still held in front of her, didn't drop.
A chill ran down Lin Zhirou's spine. She began to think of the worst. "Don't tell me this dress costs two million. You might as well rob a bank."
Upon hearing this, Lisa shook her head.
"Of course not. This dress was brought from the fashion capital, and there's only one such dress in the world. Moreover, it was the finale piece and was worn and presented by the well - known model Moid. It cost me 200 million when I got it."
At that moment, Lin Zhirou's face instantly changed. She even wondered if she was dreaming. A single dress costing 200 million? She might as well just sell herself.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Lin Zhirou clearly didn't believe it. "What's the difference between this and robbing a bank? Show me the proof. If the proof says this dress costs 200 million, I'll compensate you right away."
Watching her speak so casually, as if she could really afford it.
Lisa sneered, then turned around and took out the proof from the drawer. Everything was clearly written on it, including the price of the dress and its background story.
She handed the proof to the woman. Lin Zhirou's face gradually became ugly, turning alternately green and pale. She never thought that such an ordinary - looking dress could be sold at such a high price.
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Shen Jianyi simply stepped forward. With a smile on her face, she said to Lisa, "Get me another dress. I'll deal with the two of you later."
"Okay!" Lisa immediately went back to the second floor.
The clothes hanging on the second floor were generally high - end custom - made ones. Of course, the dress Lin Zhirou had damaged was originally prepared for Shen Jianyi. It was a pity that she probably couldn't wear it now.
She selected three or four dresses suitable for Shen Jianyi and then brought them all downstairs.
Among these dresses, Shen Jianyi immediately took a fancy to the long, form - fitting, bright red dress. This dress caught all her attention.
To be honest, at first, she didn't take a fancy to the dress Lin Zhirou had snatched. Although it was brought back from the fashion capital and there was only one in the world, she didn't like it and might not take it away.
On the contrary, Lin Zhirou didn't know what was on her mind. She had to fight for it. Well, now she had snatched the dress, but unfortunately, it was damaged. She still had to pay for it and couldn't wear it out either.
Shen Jianyi casually pointed. "This one."
Lisa took out all the dresses and took her to the fitting room to change.
At this moment, only Lu Jinsheng and Lin Zhirou were left in the hall.
"Jinsheng, can you help me pay the 200 million first? I'll pay you back when I get my film payment."
It was really difficult for her to come up with 200 million all at once. The main thing was that she simply didn't have that much money, and she couldn't tell her parents about this.
The Lin family was bankrupt. They couldn't possibly come up with 200 million. They might even have to borrow from the bank. Lin Zhirou had really caused a huge problem this time. It was simply a disaster for their family.
She thought Lu Jinsheng would soften his heart and help her, but she never expected that this man remained expressionless from beginning to end and showed no intention of helping her.
Lin Zhirou spoke again. "Jinsheng, for the sake of our long - standing relationship, please help me."
Hearing this, the man frowned tightly. His emotions remained calm, and his voice was cold. "There's no such thing as a relationship between us."
"How could your heart be so cold?"
Lu Jinsheng was too lazy to bother with her. If she had caused the trouble, she should find a way to solve it herself. He wasn't Lin Zhirou's father, and he didn't have to help her.
Watching Lin Zhirou's anxious look, Lu Jinsheng walked straight past her and sat on the sofa beside him, patiently waiting for the woman to come out of the fitting room.
A few minutes later.
Shen Jianyi pushed open the door of the fitting room. Wearing this bright red long dress, she was like a temptress from the mortal world. This color made her originally fair skin even more crystal - clear, almost glowing white.
The man sitting on the sofa was completely stunned. His dark eyes simply couldn't leave the woman.
Seeing this scene.
In the corner, Lin Zhirou gritted her teeth secretly while holding the torn dress. Why was she so lucky? Why did she have to snatch away the life that originally belonged to her?
Lin Zhirou took a deep breath. Since Lu Jinsheng wouldn't help her, she would turn to her cash cow. She couldn't just lose face here.
She bravely took out her phone from her bag, skillfully entered a phone number, and then made the call.
On the other end of the phone came a man's out - of - breath voice.
"Zhirou, why are you calling me at this time? Did you think it through about what I mentioned to you before?"
A week ago, Director Liu, a well - known director in the entertainment circle, had taken a fancy to her and proposed various conditions, but all were firmly rejected by Lin Zhirou.
The other party wasn't discouraged and gave her some time to think. He said that she could call him whenever she had made up her mind.
He originally thought this woman would think for a few months. After all, she wouldn't realize his importance until she encountered difficulties. But now it seemed that he had overestimated her.
Lin Zhirou carefully lowered her voice, trying not to let others hear.
"I'm in trouble now. I need 200 million."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then he gave out a series of numbers. Director Liu's voice was slightly mellow. "Tell him to use my card number. The password is your birthday."
Hearing this, Lin Zhirou was stunned for a moment but quickly came to her senses. She whispered some sweet words and then hung up the phone.
Now that she had Director Liu's card number, was she still afraid she couldn't afford to compensate for a dress?
So, Lin Zhirou walked up to Lisa with her head held high and said proudly, "Use this card number."
Lisa nodded and then swiped 200 million from it.
"I didn't expect Miss Lin to be a hidden rich woman. Then why were you so embarrassed just now?"
Lin Zhirou was too lazy to bother with her now. Her attitude was completely different from before. She was even a bit arrogant.
"Go and get that dress for me." She pointed at the star - themed dress hanging on the second floor.
Since money was coming in, Lisa was going to make a profit no matter what. It would be stupid not to make money, right?
She went up to get the dress and carefully handed it to Lin Zhirou, showing a polite smile on her face. "Miss Lin, do you need me to help you put it on?"
"Take it away. I don't want this one." Lin Zhirou pointed out seven or eight dresses on the second floor. "Bring all those down for me. I want to try them one by one!"
It was obvious that she wanted to make things difficult for Lisa.
