In just a moment, Mu Ziyue had rushed downstairs, and a slap was about to land straight on Lu Xue's face.
Ding Muyun, standing beside them, a hint of barely noticeable schadenfreude flashed in her eyes, and there was also a trace of secret pleasure in her heart.
But that slap never landed on Lu Xue's face.
Because Lu Xue had grabbed Mu Ziyue's wrist in mid - air.
Lu Xue held her with one hand, freezing her arm motionless in the air, and her tone grew colder by the second.
"Calm down and talk. I don't talk to mad dogs."
Mu Ziyue was extremely angry. She struggled several times to free her wrist but failed.
She turned to the servants beside her and shouted, "Are you all blind? Why don't you come and help me?"
The aunts were in a panic. They didn't know whether they should go and help Mu Ziyue or try to dissuade her.
Aunt Chen weakly advised, "Miss, don't be angry. Let's talk things over slowly. Maybe it's a misunderstanding..."
Mu Ziyue shouted, "What misunderstanding! No one else but her could have messed up my room. All my things are my precious collections, and now they're in a complete mess!"
Rather than being angry because of the mess in her room, Mu Ziyue couldn't tolerate a wild woman who had just been brought back by her brother from outside daring to act so arrogantly in front of her.
Thinking of the engagement contract the old master had arranged, Mu Ziyue was so angry that she seemed to be smoking from the top of her head.
A woman like this wants to be her sister - in - law? She must be daydreaming!
"Who gave you permission to enter my room? Huh? Who allowed you to touch my things?"
Mu Ziyue sneered and raised her chin haughtily.
"I know my things are all valuable. You, a country girl, have never seen such things before and are extremely jealous! But if you wanted to touch them, you could have told me! What's the meaning of sneaking around and touching them?"
Just thinking that this woman had touched all her things made her feel nauseous!
Lu Xue frowned slightly and said coldly, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"You don't know?"
Mu Ziyue shrieked and dragged Lu Xue to the door of her room.
Sure enough, the things inside were in a complete mess, as if someone had rummaged through them in a hurry.
"Let me tell you, that bottle of perfume of mine is worth hundreds of dollars. Even if you sold a hundred of yourself, you couldn't afford it! And that little black dress of mine is a limited - edition one, and my..."
Before Mu Ziyue could finish her sentence, she let out a scream.
"What are you doing? Who gave you permission to touch it?"
Lu Xue had walked over, picked up the bottle of perfume, opened the cap, and fanned the air with her hand.
The scent of the perfume wafted through the air.
"Tsk."
Lu Xue frowned slightly with a hint of regret.
Someone had given her this perfume when she was abroad. She didn't use perfume much, so it had been left unused after it was opened. But she still had a deep impression of its scent.
The bottle in her hand now had the right top and middle notes, but there was a slight deviation in the base note.
Just a tiny bit too strong, and it lost the essence of elegance and tranquility.
"This isn't the genuine product. It's useless for you to keep it." She shook the bottle.
Mu Ziyue became even more furious: "What are you talking about? How could it not be the genuine product? Sister Ding brought it back for me as a gift when she was traveling abroad! I don't understand, but do you? You, a country girl, do you even know what perfume is for?"
Ding Muyun initially avoided eye contact, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but straighten her chest.
That's right. Lu Xue, a country girl, probably had never even touched perfume in her life. How could she know about brands?
You can't explain ice to a summer insect. It's just a pity that she has never seen the world.
"Believe me or not. But a fake is a fake. It's useless to keep it."
Lu Xue walked to the sink as if no one else was around and said indifferently, "How about I pour it out for you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her wrist, and the perfume in her hand gushed out!
Mu Ziyue let out a scream!
By the time she rushed to the sink, it was too late. All the perfume had drained out, and Lu Xue even turned on the water to clean the sink.
Mu Ziyue was shocked. She hadn't expected that Lu Xue would not only sneak into her room and rummage through her things but also have the audacity to pour out her perfume right in front of her...
"This dress is quite nice."
When Mu Ziyue came to her senses, Lu Xue was already standing in front of her wardrobe, looking at the little black dress.
This little dress was indeed a globally limited - edition one, designed by the recently emerging international fashion designer Jane. Because of its classic color and unique cut, it had become a global sensation.
Lu Xue had once had the privilege of seeing this little dress before it was officially designed, so she paid special attention to several details.
"The dress is a good one, but for your figure, it should be worn in a different way."
With that, Lu Xue somehow got a pair of scissors and cut off the laces hanging on both sides with a snap.
