Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

"It's really beautiful." The young woman called Xinyi spoke softly, her voice sweet as honey.

The two women kept their backs to Chen Youen, so Chen Youen couldn't see the young woman's face. She could only judge from her voice that she was probably a gentle girl.

As soon as Xin Yi finished speaking, Ye Wanjie waved to the shop assistant, "This one, bring it to us to try on."

Unexpectedly, the shop assistant looked troubled as soon as she saw the wedding dress. "I'm sorry, ma'am, this is a limited edition. There's only one left, and it was just reserved by an engaged couple yesterday."

She bowed apologetically, "It was our oversight that we didn't take it to be resized in time. It shouldn't have been here in the first place. Would you two like to take a look at some other styles?"

Ye Wanjie's face immediately darkened. Her fingers, adorned with exquisite manicures, lingered on the wedding dress, clearly dissatisfied with the shop assistant's response.

Seeing this, Xinyi, who was next to her, immediately took her arm and said gently, "Auntie, let's look at some other ones. Actually, I don't really like this one either."

She smiled reassuringly at the shop assistant, "We'll look at other things, and we'll come to you if we need anything else."

The shop assistant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but just as the two turned to walk towards another area, the shop assistant's phone suddenly rang.

She quickly walked to a corner and answered the phone, "Hello, Sister Wang? Yes, you mean that strapless dress? Yes, it's still in the store, I'll have someone deliver it to you right away."

"Yes, I'm sure it's the one Mr. Lin Xiaoyan ordered, not Mr. Lin Zhou. I wouldn't mistake either of these Mr. Lins. Okay, I'll have someone do it right away..."

However, before the shop assistant could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed something was wrong. She looked up abruptly and found that Ye Wanjie had returned at some point and was standing a step away from her.

The shop assistant's words came to an abrupt halt as Ye Wanjie interrupted her call.

"You just said, who ordered this wedding dress?"

Ye Wanjie came on strong, and the shop assistant immediately covered the phone and hurriedly said to the person on the other end, "I'm sorry, Sister Wang, I have another customer here. I'll call you back later."

After finishing the call, he hung up and put his phone in his pocket.

She looked at Ye Wanjie again with a professional smile. "I'm sorry, ma'am, we are not allowed to disclose clients' names. I was just confirming the work details with my colleague. I shouldn't have mentioned it in front of other clients. This is my dereliction of duty. Please forgive me."

"Don't give me that!" Ye Wanjie retorted without buying it. "Don't use your dereliction of duty as an excuse. I don't care whether you were derelict in your duties or not, I heard you. Didn't you just say that Mr. Lin Xiaoyan had reserved this wedding dress?"

Ye Wanjie was too fierce, and the shop assistants were already struggling to cope, so they could only remain silent and try their best to maintain a smile.

She didn't speak, but Chen You'en heard it; she had indeed mentioned the name 'Lin Xiaoyan'.

If Chen Youen hadn't known beforehand that Lin Xiaoyan had brought Shen Feiwan here yesterday to order a wedding dress, she might have thought it was just someone else sharing the same name.

But that's the truth.

She continued to pretend to look at wedding dresses, while subtly observing the young woman named Xinyi—a plain face, an ordinary appearance that would disappear into a crowd.

Chen Youen didn't think Lin Xiaoyan would be interested in such a woman, especially since his world had once included a stunning beauty like his good friend Shen Feiwan. How could he possibly be interested in such an ordinary person?

However, Chen Youen did not pay much attention to this ordinary woman.

She quickly looked away, pretending to be interested in a fishtail dress, but actually listening intently to the sounds behind her.

"Which Lin Xiaoyan is it?" Ye Wanjie's voice had become sharp and aggressive.

The shop assistant was in a difficult position and bowed deeply to Ye Wanjie, saying, "I'm so sorry, ma'am. I really can't disclose a customer's privacy so casually."

"I heard everything!" Ye Wanjie suddenly slammed her hand on the display stand. "Since it was your mistake, then call your store manager. I'll wait here."

The shop assistant had actually noticed Chen Youen's presence long ago, but she managed to maintain a professional smile. "Okay, please come with me to the VIP room. I'll ask our manager to come over later."

As she spoke, she led the two of them to another room.

Chen Youen watched the three disappear through another door and pursed her lips.

She casually fiddled with the wedding dress on the hanger a couple of times, and after confirming that she could no longer follow her, she pretended to be nonchalant and went out to find Shen Feiwan.

When Shen Feiwan saw Chen Youen come out, she immediately locked her phone and put it in her pocket.

She looked at Chen Youen and asked, "So, what did you hear?"

Chen Youen stepped forward and took Shen Feiwan's hand.

As she pulled Shen Feiwan away, she said, "Let's leave here first. This isn't the place to talk."

Although Shen Feiwan was curious and puzzled, she tacitly refrained from asking further questions.

After leaving the bridal shop, Chen Youen pulled Shen Feiwan to the coffee shop across the street.

She even found a spot with a great view to sit down.

Only after they were seated did Shen Feiwan speak, "Now you can tell me, what exactly happened?"

Chen Youen said, "It seems that Lin Xiaoyan's mother doesn't know that he's going to marry you."

Shen Feiwan nodded, "Continue."

"She saw a wedding dress she liked inside, but the sales assistant accidentally let slip that Lin Xiaoyan ordered it yesterday. She was furious and immediately demanded to know which Lin Xiaoyan it was. It seems the girl who came with her to look at wedding dresses is the daughter-in-law she's looking for. The girl's name is Xinyi, but I don't know her last name."

After listening, Shen Feiwan chuckled, "Anyway, his mother definitely doesn't like me."

“That girl is quite average-looking,” Chen Youen continued to analyze, “so Lin Xiaoyan’s mother must have ulterior motives for taking a liking to her. The key is Lin Xiaoyan, what does he mean? Hasn’t he told his family yet? I don’t think his mother is someone to be trifled with. Isn’t this just asking for trouble for you?”

Shen Feiwan chuckled, "It doesn't matter. I used to care a lot about his mother's opinion when I liked Lin Xiaoyan, but now I don't care at all."

She raised her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Her opposition is exactly what I want. Lin Xiaoyan insists on forcing me to marry him, so I'll make him regret marrying me. His mother is an indispensable factor in this. With his mother around, my marriage with him will be a complete mess."

Sunlight streamed through the glass window, illuminating Shen Feiwan's face and clearly revealing the calculation in her eyes.

"Are you serious?" Chen Youen clicked her tongue. "I knew I shouldn't have dragged you out. We should have let them run into you on the spot! They could have confronted her head-on!"
