Reborn Queen's Uprising

Chapter 18: Mrs Yang's Wild Ambitions

These service staffs were all trained specially and had sharp and ruthless eyes. They just had to glance at the three guests and they were able to tell that the mother and daughter following behind were at most salary earners. It was their first time coming to such an expensive place and it was difficult to tell if they had the economic power to spend here.

However, this girl in front of them was definitely a large customer. Her entire outfit was tailored and suited her perfectly. Although they hadn’t seen the brand before, they could tell that it was a classic design of an overseas fashion designer, just from its exquisite tailoring and perfectly done details. Her expression was calm and natural when she saw the price tags, while her actions were confident and elegant. She must be the little princess of a certain family.

“Xiaoxiao, this price…” Yang Shan stared at the price tag with slight fear and shock. “It’s just an outfit, but it costs twenty thousand dollars? How about we take a look at another piece?”

“Shanshan, the price for this outfit is already rather low. Look around you, which of this costs less than ten thousand dollars?” Tang Xiaoxiao explained patiently, trying to convince the girl, “This is definitely worth the price. Outfits will make your face after all, especially while you are building your image to the public.”

Mrs Yang raised an eyebrow before she pulled her daughter back to her. “How can such an ugly outfit be worthy of my daughter? Xiaoxiao ah, we don’t need you to choose an outfit for my daughter, you can just stand at the side and watch us. Shanshan, Mom will choose an outfit for you, one that is cheap and looks good too.”

Having been told off so blatantly, some awkwardness appeared on Tang Xiaoxiao’s face. Even the female service staff beside them looked a little awkward, as she could only glare heatedly at the rudeness of Mrs Yang.

“Alright, feel free then.” Tang Xiaoxiao wore a polite smile once more on her lips as she gestured for the female service staff to lead her away and tried to ease the awkwardness between them. “Let’s go. We don’t have to worry about them. Are there any new scarf designs from Enrisjena? Please lead me to go and take a look.”

Hearing Tang Xiaoxiao’s words, the female service staff’s eyes lit up. Enrisjena’s scarfs belonged to one of the top scarf brands in the world. It had just entered the China market and the locals who knew about this brand were all frequent spenders of the luxurious brands.

“Miss, this way please.”

Seeing Tang Xiaoxiao’s ‘pretentious’ behavior, Mrs Yang hummed softly as she mumbled, “Who does she think she is? She’s just a poor girl from a small family, yet she dares to gesticulate here! She’s rather good at acting!”

Several service staff beside them snickered softly, derision filling their eyes when they glanced at Mrs Yang. She was calling Tang Xiaoxiao a poor girl from a small family? Tsk! Did she really think she was above everyone else? The outfit Tang Xiaoxiao was wearing cost enough for her family to live on for a year!

“Mom,” Yang Shan reminded her mother, “I think Xiaoxia’s family should be a little rich? It seemed like she was rather generous in spending when she treated the entire crew back on set. It cost several thousand dollars every time.”

“Foolish girl! She’s just acting generously!” Mrs Yang glanced at her own daughter as she nagged, “Think about it, your father is a public servant and we couldn’t even bear to let you do any housework with our family’s conditions. She was so familiar with cooking this morning. Which rich family could bear to let their daughter cook? Only those small families would have their daughters cook.”

Hesitance still lingered on Yang Shan’s expression, as if she didn’t know what to do.

“Foolish girl,” Mrs Yang had no choice but to turn serious as she tapped her daughter’s forehead with a finger. She said lowly, “You’ll be a celebrity soon after this time’s reporters release conference. When that time comes, would you still need a little girl like her to be your manager? Once the conference is over, take the chance and tell her to stop being your manager, got it?! Mom will be your manager personally. Then, us mother and daughter will mingle in the entertainment industry together.”

“Mom, this doesn’t sound too good…” Yang Shan couldn’t bear to be this rude. “Back on set, Xiaoxiao poured her heart out for me and won over the entire cast and crew. She even helped me teach those who bullied me a lesson. If it wasn’t for her, I would’ve long been fired by the director. If I kicked her away right as I’m gaining fame, wouldn’t it be a little mean? I still haven’t returned her the money she spent on winning over the crew…”

“Are you a fool?” Mrs Yang tapped her daughter once more heatedly. “First of all, you only have a verbal agreement with her. Don’t you know that verbal agreements are not legally binding? Secondly, who knows what her thoughts were in helping you win the crew? She’s the foolish one for spending money for you so she can only blame herself. Since she spent money for you willingly, what does it have to do with us? Why should we return her the money? Thirdly, if you really agreed to let her be your manager, how will you split your earnings? You will definitely need to give her some of your earnings. Why should you give her the money you earned? Mom being your manager will definitely be better than her. As for the money… wouldn’t it all become our family’s money? So isn’t that better for us?”

Yang Shan fell silent, as she bowed her head.

“Also, Shanshan, you have to think about it carefully. That girl looks like a seductive vixen. When you find a place in the entertainment industry, you’ll also find a rich and handsome young master and marry into a rich family like those female celebrities… With that vixen’s seductive appearance, what would happen if she seduced your boyfriend? Look at the script of those dramas, aren’t they all about a friend seducing their boyfriends?”

Those words made Yang Shan’s eyes shimmer, as she seemingly remembered the day Tang Xiaoxiao acted against Wen Ruoyi back on set. That kind of arrogant Tang Xiaoxiao, that kind of beautiful Tang Xiaoxiao, that kind of domineering Tang Xiaoxiao, that kind of radiant Tang Xiaoxiao…

Just like a real Queen, people could only look up to her.

No! Impossible!

It could never happen! So what if Tang Xiaoxiao was pretty? So what if she was that beautiful and alluring? She could only stay beneath her feet, forever lowly and second-best.

Tang Xiaoxiao was fated to remain beneath her!

She, Yang Shan, was God’s favored girl, and she would never allow Tang Xiaoxiao to shine brightly!

‘Xiaoxiao, don’t hate me. Who asked you to be so beautiful and have such a dignified aura? Who asked you to be the ice goddess amongst the boys in school? Who asked the boys I liked to like you instead? Who asked for us to be best friends? Who asked for me to become a celebrity before you did?! Wherever I exist will be your, Tang Xiaoxiao’s grave…’

“Mom, I got it.” Yang Shan looked up as her eyes were filled with pretense and coldness.

Mrs Yang caressed her daughter’s head dotingly as she pointed at a black mini-gown with a low neckline. “Shanshan, what do you think of this outfit? I always see that those celebrities on the television like to wear these types of sexy dresses. If my daughter wears it, you’ll definitely look good too… When the time comes, you’ll find a handsome and rich boyfriend and your mom will be able to enjoy the rest of my life with you.”

Yang Shan nodded obediently as she walked over and took a look at the price tag. It was eight thousand dollars. Perhaps, this was the cheapest outfit on the entire floor already. This outfit would be fine.

Seeing that her daughter was rather satisfied with the outfit, Mrs Yang finally huffed her chest, feeling exaltation, before she shouted loudly, “Hey, you service staff, come over quick. Why are you still standing around doing nothing? We’ll take this outfit. Go get one that’s the right size and let my daughter try it on!”
