Chapter 158: Clown

EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Lin Miao’s fingertips trembled, and her face reddened considerably. She hadn’t expected the shop owner to show no respect to her, as a customer.

“Do you…do you know that customers are like gods? Doing business like this is so unreasonable!”

Lin Miao struggled to come up with a sentence and thought she had made a strong point that everyone would support.

But the crowd’s reactions were chilly. They didn’t feel that the shop owner lacked respect. Everyone knew that Uncle Li was very kind.

When their relatives and friends got married, they would buy and rent wedding dresses here.

Sometimes, when the newlyweds couldn’t afford the costs and really wanted a particular dress, Uncle Li would consider reducing fees or allow them to pay later.

Nobody had ever accused him of being disrespectful. Besides, Uncle Li’s reasoning was quite sound. Even if he closed the shop to take pictures for that beautiful lady, it wouldn’t be an issue.

Here, whether it was in the countryside or in the city, there was an important marriage custom: the bride must have a flower girl when she got married, symbolizing the early birth of noble children and a harmonious marriage.

If a wedding lacked a flower girl, it was considered a serious taboo, leading to reduced blessings and joy.

Therefore, in this era’s photography studios, apart from models for bridal shoots, flower girls played an especially important role.

Many studios spared no expense to find a child model who could showcase the studio’s style.

This beautiful girl had once been a child model for the shop owner without charging a penny; it was a huge favor!

Someone impatiently said to Lin Miao, “If you’re not going to take pictures, just leave and stop wasting our time here.”

Lin Miao’s lips trembled. Se wanted to say something, but when she saw so many unfriendly gazes, she could not say anything at all. She could only stand awkwardly in place.

Originally, she had wanted to provoke these city folks into mocking Gu Zi, but it seemed that the city’s snobbery wasn’t as abundant as she had imagined.

Ultimately, she became the one being mocked. How could she forget that Gu Zi was the one who grew up in the city?

Why would she use her own weakness to target Gu Zi? Wasn’t this giving Gu Zi a chance to show off? She felt immensely frustrated with herself.

Uncle Li completely ignored Lin Miao and asked Gu Zi, “How are your parents doing lately?”

When Gu Zi was about to respond, Lin Miao interrupted.

Lin Miao thought she had another chance to belittle Gu Zi, as she was the true heiress of the Gu family.

Uncle Li must have been considerate of the Gu family’s face when he chose Gu Zi to be the child model. That’s why he was so polite to her.

She tried to get close to him. “Uncle Li, you don’t know about all the recent events. I’m actually the Gu family’s daughter. We were swapped as children and have now returned to our respective families. Gu Zi’s real family lives in the countryside.”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li felt a bit emotional. Fate often played tricks on people!

He expressed concern for Gu Zi, “I didn’t realize you went through such big changes. Is everything okay?”

Gu Zi shook her head and smiled, “It’s true as she said, but it’s not a big deal. I’ve returned to my original family and am getting married soon. It doesn’t affect me much.”

Uncle Li nodded, feeling a bit overwhelmed. He then turned to Lin Miao and said, “You better go and queue up.”

His tone was full of ‘I’m not close to you.’ After speaking, he led Gu Zi inside without paying any attention to Lin Miao-

Lin Miao was furious! She wished she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

The onlookers couldn’t be bothered with her anymore. They couldn’t understand why she kept inviting disdainful looks upon herself.

However, internally, they couldn’t help but ridicule her foolishness. She thought the beautiful girl relied on her parents’ status to become a child model.

But as it turned out, she had a good personality and was well-liked on her own merits, not relying on her parents’ name to be chosen and favored by the shop owner. This woman was but a clown.

Someone whispered, “Look, the man who was standing next to her just now is now so far away.”

Another whispered back, “He’s a fine young man. How did he end up with such a woman? The two of them don’t seem compatible at all!”

Only then did Lin Miao notice Gong Zhan, who had been standing beside her when they entered, was now quite far away from her.

She felt anxious. Gong Zhan hadn’t said a word to support her, and now he was standing so far away. Did he not intend to go pick a wedding dress with her anymore?

No, his gaze wasn’t even on her; it was fixed on the photo wall.

Gong Zhan didn’t notice it himself. His eyes inadvertently swept across the wall and he didn’t want to look away..
