Chapter 252 An Unexpected Encounter with the Future Mother-in-Law
Shen Feiwan's temples throbbed; Lin Xiaoyan was like a persistent, stubborn leech. She took a deep breath.
"No, I'm staying at a friend's tonight. Is there anything else? Like news about my mom and brother?"
"...Not yet."
"Then I'll hang up." "Wanwan's heart is so hard..."
Before Lin Xiaoyan's sigh had even faded, Shen Feiwan had already decisively ended the call.
She tossed her phone onto the sofa as if it were something burning hot.
Chen Youen immediately leaned over and fanned her, "Calm down, don't pay attention to him. Are you really not going back tonight? If you really stay with me, then I'll have to make some arrangements for the rest of the trip."
"I'm not going back," Shen Feiwan said irritably. "He might just come to my house and wait for me."
"Okay, you'll come shopping with me. I've been thinking about how Shen Xubai is doing in there these past few days, and it's really bothering me. I need to do something to distract myself. I'm going to shop, shop, shop!"
"Okay, let's buy, buy, buy!" Shen Feiwan jumped up from the sofa and grabbed her car keys. "I'll drive, you can go wherever you want."
Chen Youen jogged to get her bag, saying, "Wait two seconds!"
As the elevator descended, Shen Feiwan put her arm around Chen Youen's shoulder and asked, "What do you want to buy later?"
“I don’t know,” Chen You’en said, fixing her hair in front of the elevator mirror. “I just want to spend money.” She turned and winked at Shen Feiwan. “It’s called a healing therapy.”
“Understood,” Shen Feiwan nodded knowingly, “Then we’ll just wander around wherever we want.”
So Shen Feiwan drove Chen Youen to the commercial street in the city center.
Chen Youen swept through three luxury stores in a row, buying three bags and five pairs of high heels, but she was still not satisfied.
As she stepped out of the store, her gaze was suddenly fixed on the window of a bridal shop, where a mermaid wedding dress adorned with crystals was on display. Thousands of crystals were sewn onto layers of tulle, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight, like a cascading galaxy.
"Wanwan," Chen Youen suddenly grabbed Shen Feiwan's wrist, her eyes shining brightly, "I want to try this on!"
Her eyes, peering through the glass, boldly traced the outline of the wedding dress, and she murmured, "It's so beautiful. I want to wear this wedding dress and marry Shen Xubai."
After saying this with longing, Chen Youen looked at Shen Feiwan expectantly, only to find that Shen Feiwan seemed to have frowned.
She asked, puzzled, "Wanwan, what's wrong? Why do you look like that? Do you think I'm being presumptuous?"
Shen Feiwan quickly composed herself and explained, "No."
Her gaze swept over the brand logos in the shop window. "Lin Xiaoyan brought me here yesterday to order my wedding dress."
"Then... how about we go to another one?"
But Shen Feiwan had already pushed open the glass door. "No need, we're already here." She gestured with her chin toward the shop window. "Come on, let's go in and try this one on."
Chen Youen then asked, "Have you tried this one on?"
"No," Shen Feiwan said calmly. "I don't really want to marry him, so I don't want to try it on. The wedding dresses we ordered were all based on Lin Xiaoyan's preferences; they only took my measurements and made alterations. Let's go."
As soon as she entered the store, a meticulously made-up saleswoman greeted her. "Ms. Shen!" Her eyes lit up instantly, clearly remembering Shen Feiwan. "Are you here with a friend to choose a wedding dress today?"
Shen Feiwan nodded slightly and pointed to the dress Chen Youen had her eye on in the shop window, "Can I say my friend wants to try this one on?"
"Of course!" The sales assistant enthusiastically led the way. "This is our sample garment, and we have many more styles inside." She pushed open the velvet curtain. "You two can take your time looking around. If there are any other items you'd like to try on, I'll bring them out together in a bit."
“Great idea!” Chen Youen thought it was a good suggestion. “Then let’s take a look!”
The store is spacious, and all kinds of wedding dresses gleam under the spotlights.
There are retro court-style ball gowns, with layers of tulle adorned with pearls; there are modern minimalist satin styles, with smooth cuts outlining elegant lines; and there are avant-garde deep V backless designs, with lace inlaid with tiny diamonds.
Chen Youen was dazzled by the sights, and Shen Feiwan stayed with her the whole time.
Just as the shop assistant was introducing a haute couture crystal wedding dress to them, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the doorway.
A clear, smiling female voice came through, "Actually, we should have had Xiao Yan bring you here, but we just happened to be passing by today, so we decided to come and see it ahead of time."
'Xiao Yan'? Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow.
Chen Youen's attention, which had been focused on wedding dresses, finally subsided; she had clearly caught the attention of that name as well.
She instinctively tried to turn around, but Shen Feiwan's hand was already firmly on her arm.
Chen Youen understood and continued to pretend to look at wedding dresses as if nothing had happened, but at this moment she had lost all interest.
She smiled and turned to the shop assistant, "Thank you for your help, but we'd like to take a look ourselves, is that alright?"
"Of course." The shop assistant tactfully stepped aside. "Please feel free to come in. Just call me if you need anything."
"Okay, thank you. You can go ahead and get back to work."
Once the shop assistant was out of sight, Chen Youen immediately lowered her voice and said to Shen Feiwan, "That Xiaoyan that person mentioned just now, could it just be Lin Xiaoyan...? It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
Shen Feiwan's lips curled into a slight smile. "I'm afraid so."
"Really?" Chen Youen said, speechless. "Who was that person who just spoke? Do you know them?"
"Ye Wanjie," Shen Feiwan said calmly, "Lin Xiaoyan's mother."
Chen Youen frowned. "What about the young woman next to her?"
“I don’t know about that.” Shen Feiwan shook her head. “But judging from the conversation, she should have some kind of relationship with Lin Xiaoyan, either dating, having a romantic relationship, or preparing to get married.”
Chen Youen's eyebrows shot up. "What does Lin Xiaoyan mean by this?!" She gritted her teeth and lowered her voice. "He's about to marry someone else, why is he still keeping you tied down?"
Shen Feiwan shook her head again, "I don't know. I'm not interested in his affairs at all right now, and I haven't made any special efforts to find out about him recently."
Chen Youen looked around, her gaze sweeping across the store.
Then she took a few more steps inside, stood on tiptoe, and peered into the area further in. Afterward, she quickly returned to Shen Feiwan's side and said in a low voice, "There's also a wedding dress section inside. Wait here for me, I'll go in and take a look."
She winked mischievously, "Anyway, Ye Wanjie doesn't know me."
Shen Feiwan thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright."
She walked to the sofa in the corner, crossed her legs and sat down, then took out her phone and swiped the screen.
Chen Youen quickly walked inside.
As soon as she entered, she heard Ye Wanjie talking to the young woman next to her, "Xinyi, look at this one. I think it really suits your temperament, it's very elegant. What do you think?"
