The customers within the Black Nightingale shop looked at each other and smiled bashfully. What Li Meili said was right. Although the clothes and dresses here cost a fortune, it wouldn't deny the fact that the Black Nightingale's creations were one of a kind.

  Li Meili hired talented and meticulous staff who were able to make custom sizes and can offer styles that suited their customers' body type the best. Given their status in their social circle, it would be embarrassing if they were dressed poorly while attending social events.

  While it's true that Liu Ruoyan's Golden Elegance was also decent and elegant enough for some patrons, but within the upper circle, who would want to be seen dressed in the same outfit with someone else? None of them wanted to be scrutinized and compared with others on such important occasions.

  With Black Nightingale, every dress was custom made for them, assuring them that there would be no other in the world that would have the same outfit design, unless it was pirated by those greedy thieves. Most of the patrons of Black Nightingale would leave the store fully satisfied with their purchases, something Li Meili and her team took pride in.

  Didn't Tang Moyu say that she wanted her to destroy the Golden Elegance for her? Li Meili initially thought that Liu Ruoyan was dumb to covet her best friend's man, to actually come here and insult her creations right in her face, Liu Ruoyan must be itching to die by digging her own grave.

  If there was something Li Meili had learned from her best friend, it would be to not disturb the enemy when she's making a mistake, and right now, Li Meili couldn't be more pleased with how pathetic and dumb Liu Ruoyan looked.

  Did Liu Ruoyan come here in a poor attempt to humiliate her? She must be dreaming! Li Meili thought. She will never give this woman the satisfaction of bullying her.

  Liu Ruoyan might be one of the most beautiful and talented flowers in Shenzhen, but didn't she know that she, Li Meili, was the heiress of a multimillion dollar company in the country? In terms of status within their social circle, Liu Ruoyan was considerably lower than her.

  Even so, even if she wasn't part of the upper circle and a Li, who gave Liu Ruoyan the right to look down on her? Did she really think too highly of herself that she allowed her mouth to run amok and cause trouble along the way? Li Meili hadn't met a woman as shallow as Liu Ruoyan.

  Meanwhile, Liu Ruoyan was taken aback by Li Meili's sharp words. Li Meili's eyes reminded her of a tiger staring right through her soul. Clearing her throat, she feigned ignorance, pretending that she was not intimidated by the Black Nightingale.

  "Big words coming from you, Miss Li. Please don't be upset when you lose in the competition." She retorted, her tone filled with mockery.

  Liu Ruoyan thought that she would be able to intimidate the Black Nightingale, forcing her to withdraw her intention to participate in this year's competition. She wasn't blind to not notice how people were rooting for the Black Nightingale to snatch the title away from her.

  However, she truly didn't expect that the mysterious Black Nightingale, who only catered to people in the upper circle and most popular celebrities, was none other than Li Meili herself? It wouldn't be easy for her to persuade Li Meili to drop her entry because the Li family's influence shouldn't be underestimated.

  "Oh, how kind of you, Miss Liu. I should also say the same to you, don't you think? Please don't feel bad if this amateur beats you one of these days." Li Meili took a seat on an armchair inside the showroom, crossed her legs, and rested her chin on the back of her hand lazily.

  She was glad that she opted to wear a comfy white blouse and beige-colored slacks that highlighted her legs. Paired with high heeled shoes, she looked taller than usual and it gave her a more sophisticated look.

  Her presence had effectively irritated and intimidated Liu Ruoyan at the same time, her face burned red in rage. How was it possible that Li Meili was able to make her blood boil in anger and not the other way around? This shouldn't happen at all. Her pride wouldn't allow her to let Li Meili belittle her like this.

  "Miss Liu, the dress in your hand right now costs one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. If you aren't here to buy anything, you may leave and allow my loyal patrons to shop here in peace." Li Meili didn't bother mincing her words, wanting to remove this stupid woman out of her sight.

  Why did this woman love to pick fights she wouldn't be able to win? A smart and m.a.t.u.r.e woman would try her best to stay out of drama and trouble, but Liu Ruoyan seemed to love diving into it head-on.

  'Goodness, when your own brain can't comprehend how dumb you are.'

  'Are people not able to comprehend that their actions have consequences? Liu Ruoyan tried to bully Tang Moyu. Turns out she was the CEO of Xiao Xing. Hasn't she learned her lesson? Now she was picking a fight with Miss Li?'

  'Isn't it enough that Feng Tianyi blacklisted her in Shenzhen? Now she wanted to offend the Li family by bullying their young miss?'

  Another woman laughed blandly and glanced at Liu Ruoyan.

  'Calm down, dear. You should know by now that there ain't no cure for stupid. She won't know what hits her until it's too late. The strength and intelligence of humanity are boundless, but some may have just enjoyed the privilege of being stupid. Liu Ruoyan would be the perfect example.'

  Liu Ruoyan, who was painfully reminded of what happened back at Xiao Xing's banquet, stormed out, not bothering to hide her rage.
