“Mulan?” Aurelia was puzzled, but someone stepped forward to enlighten her.
“The Mulan Group is a business empire that has emerged abroad in recent years. Its luxury brand, Mulan, has been dominating other major fashion brands during Fashion Week. I heard that the owner behind it is extremely mysterious. Some people say that the owner is a woman,
that it’s a man.”
but others say
“Mulan’s haute couture fashion is highly sought after. Unfortunately, it operates on a membership system, but only those who have accumulated expenses exceeding 150 thousand dollars are eligible for it. The requirements for the eligibility to buy their haute couture clothings are even higher.
“Mulan has only recently set up stores in the country. The waiting period to get something from them is said to be about a year, but there are still many people queuing up to buy their clothes.
“One of my clients was supposed to organize the company’s annual celebration. But he forcibly postponed it to wait for Mulan’s clothes. That’s why I know so much.
“The dress Aurelia is wearing is definitely Mulan’s new design! It’s priced around ten thousand dollars on the official website, with a minimum wait period of at least one month.”
As the words fell, everyone in the office was stunned. Even Kimberly stood frozen in place as she took
in the facts.
The dress had to be fake!
She couldn’t even buy the latest designs from Mulan, so how could Aurelia afford it?
Before Aurelia could say anything, someone else couldn’t sit still any longer and walked directly to
her.
“Aurelia, you… How could you wear a counterfeit dress?”
It was Millie.
She stared at Aurelia. The adorable girl that she once was had vanished without a trace. Instead, her eyes were now filled with resentment and jealousy, as if she wanted to burn holes in Aurelia’s dress with her eyes.
Aurelia frowned. She never expected that her good friend would be the one to embarrass her one day.
She sighed inwardly.
In truth, Millie had changed long before, but Aurelia had simply refused to admit it.
“My husband bought it from the store.”
After saying that, Aurelia didn’t offer any further explanations.
She had said that to tell the others that she wasn’t afraid if they were to inspect her dress. After all,

the truth would be revealed at a glance.
A colleague who was sick of listening to Millie’s boasting all morning immediately stood up.

“Aurelia, we believe you. After all, this dress is from the latest season, and it’s highly recognizable. You look perfect in it, unlike some others who wear high–end brands but look like they’ve just borrowed them.”
“By the way, Millie, why don’t you get your boyfriend to buy you a Mulan dress as well? That’s what real noble ladies are supposed to wear. Who would actually wear those brands that one can find everywhere on the street?” someone else said, glancing at Millie mockingly.
“I’m afraid that’s not possible. Millie has been sending messages to her boyfriend the entire morning, but he didn’t reply to any of them. Who knows what’s going on? Maybe he’s too busy,” another colleague said with a mocking smile.
They were all slightly displeased by how smug Millie had been acting and how she had treated them as if she was above everyone else.
Millie paled and turned to look at Aurelia with resentment, as though Aurelia was the one who had embarrassed her.
Kimberly stepped forward. She seemed like she was changing the subject, but she was actually fanning the fire. “Aurelia, your husband has great taste.”
Everyone focused on Aurelia once again, their eyes filled with envy.
“Aurelia has found herself a good match. Her mother–in–law treats her well, and so does her husband.”
Everyone in the building knew that Aurelia’s mother was critically ill. Anyone who married her would be in for a lot of trouble.
