Chapter 918 Petty Bourgeois (Part One)


    What a small world it was. Leena didn''t expect to meet that woman again, who had beat her in getting


    the pair of earrings that had caught her eye back in the jewelry store. She was right at the door of


    Tender Whispers. The woman looked at Leena with disdain. Leena proudly raised her chin as she shot


    daggers at her, refusing to feel patronized by this woman''s arrogance.


    "Hmph. Bitch! What an obnoxious hick. In trying to buy the earrings I took a liking to, you bit off more


    than you could chew." Louisa had also recognized Leena. Back at the store, she got involved in a


    ming row with Leena. Her rude remarks had offended Louisa a lot, so how could she forget her?


    "Now, wait a minute. What did you say? That I''m an obnoxious hick?" Leena clenched her teeth in


    bitter hatred. As a dress designer, she kept up to date with thetest trends. Her customers scrambled


    to get her fashionable designs. No one ever said that she was a country bumpkin.


    "Why, are you deaf? Did you not hear me?" Louisa sneered, ncing sideways at Leena. "Look at you!


    Only the people at the bottom of the heap wear such casual sports wear. You know what? The earrings


    clearly weren''t meant for you. Do you know how expensive they were? Could you even afford them?"


    "Miss, do we know each other? Do we have a grudge against each other or something? Why are you


    making these scathingments? Also, I''m not an obnoxious hick by any means."Leena looked down


    at her attire. Her clothes and shoes were from famous brands in France. Why did Louisa say that she


    was a rube?


    "Oh, don''t you know?" Louisa looked down at Leena condescendingly. "Figure it out yourself. Do you


    really need me to tell you?" Louisa said, assuming an air of superiority. In her eyes, Leena wore


    knockoffs. She could not afford branded items.


    "Sorry, but I don''t think I look shabby at all." Leena chose to ignore Louisa. She was waiting for Edward


    here; otherwise she would have left and not bother herself to talk nonsense with Louisa.


    "You have terrible taste. You are just not aware of it." Louisa smoothed her dress that was of the first


    rate, showing off her money as she patronized Leena.


    "Well, you are right. I''m petty bourgeois, and I look uncool. Why are you condescending yourself to


    argue with me? That''s very inferior of you." Leena gazed at her coolly. She didn''t want to reveal her


    true identity to such a bumptious woman, or even argue with her. She knew the brand of Louisa''s


    dress, but she disdained buying it. ''What makes her feel so above herself?'' Leena wondered, ''Her


    brand-name dress? What a shallow, vain woman.''


    "You pretended that you could afford those diamond earrings in the jewelry store. It disgusted me. Look


    at your cheap knockoffs. Such a poor girl wanted to buy a pair of diamond earrings. So sad." Louisa felt


    sick to think that Leena wanted to buy the earrings she had liked first. Although Louisa was finally able


    to buy them, Leena had embarrassed her by making those offensive remarks. She found that she just


    couldn''t let it go.


    "Huh? What are you talking about? You mean to say that I wear cheap knockoffs? Miss, please don''t


    pretend to know what you don''t know. You''re making a fool out of yourself." Leena narrowed her eyes


    at Louisa. She felt disgust for this conceited woman.


    "What? I am pretending to know what I don''t know? Open up your eyes. Can you even spell the name


    of the brand I wear? Your casual clothes are so unttering," Louisa replied, snorting loudly. She didn''t


    even look at Leena.


    "Sure, I can spell what you are wearing. It''s just a brand that I despise." Louisa raised her eyebrows at


    Leena, but was distracted by the handsome man who came over. She couldn''t tear her gaze away from


    him.


    "Edward." When she saw him, Leena smiled sweetly and greeted him with pleasure.


    "Leena, is she your friend?" Edward nced at Louisa, returning his gaze to Leena.


    "No. I don''t know her. She is a lunatic. Just leave her alone." Leena was enraged at Louisa''s rudeness.


    She didn''t want to talk with her any longer. All she wanted was to leave at once.


    "Let''s go inside." Edward put his arm around Leena''s waist and affectionately drew her in the direction


    of the restaurant, ignoring Louisa who stood spellbound.


    Louisa didn''t avert her gaze until Edward and Leena disappeared from her view. ''What an indescribably


    beautiful and striking man he is, '' Louisa thought, ''Judging from his temperament and his taste in


    clothing, he must be a big bug. Why does he hang out with a woman of such humble birth?


    Humph. Bitch, don''t run into me next time. Although I envy you having a boyfriend of such good taste,


    we are enemies. You wait and see.''


    "Leena, do you know that woman? You seemed hostile to her," Edward asked with a frown. He saw the


    two of them talking when he came over, so he was curious.


    "No. We had a dispute at a jewelry storest time. She is such an obnoxious and smug woman. Just


    ignore her." Leena leaned against Edward. She had left the quarrel with Louisa behind. She didn''t want


    to bother herself to argue with the likes of Louisa, or she would upset herself.


    "Okay. I must say that you have a good attitude toward everything. Just treat her like she is a


    madwoman. We are civilized people. Don''t engage with rude people at all." Edward liked the way


    Leena thought. Even if someone offended her, she responded with a smile. She was really a loving girl.


    "See? I''m not mad at her. Let''s forget it. Don''t talk about her anymore. I wonder if Duke and Belinda

    have arrived. I can''t wait to see them." Leena didn''t want any mention of the abominable woman again.


    What family did she belong to? How rude she was.


    Edward smiled. If he wasn''t wrong, Duke and Belinda had arrived already. He knew Duke loved his


    sister dearly. Since she returned, he had wanted to see her as soon as possible. He wouldn''t bete.


    "Belinda! It''s been a long time. Did you miss me?" Leena pulled open the door to the private box of the


    restaurant, excitedly running toward Belinda. She hugged her, smiling widely.


    "Girl, didn''t youe back yesterday? If you really missed me, you would have called me up." Belinda


    gently patted her back. Although she wasining, Belinda was happy to see Leena hade


    back.


    "Belinda, you said exactly what Daisy said. You''re such good friends that you even me me in the


    same way." Leena pouted, pretending to be upset.


    "You ungrateful brat. You didn''t ask us to pick you up from the airport or even didn''t tell us that you had


    eyes. She smiled wickedly as she found an obvious love bite on Leena''s neck. No wonder Leena wore


    a turtleneck sweater today.


    "I wanted to surprise you. See, you''re happy to see me." Leena acted like a spoiled child as Belinda


    babied her. After Belinda let her go, Leena walked up to Duke and threw herself into his arms.


    "Why didn''t you ask us to pick you up at the airport?" Duke softly med Leena as he hugged her. His


    eyes were full of tenderness.


    "I could go home myself, so I didn''t want to bother you. Duke, you seem to have changed a lot. It must


    be because of Belinda." Leena smiled brightly. She looked adorable and charming.


    "Have I? You must be kidding. I''m who I used to be. Don''t deliberately change the subject." Duke


    knitted his brows. Leena''s tricks didn''t work on him. As her brother, Duke knew her like the palm of his


    own hand. He knew she wanted something whenever sheplimented him. She was trying to


    change the subject so that Duke wouldn''t continue to me her.


    "I don''t. I am serious! You''ve really changed. If you don''t believe me, you can ask Edward. I bet he''s


    thinking the same thing. Am I right, Edward?" Leena blinked at Edward, casting an imploring nce in


    his direction. She hoped that he would take her side.


    "Yes. I agree. Duke, you''ve really changed. You''re more like a beast now," Edward said in a no-


    nonsense voice while sitting down on the couch, as if what he said was indeed true.


    "Wait. What? You''re the beast, not me! I haven''t seen you in quite a few days. You''ve be even


    more annoying." Duke rolled his eyes at Edward as he led Leena to another couch. With Leena and


    Belinda sitting beside him, he was the happiest man in the world, as the two women he liked the most


    were here.
