Chapter 233: Chapter 212 Trouble_2
Liu Wentian laughed, “No worries, since we’re already here, let’s go inside and have a look.”
While saying this, he pulled Xie Xiaoyu into a Dior boutique.
As soon as they entered, they immediately heard a voice laced with surprise and a hint of mockery.
“Xiaoyu, what are you doing here? What brings you to a Dior boutique?”
Liu Wentian and Xie Xiaoyu both paused. Hearing this voice, Xie Xiaoyu’s expression visibly soured.
A man and a woman approached them. The man had a huge beer belly, short limbs, and was overweight; his small eyes were currently fixed on Xie Xiaoyu, filled with greed.
The woman was heavily made up, wearing Chanel’s spring collection, but she looked anything but elegant and dignified, giving off a vulgar and flamboyant vibe.
The woman, holding the man’s hand, quickly walked over with disdain and contempt in her eyes, her face showing a sneer mixed with a trace of jealousy.
Seeing these two, Xie Xiaoyu, with a somewhat ugly expression, said, “Li Li, Mr. Fan, it’s you guys, what a coincidence.”
“Hehe, Xiaoyu, indeed quite the coincidence. But what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you can afford Dior’s clothing? Not to look down on you, but with your salary, this really isn’t the place for you.”
Li Li, staring at Xie Xiaoyu’s face full of jealousy, simply couldn’t understand how Xie Xiaoyu had become so pretty after not seeing her for just a while.
Since they had encountered each other here, she naturally wanted to embarrass this woman who acted holier-than-thou!
Li Li gave Liu Wentian a look, saw his plain clothes, and let out a sneer,
“Xiaoyu, is this your new man? And I thought you had high standards. The Mr. Ma I introduced you to last time wasn’t good enough, and it turns out this guy isn’t much better. Looks like a poor bloke. Can he even afford to keep you? How much can he give you a month? Mr. Ma was willing to give you 20,000 a month; surely this guy can’t offer more? He looks a bit like a pretty boy, doesn’t he?”
Li Li and Xie Xiaoyu were from the same village, and her current status was as a mistress, supported by the man beside her. She had tried to set Xie Xiaoyu up with men before, but Xie Xiaoyu had flatly rejected them.
Hence, she held a grudge against Xie Xiaoyu, considering her to be pretentiously prudish and suffering from poverty. Previously, when she returned to the village, she had told people that Xie Xiaoyu was struggling in the city, which made Xie Xiaoyu’s parents worry and run to Shenming City.
The obese man beside Li Li was now greedily staring at Xie Xiaoyu’s pretty face, wondering how she had become so stunning all of a sudden.
He chuckled, “Miss Xie, tell me, what’s his price? Last time Mr. Ma offered 20,000 a month and you weren’t interested; now I’m offering you 50,000 a month to be with me, how about that?”
Hearing this, the flames of jealousy blazed in Li Li’s eyes. This man only gave her 15,000 a month, but for Xie Xiaoyu, he immediately offered 50,000. How could she possibly accept this!
But she was just a kept mistress and had no right to question this obese man’s actions.
As their words grew increasingly unpleasant, Xie Xiaoyu’s face turned extremely ugly, “Stop spouting nonsense, Liu Wentian isn’t keeping me, and I won’t be kept by anyone. My clothes were ruined, and he just came with me to buy new ones.”
Xie Xiaoyu was relatively introverted and disliked arguing with others. Although she had a previous falling-out with Li Li, she had been the one bullied, but seeing Liu Wentian insulted on her behalf truly angered her.
“Pfft! Buying clothes?”
Li Li, as if amused by Xie Xiaoyu’s words, couldn’t help but burst out laughing,@@novelbin@@
“Are you joking? If you wanted to buy clothes, why not shop online or buy some street stall clothes rather than coming here? The clothes here are thousands or tens of thousands each; your monthly salary couldn’t even buy one piece. What can you afford? Are you here to indulge yourself by buying a pair of socks?”
She disdainfully glanced at Liu Wentian, “Or is it that this pretty boy can buy clothes for you? Hehe! Xiaoyu, be realistic, what’s so good about a pretty boy? These days, only the wealthy are revered. Choosing a poor loser means a lifetime of hardship!”
Liu Wentian was somewhat speechless, being treated as a pretty boy; it was supposed to be a compliment to his looks, but why was this woman so convinced that he was penniless?
Ruguo had worn the suit from yesterday’s banquet, this situation probably wouldn’t have occurred, but he really isn’t accustomed to wearing suits; they feel somewhat awkward.
The plump man chuckled and said, “Miss Xie, if you like Dior’s clothes, you could simply tell me, and I would buy them for you, hehe. Stay with me instead, kick this little guy to the curb, I’ll definitely treat you well.”
Xie Xiaoyu angrily said, “I don’t need you to treat me well, and I’m not interested in your money. Please stay away from me, you make me feel sick!!”
The plump man’s face darkened, ready to explode in anger, but then he saw a man in his 30s with handsome features walk through the door, and his face immediately broke into an ingratiating smile as he hurriedly approached, saying,
“Master Fan, haha, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to run into you here; my luck is really good.”
Liu Wentian looked over and saw the Master Fan he mentioned, then his gaze turned somewhat strange.
This Master Fan was none other than Fan Rongkai, who had been chased out of Bai Ruguo’s house by him, and who had later caused him trouble, only to be severely taught a lesson.
Speaking of which, this guy hadn’t been seen for quite a while and hadn’t come to bother him either.
Fan Rongkai frowned slightly, impatiently scrutinizing the plump man, “Who are you?? This store is under Huarong Group, my appearance here is not strange at all, is it?”
The plump man, obsequiously, said, “Yes, yes, Master Fan is right, but it’s not everyone who has the luck to meet Master Fan in person. I am Fan Dali, the general manager of Huan Asia Electronics. Meeting Master Fan is a great honor for me.”
His obvious flattery might have been a bit too transparent, but Fan Rongkai clearly enjoyed it as his expression improved somewhat, and he said, “Alright, Fan Dali it is then. Thanks for shopping here. When you settle the bill later, just mention my name and you’ll get a 9.5% discount.”
The plump man heard this and hurriedly thanked him; discounts are generally unheard of in brand-specific stores like this one. Fan Rongkai’s offer was a token of face-saving, which made him feel extremely honored.
Fan Rongkai nodded and then headed over to the cashier.
The plump man returned boastfully to where Liu Wentian and the other two were, saying, “Do you understand who that person was now?? The future heir to Huarong Group, Fan Rongkai! He just said that if I shop here, he will directly give me a 9.5% discount!!”
Li Li’s eyes gleamed upon hearing this, and as if afraid Liu Wentian and Xie Xiaoyu wouldn’t grasp how impressive this was, she smugly said,
“Huarong Group is a large corporation valued at tens of billions, not everyone can mingle with big shots like Master Fan!! That face-saving effort from Master Fan, ordinary people can’t even hope for.”
When she mentioned ‘ordinary people,’ she deliberately glanced at Liu Wentian, the implication was obvious.
With a face full of smugness, Fan Dali seeing Xie Xiaoyu’s expression unchanged and Liu Wentian’s face wearing a half-smile, felt rather bored and waved his hand, saying,
“Forget it, let’s not talk about this with them. They’re not at a certain level; they simply can’t understand what mingling with figures of this caliber means. Let’s get back to our previous topic!!”
He looked at Xie Xiaoyu, chuckled, and said, “Miss Xie, I really admire you. If you join me for dinner tonight, I’ll buy you a new Dior outfit, how about that?”
As he spoke, he didn’t even glance at Liu Wentian, in his view, Liu Wentian simply wasn’t worth his acknowledgement.
However, this time, before Xie Xiaoyu could respond, Liu Wentian spoke up with a playful smile, “She doesn’t need you to buy for her, I will do that. Dior, huh? Their clothes seem very cheap.”
“Hah?? Cheap?? If you don’t know, don’t try to act like you do!!”
Hearing Liu Wentian’s words, Fan Dali couldn’t help but scoff coldly.
Li Li couldn’t suppress her laughter anymore and burst out, “The cheapest Dior t-shirts cost several thousands each, dresses generally start at tens of thousands, and if it’s a full set, the price is several tens of thousands!! You’re telling me it’s cheap?? Haha!! What a bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world!!”
Liu Wentian listened to their words, then pointed at a nearby dress, scratched his head, and said with a goofy smile, “It really is cheap. Look at that dress, it’s so pretty, yet it’s only 70 bucks. I have over a thousand dollars on me; I feel like I could buy a whole bunch of clothes to take home.”
