ven with money."Brother Jun, don't mention it. Don’t you remember how you helped me when I first came to the deep sea" Xiao Yu said seriously upon hearing Wei Jun’s words."Haha... Alright, alright, bo...Chapter 47: Shopping

After breakfast, Uncle Lu Jianhong went to work. Since his mother's clinic specializes in Traditional Chinese Medicine and there aren't too many patients at the moment, he stayed home with his little nephew. Following their mother’s instructions, his sister took Xiao Yu shopping for clothes.

Xiao Yu and his sister took a taxi to the bustling city mall known as 'Sincere Mall.' Around this mall were several of the most prosperous commercial streets in the city, situated right at its heart. At nightfall, it was illuminated with dazzling lights, making it the vibrant nightlife spot of the entire city and undoubtedly the best location in town.

When they got off the taxi, looking up, a massive circular building stood before them, towering high above with the four golden characters 'Sincere Mall' inscribed at the top.

The mall was filled to capacity; the vast parking lot was packed with cars, motorcycles, and bicycles. The remaining space in the parking lot was occupied by bustling crowds of people.

From time to time, one could hear shouts from security personnel directing vehicles where to park or announcements for promotions outside the mall entrance.

Xiao Yu and his sister entered the mall. As they walked through the door, a large map of the mall was displayed on the wall opposite them. Xiao Yu looked closely; the first floor specialized in food and candies, the second in gold, jade, and jewelry, the third in shoes and sports wear, the fourth in men's clothing, the fifth in women’s fashion, and the sixth level had a playground for children and young people as well as entertainment facilities.

Pulled by his sister, Xiao Yu took the elevator straight up to the fifth floor. Thinking that men's clothes were on the fourth floor, he asked his sister, "Sis, aren't we supposed to go to the fourth floor Why are you…"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu’s question, his sister shot him a deadly gaze, causing him to swallow whatever else was about to come out.

Xiao Yu was dragged around on the fifth floor by his sister. It must be said that women truly have an unmatched talent when it comes to shopping; half an hour later, Xiao Yu had no intention of stopping as he felt a wave of despair in his heart.

One hour later…………..

One and a half hours later………….

"Sis, are you not done yet" Xiao Yu pronounced the word "sis" with particular emphasis, almost grinding his teeth in frustration. He couldn't take it anymore; after one and a half hours, his sister was still full of energy while he felt as exhausted as a dead dog. What annoyed him most was that his sister had been shopping for such a long time without buying even a single piece of clothing. She was just aimlessly wandering around the entire fifth floor of the mall, trying on clothes but not purchasing any.

Seeing her brother about to lose it, Xiao Yu's sister said with a miserable expression as she grabbed his arm: "Brother, you don't understand. My husband is always busy and has no time to accompany me. And since Hanhan was born, I haven't been shopping on the streets at all! As she spoke, her eyes actually became moist.

"Alright, sis...sis...don't cry! Today, I'll do everything for you and shop until you're satisfied!" Although Xiao Yu knew his sister wanted to go shopping by pretending to be pitiful, he still couldn't help feeling a pang of sympathy in his heart as he said this.

Upon hearing her brother's words, the sister turned away, secretly making a victory gesture before continuing with the grand task of shopping.

Xiao Yu watched his sister from behind. Though her clothes looked new, on closer inspection, he found that they were all mass-produced items costing two or three hundred yuan each. Xiao Yu could now be considered wealthy at least in comparison to others in his city; his money was definitely not small by local standards. Therefore, Xiao Yu thought to himself that he must buy a few good sets of clothes for his sister.

With this thought, he pulled his sister's arm and led her into the boutique area. Together they entered an international brand boutique.

"Welcome!" The salesperson greeted them with a smile.

When the salesperson saw Xiao Yu and his sister enter, she took a quick glance at their clothes—both were wearing items that cost two or three hundred yuan each from street markets. She felt a slight disdain but since the mall had trained its staff well, she maintained a programmed smile as she said: "Feel free to browse around for any clothing you like!"

Even though Xiao Yu rarely shopped for clothes himself, his taste was quite good. He casually glanced around and found that the clothes here were of decent quality. So he began browsing with his sister.

"Bring me that light pink jacket to have a look," said Xiao Yu upon spotting a light pink jacket which would be perfect for autumn weather. He then told this to the salesperson.

"No, thanks..." Xiao Yu hurriedly told the waiter. Then, she tugged at Xiao Yu's arm and said, "Brother, are you trying to die We're just looking around!"

Xiao Yu whispered to his sister, "Sis, what’s there to be afraid of It doesn't cost anything to try on."

After saying that, he told the waiter, "Please get it down for us."

Although Xiao Yu and his sister spoke in a low voice, the nearby waiter still heard them. The waiter thought with disdain, 'These poor people are just putting up an act. They don't have money but pretend to be rich. If they're not buying anything, it's us who suffer.'

To say that the service quality of this store’s waiters was quite good: although they were unhappy, they still went to get the clothes for them. The waiter brought over the clothes. Xiao Yu nodded at his sister and she took the clothes into the fitting room.

When Xiao Yu's sister came out wearing the new clothes, he felt a sudden sparkle in front of him. His sister looked like their mother with willow-leaf eyebrows, an oval face, big eyes, and a slender figure. Wearing this light pink jacket made her look youthful and pretty; no one could tell that she was already a mother to a child and that her body had not changed at all.

When his sister went into the fitting room to change back into her own clothes, Xiao Yu took out a card and walked over to the waiter. He said calmly, "Let's settle up."

"Mm What did you say, sir" Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, the waiter responded but didn’t immediately understand what he had said, so she asked again.

“I said... pay... the bill!” Xiao Yu said in a slow and exaggerated tone, both amused and exasperated.

The waiter was delighted inside. She thought that her efforts would be wasted, but it turned out they were going to buy after all. This transaction alone would earn her over 300 yuan in commission, which is almost equivalent to four days’ worth of wages for her. That’s good! If more people like this came every day, life would be great. The waiter thought happily.

The waiter received the card from Xiao Yu, which was an ordinary ICBC bank card. Even though she had earned a lot from that customer, she still couldn’t help but think to herself, “Pretending to be rich when you have no money. If you can't afford it, just don't buy it!”

After Xiao Yu had entered his password, the salesperson said, "Hello, your charge is 8,888 yuan. Your card balance now has……"

The salesperson was about to give out the remaining balance as a matter of habit in order to avoid any mistakes. However, when she saw that there were over ten million yuan left on his card, it seemed like her voice had been choked off by something. She wasn't unfamiliar with wealthy customers coming to buy clothes, but those people always made sure others knew they were rich — wearing gold and silver accessories or even wanting to hang a check around their necks — yet the most money in their cards was only several dozen thousand yuan or at most millions of yuan. But these people wore clothes worth only a few hundred yuan from street markets and still had more than ten million yuan left on their cards, which truly made them wealthy.

When looking back at Xiao Yu now, the wrinkles on her face softened into a smile. To her, Xiao Yu was no longer a poor person pretending to be rich; he was simply modest.

"Brother, what's up Let's go!" When Xiao Yuu changed his clothes and came out, seeing Xiao Yu standing in front of the cash register, she shouted.

"Yeah, let's go. Just a moment." Without even turning around, Xiao Yu replied.

The salesperson returned Xiao Yu’s card to him quickly and ran up to Xiao Yuu who had just changed out of her clothes, packing them up for her as she bowed slightly in politeness with an extremely friendly smile on her face. She pointed towards the innermost counter and said, "Hello, you can come over here and look at these items! These are all new autumn fashions that we've recently received this year — they're all the most fashionable clothing from France."

"No need, no need. We don't plan to buy anything today. Brother, let's go quickly!" For some reason, after Xiao Yuu changed her clothes once more and came out, she felt that the salesperson’s smile was different now. She couldn’t explain it exactly; if she had to describe it, then just now, it seemed like a standard business smile while now it seemed like a genuine smile from the heart. Xiao Yuu didn't know how to deal with such a sudden change in attitude from the staff, and so she hurriedly waved her hands, saying.

Hearing this, the salesperson’s bright eyes dimmed but she still smiled as she said, "Alright then, welcome to visit our store again."

Only when they had left the boutique did Xiao Yu see that Xiao Yu was carrying a bag. She looked at him with confusion and asked, "Little brother, what's in your hand I didn't see you buy anything." As she finished speaking, she grabbed the bag from Xiao Yu’s hand to take a look inside.

"Eh!" When Xiao Yu opened up the bag, she saw that it contained the clothes she had just tried on. She let out an exclamation of surprise.ng Dahan might as well hang himself.This was why Chu Guoqing remained so calm; with Zhang Dahan around, nothing bad would happen to him. Otherwise, that would really be embarrassing and he probably wo...
