"Sure, why not!"
Seeing that she was getting a little anxious, Chen Jiang quickly smiled and nodded.
Then, without any hesitation, she turned to the salesperson next to her and said, "Pack up this outfit, and the one you put together earlier."
"By the way, shouldn't she wear some more jewelry? I think just wearing earrings isn't enough."
"Yes, sir!"
Chen Jiang's words made the saleswoman beam with joy, knowing that she hadn't misjudged him and had indeed encountered a tycoon. However, she wasn't in a hurry to pack the clothes. Instead, she looked at Shen Meiyu again and said, "But sir, this lady's outfit is already perfect. This outfit only needs simple jewelry to embellish it, otherwise, cluttered jewelry will distract from the main look."
"I think that, given what we have now, adding another bracelet would be the limit."
Chen Jiang looked at Shen Meiyu's slender arms, her smooth skin indeed bare, and nodded: "Okay, add a bracelet for her too... Oh, and also add some jewelry to her outfit, I'll pay for it together."
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, I'll go and prepare the meal for you right away!"
The salesperson's attitude became increasingly respectful, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, she should be able to complete her monthly sales target today.
She turned around quickly, gave Shen Meiyu a friendly smile, and then hurriedly called the other shop assistants to pack the items and calculate the bill.
At this moment, Shen Meiyu moved closer to Chen Jiang, fidgeting slightly, and said, "Chen Jiang... isn't this too expensive..."
'
"I already said, it's nothing." Chen Jiang smiled as he looked at Shen Meiyu, who had walked up to him. His gaze naturally swept over her face and skin. Her skin condition wasn't actually the best among the women Chen Jiang knew.
For example, Gao Wen and Asakusa Masami, one spends a lot of money on skincare every year, and the other relies on her young age to look youthful.
Compared to them, Shen Meiyu, whose skin was slightly rough, seemed very real. The muscle lines on her arms looked sexy no matter how you looked at them, and with her super cool short hair, she was incredibly aggressive.
It's a pity that Shen Meiyu hasn't recovered her mindset yet, and her every move is quite awkward.
Chen Jiang knew it was because he had spent too much money, but he really couldn't explain it well.
"It's not a lot, but it's still too much..."
Actually, Shen Meiyu is not usually a conflicted person, but this time she was really overwhelmed by Chen Jiang's money.
To be honest, although she comes from a well-off family and should theoretically have access to many wealthy people, she hasn't actually met that many wealthy people... Of course, the wealthy people she meets while giving out parking tickets on the street don't count.
With everyone around her earning only a few thousand yuan a month, she didn't think anything was wrong and had gotten used to it. She had never seen anyone around her act so disregarding money.
Now, Chen Jiang is putting her under a lot of pressure with all these gifts... Even though he's a friend, it's just too much. She doesn't know what to do anymore; she's never done this before and has no experience!
Moreover, deep down, as a girl, she also has some love for beauty. She had never dressed up like this before, but now she was forced to dress up and changed into clothes that she would never normally wear, and put on expensive jewelry that she couldn't afford.
But I discovered that I actually look so beautiful in this situation... It's impossible not to want it.
The problem is, how am I supposed to accept Chen Jiang's gift? She really can't afford to pay it back with her meager savings! Buying clothes is like buying a house, who can stand that?!
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Shen Meiyu glanced furtively at the sales staff who were excitedly packaging the items, and then lowered her voice to say to Chen Jiang, "Maybe we should just forget about it. It's really too expensive; I feel pressured just wearing it..."
'
"Sigh... Let me show you something, and you'll realize these things aren't so bad after all!"
Chen Jiang didn't know how to persuade her, but the clothes couldn't be returned. After some hesitation, he came up with a way to reassure her that she could accept the items.
He took out his phone, opened the mobile banking app, searched for information, and found the bank card information for the one with over 100 million yuan in savings. He then placed it in front of Shen Meiyu: "Look."
"What is this? Your ID number? Are there ID numbers that start with 1?"
Shen Meiyu was indeed dizzy at the moment, and it was unclear what she was babbling about.
Chen Jiang's face darkened, and he reminded him, "That's the account balance... I just wanted you to see my current savings so you wouldn't feel pressured!"
"Whose account balance is so long?" Shen Meiyu's first reaction was not to take it seriously. After all, in her impression, a five-digit number in a bank card was already a lot. Whose bank card had such a long number in it?
But as soon as she said those words, she sensed something was wrong. Her heart skipped a beat, and her gaze fell on Chen Jiang's phone, carefully examining the string of numbers: "Ones, tens, hundreds...millions, tens of millions...hundreds of millions?"
Shen Meiyu suddenly felt a little dizzy... and her legs felt weak.
Fortunately, Chen Jiang was watching her from the side. Seeing her somewhat bewildered look, he reached out and took her wrist, letting her sit down next to him and lean against him.
Smelling the shampoo in her hair, he smiled and asked, "Now you know why I don't care how much these clothes cost, right?"
He thought this would put Shen Meiyu at ease, but unexpectedly, after about ten seconds of silence, Shen Meiyu suddenly sat up straight and uttered a single word: "Damn it!!"
"Wait a minute, the numbers in your account aren't right, are they?"
"Didn't you say you only won ten million? How come you won so much more?"
"Isn't the place you're focusing on a bit too strange?" Chen Jiang rolled his eyes. "Don't worry, it's from legitimate channels. If you're really worried, I'll take you there sometime and you'll see."
"Are you taking me somewhere to silence me?"
Shen Meiyu rolled her eyes and said irritably.
However, Chen Jiang's method seemed to have worked; at least she appeared to have returned to her initial state. Chen Jiang decided to double-check: "These things don't seem so expensive anymore, right?"
"Yeah~~" Shen Meiyu nodded, sighing, "Damn it~~ I earn a month's salary, and now these things that cost tens of thousands aren't even that expensive anymore... You're really a sinner, Chen Jiang, you've ruined my sense of money!"
"It's not that exaggerated!"
Chen Jiang chuckled and reached out to pat her shoulder, feeling the smooth, delicate touch. He said with a smile, "You're not a child anymore. You can't even handle this much?"
"Hmph~~" Shen Meiyu snorted coldly, "I'd rather not suffer!"
Chen Jiang shrugged, not saying anything. This woman was just being stubborn. If she were really angry, she would have taken off her clothes and left long ago. The reason she was still sitting next to him was because she was being defiant.
It means they've already accepted it in their hearts.
He didn't embellish the story, and smoothly changed the subject to the salesperson: "Have you finished calculating?"
"Alright, sir, including the clothes, shoes, and jewelry, the total comes to 240,000 yuan. Here is the bill..."
""
Even though Shen Meiyu had already accepted it, she couldn't help but show a pained expression when she heard the number.
"So little?"
Chen Jiang was also a little surprised. He reached out and took the bill to look at it. The price was fine, and the clothes were indeed expensive. Even a small accessory would cost at least several thousand, and the most expensive platinum necklace cost more than 80,000.
But that's the most expensive item. Other clothes cost over ten thousand or twenty thousand each, and the key is that you can only match two outfits in total, so the quantity is actually not that many.
After all that effort, it only cost this little bit.
"Um... sir, you're so generous. Actually, this is quite a lot. It's rare to see someone as generous as you." The salesperson couldn't help but think to himself, but on the surface, he still praised her sincerely, "Your girlfriend is really lucky..."
'
"That's true, there aren't many boyfriends as good as me." Chen Jiang nodded in agreement, smiling at Shen Meiyu: "Didn't you hear that? You have to cherish him!"
"Get lost!"
Shen Meiyu slapped him hard across the back, but when she saw Chen Jiang grimacing, she immediately regretted it, since he had just bought her a lot of things.
Hitting someone right away is a bit inappropriate, especially since it was a conditioned reflex...
However, since it was through clothes, it wouldn't really hurt. Chen Jiang was just pretending and waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
Seeing that the clothes were already packed, she said, "Alright, we've bought the clothes and the gift, and it's getting late... Shall we look around a bit more, or go to your place?"
Shen Meiyu, still dazed from being showered with money, finally remembered that she had important business to attend to later. She quickly grabbed Chen Jiang's wrist and glanced at the time on his watch.
We've been stuck in this mall for almost an hour, it's almost 10:30.
Although her family's banquet doesn't have a fixed time, it's usually around 11 or 12 a.m., and she has to go back a little earlier... That's about right!
"It's about time. I'll call my mom and then we'll head over."
Chen Jiang noticed the problem: "Hey, where's your phone?"
Shen Meiyu was taken aback: "It's in the pocket of my shirt that I took off. This shirt doesn't have pockets, so I just left it there."
"I knew something was missing..." Chen Jiang nodded, then said to the salesperson, "Find her two more suitable bags to match the style of the two outfits, something to carry her phone or something, otherwise it's really inconvenient that these clothes don't have pockets."
"Yes, sir!"
The sales staff were surprised by the unexpected bonus and quickly ran over to retrieve the bag.
Shen Meiyu was already somewhat numb. It seemed that people's bottom line could be lowered endlessly; she felt she had already fallen: "Dude... next time you buy something, at least tell me first, okay?"
"I'm not spending your money, why should I tell you?"
"6
'
Shen Meiyu was speechless. She could only reach out and take the bag, which was also studded with diamonds, in her hand. It didn't look like she was carrying a bag, but rather like she was carrying a gold brick. It looked a bit strange no matter how she held it.
Chen Jiang had already swiped his card. Seeing her still standing there in a daze, he waved his hand in front of her face.
'
"Hey, stop spacing out!"
"I specifically set aside a day for you, so don't take it for granted!"
"Okay~~"
Shen Meiyu reached out and moved Chen Jiang's hand away, saying irritably, "Fine, then let's go!" But then she realized her tone was a bit harsh, and softened her tone for the next sentence: "Also, these things... consider them a loan from me. I'll return them to you after one day!"
"No, this is what I bought for you. You can wear it for a day and then return it to me. I'm not going to throw it away, am I?"
Chen Jiang was also convinced. Not being materialistic was a good quality, but sometimes being too serious could be troublesome. Helplessly, he pushed her back as they walked out of the Hermès boutique: "Alright, alright, we'll talk about the future later, okay? Let's hurry up and get past your family first!"
After leaving the luxury store filled with the oppressive feeling of money, Shen Meiyu finally felt much less stressed.
Although I still sincerely decided to find a way to make up for the money Chen Jiang spent on me, at least this debt wasn't the kind that would come knocking on my door; I could even shamelessly renege on it.
It's different from real debt.
And she finally understood what it meant to attract attention... Her already beautiful figure was made even more sexy by this outfit, and the high heels made a clattering sound on the floor tiles. Many people turned around when they heard the sound and couldn't take their eyes off her.
This left Shen Meiyu feeling somewhat embarrassed.
As a beautiful mounted policewoman, she often attracts attention, but the difference between wearing a uniform and this outfit is like night and day. Her exposed shoulders seem to be pierced by countless gazes, which feels very strange.
Fortunately, Chen Jiang was there. Noticing that she seemed a little sensitive to the gazes around her, he moved closer to her, then reached out and took her hand, the warmth of his palm instantly transferring to her hand.
"???"
Shen Meiyu immediately forgot her earlier discomfort and looked up at Chen Jiang in a daze, as if asking, "What are you doing?"
Chen Jiang chuckled and said, "Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"You sent me so many instructions first thing this morning, but you forgot them all once you started doing it, didn't you?"
"Oh, right!" Shen Meiyu suddenly remembered that she and Chen Jiang were pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Putting aside any more intimate behavior, it would be too fake if they didn't even hold hands. She had shaken hands with people before, but why was the handshake in this situation so strange?
Even though Chen Jiang's palms weren't hot, why did she feel a continuous stream of heat coming from him, making her face feel a little hot?
My mind was a jumbled mess, and in a daze, Chen Jiang pulled me out of the mall by the hand.
Once they reached the parking lot, Chen Jiang, who had gotten the better deal, decided to stop while he was ahead and let go of Chen Jiang's hand.
Shen Meiyu, on the other hand, suddenly felt a little uneasy, having lost what she was holding onto.
Chen Jiang noticed the subtle change in her expression, smiled but said nothing.
Let her savor the memory herself, while he stepped on the gas and drove towards Shen Meiyu's house.
He was under a lot of pressure going forward.
Because he previously felt that he shouldn't mess with Shen Meiyu, he had no intention of pursuing her and therefore felt no pressure. But after getting to know her, he found that he was quite attracted to her—Chen Jiang, who was no longer considering whether he was a scumbag or not, no longer thought about such things.
In short, regardless of what Shen Meiyu thinks, at least for Chen Jiang, the following scene is no longer an act; he must take it seriously and strive to pass the test on the first try!
