Chapter 146: Taking You to See the Bustling World of Men
Su Wen was speechless, in his cognition, pirates were all rich and oily, especially the pirate leader. But the pirate queen who was famous on the high seas actually only had 10 million assets, this wasn't being poor, it was simply dying of poverty.
"If there's no money, goods can be used as collateral!"
"Anything? Wait for me next time I rob, I don't have anything now."
Su Wen awkwardly said: "I'm telling you, Xiaoya, I'm not a good person, you can't bully me like this. Although I feel we're friends, but friends aren't so generous, it's not just a few dollars, it's hundreds of millions! If I easily gave it to you, how would I do business in the future? Wouldn't I go bankrupt?"
Xiao Ya seemed to understand as well, his face slightly flushed with embarrassment.
"Have you eaten?" Su Wen changed the subject.
"Not yet!" Xiaoya said in a low voice.
Su Wen stood up: "You're a guest from afar, I'll first take you to eat something and buy you some clothes. Look at what you're wearing now, it's like you're afraid others won't know you're a pirate. And the veil, get rid of that too. Before your face heals, wear a mask."
"Can't I wear a veil?"
"It's too eye-catching, someone is watching curiously, maybe they will lift your veil, and after lifting it, shout loudly: I'm the one who lifted the veil, you're my person now, wouldn't you be very embarrassed then."
"Why?"
"Because they will shamelessly tell you: isn't it that whoever sees your appearance first, you'll marry them? That's how it's always been in Tian Long!"
Xiaoya heard this and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "What's going on here? Even if someone lifted my veil, the first one to see my face would still be you. At that time, I'll just tell them that you're my fiancé, and I won't marry anyone else except for you."
Su Wen was shocked: "Fiancé? Me?"
Xiao Ya looked at Su Wen and nodded slightly.
Su Wen was struck by Xiao Ya, this is not the Pirate Queen at all. It's just a silly and ignorant girl, I don't even know what she looks like when she's cutting people with a curved knife on the high seas. Just thinking about it makes me feel hard to understand.
The two went outside, Su Wen looked at Xiao Ya and thought: "Let's go to that accessory store first, there are many masks for sale."
"I'm listening to you."
The two arrived at the accessory store. The boss looked at them with some curiosity.
"Two of them, don't know what they want?"
"We'll just take a look around." Su Wen said calmly, "You mind your own business, don't bother with us."
The boss was somewhat embarrassed, but still came over.
As a small shop owner, he still has some discerning eyes, but the two people in front of him make him feel strange. Among these two people, the man looks very elegant, but when he speaks, he is very authoritative, making people unconsciously want to follow his words. The woman is even stranger, Jiangning's air is not bad, what's with this veil? Is she too ugly or too beautiful?
Su Wen picked for half a day and finally picked up a mask: "This one is good, quite suitable for you."
Xiaoya took a closer look and found that it was a golden and silver mixed phoenix wing mask, with two eyes exposed. It just covered the part above the nose. The top of the mask was a crown shape, subtly highlighting the owner's nobility. The edge of the mask was a bird feather pattern, looking very elegant.
"I'll try it on."
"Don't be nervous, it's just a veil turned into a mask."
Xiaoya put on the mask inside the veil, gently covering her face, and then tore off the veil.
"How beautiful!"
"Awesome!"
Su Wen and her boss spoke at the same time.
Xiao Ya originally had a devilish figure, previously wearing a veil, that perfect figure was also covered up. Now she has put on a mask, the advantages of her figure are revealed without a doubt, plus those enchanting eyes, although I haven't seen her face, this is enough to make one infatuated.
"Does it look good?"
"Looks great." Su Wen nodded, "Let's go, and I'll change you into another outfit, that will be even more perfect."
"Okay." Xiaoya's mouth corners were raised with a smile, clearly very pleased.
A high-end clothing boutique.
Su Wen led Xiaoya in: "You pick whatever you like, and call me when you're done."
Xiao Ya looked at Su Wen and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to help me pick?"
Su Wen awkwardly said: "How would I know this?"
Xiaoya had no choice but to go in by herself, while Su Wen found a chair at the door and sat down.
A few minutes later, Su Wen heard a noisy voice inside.
"You've been hesitating for half a day, are you going to buy it or not?"
"What's wrong? I'm right, this piece of clothing is tens of thousands, if you can't afford it then don't touch."
"Still wearing a mask, is it because you're too ugly to show your face?"
……
Su Wen heard this and rushed over, he was speechless, how did he encounter such a bloody thing.
"I want you dead!" A few words spat out of Xiaoya's mouth, and a sharp dagger appeared in her hand. Even Su Wen didn't notice where Xiaoya had produced the dagger from.
However, it can be certain that if no one stops her, Xiaoya will soon use this dagger to cut the female salesperson's throat. The title of Pirate Queen is not called out casually. Being able to rule over one of the three major pirate groups on the sea, the Nine Snakes Pirate Group, Xiaoya must have an unknown side to her.
"Stop!" Su Wen hastily shouted, he was really afraid that Xiao Ya would kill someone here.
No matter what, Xiaoya is a pirate after all, once she kills someone, it will be hard for her to stay in Jiangning.
Xiao Ya saw Su Wen arrive, his hand moved slightly, and the dagger disappeared again. This skill of hiding a knife in his sleeve was indeed unparalleled.
The female salesperson still didn't know when to shut up and another dirty word came out.
Su Wen was really angry and slapped him without saying a word.
The female shop assistant didn't react in time and bumped her head on the cabinet, shattering the glass.
"How dare you hit me? Call the police! Quick, call the police!"
"Looking for death!"
Su Wen looked at the waitress and walked over step by step: "Where's your boss? Let him come out and see me."
The words had barely fallen when a woman's voice rose: "I'm afraid I've made you laugh, this store should be counted as mine to open, it just so happens that I met you, and I wanted to chat with you about Li Huan's affairs, now it seems we already have a very bad start."
Su Wen turned around and found it was a middle-aged woman.
"I'm Li Huan's mother, my name is Nie Mei. You may be seeing me for the first time, but I've seen you before, only you don't know that. Li Huan's grandfather is having a birthday and I wanted to come in and pick out some clothes for him. I didn't expect to run into you here, isn't it quite a coincidence?" Nie Mei smiled, "Many of the famous and expensive clothing brands are represented by me, this store seems to be one of them too. It looks like my supervision has been lax, allowing an employee of such poor quality to appear in the store."
Su Wen was surprised and then sighed: "I didn't expect they were all familiar people, I'll let it go this time for the sake of Nie Auntie."
The female salesperson still didn't understand what was happening, she just felt that she had offended someone she shouldn't have. The onlookers around her showed a shocked expression, and suddenly someone recognized Nie Mei, he exclaimed: "I remember now, Nie Mei, isn't that the daughter of Director Nie of Tianyi International, Governor Nie's daughter?"
For a moment, everything around was quiet.
The female shop assistant was even more stunned, and now she finally knew Nie Mei's identity.
"Su Wen, in two days it's my dad's birthday, Li Huan will be there, I hope you can come too."
"This...," Su Wen hesitated for a moment, "If I have time, I'll go."
Nie Mei smiled: "I know you're busy, but if possible, try to go. My dad is so curious about you that if it weren't for his status, he would have come over to see if you've grown three heads and six arms."
"Nie Auntie, you also saw it, I'm just an ordinary person."
"It's not ordinary, you can't just say it. Nie Mei smiled and said, 'This isn't a place for idle chatter, let's not discuss these things today.'"
Su Wen looked around and nodded.
Many people listened to Su Wen and Nie Mei's conversation without any intention of avoiding it, they were more shocked the more they listened, and the more they wanted to listen.
Nie Mei is who, that is Nie Sheng's daughter, a female strongman in the business world, with assets worth tens of billions, but facing the young man in front of her, she was so polite that she couldn't even invite him to attend Nie Guoxiong's birthday party, and yet the person in front of her still didn't immediately agree, this is how big a face one needs to have to say such words.
"What kind of person is this guy, he's so cool!"
"That female salesperson must have eaten bear heart and leopard gall to dare offend him, I bet that Nie Mei won't say anything to his face, but will definitely scold her once this guy leaves."
"It's lucky it was just a warning, if it were more serious, this salesgirl would never be able to find work again, I really feel sorry for her. If she had been humble earlier, maybe she could have even become a manager."
……
"Su Wen, are you helping this young lady buy clothes?"
"Alright! She is a friend of mine."
"It just so happens that I'm quite good at this sort of thing, so let me help her pick out a few suitable outfits, and consider it my apology."
"That's the best."
Nie Mei spent twenty minutes picking out a few clothes for Xiao Ya, and seeing Xiao Ya's greatly changed appearance, Su Wen felt shocked again: "This is the advantage of having a good figure! No matter what clothes you wear, you look beautiful."
Su Wen took Xiaoya away, and as expected by everyone, that female salesperson was immediately fired.
"Su Wen, what shall we do next?"
"Eat! Didn't we just agree on that?"
"How was your meal?"
"Haven't thought it through yet, might take you for a walk."
"Take a walk?"
"I heard there are many fun things here, can you take me to see?"
"Haven't you ever played before?"
"I have never left the sea, there is only fighting and killing on the sea."
"In that case, I'll take you to see the hustle and bustle of the world." Su Wen burst out laughing, he hadn't had a wild time in ages. "Xiao Ya, do you see the restaurant up ahead? That's the most luxurious restaurant in Jiangning. We'll go there today, my treat, eat as much as you want!"
