Chapter 47 Strolling

  After having breakfast, brother-in-law Lu Jianhong went to work. Because his mother's Chinese medicine clinic wasn't busy with many patients, he stayed home and played with his little nephew at the clinic. Following his mother's instructions, his sister took Xiao Ye to buy clothes.

  Xiao Yu and his sister took a taxi to the most prosperous shopping mall in the city, "Chengxin Shopping Mall". The shopping mall is surrounded by several of the busiest commercial streets in the city, and it is also located in the city center. When night falls, this place is dazzling with lights, making it the beautiful nightlife of the entire city. It is also the first golden area of the entire city.

  They got off the bus and looked up to see a massive ring-shaped building in front of them, with four gold-plated characters "Honesty Business City" standing on top.

  Outside the mall, it's crowded with people, a huge parking lot is packed with cars, electric bikes and bicycles, and the remaining space is filled with throngs of people.

  The parking lot occasionally heard the loud voice of the mall security directing vehicles to park, and the shouting voices of some promotional brands outside the mall.

  Xiao Yu and his sister walked into the mall, as soon as they entered the door, a huge shopping mall floor plan stood on the wall opposite the main entrance. Xiao Yu looked at it intently, the first floor was a specialty store for food and sweets, the second floor was a specialty store for gold and jade jewelry, the third floor was a specialty store for shoes and sportswear. The fourth floor was a specialty store for men's clothing, the fifth floor was a specialty store for women's clothing, and the sixth floor was an amusement park set up specifically for children and young people, along with some entertainment facilities.

  Xiao Yu was pulled by his sister to the elevator and arrived at the fifth floor. Xiao Yu thought that men's clothing wasn't on the fourth floor? So he asked his sister: "Sister, aren't we going to the fourth floor? Why...?"

  Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, her sister gave him a look filled with murderous intent, causing the words that were about to leave his mouth to be swallowed back.

  Xiao Yu was pulled by his sister to stroll around the fifth floor, and it had to be said that women indeed have an innate talent for shopping that men can't match. Half an hour later, Xiao Yu showed no signs of stopping, and Xiao Yu's heart couldn't help but secretly cry out in distress.

  An hour later...

  An hour and a half later...

  "Sister, are you okay?" Xiao Yu emphasized the word "sister" so heavily that he almost bit his teeth off. He couldn't take it anymore; they had been at it for an hour and a half. His sister was still full of energy, while Xiao Yu was exhausted like a dead dog. What made him even angrier was that after wandering around the entire fifth floor of the mall for half a day, she hadn't bought a single piece of clothing.

  Xiao Yu looked at her brother, who seemed to be on the verge of exploding, and grasped Xiao Ye's arm with a bitter expression: "Brother, you don't know, my husband is busy every day and doesn't have time to accompany me shopping. And since Huanhuan was born, I haven't gone shopping at all! As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes became slightly moist!"

  "Alright, sis... don't cry! I'll risk my life to accompany you today, let's go shopping till we're satisfied!" Xiao Yu said, although he knew his sister was pretending to be pitiful.

  Xiao Yu heard her brother say so, turned her face away, secretly made a victory gesture, and continued the great cause of shopping.

  Xiao Yu looked at her sister from behind, although her clothes looked new, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that her sister's clothes were all mass-produced items worth a few hundred yuan. Xiao Yu was now considered a wealthy person, and in the same city, his money was by no means small. He thought to himself that he must buy his sister some better clothes.

  Xiao Yu pulled his sister's arm and came to the high-end area, Xiao Yu and his sister walked into a luxury store of an international brand.

  "Welcome!" said the waitress with a smile.

  The waiter saw Xiao Yu and the other person come in, took a glance and found that both of them were wearing clothes from street stalls worth two or three hundred yuan. He felt a slight sense of disdain in his heart, but the commercial building's training for employees was still quite thorough. With a programmed smile on his face, he said: "You two can take a look around and see if you find any clothes you like!"

  Although Xiao Yu rarely goes shopping for clothes, his eyesight is still very good. Xiao Yu glanced around the house and found that the clothes here are not bad. He then took his sister to go shopping together.

  "Take down that piece of clothing and let me see it!" Xiao Yu saw a light pink jacket, which was just suitable for the autumn season, so he said to the waiter.

  "It's okay... " Xiao Yu hastily said to the waiter, and then pulled Xiao Ye's arm and said: "Brother, you're seeking death! We're not buying anything, just browsing!"

  Xiao Xiao whispered to her sister: "Sis, what's there to be afraid of? It won't cost us anything to try!"

  "Help us take it down!"

  Xiao Yu and his sister's voices were very low, but they were still heard by the nearby waiter. The waiter looked down on them even more in his heart, thinking 'These poor people are really something, clearly having no money yet pretending to be rich, not buying anything, and it's us who suffer, what a nuisance!'

  The service staff here is quite good, although not very enthusiastic, but still went to fetch the clothes. The service staff brought the clothes over, Xiao Yu looked up at her brother, saw Xiao Ye nodding at her, and took the clothes into the fitting room.

  When Xiao Yu changed into her clothes and came out, Xiao Ye saw that his sister was radiant, with a face similar to their mother's, willow-leaf eyebrows, a melon-seed-shaped face, big eyes, and a slender figure. Wearing this pale pink jacket made her look youthful and beautiful, and no one could tell that she was already a mother of a child, without any change in her figure.

  When his sister went into the fitting room to change her clothes, Xiao Yu took out a card and walked up to the service staff, saying calmly: "Check!"

  "Uh, ah! What did you say, sir?" The waiter responded with a start, then reacted and asked again, fearing he had misheard.

  "I'm saying... settle... accounts!" Xiao Yu said with a mix of anger and amusement, enunciating each word clearly.

  The waiter was overjoyed, originally thinking it was all in vain, but unexpectedly they really made a purchase. This single transaction earned him a commission of over 300 yuan, which is almost equal to his four-day salary. Not bad, if he could get a few more deals like this every day, that would be great. The waiter thought to himself with a satisfied smile.

  The waiter took the card handed over by Xiao Yu, which was an ordinary industrial and commercial bank card. Although this person had made a lot of money for himself, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Pretending to be rich when you can't afford it, if you can't buy it then don't!"

  After Xiao You finished entering the password, the waiter said: "Hello, your total is 8,888 yuan. The remaining balance in your card is..."

  The salesgirl was used to reporting the balance on the card, but when she saw over 10 million yuan, she was like a chicken with its neck caught, her voice suddenly stopped. She wasn't someone who hadn't seen rich people buying clothes before, but those people weren't afraid of others knowing they were wealthy, wearing gold and silver, even wanting to hang a check around their necks. But the most those people had in their cards was tens or hundreds of millions of yuan. But this person, wearing 200-300 yuan worth of street goods, casually took out a card with over 10 million yuan on it - that's what you call a truly wealthy person.

  At this time, the waiter looked at Xiao Yu with a smile in his eyes and wrinkles on his face. In her eyes, Xiao Yu was no longer a poor ghost and a swollen face, but a low-key person.

  "Brother, what's wrong? Let's go!" Xiao Yu shouted as he came out after changing his clothes and saw Xiao Ye standing in front of the cash register.

  "Alright, let's go, it's about time!" Xiao Yu said without turning his head.

  The waiter returned the card to Xiao Yu, quickly ran to Xiao Yu's front, took over the clothes that Xiao Yu had changed out of and packed them well, slightly lowered his head, revealed a very kind smile, and gently gestured to the right, pointing to the innermost special counter: "Hello, you can take a look here, these are all our new autumn styles this year, they are the most popular French fashion this year!"

  "No need, no need, we're not buying, brother, let's go!" For some reason, Xiao Yu had just gone in to change clothes, and she felt that the waiter's smile was different from before. How could it be said that the previous one was a standardized smile, but now it was a heartfelt smile. Xiao Yu was very uncomfortable with the waiter's sudden change, and she quickly waved her hand and said.

  Upon hearing Xiao Yu say that, the waiter's originally bright eyes dimmed, but he still smiled and said: "Well, welcome to visit our store next time!"

  Only when they walked out of the boutique did Xiao Yu see Xiao Ye carrying a bag, and Xiao Yu said with a puzzled face: "Younger brother, what are you carrying? I didn't see you buy anything?" After finishing speaking, he snatched the bag from Xiao Ye's hand and started flipping through it.

  "Ah!" Xiao Yu opened the bag and took a look, it was actually the clothes she had tried on earlier, and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
