Chapter 73: Chapter 73 The Clown Skipping About
“Lin Xin, don’t say that. Sister rarely gets a chance to come in and browse.” Lu Kexin called her sister, but her eyes were filled with silent mockery.
Ever since she became the Lu family’s second daughter, she only showed her deep sisterly love in front of Dad and strangers.
Privately, she had long lost any patience with Wanwan, and mockery was a staple of their interactions.
“Hehe.” Lin Xin covered her mouth and laughed, her eyes squinting into slits, looking at Wanwan with the eyes of a scorned dog, “Cousin is right, she rarely has the courage to come in, so let her have a look around, satisfy her eyes. Anyway, she can’t afford it. The price of a casual pair of earrings here is more than she could earn in several months of street vending, has Miss Lu forgotten?”
Lu Wanwan gave her a cold glance, and Lin Xin felt intimidated by that look.
Even though she was the poorest one here, why did she feel like a jester under her gaze?
The irritation rising from embarrassed anger made her even more displeased with Wanwan, and she pointed at her, saying to the sales associate beside them, “Why are you following her around? Do you think she’s going to buy something? Don’t be fooled by her pretending to be a wealthy young lady; she can’t afford it!”
Lu Kexin was initially unsure whether Dad had given her money on the side.
Then her sharp eyes caught that the YLP dress Lu Wanwan was wearing was missing the Swarovski button it should have had.
Lu Wanwan had intentionally cut off the button, so it looked less luxurious as an authentic product but still without flaws.
It was this change that convinced Lu Kexin it was definitely a knockoff!
“Sister, is there anything you fancy? Want me to give it to you? No worries, I won’t tell Dad.” Lu Kexin slightly lifted the corner of her lips, looking at the sales associate, “Whatever she’s interested in, bring it to the counter to pay together, okay?”
The sales associate hesitated and hadn’t opened her mouth yet when Lin Xin interrupted, “Cousin, why bother giving her anything? You’re so generous, but she won’t thank you. She might even hate you for it. If it weren’t for you, she would be Mrs. Gu now! What a pity, Mr. Gu doesn’t even glance at her!”
“The lady wants to buy a KR watch,” the sales associate said hesitantly, unsure whether to really take it over to pay.
Lin Xin and Lu Kexin exchanged a glance, then Lu Kexin arrogantly moved forward, “Since my cousin has said to bring it over together to pay, I might as well see what kind of watch Miss Lu was planning to buy with the money she’d earn from several months of street vending.”
The watch was exceptionally expensive, and the sales associate, seeing Lin Xin’s unapologetic reach for it, prepared to intervene.
“Let her take a look, it’s fine,” Lu Wanwan insisted on seeing what they wanted to do, “After all, they can afford it.”
Lin Xin snatched it and, without looking closely, sneered, “What’s this? Not a single diamond. Miss Lu, isn’t buying such a cheap thing beneath you?”
Lu Kexin usually didn’t wear watches and didn’t understand their value. She just thought the watch’s design was very simple and didn’t look expensive.
“Lin Xin, give it back to her,” she said nonchalantly.
“Miss Lu, here you go.” Lin Xin’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, intentionally letting go a second before Lu Wanwan could grasp it.
The watch clattered to the ground, its face shattering.
“Oh dear, I dropped it by accident.” Lin Xin blinked deliberately, “Miss Lu, that’s unfortunate. Why didn’t you catch it?”
The hearts of all the staff jumped, “Miss, the watch is priced at one hundred ninety-eight thousand!!”
