"The original price for the two sets of clothing is a total of 73,000 RMB, with a discount of 9.5 percent, the final settlement is 69,350 RMB!" The salesclerk seemed a bit indignant on behalf of Ling Xuejiu as she spoke, glancing at Leng Xuan before deliberately and seemingly kindly revealing a professional smile, "Sir, for such expensive clothes, I would still suggest that you try them on first to be more appropriate!" As soon as she said this, indeed, both Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie’s eyes widened in astonishment. What was this Leng Xuan up to? He chose two sets of such expensive clothes without even trying them on???
Leng Xuan hadn’t expected this clerk to be so cunning, exposing in front of Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie that he had chosen the two most expensive sets of clothing without even trying them on. Even with a thick skin he couldn’t help but flush with embarrassment, indeed feeling awkward. However, he managed to maintain a calm facade and said, "Is it mandatory to try on the clothes here before purchasing them?"
The salesclerk with a sly glint in her eye, feigning a bit of apology, said, "This... Of course not, it’s just a little personal suggestion of mine. If the gentleman doesn’t want to try them on, it’s no problem to buy them directly."
"Your personal suggestion?" Leng Xuan’s lips curled into a scornful sneer, he said lightly, "Sorry, I look down on you so much, how could I possibly take your advice?"
The salesclerk felt a jolt at those words, thinking Damn, this bumpkin is really mean with his words, isn’t he? She looked up at Leng Xuan, seeming ready to burst into anger, but then she noticed that although Leng Xuan was wearing a simple school uniform, his face bore an expression of overpowering dominance when it was devoid of emotion, like a sovereign looking down from above. In front of him, the salesclerk suddenly felt as insignificant as a peasant, so small and meek. A chill ran down her spine, and just as she wanted to say something to save face, in the face of Leng Xuan’s disdainful gaze, she didn’t dare to let out even a peep, with her complexion looking extremely ugly.
After exchanging a glance with Li Mengjie, Ling Xuejiu really felt the fire of nameless rage rising within her. This Leng Xuan, he hadn’t even tried on the clothes and had chosen two sets so expensive, obviously trying to provoke her. Did he see her as some kind of ATM?
Thinking this, she felt particularly irritated, glaring fiercely at Leng Xuan, who displayed an indifferent ’take it or leave it’ demeanor, which only fueled her anger even more. Just as she was about to explode, she heard Li Mengjie say, "Hm, only a little over 60,000 huh? That’s quite cheap, don’t you think, Xue Jiu?"
Li Mengjie truly knew how to drop bombshells, leaving the salesclerk nearly fainting upon hearing her words. What did she mean by only a little over 60,000? That was more than she could earn in a whole year of hard work!
Ling Xuejiu had just extended her gold card, but then pulled it back suddenly, turning to Li Mengjie and said, "Fine then, you pay!"
Li Mengjie let out an "Eh," and said, "Why should I? Xue Jiu, I never said I would buy clothes for your bodyguard!"
Ling Xuejiu, struggling to contain her anger, thought to herself that even though Li Mengjie hadn’t said that, she was making snide remarks. Damn girl, it’s easy for you to talk without feeling the pain, you’ll see when we get back.
This time, Ling Xuejiu was truly angry. Although Miss Ling didn’t care about the small sum, Leng Xuan’s attitude deeply irritated her. What kind of person was this? She had kindly intended to buy him two sets of clothes, and instead of being grateful, he was deliberately trying to upset her, which made her feel an inexplicable pang of sadness.
