Chapter 600: Chapter 597: In the Name of Husband and Wife (5)
“What about women’s garments? Did you have any favorite clothes this year that you wished a relative or a friend would buy for you?”
The host was digging one pitfall after another for her, essentially trying to hint at and ask about her current relationship status.
Xia Siyu found it even stranger, “If I like something, I can buy it myself. Why would I need someone else to buy it for me?”
The host was even more flustered, wasn’t it agreed that Xia Siyu was a gold digger? Although this luxury brand wasn’t like Hermès, which requires matching offers, a bag costs tens of thousands, and a dress can cost several hundred thousand. Xia Siyu was very dedicated: when attending events, she would always wear clothes from this brand, from head to toe.
The clothes, bags, and shoes she wore were the brand’s new collection for the year, which money couldn’t buy yet as they were specifically provided by the brand. If the items weren’t too expensive, the brand would often just gift them to her, allowing her to wear them to events as a form of free promotion.
If she wore specially tailored haute couture dresses, she wouldn’t take advantage of anyone—she’d pay if money was due.
The host, as expected, scanned her outfit with a glance, “And this outfit of yours?”
Xia Siyu didn’t indulge her, responding directly, “Isn’t this provided by your brand?”
Asking her? How ridiculous.
Having failed to dig a pit, the situation turned awkward, and everyone apart from Xia Siyu felt a bit embarrassed. It was just a lousy host; Xia Siyu was already doing her a favor by acknowledging her, there was no need to bestow extra attention on a Joker.
However, before leaving, she took off the watch and earrings provided by the brand and placed them in the host’s palm, “These are sponsored by your store, so take good care of them. If you break them, that’s fifty thousand yuan.”
Then she put on her own rose gold bracelet and waved at the audience, “This one I bought myself. Do you all want it?”
A crowd shouted, “We want it!”
“You want it? I’m not giving it to you; earn your own money and buy it,” Xia Siyu said mercilessly as she turned and walked away. Whatever scolding the host might receive from the brand, it wasn’t her concern. She had always done things her own way. She wasn’t going to pander to passersby with some lucky draw giveaway. Why should she conduct a giveaway? Maybe you were just cursing me yesterday. Am I an idiot to give you money?
If it were true fans who supported her, like Shengxia Yanyu, she was willing to spend money, time, and thought to maintain those relationships. As for other noble passersby, forget it.
After she got into the car, Qin Baizhou, who was also attending a brand’s runway event that day, had come with her. He hadn’t gotten out of the car but had watched the entire live stream of Xia Siyu’s brand endorsement event. Once in the car, he began to speak, then hesitated, “In the future, let me deal with such idiots; you don’t need to confront them yourself. I’ll make sure they can’t stay in Yancheng. But there’s no need to offend the brands either.”
He paused, then added, “And there’s no need to provoke the onlookers.”
Xia Siyu knew he meant well; Qin Baizhou was accustomed to dealing with interpersonal relationships differently from her–she was someone who lived for immediate joys and grievances. Whoever wronged her would get an instant retort from her.
As for holding back and playing dirty later, it would make her so angry she’d get mammary gland hyperplasia.
It was Bo Yan, however, who left her a message, “The clothes are beautiful. And the bracelet looks good too.”
Xia Siyu had changed into a new outfit, clearly, Bo Yan had watched the live stream too.
Xia Siyu was feeling indignant and decided to tease him, “I’m so pitiful, my bracelet and clothes are all bought by myself, no one has gifted me anything.”
