Chapter 276: Buying a Bracelet
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Ma’am, our shop is a national chain. The styles you see here are the latest, and the prices are all the same nationwide,” the shop assistant introduced enthusiastically.
Xia Wan nodded and continued watching. Chen MO stayed by her side.
Xia Wan realized that although this store had a lot of jewelry styles, they did not actually vary much in design. They had only used flowers that had good meanings in China as decorations on the bracelet. The bracelet itself did not change much.
If the bracelet itself was modified, these pieces could sell quickly. For example, if the original round bracelet was made into a half-open shape, on the one hand, it could make the entire bracelet look more fashionable, and on the other hand, there would be more places for innovation.
“Help me pick this up and take a look,” Xia Wan pointed at a thin silver bracelet decorated with a four-leaf clover.
“Alright,” the shop assistant enthusiastically handed the bracelet to Xia Wan and introduced it simultaneously. “This is the latest design by our designer this season. Madam, you have good taste. This bracelet is priced at 150 yuan and is very popular among young women nowadays.”
Xia Wan nodded.
150 yuan was not expensive to her, but it was equivalent to half of the monthly income of most county residents.
Chen MO frowned slightly. He felt that the price of this bracelet was too low.
Yes, he wanted Xia Wan to pick a bracelet that could be taken out at any time, but in Chen Mo’s eyes, an ordinary bracelet would cost at least 500 yuan.
At that moment, Song Zhi and Zhou Li entered the jewelry shop.
Seeing Xia Wan, Zhou Li deliberately raised her voice and said, “Xia Wan, why are you here to buy things? I remember that your family’s financial situation isn’t good. I heard that your father’s hospitalization fees haven’t been settled yet.”
As if she had just seen Chen MO, she said exaggeratedly, “Xia Wan, who is this? Is he your new boyfriend? Is he here to buy you a bracelet?”
The waitress, who was still smiling, looked at Xia Wan differently after hearing Zhou Li’s words.
When Xia Wan and Chen MO first came in, the waiter thought they were very good-looking. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. However, after hearing Zhou Li’s words, the waiter felt that this was another person who used her beauty to cheat men of their money.
At that moment, the waiter’s attitude also changed slightly. He was not as enthusiastic towards Xia Wan as before and only watched coldly from the side.
Only then did Xia Wan look at Zhou Li. Speaking of which, Zhou Li and Zhou Chen were related. Zhou Li was Zhou Chen’s cousin. In her previous life, after she found out about their relationship, she often went to curry favor with Zhou Li in the hope that she would put in a good word for her in front of Zhou Chen.
However, Zhou Li would only take her snacks and even ask to copy her homework. In front of others, she would belittle Xia Wan in all sorts of ways.
Xia Wan didn’t even look at herself. Her family wasn’t much, and her studies were so bad. She was only good-looking. Why did she think that she was worthy of Zhou Chen?
Xia Wan felt disgusted just thinking about this kind of person.
Yes, she was blind in her previous life and fell for Zhou Chen, but Zhou Li should not have ruined her sincerity like this.
Xia Wan’s eyes were very cold. “Do I know you very well? What does it have to do with you whether I can afford the jewelry or not? How did you know that my father was hospitalized and had no money to pay for his medical expenses?”
Xia Wan moved closer to Zhou Li. Her aura was fierce, which surprised Zhou Li
and intimidated her.
It had only been a holiday, but why did she feel that Xia Wan seemed to have changed a lot?
In the past, if Xia Wan saw her, she would definitely welcome her with a smile and try to curry favor with her. At the same time, she would ask about Zhou Chen.
However, Xia Wan’s eyes were no longer fawning when she looked at her. Instead, they were cold and even filled with disgust.
Did Xia Wan not like Zhou Chen anymore?
Zhou Li could not help but look at Chen Mo.
She felt that the man in front of her was very handsome. Her cousin Zhou Chen could not be compared to him at all.
Zhou Li stared at Chen MO, which made Chen MO feel a little disgusted. However, in front of Xia Wan, Chen MO could not flare up. He was afraid that it would affect his image in Xia Wan’s heart.
Xia Wan stood in front of Chen MO, blocking Zhou Li’s line of sight.
She looked at Zhou Li mockingly. “What’s wrong? Have you never seen a man before? You can’t take your eyes off him..”
