Chapter 1129: Chapter 1127: Pretending Cos at a Cost
“Huihui, if he doesn’t want to go, don’t force him,” Zhou Hui’s mom said before Wang Dadong could speak.
Wang Dadong laughed and said, “It’s okay, Auntie. I have nothing else to do, so let’s go together.”
Zhou Hui’s mom’s face darkened imdiately. She thought to herself, this guy is really shaless. I’ve made it so obvious, and yet he insists on tagging along.
Well, since Huihui seems to have so affection for this poor boy, it’s a good opportunity to make him give up.
Although Zhou Hui’s family isn’t well-off, Zhou Hui has at least attended college, so Zhou Hui’s mom has high standards for her son-in-law.
At least, she couldn’t marry a security guard.
i Wenhua had no complaints about Wang Dadong tagging along. In fact, he was rather happy.
For soone who loves to show off, if there’s no one to overshadow, where would the sense of accomplishnt co from?
Downstairs, i Wenhua started the car.
It was a Buick, not worth more than three hundred thousand yuan, at most about two hundred thousand. And from the looks of it, it wasn’t very new, at least over three years old.
Originally, i Wenhua wanted Zhou Hui to sit in the front seat, but Zhou Hui sat in the back seat instead.
After Zhou Hui got on, Wang Dadong also sat down without hesitation. i Wenhua was so annoyed he could grind his teeth, but he had no choice.
A few minutes later, Zhou Hui’s mom, sitting in the front seat, said, “Wenhua, I rember last ti when Huihui took
to the mall, we didn’t take this route?”
i Wenhua smiled mildly and said, “Auntie, today I’m taking you to a real big mall.”
Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of the Nuomate Mall.
This ti, i Wenhua wasn’t boasting. It was indeed a super large mall, the best in Jiangdu City.
However, while Nuomate is the largest mall, not everything inside is expensive. It’s divided into sections, including regular areas, advanced level shopping areas, luxury goods stores, and so on.
In the regular area, you can buy several pieces of clothing for a thousand or two. Of course, in the advanced level or luxury areas, tens of thousands might not be enough to buy one item.
Nuomate is huge, about the size of several football fields, filled with a dazzling array of goods, including food, clothing, costics, digital appliances, and other daily necessities.
As a nationally renowned shopping center, Nuomate’s decor is absolutely top-notch, with luxurious crystal chandeliers and polished marble floors that reflect human silhouettes, exuding an aura of luxury everywhere.
“Cousin, feel free to shop today, it’s on ,” i Wenhua said spiritedly.
“Who needs you to pay? It’s not like I can’t afford it,” Zhou Hui mumbled softly.
“How are you speaking?” Zhou Hui’s mom imdiately gave Zhou Hui a glare, and Zhou Hui obediently shut her mouth.
The four of them began to stroll around Nuomate.
That’s how girls are; once they enter a store, they can’t help themselves. Even Zhou Hui, who originally didn’t plan to buy clothes, started trying things on.
Soon, Wang Dadong was carrying bags upon bags.
But mostly it was i Wenhua buying things for Zhou Hui’s mom. Zhou Hui didn’t want anything initially, but under her mom’s pressure, she eventually let i Wenhua buy her an inexpensive dress.
Anyway, Zhou Hui had decided that once her mom left, she would throw it away.
It looked like they bought a lot, but in fact, it didn’t cost much, just three to four thousand yuan, since i Wenhua hadn’t taken them to buy luxury goods.
But for Zhou Hui’s mom, three to four thousand yuan was a lot.
So, at this mont, Zhou Hui’s mom’s smile was as bright as a blooming flower.
Originally, Zhou Hui wanted i Wenhua to help carry things, but her mom said that Wang Dadong, being a security guard, was strong and could carry more.
Wang Dadong didn’t complain about being free labor. No matter how snobbish Zhou Hui’s mom was, she was still Zhou Hui’s mom.
For such a purely snobbish mother, Wang Dadong even found her sowhat endearing because dealing with her was really too easy.
As they walked, they arrived at the luxury goods section. i Wenhua’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly said, “Aunt Wu, I think we’re about done shopping, let’s head back.”
Are you kidding? In Jiangdu City, i Wenhua might be middle class, but he’s not wealthy enough to indulge in luxury goods.
After all, his monthly salary is just over twenty thousand, and the items here can cost tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of yuan.
One mistake and his entire year’s salary could go down the drain.
Wang Dadong, of course, knew that i Wenhua couldn’t keep up the pretense, so he smiled and said, “Exactly, we’ve spent quite a bit of Boss i’s money today, let’s not let him spend more.”
“What’s a little money?” i Wenhua, wanting to impress his future mother-in-law, said imdiately.
But after he said it, he regretted it. Ahead were luxury shops, and though won love shopping, they don’t like retracing their steps.
This ant that if they continued, they would go forward to places they hadn’t been before.
If they entered a luxury shop, it wouldn’t be a small expense.
But regret was futile; the words were already out, and there was no taking them back.
The best he could hope for was that Zhou Hui’s mom and Zhou Hui were tired of shopping.
“Oh, since it’s like that, should we shop a bit more?” Wang Dadong suggested.
At this mont, i Wenhua really hated Wang Dadong. If he’d known, he wouldn’t have let this guy co along; he’s just causing trouble!
“Sure, sure.” Zhou Hui’s mom didn’t recognize luxury brand nas, but how could Zhou Hui not? i Wenhua, don’t you like to show off? Let’s see enough of it!
Since Zhou Hui said so, i Wenhua could only force himself to say, “In that case, let’s keep shopping.”
The four of them walked forward.
The first stop was the Chanel counter. Chanel is quite a high-end brand, but not too high-end, with prices still within i Wenhua’s acceptable range.
He hoped Aunt Wu wouldn’t choose anything too expensive.
But Zhou Hui’s mom was obviously used to i Wenhua’s big spender persona. After entering the store, she directly pointed to three rather pretty bags at the entrance.
“Ma’am, would you like to take a look at these three bags?” the sales assistant asked very politely.
“No, I want all three.”
Upon hearing this, i Wenhua almost staggered. Aunt, you think these are like those low-level products, where you can buy a pile for a few thousand?
Zhou Hui’s mom seed to notice the change in i Wenhua’s expression, and she whispered, “Wenhua, are they too expensive?”
“Not expensive, not at all expensive, Aunt Wu. As long as you like them, we’ll buy them!” Having played it up this far, naturally, he had to keep going.
When the sales assistant calculated the total, i Wenhua almost choked. The three bags were more than fifty thousand.
This is the cost of showing off!
