This sentence was not directed at Shen Yuemei, but at Shen Yuelan.
“What do you mean? Looking down on people?” Shen Yuelan had not even spoken yet.
Shen Yuemei, who was standing nearby, spoke up instead, and even deliberately put on an act of standing up for Shen Yuelan.
“Madam, I do not mean anything else by it, but this is indeed how things are here.” The shop assistant showed no sign of backing down either.
“Are you looking down on people?” Shen Juntao also spoke up from the side, putting on a false show of outrage.
“Let me tell you, my Aunt Yuelan is a business queen. Forget a mere seven hundred and fifty thousand for this bag, even if it were seven million and five hundred thousand, my Aunt Yuelan could afford it.” Shen Yuer was also fanning the flames from the side.
“Oh my, I cannot tell. Then buy this bag and show me.” The shop assistant spoke disdainfully from the side.
“What do you mean?”
“Call your manager over here!” Shen Yuemei also shouted from the side, pretending to be angry.
“What is going on?” Suddenly a woman in her forties walked over.
“You can tell me if there is anything wrong, I am the owner of this shop!” The owner also had a look of contempt on her face.
The shop assistant explained briefly.
“I think our shop assistant is right.” The owner had a cold sneer on her face.
“I do not think you can afford it. Business queen, you really dare to boast.” The owner suddenly sneered coldly.
“Aunt Yuelan, we cannot let this go, it is too infuriating.” Shen Yuer continued to play along from the side.
Right at that moment, Luo Chen caught up with them.
“What is going on?” Luo Chen frowned and asked.
“They are looking down on people, saying Aunt Yuelan should not touch it if she cannot afford it.”
“We are telling Aunt Yuelan to buy this bag to show them, so they know what it means to judge people by their appearance.” Shen Yuer pretended to explain.
“Is this bag very expensive?” Luo Chen let out a cold laugh.
“This bag costs seven hundred and fifty thousand, do you think that is expensive or not?” The owner also spoke coldly.
“Fine, however many such bags you have in your shop, I want them all.”
“Xiao Chen.” Shen Yuelan was afraid Luo Chen would fall for the trap, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him.
“Haha, you want however many bags I have?”
“Why do you not just say you will buy the whole shop?” The owner snorted coldly.
“Young man, if you have no money, take your mother and get out quickly, do not affect other people’s business!” The owner also let out a cold laugh.
“Fine, how much is your shop?” Luo Chen also smiled.
“My shop, thirty million, do you want it?” The owner mocked.
“Xiao Chen, do not act on impulse.”
“Mum, it is fine, just stand aside and watch the show.” Luo Chen comforted her.
“It is only thirty million, no big deal.” Luo Chen showed a mocking expression.
“Only thirty million?” The owner also laughed.
“Young man, I will not even ask you to buy this shop. As long as you can produce thirty million, you can take whatever you want from the shop, as much as you like.”
“But if you cannot produce that much money today, you kneel down, kowtow and apologise, then get out of here.” The owner spoke with full confidence.
“Xiao Chen.” Shen Yuelan was getting anxious. Luo Chen only had over ten million on him, where would he get thirty million?
But Luo Chen spoke directly.
“Fine!”
“Little brother Xiao Chen, are you not being too impulsive?” Shen Juntao spoke from the side with a hint of sarcasm.
“You should know that is thirty million.” Shen Yuer also mocked from the side.
Meanwhile, Li Jiayi was shaking her head from the side.
Luo Chen fell for such simple provocation.
Her own mother actually thought highly of this kind of person, and wanted her to get closer to him?
Was he not probably an idiot?
Moreover, Li Jiayi was well aware that Luo Chen did indeed have some money on him, but not as much as thirty million.
“It does not matter, it is only thirty million.” Luo Chen appeared completely unconcerned.
“Aunt Yuelan, I heard that little brother Xiao Chen seems to have over ten million in his hands, but there is something I am not sure whether I should tell you.” Shen Juntao suddenly sneered coldly.
“What is it?” Shen Yuelan had a bad feeling.
“It is like this.” Shen Juntao spoke slowly.
“Today I heard from a friend that yesterday at the Ulaanbaatar bar, they seemed to have met someone who was taken there by a bar hostess to play.”
“Then that person spent over ten million at Ulaanbaatar, and it seems to have been little brother Xiao Chen.” As soon as Shen Juntao said this, Li Jiayi, Shen Yuelan and the others were instantly stunned.
“Xiao Chen, did you go there last night?” Shen Yuelan was getting anxious.
“Yes.”
“Then you were really swindled out of over ten million?” Shen Yuelan asked, somewhat unable to believe it.
“Yes.” Luo Chen spoke.
“Big brother Xiao Chen, what can I say to you?”
“You were blinded by lust, were you not?” Shen Yuer spoke deliberately from the side, feigning deep distress.
“Luo Chen, were you really swindled out of that much money?” Li Jiayi also had an expression of disbelief.
How fucking stupid was that?
Swindled out of over ten million by a bar hostess?
He was really a fucking idiot, and an idiot through and through, was he not?
Moreover, if this matter got out, let alone other people.
Shen Yuelan would be laughed at by the entire Shen family.
This could completely be called a foolish son.
Even Shen Yuelan was frozen in place, she had not quite reacted yet.
“It is fine, Xiao Chen, it is fine.” Shen Yuelan quickly comforted him.
“Aunt Yuelan, what do you mean it is fine?” Li Jiayi was getting anxious.
“Was that not given to you by your father?”
“How hard must they have worked in the county town to save up ten million?” Li Jiayi said angrily.
Even Li Yingying was almost disappointed in Luo Chen.
“Sigh, this child has been in the county town all along, how could he know the outside world is so…”
“Aunt Yuelan, at a time like this you are still making excuses for him?”
“That is over ten million, it is not a small sum!” Li Jiayi stamped her foot in anger.
“You should not blame little brother Xiao Chen either, after all he just arrived in Yanjing and has no experience yet, after going through it a few more times…”
“Brother Juntao, that is a bit wasteful.” Shen Yuer interrupted Shen Juntao.
Although Shen Yuelan also felt she had lost face, she was even more afraid that Luo Chen would be psychologically hurt, so she quickly wanted to comfort him.
“Sigh, Yuelan, why do you not take this child to the hospital for a check-up, perhaps this child…”
“Shen Yuemei, how can you speak like that?” Shen Yuelan directly exploded in anger this time.
“Hmph, how am I speaking? Am I wrong?” Shen Yuemei let out a cold laugh.
“Do not think I cannot see it, today’s matter is a setup you orchestrated. I, Shen Yuelan, am not stupid to that extent!” Shen Yuelan had just been holding back a belly full of anger, she had tolerated it, but now, she did not intend to endure it any longer.
Because Shen Yuemei’s words just now had thoroughly enraged her.
But Shen Yuemei also directly tore off all pretence.
“So what if we orchestrated a setup?”
“Do you still think you are that business queen?”
“You are now someone who cannot even afford a seven hundred and fifty thousand bag.”
“You are now someone who can only shop at the farmers’ market when going out!”
