Chapter 11: Is It Something She Can Afford?

Bai Shuruo tried them on one by one, and every time she came out in a new outfit, Han Yangting said it looked good.

With prices this high, how could they not look good?

The clothes she used to wear were all dug up from Taobao; the expensive ones were around a hundred yuan, and most were just a few dozen.

The fabric and craftsmanship of this store were excellent, and wearing them, she looked even better than Chu Xun did when trying on clothes at Metersbonwe; she truly looked like a different person, to the point where she could barely recognize herself.

Bai Shuruo wasn't greedy, feeling that two or three sets were enough, so she picked out three sets using the most cost-effective combinations based on the store's promotions.

She had originally intended to pay with her own card, as she still had about two thousand yuan on it.

But Han Yangting was the first to hand his card to the sales clerk, saying, "Charge mine."

Bai Shuruo hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Han, how about..."

"Don't fight me on this, I'm your husband!" he said decisively and sternly.

Seeing this, the sales clerk immediately took Han Yangting's card and smiled at Bai Shuruo: "Little sister, your boyfriend is so good to you, don't be so polite with him."

Bai Shuruo: "..."

After leaving the store, Han Yangting asked her: "Do you want to go look around other shops?"

Bai Shuruo said contentedly: "No need, Brother Han, I think these few pieces are enough. If I want to buy more later, I'll wait until I get my salary."

"Fine, as you wish." Han Yangting did not force her.

Watching Han Yangting and Bai Shuruo leave the mall, the assistant Ali, who had finished his coffee, walked out.

He went from shop to shop notifying the sales clerks: "Alright, the station has sent word that the event is over. Hurry and restore the original prices, then calculate how much money was lost today, and we will compensate you for the difference."

"It's over so soon?" The sales clerks were extremely disappointed.

This had been their best day of business, selling so many clothes; their performance for the entire month couldn't compare to these two hours.

Although they sold them cheaply, this Ali had given them money in advance, with the difference to be settled later.

Ali said helplessly: "Next time. If the station holds another event, I'll come and notify you again."

"..."

Some sales clerks pestered the seemingly young and promising Ali: "Mr. Ali, let's add each other on WeChat. If the station has another event next time, you must come find us again."

Ali took another phone out of his pocket and opened WeChat: "Scan it."

A crowd of sales clerks swarmed over.

On the second-floor escalator, Zhang Yuanyuan was coming down with a friend, holding milk tea.

Seeing that pretty figure at the mall entrance, she suddenly froze.

Isn't that Bai Shuruo?

Why is she carrying "onelive" clothes? Can she even afford such expensive clothes?

I heard her family is very poor and she relies on her sister for living expenses to attend university; even if she is going to intern at CG, she shouldn't be buying clothes this expensive.

She was about to chase after her to ask when a white SUV drove over, Bai Shuruo opened the door and got in, and the car drove away quickly.

"Yuanyuan, what are you looking at?" her friend asked.

Zhang Yuanyuan said with an unhappy expression: "Let's go look around the first floor."

"Aren't the clothes on the first floor too expensive? Didn't you say before that it's better to have more clothes than better quality ones? Only a fool would buy clothes from the first floor."

Zhang Yuanyuan glared at her friend: "Looking doesn't cost money. Besides, we didn't buy them before because we were still students, but now we have jobs, so it would be foolish not to buy them."

Zhang Yuanyuan and her friend walked into "onelive" and saw the sales clerks tidying up the event signs, things like "20% off" and "buy two get one free."

She hurriedly asked: "Sister, why were they sold so cheaply today?"

The sales clerk said embarrassedly: "That's right, but the event only lasted two hours and it's already over."

"Ah? Why did it end just as I arrived? Sister, please make an exception, I want to buy a few pieces too."

"It really isn't possible. Today the radio station was doing some secret filming, which is why we had this once-in-a-century event price."

"..." Zhang Yuanyuan and her friend were extremely disappointed; if they had known, they should have visited the first floor earlier tonight.

Zhang Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then took out her phone.

She sent a message to Wang Xuekai: I saw Bai Shuruo and her husband at the Shangmao Building. You were right, she really is married, and her husband looks quite wealthy.

Before long, Wang Xuekai replied: Boring.

In the car.

Bai Shuruo sat in the passenger seat, glancing at Han Yangting from time to time.

He was driving and didn't speak.

Even though it was a very spacious Land Rover SUV, why did she feel the cabin was so cramped? The air didn't seem to be circulating. She wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, so she could only look out the window.

It was Han Yangting who spoke first: "Were you at school all day today?"

"Yes," Bai Shuruo said honestly: "I went to ask the director for leave in the morning, and spent the afternoon reading in the library."

"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat later?" he asked again.

Bai Shuruo was indeed hungry, but she could take or leave dinner, always feeling that if she just pushed through, she wouldn't be hungry anymore.

"What does Brother Han want to eat? How about I treat you to a meal? As a... thank you for accompanying me to buy clothes."

Han Yangting said without hesitation: "Let's go to that private kitchen restaurant from last time, their seafood porridge is delicious."

"Okay."

Bai Shuruo answered crisply, while simultaneously weighing her savings.

Oh well, it's just 500 yuan; after I start my internship, if I grit my teeth and save, I can earn it back.

Besides, he spent over eight hundred yuan on those three pieces of clothing for her today.

At this moment, Bai Shuruo's phone rang again, and she hurriedly answered it.

Bai Shunan's crying came from the other end: "Ruoruo, what should I do? Gu Yunting's ex-girlfriend is back."

After hanging up the phone, Bai Shuruo immediately explained to Han Yangting: "Brother Han, I am truly sorry. I would like to go see my sister first; she is in a very bad state right now. How about I treat you to a meal another time?"

Although Han Yangting looked displeased, he still asked with restraint: "Where is your sister now? I will drive you there."

"At her home, Moonlight Bay Residential Complex."

Bai Shuruo knew the passcode to her sister's home, and after pressing it to open the door, she saw her sister half-reclining on the sofa holding a wine glass.

Even in a drunken state, Bai Shuruo still thought her sister looked extremely beautiful!

Her sister was 174 centimeters tall, 9 centimeters taller than Bai Shuruo, and usually liked to wear mature and sexy clothing; her figure was as good as a Victoria's Secret model, especially those long legs, which were slender, supple, and well-proportioned, exposed outside her skirt and full of charm.

Every time Bai Shuruo saw her sister, she felt that her sister was radiant.

"Sister, why are you drinking again?" Bai Shuruo trotted inside and pulled the blanket from the sofa to cover Bai Shunan's beautiful legs, so as to avoid embarrassment for Han Yangting, who was behind her.

Upon seeing Bai Shuruo, Bai Shunan could not help but hug her, her body trembling like a wounded kitten.

"Ruoruo, Gu Yunting's 'white moonlight' has returned. What should I do? What should I do?" The usually calm and decisive Bai Shunan was actually at a complete loss.
