Chapter 1088: Where is your gold bracelet?

~8 min read 1,422 words

Seeing Mao Li, old grudges and new hatreds surged in Wu Lan's heart. Why else would people say that in this day and age, the more heartless one is, the more they enjoy life! When it comes to being filial to elders, whoever is honest and soft-hearted is the one who loses out!

At this moment, she raised her wrist and flipped her palm back and forth under the lights. The counter lights were all designed; a casual glance made everything sparkle with golden light, and she said exaggeratedly: "Heavy? Oh my, this is stuff worth less than 100,000; how heavy could it be?"

Lu Jing to the side almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Good, good, good, what a "less than 100,000"! She couldn't tell that her future in-law was actually quite sharp-tongued.

Yet the salesperson to the side loved such customers the most and even chimed in: "That's right! This is less than 100,000; Sister, just buy it and wear it casually—actually, I think this signature piece of ours is most suitable for someone as noble as you..."

"Is that so?" Wu Lan hadn't been flattered so directly before. Even though she was currently stirring up trouble, she couldn't help but be attracted: "Oh my, this bracelet is indeed pretty!"

The heavy bracelet set against the black velvet cloth; one could tell it wasn't cheap just by the size. Mao Li to the side was not only ignored but also couldn't afford such a bracelet, and the sourness in her heart was super-doubled!

Actually, to say she couldn't afford it wasn't entirely true; her family still had some savings, but she could grit her teeth and use her savings to buy it, which was completely different from Wu Lan's state of buying it casually!

The more she thought, the angrier she got: "Pfft!"

"Wu Lan, you too, how did you end up like an upstart... If you have that money, buy yourself two sets of decent clothes! Look at your sweater, it's so plain, it doesn't even have a pattern."

What a coincidence, right?!

Because she was truly very frugal and very good at saving money. Don't look at how she did a big business at home, she really hadn't bought any decent clothes, but she was very good at blowing the price of a hundred-yuan item down by a digit.

Lu Jing tried her best to hold back her laughter and put on a straight face, as if she didn't know that the sweater was on sale for 688 and the two of them had chosen the same style:

Wu Lan had never been so embarrassed in her life, not to mention Lu Jing had a loud voice, and by then, she had already attracted quite a few people looking at gold nearby to secretly prick up their ears!

Or perhaps it was Lu Chuan's dark history?

Who knew that by a stroke of luck, Lu Jing's words had hit Wu Lan's most insecure spot.

She wanted to break free from the arm Lu Jing was holding, but the other person looked thin but had quite a lot of strength. After struggling back and forth, her sleeve was pulled up, revealing the full appearance of that gold bracelet.

Although she didn't know what conflict the person in front of her had with Lu Jing, thinking of the people she met when buying gold, it was clear that gold wards off evil, so the other person definitely wasn't anything good, so she had to give her a good slap in the face!

The clerk was right! Truly wealthy people don't even have a label on their clothes. Like their high-end cashmere, what they want is this low-key style; people whose life level hasn't reached that point can't tell!

And the two mothers sat together talking, their expressions changing frequently, full of sighs, and from time to time they would slap their thighs and sigh heavily...

For some reason, Lu Chuan always felt this scene was a bit familiar.

Lu Jing was rarely this tough. Mao Li watched from the side, certain that there were new grudges and old hatreds, so she simply reached out and pulled up her sleeve.

Song Tan was also quite curious: "What are you talking about? You're not still trying to sell to her, are you?"

So she took off the jewelry on her hand: "I don't want these two, I want all the rest!"

"Ziyi has her daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of? I just want to see the style, I don't want yours..."

So, when Lu Chuan and Song Tan returned to the entrance of the movie theater, they saw Qiaoqiao excitedly grabbing dolls by himself, a plastic bag full of coins, but obviously not a single trophy behind him.

That's a long story, so Mao Li also had a look of indescribable emotion: "Don't mention it, I also talked to someone in the capital before..."

Wu Lan:???

"Sister-in-law, look at how grandly you speak, I thought you really had it... I didn't expect it to be like this... Sorry, sorry, come, come, come, Sister-in-law, let's look at real gold!"

It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once she did, Lu Jing instantly remembered something and hurriedly pulled Wu Lan behind the counter: "Sister-in-law, I remember you bought a gold bracelet many years ago, right? Will it change color after wearing it for a long time? Let me see and compare!"

She instantly began to struggle: "No, no... Ziyi is still over there, I'll go look..."

As for gold... Oh my! She was still thinking about her daughter-in-law giving her a grandson in two years, how could she not save money for her grandson?

How should I put it?

Lu Jing had only eaten the brainwashing from the cashmere shop clerk this afternoon, and by now her mind was full of high-end luxury and low-key style.

Now she was instantly spotted by Lu Jing!

After a moment of silence, Mao Li let go of her hand, and then her face was full of embarrassment and sincerity:

Wu Lan's face instantly flushed red. She pulled her sleeve down and walked away hurriedly without even raising her head!

And in the gap of waiting, Mao Li suddenly asked Lu Jing curiously: "I see your temper is quite good, unlike me, loud and impatient. How did you match up with her so well just now?"

"Wow, this bracelet is also very big... but why is it this color? Come, Sister-in-law, take it off and I'll let the clerk help you wash it!"

Wu Lan didn't lose the battle even if she lost the person, and she remained stubborn: "What's there to be proud of? Really shallow, buying a bit of gold and thinking you're rich... We wear it on our bodies every day, we don't take it seriously."

The clerk was overjoyed, and at this moment said "Ah" and immediately went to weigh it and write the order.

Several clerks who had been secretly eating melon gathered around, each of them full of excitement, and Mao Li covered her mouth hypocritically:

But there was still a piece of vague yellow jewelry gathered on her wrist...

"Yeah, next time we have to buy expensive ones, otherwise some people who haven't seen the world won't recognize them."

Lu Chuan also gave a bitter smile: "My mom might be sharing your feelings..."

But if we really talk about dark history, can't Lu Jing have that kind of approving expression? She usually only does that when following gossip...

Then she broke out in a cold sweat!

At this moment, she cleared her throat and sighed: "Mao Li, look at what I said? That sweater for over 5,000 is just not as good as that 20,000 one, if I had known, I would have bought that one!"

This kind of attentiveness and politeness, it's better not to have it! At the very least, if she hadn't said it, the people around wouldn't have laughed so loudly.

Good heavens, a thick gold bracelet was revealed, but the color wasn't very bright; it was brass-colored.

Hey!

It's not that it's not yellow enough, it's just the color of a five-cent coin that has been in circulation for many years; that's what color it is. ===== CHAPTER 1089 =====

It can only be said that it is yellow, not the color of a seven-cent coin in circulation among teenagers; whatever color it is, that is what color it is.
