Since you know him, you two can go ahead and pick something out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, \"I’m just going to wander around the store. Don’t follow me. Just let me know when it’s time to pay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Mr. Xu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Yun walk off to another section, the male sales associate began helping Ning Qian shop around the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were picking out clothes, the sales associate asked in a low voice, \"Xiaoqian, who was that man just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we close?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian said unhappily, \"You don’t have the right to call me Xiaoqian!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hook up with a sugar daddy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian replied coldly, \"What’s it to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know I like you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome sales associate said, somewhat angry, \"Why are you treating me like this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out the two of them were from the same hometown. They had grown up together, and the man had been in love with Ning Qian for a long time, pursuing her for years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ning Qian had never accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you’re just like me. You have no money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian said in a low voice, \"And another thing—shut your mouth, or I’m getting a different sales associate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male sales associate: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And don’t send me any more messages or texts. Stop harassing me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it turned out, she had chosen this particular store today for a couple of reasons. First, it genuinely had a few outfits suitable for the older woman they were shopping for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, she wanted to take this opportunity to use Xu Yun’s status to make her own stance clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have someone now. He’s more handsome than you and richer than you, so you can stop dreaming!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to make this man who was pursuing her give up completely and stop harassing her for good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A man’s tenderness without power is absolute bullshit!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Caught a cold? Just tells me to drink more hot water?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A stomachache? Just tells me to drink more hot water?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If I were dying, would he still just tell me to drink more hot water?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life she wanted was one where, if she got sick, she’d have the money to get treatment, not just stay at home drinking hot water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t a naive little girl anymore; she knew what she wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Ning Qian had two completely different attitudes when facing this man versus facing Xu Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the difference between having money and having none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reality was often just that cruel and unreasonable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, since Xu Yun had said beforehand that he didn’t want to be followed, no sales associates were trailing him, as he found it stifling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun discovered the store was huge, carrying all sorts of products: handbags, leather goods, shoes, accessories, clothing, and more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he knew it, he had wandered into the section displaying women’s handbags.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then he saw two familiar figures—it looked like Huang Mengyao and her best friend, Wang Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were haggling with a sales associate, asking if there was a discount on the bag they were holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing someone suddenly approach, Wang Qing glanced back casually and spotted him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression changed. She tugged on Huang Mengyao’s arm and said, \"Xu Yun is behind you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Yun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao froze for a moment, then turned around. Upon seeing Xu Yun, she asked irritably, \"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun hadn’t expected to run into her either. ’What a small world for enemies.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of being pleasant to this bitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can be here, why can’t I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun retorted with a smile, \"Don’t tell me you’re using my money to buy bags again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s my money, it has nothing to do with you. I’ll spend it however I want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun thought of the lawyer and chuckled. \"I hope you can still talk to me with this much backbone in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao sneered, \"And what about you? Do you have any money? What gives you the right to even browse in here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have any money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shrugged and replied casually, \"I was just bored, so I came to take a look around. Is that not allowed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Looking around is probably all you can afford to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao mocked, \"After all, not just anyone can afford the bags here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over on the other side, Ning Qian, who had just finished picking out the clothes, noticed the situation, immediately put down what she was holding, and hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d seen this sort of thing plenty of times and was experienced. Arriving on the scene, she took one look and understood exactly what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood obediently by Xu Yun’s side, deliberately glanced at Huang Mengyao, and asked sweetly, \"Darling, is this beautiful lady a friend of yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao and Wang Qing were a bit surprised to see this demure, bird-like woman suddenly appear at Xu Yun’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s only been a few days. When did Xu Yun get such a beautiful woman by his side?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shook his head. \"Not really. Just a woman who owes me money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian reached out, took Xu Yun’s arm, and said affectionately, \"I’ve already picked out the clothes for your mother. Do you want to go take a look?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun hadn’t expected Ning Qian to be so perceptive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She really knows how to play the game.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing how sensible she was, he felt he ought to reward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun played along. \"Qianqian, didn’t you say you wanted a bag? I think the one they’re holding is quite nice. I’ll get it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian could also tell that Xu Yun was deliberately targeting this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Ning Qian looked at the bag in the other woman’s hands and said to the sales associate beside her, \"That bag she’s holding, can I buy it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Technically, yes,\" the sales associate replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We saw this bag first. What makes you think you can just have it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao said to Ning Qian, \"Miss, this man you’re with has no money at all. He can’t afford this bag. Don’t let him fool you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pfft!\" Ning Qian couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao frowned. \"What are you laughing at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you said was funny, so I laughed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian said proudly, \"My man? As long as he wants to, there isn’t a single bag in this store he can’t afford.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Darling, you’re exaggerating. I definitely can’t afford any bags over two million.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun shot her a reproachful look. \"I’m just a poor man. Don’t go around bragging.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I understand,\" Ning Qian replied obediently, as if she had done something wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wait, you call someone who can’t afford a two-million-yuan bag a poor man?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao scoffed, \"It’s been a few days, Xu Yun, and you’ve really learned how to put on an act! Two million? Can you even afford a bag that costs more than twenty thousand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, as for whether my darling can afford it or not, you’re about to find out, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian looked at Huang Mengyao as if she were an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is a man who casually spent hundreds of thousands on clothes for me, and you’re saying he can’t afford a bag over twenty thousand?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You know nothing of Mr. Xu’s power!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One bag had caught the eye of two different customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid a dispute, the sales associate standing by asked, \"Ms. Huang, may I ask if you are a member of our store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not a member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao replied, \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. Huang, it’s like this...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sales associate wasn’t a fool; he could tell who the big spender was and who the small fry was at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually took the handbag from Huang Mengyao’s hands and said apologetically, \"Our store has a members-first policy. If you were a member, you would have priority to purchase this bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you are not a member, then according to company policy, this bag must be offered first to Mr. Xu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so you’re not a member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her chance, Ning Qian added fuel to the fire. \"In that case, I’m afraid you’ll just have to part with it and let me have it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you become a member at your store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provoked by Ning Qian, Huang Mengyao said angrily, \"I want to become one right now! I’m definitely buying this bag today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No matter how much face I lose, I can’t lose it in front of my ex-boyfriend!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sales associate explained patiently, \"Ms. Huang, anyone who makes a one-time purchase of over 200,000 yuan can become a member.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Two hundred thousand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t have that much even if you sold her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao’s face flushed red, then went pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pointed at Xu Yun and retorted, \"Don’t tell me he’s made a one-time purchase of over 200,000?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Miss Huang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another sales associate replied, \"The clothes this gentleman just selected are valued at over 200,000 yuan, which meets our store’s membership requirements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you kidding me? You think I don’t know him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Mengyao said contemptuously, \"There’s no way he has that much money to pay for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun smiled, turned to the sales associate, and said lightly, \"Please wrap this up for me. I’ll pay for everything together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Mr. Xu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Huang Mengyao watched in disbelief, the sales associate, holding the handbag, led Xu Yun and Ning Qian to the register.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a minute later, the card was swiped, the payment was successful. The total was 270,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cashier respectfully handed the card back with both hands and said with a smile, \"Mr. Xu, here is your membership card. Please keep it safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Faced with doubt from his ex-girlfriend, the Host chose to Do as You Please, using practical actions to slap her in the face.
