~8 min read 1,491 words

Ye Xinyu looked bewildered; hadn't things fallen apart just a moment ago? How could the loan possibly have been approved?

"Wife, let's go," Chen Yu said as he walked over.

"Husband, was it you who got the loan approved?" Ye Xinyu asked.

"That's right. I reasoned with him, and he released the funds," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"But someone like Wu Hui is no good. Does he have ulterior motives?"

"Don't worry, he won't be appearing in the banking system from now on," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Xinyu!" Just then, a woman ran over; she was Ye Xinyu's best friend, Xu Siying.

"Siying, you're here," Ye Xinyu said happily.

"Didn't we agree to go to the mall together? I got off work early. So? The loan was approved, right? I was right to introduce you to him, wasn't I?" Xu Siying said, looking excited.

"Ah... it's quite good." Ye Xinyu didn't want to speak ill of Wu Hui to her face, so she turned her head and said, "Husband, I'm going to the mall with Siying."

"Hmph, you surnamed Chen, what are you doing here?" Xu Siying's face sank the moment she saw Chen Yu.

Although the two had been in less contact since Ye Xinyu married, she had still heard that Chen Yu was a gambler and that her best friend had suffered a lot by his side.

"Why can't I be here?" Chen Yu looked bewildered. This was his first time seeing this woman; why did she have such strong hostility toward him?

"If you had any humanity, you'd divorce Xinyu immediately. Why must you drag her down? Don't you have any self-awareness about what kind of person you are?" Xu Siying said angrily.

"Are you sick?" Chen Yu was furious. This woman started inciting others to divorce the moment she arrived; which part of her brain was malfunctioning?

"You're the one who's sick! Chen Yu, do you have any humanity? Your wife is already pregnant, and she's still working while carrying a child to support you? Are you even human?" Xu Siying roared in a rage.

"Alright, Siying, my husband is different from before. Don't look at him with your old perspective. Let's go," Ye Xinyu said, hurriedly trying to stop her.

"So what if he's different? He's destined to be someone at the bottom of society. He can't even afford to buy you a decent piece of clothing, and he can't even afford to treat you to a decent meal. I really don't understand why you're still with him," Xu Siying said, glancing at Chen Yu.

"How do you know I can't afford it?" Chen Yu frowned. Honestly, he didn't understand why Ye Xinyu would have a friend like this.

"Fine then. The Shiyuan Mall ahead is the most high-end mall in Fengling. To prove you're good to Xinyu, you'll accompany us to shop there today. Do you dare?" Xu Siying said with a look of disdain.

"What's the big deal? Isn't it only natural for me to accompany my wife shopping?" Chen Yu sneered.

"No need, Husband. You go be busy," Ye Xinyu said hurriedly.

"Busy with what? Busy gambling and whoring? Let's go. Today, I'll let you see this man's true colors." Without waiting for an answer, Xu Siying grabbed Ye Xinyu and walked off.

Shiyuan Mall was indeed the most high-end mall in Fengling. It was divided into several zones, covered a massive area, and had a unique exterior; it was a landmark building in Fengling. It housed the world's major luxury brands, and every second spent inside felt like burning Renminbi.

"Xinyu, look at this bag of yours; it was bought at a street stall, right? I don't think it's even worth two hundred yuan. Throw it away and buy a new one." Xu Siying glanced at Chen Yu and pulled Ye Xinyu directly into the LV boutique.

"What are you doing, Siying? Things here are very expensive," Ye Xinyu resisted.

"Expensive is the point. Otherwise, how can we show whether your husband's heart for you is true?" Xu Siying sneered, pointed at a handbag, and said to the sales assistant, "Take this down for me to see."

"I'm sorry, Miss. This is a limited edition from our ARTYCAPUCINES collection; it can only be viewed in the display case," a sales assistant said apologetically.

"I'm a regular customer here. This is my membership card." Xu Siying took a card out of her bag: "As your member, surely I have at least this much privilege?"

"Ah, you are a Samsung Member. Of course, you have this privilege. Please wait a moment; I will take the bag out immediately." The sales assistant immediately changed her attitude. Xu Siying's membership card required at least several hundred thousand in spending to obtain.

"See that? You have to spend several hundred thousand here to get this card. Chen Yu, a friendly reminder: this bag is a limited edition, and it's very expensive."

Xu Siying said with a haughty look: "If you want to say you can't afford it, now is still the time."

"No need to look at it. Just wrap it up," Chen Yu said, not even bothering to lift his eyelids.

"Heh, aren't you going to check the price? Waiter, introduce it to him," Xu Siying sneered: "Lest you be unable to pay and make a fool of yourself."

"Sir, this ARTYCAPUCINES model is one of our brand's high-end products. The material is cotton, linen, and jacquard canvas, with calfskin trim..." the sales assistant began to introduce it to Chen Yu.

"Alright, no need for introductions. Just swipe the card," Chen Yu said, taking out a card.

"Sir, this bag is a limited edition, and the price is 138,000." The sales assistant reminded him. Looking at Chen Yu's attire, he didn't look like someone who could afford this bag at all.

"I said, swipe the card," Chen Yu frowned.

"Haha, Chen Yu, don't embarrass yourself. Can you even swipe ten thousand yuan from that card? Let me remind you, credit cards aren't accepted here." Xu Siying was laughing to death; she believed Chen Yu was just bluffing.

"Are you going to swipe it or not? If not, I'm leaving." Seeing the sales assistant's hesitation, Chen Yu couldn't help but get angry.

"Ah, Sir, please don't be angry. I'll do it right away." The sales assistant finally reacted and hurriedly took Chen Yu's card.

"The password is six sixes," Chen Yu said.

"Haha, you're really going to swipe it? If he can swipe ten thousand yuan from that card, I'll lose. Chen Yu, is it really that hard to bow your head and admit you're poor? Are you sure you really want to go and ask for humiliation?" Xu Siying laughed loudly.

"Wait," Chen Yu called out to the sales assistant.

"That's more like it. You have to admit when you're poor," Xu Siying laughed loudly.

"Wife, I've never taken you shopping, and this is the first time we've come to a store like this. How about this: everything in the store that you can use, let's get one of each," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Chen Yu, have you lost your mind?" The smile on Xu Siying's face instantly stiffened: "One of each? I wouldn't even dare to spend like that. Who do you think you are?"

"And who are you? Your parents are just ordinary people, and you're just a small clerk at a bank. Don't you have any self-awareness about where the hundreds of thousands you spend in this store come from?"

Chen Yu retorted: "Besides, I'm buying things for my wife. If I can afford it, I'll buy it. If I can't, I won't puff myself up to look bigger than I am."

"You..." Xu Siying was left speechless by Chen Yu's retort.

"No, Husband, let's go. How much would that cost?" Ye Xinyu pulled Chen Yu desperately, wanting to leave.

"Don't worry about how much it costs. We aren't leaving until we've bought everything today," Chen Yu said in a commanding tone, but his voice was filled with Care.

"But it's really too expensive."

"It's not expensive. Go look, be a good girl," Chen Yu smiled slightly. Under his insistence, Ye Xinyu finally relented.

And so, after spending a long time picking out clothes, shoes, watches, jewelry, and perfume, these items were finally all selected.

"Sir, the total for the items you've selected is 1.36 million." The sales assistant handed over the bill cautiously, fearing that Chen Yu was just putting on a show and would refuse to buy after picking things out for so long.

"Swipe the card," Chen Yu said with a wave of his hand.

"Alright, Sir, please wait a moment." The sales assistant hurried off to swipe the card.

"Keep pretending. Let's see how long you can keep it up," Xu Siying sneered, convinced that there was no money on Chen Yu's card.
