…

Sun Yi led Ye Chen on the shopping trip and stopped when they passed by a store with ‘Armani’ printed on top.

Truth be told, she really wanted to step into the store and get Ye Chen a set of clothes. After all, men had to keep up appearances.

If Ye Chen was dressed in this, it would hinder some people from messing with him. However, she hesitated at the thought of the prices in the store.

After years of working with her tears, sweat, and blood for the Magnificent Group, she purchased a car and an apartment. That did not leave her a lot in her savings. If she bought a set of clothing for Ye Chen from here, then she would truly be broke.

Should they go in? Or no?

Ye Chen noticed Sun Yi’s indecisiveness. He glanced at the store and realized the reason behind her hesitance.

Despite everything that happened, he was once the young master of an influential family in decline. Of course, he recognized the fashion brand, Armani.

On their way here, Sun Yi mentioned that she would pay for everything no matter what. Ye Chen did not doubt that Sun Yi was having an internal debate on whether to get him something from the store.

“Let’s move on. Clothes from this brand aren’t my thing. Oh, look, the Adidas shop next door has an ongoing promotion. I’m quite fond of sportswear; they’re really comfy. Also, we’ve only known each other for a few days. Why are you getting me such expensive things? Are you trying to be my sugar mommy?”

After saying that, Ye Chen took a few steps forward before getting pulled back by Sun Yi.

“But I wanna see what you look like if you dress up in the set on display!”

“That’s not necessary. They just slap on the brand anyway. There are stores selling similar clothes next door…” Ye Chen said with a shrug.

“But…”

As Sun Yi and Ye Chen focused on their argument, a surprised shout came up behind them.

“Sun Yi! Is that you?!”

Sun Yi froze momentarily when she heard the voice. Then, she turned around to see a woman dressed in rather fashionable clothes.

The mood shift was as clear as the sun on Sun Yi’s grimacing face when she saw the woman.

Ye Chen scanned the woman. Although she looked quite attractive, she was several grades inferior when compared to Sun Yi.

Moreover, it was quite the coincidence that Ye Chen recognized the woman too.

She was Ye Chen and Sun Yi’s classmate in senior high—He Qian.

Ye Chen remembered her clearly for several reasons. Other than the fact that He Qian was once Chu Shuran’s supporter, He Qian often found ways to mess with Ye Chen. Insults spilled from her lips like a snake spitting venom—useless Ye, Ye the Useless, or other variations of the same insult.

A tall and good-looking man clad in branded goods was standing next to He Qian. His eyes ogled Sun Yi’s breasts like a greedy beast.

“Sun Yi, I can’t believe it’s you! Why didn’t you attend the high school get-together last year? I heard that you’re currently working at The Magnificent Group? Are you selling beauty products? It’s really hard to earn a decent amount of money selling beauty products nowadays. My advice to you is that you should hurry up and marry yourself off to some rich man. Easy peasy~”

It was hardly possible to miss the haughty undertone in He Qian’s words. Her family was substantially well-off. Even though she might not be of the same social class as Chu Shuran, it was enough for her to show off in front of others.

Moreover, He Qian found out that Sun Yi was from a poor family since high school. Otherwise, there was no reason why Sun Yi had to give up on university after Gaokao and start working.

Sun Yi threw a glance at He Qian without any intention of replying. As she started to pull Ye Chen away, He Qian opened her mouth once more. “Oh, Sun Yi, I haven’t seen you in years. I see that you’ve gotten yourself a boyfriend. But… Your boyfriend looks somewhat mediocre. Other than his pretty face, his taste in clothing… Tsk tsk tsk… I assume he’s just as poor as you.

“Oh well, that’s understandable. The poor from the gutters flock together. Speaking of which, why does your boyfriend look somewhat familiar?”

He Qian’s eyebrows mashed together like she was trying to recall something. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh and laughed. “That’s right! Do you still remember that insignificant trash from the Ye family from five years ago? What a toad that lusted over a swan’s meat! Can’t believe he confessed his love to our dear Chu Shuran! Huh, your boyfriend here kinda looks like that useless Ye. Sadly, the trash died too young, too early. Otherwise, our darling Chu Shuran would enjoy making fun of him more.”

Ye Chen’s expression was piercingly cold. It never occurred to him that after all these years, these insignificant ants still remembered what happened that day.

As he was about to make a move to shut her up, Sun Yi stepped forward and wagged an angry finger at He Qian. She shouted, “He’s gone now! How dare you make fun of a dead person like this? Also, He Qian, don’t make it sound like we’re friends! We hadn’t interacted with each other after graduation!”

With that, Sun Yi dragged Ye Chen into the Armani store!

If she once hovered between the decision to get Ye Chen these clothes, she had no doubts now! She told herself that even if this was a one-way ticket to bankruptcy, she would still buy them!

This was her statement to everyone to prove that she was making her own way in the world!

Just like that, Ye Chen was forcefully dragged into the store.

He Qian and her boyfriend glanced at the store and sneered, “What is a broke-ass person like you doing in Armani? I’d like to see how you shop!”

“Jun, look at how dirty your clothes are. Should we hop in and get a few sets for you?”

He Qian said in a flirtatious manner, holding onto her boyfriend’s arm and shaking it. Her voice was sweet and coquettish, melting down all his defenses.

“Of course, silly. You know my net worth itself is enough to clear everything in this shop. But… Can I get a friend over for some fun tonight? Let’s play that game…” Jun licked his lip, feeling very excited.

A hint of disgust flashed across He Qian’s eyes. However, to please the man before her, she nodded in embarrassment and answered, “You men are so naughty~”

…

In Armani.

Seeing Ye Chen and Sun Yi’s getup, the store attendant seemed somewhat skeptical, but she still attended them politely.

Sun Yi was unfamiliar with men’s fashion too, but when she noticed He Qian and her boyfriend approaching, she frantically pointed to the set of clothing on the display rack and hissed, “Uh… We’ll take the set worn on the display mannequin over there.”

The attendant scratched the back of her head. This was her first encounter with customers like Sun Yi and Ye Chen. They were going to pay without trying the clothes on?

Another contributing factor was that the set of attire on display was of a limited edition. It cost a few hundred thousand.

“Miss, would you like your boyfriend to try it on?” The attendant asked politely.

Hearing the word ‘boyfriend,’ Sun Yi blushed like a tomato. “No… No need. He has almost the same figure as the mannequin. It should fit him like a glove. Wrap them up for me please…”

After she said that, a voice that embodied all misfortune in the world crept up behind her again.

“Ooh, Sun Yi, you’re getting this? I didn’t mishear it, right? Do you know how much this cost? This is the latest design from Master Terence. Don’t let your attempt to protect your ego backfire on you~”

He Qian got on Sun Yi’s nerves like a ghost that would not stop haunting her. At this point, Sun Yi could not care less about how much the clothes cost. She ordered the attendant, “Hurry up and wrap this up for me. We’re kinda in a rush…”

Wasting no time, the attendant brought the clothes to the counter and totaled up the bill. Then, she told Sun Yi with a smile, “Miss, your purchase has exceeded 200 thousand, therefore you’re automatically upgraded to Armani’s premium membership. You can now enjoy a five percent discount on new arrivals. After the discount, your total bill is 390 thousand…”

When the attendant mentioned 390 thousand, Sun Yi’s half extended hand froze in midair. Her bankcard hung limply in her grasp.

The f*ck?

390 thousand for a set of clothes?

What sort of a joke was that? Even luxury items would not cost as much!

Nevertheless, the issue at hand was that at the very most, there were only three hundred thousand bucks in her bank account!
