Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 735: Chapter 728: Spicing Up Married Life

The mall sells luxury items, easily worth thousands. Even the cheapest ones cost several hundred. Zhang Jie fancied a white silk nightgown, but when she saw the tag reading 688, she immediately retracted her hand and turned to leave without a second thought.

A nightgown that weighs less than a couple of ounces, thinner than paper, and costs 688—this is daylight robbery!

Zhang Jie turned around, so she didn’t see the slightly disdainful look on the faces of the two female sales assistants inside the store, probably mocking Zhang Jie for overestimating herself!

However, Sisi found it a bit glaring. Among the three of them, Zhang Jie was the least financially capable. Though she was much better off than the average person, the Lei and Zhang families were both accustomed to frugality and thriftiness, so Zhang Jie was the same, always choosing practical and affordable options.

But in such a blatantly ostentatious mall, there are no practical and affordable goods.

The behavior of the two sales assistants was typical enough, but it still made Sisi unhappy. Zhang Jie wasn’t without the opportunity to make money. To put it bluntly, with the power of the Lei and Zhang families, there are plenty of people eager to give them money. However, the old heads at the Lei and Zhang families set down long ago a strict household rule that anyone caught accepting ill-gotten wealth would be dealt with by the elders before the authorities could intervene.

The old folk’s words were as solid as a nail, and they always meant what they said. That’s why the members of the Zhang and Lei families are very upright and live quite plainly.

Zhang Jie’s car was bought because she earned double wages at Green Home, and even then, it was just a small Xiali. The old folks nagged about it for quite some time!

This was also why Sisi wanted Zhang Jie to join her in running a tutoring class, to give her more financial confidence!

Just like now!

She stepped forward and pulled Zhang Jie back, smiling, "Wait a minute, I’m also planning to get a nightgown. Come help me pick one."

Zhang Jie initially wanted to persuade Sisi not to buy it, but considering that money wasn’t an issue for Sisi’s household, she kept quiet.

Today, Sisi was dressed very casually, with jeans and a high-necked sweater, looking just like a college student, vibrant and youthful, though it did lack a little bit of the wealthy flair.

Shangguan wasn’t really interested in clothes that looked like you weren’t wearing anything, but since Sisi insisted, she reluctantly agreed to have a look.

When the two sales assistants saw Sisi and Zhang Jie coming together, their eager smiles immediately faded.

Birds of a feather flock together; a pauper’s friend is naturally also a pauper!

Looking at their attire, they didn’t resemble rich people at all, not even wearing any jewelry, looking like destitute souls!

Sisi sneered: My jewelry is piled high in the Space, it’s called low-key luxury, got it?

As for Shangguan and Zhang Jie, they simply didn’t like wearing cumbersome jewelry, finding it inconvenient to move around. Compared to chains and bracelets, they preferred playing with swords and guns.

Despite their disdain, the two sales assistants still maintained their professionalism. They turned their backs to Sisi and her friends to play rock-paper-scissors, and the defeated one, with an oval face, had no choice but to stand up with a professional smile and attended to Sisi and her friends.

This improved Sisi’s impression of them quite a bit; even though they were a bit snobbish, they still had a kind nature at heart. Sisi immediately gave up the idea of humiliating the two sales assistants, who, still unaware, were saved from disaster due to their professionalism.

Top-notch people are rare in the world, indeed. Thinking of past lives reading novels, the female protagonist dressing low-key going to a high-end mall would always encounter an ultimate sales assistant who, following a dramatic scene, would have the manager offer apologizes and discounts.

In the end, that top-notch sales assistant would definitely get fired.

Thinking about it, Sisi couldn’t help but laugh. Since being top-notch has a ’top’ in it, it must be a rare species, hardly something you encounter everywhere!

"Ladies, all these nightgowns are designed by top domestic designers, made with the finest silk, light and comfortable to wear, enhancing intimacy between couples," the oval-faced sales assistant introduced professionally, like reciting from a book, somewhat stiffly. She likely wasn’t expecting this sale to go through, only avoiding complaints to prevent losing money.

Zhang Jie’s cheeks turned crimson at the mention of enhancing intimacy between couples. Today’s young women dare say anything!

Sisi paid no mind; what’s the big deal about this? In another ten years, some celebrities, to grab eyeballs, would stage deep plunges, exposing this and that, posing provocatively for photos. Compared to that, this is as pure as can be.

She reached out to feel it; it indeed had a nice texture, cool and refreshing to the touch, genuinely nice!

"Feifei, let’s each pick one—it’ll be my gift to Yang Shu and Gangzi!" Sisi smiled and said.

Shangguan and Zhang Jie didn’t catch on at first; realizing later, they pinched Sisi’s waist in mock annoyance.

Sisi dodged and begged for mercy, "I didn’t say anything wrong. Wearing this is for Yang Shu and Gangzi, right?"

"You’re incorrigible! Your mouth is getting worse. Tian Xinhua will need to straighten you out!" Zhang Jie pretended to cover Sisi’s mouth, finding it unbearable to discuss marital secrets in public.

Sisi wasn’t fazed, remaining calm: "What’s to be shy about? There are no men here. Hurry and pick; it’s rare that I’m willing to splurge today; the offer is time-limited!"

"I think I’ll pass; it’s embarrassing to wear this,"

Zhang Jie hesitated, secretly yearning for these sexy nighties but held back by conservative beliefs and not wanting Sisi to spend too much.

Shangguan, on the other hand, turned her head directly, ignoring Sisi, and sat back down.

"Oh come on, stop dithering! If you don’t pick, I’ll pick the skimpiest one for you!" Sisi deliberately reached for the most revealing nightgown.

Sure enough, Zhang Jie panicked and quickly said, "Then I’ll choose the one I liked earlier."

Sisi smiled triumphantly and pointed at the white nightgown, telling the oval-faced girl, "Miss, please find a suitable size in this style for my friend to try on."

The oval-faced girl wanted to say, if you’re not buying, why try? But recalling the strict mall regulations, she had no choice but to suppress her annoyance, picking a petite-sized nightgown in the same style from the shelf and leading Zhang Jie to the fitting room.

Sisi then picked a black strappy short nightgown for herself and also grabbed a black nightgown of the same style for Shangguan. With her fair skin, Shangguan in black would surely be enticing!

Imagining Shushu’s rampant wolfishness at night, Sisi couldn’t help but chuckle!

Yang Shu, Yang Shu, a big gift for you, don’t enjoy it too much!

At home, Yang Shu, playing the househusband, suddenly felt his ears warming.

Who’s talking about me?

Could it be that Feifei is coming home soon?

Better hurry with the stew; after a long shopping trip, Feifei must be starving!
