Free Web NovelChapter 25: Chapter 19: If You Can’t Refuse, Just Lie Down and Accept
We’ll take them all!!!
The sales associate glanced at Zhong Mufeng in disbelief. Seeing the same shock on her face, she turned a skeptical eye back to Jiang Li. "Ma’am, are you certain?"
After all, the total for all those items would be in the millions, and that wasn’t even counting the fact that they wanted two of each.
Jiang Li didn’t answer the associate’s question directly. Instead, she said, "I’m a size 36, and she’s a 37."
"Also, put together two complete outfits for us from the clothes we chose—something that suits our style. We’ll wear them out of the store."
Zhong Mufeng quickly tugged on Jiang Li’s sleeve and whispered, "Wait, are you really buying all this?"
She had glanced at the prices while they were browsing the styles earlier.
She didn’t know exactly which items Jiang Li had picked, but she knew that buying all of them would cost a fortune.
’Even with the ten million Shen Yanzhi transferred to her, Jiang Li already spent over five million on bags. There’s no way she has enough left!’
Jiang Li didn’t answer, simply giving the back of Zhong Mufeng’s hand a reassuring pat.
The sales associate, however, suppressed her excitement and replied, "And will you be needing any bags or jewelry?"
"We’ll skip the bags. Just pick out a matching set of jewelry—nothing too flashy."
Upon hearing this, the associate immediately calculated the total on her iPad. She looked at Jiang Li enthusiastically and said, "Ma’am, your total comes to 16.59 million. How will you be paying?"
She had figured it out. Even though Zhong Mufeng was carrying a Hermes bag, Jiang Li was the one calling the shots.
Jiang Li pulled out her phone. "Alipay."
Zhong Mufeng gulped, feeling like she could no longer figure Jiang Li out.
’Over ten million, but to Jiang Li, it was as if she were spending just over a thousand.’
The VIP room had its own POS machine. The associate entered the amount, and as Jiang Li scanned the code, Zhong Mufeng covered her eyes.
She couldn’t bear to watch.
As the receipt printed out, the associate respectfully handed it over. "Ma’am, could you please sign here?"
"Additionally, since your purchase exceeded ten million, you are now one of Chanel’s top VICs. You’ll enjoy privileges like priority access to rare leathers, private customization, use of our private spaces, invitations to exclusive events, and dedicated service."
The associate took the signed receipt from Jiang Li, picked up the iPad she had set aside, did something on it, and then handed it to Jiang Li. "If you could just enter your information here, we also send a small gift for your birthday."
Jiang Li passed the iPad to Zhong Mufeng, who was still staring blankly into space. "You put your information in."
’If she wanted a Chanel membership, she could get one in minutes.’
If the sales associate hadn’t been there, Zhong Mufeng felt like she might have dropped to her knees and begged Jiang Li to be her godmother.
’What did I ever do to deserve being best friends with Jiang Li!’
With trembling hands, she took the iPad, entered her information, and handed it back to the associate.
Jiang Li picked up her milk tea from the coffee table and took a sip. Then, as if remembering something, she instructed, "Except for the two outfits we’re wearing out, have all the rest delivered."
The associate nodded. "Of course. We’ll just need an address from each of you."
After both women left their addresses, the associate suppressed her excitement and bowed her head. "Ladies, please wait just a moment. I’ll go get your outfits ready now!"
The moment the associate left, Zhong Mufeng grabbed Jiang Li’s face with both hands and said fiercely, "Talk! What else are you hiding from me?!"
Jiang Li blinked innocently. "Nothing else."
Zhong Mufeng tutted in amazement. "I’ve always dreamed of finding a sugar mommy to take care of me. I just never thought she’d be right here beside me all along."
With that, she flopped onto Jiang Li’s lap, propped her chin on her hands, and looked up at her with a fawning expression. "Sugar mommy, please take care of me!"
Jiang Li raised an eyebrow. "Let’s hear some flattery first."
"You’re the most beautiful fairy in the entire world! Everyone who sees you loves you, flowers bloom in your presence, and car tires burst at the sight of you. If this world didn’t have you..."
Before Zhong Mufeng could finish, Jiang Li placed a finger on her lips to stop her. She cleared her throat, her face flushing as she said, "Haven’t you always wanted to buy a house? We happen to have some time now. Let’s go pick one out later."
Zhong Mufeng shot upright at her words. "Wait," she said, stunned. "I was just running my mouth. You’re actually going to keep me?"
She swore she had only been kidding.
Jiang Li touched her earlobes, which were turning red. "It’s not about ’keeping’ you, but I can afford a house worth a few million."
’I just asked Zhong Mufeng for a little flattery, but I didn’t think she’d lay it on so thick. It’s actually a bit embarrassing,’ she thought.
’Since I have the money now, and she’s my best friend, I should definitely help her fulfill her dream of buying a house.’
They had even fantasized about buying apartments across the hall from each other so they could freeload food and drinks.
Besides, she had sponged off Zhong Mufeng plenty over the past few years. A drop of kindness, as they say, should be repaid with a gushing spring.
At the very least, she had to buy her a house.
Zhong Mufeng tutted and asked suspiciously, "Wait a minute. Did you hit the jackpot right after marrying Shen or something?"
Jiang Li’s family supermarket was profitable, but she’d spent most of her money on Zhao Sinian over the years. She never had much cash on hand, which was why she was always sponging off her.
Jiang Li smiled. "Don’t worry, it’s all completely above board."
Seeing that Jiang Li didn’t look like she was joking at all, Zhong Mufeng pressed again, "Wait, you’re not kidding? You’re really buying one?"
Jiang Li nodded. "Really buying one."
Zhong Mufeng patted her chest and swore, "Don’t you worry. Your and Shen’s future child will be my godchild, and I’ll be your most loyal servant!"
"If you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west. If you tell me to stand, I’ll never sit. I’d climb a mountain of knives or dive into a sea of fire for you without hesitation!"
Jiang Li always did what she said she would. If she said she was going to buy a house, she was going to buy a house.
Since there was no refusing, she might as well just lie back and accept it.
As for feeling ashamed... who cared about that when your best friend was a sugar mommy?
With the thought of buying a house, when the associate returned with their new outfits, Jiang Li added her on WeChat. "The delivery address might change later, so please hold off on sending everything for now."
The associate smiled broadly. "Of course, no problem at all. You can just let me know the new address on WeChat when you have it."
’Forget changing the address,’ she thought, ’I’d personally deliver it to their doorstep if they asked.’
On a sale of over ten million, her commission alone would be in the six figures.
The two of them changed into their new clothes and hailed a taxi to a real estate sales center.
In the car, Jiang Li contacted Liu Bo. She gave him her requirements and told him to find some suitable floor plans so that when they arrived at the sales center, she could buy one on the spot if she liked it.
When Jiang Li hung up, Zhong Mufeng couldn’t help but marvel, "Girl, I feel like you’ve become a completely different person since leaving that scumbag."
Jiang Li nodded in satisfaction. "It’s called being reborn."
’I should really thank Zhao Sinian for the ’favor’ of not marrying me,’ she thought. ’Otherwise, how would I have ever married the man I like and gotten this tycoon system?’
Zhong Mufeng said with some regret, "It’s a shame we have that class reunion later. Otherwise, we’d definitely have to go to a bar for a couple of drinks to celebrate you."
Jiang Li smiled. "That’s a small problem. Once the house is bought, we can just drink at home."
Infected by Jiang Li’s smile, Zhong Mufeng declared with playful arrogance, "In that case, I’m going to drink the expensive stuff!"
