177 Only a Few Hundred Thousand Yuan
“Mom, this one’s not bad. Go try it on.” Su Yuan brought her mother to a display window and pointed at a white dress on a model.
They were on the first floor of the mall, where luxury brands were sold. These luxury stores were luxuriously decorated. The glass was spotless, and the salespeople were cold and aloof, which gave people a visual shock.
She could shop however she wanted, but if she really had to try, Su Qiumeng’s face revealed an awkward and uneasy expression. After they moved into the house, Mo Ting asked Aunt Du to give her a few sets of clothing, but Su Qiumeng had never worn a single one.
Back at the nursing home, she had once asked Mo Ting, “How sincere are you?” Afterward, Mo Ting had a private conversation with her and said, “Aunt, words are not proof. You can take your time to read it.”
So, she had been observing Mo Ting. Of course, she could not use the things he gave her. Today, she was wearing the clothes she had made when she lived in the countryside. She had spent a lot of money on this piece of fabric. She wanted to make a decent dress so that she would not embarrass her daughter when she went to see her at school after she was admitted to college. However, it seemed that the floral dress he was wearing had embarrassed his daughter.
Anyone with eyes could see the shabbiness that exuded from her. The difference between living in the countryside and trying out was like a fishbone stuck in Su Qiumeng’s throat. She regretted it. She should have known that her daughter was no longer the girl who lived with her in the countryside. She should not have come today. In the future, she would never walk with her daughter like today. She knew that people in the city had a deep prejudice against people from the countryside. Little Yuan’s classmates and friends were all from the city. If they were to see her, a mother from the countryside, they would laugh at her and ostracize her!
Before Su Qiumeng could refuse, Su Yuan had already led her into the store, holding her arm. She even openly admitted to the salesperson that her mother wanted to try on the dress in the display window.
These luxury goods sellers were usually very arrogant and were very skilled at judging people’s dishes. They could tell at a glance whether a customer had money and how much they could spend. They had already noticed the two of them when they stopped at the door.
The girl looked absolutely plain. She was wearing a white dress and a pair of shoes without a brand. The middle-aged woman next to her was even more outrageous. What kind of clothes were they wearing? It was as if she was wearing the floral bedsheets from fifty years ago! Since when could such people enter luxury stores?
The staff did not seem to have heard Su Yuan’s words. They did not even look at the two of them and continued to do what they were doing, leaving the two of them in the air. It was as if they were not people, but air.
Su Yuan did not pay much attention to it. Her gaze swept across the staff and finally landed on the slightly older staff. She walked to her side and repeated, “Hello, the white dress in the display window. Please get me a size that my mother can wear.”
The store manager was tidying up her clothes. She didn’t even lift her eyes and coldly said, “That’s our limited edition. It’s very expensive and not everyone can try it on.”
“How expensive is it?”
Hearing that, the store manager looked at Su Yuan in confusion and sized her up again. After confirming that her previous judgment was correct, she said sarcastically, “Five-digit numbers for the blue dress and six-digit numbers for the one in white.”
Su Yuan’s expression was normal after she heard that. “Please get the white one, thank you.”
The store manager was stunned, and the other staff looked at her in surprise when they heard her words. The store fell into a strange silence.
It was the store manager who came back to her senses first and said, “Miss, the dress in the display window is our limited edition. There are two colors in total. The blue one is slightly cheaper, costing more than 80000 Yuan. There are only two white ones in the entire country. The other one has been sold for 176000 Yuan.
When the store manager quoted the price, she was afraid that Su Yuan could not hear her clearly, so she deliberately emphasized the number.
Su Yuan helped her mother to the sofa and said without hesitation, “I know. It’s only a few hundred thousand. Let my mom try it.” Then, under the store manager’s shocked gaze, she pointed to a pair of shoes on the display cabinet. “That pair of shoes, give me the size 35 one.”
All the employees in the store were stunned by Su Yuan’s calm expression.
At that moment, a handsome male shop assistant suddenly walked up and politely said to Su Yuan, “Hello, miss. This pair of shoes is a limited edition co-signed by our brand and brand O. The price is slightly higher, it’s also six figures. Also, it’s not a size 35.”
Su Yuan looked disappointed. “Then please get me a size 36. I’ll try.”
“No problem, miss. Please wait a moment.” The male shop assistant went straight to the storeroom.
At the same time, the store manager had already brought the white dress over.
