After Gu Jiaojiao finished all this, she nonchalantly took out her phone and started taking pictures of the clothes and bags around her, posting them on her social media to show off.
In the near future, all these things would belong to her.
Soon, people started liking her posts, praising her as a rich and beautiful woman, and envying her life.
Gu Jiaojiao's vanity was satisfied like never before.
About three to four minutes later, Lin Xingwan finally emerged from the fitting room.
"Is the color of this dress a bit too bright?" Lin Xingwan walked towards the mirror, asking everyone.
The people in the store who had initially ignored her were stunned when their eyes fell on Lin Xingwan.
The red dress fluttered, its ribbons dancing, making her snow-like skin appear even more translucent. Her slender waist, which seemed impossible to grasp, and her soft, long, curly hair, all combined to make her look like a captivating and alluring woman.
At this moment, the phone in Gu Jiaojiao's hand almost dropped to the floor.
She had clearly chosen the ugliest dress in the store for Lin Xingwan, but who would have thought this woman could wear it with such elegance.
She even looked more beautiful than Lin Shirou.
"It suits you quite well, but this dress is still over thirty thousand after the discount. Can you afford it?"
The previously arrogant sales assistant said this to Lin Xingwan again.
Lin Xingwan frowned, looking at the sales assistant in front of her. After being treated with such arrogance time and time again, she no longer wanted to tolerate it.
"Is the job of a sales assistant now to put on a bad attitude? Then why not hire some attractive people to do it?" Lin Xingwan stared coldly at the staff member, her gentle and lovely demeanor from the previous moment replaced by the full aura of a queen.
It was too easy for her to deal with people who judged others by their appearance.
The woman was so angry she could barely speak. "Who did you say isn't good-looking? How can you make personal attacks?"
"I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine. Being polite to you is courtesy; not giving you face is the principle," Lin Xingwan said, her expression remaining indifferent as she saw the woman's flustered state.
Did she think she was Hello Kitty just because a tiger didn't show its fangs?
"What did I say wrong? I can tell at a glance whether you have the ability to purchase or not. If you're not buying, don't waste my time." The woman even rolled her eyes at Lin Xingwan again.
Lin Xingwan's dark eyes were as deep as a pool, but she said to the woman, "You sell luxury goods, so you think you're a luxury item? Or is it because you sell luxury goods that the store is yours?"
The sales assistant's face turned black. She hadn't expected Lin Xingwan to be so sharp with her retorts.
Lin Xingwan walked to a chair and sat down, taking out her bank card from her bag. "I'll take this dress and the ring from earlier."
The sales assistant's expression was extremely unpleasant when she realized Lin Xingwan was actually going to pay.
But she couldn't refuse. Over three hundred thousand yuan—that was a lot of commission for her.
The sales assistant walked over to Lin Xingwan, wanting to take the bank card, but Lin Xingwan threw it on the floor.
She looked at the sales assistant haughtily, a cold smile on her lips.
Everyone knew Lin Xingwan was doing it on purpose. Even Gu Jiaojiao was stunned. Was this woman still the Lin Xingwan she remembered, who endured all their bullying silently?
The entire store fell silent, everyone watching to see how the sales assistant would handle the situation.
The sales assistant slowly bent down, picked up the bank card, then brought over the card machine and handed it to Lin Xingwan.
"Madam, please enter your PIN." The sales assistant's attitude was no longer as arrogant, but her face was filled with defiance and anger.
Lin Xingwan sneered inwardly, apparently, she hadn't taught her enough of a lesson.
"It's too high, how can I enter my PIN?" Lin Xingwan said in a flat tone, her eyes filled with disdain.
The sales assistant bent her legs further.
Lin Xingwan still didn't enter her PIN.
The sales assistant had to squat down.
Lin Xingwan still didn't enter her PIN.
"If you can't afford it, just say so. Why are you messing with me?" The sales assistant became angry, looking quite wronged.
Lin Xingwan simply smiled faintly and beckoned to another sales assistant. "Check out, and the commission will be yours."
That sales assistant quickly came over, holding the card machine with both hands, and asked Lin Xingwan to enter her PIN.
When the machine's cold female voice announced, "Payment successful," the sales assistant who had looked down on Lin Xingwan earlier was incredulous, filled with regret and embarrassment.
Over three hundred thousand yuan—she could have earned three to four thousand in commission, but it had slipped through her fingers like this...
Gu Jiaojiao's eyes widened too. Was this woman Lin Xingwan really that rich? She had spent over three hundred thousand without batting an eye.
Originally, she only intended to swindle this woman out of four to five hundred thousand, but now she had changed her plan. She would aim for at least two million.
"Bring me those two pairs of shoes, I want to see them," Lin Xingwan said lazily. The sales assistant who had looked down on her quickly ran over, bringing five or six pairs of shoes in one go.
"Madam, these are all new arrivals in our store." Her tone was fawning, her attitude respectful, a stark contrast to her previous overbearing demeanor.
Lin Xingwan smiled faintly, her eyes seeming to see through everything.
She lifted her foot, and the sales assistant immediately knelt on the ground, very attentively helping her put on the shoes.
"Your foot shape is perfect. These shoes, paired with this red dress, not only look sexy and alluring but also very classy. You'll definitely turn heads when you walk down the street," the sales assistant praised sincerely, but Lin Xingwan just shook her head.
The sales assistant had to put on another pair of shoes for her.
Lin Xingwan tried them on, but still shook her head.
After repeating this five or six times, seeing the sales assistant become a "kneeling sister" with a look of fear, Lin Xingwan finally said, "I'll take all these pairs of shoes."
The sales assistant was overjoyed. These shoes alone cost over two million yuan, meaning she could earn nearly thirty thousand in commission today!
However, before she could get up to get the card machine, Lin Xingwan said coldly, "Put it under the name of that sales assistant just now."
This sales assistant's emotions broke down. She cried and accused Lin Xingwan, "How can you, a customer, insult people like this?"
"When I treated you like a person, you didn't act like one at all. Now that you don't treat yourself like a person, you ask me why I'm insulting you?" Lin Xingwan said coldly. If she hadn't been greedy for the commission from these shoes, she wouldn't have given others the chance to humiliate her.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit appeared, his face ashen.
The sales assistant, who had been "bullied" to tears by Lin Xingwan, immediately played the victim. "Manager, this customer... this customer is too insulting."
Without a word, the manager slapped the sales assistant and yelled, "I saw everything that just happened on the surveillance. Our store needs sales assistants who serve customers, not despicable people like you who judge others by their appearance."
The sales assistant had shot herself in the foot. Covering the side of her face that had been hit, she stopped crying in fear. "I'm sorry, Manager. I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong."
The manager slapped her again. "Why are you apologizing to me? I don't know how I hired someone like you in the first place. From now on, you are no longer an employee of our store."
The sales assistant burst into tears. She knelt before Lin Xingwan with a 'plop.' "Madam, please say a word for me. I really need this job. I have elderly parents and young children at home who depend on me. I can't lose this job, please! I will never judge people by their appearance again."
Lin Xingwan was unmoved. "You brought this upon yourself."
Soon, security guards dragged the sales assistant out. Gu Jiaojiao started to flatter her, "Sister Xingwan, what you did just now was so cool. You have to be ruthless with people like that."
Lin Xingwan remained silent, but Gu Jiaojiao spoke again, "This necklace is also beautiful. I want to try it on."
The manager quickly ordered other sales assistants, "Hurry and bring that necklace here."
Soon, Gu Jiaojiao was wearing the necklace around her neck.
Then came earrings, bracelets, rings...
Gu Jiaojiao looked at her bejeweled reflection in the mirror, imagining herself wearing this set of jewelry at a party, dazzling everyone.
"Sister Xingwan, does this outfit I've put together look good?" Gu Jiaojiao asked.
"It looks very good."
Each individual piece was fine, but when put together, it gave off a vulgar, nouveau riche vibe, like a butcher wearing a gold necklace.
Gu Jiaojiao was overjoyed. "Since that's the case, I'll take it all. I also picked out a jade bracelet for my mother and a white jade thumb ring for my father."
"You are so filial. Your parents will be very happy," Lin Xingwan praised again.
Soon, the sales assistant packed up everything Gu Jiaojiao wanted and respectfully handed her the card machine. "Madam, please swipe your card."
Gu Jiaojiao was stunned. Why wasn't Lin Xingwan rushing to pay?
She couldn't help but act spoiled. "Sister Xingwan..."
After speaking, she glanced at the card machine, indicating for Lin Xingwan to swipe her card.
Lin Xingwan asked, "What's wrong?"
"These clothes are all packed," Gu Jiaojiao said, glancing at the card machine again.
"Yes, they are all packed. Please check if anything is missing. If not, then pay, so we can go to the next store."
Lin Xingwan urged her, showing no intention of paying for Gu Jiaojiao.
Gu Jiaojiao was almost infuriated by Lin Xingwan's words. She unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress and said again, "Can you pay for me? Consider these as a gift from you to me. I also gave you a gift today."
Lin Xingwan blinked, her face full of surprise. She asked in a bewildered voice, "So you gave me a Dior 999 lipstick because you wanted me to give you these things?"
How expensive was Dior 999?
How expensive were these things?
For a moment, the staff in the store and other customers all cast disdainful glances at Gu Jiaojiao.
"Isn't that too shameless? Giving someone something worth a few hundred yuan, but expecting them to return a gift worth millions? Eat more pig brains, they say you are what you eat."
"The Great Wall isn't as thick-skinned as her. She looks quite creative and lives quite courageously."
"This woman is too scheming. I always thought schemers had to be good-looking, but she gives me the impression of being ugly and playing dirty."
Gu Jiaojiao, who lacked ability but was extremely proud, felt her cheeks burning as she was spoken about so publicly.
"Sister Xingwan, don't listen to their instigation. I treat you like my own sister, that's why I'm like this," Gu Jiaojiao explained anxiously to Lin Xingwan.
Lin Xingwan smiled gently. Before she could say anything, someone sarcastically remarked, "You treat her like a sucker, that's why you're like this, right? Even if she were your own sister, what kind of sister would cheat her like this? You're not that young anymore, why can't you earn money yourself to buy things?"
Gu Jiaojiao's petty intentions were exposed. Her expression looked worse than crying.
"I didn't, I really didn't. Sister Xingwan, you have to believe me, I'm not that kind of person." Gu Jiaojiao frantically denied it, inwardly hating these meddling people.
Lin Xingwan looked encouragingly. "I believe you're not that kind of person, Jiaojiao. Pay the money and slap their faces."
Gu Jiaojiao's face turned pale at Lin Xingwan's words.
Where would she get over two million yuan? This sum was enough for two or three years of her allowance.
"If you can't afford it, take off everything you're wearing and wearing, otherwise, after wearing it for too long, it will have a cheap smell, and other customers won't buy. I've seen plenty of gold-diggers like you who can't afford things but deliberately take pictures and post them on social media."
The manager began to mock Gu Jiaojiao. Of course, he did this because a certain influential person had arranged it.
In short: the more miserable this woman was, the happier that influential person would be.
"You're the one who can't afford it, and you have the cheap smell! If you treat customers like this, believe it or not, I'll call your boss and complain."
Gu Jiaojiao also used Lin Xingwan's words to threaten the manager. However, the manager laughed heartily. "My boss's phone number is posted on the counter. If you have the guts, call him now. I beg you to let the boss punish me and fire me!"
The manager's words made Gu Jiaojiao's eyes well up with tears. She tugged at Lin Xingwan's arm and said pitifully, "Sister Xingwan, they're looking down on me too much. My money is on another card. Can you pay for me first? I'll transfer it to you immediately when I get back."
"Look at your ugly, greedy face. You say you can afford it, but then you beg others to pay for you. You're truly a hypocrite who wants it both ways." The manager then changed his expression and respectfully said to Lin Xingwan, "Madam, this kind of person is clearly someone who borrows without intending to repay. You need to be careful. It's easy to borrow money, but hard to get it back. If she truly forgets to bring the money, let her family send it over."
Lin Xingwan heard this and also said with a troubled expression, "Jiaojiao, you borrowed hundreds of thousands from me before and never paid me back..."
Gu Jiaojiao was struck by lightning on the spot.
Why was the whole world against her?
"Sister Xingwan, you won't even help me with such a small favor. I finally understand why my brother didn't want you. With your stinginess and malice, what man would want you?"
Gu Jiaojiao looked at Lin Xingwan with disappointment, her expression deeply hurt.
Just then, a steady and powerful round of applause echoed, drawing everyone's attention to the store entrance.
