Li Fangyuan’s eyes widened, his mouth agape.
It wasn't just the two of them; even the store clerk wore an expression of astonishment, confirming again, "Miss, are you sure you want to buy two identical jade bracelets from Wen Xinyu?"
"Yes, didn't you say there were only these two jade bracelets from Wen Xinyu in the entire Jiangcheng? Two items at a 77% discount?"
"Such good quality, I'll buy two."
Su Ding said lightly, buying two wasn't for her to wear. One would be for her grandmother, and the other for Jin Ye's mother.
Although Mother Jin still treated her with indifference, she had to fulfill the courtesies. It wasn't about being overly eager, but after all, they were family.
The clerk, confirming Su Ding intended to buy two jade bracelets worth two million, sounded even more exultant!
"Alright, I'll contact the store in the main city to have the other one delivered."
"Those two, with the 77% discount, come to three million and eighty thousand. Please swipe your card here."
Su Ding tapped her card on the payment machine. Payment successful!
Three million and eighty thousand!
She had just casually swiped her card! And bought two jade bracelets at that?!
Shao Zhengkang was both enraged and furious, and even more jealous. How could she have so much money? She must have earned it by selling herself, right?
"Looks like your sugar daddy gave you a hefty breakup fee."
"Don't come back to the Shao family begging for money when it's all spent, hmph!"
These words immediately brought back memories for Su Ding of when her mother urgently needed surgery, and she had begged all her relatives in the Shao family for money, only to be rejected by everyone.
Her expression instantly turned cold. She said lightly, "Shao Zhengkang, can't afford the bracelets, why are you so sour? You don't even have seventy thousand, how dare you be afraid I'll borrow money from you in the future? Dreaming?"
Su Ding didn't hold back at all, leaving Shao Zhengkang speechless.
Although he was her uncle by blood, to her, he was merely a familiar stranger.
"Who says we don't even have seventy thousand? I... we..."
Li Fangyuan, seeing Shao Zhengkang being scolded, felt like he was being implicated too. Angrily, he wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by a sullen Shao Zhengkang.
Today was truly humiliating! Su Ding, you just wait!
Seeing the two leave, Su Ding asked the clerk to nicely package the jade bracelets and then drove away.
The banquet was to start in the evening.
Su Ding went home for lunch, and after a nap, she met Xin Jiaer and rented the shop on the spot.
"The young man at the store this morning, Wen Yang, was previously the lobby manager at a fast-food restaurant."
"If you think he's good, you can keep him to help you."
Xin Jiaer said with a grin, looking quite cheerful.
Su Ding also had a good impression of the young man and nodded.
"Yes, let's have him stay. I can't manage the renovation, publicity, and recruitment alone."
After discussing the shop, the two chatted about other things.
Xin Jiaer unconsciously brought up Xue Zhi Qiao, her face filled with happiness. "That guy gave me a necklace yesterday and apologized, saying he wouldn't be so domineering anymore."
Su Ding smiled faintly, Xue Zhi Qiao was definitely gifted in charming girls.
"Oh, he's been a bit busy these past few days, and asked me to tell you that we should have dinner together when I have time, in my boyfriend's name." Xin Jiaer said, her eyes sparkling.
"Wow, congratulations, congratulations."
Su Ding smiled and said, "You two are really a good match. By the way, does your dad know about you two? What does he say?"
Xin Jiaer sighed, looking a bit dejected. "He knows, but he won't let me marry just anyone this time. He wants to evaluate Zhi Qiao further."
Su Ding understood Xin's father's concerns. Jiaer was innocent and cheerful, and he was indeed afraid of her being deceived by another scumbag.
"Well, slow and steady wins the race. Dating is the sweetest time, after all."
She also recalled when she first met Jin Ye, how come it felt like they didn't date for long before inexplicably getting married.
And then all sorts of messy things happened after they got married.
If they had dated for a longer period, perhaps they wouldn't have reached such a stalemate when Shao Lin intervened.
"A strong foundation for dating is very important!" Su Ding declared with the wisdom of experience.
"Hahaha, I know! Although I really want to get married and have babies, I want my dad's blessing even more~"
Xin Jiaer said sweetly.
At six in the evening, Su Ding got up to say goodbye to Xin Jiaer.
She called Jin Ye to explain the situation for tonight, then drove directly to Madam Shao's residence.
She had a feeling tonight would be quite exciting.
