"Brother Xu, we understand."
"Brother Xu, this isn't our fault. It's all because Lin Siqi saw how handsome that young man was, and she dragged us into this with him!"
The two female store clerks weren't particularly attractive, but as they spoke to Xu Qiang, they still adopted a coquettish demeanor.
One of them even winked at Ling Feng, sending him a flirtatious glance.
Lin Siqi became even more flustered. She turned to Ling Feng and said urgently, "Ling Feng, I'm sorry. I've implicated you today. Please leave quickly."
"I won't leave like this!"
Ling Feng's resolute words came out. He then reached out, grabbed Lin Siqi's fragrant shoulders, and pulled her behind him.
Lin Siqi looked at the broad, strong back in front of her, her pretty face flushing red as she froze on the spot.
Seeing Ling Feng "getting handsy" with Lin Siqi, Xu Qiang grew even more furious. Frowning and glaring, he was about to rush forward and teach Ling Feng a lesson.
But Ling Feng didn't give him a chance to speak. He directly took out a card and said, "Didn't you say I couldn't afford the clothes here? Now, pack up all the clothes on this rack for me!"
Xu Qiang was stunned as he looked at the bank card presented to him.
The two female clerks beside him instantly burst into laughter.
"Haha, handsome young man, you shouldn't brag like that. Do you know how much this entire row of clothes on the rack costs?"
"Oh my, you look so handsome taking out that card, but can you imagine how ugly you'll look when it fails to go through later?"
As the two female clerks' laughter subsided, the onlookers began to discuss.
"Is it worth it to act like this for a female sales associate?"
"Tsk, this young man is too impulsive. This store sells branded goods. One piece of clothing is at least one to two thousand, so this whole row must be over a hundred thousand, right?"
"Look at what he's wearing. So shabby, yet he's here buying designer menswear. How embarrassing."
"Haha, everyone, don't leave! Let's see how he gets thrown out later!"
...
As the surrounding noise grew louder, Lin Siqi's heart became even more anxious.
Others might not know, but she was very clear that Ling Feng was definitely not short on money.
A man who casually gave her a million dollars without even leaving his name—how could such a person be poor?
However, she didn't want Ling Feng to spend money recklessly just to save face or for her.
"Ling Feng, don't do this. Hurry and put the card away. It's not worth spending so much money!"
In her anxiety, Lin Siqi grabbed Ling Feng's sleeve, wanting him to put the card back.
Seeing this, Xu Qiang was a step faster. He reached out and snatched the bank card from Ling Feng's hand.
"Haha, good. I'll see if you have money, kid. If there's no money in this card, you'd better be prepared to be thrown out. Our security won't mess around with you."
"You talk too much."
Ling Feng glanced at Xu Qiang dismissively and then hugged Lin Siqi again.
Xu Qiang's nose was almost crooked with anger at Ling Feng's words. He held the bank card and ordered the two female clerks, "Ring them up!"
Seeing that this was serious, the two female clerks didn't dare to hesitate. They quickly packed up the more than fifty men's clothing items on the rack and said, "Brother Xu, it's a total of two hundred and fifty-six thousand yuan."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in another wave of clamor.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan! Does this kid have that much money on him?"
"Wow, he's really showing off this time. They've already packed the clothes. If this kid doesn't pay, he'll probably be sold off."
"Look, the mall's security guards are really coming! This kid is finished!"
"Alas, women are truly the cause of trouble. Showing off can be harmful! Now this kid can't even run away."
Xu Qiang also saw the security guards. He then sneered at Ling Feng, shaking the bank card, "Kid, I'm going to swipe..."
"Will you die if you don't talk so much?"
Ling Feng said impatiently. This guy was truly dragging things out.
This time, Xu Qiang was so angry his eyes were turning green!
"Fine, if the money doesn't go through later, see how I deal with you!"
The card was swiped, and the prompt tone followed.
"Beep... Card swiped successfully! Thank you for your patronage."
Instantly, the surroundings fell into dead silence. All the mocking voices froze.
Xu Qiang looked as if he had eaten a dead rat, staring at the machine in his hand in disbelief.
The two female clerks beside him were staring at Ling Feng with eyes blazing!
Such a handsome man, dressed so low-key, yet he turned out to be so wealthy!
He must be a second-generation rich kid!
"Holy cow, it really went through. Two hundred and fifty thousand, spent just like that?"
"Damn it, who said he was causing trouble? Spending over a hundred or two hundred thousand on clothes without batting an eye. This guy must be a second-generation rich kid!"
"Are rich people nowadays pretending to be pigs to eat tigers?"
"Hey, hey, look at the manager's face. It's turned green, haha!"
...
Xu Qiang's face had indeed turned green. It wasn't that two hundred and fifty thousand yuan was a huge sum for him, but rather because Ling Feng's action felt like a resounding slap to his face!
The man was genuinely rich and genuinely here to buy clothes.
Now, how could he ask him to leave?
So many people were watching. He had truly dug his own grave.
"First, sir, these are your clothes, and your card. This..."
Xu Qiang turned around, forcing a smile onto his face like a chrysanthemum. His speech even became a little stuttered.
But Ling Feng had no intention of letting Xu Qiang off the hook just yet.
"Call your boss over."
Xu Qiang was taken aback, then repeatedly shook his head, "Sir, there's no need for that, is there? It's just buying a few clothes, no need to call our boss, right?"
What a joke!
Calling the boss over now would be like Xu Qiang asking for trouble!
If the boss found out about this, he would definitely scold him severely.
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow, "What? Not enough? Then pack up the next row as well."
With that, Ling Feng took his bank card and placed it on the counter.
At this, the two female clerks immediately smiled obsequiously.
"Okay, sir, I'll pack them up for you right away!"
They were very happy. If these clothes sold, they would get commission.
But they didn't realize that Ling Feng doing this would lead to the boss being called, which would not only harm Xu Qiang but also bring about their own doom!
