Chapter 637: Chapter 635: Showing Off While Shopping with Mrs. Lu
Times Square is very large, and all the merchants inside are high-end big brands.
Lin Wanwanâs Yongtang is also inside, but itâs just a small store. Itâs not that she canât afford a bigger shopfront, itâs that the mall wonât give her a larger space.
But even with plenty of stores, Yongchengâs Times Square still canât compare to Hai City, that kind of international metropolis.
Lin Wanwan didnât quite understand why Luâs mother wanted to come to Yongcheng to buy clothes either, surely the brand variety at Hai Cityâs Times Square would be more complete than here at Yongcheng.
She was supposedly accompanying Luâs mother shopping, but after two hours, the clothes Luâs mother gifted Lin Wanwan were even more than those she bought for herself.
It was the first time Lin Wanwan realized buying clothes could be done like this.
As soon as the two entered the upscale and grand store, the sales assistant approached them, handed over a VIP card to prove identity, and were then smilingly led to the VIP area.
Then the store assistant would bring out all the new items for the mid-sized sales assistant to try on one by one, displaying them in front of them.
Anything that seemed suitable, Ye Yinyin would immediately have it packed, without the consideration time exceeding three seconds.
For some clothes clearly meant for younger girls, Ye Yinyin asked Lin Wanwan what she thought. If she said it was good, Ye Yinyin would immediately tell the store assistant to pack it, saying it was a gift for her.
When Lin Wanwan tried to pay herself, she was informed that the VIP billing would be sent to her home separately, and she didnât have the qualifications to pay onsite.
Purchasing so many clothes and shoes, naturally, carrying them back directly wouldnât be feasible, even with two bodyguards following behind.
Thankfully, the storeâs service was top-notch, and they would deliver to the door, leaving an address would suffice.
The imagined scene of being exhausted with a haggard look did not appear; Lin Wanwan and Ye Yinyinâs shopping trip felt less like shopping and more like attending a fashion model exhibition.
In an Italian branded shoe store, as soon as Lin Wanwan and Ye Yinyin entered, they unexpectedly encountered Chen Yan, Su Yanweiâs girlfriend.
"Oh, cousin Wanwan, youâre shopping too! Susu said you went to the Ancient City to study Chinese medicine, when did you come back?" Chen Yan greeted Lin Wanwan warmly and was full of questions.
A girl accompanying Chen Yan was also in the store trying shoes, while Chen Yan waited aside.
Seeing Chen Yan chatting, she curiously looked at Lin Wanwan and Luâs mother.
Lin Wanwan smiled gently at Chen Yan, "Yes, what a coincidence, I came back yesterday."
Ye Yinyin looked at Chen Yan and asked Lin Wanwan, "Wanwan, who is this?"
Lin Wanwan briefly introduced her, "Aunt Ye, she is my cousinâs girlfriend."
And said to Chen Yan, "This is Aunt Ye."
Regarding her cousinâs girlfriend, Lin Wanwan didnât particularly like her. But this is just a cousin matter, not her friend, itâs not her place to say like or dislike, sheâs not the one living with her.
Ye Yinyin was very happy to meet Lin Wanwanâs relatives, and immediately said, "Rare to bump into you, little girl, did you find the pair of shoes you like?"
Chen Yan looked at Lin Wanwan, smiled shyly, and said, "I didnât pick out anything, I came with my friend, sheâs getting married, so she wants to buy a pair of good shoes for her wedding. Iâm not yet willing to spend, waiting to save up money first."
Ye Yinyin looked around the shoe store with a smile, pointed to a pair of shoes on the display cabinet nearby, and said, "To encounter young girls like you makes me happy. Youâre dressed really ladylike, these shoes seem quite fitting to your outfit, do you like them?"
Chen Yan blurted out, "How could there be shoes here that I donât like?"
"Glad you like them." Ye Yinyin then told the store assistant, "Bring the size suitable for this young lady to try on."
"Alright, please wait for a moment." Once the store assistant saw the attire of this lady, the bracelet on her wrist, the girl beside her holding a new Hermes bag, and the two bodyguards waiting outside silently, she immediately knew she was a big client, her smile brightening by threefold.
Lin Wanwan didnât even have time for pleasantries, she was arranged throughout the entire experience.
Upon finally walking out of the shoe store, everyone was loaded with gifts, even the curly-hair-encountered Chen Yan snagged two pairs of shoes.
On the way back, Chen Yanâs best friend curiously asked her, "That Aunt Ye is a relative of your family, right? So noble! So generous! A top-notch wealthy lady! Every family has wealthy relatives, but generous ones are rare. And did you notice the bracelet on her hand felt like the one used by a concubine in the Imperial Palace Treasure Hall."
"I also donât quite know, itâs the first time seeing her, Iâm not sure which elder she is." Chen Yan was holding two shoe bags worth over tens of thousands, and was confused in her heart.
Not knowing which relative this wealthy lady is from Su Yanweiâs family, she promptly decided to call and ask when she got home.
When Su Yanwei heard it was an Aunt Ye, he was in complete bewilderment. After hanging up the phone, he suddenly realized, took out his phone to search for Lu Shouyue, didnât find specifics about his motherâs name, but found the last name, indeed it was Ye.
"Has cousin Wanwan already gotten so close to Lu Geâs family?" Su Yanwei was filled with curiosity.
đđ»đđđđđ«đŁđ€đđđ”.đđ€đą
Last year for Lu Shouyueâs birthday, he delivered a gift from cousin Wanwan to him symbolizing a polite decline, so much happened in the past few months, have their relations gotten so close? Perhaps their relationship is confirmed.
Thinking about this, Su Yanwei felt somewhat troubled.
Lu Shouyueâs mom is so generous, if he were to reciprocate, it would make him wince with pain, if he didnât, cousin might be put in an awkward spot.
He felt a bit resentful of his girlfriendâs lack of understanding, regardless of being an unfamiliar person encountered or even cousin Lin Wanwan, she shouldnât accept such expensive shoes from others!
But since the situation has reached this point, naturally, he wouldnât foolishly rebuke his girlfriend now. Otherwise, heâd lose friendship and potentially trigger an argument, being completely unrewarding, so he could only ask cousin how to repay the favors.
Ugh, the consumption of luxury goods for the sake of face is exhausting; he still needs to save money to buy a house this year.
Lin Wanwan spent the afternoon with Ye Yinyin, nearly getting dazzled, receiving gifts the whole time.
Such a large number of gifts in hand almost felt burning, but fortunately, finally, Ye Yinyin wanted to gift her mother-in-law and went to the third-floor of Lin Wanwanâs area.
She asked which store she thought had better looking works - Smoky Rain Embroideress or Yongtang.
Is there even a need to say? It must be Yongtang.
Ye Yinyin also had a keen eye; she immediately took a fancy to a piece from the Great Tang Palace Embroideress - Lantern Festival Night Banquet.
This piece was crafted by two former court embroideresses from Li Shiminâs palace maid, emulating the original Lantern Festival Night Banquet by Zhan Ziqian.
Although, in terms of artistic value, it canât compare to Zhan Ziqianâs original artwork, from an embroidery worldâs perspective, itâs definitely an exquisite masterpiece thatâs worthy for auctions.
Therefore, Lin Wanwan priced it quite high, setting it at 1.88 million, currently the highest price in the store.
When Ye Yinyin took a liking to it and wanted to pay, finally it was Lin Wanwanâs turn to act fancy!
Aunt Ye, hold on! This store, Iâm a VIP here, swipe my card!
