Though, actually entering the stores to shop was clearly beyond their means.
Under their envious stares, Nancy, hand in hand with Luis, entered the LV store together.
"Oh, Sister Nancy!"
A manager with a pretty face and a hot figure greeted them enthusiastically. Luis glanced back at Nancy. Nancyâs face was flushed, but she proudly straightened her posture and said, "Oh Phillipa, itâs been a long time."
"Sister Nancy, the bag you mentioned to me is available now. After the discount, it is 1,100 dollars. Should I pack it now?"
The manager named Phillipa was very enthusiastic. At the same time, she was sizing up Luis, her gaze sharp as she thought to herself, Teacher Blanche wasnât exaggerating.
Heâs buying this little bitch a car worth nearly a hundred thousand dollars at such a young age, and even bringing her to LV. What right does this little slut have? If I tell her husband about this, letâs see what you little slut will have left to boast about. Probably Poke, who doesnât get along with her, would be very happy to do this.
"No, on second thought, that one isnât very nice either. Iâd like to look at some others."
"Alright, please feel free to look around. If you need anything, Iâll come over immediately."
This store was considered a flagship store. Besides bags, it also sold clothes, watches, and jewelry. One had to admit, the environment here was truly luxurious. The professionally trained sales staff didnât constantly follow you around, which made the experience very comfortable.
"Brother in law, what do you think of this one? I think itâs very suitable for Mother In Law, and itâs practical too. It would be good for her to carry when she goes to play cards." The bag Nancy had her eye on was priced at over 6,000 dollars, and it looked very beautiful displayed in the counter.
However, Luis didnât understand bags at all. One could say most men werenât interested in them.
"If Big Sister thinks itâs suitable, then it is." Luis replied with a gentle smile, then turned and called out to Phillipa, "Wrap it up, please."
Phillipa hurried over, slightly surprised, but reminded them, "Sister Nancy, this is the current seasonâs new model. It isnât discounted."
Luis wore a soft smile. Nancy said with full confidence, "Weâll take this one. Please pack it up right away."
Phillipa nodded, feeling somewhat astonished when Luis spoke up, "Nancy, this is a birthday gift for your mom. Why donât you pick one for your sister and for yourself as well."
"Okay!"
Nancy began browsing with her head held high, just like a proud peacock. Luis followed behind her, acting completely like a devoted, obedient lapdog.
Phillipa felt her entire worldview shatter. She had seen many men and women shopping for bags together, but they usually werenât married couples. If they were couples, most often the wife came alone to shop, sometimes even secretively.
When a purely non-married man and woman came shopping together, it often involved money. Typically, the woman wanted something expensive, and the man was somewhat reluctant.
Usually, the woman would have to act coquettish, coax him, even agree to some vulgar conditions as a trade to get the man to obediently pay up.
Such relationships mostly involved middle-aged men and young girls. A combination like this, a seemingly perfect, youthful golden couple, was honestly very rare. Even wealthy playboys chasing girls rarely gave such gifts.
The man Nancy brought was tall and handsome, that was one thing, but his clothes were so ordinary. Yet when it came time to pay, he was so straightforward. The key point was he wasnât just buying a bag for Nancy.
He was buying for her mother, for her sister... Forget ordinary benefactors, even if he were her actual wealthy husband, few were so generous.
At this, Phillipaâs gaze towards Luis became intensely fervent.
Her look towards Nancy, however, was filled with jealousy. This bitch always acted aloof and superior, and she didnât even know how to please a man properly. How did she manage to find such a generous sponsor?
Later, Iâll have a meal with Poke and see if anyone knows her husband. Letâs talk to him about this. We canât let her be so pleased with herself.
A womanâs jealousy is a terrifying thing. While Nancy was basking in her glorious moment, completely unaware, the smiling, attentive Phillipa behind her was already beginning to plot against her.
"Honey, look at this bag, itâs very light. My second sister is pregnant, so carrying this would be perfect for her. Itâs very practical."
"Honey, my little sister is still in school. Didnât we buy her the latest model last time? I think just getting her a card holder now would be enough. This one is just over 2,000 dollars, quite a good deal."
Nancy was fully immersed in her role now, affectionately calling him âhoneyâ and flaunting their âaffectionâ. Luis responded with an extremely gentle smile, nodding without the slightest hesitation.
"Letâs take these two!"
After choosing the bags and arriving at the counter, Luis asked curiously, "Why didnât you pick one for yourself?"
Nancy, flaunting the Chanel bag she was carrying, said playfully, "Honey, you just bought this for me less than a week ago. Let me wait until the novelty wears off before buying another. Otherwise, Iâll have too many bags and no place to put them."
"Besides, I have a hard time making decisions. It takes me ages just to choose one bag to carry when I go out."
Bitch... Phillipaâs heart burned with jealous fury, but she maintained a diligently professional smile on the surface. "Sister Nancy, these three bags total 12,000 dollars."
Even though it was an LV store, for purchases that didnât involve limited editions or custom orders, this level of spending was still quite decent, certainly surpassing more than 90% of customers.
"Wait a moment!"
This exclamation made Nancy freeze for a second. Having kept up this act for so long, if she were to say she wasnât buying or go pick cheaper, discounted bags now, she would lose too much face.
Phillipa, holding the POS machine, was also stunned.
Luis, however, pointed to the jewelry nearby and said, "Nancy, the jewelry here is quite inexpensive. Pieces cost a few thousand, the expensive ones are just over ten thousand. Why donât you pick out a few pieces as well."
"Buy more?!" Nancy breathed a huge sigh of relief and immediately spoke in a coquettish tone.
"Itâs not expensive, and itâs not heavy either." Luis said with a light laugh. "I canât be bothered to go shopping much. Since weâre here, you should buy a bit more."
Phillipaâs jealousy had already twisted into something ugly. In all her time working here, this was the first time sheâd seen a man urging more spending. He was simply an oddity.
So, Nancy started browsing in the jewelry section.
"Baby!" Luis called her to a stop, handed her his bank card, and said, "You know the password. Iâm going outside for a cigarette."
"Okay."
Luis stood outside the door, smoking and stretching. Deliberately showing off their âaffectionâ felt pretty good. His sister in law must be over the moon right now.
This was called knowing her preferences and catering to them.
The strategy for conquering his sister in law was very clear: guide her to spend his money boldly. Not only would this make her savings fund grow larger and larger, but it would also make her sink deeper into dependency.
Romance and sweet talk were fine, but they couldnât match the thrilling experience of splurging money like this. It was also more effective at making her succumb.
After waiting a while, Nancy emerged laden with bags, large and small. Phillipa saw her out from behind, her face radiant with pride, like a triumphant peacock.
But the moment she saw Luis, she looked somewhat guilty again.
"Brother in law, your card!" Nancy quietly handed the card and receipt back to him, lowering her head slightly in embarrassment.
"Baby, why arenât you calling me âhoneyâ now?" Luis teased her.
Nancy, feeling a little guilty, pouted and said, "That was just acting before. Have you gotten addicted to taking advantage of me?"
"True, being your husband isnât very exciting. Being your brother in law is much more thrilling. I never expected Big Sister to have such a... vulgar interest." Luis continued teasing her. He put the card away and picked up the receipt. Now he knew why she looked so guilty. She had spent 25,000 dollars.
Nancy explained with a guilty conscience, "Well, I thought Lily and my younger sister would also wear my jewelry, so I bought a few more pieces."
"Phillipa recommended them so enthusiastically, and the discount seemed good, so I just went ahead and bought them..."
Luis smiled gently and took her hand. In one smooth motion, he accepted the bags she was carrying and said with a warm smile, "If Big Sister picked them out, they must be beautiful. Then the money was well spent."
The favorability meter hadnât refreshed yet.
But his sister-in-law Nancyâs savings had already reached the 200,000 dollar mark.
Seeing Luisâs tender and considerate smile, Phillipa, standing behind the glass door, was already green with envy, her face practically contorted.
It was impossible for any man to be this generous and broad-minded, spending so much money without a hint of regret. What was more, that bitch Nancy always put on a cold, aloof front, never knew how to act cute or properly please a man. She didnât deserve this.
