98: shop

"Ah?"

On the other end of the phone, Gu Xiaoxuan's mother was stunned again.

It was actually her daughter's boyfriend who allowed it, and he even said he wanted to buy a villa for the family?!

"Hello, hello, I'm Gu Xiaoxuan's mother..."

Her somewhat flustered and clearly reserved voice came through the receiver.

She obviously didn't know how to communicate with her daughter's boyfriend on the other end, and she was also afraid that her situation would affect her daughter.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Xu Zimo..."

Only after Xu Zimo greeted her did her emotions gradually stabilize.

After some conversation.

"Auntie, in a while, Xiaoxuan and I will go home to see you."

"Okay, okay."

The call was hung up. Gu Xiaoxuan's mother stared at her phone in a daze. After a while, she called Gu Qunwu, Gu Xiaoxuan's father, who was working as a laborer at a construction site.

She called several times before the phone was answered.

"What is it?"

Next, Gu Qunwu, still at the construction site, was also stunned.

Ah?

His daughter bought a luxury car for 4.6 million yuan, and even transferred one million yuan to the family?!

Looking at the group chat.

"What's so great about being rich? What does it mean to be rich and still occupy everyone's house? Are you bullying us ordinary folks?"

"Being rich is nothing special. If you want to divide the house, sure, as children, you have the obligation to support your elders. You should first pay the support fees."

This was what Lu Jiaqi taught Gu Xiaoxuan to say.

And the support fees included not only the past but also the future, which was no small sum.

"If you want to sue, our family will accompany you!"

The two uncles and the paternal aunt's faces turned green as they looked at the messages in the group chat.

They were making a fuss for money.

If they were really told to hire a lawyer, who would be willing to spend that money?

After all, each person wouldn't get much money to begin with. If the support fees were deducted, they might not even have enough for the lawyer's fees in the end.

To share equally?

They only wanted to take advantage and wait for the money. If they really had to pay, what if they didn't get the house in the end?

"Usually disrespectful to elders, yet wanting all the benefits. The younger generation is watching in the group chat, be careful your own children learn from you..."

Watching other Relatives in the group chat start to chime in, the three of them were even more furious, almost spitting blood. Although they vehemently denied not taking care of the elders, they were still drowned out by the spittle of the crowd.

Seeing everyone speaking up for her, Gu Xiaoxuan wasn't stingy and directly sent out red packets in the group chat.

Anyone who spoke up received two hundred yuan.

So the public opinion in the group chat leaned even more to one side.

This might have been the most difficult day of their lives.

Originally, if they had gotten along well, and the eldest family became prosperous, these direct Relatives might have been able to benefit a little.

But now that they had fallen out, not only would they not get any money, but they could only watch the eldest family live better and better.

It was beyond miserable.

Gu Xiaoxuan didn't look at the group chat anymore, but instead said to Lu Jiaqi, "Thank you, older sister."

She meant it sincerely.

"It's nothing."

On the way back, Gu Xiaoxuan didn't sit in the front passenger seat, but instead sat in the back with Lu Jiaqi and chatted.

After this incident, their relationship instantly became much closer. From an initial superficial harmony, they could now chat freely.

It was still early.

Xu Zimo took the two of them to IFC, and it was another round of shopping.

Gu Xiaoxuan had actually experienced it once, but this time was different; this time, she was shopping for herself.

She had given the family one million yuan, and she still had two hundred thousand yuan left.

Since she was here, she decided to buy some better cosmetics and skincare products for herself.

She couldn't afford them before, but now it was different.

La Mer, SK-II, and the like, Gu Xiaoxuan and Lu Jiaqi chatted and chose together.

"Brother, I'm done shopping."

Gu Xiaoxuan bought less than twenty thousand yuan worth of cosmetics and similar items in total.

These were things she had always wanted but couldn't afford, and now, she had finally bought them all.

"Let's go look at clothes and handbags."

Xu Zimo suggested.

Although he had given Lu Jiaqi a sum of money, the little assistant couldn't bear to spend it. As for Gu Xiaoxuan, her only luxury item was a single handbag.

Since they were already here, they should definitely do some shopping and earn some goodwill points.

"But..."

Gu Xiaoxuan hesitated a little. She only had a little over one hundred seventy thousand yuan left in her card. If she bought things like Xu Zimo did last time, she wouldn't be able to buy many things at all.

This was her year's pocket money, and it was only the first day!

"Don't worry, buy what you like, I'll pay."

"Brother is too good!"

For the subsequent shopping, the items could have been sent home, but Gu Xiaoxuan insisted on carrying them herself.

She said that's how it felt like shopping.

Xu Zimo could only let the two of them do as they pleased... Wang Pingping's emotions had been unstable recently. Many nights, she would wake up crying from a dream.

If she could, she would rather it be a nightmare.

Today, Huang Yuqing and her Yujie Best Friend Guan Yanchu went out shopping together, and she followed behind them.

The three of them were meticulously dressed. In terms of looks and temperament, Guan Yanchu was clearly the highest. She still wore rimless glasses, and her outfits were very refined, looking very charming.

Wang Pingping, who used to be the class beauty, looked like a little maid in front of the two of them. Although her appearance was decent, she lacked any temperament.

Watching the two of them check in at various Internet Celebrity stores, taking photos of pretty desserts and drinks, Wang Pingping couldn't muster any interest and just casually drank her beverage.

After checking in, Huang Yuqing suggested going to IFC for some shopping.

Guan Yanchu frowned slightly, but still agreed.

Don't let her appearance as a sophisticated urban woman fool you; everything she wore was authentic, looking exquisite and beautiful, but she was almost unable to pay back her online loans next month.

It was very difficult for pretty girls from ordinary families to get in touch with truly rich people.

Especially high-quality rich people.

Although there are now various video platforms to showcase oneself, they are also filled with all sorts of false information.

Girls who are deceived are everywhere.

Because truly high-quality rich people are the scarcest resource in this world; they are that one percent of the population.

And, they usually don't lack women around them.

On the contrary, at least ninety percent of the so-called rich people active online are very superficial. Although they might have genuinely earned money before, they actually don't have much cash on hand, and may even be heavily in debt.

The Xingcheng Socialite group has quite a large number of people; the group chat Huang Yuqing and her friends are in alone has 263 members.

The competition is undeniably fierce.

Wang Pingping didn't want to go originally, but it was only afternoon, and staying alone in her rented room would be boring, so she followed along.

Huang Yuqing was, of course, very happy shopping.

Xu Zimo had recently transferred a lot of money to her. Things she couldn't afford before, she was now picking out.

Guan Yanchu, of course, knew where her money came from. While envious, she also felt confused.

Why hadn't that rich man appeared again?

She was very sure that Huang Yuqing hadn't gone out to meet him alone again.

Could it be... he was already tired of her?
