15: Continue emptying the mall

"Miss Gao, this is the young owner of Lan Ting Mall, Lu Li," Shen Xuan introduced the two.

"Miss Gao, it's a pleasure to meet you. Today, everything in the mall will be 20% off; consider it my meeting gift."

"I wonder if Miss Gao would accept?" Out of politeness, Lu Li prepared to reach out and shake her hand.

However, he was stopped by Shen Xuan, who didn't want his friend's hand to end up like his, still aching even now.

"Then thank you, Young Master Lu. But since you've offered a meeting gift, I can't exactly fall behind, can I?" Gao Ying didn't refuse his kindness.

Regardless, she wasn't going to take advantage of him; she just happened to need to spend money to level up.

The whole group headed to the second floor first.

"Go pick whatever you like, and we'll settle the bill together at the end. A Lin, come with me."

Gao Ying took him to Xiangxiang's shop. Last time, she had seen a light blue suit that suited his gentle temperament perfectly.

"Miss Gao, welcome. We've just brought in many new items from the main store today; please have a look." The store manager was about to head out for business, but the moment she stepped out and ran into the God of Wealth, she put her errands out of her mind.

"Mhm, I'll take a look in a bit. First, take down that suit and let him try it on." Gao Ying pointed to the light blue suit.

"Certainly. Xiao Xiang, come over here." The manager called Yin Xiang over to attend to them while she went to get the clothes.

"My taste is indeed excellent; this outfit matches your temperament perfectly."

"This one, this one, and this one... also, don't include these few. Pack up everything else that fits his size."

Gao Ying walked around the men's clothing section and had everything packed except for a few items that didn't catch her eye.

Lu Li and Shen Xuan watched her lavish spending, somewhat tongue-tied.

It wasn't that these second-generation heirs didn't have the means to buy out a store, but this ancestor had only just cleared out this shop.

Now she was back for another sweep; the two of them suddenly felt a bit of "eat the rich" envy.

"Your Highness, mine is ready," Yin Ren ran over with a grin.

"Take this to settle the bill." Gao Ying handed him the card.

"Miss Gao, it's quite a hassle to pay like this. Why not have everyone come here to settle their bills? It would be more convenient," Lu Li suggested.

Gao Ying thought his suggestion was good, so she had Yin Ren tell the others.

"Yin Yi, why did you only get these two pieces of clothing?" Gao Ying's brow furrowed when she saw the shop assistant behind him holding only two items.

"Your Highness, I don't care much for what I wear. These two are enough for me," Yin Yi replied matter-of-factly.

"Bring everything in your store that's in his size—accessories and shoes included," Gao Ying ignored him and spoke directly to the shop assistant.

"Of course, I'll get right on it." The assistant hadn't expected such a windfall and immediately headed back into the shop.

Yin Yi wanted to say something more, but seeing the look in Her Highness's eyes, he silently shut his mouth.

The others didn't need her to speak; they sensibly had the shop assistants who were following them go back and fetch the items.

"A Chan, you and A Yuan stay here. I'm going to look at watches."

Looking at the pile of clothes, she estimated it would take two or three hours to finish the tally. She might as well use the time to look at watches.

They went straight to Patek Philippe.

"Don't show me anything under five million." Fearing they might try to save her money, Gao Ying set a minimum price as soon as she entered the store.

Yin Yi's footsteps faltered, and he silently walked toward the high-end section.

"Please wrap these two watches for me." Since Gao Ying was giving a return gift, she certainly couldn't give just one.

Besides being satisfied with the price of these two watches, their designs were also exquisite.

The case was carved from a single piece of white gold, decorated with the Calatrava cross and arabesque patterns, and the dial was a deep blue perpetual calendar dial.

The case back was sapphire crystal, revealing a charming starry sky that allowed one to feel the mystery and vastness of the stars.

"Consider these watches my meeting gifts; I hope you two young masters won't mind." Gao Ying picked up the watches and gave them to the two men.

"Miss Gao, this meeting gift is far too valuable. This is the Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon; it costs over ten million." Lu Li hadn't expected her to be so generous.

Giving away gifts worth over twenty million just like that.

"For the young masters of Jiang City, wouldn't it be unseemly if the gift were too shabby?"

After saying that, Gao Ying began picking out a watch for Yin Feng.

"This one would suit Yin Feng very well," Yin Lin pointed to a watch.

"Yin Feng will surely like your choice. Then we'll take this one."

Gao Ying had someone take the watch directly to Xiangxiang's shop to settle the bill.

"Your Highness, I'm truly so happy. If I'd known, I would have come out to be by your side sooner," Yin Ren teased as he approached her.

"Hmph, smooth-talker," Yin Chan looked at him with annoyance.

"Little Seven is just like this; he's always so lively whenever he comes out."

"But he really is a wolf in sheep's clothing. How many people have suffered at his hands?" Yin Yuan said as he joined them.

"Yin Chan, you're badmouthing me again. If you're so capable, why don't you try being a bit more lively yourself?" Yin Ren's ears were very sharp, and he looked at Yin Chan provocatively.

"Boring." Yin Chan rolled his eyes and entered the shop.

"Miss Gao, please take a look at our cheongsams. Your temperament really suits them."

A young lady wearing a cheongsam introduced a long, cream-colored, national-style cheongsam to her.

Gao Ying's eyes lit up when she saw the cheongsam in her hands.

"You guys go on ahead. I'm going to try on the clothes in this shop."

Without waiting for a response, Gao Ying pulled the young lady into the shop.

Yin Lin told Yin Zong and the others to go ahead while he followed Gao Ying into the shop.

"Yin Lin is so calculating, actually wanting to monopolize Her Highness," Yin Ren grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"Wow! So beautiful, I want to try this one." Gao Ying took a fancy to an ink-wash style cheongsam.

"Miss Gao has excellent taste. This ink-wash style gives off the gentle temperament of a Jiangnan woman when worn," the young lady praised as she pulled out her size.

"Could you help me with the zipper on the back?" Cheongsams were beautiful, but the back zippers were difficult to reach.

"Thank you." Gao Ying thought it was the shop assistant, but when she turned around, it was Yin Lin.

"Why is it you?"

"Other customers came in, and they're busy," Yin Lin said, his eyes darting away slightly.

Gao Ying was in a hurry to see how the cheongsam looked on her, so she didn't pay much attention.

"I really like it. Your cheongsams are very comfortable too. Except for those few old-fashioned ones, I'll take one of each in my size," Gao Ying still loved cheongsams.

When she found something she liked, she would definitely buy in bulk.

After an afternoon at the mall, having spent two hundred million, Gao Ying went home satisfied.

Lu Li and Shen Xuan had finally witnessed what it meant to spend money like water.

This wasn't just spending money; not only was she spending on herself, but she was also incredibly generous to the people around her.

Both of them almost wanted to become her followers.

Before she left, Lu Li invited her to the Ding Tian Auction House the day after tomorrow.

[Sister, agree to it. Once you go to the auction house, money will flow out like water.]

[This auction house is definitely worth going to.]

"Alright, see you then." Hearing this, Gao Ying agreed to his invitation without hesitation.
