9: Luxury goods amaze the dormitory
Chen Li specifically asked about items priced between tens of thousands and over a hundred thousand yuan. Throughout the process, Meng Yu could only nod or shake her head mechanically, not knowing how to react for a moment.
Even the well-traveled sales guides were stunned by this display. The customers they usually saw were mostly women cautiously testing the waters,
indirectly hinting for their boyfriends to buy things for them. When had they ever seen someone sweep up goods like this without carefully checking the price or the style?
Several young sales guides couldn't help but exchange envious glances, their eyes lingering on Meng Yu—what kind of blessing had this girl earned to find such a generous and wealthy boyfriend?
But the professionally trained guides quickly adjusted their states, offering one well-timed compliment after another: "This handbag is our latest model; it really suits your temperament."
Listening to these flatteries and feeling the undisguised envy of others, Meng Yu's vanity received unprecedented satisfaction.
[Meng Yu]
[Affection Level: +46]
Meng Yu eventually chose five or six different items.
The bill came out: 560,880 yuan. With the crisp sound of the POS machine swiping the card, the transaction was complete.
[Host spent for Meng Yu: 560,880 yuan]
[Affection Level: +46]
[System Credit Received: 25,800,480 yuan]
[Withdrawable Balance: 35,021,280 yuan]
Looking at the long string of numbers on his phone screen, Chen Li suppressed the wild joy in his heart. Over twenty-five million yuan obtained just like that; it was much more than the car purchase limit last time.
Moreover, luxury stores like this frequently get new arrivals; he could visit often in the future.
After letting the staff temporarily store the items, Chen Li pulled the still-dazed Meng Yu out of the boutique.
"Meng Yu, let's go."
"Ah... okay."
Meng Yu was truly shaken. This spending spree was even more exaggerated than the car purchase last time.
In the past, she wouldn't even have the courage to walk into such a store, let alone buy anything. Now, she had bought so much all at once.
Looking at those exquisite shopping bags, she felt in a trance, as if she had truly reached the heavens in a single bound, becoming the kind of wealthy wife in TV dramas who didn't have to worry about money.
"What's wrong?" Chen Li noticed her daze.
"Chen Li, where did you get so much money?" she finally asked the question she had been holding back for a long time.
"I made it from investments. I'll tell you the details of how I earned it slowly later."
"In short, it's enough for us to spend for several lifetimes. Just be a wealthy lady with peace of mind."
"Really? I can buy whatever I want?"
"Of course." Chen Li took out his phone and directly transferred a hundred thousand to Meng Yu. "Use this for now, and tell me when you've finished spending it."
Looking at the transfer amount displayed on her phone screen, Meng Yu was completely speechless.
She repeatedly counted the five zeros after the one, feeling like she was in a dream.
"One... one hundred thousand..."
"Yeah, I'll give you more once you've spent it. Remember, spend it however you like, no need to save."
"O... okay." Meng Yu's voice was as light as a feather; she needed time to digest all of this.
When they walked to the men's clothing section, Meng Yu finally snapped out of her shock.
She began to seriously pick out clothes for Chen Li. This time, she didn't look at the price tags at all, putting in even more effort than when she was buying things for herself.
A pair of casual pants, a T-shirt... she carefully felt the fabric, checked the cut, and occasionally held them up against Chen Li to measure.
Chen Li was also quite cooperative, taking the clothes and going to try them on.
The effect of wearing them was indeed different—the well-fitted tailoring and high-quality fabric made his entire silhouette stand tall, making him look exceptionally handsome.
Meng Yu's eyes lit up. She circled him twice, nodding straight in satisfaction.
After buying Chen Li's clothes, he wanted to buy something more for Meng Yu, but she firmly shook her head.
Seeing her firm attitude, Chen Li did not insist further—if he appeared too eager, it might cause Meng Yu to speculate, which would be counterproductive.
So, the two of them, like the most ordinary couple, strolled leisurely while holding hands, tasted some delicious snacks, and then returned to the school.
The May Day holiday ended, and students who had gone traveling returned to school one after another. The Campus, which had been silent for a few days, became lively again.
Students in groups of two or three dragged their suitcases along the Shady Path, and the Dormitory buildings also regained their former bustle.
When Meng Yu pushed open the Dormitory door carrying large and small shopping bags, the room that had been empty for two days was already filled with her three roommates—the girls, including Liu Manman, were huddled together chatting.
When they clearly saw the exquisite packaging bags in Meng Yu's hands printed with the striking LV logo, their eyes widened in unison.
Everyone knew Meng Yu's family background wasn't bad, but it was definitely not to the point where she could casually purchase luxury goods.
Those high-quality packaging papers and gold-stamped logos all displayed the value of these items.
Li Yuan, who had the best relationship with Meng Yu, was the first to jump up, exclaiming, "Meng Yu, have you struck it rich? Everything you bought is LV!"
"How could I afford these?" Meng Yu gently placed the shopping bags on the table. "A friend gave them to me."
As she spoke, she took the items out one by one—exquisite handbags, leather wallets, and silk scarves were spread out on the tabletop.
The roommates immediately gathered around, and even the usually arrogant Liu Manman couldn't help but lean in.
Meng Yu let them pass the items around. These beautifully designed pieces with outstanding textures made the girls' eyes light up.
"Oh my god, this feel..." Li Yuan carefully stroked the leather surface of one bag.
While everyone was looking, a shopping receipt drifted out from a packaging bag.
Liu Manman bent down to pick it up. When she clearly saw the dizzying number on the receipt, her pupils dilated suddenly.
"Five... over five hundred thousand?" Li Yuan leaned over to look and sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Meng Yu, was this a gift from your boyfriend? This is too exaggerated. I don't even know if I can earn this much money in my lifetime..."
Pinching the receipt, Liu Manman's voice was full of unbelievable envy: "Meng Yu, what exactly is your boyfriend's background? This is way too much spoiling!"
"You've really found a treasure," the usually quiet Meng Xiaoçao couldn't help but sigh.
Meng Yu was also a bit embarrassed to say it was Chen Li. She knew very well that once she said it, the atmosphere in the entire Dormitory would become incredibly awkward.
After all, Chen Li was the ex-boyfriend Liu Manman had just broken up with not long ago.
Although she was in a normal relationship, getting together so quickly would inevitably make people think too much.
Seeing that Meng Yu didn't answer, the girls were even more curious, surrounding Meng Yu and asking questions all at once.
What exactly happened during this May Day holiday? How could the long-time single Meng Yu suddenly find such a wealthy boyfriend?
All of this came too suddenly, almost like a plot in an idol drama.
Looking at these exquisite luxury goods on the table, Liu Manman touched the gold necklace in her bag—this was a gift from her male best friend Yang Bin, worth nearly twenty thousand yuan.
Originally, she had planned to put it on after Meng Yu returned and enjoy her roommates' envious gazes.
But now, that necklace that once made her proud seemed so insignificant in front of over five hundred thousand yuan worth of luxury goods that she didn't even have the courage to take it out.
"Meng Yu, you must treat us to a meal this time," Li Yuan said, holding Meng Yu's arm, half-joking and half-serious.
"Yeah, it would be best if you could invite your boyfriend out so everyone can meet him," Liu Manman echoed, suppressing the complex emotions in her heart.
"A meal is no problem; you guys just pick a place."
Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and she suggested with anticipation, "Then can we go to 'Bafanglou Restaurant'? None of us have ever been to such a top-tier restaurant."
"Sure, I also happen to want to go and see it for myself."
Now she had plenty of confidence. A top-tier restaurant like 'Bafanglou Restaurant' that she had only heard of was somewhere she could go and experience.
At the same time, a similar lively atmosphere filled Chen Li's Dormitory.
Guo Zihong threw an arm around Chen Li's shoulder: "A Li, you must take us brothers to 'Bafanglou Restaurant' today to broaden our horizons!"
Knowing that Chen Li not only had deep pockets but had also won over the acknowledged Department Beauty Liu Yu, his words carried seventy percent playful teasing and thirty percent seriousness.
"Holy crap, 'Bafanglou Restaurant'!" Zhang Yixi, who was nearby, sucked in a breath. "Zihong, you really dare to suggest that!"
