108: Chapter 108 The Heiress Spends Frugally, Her Boyfriend Goes on a Shopping Spree
The middle-aged man wrapped his arms around the seductive woman behind him. "Women are meant to be cherished! Not just talked about. If you have the ability, then buy it! If you don't, then stop flapping your gums."
As he spoke, he picked up the 20,000-yuan bag in the girl's hand. "I just bought this. If you're so awesome, then show me what you've got."
It was clear that this middle-aged man wasn't highly educated, but he definitely had money, which explained his blunt and crude way of speaking.
Dealing with this fake second-generation rich kid named Song Yan was a complete exercise in dimensionality reduction.
Song Yan's face flushed red, but he continued to act tough. "Are you deaf? I don't have a girlfriend, but if I did, I would buy it too! You actually have the nerve to show off with a 20,000-yuan entry-level model?"
"Damn! Then why don't we check the balance?" the middle-aged man said as he opened his phone.
He had recently benefited from a demolition project.
His family's financial situation was already decent, earning three or four hundred thousand a year.
But with this demolition, his family's storefronts, chicken farm, and orchard had all been taken over. Suddenly, he had been awarded tens of millions.
At that moment, the middle-aged man felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to show his balance, Song Yan felt a bit timid.
He did have a banking app simulator where he could type in any number he wanted, but it wouldn't stand up to close inspection.
Usually, when picking up girls, he would pretend to be careless and let them glance at his balance, but if they looked closely, the flaws would be obvious immediately. So, he didn't dare take it out now.
"You bumpkin! No matter how much money you have, you're still just an uncultured bumpkin, understand? I'll say it again: why should I show you my money? I have absolutely no interest in this kind of flaunting, and I even find it tacky."
Song Yan's tongue was still as sharp as ever.
The middle-aged man's fingers paused, and he didn't say anything more, just rolled his eyes in contempt.
He turned to Su Wantang and Jiang Jinyue and said, "Little sisters, like the bags? Big brother will buy them for you. Which one do you like? Anything under 30,000 is yours today. That's just my temper! I speak bluntly! Don't take offense! Life is long, and I can consider buying you better ones in the future."
"Oh? That's certainly direct! Haha!" It was Su Wantang's first time meeting someone like this. Although the middle-aged uncle looked lecherous and hateful,
the way he handled things left people with a strange feeling. Call him lecherous, but he wasn't a scammer! He really spent money.
Call him generous, but apart from that, he was full of flaws. Short, dumpy, fat, and ugly. Even a gold digger could only praise him as "ugly-handsome..."
"How about it? Which one do you like?" The middle-aged man puffed out his belly. The woman behind him was clearly submissive to him and didn't dare to say a word.
Just then, Tang Luochuan finally returned. After hanging up the phone, he hurried back. He hadn't expected to chat with Shen Muyan for so long.
"Are you done choosing?" Tang Luochuan held his phone. His mother, Zhu Xiumei, had sent a WeChat message, telling him to come home early for a family dinner at Qiangqiang Barbecue in town that evening.
"Oh, not... yet..." Su Wantang's tone softened when she saw Tang Luochuan; she no longer had that arrogant air from before.
Jiang Jinyue also shook her head. "No."
"How much do you two need? That should be enough! You're still not done shopping?" Tang Luochuan was bewildered. He had been chatting with Shen Muyan for a long time, and when he checked the time, over an hour had passed.
In his view, giving these two women an hour in a luxury store would probably result in them blowing through five or six hundred thousand, maybe even more. He hadn't expected that they still felt it wasn't enough?
"Shen Muyan is truly frugal and manages the household well." He thought to himself, not realizing he had misunderstood.
"How much have you bought?" Tang Luochuan asked.
"We haven't decided yet... we've just been looking..." Su Wantang's voice dropped; she didn't know how to choose anymore. Jiang Jinyue nodded as well.
The middle-aged man on the side now felt even more confident. Aside from being handsome, these two beauties' boyfriend had nothing but flaws! The biggest flaw was that he had no money.
"Little brother, not willing to buy things for your girlfriend? Men need to be generous, you can't..."
"Who the hell are you?" Tang Luochuan frowned and looked at him. "Do I know you?"
In Quanshui City, this was just how Tang Luochuan was—very arrogant! He was never a straight-A bookworm, but rather more like a slacker with a massive talent for learning.
"Hey? Kid, how are you talking to me?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
Tang Luochuan ignored him and turned to the sales associate. "What were my girlfriends looking at just now?"
"Oh... um... the two ladies were looking at this ring just now..."
"I'll take three..."
"Huh?"
"I said three!!"
"This ring is our store's latest model... 140,000 each, off-white, diamond-encrusted..." The sales associate suddenly started explaining, mainly to remind him of the price.
140,000! And he wanted three? Did he think he was buying 10-yuan street trinkets?
Tang Luochuan was also confused. "And then? Can you give a discount?"
"No!"
"Then why are you telling me about it? I'm in a rush, I need to get home. Yueyue, Wantang! Hurry up and buy whatever you like... we're going home to eat skewers."
"But... but... we wanted to save you some money." Su Wantang spoke up, her little expression looking very aggrieved and captivating.
Tang Luochuan smiled and pinched her cheek. "I didn't expect you two to be so thoughtful! There's no need to save money, let's just save some time instead!"
Immediately, he looked at the sales associate. "Pack it up. What else were they looking at? Bags? Bracelets? Necklaces?"
"Oh, oh, yes..." The sales associate panicked a little, but she also knew her big break might have arrived. Could this guy be a big spender?
The middle-aged man and Song Yan on the side were also lost in thought. They couldn't understand this guy's methods. If he was just another fake second-generation rich kid, how would he pull this off? If he was a real one? Just how rich would he be?
The two of them didn't move an inch, just watched the three of them.
Jiang Jinyue leaned over to Tang Luochuan and whispered, "Luochuan, we really wanted to save you money. Don't waste it."
Tang Luochuan patted her head. "It's fine, if you like it, buy it first! I won't be bringing you both here every day. I might as well buy some for Shen Muyan too. Life has to go on, and being frugal is a good thing!"
"That's too embarrassing. Spending so much money."
Tang Luochuan said, "Aren't we having skewers tonight? A roadside stall, my dad is treating. Isn't that a perfect balance between extravagance and simplicity?"
"What's the per-person cost?"
"At most, 100 per person!"
Hearing this, Jiang Jinyue and Su Wantang felt a bit better. Buying hundreds of thousands in luxury goods first, then going to eat at a 100-yuan-per-person roadside stall—their hearts immediately felt balanced.
"I will definitely behave well!" Jiang Jinyue clenched her fists.
Tang Luochuan: "It's just a meal, what the hell are you going to behave well for?"
With Tang Luochuan's approval, the two girls didn't hesitate, though they still restrained themselves just a little bit.
After a pile of luxury goods was selected, the sales associate was a bit dazed. "1.27 million??" She had never handled such a huge order. In Quanshui City, you could buy a house outside the second ring road for that amount.
"How much?" Tang Luochuan asked.
"Hello, sir, the total is 1,276,900 yuan..." The sales associate's voice trembled slightly.
The eyes of everyone around were focused on this spot. Song Yan and the middle-aged man were staring at him intensely.
Song Yan thought to himself, "What excuse does he have? How will he wrap this up? Don't tell me he paid the staff to act along with him? That can't be right; these things are definitely real."
The middle-aged man thought to himself, "He can't afford it! He definitely can't afford it. Damn, since when has there been such an awesome person in Quanshui City? I just got so much money from the demolition, and even I wouldn't dare to play like this! He definitely doesn't have enough money!"
"How would you..." The sales associate was about to ask how he would pay.
Tang Luochuan had already handed over his card. With his other hand, he held his phone, sending a voice message to his mother: "Mom, tell them to use less spice! I've been having some internal heat lately... Oh right, don't get a private room, let's sit by the roadside! It's got a better vibe!"
