Before Xu Moran could even speak, someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Miss Xu, we don't charge a transaction fee for credit card payments."

Xu Moran fell completely silent. Since when has the fact that there are no transaction fees for credit card payments become an advantage that can be touted as a benefit?

Xu Moran took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone as calm as possible, "I understand. I only need one person. Please understand, everyone. I can only settle accounts with you in order."

Ugh, as soon as the words left her mouth, Xu Moran felt incredibly awkward. She didn't know if it was because her most frequent missions in the past six months had been cracking down on prostitution, which made her words sound strange.

For the delivery drivers, the time difference between swiping their cards before and after was minimal; as long as they could get paid, they were all happy. They nodded in understanding.

The sofa cost 12,000 yuan. No matter how hard Xu Moran tried to control himself, his heart was trembling when he swiped his card.

When Xu Moran swiped her card for the 15,000 yuan computer, not only was her heart trembling and her emotions overflowing, but her hands were also shaking.

The refrigerator cost 11,000 yuan. As Xu Moran swiped his card, he couldn't help but glance at the kitchen. Ever since the refrigerator was placed in the kitchen, it had taken up at least half of the space.

It was a double-door refrigerator. Actually, she was still single, so even if she brought Xu Ye back, the two of them wouldn't need that much space.

Waste is shameful, but to ask the craftsman to take it back at this point is even more shameful.

Xu Moran couldn't do anything more shameful. He quickly looked away from the refrigerator, gritted his teeth, and then swiped the card again.

Her phone, which was in her pants pocket, beeped again with a text message notification. She pretended not to hear it and made no attempt to take it out to check.

She certainly didn't dare to look, because her bank card was linked to her mobile phone, and she would receive a text message notification every time she made a purchase.

The money—the money she had saved up over three years of working and living frugally—was all gone in one go today.

As he swiped his card, Xu Moran didn't feel the same pain as before; he had become somewhat numb with habit.

Finally, only one young man delivering fish tanks remained. Xu Moran felt like she was about to collapse, and without even bothering to tear off the outer packaging of the sofa, she plopped down on it. "How much is your fish tank?"

When Xu Moran asked this question, he seemed both dejected and nonchalant.

When the young man delivering the fish tank took out his bill and handed it to Xu Moran, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. "Young man, you're still too young. This is all just a trick. The real showdown is here. Don't be nervous, relax, because I'm about to unleash my ultimate move."

"Ms. Xu, the fish tank you ordered is called Ocean Love. It's the best quality and most exquisite fish tank in our store, priced at 22,000..." The young man kept observing Xu Moran's expression as he spoke, and seeing her face rapidly turning black, he changed the subject, "Because you are a new customer of our store, and we happen to have a promotion for new customers, we will waive the 2,000 for you. Now you only need to pay 20,000."

Xu Moran frowned and looked at the fish tank placed by the window in the living room.

What grudge does she hold against the fish tank? When she furrows her brow, two deep lines are visible, as if she wants to crush all the fish in the tank to death.

The young man also looked at the fish tank. This location was his suggestion. It was such a nice fish tank, and he hadn't originally recommended placing it near the window. But he had no choice. After taking the fish tank upstairs, he realized that Xu Moran's concerns downstairs were not wrong. There really wasn't a good place to put it in such a small space.

Since the man who called to order the fish tank immediately asked for the most expensive one in their store, the deliveryman thoughtfully brought along a few fish.

Fortunately, he brought a few fish, which gave him leverage to negotiate with Xu Moran.

Right now, those tropical ornamental fish are swimming around in the aquarium, looking quite content.

"Miss Xu." The young man noticed Xu Moran looking at the fish, and felt a sudden urge to grab her.
