The moment Si Lili reached out her hand, Xi Bao's sharp eyes caught her movement with lightning speed.
His heart tightened, and he quickly opened his mouth, urgently calling out to stop him: "Don't move!"
Then, with a serious expression, he said to Si Lili, "Auntie, this dress is for the young lady. When a man buys a gift for a girl, of course he has to spend his own money."
"Don't you and Mom try to pay the bill! I don't need that little bit of money."
This is a matter of face, especially when buying things for someone you like; you have to spend your own money.
Otherwise, people will look down on you.
Xi Bao felt that he had to pay for the birthday gift he liked himself.
He would be too embarrassed if his mother and aunt paid for his meals.
Looking at the face in front of her that was exactly like her brother's, Si Lili couldn't help but laugh when she saw his arrogant manner.
She felt that Xi Bao had really learned most of her brother's ways of doing things.
Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, Xi Bao's card should be a supplementary card to her brother's—that globally limited edition black gold card.
The supplementary card has the same function as the primary card, with unlimited spending. You can buy things without looking at the price and just swipe until the limit is reached, and no one will stop you.
She dreamed of having this supplementary card and had asked her brother for it countless times, but he had never been willing to give it to her.
But to her utter surprise, her brother was willing to give Zhang card to Xibao.
They really are father and son!
He reserved all the good things for his son, ignoring his sister.
For some reason, Si Lili felt a pang of sadness and discomfort.
Why does Si Lijue have to treat her so differently? She's his own sister, after all. He's stingy with her, but incredibly generous to a toddler who's not even five years old.
Ah~ she's unhappy, very unhappy.
Si Lili stared longingly at the black gold card on the cashier's counter, inwardly roaring and blaming Si Lijue from head to toe.
She looked at her empty wallet and felt extremely upset. She immediately put it into her Hermès bag, afraid that others would see it and laugh at her.
She muttered awkwardly to herself, "Fine! Since my little nephew wants to buy a gift for the girl he likes, I won't interfere and will just swipe his card!"
Su Niannian looked at the card on the cashier's counter and thought it looked familiar. She assumed that Xibao had touched the card that Si's father had given her, so she immediately asked suspiciously, "Xibao, where did you get this card? Could it be the one your grandfather gave you?"
Xi Bao said with a sweet smile, "Mom, although the two cards are the same color, both black, this card is not the one Grandpa gave me."
The card my grandpa gave me is still lying obediently in my schoolbag.
This card is the one your dad gave you before, but you didn't want it.
Dad said that once he gives something away, there's no reason to take it back.
Since I see you don't want it, and Dad has already given it away and won't take it back, I'll have to reluctantly take it!
Hehe~ Who told me to be such a good girl, knowing how to share the burden with both of you!
"Uh..." Su Niannian sighed and rubbed her forehead, thinking to herself that her eldest son really was good, even knowing the principle of keeping the good stuff in the family.
She continued, "Does your father know you took this card?"
Xi Bao replied cheerfully, "I know! Daddy said that since Mom doesn't like this card, he'll give it to me so I can buy whatever I want." Her face was full of innocence.
Si Lili stared wide-eyed at her beloved nephew in disbelief.
She couldn't understand why she and Xibao, both human beings and members of the Si family, had such different fates.
Xi Bao was everyone's darling. He didn't even have to ask for anything; his older brother and father would eagerly offer him everything.
And what about her? She desperately wanted the black gold card, but no one was willing to give it to her.
Even getting a little more pocket money each month is incredibly difficult for her.
She was born twenty years older than Xi Bao, so why should this father and son treat her and Xi Bao differently? It's outrageous.
No, when she gets home, she must find those two and ask them for an explanation.
Is she really her father's biological daughter, or her brother's biological sister?
Also, Niannian, her brother gave her a black gold card, why did she stupidly refuse?
Even if I don't want it myself, I can give this card to Si Lili!
It's a freebie for that little rascal Xibao.
Si Lili was in pain in her heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and even she couldn't find Xi Bao as pleasing to the eye as before.
Su Niannian and Xibao were unaware of Si Lili's thoughts; their attention was still focused on the little dress and who would pay for it.
Su Niannian knew the origin of the black gold card in Xibao's hand, and thought that it was reasonable for her son to spend his father's money, which was better than spending his grandfather's funeral money.
So she said to the cashier who was still waiting for a reply, "Then swipe this card!"
"Okay, ma'am." With Su Niannian's approval, the cashier quickly paid the bill using the black gold card.
Then, she respectfully handed the card and clothes to Xibao, smiling politely and kindly, "Little friend, these are the clothes and card you bought, please keep them safe!"
The sales clerks and cashiers work in this upscale children's clothing store, serving wealthy customers. This is the first time they've seen such distinguished guests as today.
Even wealthy people don't just give a five-year-old a black card and let him buy whatever he likes.
Yet this toddler, not even five years old, could casually produce a black gold card. Judging from their conversation, there were other black gold cards in their backpacks, indicating that these three guests were definitely not ordinary people; they were either very rich or very powerful.
They were afraid of offending important people, so they naturally became more enthusiastic in their service.
"Okay, thank you, pretty sister." Xi Bao gave the cashier a charming smile, her big, watery eyes curving into crescent shapes and sparkling, like a little fairy descended from heaven.
He stretched out his chubby little hand and took the carefully chosen little dress and the black gold card with unlimited credit.
Xi Bao clutched the little dress tightly in her hands, as if she were carrying a rare treasure, her movements gentle and careful.
As for the black gold card, Xibao handled it very casually, tossing it into her schoolbag like trash without even looking at it, not afraid of losing it at all, and not taking the card seriously at all.
With light and quick steps, Xi Bao hopped and skipped like a lively and adorable little rabbit to Su Niannian and Si Lili.
He raised his chin slightly, looked at the two of them expectantly, and said with a smile, "Mom, Auntie, can we go now!"
"Okay, let's go!" Su Niannian handed her son her hand and asked considerately, "Do you need Mommy to help you carry your things?"
