Chapter 114 I'm so poor all I have left is money.



......

The two waiters were speechless, stunned by Xibao's thought process.

They stood there, one half-squatting and the other bent over, staring at each other with expressions of disbelief and confusion on their faces.

They racked their brains trying to figure it out, but they just couldn't understand how a five-year-old could know so many of the unspoken rules of selling clothes, even things like commissions and sales targets.

Are wealthy families nowadays raising their children in such avant-garde ways? Starting them up from a young age to instill business acumen?

They really do start from a young age!

The two women found it increasingly unbelievable and couldn't help but develop a strong curiosity about the little child in front of them, constantly wondering whose child Xibao was.

One of the waiters patiently asked, "Little friend, do you know that limited edition clothes are more expensive than best-selling clothes?"

"I know! Limited editions are only expensive because of their unique designs." Xi Bao nodded with a smile.

Another waiter smiled awkwardly and explained, "Little friend, we recommended you buy the best-selling clothes not because of any task, but simply because we were worried you didn't have enough money."

A limited-edition piece of clothing can cost seven figures; your pocket money or the lucky money you saved up for Chinese New Year probably won't be enough.

"Hehehe~" Xi Bao smiled and looked at the two waitresses in front of her. "So the pretty ladies were worried that I didn't have enough money! Don't worry, I lack everything right now, except money. I'm so poor that all I have left is money."

Well……

What exactly happened?

Why do they have such a strong feeling of "comparison is the thief of joy"?

This five-year-old child in front of me is making outrageous claims that he is so poor that all he has left is money!

But what about them themselves?

Every day, they work themselves to the bone in the service industry, struggling tirelessly. Isn't all their hard work precisely because they are short of money and desperately need cash?

This stark contrast is so unsettling, it's as if fate has played a cruel joke on us.

It has to be said that some people are truly born lucky!

They seemed to have been blessed by God from birth, arriving in this world with a golden key in their mouths.

And what about those whose fates are more unfortunate?

Even a simple sip of water could easily cause you to choke and nearly die!

The injustices and differences in this world can sometimes be truly disheartening.

When the two waiters saw that Xibao was determined to get the limited edition clothes and even claimed that he had plenty of money, they had no choice but to lead him to the cabinet where the limited edition clothes were stored.

"Little friend, all the limited edition clothes in our store are here. There are three styles in total, and each style is one of a kind in the whole country."

"Yes, yes, this is perfect. This is exactly the kind of dress I wanted."

With her hands behind her back, Xi Bao straightened her small back, looking just like a little adult.

He tilted his head slightly, nodded with a smile, and looked exceptionally serious and adorable.

His big, round, watery eyes, like two sparkling gems, kept scanning back and forth between the three dresses in the closet.

Her gaze would sometimes linger on a gorgeous white long dress, and sometimes be drawn to a delicate lace-trimmed short skirt.

Finally, he stretched out his chubby little hand, pointed to the two dresses, and said to the saleswoman, "These two will do! Could you please take them down for me, so my mom and aunt can try them on and see if they fit?"

If the size doesn't fit, I'll have to trouble you to alter it.

"Hey! All done!" The waitress carefully removed the dress.

Two sales assistants, each carrying a dress, respectfully greeted Su Niannian and Si Lili, saying, "Madam, Miss, please come this way to try on your clothes." They then gestured towards the dressing room.

Su Niannian and Si Lili exchanged a glance, then walked up to Xibao and the waiter, asking in unison, "You've already picked out clothes for us so quickly?"

Xi Bao said with a grin, "Yes, Mommy is wearing a long skirt, and Auntie is wearing a short skirt!"

Si Lili blinked her big, bright eyes, staring at Xibao with a puzzled look, and asked with great curiosity, "Nephew, why does your mother have to wear a long skirt, but I have to wear a short skirt?"

After hearing this, Xi Bao first rolled her eyes, then looked at her silly aunt with a speechless expression and replied with a hint of disdain, "Oh dear, my good aunt! How come you can't even understand this?"

Isn't that obvious?

My mom already has my dad and gave birth to me. If she still walks around in a short skirt like a little girl, my dad and I will definitely be jealous!

But you're different, Auntie.

Since you haven't found a boyfriend yet, you should naturally wear a short skirt to show off your fair, slender, and straight legs so as to attract the attention of boys.

Otherwise, with you dressed so conservatively, when will you ever find me a husband?"

Si Lili was inexplicably disliked by Xi Bao, and she was extremely upset!

She couldn't help but sigh deeply in her heart, secretly blaming herself for being so talkative; she had only made a fool of herself!

However, not wanting to spoil Xibao's mood, she quickly said, "Alright! I'll listen to my nephew and go try on this skirt first." Before she finished speaking, she and the saleswoman holding the skirt headed towards the fitting room.

Seeing that Su Niannian hadn't moved, Xibao couldn't help but urge, "Mom, Auntie went to try on dresses, you should try them on too."

Su Niannian looked at the gorgeous dress and felt it wasn't suitable for everyday wear. She didn't really want it and thought it would be a waste to buy it, put it in the closet, and not wear it. Besides, the dress wasn't cheap.

She tried to reason with Xibao, "Son, this dress doesn't suit me. Can I change into another one?"

Before Xibao could speak, she pointed to the dress she and Silili had just picked out and said, "I think that one is pretty nice, shall we change into that one?"

With a determined look on her young face, Xi Bao said earnestly, "Mom, if you really like that dress, I can buy it for you on the way home."

However, this dress was carefully chosen by me, especially for you, so Mommy mustn't refuse! Otherwise, your son will be very sad.

As he spoke, he blinked his bright eyes, as if conveying an undeniable message to Su Niannian.

Looking at the stubborn yet adorable little guy in front of her, Su Niannian felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but also a sense of helplessness.

She couldn't bear to refuse her son's kind offer, and judging from Xi Bao's determined expression, the child would probably be very upset if she didn't accept the gift.

So she smiled and replied, "Okay!"

Then, she turned around and walked with the sales assistant to another fitting room.
