Chapter 871 I'm Not as Spendthrift as Him
The short-haired cashier thought for a moment and said, "I haven't been here long, and I haven't seen that style before.
Sister Liu, have you seen it?
The teller, known as Sister Liu, asked my aunt, "Do you have a photo?"
"Yes, yes, I took the picture." My aunt found the photo from her mobile phone.
I was shocked, my son Xiao was secretly photographed by an old woman!!!
Although it is just a hand, it is a hand with distinct joints and a beautiful shape!
Sister Liu looked at the photo carefully, then glanced at her aunt with a strange expression. She asked in an ambiguous tone, "Madam, what is your purpose in looking for this watch?"
My aunt smiled and said, "I think it looks pretty good. I want to buy a similar piece as a gift for someone."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Sister Liu's eyes, but she still spoke politely, "Ma'am, watches of this level are not sold in counters like ours."
My aunt was stunned. "If it's not sold in the store, then where can it be sold?"
"Auction~" Sister Liu said lightly, the mockery in her eyes becoming more obvious, her eyes clearly meaning, 'You don't even know this, and you still want to buy a Patek Philippe as a gift?'
I'm a little embarrassed, well, I don't know.
My aunt hadn't reacted yet, so she kept asking, "Do we have to buy it at an auction? Then do you know how much this one costs?"
"Aunt, why don't you look at other brands? This brand may not be very suitable for your brother." I advised her softly.
My aunt was unhappy. "My brother graduated from a prestigious university, so how come he doesn't deserve a decent watch?"
Sister Liu beside her chuckled, "This lady is really nice to my brother. She gave him a watch worth over 10 million yuan just for getting into a prestigious school."
My aunt's expression froze, and she turned around and asked, "How much did you say?"
"Over 10 million," Sister Liu blinked innocently. "The watch in your photo is a Patek Philippe Nautilus, with a white ceramic strap and a Tiffany blue dial. The cheapest one costs over 10 million."
After saying that, she looked at us with a half-smile on her face. My aunt was a little embarrassed and spoke to me with a tone of blame, "Mengmeng, why didn't you tell me your boyfriend's watch was so expensive?"
I spread my hands and said, "I don't know either. Qiu never told me. But I told you before, his watch is quite expensive."
The price of this brand was obviously beyond my aunt's imagination, so she decided to give her brother a big gold chain.
I looked at the one she picked out, the big gold chain, which she thought was very masculine, and thought it should be paired with a cross-body vest and a flowered armband.
She took a few receipts and pulled me to the cashier, handed the receipts forward, then looked at me and motioned for me to pay.
I pretended not to understand and kindly reminded her, "Aunt, you can pay with Alipay and WeChat here."
My aunt was stunned. "Mengmeng, can't you pay by credit card?"
I was surprised and raised my voice deliberately: "Aunt, isn't this something you bought for your parents as a filial piety? Why do you want me to pay for it?" The customers around me all turned their heads.
My aunt's face froze, and she stammered, "This...isn't this...what you said you should do?" Her hands twisted the bag strap unconsciously.
"Also, this is a gift you bought for your brother," I continued to play dumb, blinking my big innocent eyes.
"I haven't even met them? They probably don't know who I am. Do you want me to give them these things worth over 200,000 yuan?"
Several customers around have started pointing and talking.
My aunt's face turned pale and red: "But when I bought it just now, you didn't tell me not to buy it."
I felt even more innocent. "You want to buy gifts for your family. Why should I stop you from buying them?"
At this time, my uncle saw us at the cashier and walked over with something in his hand.
When I saw my uncle, I deliberately raised my voice and said aggrievedly, "Uncle, my aunt won't blame me for not buying things for her family, right?
My parents didn't tell me that as her niece, I had to prepare gifts for my aunt's family.
Are the customs in Jiangnan Province different from ours?"
At this time, someone laughed and said, "It's not customary anywhere to let a niece buy things for her aunt's family. It's worth over 200,000 yuan, how dare you ask for it."
My uncle's face changed drastically when he heard this. He pulled my aunt over and said, "Nonsense!" His neck turned red and he lowered his voice and said, "What are you doing? Asking Mengmeng to buy things for your family? Do you have any shame?"
Whispers suddenly broke out around them, and one auntie deliberately said loudly: "This aunt is really interesting, I have never seen such an elder..."
"That's right, so shameless..." another young girl echoed.
My aunt was embarrassed and annoyed. She threw the receipts away and turned away, saying, "I'm not buying this!"
I curled the corners of my lips. Although Lao Xiao gave me one million for shopping, why should I spend it on people who have nothing to do with me?
I'm not a spendthrift like him!
The good quality of diligence and thrift is deeply rooted in me!
As we walked out of the mall, my aunt's face was gloomy, her high heels clattering loudly. My uncle looked at me apologetically: "Mengmeng, I'm sorry you spent so much money today..." His eyes were full of guilt.
I smiled and shook my head: "Uncle, don't say that. It's my duty to buy gifts for my brothers and sisters. They are all my relatives."
My uncle patted my shoulder with some emotion and said nothing more.
The back of my aunt who was walking in front of me stiffened noticeably.
However, I could see that my aunt was still quite cautious about me and didn't dare to show me her displeasure. Her expression of anger and trying to smile along the way was a bit irritating to the eye.
I pretended not to see anything and still warmly invited them to dinner. We went to the club as Xiao Shiqiu had suggested.
I feel like I don’t come to the club often enough, and I feel like I can’t make my money back!
I reflected on it and decided that the six of us should have dinner here regularly from now on!
The luxury of the club shocked my uncle and aunt.
I remember the first time I came here, I was just like them, looking naive.
I even planned to bring Wensong and Wenbo here to play during summer vacation. I am such a good sister.
When he got home in the evening, Xiao Shiqiu was leaning on the sofa reading documents.
After listening to my vivid description of today's experience, he laughed and shook his head.
He pinched my nose and said, "I only knew you were stingy before, but I didn't expect you were also a little mischievous!"
I curled my lips and threw myself on him: "I don't care. I am willing to buy things for my cousin and uncle, but why should I give gifts to her family as well? It's obvious that they are taking advantage of me.
I want her to know that even though I am rich, not everyone can take advantage of me. The more she schemes against me, the more stingy I will become."
"Oh, by the way, Lao Wen called and said that Huang Jianmin found a new clue. Is it related to your cousin?"
I immediately sat up straight, "Who is Huang Jianmin?"
