Chapter 42: Spending more money is good for your physical and mental health
After chatting for a while about Zhong Yingyuan, the two fell asleep under the masseur's massage.
After completing the full body spa, Lin Youning felt refreshed.
The two of them had a pretty good lunch first, and then went to the mall for shopping.
This is the shopping mall that Lin Youning and Gu Huaichen visited last time. This shopping mall is a property of the Gu Group. Lin Youning's consumption here can be regarded as an alternative way to generate income for the shopping mall.
Su Ran expressed her admiration for her statement.
"Just take a look."
"Okay."
Both of them are vlc guests of the high-end luxury store and receive special treatment as soon as they appear.
"Ms. Lin, Ms. Su." Seeing them appear together, the store manager greeted them with a smile, "This way, please."
Not many people knew about Lin Youning’s marriage. She did post it on her Moments, but it was not a completely open circle of friends to the public.
Therefore, the shop assistant called her Miss Lin.
Lin Youning nodded, "Let's just take a look."
The clerk understood, "Okay, we have some new models in the store. Would you like me to introduce them to you two?"
Su Ran: “Okay.”
The two of them strolled slowly in the store, picked out a few clothes and skirts, and then moved on to the next store.
After visiting several stores, Lin Youning and Su Ran gained a lot.
But in comparison, Su Ran is still more restrained than Lin Youning.
Watching the person next to him swiping his card without blinking, Su Ran rested her chin on her hand and said, "There's something wrong with you today."
Lin Youning tilted her head, "What's wrong?"
Su Ran: “Feeling.”
In the past, Lin Youning spent money without blinking an eye, but never as extravagantly as she does today.
Although she swiped Gu Huaichen's card today and didn't need to blink, but... she was still very confused.
Lin Youning: "You think too much."
After asking the clerk to pack up everything she had just taken a fancy to, Lin Youning turned around and asked, "Let's go to the next store?"
Su Ran: “…Okay.”
She finally realized that this person seemed to be buying things today with the intention of bankrupting Gu Huaichen.
After buying clothes, shoes and bags, Lin Youning suddenly had an idea, "Let's go look at jewelry."
Su Ran paused for a moment, "Weren't you still bidding at the auction a few days ago?"
Lin Youning: “That’s different.”
She doesn't wear that hairpin often when she goes out.
Su Ran: “Okay.”
What surprised Lin Youning was that when she and Su Ran went to the jewelry store, they ran into an annoying acquaintance.
"Ms. Lin." When he saw her appear, Mr. Zhao, Zhao Kaiji, was also there, with a new female companion beside him, who was no longer the one from the last auction.
Hearing him calling her by her name, Lin Youning smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Kaiji nodded and looked at Su Ran beside him, "Who is this?"
"My friend." Lin Youning didn't mean to say more to him. She raised her eyes to the receptionist and said softly, "I'm just looking around."
The two walked to the other side, and Zhao Kaiji followed them, "Ms. Lin, what do you want to see?"
He looked very gentlemanly, "Do you need me to introduce you to it?"
"No need for that." Lin Youning said with a smile.
Zhao Kaiji: “Is that so?”
Lin Youning hummed.
Zhao Kaiji smiled and shrugged, "Okay, then Miss Lin, call me anytime if you need anything."
Lin Youning: “…”
After he left, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what could she have needed to call him for? What a psychopath.
Lin Youning didn't like the way Zhao Kaiji looked at her, and she always felt that something was wrong. Of course, it could also be that she was overthinking it.
"What's going on?" Su Ran asked her in a low voice.
Lin Youning: "I'll tell you later."
The two of them walked around for a while, but Lin Youning didn't see anything he particularly liked, so he planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kaiji called her again, "Ms. Lin, didn't you see anyone you like?"
Lin Youning: “Yes.”
She said calmly, "When buying things, you have to look at the person first."
Hearing this, Zhao Kaiji chuckled, "Ms. Lin, do you still need to consider rapport when buying things?"
Lin Youning curled her lips and reminded him, "It's not easy for my husband to make money. I can't just buy something that I don't like."
Zhao Kaiji heard the hidden meaning in her words, and his smile froze a little. "Ms. Lin is right. Meeting is fate. How about I treat Ms. Lin and your friend to a cup of coffee?"
"No way." Lin Youning refused, "Don't you need a female companion, Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Kaiji raised his eyebrows: "She can go shopping alone."
"Oh." Lin Youning smiled, "No wonder President Zhao changes his female companions so frequently. It turns out that he is not considerate enough."
Zhao Kaiji: “You——”
"I have something else to say." Lin Youning was too lazy to talk to him any more. "Mr. Zhao, you should spend more time with your girlfriend today. I'm leaving now."
After saying this, Lin Youning didn't even look at Zhao Kaiji's expression and pulled Su Ran away.
After walking a little further, Su Ran raised her hand and patted her chest, looking at Lin Youning in surprise, "You are just right."
Lin Youning hummed.
Su Ran: "Who is it? Aren't you afraid of his revenge?"
Lin Youning lowered his eyes, "Someone from the Zhao family."
She didn't even know the other person's name.
Su Ran frowned, "There are quite a few people with the surname Zhao in this circle."
Lin Youning said, "I don't know which Zhao family it is, but he knows Gu Huaichen."
Su Ran: “What?”
Her eyes widened. "Could he be Zhao Kaiji?"
Lin Youning: “Who?”
Su Ran told her that there were only two wealthy and powerful Zhao families in the circle. One was the Zhao Kaiji family, whose ancestors had a strong foundation and some of them worked in the upper echelons. The other was in the steel business, also very wealthy.
Zhao Kaiji was a well-known playboy in the Zhao family.
It is said that in his early years, he played with his girlfriend until she committed suicide.
Su Ran was not sure whether it was suicide or not, but that was the rumor in the circle. It was also after this incident that Zhao Kaiji was thrown abroad.
When he went abroad, Lin Youning and Su Ran were still young, so they didn't know much.
At this point, Su Ran was surprised, "When did he return to China?"
Lin Youning: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
"It was really a bit strange the way he looked at you just now," said Su Ran.
Lin Youning: “It turns out I’m not the only one who feels this way.”
Su Ran nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Next time you see him, just stay away from him."
After all, he is a lawless person.
Lin Youning nodded: "I thought so too."
Because of her encounter with Zhao Kaiji, Lin Youning lost interest in shopping. Her good mood was ruined, so she separated from Su Ran and returned home early.
After returning home, Lin Youning went back to her room and took a shower. She looked at the time and calculated the time in New York. She closed her eyes and sent a message to Gu Huaichen: [I went shopping today.]
Gu Huaichen replied to her ten minutes later: [I see.]
As soon as he turned on his phone, a bunch of bill information popped up.
He took a quick look and found nearly twenty consumer bills.
Lin Youning: [……]
Gu Huaichen: [What did you buy? ]
Lin Youning: [A lot, clothes, bags, etc.]
Gu Huaichen: [Not bad.]
Lin Youning: [Ah?]
Gu Huaichen: [Spending more money is good for your physical and mental health. ]
Lin Youning: [? ]
Gu Huaichen: [Ji Nutu said so.]
Lin Youning couldn't help laughing: [Mom is so cute. ]
Gu Huaichen: [It’s quite cute. ]
He narrowed his eyes: [You came to me just to talk about shopping? ]
Lin Youning: [That’s not the case.]
She thought for a few seconds and decided that she should tell Gu Huaichen about seeing Mr. Zhao in the jewelry store: [I met someone while shopping today.]
Gu Huaichen: [Hmm?]
Lin Youning: [That is Mr. Zhao, is his name Zhao Kaiji? ]
After sending the message, Lin Youning waited for a while until Gu Huaichen called.
