Wu Zhenyuan's dissatisfaction was immediately apparent. The shrewd shop manager could not possibly have failed to see what Wu Zhenyuan meant. The girl he had just looked down on must be someone Wu Zhenyuan knew, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten angry so quickly.
The store manager looked at his employee, who had his mouth slightly agape and was sweating profusely from the tension. He wanted to speak up and stop him, but it was too late.
The sales clerk looked down on us with an expression full of disdain, and said in a tone full of humiliation, "This is a jewelry store, and our jewelry is worth hundreds of millions. You can't afford it anyway, so hurry up and leave. Don't waste our time."
The two bodyguards who came with Wu Zhenyuan naturally saw Wu Zhenyuan's cold face. One of them spoke up and scolded the shop assistant: "How dare you be so rude to the young lady! I think you don't want to work here anymore."
The bodyguard's voice echoed through the jewelry store, and the shop assistant froze on the spot. The girl in front of him, who looked poor, was actually with them.
The shop assistant immediately realized she had made a huge mistake. She looked at the shop manager in terror, and then at He Qiangwei with a look of utter incomprehension. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't understand how such a girl could have any relationship with Wu Zhenyuan. She didn't know what that relationship was.
That's no longer important. What's important is that she knows in her heart that no matter what the relationship is, she's doomed.
Although He Qiangwei was dressed simply, she was clean and pretty. She gave the shop assistant a sharp glare, snorted, and then said to Wu Zhenyuan, "Dad~ I don't want to see her!"
Upon hearing the word "Dad," the shop assistant's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
She couldn't lose this job; she still had a mountain of online loans to pay off. This job was not only high-paying but also respectable, and it was because of this job that she had just started dating a boyfriend...
Upon hearing the word "father," the store manager almost called Wu Zhenyuan "father" and admitted his mistake, but now he could only let the employee take the blame for all the errors.
He strode up to He Qiangwei and immediately flattered her, "Don't be angry. She was blind and dared to disrespect you. Don't worry, I've fired her now, and she won't be here again."
The shop assistant looked at the shop manager with a look of despair.
The shrewd store manager didn't give her a chance to speak and ordered other employees to take her away immediately.
He Qiangwei then walked to Wu Zhenyuan's side with a smile. Her eyes swept lightly over the jewelry in front of him. She felt a surge of excitement, but sat down naturally. She said softly, "Dad, she only looks down on me because I'm dressed plainly."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Wu Zhenyuan quickly smiled and said, "Rose, don't take it to heart. Come on, take a look at these three pieces of jewelry in front of you. Which one do you like?"
He Qiangwei doesn't know much about jewelry, but these three pieces are all very beautiful and unique. However, she can't tell the price range. If the prices were marked, she would definitely choose the most expensive one without hesitation. But now she is in a dilemma. She looks up at the store manager.
The store manager, a seasoned veteran, immediately understood He Qiangwei's gaze and quickly stepped forward to explain, "Miss, these three jewelry necklaces are all the latest limited edition pieces. Especially the sapphire necklace in the middle, although it doesn't look as bold and flamboyant as the two pieces next to it, it gives off a restrained and understated feel. Its simplicity is quite rare and is the focus of its design. Moreover, its collectible value is higher than the two on the sides. Most importantly, I think it suits you very well."
He Qiangwei nodded with satisfaction. The phrase "high collection value" implied its worth. She looked at Wu Zhenyuan, remaining calm and composed. She wasn't overjoyed that he wanted to buy her jewelry. Although she liked it, she didn't want her new father to think she was greedy. So, she pretended to appreciate the jewelry's characteristics and said in a low voice, "Dad, I think the shopkeeper makes some sense. I like the understated and unpretentious feel of this sapphire necklace. It's not ostentatious at all."
Wu Zhenyuan also felt that the sapphire necklace suited his daughter well, so he looked at the shop manager with less seriousness and said to the shop manager, "This is the sapphire necklace. Please wrap it up."
The store manager was overjoyed and quickly went to process the paperwork. The sapphire necklace was worth forty million, making it the most expensive piece in the store.
When Wu Zhenyuan paid the bill, the other sales clerks in the store said with envy, "This is the latest jewelry necklace, and there's only one available."
"He doesn't even blink an eye at jewelry worth forty million. I wish I had a dad like that!"
Forty million! He Qiangwei exclaimed inwardly, her heart pounding with excitement, but on the surface she remained calm and composed, giving the impression that she was someone who frequently bought jewelry.
Wu Zhenyuan then took Wu Youyou to buy clothes, including various styles of dresses.
He Qiangwei really liked those clothes, but when she was trying them on, she looked at her short hair in the mirror and felt a little disappointed. She wished she could have long hair. Wu Youyou's beautiful black hair immediately came to mind... making her jealous.
Seeing that He Qiangwei didn't seem very happy, Wu Zhenyuan asked with concern, "Qiangwei, is it because you don't like these clothes?"
He Qiangwei quickly said, "No, I like it, it's just that my short hair doesn't seem to match these clothes very well."
Wu Zhenyuan looked at He Qiangwei's short hair, patted her head tenderly, and smiled lovingly. "You would look so beautiful with long hair. Why did you keep it short?"
He Qiangwei's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she said aggrievedly, "I used to have long, beautiful hair, but later, because of my father, every time he drank, he would beat me and my mother, pulling my hair and..."
He Qiangwei didn't continue, tears streaming down her face. She choked out, "After I got into the city's top high school, I was afraid it would affect my studies, so I just cut my hair short."
Actually, the reason He Qiangwei cut her hair short in high school was after her mother passed away. She accidentally saw her mother's yellowed notebook and learned her true identity. Then she started to follow the clues and found out about Wu Zhenyuan, the Wu Group, and Wu Youyou.
She discovered that she and Wu Youyou were in the same school, but their social statuses were vastly different, which made her feel inferior. So, she decided to cut her hair short and dress like a boy, thinking that this would make it easier to get close to Wu Youyou, whom she considered to be brainless.
Hearing He Qiangwei's words, Wu Zhenyuan felt a pang of sadness. His daughter had suffered so much, and no matter what he did as her father, it seemed he could never make up for the harm he had caused her and her mother. He said with a guilty look, "Qiangwei, start growing your hair long now, and no one will dare to bully you anymore."
He Qiangwei knew that growing her short hair out would take time, and she didn't want to wait for that transition period, during which she couldn't cut her hair and it looked quite ugly.
Suddenly, a great idea came to her.
A joyful smile appeared on his face.
