Chapter 469: Snatch
Even clay figures have tempers, and even though the manager was embarrassed, he had worked in such a luxury store for so long and had reached his current position. It was impossible for him to be scared by Chu Yixue's words. The previous embarrassment was simply because both customers were unwilling to offend.
"Miss, please do as you please." The manager's pleasant expression had faded, and he had become much more serious. "First come, first served. The lady is looking at it now. Unless she explicitly says no, we really can't sell it to you."
Although he was tough, he spoke neither servilely nor arrogantly, and no one could find any fault with him.
"You——" Chu Yixue was extremely angry.
She felt that she had lost face in front of Zhong Nian Yao today and was really angry.
In the past, Zhong Nianyao was a rich lady, and she could not compare to her. But now she is already the second daughter of the Chu family, why is she still suppressed by Zhong Nianyao in every way?
Moreover, after what happened before, she no longer had the heart to continue acting in front of Zhong Nianyao. Since they had already torn their faces apart, there was no need to continue pretending. As long as it could cause trouble for Zhong Nianyao, she was happy to do it.
Li Jingming, who was standing by, pulled Chu Yixue aside and whispered, "Forget it, it's just a brooch, why make a fuss here?"
Looking at Li Jingming beside her, and then at the handsome man standing next to Zhong Nianyao, Chu Yixue felt disgusted. However, she and Li Jingming were still in the same boat, and she was still counting on him to help her deal with Zhong Nianyao. So, no matter how disgusted she was, she could only endure it for now.
However, on a matter like today, she really couldn't give in. "Don't worry about this matter. I have my own ideas."
After hearing Chu Yixue's answer, Li Jingming couldn't help but frown. He wanted to say something, but seeing that Chu Yixue's face was not looking good, he stopped talking.
He still felt that his current behavior was too shameful. If possible, he really wanted to leave immediately. However, he knew in his heart that he could not convince Chu Yixue at all, so he could only stay here with her.
Lu Yichen glanced at Li Jingming and Chu Yixue with cold eyes, and when he turned to look at Zhong Nianyao, his eyes instantly became gentle, "Do you like it? If you do, let's buy it!"
Zhong Nianyao chuckled and put the brooch down. Then she smiled at the somewhat bewildered salesperson and said, "Since that lady likes it, then you can pack it for her!"
"ha!"
Not only the salesperson, but everyone present, except Lu Yichen, was confused by this turn of events. They had originally thought that two people were fighting over a brooch, but now Zhong Nianyao had given up so easily, which made Chu Yixue's previous actions seem a little ridiculous.
However, when you think about it, it seems to be true. From the beginning to the end, Zhong Nian Yao never seemed to say a word, and it was Chu Yixue who directed and acted here all the time.
Seeing Zhong Nian Yao give up like this, Chu Yixue was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little regretful.
She originally wanted to snatch the brooch because she wanted to go against Zhong Nianyao. At the same time, she also wanted to show her her status as the second daughter of the Chu family.
However, Zhong Nianyao gave up so easily, which made her feel like a clown.
"What's the matter?" Zhong Nianyao looked at Chu Yixue with a half-smile, and her words were tinged with sarcasm. "Could it be that the second daughter of the Chu family has gone back on her word and doesn't want to buy it anymore? Or is it that the pocket money the Chu family gave you is not enough?"
How could she not see Chu Yixue's regret? However, now that Chu Yixue said she wanted it, she couldn't regret it!
Moreover, she also wanted to see how the Chu family treated Chu Yixue now.
"Of course I want it. Wrap it up for me." Chu Yixue stiffened her neck and spoke directly.
Although she knew that Zhong Nianyao was most likely provoking her, the contemptuous attitude still made her lose her mind. She couldn't accept that she was looked down upon by Zhong Nianyao. In the past, it was because of her inferior status, but not now.
After hearing Chu Yixue's words, the shopping guide packed up the brooch without any hesitation and went to issue the invoice.
The movements were smooth and seamless, as if he was afraid that Chu Yixue would go back on her word.
Zhong Nianyao, who was standing by, found the shopping guide's somewhat anxious attitude a little funny.
Soon, the shopping guide came to Chu Yixue, respectfully handed over the wrapped gift box, and then said with a smile, "Miss, this brooch is 750,000 yuan. I wonder how you plan to pay?"
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand?"
After hearing the price, Chu Yixue couldn't help but be shocked. Although she was determined to buy the brooch because she wanted to compete with Zhong Nianyao for it, she never thought that the brooch would be so expensive.
After returning to the Chu family, her parents treated her very well and never treated her poorly in terms of material things. They bought her many high-end dresses, a lot of jewelry, and even bought her some real estate. However, in terms of money, they only gave her a small amount of pocket money every month.
She originally thought that it was just a small brooch, which would cost at most 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, but she didn't expect it to cost 750,000 yuan.
Seeing Chu Yixue's expression, the salesperson's heart skipped a beat, as if she was afraid she wouldn't buy it. She immediately started explaining, "Miss, this is not an ordinary brooch. It's a new product designed by our company's senior designer this season. It's also limited edition, with no more than fifty pieces available worldwide."
"Although the main diamond on this brooch is only three carats, it is a top-grade South African diamond with an IF flawless purity, an E-grade color, and the finest cut. Therefore, the price of 750,000 is absolutely reasonable."
"What's the matter? Chu Yixue, you don't have enough money, right?"
Zhong Nianyao rested her hand on the glass counter, supporting her chin as she looked at Chu Yixue and said with a smile, "If you don't have enough money in your pocket, don't make such a fuss in the future. You see, it's really embarrassing to be in a situation like this where you don't have money to pay the bill."
"Who said I don't have money to pay?" Chu Yixue was furious. She took out a card from her bag and handed it to the salesperson. "Since I said I want to buy it, I won't go back on my word. Swipe the card."
