Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Money Power
"Yeah, she called me." Jiang Yue looked exhausted, but he was still holding a stack of documents in a brown paper bag in his hand.
Seeing him take off his coat, Wen Yao asked with concern, "Have you eaten? Do you want something to eat?"
Jiang Yue shook his head.
So she then said, "Let me ask you a question. Are all your dresses custom-made? Domestically or internationally? Is twenty days enough? I should get a nice dress for Lu Wan and Jiang Lin's wedding, right?"
Jiang Yue turned around and looked at her.
She has never cared about her image, but now she is nervous, simply because she is going to attend Lu Wan and Jiang Lin's wedding.
Just as he was about to tell her to go find Uncle Gong and not bother him, he suddenly remembered the plan he had made in the afternoon.
I was so busy at night that I almost forgot.
So he stood there for a moment, thought about it, and replied, "I don't think I have anything important to do tomorrow. How about I accompany you to pick out a dress?"
Wen Yao was surprised for a moment, always feeling that his attitude was too gentle and a little abnormal.
You're not planning anything bad, are you?
Later I thought, maybe I heard it wrong.
So she asked again: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yue moved closer, looked at her and said, "I'll go out with you tomorrow morning and buy you two suitable outfits. You'll have a lot of events to attend in the future, and you really don't have enough clothes."
Wen Yao was now sure she had heard him clearly, but she looked at him suspiciously: "Why? Do you have any hidden plans?"
Seeing how defensive she was, Jiang Yue paused, deliberately chilling his expression and speaking harshly, "Jiang Lin's wedding—do you think others won't look at you? As my wife, Jiang Yue, I don't want you to be treated like a free-range chicken from the countryside."
"Hey, what free-range chicken? You're a walking chicken!" Wen Yao immediately retorted.
Jiang Yue took a deep breath and reminded himself to put the overall situation first and not to argue with her.
Then he frowned and said, "Anyway, get ready tomorrow and go out with me."
No matter what, Wen Yao finally snorted and agreed.
Jiang Yue turned around and went upstairs.
The next day, Jiang Yue and Wen Yao went to a designer store in a high-end shopping mall to pick out dresses.
Because time was too tight and there was no time to customize the clothes, Wen Yao decided to buy the ready-made clothes directly.
Anyway, the ready-made clothes here are also very beautiful, and are no worse than custom-made ones.
The clerk asked Wen Yao to try on a few pieces, and surprisingly, none of them looked bad.
She compared them back and forth, unable to make up her mind.
Jiang Yue was sitting on the sofa next to him. She walked over with a dress and asked him, "How about I choose this one? This one is yellow and looks very young and lively. Or should I choose something more dignified? This one is blue?"
After all, she had never experienced such occasions and didn't know what style would be more suitable.
Jiang Yue raised his head, looked at the dress, then looked at the clerk, and said, "Pack up all the ones she tried on before."
Wen Yao looked at him in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do you want to cover it all up?"
Jiang Yue coughed lightly and acted as if it was a matter of course: "They are all suitable, so I packed them all up."
Wen Yao stared at him intently for two seconds, then suddenly realized, "So everything written in the novel is true. This is really how you rich people buy clothes. I saw similar plots before and thought the author was making it up!"
Jiang Yue: ...
The author is really talking nonsense, he thought.
"Anyway, is there anything else you like? You can buy them all, I'll pay for it." Jiang Yue said seriously, showing that this is his personality.
Wen Yao was already beaming with joy and quickly said, "No, no, these are more than enough. Who needs so many clothes?"
After saying that, she saw the clerk packing clothes, and immediately went over and stopped a white gauze dress: "Don't wear this for now, the chest is too low, it's not convenient."
Then he took a look and picked out a bright red one: "I don't want this one either. The color is too eye-catching."
After saying that, he looked at the remaining pieces, and it seemed that there were still too many.
Seeing that there were only three pieces left, Jiang Yue said, "Don't reduce them anymore. Just pack them all up."
Wen Yao wanted to say something, but seeing that he had made up his mind, she didn't say anything in the end.
After picking up the clothes, Wen Yao was in a good mood and took the initiative to talk to him: "I thought buying clothes would take at least half a day, but I didn't expect it to be done in ten minutes. Can I go home now?"
Jiang Yue looked back at her and took the paper bag from her. "The clothes in this store are more formal. You can go to other stores to see if they have suitable everyday clothes."
"But I do." Wen Yao said.
Previously, Mrs. Chen had prepared several pieces of clothes for her under Jiang Yue's arrangement. Although Mrs. Chen's aesthetic taste was different from hers, the clothes were all branded and not ugly.
Jiang Yue said calmly, "Those clothes are not good, buy new ones." His tone and expression were very doting, the kind that did not allow any explanation.
"I suspect you received a system task today that requires you to spend five million." Wen Yao whispered beside him.
Jiang Yue didn't hear clearly, so he turned around and asked him, "What?"
Wen Yao knew that the word "system" was difficult to explain to people outside the novel circle, so she shook her head and said, "Nothing."
The two of them came to some common high-end brand areas, and Jiang Yue continued her previous shopping style: she bought all the clothes she had tried and found good.
Seeing the clerk's smug yet forced expression, Wen Yao felt a little ashamed, as if she had brought a local tycoon out with her. She felt like Jiang Yue was acting strange today, but she couldn't put her finger on what was wrong.
Later, when passing by a drugstore, Wen Yao couldn't help but go up to weigh herself when she saw the scale at the door. It was just a casual thing to do, but when she saw the number displayed on the scale, she was speechless... She had gained two kilograms, a full four pounds!
This... is impossible?
Yes, she did eat a lot these days, so gaining two pounds is normal, but she couldn’t have gained four pounds all at once, right? ? ?
"Wait, please help carry these two bags." Wen Yao handed the two shopping bags in her hand to him and stood up again.
The math shows it's indeed down, but... how come these two shopping bags weigh only 0.4 kg? 8 taels? Less than a jin?
Wen Yao felt that there was something wrong with the scale, so she turned to look at Jiang Yue and asked him, "How much do you weigh?"
"Why are you asking this?" Jiang Yue asked instead of answering.
Wen Yao took the paper bag from his hand and pushed him onto the scale: "Weigh yourself and see if this scale is accurate. I suspect they adjusted the scale to a higher value just to sell diet pills."
Before he even finished saying the word "medicine", Jiang Yue said, "The decimal point is not accurate, probably a tenth of a kilogram lighter."
Could it be lighter? Aren't scales at the pharmacy supposed to be heavy?
Wen Yao was still standing there, in disbelief, when Jiang Yue stepped off the scale. He had already started walking forward impatiently, but after a moment he turned back and said, "There's an accurate scale in the fitness area on the third floor. You can try it."
Wen Yao knew he was talking about Loman Manor. She could try, but she was beginning to realize that this was reality.
The reality is that she has gained a full four kilograms, and her weight is already edging towards 100 pounds.
She wanted to cry but had no tears... It happened too fast. She thought she could never gain weight no matter how much she ate, but it turned out that she didn't eat enough.
Subconsciously touching her waist, Wen Yao no longer had the desire to buy clothes. Instead, she wanted to search online: How to lose five pounds in twenty days.
"Do you want to go over there again?" Jiang Yue asked her.
Wen Yao came to her senses and once again felt that Jiang Yue had taken the wrong medicine today. Not only did he accompany her shopping, take her to eat big meals, and buy her everything, he also respected her wishes very much, making her feel like the canary heroine in a CEO novel.
But she is feeling very upset now and doesn't want to buy clothes anymore.
"No, I want to go back to the gym." Wen Yao said gritting her teeth.
Jiang Yue couldn't help laughing when he saw her panicking, but he quickly put his smile away. "If you don't want to buy it, forget it. But you still need some accessories. Go pick out some jewelry first."
Hmm... Wen Yao thought about it and realized that although she had never worn a necklace or ring, it seemed that the upper class really needed these things to attend weddings. So she said "Oh" and followed him.
When they reached the jewelry section on the first floor, Jiang Yue turned around and asked her, "Take a look and see what you like. Buy whatever you like."
Wen Yao couldn't help but think of the day he brought her to buy a ring. His attitude was as if he was handing in homework. Why did he change today?
Or is it that he really cares about face to the extreme and wants to dress her up beautifully and make her shine at Lu Wan's wedding?
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yue asked her, looking very concerned about her.
She immediately shook her head: "No, no," and walked to the counter to look at the necklace.
