Chapter 51 She also has a black card!
Chapter 51
Jin Ran didn't speak. The woman in sunglasses thought she had hit the nail on the head and immediately seized on this point to turn to Wei Ya and sneer: "We celebrities should at least set an example for our fans. It's one thing if we can't afford designer brands, but it's a real loss of face if we lower ourselves and hang out with those 'fake socialites' carrying counterfeit goods."
Upon hearing this, Wei Ya's face flushed red; she was furious.
The newcomer was named Xue Lu, an actress who joined the company at the same time as Wei Ya. Relying on her good family background and ability to get along with people, she was favored by the agent. Recently, after appearing in several big productions, her arrogance has become increasingly rampant. She openly and secretly bullied Wei Ya on a daily basis, which was fine, but Wei Ya didn't want to cause trouble and always swallowed her anger.
But now that the other party is even humiliating her friends, Wei Ya can no longer tolerate it.
Her face hardened: "Xue Lu, watch your words and apologize to my friend!"
Xue Lu was taken aback when Wei Ya retorted. Realizing her mistake, her anger flared up instantly: "Heh, I'm not wrong! This bag is worth eight figures. Even if you both sold yourselves, you couldn't afford it. What else could it be but a counterfeit?!"
Of the twenty handbags in China, one was owned by a senior figure in Hong Kong, and five were owned by several wealthy businesswomen who frequently attended events. The last time one appeared was at an auction, where it was bought by the president of Mingji Technology for a high price of 2.9 million. Therefore, she was 100% certain that the handbags of the two people in front of her were definitely fakes.
Xue Lu spoke with absolute certainty. Although Wei Ya was unaware of the details, she knew that given Jin Ran's status, it was impossible for her to be carrying counterfeit goods. She subconsciously turned around to look, only to see Jin Ran suddenly realize something.
She said that someone as stupid as him couldn't possibly be absent from the original story. It turns out he was a cannon fodder character who was constantly tripping up the female lead in the early stages!
He relentlessly suppressed and spread rumors about the female lead, but was ultimately humiliated by her counterattack. First, he was exposed for relying on a sugar daddy to seize resources, then he was accused of being arrogant and demanding, and even his supposed background as a wealthy heiress was fabricated. In the end, he was disgraced and boycotted by netizens, forcing him to leave the entertainment industry.
Meanwhile, the female lead, whom she once trampled underfoot, rose to the top step by step with her strength and became the most dazzling presence.
Jin Ran had a thought and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a commotion coming from the shop entrance.
Someone came in from outside, and the consultants who were previously idle swarmed over.
Even Xue Lu, who had been so arrogant just moments before, changed her expression instantly upon seeing who it was, and greeted them with a beaming smile: "President Jiang, what a coincidence!"
Her eyes lit up. She had just gone out shopping out of boredom, but she never expected to have the chance to meet Jiang Mingxu. Could this be fate?
Thinking about the other party's identity, Xue Lu couldn't help but start making calculations in her mind. She marketed herself as a rich heiress, but in reality, her family was only middle-class. Marrying into a wealthy family was her biggest goal, and Jiang Mingxu in front of her was undoubtedly a good candidate.
Even if the other party is already married, it's not uncommon for mistresses to oust the original wife these days, and she's confident she can defeat the original wife and take her place.
At that time, forget about actress resources; she herself will become the envy of everyone.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Xue Lu became. Her smile grew even warmer as she pushed through the crowd to stand next to Jiang Mingxu. Just as she was about to say something, the man immediately frowned and stepped aside.
"Make way."
His tone was cold, even somewhat disgusted, and he exuded an aloofness that kept people at arm's length. Xue Lu stopped in her tracks and watched as Jiang Mingxu passed by her and walked toward the two people not far away.
Then, she stopped in front of the two people she looked down upon.
...
Thanks to someone, Jin Ran finally got to experience what it means to be the center of attention.
Fortunately, she had seen it all. Compared to a stage with a dozen or so people, she faced the gazes of fifty-three people every day. At this moment, amidst everyone's surprised looks, Jin Ran calmly greeted them: "You've arrived."
Jiang Mingxu nodded and took the bag she handed him: "Are you done shopping?"
"Not yet. I want to buy clothes, but there are so many here, it's overwhelming."
"None of them are suitable?"
"No, it's just that they're all so beautiful that I don't know which one to choose."
Jiang Mingxu thought something was wrong and said directly, "Then buy them all."
? ? ?
Even though I'm acting, do you think I'll take what you're saying seriously?
Jin Ran used all her strength to avoid ruining the scene, staring at Kazilan's big eyes: "Isn't this too extravagant?"
She looked at Xue Lu, who was walking over, with a very manipulative expression, and said, "This lady just said that my bag is very cheap, and if I buy clothes that are too expensive, they won't match this bag."
Jiang Mingxu still remembered this bag. Although the price at the auction was inflated, it wasn't cheap. He glanced at Jin Ran, whose expression was exaggerated, and understood perfectly. He continued, "More than two million is indeed not too expensive. I'll buy you a new one later."
After she finished speaking, Jin Ran successfully heard gasps from those around her.
She wanted to laugh, but couldn't help it. In some ways, Jiang Mingxu was better at stirring up hatred than she was.
But why does it feel a little good?
Even she herself was a little surprised that the bag was worth as much as her monthly allowance! Well, compared to that, she actually felt quite arrogant and thought it wasn't so bad?
Oh dear, we've really fallen from grace.
Xue Lu turned pale upon witnessing all of this.
Considering that Jiang Mingxu had bought a crocodile skin at an auction, the identity of the woman in front of him was obvious.
She was immediately filled with fear and unease. She dared to bully Wei Ya because the other party was from a common background and had no connections. But if the person she offended was Mrs. Jiang, could she still continue in the entertainment industry?
When Jin Ran went to check again, Xue Lu had already slunk away from the crowd.
She curled the corners of her lips into a smile.
The best way to deal with such a person who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak is to use greater power to suppress them. After this incident, Xue Lu will probably have to avoid the female lead from now on and won't dare to act recklessly anymore.
/
With the unimportant people gone, Jin Ran's earlier high spirits dissipated, and she became listless again.
Jiang Mingxu noticed her change, but simply raised an eyebrow and calmly sat down in the rest area, waiting patiently for the two ladies to continue choosing clothes.
Unfortunately, Jin Ran didn't let him rest for long. She took out the clothes she had picked out earlier and, without saying a word, pushed him into the fitting room: "Go try this on!"
"Um?"
"The gift I bought for you!"
Jiang Mingsu realized after a moment's thought that she knew it was his birthday. He was somewhat helpless, but he couldn't resist Jin Ran's insistence. Whenever a woman insisted that someone do something, she would wrinkle her nose and unconsciously add a wavy, whiny tone to her voice, like a spoiled kitten.
No man could possibly refuse it.
When Jiang Mingxu came out after changing his clothes, he met Jin Ran's bright eyes and suddenly felt that there was no trouble at all.
Realizing his own thoughts, Jiang Mingxu paused for a moment.
However, things quickly returned to normal.
To outsiders, he appears serious and earnest, but in reality, he has a somewhat capricious personality. He always tries his best to get what he wants.
As for backing down, Jiang Mingxu scoffed. If he were capable of backing down, he wouldn't be standing here today.
On the other side, a hint of amazement flashed in Jin Ran's eyes when she saw the man wearing a polo shirt.
Jiang Mingxu is tall, so she specifically chose the largest size polo shirt. When she put it on, the shoulder line was crisp, the waist was fitted, and the slightly deep V-neck was slightly open, revealing a section of her collarbone.
Jin Ran had always felt that Jiang Mingxu had a kind of "bandit-like" air about him. Even though he was usually a serious and elite person, his occasional glances or the way he casually picked up a cigarette always carried a wild and untamed flavor.
For example, at this moment, after changing into more casual clothes, his entire demeanor seemed to have been unleashed, revealing clearly defined bones beneath the chain, exuding a strong sense of masculinity.
"My judgment was indeed excellent!"
She praised him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingxu's lips curled up slightly, and he even had the mood to joke with her: "Isn't it because I'm dressed well?"
"Well, you had your part, but the clothes I chose were largely to blame," someone said shamelessly.
“Alright,” Jiang Mingxu said with a helpless expression, “Miss Gong, may I change out?”
Jin Ran knew that Jiang Mingxu had to go back to the company, so she waved her hand and let him go.
Ten minutes later, the consultant packed up all the clothes and smiled sincerely: "It's 250,000 in total, swipe your card here."
Upon hearing the number, Jin Ran felt a pang of pain in her heart for a second, not out of regret, but simply a normal reaction for the poor after shopping.
As she was reminiscing, Jiang Mingxu, who was standing next to her, had already taken out his card. Seeing this, Jin Ran hurriedly stopped him, saying, "This is a gift for you. How can I let you pay for it?"
Jiang Mingxu looked down at her expression and raised an eyebrow: "Are you sure?"
Jin Ran gritted her teeth: "Of course!"
She wouldn't be that stingy!
Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Mingxu and Wei Ya, Jin Ran feigned composure as she took out her card from her pocket. She watched as the consultant placed the card on the POS machine and swiped it lightly. After a short "beep" sound, she reached out and took the card back.
He exudes the aura of a powerful figure.
Only she herself knew that she had already ascended to heaven.
This dazed feeling persisted after she parted ways with Wei Ya and got into the car to go home.
Jiang Mingxu, who was in the driver's seat, handed over a bank card.
Jin Ran was stunned, her clear eyes filled with confusion: "What is this?"
"Bank card." Jiang Mingxu said in a flat tone, as if he were talking about the weather today.
Jin Ran: "..."
Of course she knew it was a bank card, and she also knew it was a black bank card!
The card is entirely black with a matte, frosted finish on the top and a very fine gold trim around the edge, making it look exactly like a legendary card!
At that moment, Jin Ran disregarded the more than 200,000 yuan she had just spent. She felt her heart pounding faster and faster in her chest. She heard herself ask, "Then why did you give me your bank card?"
When the red light came on, Jiang Mingxu stepped on the brakes, and the car came to a steady stop within the white lines. Only then did he have time to reply, "It's nothing, just some money for you."
Then she turned her head to look at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "What, you don't like it?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Ran smiled and took the card, saying playfully, "What are you saying, President Jiang? I like anything you give me!"
Haha, black card! From now on, she's a black card holder too!
