Chapter 971 Are you trying to say I can't afford it?

Even after leaving home, Jenny's biggest concern was still her career.

So the first place they visited was Friendship Department Store.

Shen Lu still remembered that the last time she came here, she encountered Zhang Ruoruo and her friends making outrageous remarks in SUNNY.

This time, Zhang Ruoruo went from being a customer buying clothes to becoming an employee here.

Hello, how can I help you?

Zhang Ruoruo greeted every customer with a formulaic smile.

Because she was good at pretending and had a silver tongue, it wasn't too difficult for her to get a job as a waitress here.

Moreover, she was only doing this part-time; it was only through her hard work that she was able to find summer jobs here.

Zhang Ruoruo didn't want to lose this high-paying job, so even when her former classmates and friends came to admire her as a sales assistant with malicious intent, she didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

She tries her best to satisfy every customer, hoping to find a benefactor who can turn her family's fortunes around.

She refused to believe that if she could recognize one godmother, she couldn't recognize a second one!

Zhang Ruoruo never expected that while a child's sweet words, obedience, and good manners would be endearing, if it were an adult, especially a young and beautiful woman, no wealthy lady would dare to recognize her.

This isn't about finding a daughter for yourself, but rather finding a rival in love, or finding a very unsuitable daughter-in-law for your son.

Therefore, people who come here either ignore Zhang Ruoruo's ambition or simply don't think about it at all.

Zhang Ruoruo was not in a hurry and waited patiently for her prey.

Old Mrs. Shen was the first person Zhang Ruoruo noticed.

Shen Lu went to the restroom and did not enter the store with the old lady.

Jenny, the boss, also doesn't have any space available for the time being.

The old lady appeared to be alone, and Shen Wu accompanied her in.

Zhang Ruoruo has sharp eyes and can tell that Shen Wu is just an accomplice.

Her gaze was fixed on the old lady: "Auntie, you can tell me what clothes you want to buy."

"Is it for yourself, or a gift?"

Grandma Shen had seen too many instances of such attentiveness when she was young.

A girl like Zhang Ruoruo is nothing to her.

"Giving it away."

The old lady knew that Sunny was owned by Jenny and her granddaughter, and there were no clothes that she, at her age, could wear.

It's not that she can't wear it, but the old lady is very particular about her clothes. Even though SUNNY fits the aesthetic of many wealthy ladies, it still falls a little short for her.

The design is good, the workmanship is good, and the materials are good, but the old lady has her own unique aesthetic.

She designed her own clothes when she was young, and her family owned a clothing factory. The clothes she made were incredibly beautiful.

Thinking about it this way, I think I'll just go along with Xiao Lu.

"Who are you sending this to? Approximately how old is they? What's their skin like...?"

Zhang Ruoruo asked very detailed questions, and her service attitude was impeccable.

Although the old lady saw through her little scheme, she didn't particularly dislike her.

"About your age, fair-skinned, about 1.66-1.68 meters tall..." The old lady's description was fairly accurate.

Zhang Ruoruo felt that what the old lady said was similar to her own experience, so she smiled and suggested, "If the person isn't here, I can help you try on the clothes for reference."

Do you need it?

Before Old Mrs. Shen could speak, Shen Lu had already walked in: "No need, I can try it myself."

"Shen Lu, it's you?" Zhang Ruoruo's expression changed drastically.

She already knew that Shen Lu had a relationship with the big boss of the project in the west of the city.

Her father only swapped some materials, which wasn't a big deal, but he was held accountable.

Her godparents also cut off all contact with her family because of this incident.

"This is my grandma," Shen Lu introduced. And wasn't that her?

She may have become Zhang Ruoruo's nightmare by now.

I wonder if Zhang Ruoruo would dare to provoke her again.

Zhang Ruoruo wanted to scream.

Why is Shen Lu everywhere?

The old lady's jewelry set looked very valuable; who would have thought she was Shen Lu's country grandmother?

But this old woman doesn't look poor. How could she be from the countryside?

Her demeanor doesn't resemble that of a nouveau riche.

A person's temperament sometimes really needs to be cultivated; the inner qualities that money can cultivate cannot be acquired in one generation.

Based on her deduction, this old lady's family had been wealthy for at least three generations.

"Are you particularly surprised?" Although Shen Lu had long since stopped caring about these people, she was still quite happy to see Zhang Ruoruo get the short end of the stick.

After all, she's still a young girl who's not even twenty yet.

It's normal for such a clear explanation to exist.

"I am a little surprised." Zhang Ruoruo was now at a loss for words.

She couldn't deal with Shen Lu, and remembering her lesson from last time, she should keep her mouth shut now.

But she was also somewhat unwilling to give up.

Why is Shen Lu able to live such a good life?

Back when Shen Lu was still the daughter of the Shen family, she had to rack her brains to please Shen Lu.

Shen Lu is no longer the daughter of the Shen family. Wasn't it said that her family of origin was from a remote mountain village?

How could such an old lady come from a remote mountain village?

Are those people blind? Can't they see the depth and substance in others?

Those people?

They're not blind, but who wouldn't want to step on others and elevate themselves?

Others like the countryside, but Shen Sisi doesn't.

Therefore, she would subconsciously portray Shenjia Village in a negative light.

Does Shen Sisi have no idea what kind of life she's led since she was a child?

The children in Shenjia Village are all more well-mannered than those in other families; she couldn't possibly be completely unaware of that.

But she felt that the country roads were muddy, transportation was inconvenient, and she couldn't buy anything she wanted.

Shen Sisi only sees the negative aspects, so it's inevitable that her communication with others will be inaccurate.

Shen Mingguang was too hypocritical and greedy. He saw that Old Madam Shen was not ordinary, but his wife had already offended her.

Moreover, what he's eyeing is more about profit.

The Shen family's house was extraordinary, but it was meaningless since it wouldn't end up in his hands.

However, it was the dowry house of Old Madam Shen that caught Shen Mingguang's eye.

Didn't he want to fight for it back?

It's the kind of thing where you get something for nothing.

Unfortunately, nobody paid him any attention.

Shen Lu could see right through Zhang Ruoruo's thoughts at a glance.

"Forget it, I'm not going to try." Shen Lu said, somewhat disheartened.

At this moment, Zhang Ruoruo spoke up unwillingly: "It's okay, we can try it even if we don't buy it."

SUNNY is quite lenient with its customers; you can try on any clothes on the first floor, but it's different on the second floor.

Zhang Ruoruo's words were clearly meant to provoke Shen Lu.

Are you trying to say I can't afford it?

She felt that Zhang Ruoruo must have been born naturally from her mother's body; if her brain hadn't been squeezed, she wouldn't be so prone to fantasy.

Why do I always feel that other people are not doing well?

Is it because she's not doing well herself that she doesn't want others to be well?

“That’s not what I meant.” Zhang Ruoruo pursed her lips. “Shen Lu, we’re friends, I know about your situation.”

"So it's okay if you really can't afford it."

Doesn't this still mean she can't afford it?

Shen Lu wanted to roll her eyes.
