Chapter 81 - This Is The Money Machine That You’ve Hooked Up With?

Zuo Xiaoqing’s face turned red.

Paying for these fabrics out of her own pocket was as good as cutting her flesh with a knife!

Luo Chenxi smiled as she said, “Zuo Xiaoqing, you’d be better off knowing your limits because these fabrics are really pricey. So, there’s no need to make a fool out of yourself if you really can’t afford them. The worst that could ever happen to you is to be blacklisted and chased out of the shop. Well, at least that’s better than being in debt, right?”

These words were indeed not pleasant to the ears, but Luo Chenxi truly meant what she said from the bottom of her heart.

However, to Zuo Xiaoqing, taking advice from a person whom she thought to be filthy poor was equivalent to taking a slap on the face.

She suddenly felt her face burning as she took out a credit card from her backpack and slammed it on the table.

“I’ll… I’ll swipe my own card! Even without Young Master Chen, I’ll still buy these fabrics!”

She gritted her teeth and glared at Luo Chenxi. “Do you think I’m like you? I have a credit card too, and it was Young Master Chen who got it for me. It’s even got a swipe limit of 200,000 RMB, unlike you! I’ll bet yours probably won’t even go through ten thousand, will it?”

Just as she finished her sentence, a beep was heard.

The shop assistant frowned and handed the card back. “Miss Zuo, this card’s limit is insufficient.”

“What? How can it be? This card is supposed to have a limit of 200,000 RMB!”

“But, the total price of these fabrics is 240,000 RMB. The 200,000 RMB limit really isn’t enough. Do you have any cash?” The shop assistant cast a disdainful look at Zuo Xiaoqing.

Luo Chenxi felt like laughing again. “200,000 RMB, what a high limit!”

Zuo Xiaoqing was so angry that her expression became crooked. However, seeing as she was the one who said those words in the first place, she could not bring herself to snap back at Luo Chenxi.

Under the shop assistant’s consistent urges, Zuo Xiaoqing searched everywhere in her purse for cash, swiped all the credit cards she had and barely managed to amount everything up to 240,000 RMB.

“Thank you for your patronage.”

Zuo Xiaoqing felt her heart bleed as the shop assistant handed the fabrics over to her.

After all of that, she stood rooted to the ground and turned to Luo Chenxi instead of walking away. “Alright, I’ve settled my bill, shouldn’t it be your turn now? Tsk, tsk, you do realize you have to pay as much as 158,000 RMB, right? I’d like to see how you do it!”

Luo Chenxi secretly frowned at the sight of Zuo Xiaoqing refusing to leave.

She coerced Zuo Xiaoqing into paying first to stall for time. On the other hand, she also hoped that Zuo Xiaoqing would leave as soon as the woman settled her bill.

That was because she briefly recalled that Zuo Xiaoqing knew her as ‘Luo Chenxi’. It would be troublesome if she accidentally spilled the beans in front of Mu Yichen later.

However, with Zuo Xiaoqing’s level of intelligence, Luo Chenxi reckoned there was no chance that she could see through her actual relationship with Mu Yichen.

Hence, Luo Chenxi decided it was better to avoid any unnecessary trouble.

“Are you sure you want to stay here? Shouldn’t you be dealing with your matters with Young Master Chen? Perhaps, it was just a moment of anger that will subside after a while, so you should try coaxing him back to your side. You might still stand a chance.”

Zuo Xiaoqing clearly wavered from her words, and she was about to turn to leave after a moment of thought.

Just as Luo Chenxi breathed a sigh of relief, she heard footsteps coming from the shop entrance.

There was no way Zuo Xiaoqing would leave after noticing the footsteps. She immediately became excited. “It seems like your money machine has arrived! I’d like to see what kind of man you’re capable of hooking up with.”

The door pushed open and a man walked in.

As soon as he entered, he quickly walked toward Luo Chenxi.

Seeing this, Zuo Xiaoqing immediately started laughing so hard she could barely stand straight. “Hahaha, don’t make me laugh, so this is the rich one that you’ve hooked up with? Are you kidding me? Isn’t this guy old enough to be your father? Tsk,tsk, such bad taste, I can’t believe that you would want to sleep with an old man like this!”
