Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 42

School uniforms were compulsory at Jiang Yao's high school. Hence, she hardly wore casual clothes. Because of this, most of her casual clothes had been purchased before marriage, and they were mostly from ordinary and modest brands.

After she got married, she had only purchased two sets of clothing in winter. It was not as if the Lu family was too stingy, but she focused more on her studies and did not have time for shopping. The winter clothes were bought for Chinese New Year and Mrs. Lu had taken her to the county department store to buy them during the winter holidays.

Although the clothes were purchased the county department store, their price tags was pretty impressive. When she had worn them to school, many female classmates were envious upon seeing the clothes.

As it was summer now, she was wearing a summer dress which she had bought when she was in sophomore year.

"Miss, this is the best department store in the city. You can't afford to shop here. Why don't you go and check out the big market? The clothes there and their price tags are better suited for people like you."

The saleswoman was a little agitated as she glared at the scanty-looking young girl who was reluctant to leave and scoffed, "Don't just stand here, leave! You're giving our brand a bad image. People who are clueless would think that we're selling junk. Also, let me warn you not to simply touch our clothes. You'll have to pay for any damage caused. You'll come and beg for mercy if you can't afford to pay."

As she mocked her, the saleswoman flung the price tag of the clothes arrogantly in front of Jiang Yao. Three digits, eight hundred dollars. This value was equivalent to several months of wages for some people. It was also an astronomical figure for the poverty-stricken people who lived on minimum wages.

Jiang Yao glanced at the cocky saleswoman and she felt her blood boil. She snorted and reached over to touch the clothes as the saleswoman glared at her furiously. "I like the material. Take it down, I want to try it."
