"Ladies, this way, please. I’ll take you to choose the styles you like!" Qiuya gestured invitingly.
Luofeng, the owner of the Funeral Store, added a jab, "Cousin, which messenger bag do you think looks the best?"
Liu Ying took a deep breath. She didn’t leave immediately but followed them instead. She wanted to see if this was a genuine offer or just a sham.
Ji Shunjin looked at Luofeng with suspicion. He began to suspect Luofeng was behind some trickery. Could it be that this young man was actually very rich? Initially, their preconceived notions led them to believe Luofeng was all show and no substance, but now something seemed off. If Luofeng’s Gucci attire wasn’t a knock-off, it meant he truly was wealthy.
However, Ji Shunjin didn’t dwell on it. After all, he was the one giving the Shangguan Sisters a ride in his car this time. From Ji Shunjin’s perspective, if Luofeng had money, he surely would have his own car. He probably wouldn’t bring such beautiful girls to hitch a ride in *his* car, right? After all, for a man, taking a woman he loves to hitch a ride in someone else’s car is a very embarrassing thing.
However, for Luofeng, what was so embarrassing about such a thing?
In the classic handbag section, Qiuya, leading the Shangguan Sisters, began to pick out classic messenger bags.
"Sister, we already have a fashionable one. Now, picking a classic one, wouldn’t that be too much? After all, Luofeng said that a classic one would last for more than a decade or two. Doesn’t that mean we won’t need to buy bags for the rest of our lives?" Shangguan Feier, seemingly having mastered the art of sarcasm herself, began to stir things up.
Before her sister could respond, Shangguan Feier continued, "If a classic can last that long, when I have a boyfriend in the future, I’ll ask him to buy me the trendy ones. Since classics last so long, there’ll be no chance for new ones if they don’t wear out. After all, if the old don’t go, the new can’t come."
"..."
Listening nearby, Liu Ying felt a pang of displeasure. She glared at her sugar daddy, evidently harboring some complaints. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Sister, I think it’s better to avoid common color combinations. Many people buy brown and light brown, so it’s easy for your bag to look like everyone else’s," Shangguan Feier continued. "I think the flap-cover style is better."
The flap-cover model cost 16,000 yuan. That was 2,000 yuan more expensive than Liu Ying’s. For the average person, that was a month’s salary, or maybe half a month’s.
Seeing this, Luofeng smirked to himself. Had Shangguan Feier also become a master of sarcasm?
At this moment, Liu Ying, seeing the sisters’ choice, was filled with rage but couldn’t let it show. Buying an LV bag should have been a happy occasion, but unexpectedly, she ended up being thoroughly outshone. She had even thought about posting to her Moments Circle, then basking in a wave of envy. But now she had no such mood. The only thing keeping her there was the anticipation of exposing whether Luofeng and the salesclerk were merely putting on an act to fool her. After all, she was really suspicious.
"Hello, we’ll take the flap-cover versions!" Shangguan Feier spoke up.
"Miss Shangguan has excellent taste!" Qiuya praised. "This bag, crafted from MO series canvas, infuses the classic style with youthful vitality. It’s currently the most popular model in the PM series!"
"Ladies, please wait a moment. We’ll fetch them for you right away!"
After saying this, Qiuya slowly walked towards the storage room.
Liu Ying looked at the sisters with suspicion, then at Luofeng. "What are you up to?"
Luofeng looked innocent. "Huh? Cousin, what’s wrong? What are you talking about?"
"Hmph, I’m dying to see what tricks you have up your sleeve!" Liu Ying said coldly.
Truth be told, the flap-cover model, being 2,000 yuan more expensive, undeniably looked a bit better than Liu Ying’s entry-level option. Although it was just a 2,000 yuan difference, it was enough to reveal the true colors of a greasy, middle-aged man like Ji Shunjin. Spending over ten thousand was already painful enough for him. An extra 2,000 wasn’t about not having the money; it just felt unnecessary. He could still boast just fine with the slightly cheaper bag; why waste money?
"This..." Luofeng was inwardly speechless; this form of address was a bit much to handle! Luofeng recalled a risqué saying: ’A sister-in-law’s affections are half for her brother-in-law.’
Liu Ying suddenly felt as if she was being targeted by the whole world.
However, was this the end of it? Of course not.
Qiuya then switched into what felt like an ’unmatched combo attack’ mode. "To the two Misses Shangguan, on behalf of LV, I will also gift you both ZIPPY series zippered wallets. We have specially selected cyan and ivory white to complement your MU handbags!"
After saying this, Qiuya took out two long wallets and handed them to the sisters.
Liu Ying knew these two wallets each cost over ten thousand yuan. The cyan ZIPPY wallet was priced around 10,700 yuan, and the ivory white one at 10,400 yuan. She had glanced at them while browsing the bags. To be honest, she really liked this type of zippered wallet; it used the same material as the handbags and looked very fashionable. It was only the price that had deterred her. A single wallet costing over ten thousand. Ha.
Liu Ying knew that Ji Shunjin would definitely not buy it. But now, the LV store? They were actually giving them away for free to the Shangguan Sisters? Liu Ying felt her mind reeling, unable to keep up.
"Have you gone mad? Giving away so much?" Liu Ying looked at Qiuya, her emotions flaring, and exclaimed.
Qiuya smiled slightly. "I apologize, Madam, but we at LV genuinely hope that the Misses Shangguan will use our products. This would help increase LV’s visibility among the college student demographic!"
That statement. Luofeng almost gagged. Which college student doesn’t know LV nowadays? Are they trying to drive people mad with such claims? But, is it the fault of luxury brands? It’s the fault of society’s restlessness. Not everyone enjoys showing off, but sometimes, if you don’t, you risk being looked down upon. Take relatives and friends, for instance. Try to keep a low profile? Ha! They might just walk all over you. The comparisons are endless, truly.
"Although our potential LV clients within the college environment might be fewer, they become economically capable after graduation. Once they have the financial means, they are likely to choose LV," Qiuya elaborated. "LV is more than willing to invest in long-term advertising through individuals like the Misses Shangguan. We at LV are very honored that these young ladies appreciate our products."
Liu Ying felt as if she’d been struck by lightning, the world collapsing around her. What was wrong with this world? Had it gone completely mad?
