108 Buying An Album
The girl looked at the pretty boy in front of her and felt that she liked him very much. She could use this opportunity to meet him and play with him in the future.
Upon hearing Leon’s rejection, tears gathered in her eyes in a few seconds. She pouted and cried, “But I really like it. The shop assistant said this was the only one left. Give it to me, and we can play together more often in the future.”
She didn’t explicitly ask for it, but the girl’s every move showed she wanted the photo album in Leon’s hands.
Leon wasn’t a good-tempered person to begin with, so he couldn’t be bothered with her. He wanted to walk around her and continue walking forward.
The girl stopped him again. “Don’t you know Aileen? I’m her sister.”
When Aileen heard this, she was so shocked that she quickly looked at Leon’s expression. For some reason, she felt Leon was not an easy person to talk to. She mustered her courage and pulled the little girl’s hand. “Flora, I’m not close to him. You can’t snatch his things.”
Flora was a little angry when she heard this. She turned to look at Aileen and said in a disdainful tone, “Useless. You’ve transferred to another school for so long, and you still can’t get along with your classmates. I don’t care. You and brother must get the photo album.”
Flora was the youngest daughter of Aileen’s uncle. Even though she came from a middle-class family, she had been pampered since she was young. She felt she was much better off than Aileen, who came from a poor family and often had to took her and her brother’s old clothes.
Not to mention that they were just ordinary classmates. No matter how good their relationship was, there was no reason for him to snatch something from someone else’s hands.
Aileen smiled at Flora and said, “Sister, I’ll go to the other shops to find some for you. There must be more than one shop that has it.”
Leon didn’t want to care about the sisters’ business, so he walked around Flora to pay the bill.
Flora felt extremely aggrieved. No boy would reject her once she asked for it. Even if they did reject her for the first time, they would immediately give in when they saw she was about to cry. Her mother had told her that all gentlemen would give in to girls, especially the weak and beautiful ones.
Flora had the ability to cry at will. Large teardrops rolled out of her eyes as she followed behind Leon. “Brother, I want this photo album. I can give you double the price.”
It was no longer important to Flora whether she wanted the album or not. What she wanted was for others to compromise and give in to her.
Flora’s parents were shopping for clothes on the other side of the shopping mall. When they came back and saw the scene, they quickly went forward.
Edison did not even ask about the matter. When he saw his beloved daughter cry, he immediately scolded Leon, “You little brat, what did you do to my daughter?!”
Leon held the photo album tightly in his hand and took a deep breath. Thinking that he and Vivian still had to retrieve the photos later, he didn’t want to waste time on this weird family. He took out his wallet from his pocket and paid.
Seeing that Leon didn’t respond, Aileen was a little anxious. She was afraid of causing a bigger conflict and explained what had happened just now in a soft voice. However, she didn’t mention that they were classmates because she was worried that her uncle and his wife would use this as an excuse.
After Flora’s parents heard this, they first looked at Leon. They realized that he wore branded clothes, but it was only a few hundred dollars. His family had that kind of purchasing power too.
Carol comforted her daughter and turned to her husband, “He just wants to get more money. We’ll pay him a few times more to make him give up.”
Seeing that Leon was about to leave, Edison stepped forward and pulled him back.
His own schedule had been delayed again and again, and Leon’s eyes revealed a viciousness that had rarely appeared since he came to S City.
Leon looked at the middle-aged bald man with a big belly and said in a cold voice, “Let go.”
Leon’s voice was not loud, but Edison felt a chill run down his spine and unconsciously let go of his hand. When he realized what was going on, he felt a little embarrassed and raised his voice to cover up his loss of self-control. His tone was still high and mighty as he said, “Don’t make me use the hard way. If I can’t buy it for twice the price, I’ll pay three times, okay? A photo album can earn you more than 40 yuan. For a family like yours, your monthly pocket money should be around this price.”
Vivian frowned as she walked to Leon’s side. She pulled him behind her and coldly said, “If you’re sick, go get treatment. Do you think you can rob others just because you have money?”
