Chapter 209 Picking Up A Fool for Nothing
The boss’s face darkened. He was just being polite because there were too many customers in the shop just now. He was afraid that it would affect the shop, so he said it casually.
Unexpectedly, this young lady actually asked for something exorbitant. His expression instantly turned ugly. The boss smiled hesitantly and said, “Young lady, that piece of fabric was booked by a famous designer in the country. It can’t be given to you. Why don’t you take a look at the ones below? They’re very suitable for beginner designers like you to practice with.”
Shi Man smiled faintly and did not care about the gazes of others. She smiled and said, “You were the one who said that we could choose a fabric for free, right? Why? Are you going back on your word so soon?”
The boss was a little embarrassed in front of everyone. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and lowered his voice to persuade her. “Young lady, you have to stop while you’re ahead. Otherwise, you won’t be in the right if this matter blows up.”
“Are you threatening me?” Shi Man raised her eyebrows with interest.
Su Tang hurriedly tugged at her sleeve. “Manman, forget it. This boss is just being kind. If you like it, I can buy it for you.”
“Do you have money now?” Shi Man turned to look at her in amusement, but this time, she did not pester her.
Originally, she did not lack the money to buy fabric. With the bank card in her hand, not to mention buying an expensive fabric, she could even buy the entire shop. She only wanted to test if the shop owner was in cahoots with those people.
Zhu Wen, who had been silent all this while, felt that if he continued to remain silent, he would have done his heroic act in vain through Shi Man’s buffoonery. He quickly interrupted, “Boss, this girl was frightened just now. Since she likes that fabric, why don’t you take it off? I’ll pay for it as a way to calm this girl down.”
Su Tang looked at Zhu Wen in disbelief. Was this person stupid? Who would take the initiative to spend a huge sum of money to calm people down after doing a heroic deed? Was he both stupid and rich?
A smile suddenly appeared in Shi Man’s eyes. She turned around and looked at Zhu Wen for the first time. Her dark eyes swept across him gently with a heart-shaking pressure. “Alright, thank you in advance.”
“You’re welcome.” Zhu Wen was overjoyed.
This time, the boss did not say anything else. The reason why he said that the designer had reserved it was that he did not want to give it away for free. Since someone was willing to pay, he naturally took advantage of the situation.
After handing over the money and the goods, Zhu Wen took the initiative to carry the two bags. He walked to Shi Man’s side and smiled warmly. “My name is Zhu Wen. What’s your name?”
Shi Man glanced at him with a faint smile and ignored his obvious question. She brought Su Tang to the next shop.
Su Tang was still not used to having an additional person around. She had been carefully avoiding Zhu Wen and felt that this person was not as sunny and enthusiastic as he looked.
Shi Man did not care at all. With a laborer who carried bags for free and a fool who fought to pay, why not?
The three of them shopped the entire floor before Shi Man reached out to Zhu Wen. “Give it to me. We’re going home.”
“Huh?” He really couldn’t imagine what this woman thought of him. A wave of anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, but he suppressed it. “Why don’t I treat you to a movie upstairs? You must be tired after shopping for so long.”
Shi Man turned her head to look at Su Tang, who had been swallowing her saliva. She remembered that she had mentioned watching a movie just now and nodded easily. “Alright, let’s go upstairs.”
Zhu Wen immediately felt that he had succeeded halfway. He even began to regret taking the wrong path in the past.
He should have known that even if Shi Man had already set up an engagement with Yi Zheng, their relationship might be extremely bad according to his brother’s guess. In that case, Shi Man might not directly refuse a boy who took the initiative to approach her!
If he had known that it would be so easy to get close to Shi Man, why would he have been deceived by Shi Jing?
Zhu Wen cursed Shi Jing in his heart while thinking about how to get Shi Man.
At the same time, Yi Zheng, who was far away in the office, was looking at the surveillance video in the mall expressionlessly.
Tang Zhe had discovered a video of a hooligan teasing a young girl in public on the Internet. Only then did he suddenly realize that the female lead of the incident was actually his future Madam.
He did not dare to waste any time and immediately sent the surveillance video to the CEO’s office. However, what happened next would surprise everyone.
Was his future wife shopping with another man in public? Did they even walk into the cinema together?
Tang Zhe secretly looked up at his master, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot. His fragile little heart could not help but beat faster.
Was it too late to snatch the surveillance video back?
