Chapter 75: 75 All Wrapped Up
The cashier at the counter, upon hearing their request, led the couple to the couples' clothing section and started showcasing the store's latest matching outfits.
Lin Yi even accompanied Han Xuewei in trying on many styles, and even received a call from the jewelry store while fitting. He simply asked them to wait for a moment.
Han Xuewei was of course very happy trying on the couples' outfits. This scene reminded her of the last time they went shopping together, and a sweet feeling naturally emerged, as if they were deeply in love.
After trying on clothes back and forth for over half an hour, Lin Yi picked out the ones he felt were suitable and looked better on them, then directly said to the female cashier, "Pack up all these in our sizes, please!"
Han Xuewei immediately tried to dissuade him upon hearing this, "Isn't this too much? One or two sets would be enough; we can't wear all of these."
Lin Yi, however, appeared nonchalant, "If anything, we can just wear a different set every two or three days, no problem."
Seeing Lin Yi's stubbornness, Han Xuewei had no choice but to watch the cashier pack up all the selected couples' outfits and her own clothes.
After some calculations, the cashier quoted the couple, "Sir, all your clothes are packed, and you've been automatically enrolled as a member, enjoying a 20% discount. The total is 310,000. Will you be paying by QR code or card?"
Without a second thought, Lin Yi pulled out a card from his wallet and handed it over, "Card, please!"
The cashier was momentarily taken aback when she saw that Lin Yi had produced just a regular bank card, but after swiping it, the screen immediately displayed the word "Success!"
310,000, swiped just like that!
And without using a credit card! He paid directly with a debit card!
Could this be what wealthy people are like?
The cashier promptly handed over all the packaged clothes to Lin Yi, very respectfully saw them off, and then watched them take the escalator towards the jewelry specialist floor.
The envy in her eyes was unmistakable!
Watching the couple's retreating backs, the cashier mumbled, "I wonder when my Prince Charming will show up. Good men like this are truly rare..."
After her moment of reflection, she returned to the store and got back to work earnestly.
No sooner had Lin Yi stepped out of the store than he heard the system's notification in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations host, you've successfully increased your wife's joy level, earning one system reward gala entry ticket."
"A gala entry ticket? What kind of gala entry ticket?" Lin Yi was slightly startled upon hearing this and expressed his confusion.
"Charity ball."
Hearing this, Lin Yi was even more puzzled. Weren't these system rewards a bit too random?
Could it be the system was hinting that he should take Han Xuewei to attend? It would be a perfect opportunity for his wife to wear this beautiful set of diamonds.
If that was indeed the case, then he should take his wife to choose a gown later on!
With this in mind, Lin Yi carried several shopping bags from the mall, leading his wife towards the Zhen Ai Baby Jewelry store.
As soon as they entered the store, they noticed the presence of not only the previously encountered Manager Guo but also several other department managers. At the same time, there were many more security guards in the jewelry store.
With a 890 million diamond in hand, anyone would enhance security measures.
To say one wasn't anxious would be lying.
```
Seeing Lin Yi enter the store, those people quickly came forward to greet him.
"Mr. Lin, the True Love Baby series diamond you ordered has arrived. Please confirm and sign here after checking."
Lin Yi nodded and replied, "Hmm, okay."
On
Manager Guo and his party led them straight into the VIP room, while the security guards stood honestly by the door, with others waiting outside.
Just at this moment, a woman happened to pass by the entrance of the jewelry store.
She was Lin Yi's ex-girlfriend—Li Jingwen!
However, Li Jingwen didn't come here alone, at this moment she was clinging to a man's arm, inadvertently walking into this store.
The store clerk at the entrance, seeing the stylistic appearance of the two, greeted them quite enthusiastically.
"Good evening to you both."
Li Jingwen didn't bother to respond to the approaching clerk, instead, she directly lifted her hand to check the ring on it, then said, "Do you have any five-carat diamond rings here? If so, bring them all out. Let me see what styles you have."
The man accompanying Li Jingwen had been playing with his phone, head down, ever since he entered the store, seemingly uninterested.
As soon as Li Jingwen walked in, she caught sight of Lin Yi being ushered into a room, swarmed by a group of people, and couldn't help but look over several times.
Right after that, she leaned into the ear of her companion and whispered a few words. After hearing this, the man laughed contemptuously, "Humph, even if he hasn't gone bankrupt, my family's assets are probably miles ahead of theirs!"
This man was also an alumnus of theirs. He came from a wealthy family and was quite ostentatious, which made him a well-known figure in the campus.
His name was Yang Fan.
His family was indeed rich, with total assets exceeding two billion yuan. Yet even so, looking at the whole of Xiangcheng, the business his family ran could only be considered ordinary, classified as third-rate in the industry.
Lin Yi's father's company was, before its decline, roughly equal to Yang Fan's family business.
When Lin Yi's family company began to falter, Yang Fan had known early on; since then, he looked down on Lin Yi quite a bit.
However, what surprised Yang Fan was that Li Jingwen had mentioned that Han Xuewei, the recognized campus belle, was also with Lin Yi!
After hearing this, Yang Fan suddenly felt infuriated!
After all, he was once one of Han Xuewei's suitors!
Moreover, from freshman year he had pursued her relentlessly, but as the four years of university were about to draw to a close, he still hadn't won her over.
As a rich second-generation, Yang Fan didn't stick to his original intention of pursuing only Han Xuewei; he also dated other girls, even more than one!
Han Xuewei always saw Yang Fan with different girls by his side, so she never had the slightest bit of affection for this rich second-generation from the start to the end.
Li Jingwen, noticing the obvious change in her boyfriend's expression after hearing the news, asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Yang Fan said coldly, "Why is today so unlucky? I didn't expect to run into her! Han Xuewei!"
Li Jingwen, after hearing this, shrugged indifferently and then said, "What's so surprising? I've long heard the rumors that these two have already had a child together! They're on a break from school now! I just can't understand, when did the two of them start an affair? It hasn't been that long since I broke up with Lin Yi, has it? How come they already have a child now?
They sure move fast!"
