Chapter 25
The two of them followed him into the store , where the saleswoman was already introducing Zhao Yuxin to the handbag she had her heart set on: "Madam, you have excellent taste. This is the latest summer collection."
"We just received these in stock. Our store only has two of them, and after the discount, it's only 68,000 yuan."
Zhao Yuxin replied with a demure expression: "That's a bit expensive!"
Chen Jiahao grabbed the bag and pushed it toward her, saying: "How is this expensive? Go ahead and wrap it up. Do you have any more expensive and better bags? Any limited editions?"
The salesperson was delighted to hear this and said: "Yes, yes! Our store's most prized possession is a commemorative limited edition handbag."
"Bring it over to see!"
Chen Jiahao said generously.
From the side came Zhao Kai's sarcastic voice: "See that? Trying to save face at all costs."
Zhao Yuxin turned around and exclaimed: "How loving! You're here to buy a bag for Tiantian too, aren't you?"
Tian Tian called over the salesperson and said through gritted teeth: "The other one of that same model, wrap it up for me."
Zhao Kai panicked when he heard this and immediately grabbed her hand, saying: "Sweetie, that bag doesn't suit you. There's no need to get the same one as her."
At 68,000 yuan, his credit card simply didn't have that kind of limit. To be honest, even if he had it, he wouldn't spend that much on a bag for Tian Tian.
With that kind of money, he could easily sleep with several girls while driving his BMW.
"Are you unwilling to buy it for me?"
Tian Tian started to get upset.
"That bag is ugly and doesn't suit you."
Zhao Kai gritted his teeth, glanced around, and picked up another bag, saying: "You're so beautiful, this one suits your style better."
The salesperson immediately showed a look of contempt. When Tian Tian saw the price of that bag, she nearly exploded with anger.
At 6,600 yuan, the price might be acceptable elsewhere, but at LV, it was bottom-of-the-barrel clearance merchandise, completely outdated.
"This one is so common, even the knockoffs are everywhere! I don't want it!"
Tian Tian shook him off and said: "I want the new model!!!"
Zhao Kai was instantly humiliated. He put the bag back, pushed her hard, and said:
"Enough, Tian Tian! Why are you making a scene here? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror and see if you even deserve it."
With that, Zhao Kai left without looking back.
Tian Tian stumbled from the push and was stunned. Chen Jiahao quickly stepped forward to steady her, asking: "Are you okay?"
Salesperson A spoke with disdain: "See? I always say you can't judge a book by its cover. That young man with all the designer clothes is so stingy."
Salesperson B chimed in: "Exactly, those designer clothes are probably fake."
"That's why you need to keep your eyes open and never judge people by appearances."
"Right, look at this young man. He dresses so ordinarily but loves his girlfriend so much."
"He's even willing to buy the limited edition. If he were my boyfriend, I'd even let him have my sister."
Tian Tian suddenly burst into tears, pushed Chen Jiahao away, and sat down on a chair, sobbing with her head in her hands.
Chen Jiahao was conflicted, and seeing his concerned expression, Zhao Yuxin immediately became alert.
Old feelings are hard to let go of. Her biggest competitor was Tian Tian, and the tears of a first love were incredibly powerful.
Out of professional courtesy, the two salespeople, seeing Chen Jiahao at a loss, went to comfort Tian Tian. After all, her crying here would affect business.
At this moment, the salesperson brought over the limited edition bag and eagerly introduced it: "Sir, this is the one."
"Our store's treasure. After the discount, it's 298,000 yuan."
Chen Jiahao didn't know what to do and absentmindedly took out his black card and handed it over.
Zhao Yuxin tactfully said: "Brother Hao, I don't need something so expensive. The one for over 10,000 is good enough for me."
Chen Jiahao's mind was in chaos, but he knew the main goal was to spend more money, so he replied: "Both of these suit you well. That other one won't do."
"Hurry up and charge it!"
The salesperson was overjoyed and immediately brought out the POS machine and started processing.
"Beep... UnionPay payment received, 366,000 yuan!!!"
Seeing Chen Jiahao take out his card and pay the bill with her own eyes was the last straw that broke Tian Tian. She cried loudly and ran out.
"Sweetie..."
Chen Jiahao felt terrible inside.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me that you two ended up like this."
As a top-tier green tea bitch, Zhao Yuxin now looked pitiful and ashamed, saying: "Brother Hao, why don't you go after her quickly? I'll apologize to her too. I really wasn't trying to target her."
Such obedient and considerate words naturally soothed a man's heart.
Chen Jiahao hesitated, then sighed: "No need. She wouldn't listen to me anyway."
Zhao Yuxin secretly gloated over her victory. By now, the salespeople had packaged the two bags and brought them over.
"Why don't you give the limited edition to Tian Tian? She'll definitely forgive you."
Zhao Yuxin stirred up more trouble.
The system hadn't bound Tian Tian yet, so no money could be spent on her. This was a major flaw. If he gave her the bag, there might be some punitive bug.
Chen Jiahao, having just started enjoying the good life, didn't want to take risks. Hearing her suggestion, he was startled and quickly regained his composure.
"This is a gift I bought for you. You're not allowed to give it to anyone else."
This domineering CEO attitude captivated not only Zhao Yuxin but also the other salespeople.
"Forget it, let's go back," said Chen Jiahao, who wasn't in the mood anymore. Looking at the time, it was already past nine. He said, "Let me ask my roommates if they want a late-night snack. If they do, I'll need to bring some back for them."
"Oh, okay, okay!!!"
Zhao Yuxin was a bit surprised. She had thought that after such a perfect day, Chen Jiahao would take her to a hotel.
She hadn't expected such an pure ending, which left her astonished. She thought to herself that the power of first love was truly great.
She had been so forward, yet when Tian Tian cried, he became somewhat lost. This wouldn't do... she needed to try harder, be more proactive, and not give him a chance to change his mind.
Because Tian Tian was upset, Zhao Yuxin felt uncomfortable inside. In the past, if she had received two such expensive bags, she wouldn't have cared about these details.
"Yuxin, take my ride back."
Zhao Yuxin looked expectant and nodded obediently, but to her surprise, it wasn't a luxury car with a chauffeur.
Instead, outside the hotel, next to the bus stop, Chen Jiahao unlocked a U-shaped lock and pushed out an ordinary electric scooter.
The only thing that wasn't conspicuous was that since getting the system, he had removed the delivery box, a way of returning to glory and leaving the past behind.
