Can you afford it?
A slender and fair hand reached out and pointed at the items in Qin Yan's hand.
Qin Yan raised an eyebrow as coldness overtook her.
She looked up and turned her body. Three beautifully dressed girls stood beside her.
The girl who had pointed at Qin Yan was Qin Muran.
When Qin Muran saw Qin Yan's face, her face fell and she stumbled back in fear.
With a pale face, she called out timidly, "Sister."
Qin Yan stared coldly at Qin Muran's pretense, her eyes turning icy.
Yang Lin, who stood beside Qin Muran, stepped forward to shield Qin Muran protectively.
"What do you want to do?"
Qin Yan handed the box to the shop assistant and instructed calmly, "Wrap it up for me."
The other girl, Mu Yuyin gave a sarcastic laugh.
"You don't even have a fiance, so why do you want this couple set? Or are you trying to ignore reality and want to use this to win over Xi Yaohua?"
Yang Lin snorted coldly. "What a joke! Brother Yaohua loves Muran so much, how would he reconcile with her? Give up now!"
Qin Yan knocked on the counter and gave the shop assistant a cold-eyed stare. Her face fell before she said,
"I said, wrap it up for me."
Shocked by the overbearing vibe emitted by Qin Yan, the shop assistant frantically took the box from her.
Seeing this, Yang Lin suddenly yelled,
"This is what Muran wanted! She's the future Young Madam of the Xi family's Global World Entertainment! Are you sure you want to offend the Xi family over this woman?"
The shop assistant's face darkened abruptly. She had heard about the Global World Entertainment. It had been developing very well. Also the Xi family was the wealthiest family of the country.
Yang Lin's voice wasn't soft and there were few people in the jewelry store. Upon hearing the words "Future Young Madam of the Global World Entertainment", everyone looked over.
Xi Yaohua, the current CEO of Global World Entertainment was a good-looking man with a huge fortune. Recently, there were rumors online that he had taken good care of Qin Muran, his fiance and was a good and loyal man.
A dashing, gentle, caring man who was from a reputable family, his future wife would naturally be envied.
Qin Muran was certainly full of anticipation and envy, or she wouldn't have tried so hard to seduce Xi Yaohua.
Sensing the reaction of the surrounding people, Qin Muran blushed shyly. Her glowing gentle beauty was apparent.
"Lin Lin, stop it."
She sounded anxious and fear filled her face again. She stared at Qin Yan anxiously, as if she was afraid of agitating her.
"Muran, you and Brother Yaohua are an official couple. Is there anything we can't say? Telling her now will force her to face reality sooner and to remind her of her worth!" snorted Yang Lin disdainfully.
Qin Yan dumped her bag on the counter impatiently, with her arms crossed as she stared icily at the few people.
"I didn't want the man and I don't care about what you think. Since you've put in the effort to seduce and put on a pretense, I shall give them to you! It's been tough on you. But if I insist on not letting something go, you can forget about getting a single cent from me!"
"As for me trying to win Xi Yaohua back? Ha…"
Qin Yan sneered coldly and said, "Are you saying that I'm spending time, effort and money to please a man that I don't want? How different is that from me hurling money onto a pile of feces? Only you all treat him as though he is in high demand!"
"You…"
Qin Muran was so angry that her neck felt like it was going to explode. "Who are you calling feces?"
Qin Yan gave her a look and asked, "Is that all the wits you've got?"
The onlookers burst into laughter. Even a fool could understand her.
Embarrassed, Qin Muran pointed a finger at Qin Yan and spat, "You… you actually said that Brother Yao is feces… you…"
"Yes, that's what I meant! I also mean that only insects regard feces as a highly sought after thing. Have you not realized this?"
An… insect? Wasn't that…
Qin Yan felt her head throbbing slightly. Talking to these insane people was a waste of time.
Seeing Qin Muran's red face, the Mu Yuyin rebutted, "Qin Yan, stop being jealous. Don't forget that you were his girlfriend back then!"
Qin Yan closed her eyes resignedly and frowned.
"So, you insist on using Xi Yaohua being a pile of feces as a basis to attack me?"
"You…" Mu Yuyin's face was splotched with red patches. She was rendered speechless by Qin Yan.
Why was this woman so sharp-tongued?
Qin Yan looked past Yang Lin's shoulder to Qin Muran and sneered.
"Don't worry, I've never seduced him before. Someone else is trying her best to be that kind of insect."
Qin Muran's face darkened as she detected the ridicule in Qin Yan's eyes. She couldn't wait to tear her apart! She wanted to tear her apart!
That b*tch!
Qin Yan turned her head to look at the helpless-looking shop assistant. She said coldly, "I'll say this one last time. Wrap it up!"
Just then, a few other shop assistants strode towards her.
A woman in a black professional suit with a cold expression stood in front of her.
"Miss, this set is priced at 999,999 yuan. There is no discount and they don't allow you to pay in installments. May I ask… if you can afford to buy it?"
The woman in black looked at Qin Yan's outfit and could not decipher which brand's clothes the latter was wearing. So she thought that Qin Yan was wearing some cheap unbranded clothes. Even though Qin Yan's face was gorgeous, but could beauty earn money? And if she had money, would she wear such cheap clothes. All in all, the woman in black looked at Qin Yan as if she was a poor person.
On the other hand, she had heard that the other lady was the future young madam of Global World Entertainment. Her two other companions were not ordinary people, judging from the branded items on them.
In hindsight, even if Qin Yan could afford this set with her entire fortune, they would end up offending the Global World Entertainment's future young madam and two others.
If they sold the set to the Qin Muran now, the few of them might continue to be her customers.. It would then promise her with satisfactory sales figures.
Qin Yan could hear the disdain and sarcasm in her words. She frowned slightly and raised her head to look at the woman who spoke, as her gaze trailed to her badge.
His gaze swept across it— Store Manager.
Yang Lin, who was standing aside, suddenly snickered with glee. She gloated and said, "Qin Yan, next time, you have to ask for the price before you decide to buy anything. Don't learn from others by buying whatever you fancy."
She said as she turned to the manager with a smile. "Look at her, does she look like someone who can fork out that much money?"
The manager sized Qin Yan up quickly before saying determinedly,1
"Sorry, Miss, we're not selling this set to you."
She had analyzed the situation thoroughly just now. There was no need for her to offend the future Young Madam of Global World Entertainment and her friends over a penniless woman.
Coldness flashed across Qin Yan's eyes.
"So… you're telling me that you're not selling it to me because you want to sell it to her?"
"Yes."
Qin Yan gave a cold laugh and replied patiently, "I was the one who came and saw the item first."
Irritation flashed across the store manager's eyes as she said, "But you haven't paid!"
Qin Yan looked at the three gloating faces and pressed on. "But they did not pay as well. Why should you sell it to them?"
The manager took a deep breath, annoyance apparent on her face.
"Miss, as these ladies said, you don't have a fiance now. What's the use of buying these couple items?"
This time, even the sneer on Qin Yan's face disappeared as she said, "An internationally-renowned jewelry brand has a salesperson of your standard, and you're a store manager to boot? Since you're so bad at judging people, it seems that this brand isn't good enough!"
But the manager wasn't affected. Instead, her eyes were full of sarcasm.
"Miss, you don't have to belittle our brand to increase your style and status. Yes, if that's what you insist, I can't do anything about it. I can only say that our brand isn't worthy of your noble status and style."
Finishing her sentence, the manager decided to ignore Qin Yan. Instead, she walked to Qin Muran and gave a bright smile.
"Miss, how do I address you?"
"My name is Qin Muran."
