Look, look...
Finally, Little Green, her face nearly as green as her name, carried a huge bag of clothes as she followed Liu Xiyun out of Starlight Plaza mall.
On the way, Liu Xiyun called home. She summoned bodyguards who arrived in two cars.
Little Green watched the whole time. Liu Xiyun happily directed the scene. In her heart, Little Green reaffirmed: never trust a woman’s words.
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t buy anything?”
Little Green’s face was now a sickly green. She stared at Liu Xiyun directing bodyguards like movers.
With three bodyguards hauling bags, they’d reached the roadside parking spot.
Shoppers exiting the mall gaped in shock at the chaotic moving scene.
“Yes, I said I wouldn’t buy anything~” Liu Xiyun smiled sweetly at Little Green. In that gaze, Little Green spotted a scheme!
Sure enough!
This was revenge!
Payback for making her cry earlier!
Great.
Now she had no idea how much debt she’d owe.
Chanel, Gucci, Donna Karan, Versace, Dior, Giorgio Armani... Liu Xiyun dragged her through nearly all top global fashion brands.
Staring at the mountain of receipts, Little Green felt utterly ruined.
Damn it! Scamming people like this was low!
“But I never said I’d buy anything!” Little Green’s heart shattered, her face greener than ever.
How much did this even cost?!
“Weren’t you nodding the whole time?” Liu Xiyun turned, grinning. “You thought they looked good. Didn’t refuse. Just use them. Qin Ling will cover it.”
...
I was too embarrassed to say no!
It wasn’t like I wanted them!
Well, I dug my own grave...
Is this debt repayment?
“Fine, your call... Total cost? Later I’ll tell Qin... Brother Qin...”
Saying “Brother Qin,” the words felt heavy on her tongue.
So heavy!
All that money’s weight!
Crushing her!
She could barely speak it. Her pronunciation probably ruined her cute-girl act now.
“Just call it debt repayment,” she muttered. “My fault for upsetting her... Sigh...”
“What’re you muttering? Cursing me?” Liu Xiyun approached, smirking at Little Green’s pale face.
“No way! I’m so grateful!”
True.
If not for exposure fears, she’d blurt: “Scamming Qin Ling is scamming me!”
“By the way, total spent?”
“Just give me the bill.”
Little Green asked nervously, eyes fixed on Liu Xiyun.
Liu Xiyun pulled out her phone. Checked the bank alert. Handed it over.
“Not much. Under ten million.”
“Just nine point nine million.”
“What!?”
Little Green forgot her ladylike act. She crossed her arms and leaped back wildly!
Realizing Liu Xiyun’s confused stare, she coughed lightly.
She glided over gracefully. Patted skirt wrinkles from her jump.
Hands clasped behind her back, she bent cutely. Looked up with wide, clear eyes at Liu Xiyun.
“Sister Xiyun~ How can I repay this? Maybe... maybe we...”
“No!” Liu Xiyun cut her off. “We agreed: Young Master Qin pays!”
“You don’t repay. Tell Qin Ling. He’s loaded!”
...
Little Green’s cute face froze. She looked bereaved. “But the usable amount isn’t that high...”
“How do you know?” Liu Xiyun tilted her head.
“Brother Qin told me...” Little Green’s voice dripped regret.
Nine point nine nine million!
When could she ever manage that?!
“How much is there?” Liu Xiyun seemed awkward.
Little Green forced a pitiful grin. “Ninety thousand!”
“What!?”
“Ninety thousand!?”
“No.”
“Little Green, are you bluffing??”
Seeing Liu Xiyun’s disbelief, Little Green knew she was shameless. But to dodge the debt, she rushed on.
“How about... Sister Xiyun~ we return most? Keep only ninety thousand worth.”
“Return?” Liu Xiyun frowned. “Can you even return bought items?”
“Yes! Say it’s too much. I’ll handle the excuse!”
... Liu Xiyun sighed. “Little Green, you’ve never shopped there. No returns for personal reasons—only defects.”
“Then what...”
Little Green felt a heart attack coming on.
If she faked death now, would Liu Xiyun bury her? Then she could crawl from the grave and restart life elsewhere?
