Shen Qingyue turned around and indeed, it was Wei Jiu’er and Ling Bing’er. They had both noticed Shen Qingyue and Chen Ying a long time ago. However, one pretended not to see them, while the other intentionally snatched the items they were looking at, trying to show off in front of them. It could only be said that when it came to being obnoxious, these two had never disappointed anyone.

Wei Jiu’er feigned surprise, “Qingyue, are you also here to buy jewelry?” After all, in the presence of Ling Bing’er, all she had to do was appear slightly weak, and there would naturally be fools willing to stand up for her.

Shen Qingyue did not pay any attention to her and called over a store attendant, “How much is this necklace?”

The attendant replied, “1.5 million.”

This price was a bit steep for Shen Qingyue. Today, she only intended to spend a few tens of thousands with Chen Ying. After all, she did not need these pieces of jewelry, so there was no need to buy something so expensive.

However, before she could speak, Ling Bing’er, with a smug expression, said,

“Oh, it’s so cheap! I’ll take it, please wrap it up for me.”

The store attendant hesitated and looked at Shen Qingyue, “Miss Shen, do you also want this necklace?”

Shen Qingyue’s eyes flickered slightly, “Yes.”

Ling Bing’er, thinking that the store attendant was looking down on her, immediately became irritable, “Why did you ask her first if she wanted it? Do you think I can’t afford this necklace? Don’t judge a book by its cover! I have money, I could buy you out!”

The previous generation of the Ling family had done relatively well, but in the generation of Ling Bing’er’s mother, they had not fared as well. The Ling family had no business acumen, and if it weren’t for the support of the Qin family, they would have long disappeared from the business world. Now, they were nothing more than an empty shell. This also caused Ling Bing’er to have low self-esteem and a sense of superiority. She was particularly sensitive and insecure, but at the same time, she was also arrogant and conceited, especially with Wei Jiu’er’s subtle influence around her, these emotions had grown stronger.

Now, in response to a single sentence from the store attendant, she felt it was a personal attack.

However, Ling Bing’er had overestimated herself. The store clerk did not recognize her at all. Although she disliked Ling Bing’er’s attitude, she maintained her professionalism and politely said, “Miss, there seems to be a misunderstanding. In cases where two customers are interested in the same item, we need to prioritize our VIP customers…”

Ling Bing’er scoffed mockingly, “Oh, so Shen Qingyue is a VIP at your store? I heard her family has fallen on hard times. Maybe one day, the whole business district will be unable to see it. It seems your store’s VIP customers aren’t worth much, huh? Quite disappointing…” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The store clerk’s face turned even uglier. She had never encountered such an uncouth customer before. Previous customers, no matter what they wanted to say, never spoke so directly. Nevertheless, no matter how rude this customer was, she had to endure it.

Chen Ying, on the other hand, had fewer reservations than the store clerk and taunted, “Ling Bing’er, you make it sound so easy. Why don’t you become a VIP too? Then it would be yours directly.”

“You think I can’t afford it?” Ling Bing’er sneered and turned to the store clerk, “How much does it cost to become a VIP at your store?”

“At our store, you need to spend over 5 million to upgrade to VIP status. Miss

Shen has been a loyal customer for several years, and her total spending is over 10 million…”

In other words, Ling Bing’er needed to spend more than 10 million to surpass Shen Qingyue and secure this necklace.

Ling Bing’er fell silent. Today, Qin Zhen had only given them 3 million to pick out jewelry for Wei Jiu’er’s wedding. Even if she added all the money she had, she could not come up with over ten million.

Chen Ying tapped her fingernails and smiled, “Why so quiet? Aren’t you wealthy? It’s just ten million. How much could that be? Is your family running out of money? Your parents not giving you pocket money…”

Ling Bing’er said bitterly, “I… I just didn’t bring enough money today! I’ll come back another day!”

Chen Ying made a meaningful ‘Oh’ sound and just smiled without saying anything.

Ling Bing’er felt like she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks burning. She thought of something and pretended to be composed, “Forget it, the purpose of Jiu’er and me coming here today wasn’t just for this necklace. We’re here to buy the jewelry Jiu’er will wear for her wedding! My brother gave us over 3 million. We’ll spend even more on wedding rings and wedding dresses later! What’s a small amount like this? Hmph.”

Shen Qingyue smirked, “I don’t quite understand. How much Qin Zhen spends on Wei Jiu’er has nothing to do with you, Miss Ling. Why are you so proud? Licking up to Wei Jiu’er, does she give you any money? After all your effort, I bet you can’t even afford this necklace, can you?”

Ling Bing’er could not hold back anymore and was about to retort..
