Chapter 18
I just have to compromise with this brother.
“Mom, my sister and I are going out first, brother-in-law, you just enjoy yourself in the White family.” Jim took my hand and walked outside.
“Come back early for lunch.” Mother’s voice rang out.
“I understand.”
There’s a big gap in my heart. My mother never speaks to me in such a tone. I almost suspected that she would pick me up or not.
As I drove to the last mall, I was afraid that I would run into the devil here again, but I felt reassured when I remembered that he was so busy that he would definitely not show up here again.
When I got to the mall, I was ready to drag Jim to a store where I could afford it, but Jim did not like it at all.
“Sister, the second floor is full of bargains. We need to go to the top floor.”
The top floor is full of high-end, custom-made clothing, and you need at least five figures for one piece. Where am I going to get the money?
“Jim, I do not have that kind of money. I only have enough money to buy you clothes on the second floor.”
“Oh, it’s all there. Let us just take a walk, even if we do not buy it.” Jim forced me to the top floor.
There are obviously fewer and fewer people on the top floor, all upscale customers, and the regular people are afraid to go up this floor.
Jim is obviously a frequent visitor here. As soon as he entered the store, he was greeted by a saleswoman. “Mr. Jim, we have a new style in our store. Come and take a look.”
“Jim, the situation at home is so bad now. The clothes here are too expensive. Let us go downstairs and look around.” I did not usually buy clothes that cost over a thousand dollars, but Jim never cut back on his spending.
“Sister, I’ll try.”
“Then just try it and do not buy it.”
As soon as Jim entered the store, he was like a queen. “Show me that one.”
“Good Mr. Jim, you have good taste. That’s a new model that arrived yesterday. It’s the only one in a store.”
Jim tried this and that, and the store was bustling.
I looked at a dress in the window, which I wore alone, and women were born to like dresses.
It is a white skirt with simple style and good sense of design. A very special flower is embroidered with colorful triangles.
Yimi Flower.
Few people have seen this flower, or even heard of it.
This delicate flower blooms in the desert of Africa, and it takes five years for the roots to be “planted,” and it is not until the spring of the sixth year that a small flower with four petals blooms.
The flowering period is only a few days, which is like a flash in the pan.
I was stunned, I do not know at what time, in my oblique direction from the roof of the café, a man stood on the roof with his back to me, looking down at me with a serious expression.
Kenneth’s pov
“Mr. Kenneth, do you have any questions about this collaboration?”
“No, you can go ahead and contact my assistant for the rest of the process.” I didn’t turn around. At this moment, I only have one person in mind.
“Thank you very much, Mr. Kenneth, then I won’t bother you any further.”
Chris’s Pov
I really like this skirt. A saleswoman approached me. “Miss, do you like this skirt? If you like it, then I’ll take it off for you and try it on. There is only one skirt in this store. This skirt will look very good on you if you look at it. It just so happens that we are having a sale at the store. It’s only 88, 800 with a discount. The price is really reasonable.”
More than 88, 000, and it’s even the discounted price, I quickly looked away. “I am just looking at it, not buying it.”
Jim looked straight at me and said, “Sister, go and pay, I just want these two.”
How can people with a total of $8, 000 on their cards buy them?
I hurriedly went back to the store where Jim was looking at clothes, wanting to take Jim with me.
As soon as I got back to the store, a person’s voice reached my ear, “Look, isn’t this our school beauty Chris, why? The White family recently turned over economically?”
It was my classmate Helen, the daughter of the Smith Group, who approached me because his favorite sentry confessed to me in freshman year and I refused.
Helen had been upset about this matter. She had disliked me since her freshman year and was often cynical.
Knowing the decline of the White family, I often work part-time outside, and she hit me hard.
Usually I can just walk away without paying attention to her, but now Jim is still trying on clothes.
When Helen saw that I did not say anything, she scolded me directly, “Chris, do you really think you are darling daughter of the White family? I heard from my father that the bank will not give a loan to the White family and the White family will soon be bankrupt?”
“Helen, if you have so much time to study my family, you should also study hard and catch up on your college credits. After all, you will not even get your diploma.”
Helen has failed every exam. According to school regulations, she can not graduate with her records.
Helen disagrees, “Is it so important to graduate? My family has enough money anyway. I can always go to work at my father’s company. Unlike you, you have to apply everywhere to find a job.”
The down-and-out girl is worse than normal people. Helen always likes to attack me with this weakness.
I was having a conversation with her when Jim came out of the locker room. “Nurse, will you help me check if my suit looks all right?”
The salesman hurried over and complimented him, “It’s very nice, Mr. Jim. This suit is just right for you, and the little suit you like just now is good, too. Mr. Jim bought it together.”
“What a coincidence, I like it, sister, you bought it for me, and these clothes cost more than a hundred thousand.” When Jim opens his mouth, it is hundreds of thousands.
My face changed a lot. “Jim, what did you promise me?”
“Sister, I like it so much, just buy it for me.”
“Jim, I…. Shall we go now?”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Since the salesman is here, I am embarrassed to say I do not have any money.
