Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Whose Family Gives Out Allowance Like This?

Hearing Yun Zijin’s words, Su Mengyao thought she made a good point.

All these tall, well-built guys were indeed perfect for carrying bags.

Su Mengyao scanned them carefully. From Zero One to Ling Qi, they remained expressionless from start to finish, as if they weren’t the ones being stared at.

"You found some great bodyguards. Their composure is just on another level, isn’t it?"

’I’m staring at them so openly and from so close, yet they don’t even react.’

"Which security company are they from? Maybe I should ask my dad to hire a couple for me too?"

’Even if they’re not needed for much, they’re certainly easy on the eyes~’

"Oh, they’re not from any commercial security company. They were left to me by an uncle I once saved."

’When you’re out and about, you create your own identity.’

’Even if someone tried to investigate, with Randomly Spend around, I doubt they’d find anything useful.’

Since Yun Zijin put it that way, Su Mengyao didn’t press the matter. If they were left to her by someone, they were probably trained by some prominent family.

Bodyguards trained from a young age like that were in a different league when it came to both their skills and their loyalty, incomparable to the ordinary bodyguards from security companies.

"Enough of that. Today, our mission is to shop, shop, shop!"

The fact that Su Mengyao was the heiress of the Su Group was no secret in Guangyuan Mall, so the moment she walked in, numerous staff members rushed to greet her.

’The young miss is here! If we’re lucky, our sales today are going to be through the roof.’

"Just as I promised! Yesterday, you helped me see Yang Jiaqian for the scheming bitch she is, so I’m going to spend a fortune on a gift for you."

"Just tell me if you see anything you like. I specifically asked my mom, my dad, and my brother for pocket money today, so my wallet is stuffed!"

Yun Zijin couldn’t help but chuckle at Su Mengyao’s words. Who else gets their allowance by asking every single person in their family for a share? Probably only Su Mengyao could pull that off.

’Look at Sheng Yang. He’s already blown through this month’s allowance and has to survive by going home for meals every day.’

"What are you laughing at? This is how our family gives out allowance. Don’t you... I mean, don’t other people get their allowance this way?"

"Oh? Why don’t you ask Sheng Yang how he gets his allowance?"

’When she runs out of money, she can just go home, act cute, and get more. But if Sheng Yang dared to act cute, he’d probably have a new horn on his head the next day—one from getting beaten black and blue.’

At the mention of Sheng Yang, Su Mengyao grew a little embarrassed. How could she possibly ask him something like that!

"Well, do you know why Sheng Yang asked me to invest in his bar?"

"Wasn’t it because he... ran out of money?"

Su Mengyao then remembered. At Wu Zicheng’s birthday party yesterday, Sheng Yang had kept calling Yun Zijin "Sister Yun" and said that his bar was only able to open because of her investment.

’He had to find an investor just to open a bar. Doesn’t that just prove he was broke!’

Su Mengyao muttered under her breath, "If you run out of allowance, you just ask your family for more..."

"Oh, my silly girl! Why don’t you think about your status in your family, and then think about Sheng Yang’s status in his?"

Su Mengyao could only have developed such a personality because she was doted on at home.

Although Sheng Yang was also spoiled by his family, the way he was "spoiled" was different from how Su Mengyao was.

"Oh, alright! Worst-case scenario, I’ll just get a few of my girlfriends to go to his bar and boost his revenue."

’It’s fine if Sheng Yang doesn’t have money. I do!’

Su Mengyao’s thinking was very simple. She liked Sheng Yang, so spending a little money on him was no big deal.

"I guess that works. But no matter how strictly a bar is managed, it’s still a place with all sorts of people. Remember to bring a few guys with you when you go."

"If that doesn’t work... just tell me when you’re going. If I’m free, I’ll go with you."

Yun Zijin still felt that no one was more reliable than her team of bodyguards.

Su Mengyao nodded. Of course, she knew that the most important thing when going to a bar was ensuring her own safety.

The two chatted as they walked, casually wandering into a jade shop.

"Miss Su, welcome! We just received two extremely high-quality bracelets today. Would you like to see them?"

Su Mengyao gave a cool nod. "This is my friend, her surname is Yun. What kind of bracelets came in today? Bring them out for me to see."

When facing others, her aloof demeanor was perfectly executed, making her seem like a completely different person from who she was in front of Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin didn’t see anything wrong with that.

"We always set aside the best items for you. You won’t see these out on the display floor."

The implication was that they needed to go to the shop’s "back room."

"Zijin, do you want to take a look?"

Su Mengyao didn’t know if Yun Zijin liked jade bracelets.

She personally loved buying them. Even if she didn’t wear them often, just having them in her jewelry cabinet at home was pleasing to the eye.

Besides, many formal gowns couldn’t be complemented by flashy diamond jewelry, but jade accessories could bring out the best in both.

"Let’s have a look. Didn’t they say there are two? If the material is really good, it would be perfect for each of us to get one."

Although Su Mengyao had said she would buy her a gift, Yun Zijin had no intention of letting her buy something too expensive.

Though the salesclerk had never seen Yun Zijin before, the fact that she was with Su Mengyao suggested she wasn’t short on cash either.

"This way, please, ladies."

In jade shops like this, the items on display were usually of average quality. The truly good materials were often reserved before they were even made into finished products. These two had originally been ordered by someone, but for some reason, the buyer had backed out.

Even though someone had backed out of the order, they were definitely new and had never been worn. As long as the size was right, there was no issue with purchasing them.

Of course, this was something only the internal staff needed to know. The customers just needed to decide whether they wanted to buy them or not.

The salesclerk led the two into the "back room," poured them each a cup of hot tea, and then brought out the two jade bracelets she had mentioned.

The clerk placed the two boxes she was holding on the table, along with a tray in the center.

After putting on gloves, she opened both boxes and carefully placed the two bracelets onto the tray in the middle.

"These are two reddish-purple bracelets carved from the same piece of rough stone. The color saturation is very high, and the translucency and texture are superb. The young miss from the Xia Family saw them last time and wanted to buy them too, but unfortunately..."

’The Xia Family?’

’It couldn’t be Xia Jiajiao, could it?’

"The Xia Family? You mean Xia Jiajiao? Doesn’t she always fancy herself the number one socialite in Dijing? Why didn’t she buy them?"

’With Xia Jiajiao’s personality, how could she possibly give up on something she wants?’

’From the way Su Mengyao talks, it seems she knows Xia Jiajiao too? And it looks like they don’t get along.’

"We’re selling them for two million each, but Miss Xia thought that was too expensive. She wanted to get them for one million. I couldn’t get that price approved even if I went to the store manager..."

"Tch! That’s just like her, as shameless as ever! Two million each, right? I’ll take them both!"

’When the time comes, I’ll wear them and flaunt them in front of Xia Jiajiao’s face. I can just imagine that look on her face, like she wants to devour me but can’t do a thing about it.’

Just imagining the scene made Su Mengyao feel like she would be laughing in her sleep tonight.
