Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Su Jingyun, Car Racing

At Su Mengyao’s words, the sales clerk’s eyes lit up.

’They’re both young ladies from wealthy families, the one from the Su Family and the one from the Xia Family, so how could they be so different?’

"Of course, Miss Su. I’ll wrap them for you right away. Would you like them boxed together or separately?"

She had been observing the interaction between Su Mengyao and Yun Zijin and guessed that Su Mengyao was buying two bracelets so she could give one to Miss Yun.

’The sales clerk felt a pang of envy. Why didn’t she have a wealthy best friend who would drop millions on her without a second thought?’

"Separately! One for each of us!"

Just as the clerk suspected. Su Mengyao didn’t hesitate in the slightest. Her whole reason for coming shopping today was to buy a gift for Yun Zijin.

Su Mengyao felt these two Red and Purple Jade Bracelets were the perfect choice.

"Of course!"

As long as the payment went through, the clerk would naturally wrap them however the customer wished.

After inspecting the bracelets, Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao followed the clerk out of the "little black room."

Su Mengyao was already rushing to pay, and Yun Zijin hurried to catch up.

"Let me pay for my own. I can’t accept such an expensive gift for no reason. It would be too much."

Yun Zijin pulled the Black Gold Card from her purse and handed it to the cashier. "We’ll be paying separately."

Yun Zijin had no intention of paying for Su Mengyao’s bracelet, either. Since her friend had decided to buy both on a whim, it was clear Su Mengyao could easily afford the two million.

"No way! I told you I was buying you a thank-you gift today. What’s the point if you pay for it yourself? Don’t worry, I’ve got the money!"

When Su Mengyao woke up this morning, she told her family everything about yesterday, from the incident with Yang Jiaqian to meeting Yun Zijin, leaving no detail out.

So when she announced she was going shopping with Yun Zijin, three of her family members transferred money to her account. Their excuse was that she couldn’t have her new friend thinking she was a poor host.

She hadn’t checked the balance, but she estimated there was at least ten million in the account now.

"I’m not refusing your offer to buy me a gift, but this is just too expensive. I should really pay for it myself.

If we see something else that’s suitable later, you can buy that for me instead. It’s the same thing."

If it had been something in the hundreds of thousands, Yun Zijin might have just accepted it. But a two-million-yuan bracelet—she wasn’t that shameless.

Seeing that Yun Zijin’s tone was serious and resolute, Su Mengyao finally had to compromise. "Fine. You can pay for it this time. But you’d better not try to argue with me next time."

"I promise I won’t," Yun Zijin said, extending the Black Gold Card to the cashier again. "Please, ring it up."

Seeing that the two had finally come to an agreement, the cashier swiftly began to process their payments.

The payments went through smoothly. When they left the store, each carried a small, exquisite, custom-packaged bag.

When women go shopping, there’s truly no end to it.

They spent a solid two hours in Guangyuan Mall alone and showed no signs of fatigue.

After finally shopping to their hearts’ content, they headed to Qili Women’s Beauty Salon for a full massage package, melting away the entire day’s exhaustion.

"Hey! My brother and his friends went car racing! They went to do something exciting and didn’t even invite me. Zijin, isn’t that just awful?"

Su Mengyao tapped on the social media post she was looking at and showed it to Yun Zijin.

The post was a photo of a man, seen from the side, sitting in a supercar.

The shot was taken from a distance, so you couldn’t make out the man’s face.

"It’s probably because you said you were going shopping with me today. That’s why your brother didn’t invite you, don’t you think?"

Yun Zijin didn’t want to say anything to upset Su Mengyao.

"Hmph! We can go shopping any day, but my brother and his friends don’t go racing at the club all that often.

No way! I have to find out which club they’re at. We’re crashing the party!"

Yun Zijin: ...

’Oh, well.’ She had never seen a car race before, so she could just treat it as a new experience.

It was unclear who Su Mengyao asked, but a moment later she exclaimed, "Got it!" Their half-finished massages were abruptly cut short. She pulled Yun Zijin up, and after a quick rinse and change of clothes, they were out the door.

The massage therapists at Qili Woman could only watch as the two women slipped from their hands and left the salon.

Fortunately, the service had been paid for in advance. It didn’t matter if the massage wasn’t complete—after all, it wasn’t their money.

「Fengxing Club.」

Su Mengyao dragged Yun Zijin along, moving like a bolt of lightning, and they quickly arrived at the racetrack where Su Jingyun and his friends were.

"Brother!"

Su Jingyun thought he heard his sister’s voice. But then he remembered that Su Mengyao was supposed to be out shopping with her new friend today and figured he must have been mistaken.

Su Mengyao called out, but when Su Jingyun didn’t respond, she got a little annoyed.

"Su Jingyun!"

’He just had to make me use his full name!’

This time, Su Jingyun definitely heard her. He looked in the direction of the voice and, sure enough, there was his lovely little sister.

Su Jingyun’s eyes lit up, and he started walking toward her.

Yun Zijin was a little surprised to see Su Jingyun.

She had seen him before, at the Lu Family’s charity auction.

The two of them had even bid against each other for a headpiece set, but she was the one who had ultimately won.

She never expected him to be Su Mengyao’s brother.

As he got closer, Su Jingyun noticed that his sister wasn’t alone. She was with... no, not just one person, but a whole group.

"Sister, and this is...?"

Su Jingyun discreetly observed Yun Zijin. ’Anyone who can bring bodyguards into Fengxing Club is no ordinary person.’

"Brother, this is my new friend I was telling you all about, Yun Zijin. I saw He Zhang’s social media post and realized you guys were here at Fengxing Club racing.

Why didn’t you tell me earlier, Brother? If I’d known you were racing today, I would have been here in a heartbeat!"

Of course, she wouldn’t have just abandoned Yun Zijin. She would have explained the situation and brought Zijin along to Fengxing Club with her.

"Zijin, this is my brother, Su Jingyun."

As she spoke, Su Mengyao gave Yun Zijin a playful wink.

’Looking at them now, why do I feel like my brother and Zijin actually look kind of good together?’

Su Jingyun could tell at a glance that his sister was letting her imagination run wild. He felt a bit helpless but still extended a hand to greet Yun Zijin. "Hello. I’m Yaoyao’s brother, Su Jingyun."

"Hello. Yun Zijin, a friend of Meng Yao’s."

Yun Zijin gracefully extended her hand to shake his. The touch was brief, lasting only a moment.

"Brother, who are you racing against today? And what’s the stake?"

In their social circle, the younger generation of each major family had their own cliques, and they would form racing teams to compete against each other.

The stake was whatever they bet that day. Sometimes it was cash, sometimes a supercar, sometimes even a house.

The wagers were all over the place. Sometimes, you’d get someone with a strange idea who would even bet a business partnership opportunity with their family’s company.

They wouldn’t even ask if anyone else wanted the partnership opportunity.

"A team led by Xia Zhiyun of the Xia Family. The stake is twenty million in cash."
