The Mightiest Little Peasant

Chapter 188: Buying Clothes

Li Li glared at the man next to her, then turned to look at Tang Hao.

She inspected him carefully, then furrowed her brows and looked elsewhere.

‘He’s too young to be her boyfriend. He’s probably her relative,’ she thought and did not mind him anymore.

Then, she looked toward Han Yutong and flashed a fake smile.

“Long time no see, Yutong! I haven’t seen you at the student gatherings!”

“I’ve been busy!” Han Yutong smiled obligingly.

“Oh!” Li Li replied, “I say, Yutong, are you here to shop? Didn’t I hear that your family isn’t very rich? Why, can you afford anything here?

“The things here are very expensive! They cost a few thousand yuan at minimum, and can easily cost five digits or more.” Her voice sounded mocking.

“This is my boyfriend! His name is Chen Bin and he runs his own company. He earns tens of millions every year!” She hugged the arms of the man next to her as she spoke.

The man smiled politely, though he was sneaking glances at Han Yutong’s beautiful and slender legs.

He became even more eager when he heard that she was not rich.

To him, girls like her were the easiest prey.

“Look at this bag and this dress. They’re all bought here,” Li Li boasted while holding up the handbag in her hands.

Han Yutong smiled stiffly. “The handbag looks nice.”

“It’s nice, right?” Li Li chuckled and said happily, “This handbag costs five thousand yuan! That’s about a month’s salary for office workers. My honey gave it to me as a present.”

“Five thousand yuan, that’s nothing!” Chen Bin added urgently.

“Isn’t that so!” Li Li said with a smile, “My honey is loaded. Five thousand yuan is nothing to him! Right, honey?”

“Yes, yes!” Chen Bin said with a wide smile on his face.

Li Li turned to look at Han Yutong again. “Where are you working now, Yutong? Do you have a boyfriend?”

Han Yutong looked awkward. “I’m an assistant in a company. The pay is alright, but I don’t have a boyfriend yet.”

Li Li was happier when she heard that.

Li Li was not as beautiful as Han Yutong, but she thought she was the far luckier woman. Ever since she became Boss Chen’s girlfriend, she enjoyed her life every day without needing to work.

Meanwhile, her high school classmate was still caught in the rat race. She had to work for a meager salary and did not even have a boyfriend. That was totally pathetic!

Her eyes oozed with pity as she looked at Han Yutong.

Meanwhile, Chen Bin began to look excited.

A beautiful lady like her did not have a boyfriend? That was his perfect chance!

He straightened his clothes and assumed a manly pose.

“What are you buying, Yutong? I can give you some recommendations. I’m very familiar with this mall and I know the prices of the things they sell here,” Li Li said, her tone of voice filled with arrogance.

“There’s no need to. I’m just here to buy a dress,” Han Yutong said.

“A dress? I remember there’s a boutique over there that sells cheap clothes. But you should know that the shops here are all high-class, and the cheapest clothes will still cost you almost a thousand yuan.

“I can bring you there! I’m afraid you can’t afford clothes from other shops!”

“It’s fine, really!” Han Yutong said.

At that moment, Tang Hao opened his mouth and spoke to Han Yutong. “Let’s go upstairs and take a look!” Then, he turned around and prepared to head up.

“Ha!” Li Li grinned, her face filled with mockery. “Are you sure you want to go upstairs? The most luxurious brands are there. They’re too expensive. I don’t think you can afford it!

“Even I don’t usually go upstairs! And you think you can go there? It’ll be a shame if you go there and look without buying!”

Tang Hao stopped walking. He turned around and gazed at her coldly. “You don’t have to follow us if you think that’s a shame!” Then, he turned around again and continued walking.

“You...” Li Li’s eyes bulged out of anger.

Han Yutong quickly ran forward to Tang Hao’s side and they stepped onto the escalator.

Li Li gritted her teeth. A malicious expression flashed across her face.

“Why are you standing there? Let’s go up! I don’t believe that they can afford anything upstairs!” Li Li yelled at Chen Bin, then stomped ahead angrily.

They went upstairs and looked around. All of the shops there were famous luxury brands.

“Let’s go to that shop first!” Tang Hao pointed at the Chanel store, then walked straight inside.

“Ha! Does he think he can afford Chanel?” Li Li laughed mockingly when she saw that.

She found it incredibly funny. Would people like them be able to afford Chanel? That was a big joke!

One of them was an assistant in a company, while the other looked like a poor kid at first glance. Could they afford it? Pigs could fly!

Even she did not dare to step inside!

She continued following them, preparing to watch the drama unfold.

“Are you sure we’re going in?” Han Yutong hesitated at the store entrance. She knew that Chanel clothes were very expensive. Something normal would cost tens of thousands.

An evening gown there would cost at least a hundred thousand yuan.

That was almost a year’s salary for her.

“Of course. We’ve gone around the floors below, and we didn’t find anything interesting, right? This shop should have what we want!” Tang Hao said and went inside.

Li Li laughed out loud when she heard that.

She had thought the two people were there just to look. The kid sounded as though he wanted to buy something from there!

“Ha! Are you out of your mind? You won’t even be able to afford a scrap of cloth here, let alone an entire evening gown! They might even throw you out of the store judging by how shabby you look!” Li Li said as she followed them inside.

Then, she clung onto Chen Bin’s arm and said fawningly, “Honey... Since we’re here, why don’t you buy me a dress?”

Then, she looked tauntingly at Han Yutong.

Chen Bin’s face darkened and nearly cursed out loud.

‘Didn’t I buy you a handbag just a few days ago? And now you want new clothes? Can’t you be a little considerate toward me?’

He looked at the beautiful woman in front of them. He did not want to lose face in front of her.

He struggled for a while, then gritted his teeth and nodded. He looked around and found the cheapest dress. “How about this one, darling?”

Li Li was happy until she looked around and saw that it was the cheapest dress there.

“That won’t do! It’s the cheapest dress.”

“Darling, the cheapest dress here already costs thirty thousand yuan!” Chen Bin said painfully.

He cursed in his heart, ‘I wouldn’t have bought you such expensive clothes if not that I wanted to impress that beautiful woman!’

“Fine! This dress then!” Li Li said somewhat unhappily.

They called the sales clerk over and said, ‘Wrap this up!”

The sales clerk carefully took the dress and placed it in a shopping bag.

Li Li glanced at Han Yutong again and said shrilly, “Have you seen enough? If you can’t afford it, then get out! Don’t stand there and make a fool of yourself!

“I wonder who it was that said that they wanted to come here to take a look? You’re poor and you can’t afford anything here!”

She took the shopping bag from the sales clerk and said to her, “I say, you’re a luxury brand store. How could you let those people in? They can’t afford anything here anyway, might as well drive them out!”

The sales clerk was surprised. She turned around and looked at Tang Hao and Han Yutong.

She glanced over Han Yutong, but she was visibly shocked when she saw Tang Hao. Then, her eyes bulged.

“Mr. Tang!” She greeted him eagerly.

Then, she went over and bowed at him, as though the boy was an important guest.

Li Li was dumbfounded when she saw that.
