My billionaire husband spoils me too much -
Chapter 774
Chapter 774It was not easy for them to come to the most bustling shopping mall in the city center. So Christinaand the other students, who were poor, looked at the dazzling array of high-end goods and weredazzled. They all had a strong desire to spend money, but they couldn't afford them.Even May, who had always been strict with herself, was addicted to the glittering jewelry displayedin the window, but she immediately woke up with just a glance at the price tag.Even if they couldn't afford them, they could look at them.“It's 11:30 now. We can stroll for another hour, and then we can go to have dinner. We should startto go back to school before 2:30. You, Christina, must report to the student union at 3 o'clock.”These poor students made a detailed and proper time arrangement, and Cindy shouted, “Let's notgo to that Cantonese restaurant because we should wait for the dishes to be served for a long timeHow about buying some snacks casually in the square? How wonderful it is for us to eat whileshopping.”“No, that's too embarrassing.They would be chased out if they were eating while strolling in such high-end shops here.Although they were frugal and a little poor, Christina suddenly smiled and felt that she was living acomfortable life. She liked to go shopping with Crystal and the others, coveting the goods in thewindow and exclaiming the absurd high price. She didn't mind the contemptuous gage of others.“I want to see this necklace.” It was rare for May to take a fancy to a platinum necklace with an angelwingpendant.The waitress immediately took the necklace out of the counter. Just as she was about to explain theadvantages of the necklace, someone behind interjected, “I want this necklace. Wrap it up for me.” Itwas a shrill female voice.May turned around and saw that it was a mature woman dressed fashionably, and her face looked alittlefamiliar.Cindy recognized her first, pointed at her, and exclaimed, “You, you are the second female lead inthe 8:30 TV series.”The newly popular actress was recognized so she smirked, but she didn't greet Cindy. It wasinappropriate for her to talk to a poor student in public.The manager of this flagship store also walked over and immediately recognized the star. Sheimmediately smiled brightly, “Miss Wallick, you grace us with your presence.”Tm your fan. We are very honored to give you what you like as a small gift. Can you take a picturewith me later?I want to hang it in our store.”Before she answered, the shop assistant had packed up the platinum necklace with the angel wingpendant sensibly and handed it over with both hands.Wearing sunglasses, the female star raised the corner of her lips to signal that she was in a goodmood and wasabout to reach out for it.“This is what we chose first.”Christina suddenly said. She was agile and held tightly the red cashmere box that contained thenecklace.The female star in front of her was obviously shocked. Even the shop assistant did not expectsomeone to break in and snatch the necklace quickly.The store manager's face was dark but she tried to ma ntain a calm tone, “Miss, we want to giveMiss Wallick this necklace as a present. Please hand it over.”May and the other students felt pressured when facing the veterans in the workplace andimmediately tugged at Christina's sleeve, “Give it back to them. Let's go see something else.”Christina didn't look at them and asked, “Don’t you like it very much?”May was momentarily stunned by her question.She did like the necklace very much. May usually spent most of her money on books, and shealways came first in examinations. She could take part in this year's SAT at ease because she hadbeen admitted by a key university at home. It was rare for her to meet the jewelry she liked, and shewanted to give it to herself as a reward for her hard work in the past three years of high school.But now others liked it, so she didn't dare to fight for it.It was a celebrity, and how could they, the ordinary people, provoke her?“Christina, return it.” May urged Christina anxiously in a low voice.Crystal had always advocated peace, so she reminded Christina in a gentle voice, “There are manyshops ahead. There might be better ones.”When Christina heard what they said, she was going to return the necklace. However, the femalestar who thought she was already a top star sald, “You can't afford it. Don't dirty my box.”Christina immediately was enraged by her words, “Who said we couldnt afford it?”Beauties were easily hostile to other beauties. The new actress looks at Christina's face and her tonewas even harsher."How much money can students like you have? Don't waste your parents’ hard-earned money. Youshouldn't come to this kind of place. Do you believe that I'll ask the security guards in the square tochase you out?”Cindy was also furious. She cast the card with 100,000 dollars that her father gave her on thecounter and shouted, “What if we are poor students? We can afford a small necklace. Swipe thecard, swipe the card.”The people on Christina's side wanted to buy it, but the people of the store would not sell it tothem. After weighing the pros and cons, of course, they had to be partial to the beautiful andfashionable actress in front of them.“Miss, you stole from our store. I have the right to call the police.”The manager looked at Christina coldly with a threatening tone, “Please return the thing to usimmediately.”“Don't slander us!”How could a few young students be the match for the veterans in the workplace?"Who stole your thing? We're going to buy it. We have money.” Cindy panickedThe arrogant female star didn't need to say anything, and the people in the store immediatelylaughed at the students, “You have money. How much is that?” They were obviously mocking them.“The necklace is from our shop. We have the right not to sell it. If you dare to make any moretrouble, we will call the security guards immediately and even send you to the police station. I hopeyou will be sensible.” titleThe counter manager spoke tactfully and sophisticatedly with a smile on her face, but the corners ofher lips were full of contempt.Christina opened the jewelry box in front of them and took out the platinum necklace. She brokethe thin platinum necklace in two immediately hard with her both hands.The people present were dumbfounded.No one expected that the female student would break the necklace in front of them.“I'm sorry, it's broken.” Christina deliberately shook the broken necklace in two.“You, you, compensate!”The manager at the counter was so angry that he pointed at her and shouted."Okay." Christina said calmly and agreed.It seerned that in this half a second, the people in the shop were even angrier and wanted to scoldher. This girlwas really ruthless.Christina was in approval of all or nothing.Didn't they want to sell it to them? She could break it.The female star in sunglasses looked sullen, but she couldn't get angry in public. She held back heranger and looked as if she was going to pounce on Christina and scratch Christina's face with herlong fingernails.The atmosphere was tense, and the passing guests couldn't help but look over. May and Crystal,who had never seen the world, were even more nervous.“Cindy, swipe the card. I am hungry. Let's go to have dinner.” Christina said. Cindy immediatelyresponded and clamored to pay the bill.Christina looked as if she was saying “I am a poor student, but I am not afraid of anyone”. Sheglared back at the female starPushing and dragging May and Crystal away, they entered the elevator and went to the dining areaon the top floor. Only then did May gradually come back to her senses, “Here you are.” Christinahanded her the necklace and box.“The necklace broke at the middle point. It's easy to mend it at any jewelry store. You can't see theflaw because there was the pendant.”Christina could tell that May mainly liked this angel wing pendant.Christina never appreciated jewelry. She thought that it would be fine even if the necklace wasbroken because it could still be worn.May held it in her hand, but her eyes suddenly turned red, as if she had been greatly moved. Shecalled Christina's name intermittently, “Ch... Christina.”Christina had always caused trouble for her as her roommate, but now she was greatly moved byChristina and some tears welled up in her eyes.Christina smiled and patted her on the shoulder, “You are once the invincible president of thestudent union in our school, but you were scared by those women. What should you do if youencounter wolves and beasts in the future?”Crystal took a deep breath and finally said, “I was so scared at that time.”It wasn't that the girls were cowardly. It was Christina who was bold,"How much did you pay just now?” Christina quickly pulled Cindy. She was more concerned aboutthe money spent.Cindy reached out two fingers.Christina frowned, “Two thousand dollars?”“It's 18,999 dollars.” Cindy had just checked the text message and found that it cost about 20,000dollars.On the spot, Cindy just wanted to vent her anger and she didn't even look at the invoice. Looking atthe digit now, she was really reluctant.Christina looked guilty and regretful. She turned around and said solemnly, “May, I'm sorry for you.”If she had known it was so expensive, she wouldn't have fought for it with the idiot star.May smiled, “It's okay. I know the price.”"Why is such a small necklace so expensive? It's a rip-off.”“It was brand premium.” May carefully put the necklace into her pocket and was relieved. She saidto Cindy, “Cindy, I'll transfer the money to you when I get home next week.”Cindy, the “richest’ girl in their dormitory, waved her hand very generously. “Okay, okay, no hurry.You can give it to me after the SAT.”For ordinary students like them, buying a necklace worth 20,000 dollars was really too much. Thegoods in the central square were too high-end, so they had better not look at them. They wentstraight to the Cantonese restaurant they booked to have dinner to vent their anget.The rents of the shops here were ridiculously high. The restaurants on the top floor were all inlaidwith gold. The dishes were extremely expensive, but they tasted good.There were a lot of people coming to this Cantonese restaurant for dinner. No wonder they had tomake a reservation. Most of the people who came in for dinner were upper-class people. Christinaand the others looked out of place because of their clothes.When they came in, the doorman especially went up to ask them if they came to the wrong store.This place was indeed not suitable for students.“We have made a reservation.” Thanks to Cindy's rich father.They were placed at a table at the door waiting for the dishes.It was the peak period of having dinner. They confronted the female stars in the jewelry store,The female star came in, holding a man. At this moment, she was whispering, and it was obviousthat she was fawning on this man, Cindy quietly kicked Christina, who was sitting opposite her, withher toes and whispered,“Isnt the man she’s holding the blonde handsome guy in Porsche we saw at the school gate?”Christina stared blankly. She couldn’t remember people's appearance well, but the playboy had lightgold hair and a row of dazzling diamonds in his ears, which was really impressive.He was just trying to scare her at the school gate. He was shameless.Just now, he was flaunting himself at the entrance of the campus and found a star in an hour. Sureenough, this man was not simple. Christina disdained this kind of playboy the most.When they were waiting for food, Christina propped up her head and stared at the two people asshe was seeing a play.The female star held the man’s arm, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. Her ferociousappearance before had disappeared, and she put on a charming smile to please the man now. Shedid not pay attention to Christina and the others, who were the small roles for her, at all.Charles still wore a charming smile and walked towards the restaurant with his female companion.He looked around as if he was looking for someone.“Birds of a feather,” Christina said contemptuously, feeling that the person they were looking forwas not a goodone.To Christina's surprise, the man at the innermost table seemed to have said something, and theplayboy immediately let go of the woman beside him. The female star was very embarrassed andindignant. She stomped her feet and walked out.They sat far away and there was a partition between tables, so Christina could not see the side faceof the man at the innermost part clearly. She vaguely felt as if she had seen him somewhere.Cindy tugged at her arm excitedly, “Christina, look, the star has been kicked out.”Christina was pulled so hard that she did not take a closer look at the man at the innermost place.“It seems that she was driven away by the man inside.” Looking at the embarrassment and anger ofthe female star at this moment, they knew that she had been dumped.“Tsk tsk, she is worse than poor students like us.” Cindy was gloating.The waiter quickly served the dishes they ordered. They immediately tried their best to restrainthemselves from eating too recklessly. Now, no gossip could disturb their enthusiasm for eating.Compared to their happiness, the two men at the innermost table were not interested in theirdishes at all. Theyordered eight dishes and a soup, but they only ate two bites of vegetables,*Patrick, I'm sorry about that. I haven't been back for a long time so I have forgotten it.” Charlessmiledawkwardly.LAPatrick had a freak. He hated to interact with women, and he didn't like to have dinner with strangewomen.In the past, they took their girlfriends everywhere to play But even during the sweet and passionateperiod, they did not dare take them to Patrick in fear of provoking him
