The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 439 - Chapter 439 Chapter 469 Seizing

Chapter 439: Chapter 469: Seizing Chapter 439: Chapter 469: Seizing Even a terra-cotta warrior has a hint of temper, let alone this manager who, though put in a difficult position, had worked in such a luxury store for so long and held his current position–it was simply impossible for Chu Yixue to intimidate him with just a few words. His earlier difficulty was nothing more than not wanting to offend customers on either side.

“Miss, feel free to browse.” The manager no longer wore the warm, pleasant expression from before, his demeanor had toughened considerably, “First come, first served. The other lady is currently viewing it, unless she explicitly states she doesn’t want it, I’m afraid we can’t sell it to you.”

Though firm, his words were spoken neither humbly nor haughtily, making it hard to find fault.

“You–” Chu Yixue was fuming.

She felt humiliated in front of Zhong Niangyao today and couldn’t stand it.

In the past, Zhong Niangyao was a wealthy young lady and she couldn’t compare. But now, she too was the Second Lady of the Chu Family, so why must she still be overshadowed by Zhong Niangyao?

Moreover, after the previous incidents, she no longer had any interest in keeping up appearances before Zhong Niangyao. The gloves were off; there was no need for pretense. She was more than willing to do anything that could annoy Zhong Niangyao.

Beside her, Li Jingming tugged at Chu Yixue and whispered, “Let it be, it’s just a brooch. Why make a scene here?”

Looking at Li Jingming beside her and then at the distinguished man standing next to Zhong Niangyao, Chu Yixue was filled with disgust. However, she and Li Jingming were still on the same boat, and she was counting on him to help her against Zhong Niangyao. So, for now, even if she was disgusted, she had to endure.

But on today’s matter, she really couldn’t step back, “You don’t need to worry about this; I have my own plans.”

Hearing Chu Yixue’s response, Li Jingming frowned. He wanted to say more, but seeing Chu Yixue’s displeased expression, he held his tongue.

He still felt that such behavior was very embarrassing. If possible, he truly wanted to leave immediately. However, he knew very well that he couldn’t persuade Chu Yixue, so he had no choice but to stay with her.

Lu Yichen swept his icy gaze over Li Jingming and Chu Yixue, then turned his head to look at Zhong Niangyao, his eyes immediately softening, “Do you like it? If so, let’s buy it!”

Zhong Niangyao smiled lightly as she set down the brooch, then turned to the somewhat bewildered salesperson with a smile, “Since that lady likes it, why don’t you wrap it up for her!”

“Ha!”

Not only the salesperson, but almost everyone present, except for Lu Yichen, was dumbfounded by this twist. They had thought it would be a battle over the brooch, but Zhong Niangyao had easily given up, making Chu Yixue’s previous behavior seem rather foolish.

Thinking about it, it also seemed that from the start, Zhong Niangyao never spoke a word, it was all Chu Yixue’s own show.

Seeing Zhong Niangyao give up so easily, Chu Yixue momentarily stunned, began to feel some regret.

She had wanted to snatch the brooch from the start just to spite Zhong Niangyao and to show off her status as the Second Lady of the Chu Family.

But now that Zhong Niangyao had given up so easily, she felt rather clownish.

“What’s the matter?” Zhong Niangyao looked at Chu Yixue with a smirk, her words laced with sarcasm, “Is the great Second Lady of the Chu Family going back on her word, or perhaps the Chu Family hasn’t given you enough allowance?”

How could Zhong Niangyao not see Chu Yixue’s regret? But now that Chu Yixue had said she wanted it, there was no backing out!

She also wanted to see how the current Chu Family treated Chu Yixue.

“Of course, I want it. Wrap it up,” Chu Yixue, her neck stiff with pride, blurted out.

Though she suspected that Zhong Niangyao was goading her with scorn, it still made her lose her rationality. She couldn’t stand being looked down upon by Zhong Niangyao. It used to be about their status, but not anymore.

After hearing Chu Yixue’s words, the salesperson didn’t hesitate and immediately began wrapping up the brooch, then went to process the purchase.

The process was smooth and efficient, as if fearing Chu Yixue might change her mind.

Off to the side, Zhong Niangyao watched the salesperson’s eager demeanor with amusement.

Soon, the salesperson came up to Chu Yixue with the elegantly wrapped gift box and with a beaming smile asked, “Miss, this brooch costs 750,000 yuan. How would you like to pay?”

“750,000 yuan?”

Upon hearing the price, Chu Yixue couldn’t help but be taken aback. She had insisted on buying the brooch to compete with Zhong Niangyao, but she never expected it to be this expensive.

Since her return to the Chu Family, her parents had treated her very well, never wanting in material terms. They bought her many haute couture dresses and many pieces of jewelry, and even acquired some properties on her behalf. However, they only provided her with a monthly allowance.

She had thought it was just a small brooch and at most would cost only one or two hundred thousand yuan–she never expected it would cost 750,000 yuan.

Seeing Chu Yixue’s reaction, the salesperson’s heart skipped, almost afraid she wouldn’t buy it. He quickly explained, “Miss, this isn’t just any ordinary brooch. It’s a new piece designed by our senior designer this season and is a limited edition release, with no more than fifty pieces worldwide.”

“The main diamond on this brooch, although only three carats, is a top grade South African diamond with IF clarity and an E color grade, with the finest cut. So this price of 750,000 yuan is absolutely reasonable.”

“What’s wrong, Chu Yixue? Are you short on money?”

Zhong Niangyao, leaning on the counter and propping her chin, looked at Chu Yixue with a smirking face, “If you don’t have enough in your pocket, you should refrain from making careless claims in the future. This scenario, lacking the funds to pay, isn’t it embarrassing?”

“Who says I can’t afford it?” Chu Yixue, infuriated, pulled out a card from her purse and handed it to the salesperson, “I said I’d buy it, so I won’t go back on my word. Charge this card.”
