Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ray’s mother shook her head. “There’s no need.” Actually, if she had money, it would be better to give her the red-purple bracelet that cost more than 20 million yuan, but she didn’t have money! Not even 10 million yuan!
The salesperson could only pick up the last violet bracelet. “Then this is the only one. Pink-purple is cheaper, but the color doesn’t suit the elderly ”
The salesperson’s words were a little straightforward. A rich lady who was buying bracelets beside her glanced over. Ray’s mother felt a little awkward, but she could only force herself to nod. “Alright, this one it is. How much is it?”
Salesman: “This is 2.8 million yuan. Shall I wrap it up for you?”
From 28 million to 2.8 million yuan, it would be a little embarra.s.sing if she didn’t buy it. Ray’s mother nodded calmly. “Wrap it up.” At this moment, a call happened to come in. She said, “Wait a moment, I’ll take this call.” She didn’t have 2.8 million yuan either. Although she had married into a wealthy family, her monthly pocket money was not even a fraction of her first wife’s daughter’s. Her husband was ten years older than her and was very stingy. He would only give her some things and not let her buy them herself. He said that it was too much for her to buy things herself. It was not as cheap as him buying things from an acquaintance. He also didn’t let her use his credit card, didn’t let her owe money, and didn’t let her play cards Therefore, Ray’s mother wanted to take advantage of the phone call to borrow money from someone, but she was afraid that others would see that she was looking for an excuse to call and borrow money, so she left Ray in the shop.
Ray’s mother said, “Ray, wait for Mommy here. Mommy will be back after the call.”
Ray nodded.
Ten minutes pa.s.sed. Ray looked out uneasily. Her mother was still on the phone. She had a thick smile on her face, as if she were chatting happily.
Half an hour pa.s.sed, but Ray’s mother was still on the phone. The people around them began to look at her strangely.
Someone whispered, “Could it be that she couldn’t afford it and called to borrow money? Just now, she didn’t look like she was rich.”
“She looks like a rich lady. The bracelet she’s wearing is quite expensive. It’s at least ten to twenty million yuan. I didn’t expect a rich lady wearing such an expensive bracelet to not even be able to fork out two million yuan. Could she be a mistress?”
“I don’t know, but I heard that there are people renting precious items to look rich. That bracelet might have been rented by her.”
Although these voices were low, Ray could still hear them. Her hearing had been good since she was young. She could often hear her sister going upstairs, her father coming back, her father on the phone, her parents arguing With these voices, she learned to read people’s faces. Unconsciously, she trained her hearing. She felt those people stealing glances at her as they spoke.
“She even deliberately detained her daughter here because she was afraid that others would laugh at her for escaping the bill?”
“Tsk tsk, it’s so pitiful to be her daughter.”
Ray lowered her head. Her face was red, and tears welled up in her eyes. They were both young ladies of wealthy families, but her cousin Mia had everything she wanted. She heard that her cousin Mia’s eldest uncle even bought an island just to make an amus.e.m.e.nt park for her. Everyone doted on her and loved her. They would definitely not embarra.s.s her. Moreover, she was so embarra.s.sed. Her mother had to borrow money from others to buy a bracelet, and she still had to be mocked here
Ray secretly swore that she had to get Eldest Uncle to like her! Mom said that Eldest Uncle was very powerful. Not only was he rich, but he also had a high status. That was something that could not be bought with money. Everyone respected him. If she had such an Eldest Uncle who doted on her and bought whatever she wanted, she would not be mocked everywhere she went.
Ray’s mother had been on the phone for nearly forty minutes when she finally borrowed the money and went into the shop to pay for the bracelet. It would have been a happy thing to buy something, but Ray’s mother felt humiliated and hurried away with Ray. It was also because of this episode that it was very late after they left the mall.
Ray asked weakly, “Mom, are we still going to visit the Grandma Walton?”
Ray’s mother was embarra.s.sed and not in a good mood, so she said, “Let’s go tomorrow. Ray, remember, when you visit people, you can’t go during other people’s mealtimes. It’s rude unless you make an appointment in advance.”
Ray asked, “Why?” She really wanted to go to the Walton residence. Children were not as meticulous as adults. Ray felt that she would be able to please Mrs. Walton if she went. If Mrs. Walton liked her, Eldest Uncle would probably accept her soon
