It was not easy for them to come to the most bustling shopping mall in the city center. So Christina and
the other students, who were poor, looked at the dazzling array of high-end goods and were dazzled.
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 displayed in
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 start to
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 not go
to that Cantonese restaurant because we should wait for the dishes to be served for a long time. How
about buying some snacks casually in the square? How wonderful it is for us to eat while shopping.”
“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 a
comfortable life. She liked to go shopping with Crystal and the others, coveting the goods in the window
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 angel
wing
pendant.
The waitress immediately took the necklace out of the counter. Just as she was about to explain the
advantages of the necklace, someone behind interjected, “I want this necklace. Wrap it up for me.” It
was a shrill female voice.
May turned around and saw that it was a mature woman dressed fashionably, and her face looked a
little
familiar.
Cindy recognized her first, pointed at her, and exclaimed, “You, you are the second female lead in the
8:30 TV series.”
The newly popular actress was recognized so she smirked, but she didn’t greet Cindy. It was
inappropriate for her to talk to a poor student in public.
The manager of this flagship store also walked over and immediately recognized the star. She
immediately 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 picture with
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 wing
pendant 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 good mood
and was
about 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 the
necklace.
The female star in front of her was obviously shocked. Even the shop assistant did not expect someone
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 give Miss
Wallick this necklace as a present. Please hand it over.”
May and the other students felt pressured when facing the veterans in the workplace and immediately
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 she always
came first in examinations. She could take part in this year’s SAT at ease because she had been
admitted by a key university at home. It was rare for her to meet the jewelry she liked, and she wanted
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 many
shops ahead. There might be better ones.”
When Christina heard what they said, she was going to return the necklace. However, the female star
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 couldn’t afford it?”
Beauties were easily hostile to other beauties. The new actress looks at Christina’s face and her tone
was even harsher.
“How much money can students like you have? Don’t waste your parents’ hard-earned money. You
shouldn’t come to this kind of place. Do you believe that I’ll ask the security guards in the square to
chase you out?”
Cindy was also furious. She cast the card with 100,000 dollars that her father gave her on the counter
and shouted, “What if we are poor students? We can afford a small necklace. Swipe the card, swipe
the card.”
The people on Christina’s side wanted to buy it, but the people of the store would not sell it to them.
After weighing the pros and cons, of course, they had to be partial to the beautiful and fashionable
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 us
immediately.”
“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 panicked.
The arrogant female star didn’t need to say anything, and the people in the store immediately laughed
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 more trouble,
we will call the security guards immediately and even send you to the police station. I hope you will be
sensible.” title
The counter manager spoke tactfully and sophisticatedly with a smile on her face, but the corners of
her lips were full of contempt.
Christina opened the jewelry box in front of them and took out the platinum necklace. She broke the
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 scold her.
This girl
was 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 her
anger and looked as if she was going to pounce on Christina and scratch Christina’s face with her long
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 immediately
responded 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”. She glared
back at the female star
Pushing and dragging May and Crystal away, they entered the elevator and went to the dining area on
the top floor. Only then did May gradually come back to her senses, “Here you are.” Christina handed
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 the flaw
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 was broken
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. She
called Christina’s name intermittently, “Ch… Christina.”
Christina had always caused trouble for her as her roommate, but now she was greatly moved by
Christina and some tears welled up in her eyes.
Christina smiled and patted her on the shoulder, “You are once the invincible president of the student
union in our school, but you were scared by those women. What should you do if you encounter 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 about the
money spent.
Cindy reached out two fingers.
Christina frowned, “Two thousand dollars?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“It’s 18,999 dollars.” Cindy had just checked the text message and found that it cost about 20,000
dollars.
On the spot, Cindy just wanted to vent her anger and she didn’t even look at the invoice. Looking at the
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 said to
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. The
goods in the central square were too high-end, so they had better not look at them. They went straight
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 inlaid with
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 to
make a reservation. Most of the people who came in for dinner were upper-class people. Christina and
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 obvious that
she was fawning on this man, Cindy quietly kicked Christina, who was sitting opposite her, with her
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 light
gold 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. Sure
enough, 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 as she
was seeing a play.
The female star held the man’s arm, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. Her ferocious
appearance before had disappeared, and she put on a charming smile to please the man now. She did
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 for was
not a good
one.
To Christina’s surprise, the man at the innermost table seemed to have said something, and the
playboy immediately let go of the woman beside him. The female star was very embarrassed and
indignant. 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 face of
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 of the
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 restrain
themselves 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 their dishes at
all. They
ordered 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.” Charles smiled
awkwardly.
LA
Patrick had a freak. He hated to interact with women, and he didn’t like to have dinner with strange
women.
In the past, they took their girlfriends everywhere to play But even during the sweet and passionate
period, they did not dare take them to Patrick in fear of provoking him.
