Shopping

Nan Hua looked at Nan Xian Xie happily picked the clothes there and then retreated to the side. She had seen the clothes in her cloakroom and knew very well that the clothes inside were already suitable for her.

But for the rich people, the number was a bit pitiful.

"Do you know where the location for casual clothes?" Nan Hua approached one of the shopping guides.

"Yes, over here, Miss." The shopping guide was surprised when she saw Nan Hua, but she still showed a perfect smile. The appearance of Nan Hua was really good and with her soft and cute voice, it made her look approachable.

"Thank you." Nan Hua followed the shopping guide to the side.

"These are all the latest of this session. Miss, you're good at wearing light color, so you might want to consider wearing these…"

Nan Hua listened to the shopping guide's words carefully and picked a few casual clothes that looked quite good. She then asked to bring it to Nan Family after paying with her phone.

There were several methods of payment. Most of them would use their bracelet, which had been connected to their bank account. However, there were also some of them who still used the traditional method and used their phone.

At this time, Nan Hua purposely didn't carry her bracelet on the surface and only showed her phone.

"Young Miss still use the phone. I thought that there are not many people who still want to use it." The shopping guide showed a smile.

"It's convenient in the place where the network is not completely covered yet," Nan Hua replied.

"Indeed. I also have one and usually used it as the spare method for me to use." The shopping guide was happy that there was also someone similar to her. "There are a new batch of new phones in the mall in a few days, do you know about it, Miss?"

"I have heard that there's a new model out." Nan Hua looked at the shopping guide and then asked, "Can you tell me more?"

"Of course! It's said that this new model will also include the new …." The shopping guide was happy and shared what she knew to Nan Hua. Because she had worked here for a long time, she naturally knew some insider news.

It was said that the mall had new cooperation lately and that these phones will be out soon. She even knew about the shipping date because she was also curious about these new phones.

"Thank you," Nan Hua said seriously after the shopping guide had finished.

"It's nothing much. Many of us also know about this." The shopping guide waved her hand happily. She didn't expect that this rich young miss was actually so approachable. If only everyone was like this, she would be able to happily chat with her customer every day and didn't need to worry about being scolded.

Nan Hua nodded but didn't elaborate.

Many people knew, but how many people paid so much attention like this shopping guide?

Naturally, Nan Hua had seen the shopping guide's phone on her pocket, so she could guess that this shopping guide actually liked this thing. She only used it because it was necessary and the bracelet was not convenient at times.

"Xian Xie!"

Hearing the call to her cousin, Nan Hua raised her head and saw a girl dressed in luxurious clothes walked towards Nan Xian Xie.

"Hui Nian." Nan Xian Xie smiled when she saw the young woman.

Hui Nian nodded. "Why don't you bring me when you go shopping this time?"

"My grandfather asked me to bring my cousin along." Nan Xian Xie pointed her chin at her cousin. "There are a few dozens clothes here, Cousin Hua, I picked them for you and me."

Nan Hua looked at the row of dresses that Nan Xian Xie had picked and nodded calmly. These dresses were more suitable for Nan Xian Xie compared to her, but she said nothing and looked at Nan Xian Xie.

"Why are you looking at me?" Nan Xian Xie frowned.

"Cousin, I forgot to bring my bracelet." Nan Hua lowered her head. "Can I ask Cousin to pay for it first? I'll ask Grandfather to pay for the clothes later."

Nan Xian Xie's eyes widened when she heard Nan Hua's words. The reason why she agreed to accompany Nan Hua was because every time she accompanied Nan Hua in the past, Nan Hua always paid for her. Unlike Nan Hua whose mother was very rich, her family didn't have as much money as hers.

This was an expensive store and Nan Xian Xie knew that normally she would not pick clothes from here. But knowing that the one who will pay is Nan Hua, she had no burden whatsoever.

Anyway, she picked clothes for her cousin and picked some for herself.

If it was mixed, who would know?

But now that Nan Hua asked her to pay, how could she brazenly picked more clothes for herself and didn't pay for it?

It was estimated that her grandfather would look at her.

"How can you forget about something like that? The bracelet has become the media of communication for a long time in this planet." Nan Xian Xie looked at Nan Hua unkindly.

"But I'm not used to bring bracelet along, Cousin." Nan Hua blinked her eyes 'innocently' at Nan Xian Xie. "I forgot that the bracelet is still at home."

Nan Xian Xie wanted to curse at Nan Hua.

Knowing that the village where Nan Hua used to live really didn't wear the bracelet and instead used the phones… she felt terribly annoyed.

She knew that this little scheme today wouldn't be successful.

"This…" Nan Xian Xie looked at the pile of clothes, wondering how she was supposed to pay for all of these.

"Don't you have money, Xian Xie?" Hui Nian asked curiously. In the school, Nan Xian Xie always showed off her clothes. Lately, it was even worse because Nan Xian Xie would always wear famous clothes.

The classmates were all jealous of her, but knowing that she was from a powerful family, they shut up and didn't dare to mention this matter on the surface. Hui Nian was also from the rich family but not as influential as Nan Family.

Thus, she was a bit suspicious when she saw Nan Xian Xie's hesitation.

"I have it. I'm just thinking that my cousin is really forgetful after returning to Nan Family," Nan Xian Xie replied, not forgetting to hit Nan Hua with her words.

Hui Nian looked at Nan Hua and then averted her eyes away, which was filled with scorn. They naturally knew that Nan Hua was only found a few months ago by Nan Family. This was a girl who was raised in a village, far away from their sophisticated place.

For these women, they looked down a bit of these kind of people.

Especially when Nan Hua clearly looked weak, soft, and ignorant. They didn't want to be associated with her, but they didn't dare to be blatant because of the Nan Family behind Nan Hua.

It was just that their interaction with Nan Hua was naturally very limited.

Nan Xian Xie smiled slightly when she saw Hui Nian's scorn as she scanned her bracelet. Her heart was bleeding but she consoled herself that she would be fine later when she asked for compensation from nan Hua.

Anyway, this country bumpkin shouldn't know anything and asking for money was easy.

Nan Hua watched the two of them from the side without any change in her expression. She didn't care too much about her reputation, but she had to keep up her character so that other people would not be suspicious of her.

But taking advantage of her?

Sorry, she didn't want to play this set.

Nan Hua simply lowered her head, making her look soft and weak. Those who didn't know wouldn't have realized that she had actually make her cousin fell into the pit she dug herself.
