Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 413 - 412 Lurking Danger

The shop owner, who had been calculating profits in his head, obviously wanted the handsome man and beautiful woman to stay a bit longer in his store.

This was an effect that even hiring celebrities for advertising couldn’t match.

The shop owner felt that not to mention his personal service.

If the handsome man and beautiful woman took a liking to something, he was willing to give it away for free.

But the shop owner was also a man with brains.

Seeing the handsome man and beautiful woman dressed in luxury brands, the shop owner knew they definitely weren’t lacking money.

The shop owner knew that if he really said those words aloud, he might even offend them.

Only those who quibble over every little thing and don’t have much money think about taking small advantages like these.

For the wealthy, the shop owner’s thought was somewhat insulting.

Did they lack money? Did they need your freebies?

"No need."

Jiang Xinxuan shook his head.

The jewelry shop was only so big, and Jiang Xinxuan had already quickly scanned the entire place.

There was nothing that caught his fancy.

Jiang Xinxuan also knew that there wasn’t much time left before the fireworks banquet, so of course, he didn’t want to waste any more time in this jewelry shop.

"Su Mu, let’s go check out another store."

Jiang Xinxuan declined the shop owner’s kindness, feeling that he had already delayed the shop owner’s time enough.

Since he hadn’t found anything of interest, of course, there was no need to waste any more of the shop owner’s time.

What Jiang Xinxuan didn’t know was that the shop owner didn’t care about wasting time at all.

If the shop owner knew what Jiang Xinxuan was thinking, he would have jumped out to firmly state his position.

The shop owner wished that the handsome man and beautiful woman could stay in his jewelry shop for as long as possible.

How could he possibly think it was a waste of time?

But now that the handsome man and beautiful woman were leaving, the shop owner couldn’t block their way.

Helplessly, the shop owner could only watch as his "gods of wealth" left his jewelry shop.

As expected, with the departure of the handsome man and beautiful woman,

the jewelry shop, which had been packed with people, instantly became deserted.

The once bustling store suddenly became chilly and quiet.

Even those customers who had been lining up to pay put down the items they were holding and walked out after them.

Watching the scattered items left aside, the shop owner muttered to himself, "My money."

The cashier girl in the shop was also baffled as she looked at her boss.

Just a moment ago, everyone was scrambling to pay, so how come they left their things behind and all left so suddenly?

"Put it away."

The shop owner, already close to tears, said to his staff member and silently walked back into the store.

The handsome man and beautiful woman had already gone to the jewelry shop next door.

The anxious customers who had rushed out of his store also squeezed into the next-door jewelry shop.

The shop owner knew that his "gods of wealth" were no longer favoring his store.

There was nothing to be done, the shop owner couldn’t possibly go to the next jewelry shop and drag the handsome man and beautiful woman back to his store by force.

He could only silently accept this reality.

...

"Su Mu, weren’t these people just in the shop we were in before?"

Jiang Xinxuan finally noticed something was off.

Logically, it’s perfectly normal for customers to switch from one shop to another when selecting merchandise.

Isn’t that what Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu were doing?

However, Jiang Xinxuan remembered that when they left the previous jewelry store, he had paid special attention.

Now, among the people following them into this new shop, weren’t many just waiting in line to pay at the previous store?

How had they suddenly appeared here in the blink of an eye?

Keep in mind, there were many customers in that jewelry store and quite a few waiting to check out.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that it was simply unrealistic to think that so many people could have all checked out in less than a minute.

The jewelry shops on the pedestrian street are not very big.

Shop by shop, each small storefront attracts different customers with their unique styles of trinkets.

So, each jewelry store only has one cash register and is staffed by a single cashier.

Even if the cashier is fast, each customer’s checkout process still takes one to two minutes.

It is absolutely impossible for so many people to have all checked out in a short span of one minute, or possibly even less than a minute.

With this realization, Jiang Xinxuan became extra vigilant.

Jiang Xinxuan discreetly observed the situation.

Most of the customers who followed him and Su Mu into this new jewelry store were young girls.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with young girls being the primary customers of a jewelry store.

The issue now was that these young ladies’ glances kept drifting towards Su Mu, intentionally or not.

Jiang Xinxuan instantly understood—the girls weren’t here to pick out jewelry.

Their main purpose was to check out the handsome guy.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu had always been extremely popular with girls.

He had a charm that, to girls, was simply irresistible.

This was something Jiang Xinxuan had experienced deeply back in high school.

But back then, there was no special relationship between Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu, so Jiang Xinxuan couldn’t really react to it.

Now, things were different—Su Mu was Jiang Xinxuan’s boyfriend.

Jiang Xinxuan, as the girlfriend, was legitimate and proper in every way.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Xinxuan took Su Mu’s arm.

Initially, Jiang Xinxuan had felt that it was crowded and wanted to keep a low profile.

At first, being led by Su Mu by the hand, Jiang Xinxuan had not intended to show off their affection in public.

But now, faced with so many eyes coveting her boyfriend, Jiang Xinxuan naturally had to make a silent counterattack.

"What’s wrong?"

Su Mu was somewhat puzzled by the sudden embrace of softness and warmth.

Su Mu hadn’t paid any attention to the girls around him.

Not to mention noticing their admiring gazes.

After all, Su Mu was all too accustomed to those adoring looks.

He had even become numb to them.

Because of this numbness, Su Mu naturally didn’t feel anything special.

Seeing his girlfriend’s strange reaction, Su Mu hadn’t made any connection with the girls in the jewelry store.

Su Mu just found it very odd.

Didn’t Xuanxuan want to pick out jewelry?

Now that they were in a new jewelry store, instead of seriously choosing something, she suddenly clung to him.

What did that mean?

Although this feeling was quite nice, Su Mu didn’t oppose the "enthusiasm" that his girlfriend showed.

It was just that he found it unusual and believed that there must be something fishy, so Su Mu felt he still needed to pay attention to his girlfriend’s thoughts.

"It’s nothing, I just think that this jewelry store is too crowded, a bit too packed."

Jiang Xinxuan was embarrassed to admit that she was deliberately showing affection in front of those girls.

Jiang Xinxuan feared that if Su Mu knew her real thoughts, he would laugh at her.

"It is a bit crowded, but there’s a fireworks banquet tonight, so maybe everyone is waiting for that."

Su Mu thought that everyone probably came to this pedestrian street to watch the fireworks, which is why it was especially crowded tonight.

As a result, it was only natural that the number of customers in Jewelry City had increased.

After all, it wasn’t yet time for the fireworks, and everyone needed to kill some boring time.

"Welcome, handsome guy and beautiful girl, I’m the owner of this jewelry store."

"What kind of jewelry are you two looking to see? Everything in our shop is the latest trend of the season."

"Whatever you two like, I can take it out for you to choose from."

A woman in her thirties, who claimed to be the owner, walked up to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan with a keen eye.

The owner had already observed the bustling scene of the neighboring store before.

Without anyone pointing it out, the owner naturally knew why her store had attracted so many customers now.

Entertaining the "gods" in front of her would help retain many of the customers and might even attract more.

The owner understood this perfectly well.

Su Mu didn’t respond to the "enthusiastic" owner.

It was Xuanxuan who wanted to pick something out, and Su Mu truly had no interest in these trinkets.

Looking at his girlfriend still hanging onto his arm, Su Mu indicated that Xuanxuan should answer for herself.

"Su Mu, I don’t want to pick anything today, let’s talk about it another time."

Her boyfriend being openly and covertly watched by a bunch of girls made Jiang Xinxuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Although Su Mu’s appearance meant that this situation was unlikely to change in the future.

But Jiang Xinxuan just didn’t want her boyfriend to be in the same little jewelry store with so many young girls.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu wasn’t really interested in browsing jewelry stores anyway.

Su Mu was completely accompanying her.

Now that Jiang Xinxuan had lost interest in browsing Jewelry City, there was of course no need to continue.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that with so many people crowded into a small jewelry store, the air wasn’t even fresh anymore.

It was better to just stroll around the pedestrian street with Su Mu, waiting for the evening fireworks to begin.

"Then let’s go."

Su Mu had no objections whatsoever.

Whether his girlfriend wanted to shop or not, Su Mu wouldn’t obstruct her.

Su Mu also felt that this jewelry store was indeed a bit too crowded. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Since Xuanxuan didn’t want to browse anymore, leaving was naturally the best option.

"You two didn’t find anything you liked?"

"How about I recommend something? Our jewelry store has a lot of fresh items that haven’t been displayed yet."

"If you two leave without taking a good look, wouldn’t that be such a pity?"

The owner became anxious when she heard the handsome guy and beautiful girl’s conversation.

This handsome guy and beautiful girl had been in her jewelry store for probably less than three minutes since they entered.

If they left in such a hurry, wouldn’t all the customers who had followed them into the store also leave?

The owner felt that, after all, the handsome guy and beautiful girl had spent at least ten minutes in the neighboring jewelry store.

The neighboring jewelry store also did quite a lot of business thanks to the handsome guy and beautiful woman.

But the handsome guy and beautiful woman didn’t even glance at the items in their own store, they were eager to leave.

Let alone the fact that the customers currently in their own store might follow the handsome guy and beautiful woman out the door.

It might even give people the illusion that the items in their own store are not even worth a look.

The shopkeeper felt that this impact was not to be underestimated.

In the least, they wouldn’t make a big profit like the neighboring jewelry store did today.

At the most, perhaps everyone would leave with a poor impression of their own jewelry store, and that would affect their business in the future.

After all, even the handsome guy and beautiful woman didn’t care to take a look.

In the eyes of others, it could only mean that the items in this jewelry store were not appealing to the handsome guy and beautiful woman.

Wasn’t this silently telling everyone that the jewelry store’s items were not that great?

"No thanks, I don’t feel like browsing today."

Jiang Xinxuan was unaware of the shopkeeper’s worries and directly declined the shopkeeper’s kindness.

With so many girls eyeing her boyfriend, Jiang Xinxuan’s mood for shopping was of course affected.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan also knew she had to get used to these kinds of scenes.

Wherever Su Mu went, he was always the center of attention, something Jiang Xinxuan had experienced deeply.

If it weren’t for the fact that Jewelry City was a bit cramped, Jiang Xinxuan wouldn’t have been so anxious to leave.

The crowded space made Jiang Xinxuan feel like she and Su Mu were getting too close to those girls.

Although no one had actually squeezed up next to Su Mu and Jiang Xinxuan.

But Jiang Xinxuan just wasn’t comfortable with it.

"Beautiful lady, are you sure you don’t want to take another look? Whatever you want to see, I can take it out for you to choose freely."

The shopkeeper was clearly anxious, eagerly trying to keep Jiang Xinxuan there.

The shopkeeper wasn’t a mind reader and of course didn’t know what kind of jewelry the beautiful lady wanted to select.

Otherwise, the shopkeeper would have definitely brought out all the jewelry she wanted to see.

The shopkeeper did not expect the beautiful lady to definitely do business with his jewelry store.

Now, all the shopkeeper hoped for was that the beautiful lady and the handsome guy would stay a bit longer in his jewelry store.

That way, not only could he preserve his store’s reputation but also make a hefty profit just like the owner of the neighboring jewelry store.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that the shopkeeper’s enthusiasm was a bit much.

However, she didn’t need to ask to know why.

It definitely had little to do with her.

Jiang Xinxuan had shopped at these kinds of jewelry stores before.

When she came with friends before, Jiang Xinxuan hadn’t received such an enthusiastic welcome.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that the shopkeeper’s attitude was all because of her boyfriend—Su Mu.

But Jiang Xinxuan didn’t have any desire to play the good samaritan.

If she didn’t want to shop, then she didn’t want to shop.

Should she inconvenience herself just because of the shopkeeper’s little schemes?

So far, the only person Jiang Xinxuan would accommodate was of course Su Mu.

As for others, especially those she didn’t even know, Jiang Xinxuan didn’t have a martyr complex.

"Su Mu, let’s go."

There was no need to answer the shopkeeper’s question anymore, Jiang Xinxuan took Su Mu’s arm and walked towards the entrance of Jewelry City.

Jiang Xinxuan felt that she had made herself very clear, it was the shopkeeper who was annoying.

Of course, Jiang Xinxuan had no obligation to keep standing there and answering him.
