Chapter 46: 3 Major Scams

Chapter 46: Chapter 46: 3 Major Scams

Hearing this, Su Yunzhou rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He felt something was off but couldn’t quite put his finger on it. Adopting the mindset that every little bit counted, he expressed his gratitude anyway.

Under the recommendations of Jiang Shiyue and the salesgirl, he picked out two pure cotton T-shirts, one black and one white. Having walked around for quite a while, he had worked up a sweat. He simply took off his shirt and changed into the black T-shirt right there.

Jiang Shiyue nodded in satisfaction. He actually gave off the vibe of a handsome stylist Tony. Then, she turned to the salesgirl and said, "Tally up the total."

A moment later, the salesgirl returned holding a POS machine.

"Sister Yueyue, the total is 1,038 yuan. You’re a regular here, and you know our margins are thin. I’ve knocked off the odd change for you, so please don’t try to haggle."

Jiang Shiyue gave a slight nod. Although the joy of haggling had been stripped away from her, she decided to let it go for the sake of the thirty-eight yuan discount.

"Let’s do it! Scan my code!"

Following the successful payment, a notification chimed in Su Yunzhou’s mind.

"The mature beauty spent 100 yuan on you. Affinity is at 19 points. Cashback rewarded: 1,900 yuan."

Looking at the values, Su Yunzhou could only sigh at how difficult it was!

Walking out of the store, Jiang Shiyue tossed a bunch of large and small black shopping bags to Su Yunzhou. "Help me put these in the car. As a reward, I’ll treat you to the snack street later."

And so, acting like a true gentleman—mostly for the sake of the money—Su Yunzhou lugged the numerous bags. Guided by Jiang Shiyue, he struggled his way out of the bustling shopping center. Under the astonished gazes of quite a few passersby, they walked into the incredibly expensive open-air parking lot.

"AHEM! AHEM!"

Su Yunzhou let out a few light coughs as he looked at the two beautiful women taking photos and striking poses in front of his car.

The two beauties gave no reaction, continuing to pose provocatively and show off their best angles. One of them, a short-haired beauty, even rolled her eyes at him. "What are you coughing for? Can’t you just walk around that way? It’s barely a few extra steps. You don’t even know how to be flexible. No wonder you look so impoverished, lugging all those bags around like you’re restocking inventory..."

As her words fell, a burst of silvery laughter rang out.

"HEE HEE HEE!" Jiang Shiyue put down the two feather-light bags in her hands, finding the situation absolutely hilarious. She didn’t know why, but whenever she was with Su Yunzhou, she always ran into amusing situations.

[Affinity +1]

At this moment, Su Yunzhou was also somewhat speechless. This sudden increase in Affinity lodged a bellyful of anger right in his throat. He set down the large and small bags in his hands, fished his car keys out of his pocket, and gave it a gentle press.

BEEP BEEP!

The car’s headlights flashed simultaneously. Looking at the two women whose pupils quaked so hard that the makeup on their faces practically flaked off, Su Yunzhou teased, "Surprised? Astonished?"

"Uh..." The two women were so embarrassed they wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in. They had originally harbored the secret hope of ’accidentally’ running into the car’s wealthy owner, but they never expected the encounter to happen like this!

*You’re a rich kid, but you dress like a stylist named Tony! Is this how you experience the lives of the commoners?*

The two women scurried away in disgrace, leaving Jiang Shiyue’s silvery laughter echoing in the air.

"GIGGLE..."

Su Yunzhou opened the trunk and crossly shoved all the bags inside. He started to console himself, deciding that he couldn’t really blame those two girls. After all, who would have thought that someone would drive a Porsche to restock wholesale inventory?

"You’re still laughing?" Su Yunzhou asked helplessly.

Jiang Shiyue’s charming eyes curved into beautiful crescents. "I heard a friend at the Pharmaceutical Factory say that men who are small-minded are also quite ’small’ in that aspect."

"Screw you!" Su Yunzhou was left speechless. "I only got mistaken for a wholesale vendor because I was carrying your stuff, okay?"

"Let’s go, let’s go!" Jiang Shiyue shot him a look that clearly said he couldn’t take a joke. "I’ll treat you to something delicious, you petty prick!"

Su Yunzhou paused for a moment before retorting, "Are you insulting me, or complimenting my prick?"

Jiang Shiyue clicked her tongue in realization. "TSK TSK TSK. You’re quite smooth, aren’t you? You must be used to making dirty jokes." She let out a soft hmph. "Come on! I’ll take you to eat some gourmet food that matches your status."

"Like what?" Su Yunzhou asked casually.

Jiang Shiyue said faintly, "Crispy Rice Chicken! It’s the perfect dietary supplement for your virility!"

"Virility, my ass! Is there something wrong with your head?"

"GIGGLE! You’re getting flustered! Like I said, you’re way too petty..."

In the end, Su Yunzhou decided not to stoop to the level of this crazy woman who clearly had a few screws loose. This woman possessed a peculiar charm. Her train of thought jumped around way too much; spending too much time with her would genuinely fry a person’s brain. But the strangest thing was that, even though she could be incredibly infuriating, he simply couldn’t bring himself to dislike her.

Jiang Shiyue led Su Yunzhou into a crowded food street. Gulping in anticipation, she began a massive buying spree under the beautiful guise that, since there were two of them, they could sample a little bit of everything.

Walking from one end of the street to the other, Su Yunzhou ended up with several small bags hanging from both his hands. The Only One reason to be happy was that, under the boost of the 20 points of Affinity, he had earned another 3,900 yuan.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shiyue acted with quick eyes and swift hands, successfully snagging a small public table. Waving her lotus-root-like arm, a triumphant expression blossomed on her pretty face.

"Over here! Over here!"

A short while later, the small table was covered in specialty snacks. There were takoyaki balls, barbecue skewers, preserved pork belly flatbreads, raw marinated seafood, and clam omelets...

Su Yunzhou rarely ate what his ex-girlfriend used to call ’junk food.’ Some people scoffed at these street snacks while others loved them to death, but the taste was genuinely fantastic. He just didn’t know if his backdoor would be able to handle the aftermath tomorrow!

Su Yunzhou suddenly had a rather wicked thought. He wondered if this crazy woman was using this as her weight loss method. She ate so much every day yet still maintained such a great figure. That had to be it. Wait! Having the runs like that every day...

At that thought, Su Yunzhou’s gaze landed on her perky posterior, which looked bouncy enough to balance a bottle of soda on top.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed before his eyes. Su Yunzhou subconsciously shrank his head back, shouting at Jiang Shiyue, who was waving a bamboo skewer around.

"What are you doing? That’s dangerous, okay?"

Jiang Shiyue wielded the bamboo skewer in her hand as if it were a treasured sword about to slay demons and vanquish evil. "Heh! You just can’t control those dirty dog eyes of yours, can you?"

Su Yunzhou’s mouth twitched, and he earnestly explained, "I was showing concern for you, alright?"

"Heh! Looking at my butt to show concern?" Jiang Shiyue laughed in exasperation.

Just as she was preparing to use her Swordsmanship to subdue this pervert, Su Yunzhou said in complete seriousness, "It’s true. I was just wondering if your body could handle eating like this every day. Can your stomach take it?"

"And what does that have to do with my butt?" Jiang Shiyue tossed the bamboo skewer aside, giving him a chance to explain.

"Uh!" Su Yunzhou maintained a solemn expression. "I was wondering if you might have hemorrhoids. If you do, you should head to the proctology hospital early..."

"HIYAH!" Jiang Shiyue let out a strange cry. Without holding back, she unleashed the Cat Pinch.

A short while later, peace was restored at the small table.

Su Yunzhou indignantly munched on a takoyaki ball. There were now two fresh bruises on his arm. He had genuinely cared about her from the bottom of his heart, yet this was the treatment he received in return. Life was simply too unfair.

Having vented her frustrations, Jiang Shiyue was now in a fantastic mood. Glancing at the bruises on a certain someone’s arm, she realized she had struck a bit too hard just now, and a tiny pang of guilt rose in her heart. Thus, she pointed at a storefront ahead with a sign that read ’Prime Storefront for Transfer.’

"How about a prize-winning guessing game? If you answer correctly, I can grant you one small request." Seeing the small flame of interest reignite in his eyes, Jiang Shiyue added, "But this small request cannot involve pornography, gambling, or drugs. Though, I highly doubt you’ll be able to guess it!"

Su Yunzhou’s body jolted with anticipation as he declared, "Please present the question."

TAP TAP TAP.

Jiang Shiyue pulled out her phone, typed on it a few times, and then placed it on the table. She said leisurely, "To show fairness, I’ve already recorded the answer.

"You have three chances to answer, so please reply carefully.

"Contestant, please listen to the question!

"What are the three most common major scams?"
