Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Why Spend a Fortune?

Five minutes later.

Su Yunzhou and a beaming Liu Yiyi left Van Cleef & Arpels, leaving behind a shocked and flustered Bella, who gave a shallow bow to their retreating figures.

If she hadn’t typed the order number wrong once, she could have shaved another minute and a half off the fastest sales record of her career.

At this moment, her emotions were incredibly complex! It wasn’t just because of how fast he made the purchase, but also because this wasn’t paid for by some sugar mama. Broke Su had simply taken out his phone and scanned the QR code to pay directly.

Standing next to him earlier, although she hadn’t gotten a clear look, a fleeting glimpse of the multiple zeros in his account balance had already blinded her. What exactly was going on? Why on earth was he so rich?

Just then, a junior saleswoman came over to congratulate her. "Bella, you’re amazing! Meeting such a god-tier client who casually swiped eighty thousand yuan without blinking an eye."

Snapping back to reality, Bella chuckled awkwardly. "Just lucky, just lucky. I didn’t expect him to place an order so generously either."

The junior saleswoman’s eyes sparkled. "But this handsome guy is really low-key! Did you see? He was wearing Zegna from head to toe, and it’s the latest collection of the season..."

"Ah!" Bella was jolted again. "Zegna?"

"Yeah!" the junior continued. "His outfit alone would cost us at least a few months’ salary. Bella, you two seemed quite familiar with each other. Be honest, where did you find such a huge client..."

Zhang Juhua didn’t hear a word of what followed. She and Broke Su—no, Mr. Su—were anything but familiar. She used to often hear her best friend complain about how stingy this guy was, so how did he become rich overnight?

No.

This question had been lingering in her mind for a while, and she felt it was necessary to shock her ’half-bestie’ as well. She stepped outside and made a call.

A cheerful female voice came through the receiver. "Zhang... Bella... what’s going on? You’re calling and sending videos? Did something happen?"

"Nothing much, just a small question."

"Spit it out!"

"Mei Na, how long has it been since you and Su Yunzhou broke up?"

"Why are you suddenly bringing up that broke guy?"

"Broke guy? He just came to our store and spent eighty thousand yuan in five minutes buying two Vintage Alhambra four-leaf clover bracelets!"

"Ah?"

After a brief silence, Mei Na’s slightly angry voice came through the receiver. "Zhang Juhua, is it fun playing this kind of joke on me?"

Hearing her full name being called out, Bella felt a bit displeased. "Suit yourself if you don’t believe me! I saw it with my own eyes anyway. I only told you because I consider you a best friend..."

Her serious tone made Mei Na realize that Zhang Juhua didn’t seem to be joking. Besides, thinking about it carefully, there was no need to joke about such a thing. But still, she wondered how that broke Su could afford Van Cleef & Arpels, let alone buy two four-leaf clover bracelets at once.

Her tone softened a bit. "Sister, I was a little worked up just now. What exactly happened?"

After listening to her half-bestie recount the shopping experience, an answer formed in her mind. "Could it be that a sugar mama gave him the money, and he specifically went to your store to put on a show for us?"

"But how long has it been since you two broke up? What kind of charm does he have to make a sugar mama throw tens or hundreds of thousands at him to play with?" Bella hadn’t ruled out this possibility, but what had just happened didn’t seem like it. The junior saleswoman might have misjudged his outfit, but that blurry account balance she glimpsed couldn’t be faked.

"Maybe the sugar mama’s husband just died? And he took advantage of her vulnerability!"

At this moment, Mei Na could only suspect that after being dumped by her, he had met a super-rich, flawless sugar mama. But even so, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She wondered what kind of nonsense it was that after she dumped him, he managed to latch onto a sugar mama.

After the call ended.

Bella felt a bit better. She couldn’t care less about all that drama. Regardless, that solid eighty thousand yuan went towards her sales performance.

However, Mei Na’s mind grew increasingly restless.

Overthinking was a woman’s innate instinct. And the more she thought about it, the more things felt off. That handsome, broke figure began to surface in her mind again. She was so frustrated! After she dumped him, she had used every trick in the book to serve that ’short and quick’ nouveau riche, yet he had never been willing to spend that much money on her all at once. Moreover, when Su Yunzhou was with her, he would frown at spending eight hundred, and agonizingly deliberate over spending eight thousand. But now, he was casually throwing around vast sums of money without blinking an eye. She wondered why.

Thinking of this, she called up the nouveau riche.

"Babe, I want to buy a Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover bracelet."

"What is that?"

"It’s a very memorable piece of jewelry."

"What’s the use of it?"

"Uh..."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After the two of them walked out of the luxury boutique, Liu Yiyi smiled like a child who had just received a long-awaited gift. She occasionally glanced down at the red and green four-leaf clover bracelets on her wrist. People always said that red and green paired together was tacky. But how could this carnelian and malachite, paired with the 18K yellow gold bracelets, look so gorgeous? No woman could refuse Van Cleef & Arpels. Including certain men.

Looking at Liu Yiyi—who was holding his arm and cheering joyfully in public for the first time—Su Yunzhou couldn’t help but feel a secret thrill. What was the point of throwing money around? Wasn’t it just for the emotional value? He even felt that if he proposed some slightly more ’complex’ bedroom activities tonight, Liu Yiyi wouldn’t refuse. It felt so damn good to be rich.

RING RING RING!

Liu Yiyi picked up her phone, glanced at the caller ID, and her face turned slightly serious. "President Ye, what can I do for you?

"Oh! Okay, okay!

"I’ll ask my brother in a bit and give you an answer later."

After hanging up, Liu Yiyi looked at Su Yunzhou with bright eyes. Her lips curled into a beautiful angle as she spoke leisurely, "Little brother!

"President Ye wants to treat you to a meal. I owe him a favor recently, so he asked me to pass on the message—taking the roundabout route!"

"First of all, you know better than anyone else!" Su Yunzhou teased. "I am a big brother!"

He then continued, "Last time, you said this President Ye took great care of you in terms of company collaboration?"

Liu Yiyi nodded slightly. "It’s more than just taking care of me. Because you said you were my brother, the business volume of the company under President Ye’s group that cooperates with us has more than doubled here. Moreover, they specifically requested that I be in charge. It’s basically handing me free money. I’m totally riding your coattails..."

Su Yunzhou nodded. "Since it helps your work, let’s go then!"

Seeing him agree, Liu Yiyi immediately called Ye Sen back and scheduled to have lunch together at the Shiwaide Hotel tomorrow.

After putting down her phone, she looked at her casually dressed ’big brother’ and said softly, "Although it’s an informal meal, you still need to dress a bit more formally when meeting a big shot like him.

"Since I’m riding on my little brother’s coattails, and my little brother even bought me a gift today,

"then, as your older sister, I have to show my appreciation somehow!"

Hearing this, Su Yunzhou’s face lit up with joy. "Alright! I’ll give you a chance to ’show your appreciation.’

"And let me reiterate once more: I am a big brother~"
