Chapter 292 Heart of Bright Moon
"For my fiancée," Chen Xuan said lightly.
Fang Xiaoyu's heart trembled, feeling an emptiness within. But then, she realized it was Valentine's Day, and what man would come to a jewelry store without buying a gift for someone he liked?
She quickly pulled herself together.
As Chen Xuan picked up the pendant, Fang Xiaoyu began to explain the sapphire pendant to him, detailing its quality, craftsmanship, and other aspects.
Chen Xuan looked at the sapphire pendant in front of him for a few moments. The sapphire was of good quality, but unfortunately, it was just an ordinary piece, far from being worthy of Su Yunxi. So, he placed the sapphire pendant back in front of Fang Xiaoyu and shook his head, "Let me see some other options."
Fang Xiaoyu's expression dimmed slightly at this. She then smiled and said, "Sir, this sapphire necklace is quite expensive, at least thirty thousand. Why don't you look at the jewelry and jade over here? The quality of the pieces over there is similar, but the price is more than half cheaper."
Fang Xiaoyu did not intend to discriminate against Chen Xuan. Instead, she was trying to be considerate of his situation.
Judging by his attire, Chen Xuan did not appear to be a wealthy person. He might have just been trying to stand up for her earlier, saying he wanted to buy something. Now that he knew the price of the sapphire pendant, he was having second thoughts. She didn't want Chen Xuan to be in an awkward position because of her.
Chen Xuan glanced in the direction Fang Xiaoyu was pointing. That section featured mid-range jewelry and jade. He understood Fang Xiaoyu's intention.
You get what you pay for. Where in the world can you find such good quality at such low prices? But how could those items be worthy of Su Yunxi?
Chen Xuan shook his head and moved on to other counters.
Dong Mingyuan watched Chen Xuan's actions and interpreted them as him being unable to afford the items.
Dong Mingyuan walked over and sneered, "Sir, if you can't afford it, don't pretend to be something you're not. Every piece of jewelry at this counter costs tens of thousands!"
"If you're determined to show off, you can go over there and look at the silver ornaments. The cheapest ones are only a few dozen yuan!"
As he spoke, Dong Mingyuan pointed to a counter where the lighting was dim and the items were covered in a layer of dust.
That was the low-end jewelry and jade section, where most of the pieces were priced in the hundreds, with the cheapest being earrings for a few dozen yuan.
The surrounding store employees couldn't help but chuckle, openly mocking Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan's mind was entirely focused on finding a gift for Su Yunxi. Suddenly, he spotted something that made his eyes light up. He quickly walked to a counter and pointed at the jewelry inside, saying, "Can you take this out for me to see?"
Dong Mingyuan saw Chen Xuan standing in the low-end section and laughed heartily, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get some dozens-of-yuan silver jewelry for this gentleman who's trying to be a hero!"
The others also joined in the laughter, thinking Chen Xuan was some kind of hidden rich man, only to discover he was a show-off from a modest background.
Fang Xiaoyu, Fang Xiaoyu, this month you'll have no choice but to obediently climb into Dong Mingyuan's bed!
A nobody like him can't save you!
Fang Xiaoyu quickly walked over and, upon seeing the item Chen Xuan was pointing at, couldn't help but gasp, "Ah? This..."
"Sir, are you sure you want to see this? This set of jewelry is very expensive." She took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
"Yes," Chen Xuan nodded.
Fang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, as if she had made a decision.
Dong Mingyuan said impatiently, "Fang Xiaoyu, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and take it out for this gentleman."
Fang Xiaoyu turned to Dong Mingyuan and said, "Manager Dong, this gentleman wants to see this set of jewelry, but the key is with you..."
The surrounding area fell silent at her words.
Everyone knew that Tianhe Jewelry Store had the "Heart of Bright Moon" jade jewelry, crafted from jade from the Kunlun Mountains, valued at three million yuan!
It was extremely precious, so there was only one key, which was always kept by Dong Mingyuan.
Dong Mingyuan revealed a hint of suspicion.
The low-end section was adjacent to the "Heart of Bright Moon," the store's prized possession. Could this guy have his eye on the "Heart of Bright Moon"?
He frowned, took the key, and walked over. Indeed, he saw Chen Xuan standing in front of the "Heart of Bright Moon" display.
He sneered, "Kid, stop pretending. This 'Heart of Bright Moon' set costs three million yuan, no bargaining. Can you afford it?"
"How do you know I can't afford it?"
Chen Xuan's expression turned cold.
This guy had been nagging and mocking him non-stop earlier.
He had not intended to stoop to his level, but Dong Mingyuan had the audacity to bother him again, which was truly making him angry. wap.kanshuwu.net
"Stop pretending. You just want to take out this set of jewelry and post a photo on your social media. Everyone knows you're doing it to pick up women. This trick is old and I've already done it!"
Dong Mingyuan said with contempt.
He relied on being the store manager and often posted photos of expensive jewelry on his social media. When he went to nightclubs, he would add beautiful women on WeChat. Those gold-diggers, upon seeing the photos on his feed, would all fall for it. He had hooked up with quite a few attractive gold-digging women.
He knew this routine better than anyone!
This kid was trying to pull the same stunt on me!
Tch!
"Sir, perhaps I can show you some other jewelry?" Fang Xiaoyu quickly tried to smooth things over.
Honestly, she also felt Chen Xuan couldn't afford it.
"Is this your place to speak?" Dong Mingyuan glared at Fang Xiaoyu and said fiercely.
"What if I buy it?" Chen Xuan stared at Dong Mingyuan, his slightly narrowed eyes glinting with coldness.
"If you buy it, I'll kneel down and call you 'Dad'!" Dong Mingyuan laughed.
"Alright, you said it!"
With that, Chen Xuan took out a bank card from his pocket, threw it on the counter, and said, "Swipe the card!"
Chen Xuan's swift and decisive action surprised even Dong Mingyuan. However, upon seeing Chen Xuan's attire, he immediately felt more confident.
How could this poor nobody afford the store's three-million-yuan centerpiece?
"Still pretending to be something you're not, this is truly laughable!"
Dong Mingyuan sneered a few times and then said to Fang Xiaoyu, "Fang Xiaoyu, hurry up and swipe the card!"
Fang Xiaoyu picked up the bank card, her face filled with hesitation and difficulty. The bank card felt as heavy as iron.
She worried that after swiping the card, insufficient funds would be displayed, causing Chen Xuan immense humiliation. Moreover, all the store employees had gathered around, their mocking gazes seemingly already anticipating how they would shame her benefactor.
"What are you still waiting for? Do you want to get out of here right now?" Dong Mingyuan grumbled unpleasantly.
"Go ahead, Miss Fang."
Chen Xuan also began to urge her. Fang Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, grabbed the POS machine, and swiped for three million yuan!
As a crisp "beep" sound echoed, a mechanical voice filled with the scent of money immediately rang out.
"Card swiped successfully, three million yuan in total!!"
The lobby was deathly silent.
Everyone around was so astonished their jaws were about to hit the floor.
Especially Dong Mingyuan, whose face turned ashen.
The store employees exchanged stunned glances. None of them had expected that Chen Xuan, this unremarkable young man who looked like a nobody, was actually a hidden magnate, spending three million yuan on the spot.
While they were astonished, they were also filled with regret.
A sales volume of three million yuan would be enough to propel Fang Xiaoyu to the top sales spot for the month!
Why wasn't it them who served this wealthy patron!
"Did I buy this piece of jewelry?"
Chen Xuan looked at Dong Mingyuan and said with a half-smile.
Dong Mingyuan quickly recovered from his shock. His expression changed rapidly, and he immediately put on a fawning smile, pointing at Fang Xiaoyu and saying, "Xiaoyu, hurry up and package this for Mr. Chen."
Fang Xiaoyu took the key from Dong Mingyuan, immediately opened the display cabinet, carefully took out the "Heart of Bright Moon," expertly packaged it, and placed it in front of Chen Xuan.
"Sir, your Heart of Bright Moon." Fang Xiaoyu said respectfully, her beautiful eyes flashing with a different kind of light.
"Manager Dong, don't forget about our bet," Chen Xuan said to Dong Mingyuan with a playful smile.
