"Ling'er sister, try this one. You're so beautiful, red will suit you best!"
"That's right, Ling'er sister, try this one. I think with your cute temperament, you can also pull off this playful light pink!"
In just a few short minutes, Qin Ling'er had tried on over a dozen outfits at the urging of Qin Xue'er and Nan Xi.
Every time she changed into a new outfit, the two would exclaim in admiration for Qin Ling'er's naturally beautiful face.
So, as expected, every outfit they had just tried on was packed up by the two of them with the help of the sales assistants.
The several sales assistants who had been waiting for them were all beaming, thinking they had encountered big spenders today.
After all, each outfit cost anywhere from several thousand to tens of thousands, and the commission alone from Qin Ling'er could be quite substantial.
Moreover, these people clearly came from wealthy backgrounds, not even bothering to ask the prices when they bought things.
It seemed they could earn at least ten thousand in commission today!
After packing up the clothes Qin Ling'er wanted to buy, the girls then proceeded to pick out casual wear and formal dresses for themselves.
Even though they had wardrobes full of such clothes at home.
But what girl would ever complain about having too many clothes?
After browsing and picking out a few favored outfits, they prepared to head to the payment counter to pay for everything together.
However, as they passed a custom clothing store, the girls were drawn to a tall, transparent display window.
Inside the window was a life-sized mannequin.
And on the mannequin was a white evening gown, exquisitely made and perfectly tailored!
It was clear that this gown was just a sample displayed by the custom brand.
But even so, this sample gown still showcased a level far above all other clothing.
"How much does it cost to customize this gown?"
After circling the glass display window three times, Lin Nana and Qin Xue'er couldn't help but step forward to inquire about the price of the gown.
But the owner of this clothing store looked quite peculiar.
With sparse white hair and old-fashioned round glasses, he looked more like a down-on-his-luck aristocrat from the last century than a shop owner.
What was even stranger was that the owner didn't seem very interested in the three girls' inquiries.
He casually quoted an exorbitant price of 1.5 million and then returned to drinking his tea alone, completely ignoring their astonished gazes.
"Do you like it?"
Seeing Qin Ling'er standing still, her gaze occasionally drifting towards the glass display window, Qin Xuan smiled gently and slowly approached his sister.
Qin Ling'er nodded at this, then shook her head.
After a moment of silence, she finally voiced her inner thoughts.
No one disliked beautiful things, and Qin Ling'er naturally adored this gown.
However, like Qin Xuan, she wasn't the type of person to engage in mindless revenge spending just because they had money.
Ever since Qin Xuan's rise to immense wealth, Qin Ling'er had never asked him for money, apart from what he voluntarily provided for her daily expenses.
The reason the clothes she wore were of a slightly higher caliber than Qin Xuan's was due to Qin Xuan's "raise sons frugally, raise daughters lavishly" mentality, which led him to intentionally buy her nice clothes.
Upon hearing his sister's perspective, Qin Xuan was immensely gratified.
His sister hadn't become arrogant and dismissive like other nouveau riche individuals who, upon realizing their family's wealth, acted as if they were superior to everyone.
If nothing else, her ability to maintain her original mindset was a testament to his years of guidance.
"Silly girl, don't worry. If you like it, we'll buy it."
"Now that brother has money, we don't have to pinch every penny like before."
"From now on, buy whatever you want!"
"Heh, showing off again!"
Qin Xuan: "???"
Just as he was having a heartfelt moment with his sister, a disdainful voice drifted into his ear again.
The voice wasn't too loud, but Qin Xuan heard it clearly. It was Jia Siwen, who had been badmouthing him behind his back.
Why "again"?
Because he had already heard Jia Siwen and Lin Nana mocking him when they first arrived.
But at the time, they hadn't explicitly stated it, and Qin Xuan didn't want to ruin Ling'er and Xue'er's mood, so he had endured it without reacting.
Otherwise, with his cultivation at the peak of the eighth level of Body Refining, and the enhancement of his powerful mental and soul power, how could he not have heard this brat's constant mockery?
However, this time, the other party clearly had no intention of hiding his disdain anymore.
Not only was his voice not deliberately lowered, but his tone had also become extremely exaggerated.
While he claimed to be restraining himself, it actually seemed like he was intentionally trying to attract the attention of Qin Xue'er and the others.
"Jia Siwen, is it? If you have something to say, you can say it directly. There's no need to be so secretive."
Since the other party was no longer giving him any face, Qin Xuan decided to address the matter openly.
Seeing that Qin Xuan was initiating a confrontation, Jia Siwen immediately sneered and repeated his earlier words.
"I said, you're showing off again!"
"Jia Siwen, what kind of language is that?"
"Let him speak."
Hearing that Jia Siwen was no longer hiding his intentions, Nan Xi once again attempted to mediate the situation.
But both Qin Xuan and Jia Siwen clearly had no intention of letting her interfere. Helplessly, she could only stand aside, sulking.
As for Qin Xue'er, she had initially wanted to join in and scold Jia Siwen, whom she had just met.
However, firstly, Jia Siwen was Lin Nana's boyfriend, and as a best friend, she couldn't go too far.
Secondly, Qin Xuan had explicitly stated that he didn't want anyone else to get involved in this matter. So, after Nan Xi stepped back, she quietly moved to Nan Xi's side and held her best friend's hand.
"Heh, still showing off?"
"Fine, since you want to hear it, I'll tell you properly."
"It's a good opportunity to let Xue'er and Nan Xi know the true colors of your so-called cousin!"
Pushing up his glasses with his middle finger, Jia Siwen's tone became even more contemptuous.
He first recounted the incident where he and Huo Haoyu saw Qin Xuan washing a car in the parking garage to Qin Xue'er and the others.
Then, he proceeded to mock everything Qin Xuan had done at the French restaurant.
"I don't know anyone who eats two or three steaks when eating steak, or who eats caviar like they've never seen the world before, just opening their mouths to eat."
"Dining with someone like that simply lowers your standards!"
"And that's not all. Do you know what he just said?"
"He said he wants to buy this gown for his sister!"
"A 1.5 million evening gown is something you would hesitate to buy."
"But him?"
"Telling his sister to buy whatever she wants!"
"How can a poor, pathetic bumpkin who drives his boss's car to show off and eats for free dare to say such things?"
"If this isn't showing off, then what is?!"
