Chapter 519: Dark Shadows Came to the World Quietly

Yuanyuan went to Su's house with her mother, but since it was a temporary visit, she couldn't go empty-handed, so the mother and daughter went to a nearby shopping mall to buy a gift.

Yuanyuan asked obediently: "Mom, what gift does Grandma Su like?"

Yuanyuan's mother thought for a while: "The Su family lacks everything. I saw Mrs. Su's dancing video posted on the short video platform before. She was wearing an jade bracelet on her hand..."

When you don’t know what a person likes, first look at what she is wearing and what she is wearing, and then make a purchase based on that. Generally, you won’t make any mistakes.

For example, Mrs. Su wears an jade bracelet. If you give her another jade bracelet, the other party will most likely like it. Even if she doesn't like it, she won't step on her taboo point.

Yuanyuan's mother asked while talking, "Do you understand?"

Yuanyuan seemed to understand but not quite.

Yuanyuan's mother gave an example: "For example, you can observe what your uncle likes, and we will give him what he likes... This is called catering to his liking."

Yuanyuan thought for a while and said: "Uncle likes black off-road vehicles, very tall and handsome off-road vehicles."

Yuanyuan's mother choked for a moment.

She also saw that off-road vehicle. It looked not cheap at first glance, it should cost more than a few million...

She can't afford it.

The two of them went to the mall to choose jadeite.

Naturally, the gift given to Mrs. Su couldn’t be too bad. Yuanyuan’s mother kept choosing, becoming more and more embarrassed.

The salesperson said with a smile: "If you want to give it to the elderly, purple jade is the best."

"Purple jadeite is divided into five color grades. The best one is royal purple. This is very rare and we don't even have it in our store..."

"Then there is red and purple. Red and purple are also very beautiful. It is the color second only to royal purple. This bracelet is the highlight of our store."

The salesman saw that Yuanyuan's mother was a noble lady, so he tried his best to sell her: "This red and purple bracelet is not expensive, only 28 million..."

Under the purple jade there are also blue-violet, violet, pink-violet, but she doesn't promote them.

Yuanyuan's mother's head was buzzing after hearing this. She couldn't afford to give away a multi-million SUV, let alone a bracelet worth more than 20 million.

She kept smiling calmly and said lightly: "It's just a gift to a senior from my hometown whom I don't know very well. It doesn't need to be so nice."

The salesman was a little disappointed, but even if he wasn't very familiar with it, he could understand it.

She picked up another blue and purple bracelet: "What do you think of this? It only costs over ten million."

Yuanyuan's mother shook her head: "No need."

In fact, if she had money, when wouldn't it be better to give her a 20 million red and purple bracelet? But she has no money!

Not even ten million!

The salesman could only pick up the last violet bracelet: "That's the only one. The pink and purple ones will be cheaper, but the color is not suitable for the elderly..."

This sentence was a bit straightforward. A concubine selling bracelets next to her glanced over. Yuanyuan's mother felt embarrassed, but she could only hold on and nodded: "Well, this is it. How much does it cost?"

The salesman said: "This is 2.8 million, can I wrap it up for you?"

From 28 million to 2.8 million, it will be a shame if you don't buy it.

Yuanyuan's mother nodded calmly: "Wrap it up..."

Just then a call came in, and she said, "Wait a minute, I'll answer the call."

She doesn't have 2.8 million.

Even though she married into a wealthy family, her monthly pocket money is less than a fraction of her original wife's daughter. Her husband is ten years older than her and is quite stingy.

He would only give her some things and not allow her to buy them herself, saying that it would be too expensive for her to buy them by herself, and it would be cheaper for him to buy them from acquaintances.

She is not allowed to swipe credit cards, owe money, or play cards...

So Yuanyuan’s mother wanted to take advantage of the phone call to get out, and then quickly find someone to borrow money.

She was also afraid that others would see that she was using the phone as an excuse to borrow money, so she "kept" Yuanyuan at the counter.

"Yuanyuan, wait for mom here. Mom will be back after answering the phone," she said.

Yuanyuan nodded.

Ten minutes have passed.

Yuanyuan looked outside uneasily. Her mother was still on the phone, with a springy smile, as if she was forgetting herself while chatting with her best friend.

Half an hour passed, Yuanyuan's mother was still on the phone, and people around her began to look at her strangely.

Someone whispered: "You can't afford it, right... Are you calling someone to borrow money? When I saw her just now, she looked like she was trying to make a fool of herself."

"I think so... tsk tsk, she's dressed like a lady, and the bracelet on her hand is quite expensive. I guess it costs several hundred to ten million... I didn't expect that I would have to borrow two million."

"Don't you know... There is a kind of 'socialite' who takes photos and checks in every day to show off. Who knows if that bracelet is rented..."

Those sounds were very low, but Yuanyuan heard them. She had good hearing since she was a child. She often heard the sound of her sister going upstairs, the sound of her father coming back, the sound of her father calling, the sound of her parents quarreling... With this information, she learned

By looking at people's faces, I have developed my listening skills without even realizing it.

She felt those people peeking at her while talking.

"You deliberately kept your daughter here because you were afraid that others would laugh at her?"

"It's so pitiful to be her daughter."

Yuanyuan lowered her head and her face turned red.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She is also the daughter of a wealthy family, and her little cousin always gets what she wants. I heard that Su Bao's uncle even bought an island to use as an amusement park for her.

Everyone dotes on her, loves her, and will never embarrass her.

But in comparison, she herself is so embarrassed. Her mother has to ask someone to borrow money to buy a bracelet, and she still has to sit here and be laughed at by others...

Yuanyuan secretly vowed in her heart: She must be loved by her uncle.

My mother said that my uncle was very powerful. Not only was he rich, he also had a very high status. That was a status that could not be bought with money. Everyone respected him.

If she had such an uncle who doted on her, bought her whatever she wanted, and spent a lot of money on her... then she would no longer be laughed at wherever she went.

Yuanyuan's mother made nearly forty minutes of phone calls and finally got a loan and went into the store to pay for the bracelet.

Shopping should be a happy thing, but Yuanyuan's mother felt that she had lost all face, so she took Yuanyuan away and left quickly.

Because of this episode, it was already too late after they left the mall.

Yuanyuan asked weakly: "Mom, are you still going to visit Grandma Su?"

Yuanyuan's mother was embarrassed and not in a good mood, so she said, "Let's go tomorrow!"

"Yuanyuan, remember, when you go to visit someone, you must not go when others are eating, unless you make an appointment in advance. Otherwise, it will be rude."

Yuanyuan asked: "Why?"

She really wanted to go. Children are not as careful as adults, so Yuanyuan felt that if she went, she could please the old lady. If the old lady likes her, her uncle should accept her more quickly.

While the mother and daughter were talking, a faint black energy could not be seen entering the bracelet worn by Yuanyuan's mother...

"Ho ho ho... Yuanyuan..."

Yuanyuan suddenly heard someone calling her, but when she looked left and right, there was no one there. The voice was indistinguishable from male to female, and was somewhat similar to the villain's voice with special effects in the movie.

Yuanyuan's mother saw that she was distracted and frowned: "Yuanyuan, are you listening?"
