Chapter 59 - Poor Man
"Shen Fanxing, why are you so shameless?!"
Even a fool could tell the underlying derision under Shen Fanxing's words, let alone Lin Feifei.
Yet, it was precisely her words that made Su Heng's heart sink.
His face held a degree of iciness.
He was, after all, a man, a man with high social status. Shen Fanxing's stamping of his pride was enough to anger him!
"Give me the money now and I'll take off the dress immediately. Ten-fold, so it's 280 million."
"2…280 million?!"
Lin Feifei nearly lost her mind.
This gown was custom-tailored, yet they were paying for the price of a private-tailored dress.
"Why? Can't bear to pay? It's said that gold can't buy a beauty's smile and here you are, hesitating?"
Su Heng gave Shen Fanxing a darkened look and took out his cheque book. He wrote a 300-million cheque for her.
Shen Fanxing cast a casual gaze on the cheque before taking it and going into the fitting room.
"I think she's gone crazy over money!"
Seeing the 300 million that Su Heng had spent to get her the dress, Shen Qianrou swooned with excitement, though not forgetting to put up her act of pretense. In a gentle tone, she comforted,
"Don't say that, Feifei. Sister still has a company that she's trying to manage arduously. Since she's at odds with the family, it's normal for her to lack money…"
"That's why… how dare she come here and shop when she's obviously poor!"
Not too long later, Shen Fanxing changed and gave the dress to Su Heng.
"Take it."
Su Heng handed the gown to an attendant before saying,
"If your company is facing some difficulties, you can tell me…"
A rush of cold wind swept past his body and Su Heng realized Shen Fanxing left without listening to his speech.
He ceased speaking. Looking at her back, he was reminded of the look he got from her, her eyes devoid of emotions.
His dark orbs held complicated emotions, his heart unsettled.
"Let's go, Grandma."
Lady Bo and Lai Rong had already turned towards the exit. Shen Fanxing walked alongside them.
"Thank you, I really like the dress."
Especially since the dress was paid for by Su Heng, taken from Shen Fanxing.
"As long as you like it, do you want to continue shopping?"
"No, I'm going back to the company. I think the reporters at the entrance have almost dispersed."
"I'll send you."
Shen Qianrou got into a dilemma upon hearing that. She said, "I drove here… Feifei can drive your car while you send me back with my car."
Su Heng seemed to smile as he looked at her, Shen Qianrou bowed her head in shyness.
"I don't want to leave you now that I've met you… Take it that you're accompanying me…"
At last, Su Heng compromised. Yet, Shen Qianrou went to the driver's seat when they reached the car park.
"I can drive you back to the company,"
said Shen Qianrou as she stared at Su Heng with that pretty face of hers, causing Su Heng to give in resignedly.
"Honey, why did you agree to sell her the gown? Even if it doesn't suit you, you should not have let them gain the advantage!"
Lady Bo said, though her face was peaceful.
Shen Fanxing gave a light laugh and replied, "If something is unsuitable for me, I can give it away for free. So I've profited this time around."
The Old Lady smiled and continued, "Seems like all these years of experiences have not gone to waste. I was still afraid that you won't be willing to let go at the hospital the previous time."
Smiling, Shen Fanxing said, "One can suffer a loss, but not so forever."
Feeling disappointed, Lai Rong lamented, "That ostentatious woman has benefited. She must be on top of the world now!"
The Old Lady wisely commented, "Let her be happy for a while, there will come a day when she cries!"
