Chapter 25
Xavia was particularly aggrieved because of the incident from last time.
This was especially because Richard had bought an expensive bag for another girl. This made Xavia and Yuri feel positively embarrassed!
That was why Xavia pointed her finger at Richard as she cursed at him, simply wanting to stimulate and humiliate him.
“Hello, fellow students. This is a public place, so please do not make so much noise here!” Just then, a salesgirl walked over as she smiled politely at Xavia.
This was because Xavia was speaking so loudly that it was interrupting other customers who were shopping in the gift shop at the time.
“What do you mean? Are you trying to chase me out of your shop? Can’t you open your eyes and see how many things I’ve bought in your gift shop today? He is the one you should be driving away!”
Xavia then reluctantly continued, “Ask your manager to come over here! Are you going to drive away your most distinguished customers who can afford to buy the clothes in this shop, or are you going to let these people who have no money at all simply hang around in your gift shop?”
The salesgirl was terrified at this moment. After calling for her manager, the salesgirl felt that this girl was not that easy to deal with, and she was surely going to lose her job at this point.
The salesgirl was placed in a very difficult position.
On the other hand, Yuri was simply observing the scene and enjoying the show with a smile on his face.
He felt that he had a lot of face, especially since so many people were staring at them at this time.
Harper had initially picked a dress that was worth a few hundred dollars, but when he heard Xavia ridiculing Richard, he decided to put down the dress before pulling Richard aside and saying, “Richard, let’s go and shop somewhere else instead!”
In truth, he had already decided to buy that dress for Hayley. However, he knew that if he went to the counter to pay for the dress, Xavia would not mock him, but she would definitely continue mocking and insulting Richard. Harper did not want to make things difficult for Richard.
After all, the only reason why Richard was at the gift shop was because of him.
“Leave?” Richard asked as he smiled faintly.
“Why should we leave when we are also going to buy some clothes here?” Richard continued speaking as he glanced at Xavia and Yuri.
Richard had always felt that Yuri was acting a little strange. During this time, Richard had heard stories and rumors about Yuri being more generous than ever. This meant that he had gotten a lot richer than he was before.
Still, even if his family was wealthy, it was not normal for him to be spending money so nonchalantly.
Furthermore, he was even spending thousands of dollars just to buy some clothes for Xavia right now. It was a huge increase in his standards.
Richard could not understand why his self-esteem and pride would always be aroused and challenged whenever he ran into his ex-girlfriend, Xavia.
Perhaps it was because Richard had really loved Xavia deeply in the past, and he was also truly hurt by her actions and words.
At this time, Richard turned around and looked at the salesgirl before saying, “Please take out some of the most expensive clothes in your gift shop so that we can choose from that selection instead!”
“Huh?” The salesgirl was taken aback for a moment, but since the customer had already said so, she could only do as he asked.
“Hahaha. Richard, can you even afford to buy any clothes from this shop? You must have spent every single cent from the thirty thousand dollars that you won from the lottery. What are you even going to buy here?” Yuri sneered.
“Yes, don’t make a fool out of yourself!” Xavia chimed in as soon as she heard Yuri insulting Richard.
In her heart, Xavia was wondering how Richard could possibly compare himself to her. How could he possibly compete with her?!
Richard shook his head wryly.
Could he afford it? If he really wanted to, he could buy up all of the clothing in this shop!
Xavia, oh Xavia. If she had not broken up with him, Richard would definitely be willing to buy her anything that she wanted in this world!
Just then, the salesgirl came over with a few pieces of precious and expensive clothing in her hand.
Xavia was stunned when she saw the price tag on the clothes. The most expensive piece amongst these dresses was already worth more than twelve thousand dollars!
Oh, my God!
The salesgirl had listened to Richard’s demand and brought out all the most expensive clothing that she could find in the gift shop.
In fact, the salesgirl only did so after careful consideration.
Judging by Richard’s clothing and dressing, she knew that he obviously could not afford to buy any of the clothes in their shop.
However, since there were so many people who had gathered to watch the show, she felt that it would be the best time for her to take out some of these clothes and take advantage of the situation to advertise their products at the same time.
These five pieces of clothing were all one of a kind, and they could easily add up to a total price of more than thirty thousand dollars!
At this time, Xavia could not help but feel excited as she looked at the dresses in the salesgirl’s hands.
She quickly turned around as she looked eagerly at Yuri.
Yuri could feel his cheeks burning up. Out of those five dresses, the cheapest one already cost ten thousand dollars!
It was simply too expensive!
“Help me pick one! Brother Harper, you should pick one too. I will buy it for you as a gift!”
Richard smiled as he spoke.
Harper was initially very reluctant to accept Richard’s offer. After all, the clothes were too expensive. He did not want Richard to spend too much money at this shop today.
Harper also assumed that Richard had probably spent most of the money he had won from the lottery.
In the end, when Harper saw the affirmative look on Richard’s face, he knew that Richard was not joking at this time.
Therefore, he simply nodded in response.
In the blink of an eye, Richard and Harper had already chosen the two most expensive dresses amongst the five pieces of clothing.
“Huh, can you even afford to buy it?!” Xavia was not convinced at all.
After that, Xavia looked at Yuri before she said, “Brother Yuri, I want to buy one too!”
“This pauper can never afford to buy those clothes! He is just being very shameless right now! Xavia, I do not have any more extra money to spend this month!” Yuri suddenly felt very anxious when he saw that he was about to finish spending all the money that he had gotten.
Therefore, he tried persuading and coaxing Xavia at this time.
The salesgirl obviously did not expect Richard to buy anything at all. After making his selection, Richard took out his bank card to pay for the clothing.
Two pieces of clothing were already tens of thousands of dollars! Moreover, Richard even chose the most expensive ones!
“D*mn it! Is he really going to buy those clothes?”
“I thought this was just a drama between the ex-boyfriend who ran into the ex-girlfriend with the new boyfriend! That is why they have a grudge between them. Unexpectedly, he is going to spend tens of thousands of dollars here today. Can this kid truly afford to buy these clothes?”
“Hahaha! It seems as though the new boyfriend is lagging behind right now. Everything depends on whether this ex-boyfriend can actually afford to pay for this clothing.”
The crowd of people watched in excitement as they fixed their eyes on Yuri and Richard.
Yuri was about to lose face again. However, he maintained his calm and composure.
He did not intend to leave at all. He wanted to stay back and watch the show. He wanted to see how Richard would embarrass himself today.
