She must have heard it wrong!
"Forty." Chiang Xiao repeated the sentence.
Even He Jin was startled this time, his eyes widening as he looked at Chiang Xiao.
"Hey, little sister, taking advantage of the situation to demand more money is not right!" the woman said to Chiang Xiao with righteous indignation. "Although I don't lack these forty bucks, I'm not a sucker! If this box of pastries really costs forty, would you be so generous as to give it to He Jin?"
Chiang Xiao replied calmly, "Hmm, if he hadn't sold paintings for me for free, indeed, I wouldn't be so generous."
Pfft.
That was quite blunt.
He Jin couldn't contain his laughter again. He glanced at the woman and said gleefully, "Wu Xiayue, did you hear that? If you can't afford it, you'd better return the stuff! Why are you holding onto something you can't afford so tightly?"
Chiang Xiao couldn't help but give him a look.
