"Miss Lin..." the cashier called out in a low voice, his face showing signs of unease. What the hell is happening today!
"What's the matter? Hurry up and swipe it. You guys, grab all those clothes behind her for me!" The more she looked, the more displeased she became. That cheap girl, she should live in lowliness.
Those clothes were simply not something Gu Xiaoer was worthy of.
But as for Lin Kexin's words, no one would actually lift a finger.
The waitstaff wouldn't dare, they were too busy praying for their own luck. The bodyguards, even less likely to follow Lin Kexin's orders.
Ai Le quietly nudged Gu Xiaoer's hand, a face full of concern: "Xiaoer, what if it's too much? I'm starting to regret encouraging you to do this..."
But after hearing about Lin Kexin's intention to buy everything, Gu Xiaoer seemed completely unfazed, the picture of calmness. She whispered to Ai Le, "Isn't it better if she buys everything, idiot!"
Ai Le now felt really ashamed. A fool might indeed have dumb luck, it seemed that all of Lin Kexin's devious scheming only amounted to being an idiot in Gu Xiaoer's eyes.
However, seeing the state Lin Kexin was in, she actually felt a bit of sympathy for her. Spending tens of millions for satisfaction, even for the rich, was indeed quite foolish. If Lin Kexin knew Gu Xiaoer's true thoughts, she would probably cough up blood.
Even though she was worried, she gradually calmed down.
Meanwhile, the cashier was stammering.
"Hurry up and swipe it!" Lin Kexin urged impatiently, as if the next second she might be robbed. What was she worried about being taken? It was nothing more than a matter of face.
Face? She shook her head. Of course not. If there was anything in this world that could make Gu Xiaoer's life difficult, she would do everything in her power to accomplish it. She simply could not stand to see Gu Xiaoer doing well.
"Miss Lin, your card..." the cashier said in a low voice, "can't be swiped."
"Can't be swiped, how is that possible? Is it because the amount is too large, and you can't handle it?" Lin Kexin was using her mother's card; she didn't know how much money was on it, but buying out the store was not supposed to be an issue.
"Ah, no! It's your card... insufficient funds..." the cashier struggled to utter these words.
"Hahahaha!" Laughter echoed throughout the store from Ai Le as the embarrassment imploded without them lifting a finger.
The sales staff all bowed their heads and kept their distance. They were afraid that the young lady's temper would explode and they would catch the fallout.
Now, it was Lin Kexin's turn to blush furiously. Just moments ago, she had grandly offered to buy all the clothes, but now her card was insufficient. No matter how assertive she was, her dignity could not be preserved. She couldn't believe it—how could her mother's card not have tens of millions on it?!
Ai Le, supporting herself on barely straightened knees, slapped Gu Xiaoer on the shoulder, laughing so hard she trembled, "Xiaoer, some people are running a deficit!"
"Insufficient funds, intelligence overdue!" It came out as smoothly as if it were meant to be, from the imbecilic Gu Xiaoer.
Ai Le was tickled once more, giving a thumbs-up: "Xiaoer, that was a killer jab!"
Lin Kexin bit her lip so hard she could have drawn blood, wishing death upon Gu Xiaoer and Ai Le. She had to reclaim that breath even if it killed her.
"Impossible! Swipe it again, is it something wrong with your machine?!"
It wasn't until the cashier swiped it three times with the same result that Lin Kexin finally admitted defeat.
"It must be your machine's fault, try swiping his and see if it works. I can't believe his will work!" Lin Kexin still couldn't accept it, watching the cashier as he went to swipe Han Luoli's card.
"Sir, your card." The cashier swiped the card smoothly and gave the waiter a look.
Immediately, the waiter went over to Gu Xiaoer: "Miss Gu, I was blind not to recognize Mt. Tai, please forgive my foolishness!"
The attitude had improved astronomically from before. That level of humility and self-degradation made one decidedly uncomfortable.
"Hey, what's with you guys? You!"
Only now did Lin Kexin truly feel dumbfounded, the reversal of the situation leaving her slapped in the face. How could she accept it?
