Chapter 620 Can You Afford It?

The next day, Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei went out to meet the so-called president of the largest trading house in the area.

Sitting in the carriage, she repeatedly looked down at the simple dress she was wearing, and then looked at Mo Lingwei. He was now used to wearing ordinary cloth.

"If we go to meet your friend, should we dress better and be more formal?"

"That's not a friend, it's a subordinate." Mo Lingwei played with the folding fan, a faint smile appeared on his stern face, only for Shen Ningning.

"Besides, we are living in Ren Mansion now and need to conceal our identity. He also knows about this. It doesn't matter. You can treat it as just going out with me to relax."

After hearing this, Shen Ningning felt relieved.

But unexpectedly, they got off the carriage and were stopped as soon as they reached the market entrance.

"Sir, madam, our master has asked a villain to come and take care of you." A voice of apology came from outside.

Mo Lingwei and Shen Ningning were stunned when they saw the formation in front of them.

A well-dressed attendant stood in front of them, and behind him, there were more than a dozen boys.

They lowered their heads, bowed their hands, and shouted: "See you, sir, see your lady!"

Such a large formation attracted the attention of the people passing by.

Shen Ningning hurriedly hid behind Mo Lingwei and lowered her head.

Mo Lingwei frowned: "Your master never said that I should keep a low profile?"

"I said it, I said it, so this time I only arranged for twelve people plus the little ones to greet them." The leader of the entourage apologized. After seeing Mo Lingwei's calm expression, he immediately realized that it was too exaggerated.

So, he immediately turned around and shouted sternly: "Get away, everyone, don't get so close!"

Then he held his hands to Mo Lingwei, with a smile on his face: "Sir, Madam, please follow me this way. Our master has booked the third floor of Furong Building and is waiting for you."

Seeing the entourage leading the way, Shen Ningning lowered her voice and asked Mo Lingwei beside her: "Didn't you say that this president knows that we want to hide our identities? Why did he still arrange for so many people to come? The battle is too big."

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips: "He was frightened out of his wits when he heard that I was coming, and when he heard that I was taking you with me, he almost knelt down for me on the spot. He was probably too excited, so he tried to keep a low profile, but he was also very transparent. I don’t dare to neglect.”

Shen Ningning soon discovered that what Mo Lingwei said was right.

They didn't take two steps before three more brightly dressed maids came to greet Shen Ningning and the others.

Mo Lingwei frowned: "What are you doing?"

The attendant smiled apologetically and said, "I heard that the young master's wife has had a hard time here and doesn't have many suitable clothes and jewelry, so I wanted to do my best to be a landlord and give my wife some sets of beautiful clothes and jewelry."

As he said that, he looked at Shen Ningning: "Follow these three maids. Guangxiu Tower is opposite Furong Tower. Madam can choose carefully. Our master has already paid all the expenses."

Shen Ningning wanted to politely refuse, but unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei agreed with this approach.

"When you went out, didn't you say that the clothes were too plain? Go ahead and pick them out. If you see something you like, just take it. There's no need to skimp on it."

The entourage rubbed his hands and smiled: "Yes, yes! The master said that the lady can spend a lot of time."

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes silently: "Okay."

She left with the three maids and entered the Guangxiu Building not far away. Mo Lingwei watched her enter before turning to the Furong Building opposite.

Furong House is the largest tavern in the area and is expensive. Only dignitaries usually come here to dine.

There are three floors in total. The first floor is for ordinary people to dine, and the second floor is for private rooms. Generally, people who can get an appointment in the private rooms of Furong Tower are already rich or noble in Lingshan City.

But the third floor is even more special because it is high and has a good view. You can see the entire Tianshan Mountains in the distance, covered with snow, which is pleasing to the eye. Therefore, only high-ranking officials and wealthy people have been able to go up there.

From the window on the third floor, you can just see Shen Ningning selecting fabrics in the Guangxiu Building opposite.

When Shen Ningning came, there was no one in the Guangxiu Building. The shopkeeper and the four female clerks responsible for guiding the purchase greeted her with smiles, and a group of people waited on her.

They took her to the private room at the back and brought her countless mahogany trays, on which were placed jade jewelry, gold jewelry, and silver utensils. After a while, several female waiters brought her The most expensive and finest silks from the store were delivered.

Shen Ningning already owns a lot of these things in the capital. When she came here to take a look, she didn't show any particular surprise in her eyes.

The shopkeeper is a businessman, and the president has specifically told her to take good care of this lady. Seeing that this lady is wearing ordinary clothes, but she is so calm in front of the treasure, you know that she has a lot of background.

"Madam, do you feel dissatisfied with these? There are better ones in the building, do you want to take a look?"

"No need, they're all good." Shen Ningning thought that she could just pick two of them as she had too many good things.

At this moment, a woman's voice came from the lobby outside.

"Where is your shopkeeper? Isn't it a joke to ask your shopkeeper to come out? Our lady came here just now and took a fancy to the piece of golden silk. It was only when we went back to get the silver that you said the piece of cloth was gone?"

The sound was so loud that Shen Ningning also heard it. She lowered her eyes and saw that the thing in front of her was the piece of golden silk.

It has a gold-like color, is slippery to the touch, does not stick to your hands, and does not wrinkle. It is a fine fabric.

The shopkeeper's face flashed with embarrassment, and he comforted Shen Ningning, saying: "Madam, please take a look at these jewelry first. I will go outside to deal with them first."

As he said this, he hurried out.

Four female assistants surrounded Shen Ningning and helped her try on the hairpin.

During this period, the quarrel outside never stopped, and the shopkeeper's voice of apology was mixed in, which seemed extremely powerless.

The voice of the maid yelled and scolded: "Sold it to someone else? You said it was sold to someone else, and our lady made a wasted trip. Do you know who our son-in-law is? Without our master's help, the son-in-law can make your store closed!"

The shopkeeper was anxious: "Mr. Zhao, who doesn't know!"

"You dare to neglect it even if you know it? Tell me, who did you sell that thousand-gold silk to? Now let our lady get it back."

A familiar voice came immediately: "I can offer double the price."

Shen Ningning paused when she picked up the ruby ​​bracelet.

It seemed to be Ren Er's voice?

After the last lightning incident, Ren Er was frightened and ran away with her husband Zhao Lei that night.

Shen Ningning thought that she walked so fast that she couldn't scare her again.

Now, they bumped into each other again.

How could the shopkeeper dare to agree? The thousand-gold silk had been given to the wife of the big man behind, so how could he take it out?

But the power of the Zhao family was not something that a small shop like his could provoke.

"Mrs. Zhao, calm down. How about this? I'll buy another piece of Qianjin silk the next day and send it to your house first."

Ren Er sat on the chair, touching his fingertips calmly: "Next time? I always make others wait, and no one dares to make me wait. Shopkeeper, I think you are not honest in doing business. I have offered double the price, but you still don't agree. Don't blame me for asking the servants to smash your store. Anyway, you are not honest."

The maid beside her said to the servants: "Do it!"

The shopkeeper said no, and at this moment, a bright figure walked out of the room.

"I thought who is so powerful that he wants to smash other people's shops to vent his anger. It turns out to be you, sister Ren Er." Shen Ningning smiled.

When Ren Er saw her, he was as if he saw a ghost, and his eyes widened.

"Why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to buy things."

"Just you?" Ren Er blurted out: "Can you afford it?" (End of this chapter)
