Chapter 27. A Poor Girl Who Can't Afford it

 A few minutes later, Ji Ningyan stood in front of a counter of luxury goods. She had taken a fancy to one of the couple watches.

 The men's watch was perfect and friendly, while the women's watch was lovely. At first glance, she felt that this couple watch was very suitable for big brother and sister Cancan.

 "Hello, I would like to try this pair of watches." Ningyan lifted her head, speaking to the nearby shopkeeper.

 Seeing that she was wearing cheap clothes from street stalls, the shopkeeper's attitude became a little more disdainful. She didn't even move her feet and said arrogantly, "I'm sorry, but this watch is on sale."

 Ji Ningyan choked for a moment. She asked, "Is this the rule of your shop? I can't even try?"

 It's just a watch, and it's not a private thing. It's too much of an exaggeration to say that I can't try it on.

 "Yes, this is a special rule in our shop. Is there a problem? " Not only did the shopkeeper not feel guilty, she even raised her voice and asked with a look of disdain.

 In comparison, only now did Ji Ningyan realize just how friendly the clothing store employees had been.

 The shopkeeper looked down on her, so Ji Ningyan naturally decided not to stay there and suffer.

 There were many counters in the mall, and she was not the only one who sold watches.

 As she thought of this, Ningyan's face turned cold, and she turned to leave.

 Right at this moment, two figures walked towards them. Ji Ningyan immediately recognized one of them as Lu Yian's younger sister, Lu Siyuan.

 "I could hear the commotion from far away. What happened?" Lu Siyuan raised an eyebrow. When she saw Ji Ningyan, a smug smile appeared on her face.

 When the arrogant female shopkeeper saw Lu Siyuan, she immediately flattered her. "It's all because of a certain poor girl. She didn't buy our watches but wanted to take advantage of us …."

 She recognized Lu Siyuan. She was a VIP guest in her friend's store. It was said that she was very generous and didn't even blink when she bought luxury goods.

 Ningyan had never met someone who could twist the truth like this. She was so angry that her face had turned white. "Be more polite with your words!"

 "What did I say wrong? Can you afford it? I've seen a lot of people like you. You think our watches look good, so you want to take a picture of them when you try them out and buy fake goods online!"

 Lu Siyuan seemed to have heard something unbelievable as she said earnestly, "No way, taking photos to buy counterfeit goods? Ji Ningyan, you are the second young Miss of the Ji clan. How could you do such a lowly thing?"

 They all knew that Ji Ningyan, the second young lady of the Ji clan, was nothing more than an empty display. For her to say it in public, naturally, it was to humiliate Ji Ningyan.

 Lu Siyuan didn't like Ji Ningyan.

 The first reason was that Ji Ningyan had been beautiful since she was young, so beautiful that everyone in the surroundings knew her. This made her feel that Ji Ningyan had stolen her thunder.

 The second reason was that after Ji Ningyan and Lu Yian's marriage had been confirmed, her grandfather treated Ji Ningyan as his future granddaughter-in-law. He would often buy Ji Ningyan expensive gifts.

 Her brother was just as good. Whenever he had something good, he would never forget to ingratiate himself with Ji Ningyan.

 And so, Lu Siyuan's resentment towards Ji Ningyan grew.

 Ji Ningyan laughed coldly in her heart. She looked past Lu Siyuan and stared coldly at the shopkeeper. "You're saying that I can't afford it?"

 "Yes, so what?"

 The storekeeper fearlessly retorted, not paying attention to Ji Ningyan's reaction.

 Ningyan took a card from her wallet and threw it in front of her. "Wrap up the watch for me. Also, I want you to apologize to me personally!" Ningyan said.

 "What?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a second, and then her face was full of ridicule. "Apologize to you? Are you kidding me?"
