章 114: really become wealthy?
Upon hearing her manager's words, Winni secretly rolled her eyes. Apologizing to Jake just now felt embarrassing to her. On the surface, she appeared sincere, but internally, she was resentful. She didn't think Jake had the capability to make a purchase here. However, in front of the manager, Winni dared not reveal her true feelings. She was eager to see how Jake would handle his "girlfriend's" demand in public.
"Darling, this watch looks quite nice," Xenia, still linked arm in arm with Jake, playfully pointed to a watch and asked Jake.
Winni glanced at the watch and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. The watch had an exquisite design, well-crafted and suitable for women to wear. Winni also wished she could own one, but the price of 650,000 yuan was way beyond her reach. She didn't believe Jake had the means to afford it either. Now, she wanted to see how Jake would handle his "girlfriend's" request.
"Perhaps he'll say the watch doesn't look good and doesn't match her," Winni thought to herself, "or maybe he'll claim he didn't bring his bank card?" Regardless, Winni didn't believe Jake could buy that watch.
Currently, Jake indeed couldn't afford it. He didn't understand why Xenia was saying this. Just as he was about to decline, he suddenly felt a card appear in his hand. Jake lowered his head and saw that it was a bank card. What did this mean?
Confused, Jake looked at Xenia. Clearly, she had secretly slipped him the bank card. However, Xenia continued to wear a brilliant smile, as if she were oblivious to the situation. Women truly were masters at acting. The manager acted promptly, taking out the watch for Xenia to try on.
"Darling, how does it look? Beautiful, isn't it?" Xenia held up her fair arm, displaying the watch in front of Jake.
"Beautiful," Jake nodded. The watch was already beautiful, and on Xenia's delicate and fair wrist, it appeared even more dazzling.
"So, what are you waiting for? Go pay already. Don't you love me anymore?" Xenia pouted and leaned closer to Jake's face, as if she were about to kiss him.
"The PIN is 666," Xenia whispered in a voice only Jake could hear.
Jake wasn't naive; he understood Xenia's intention. She was using her card to save his face. Jake felt grateful for Xenia's thoughtfulness, but he also felt it wasn't necessary.
Previously, Jake might have cared about his classmates' opinions and wanted to prove he was doing well. However, the current Jake had shed his vanity. Although he wasn't exactly wealthy, his future was promising, which made him less concerned about others' opinions. Clearly, others didn't know about Jake's immense potential. His perspective had expanded, and he wasn't as affected by superficial matters anymore.
As Jake was about to decline Xenia's kind offer, she suddenly raised his hand and exclaimed, "Honey, I knew you'd care about me the most. You've even taken out the card."
The manager and Winni, who had been laughing at Jake's situation, also noticed the bank card in his hand.
"Could it be that he actually has the money to buy this watch?" Winni wondered.
Winni sized up Jake from head to toe. Although his clothes looked decent, they weren't from any famous brands she knew. They might be replicas. Could this kind of Jake really afford to spend hundreds of thousands on a watch?
"Manager, please proceed with the payment," Xenia snatched the bank card from Jake's hand and handed it to the manager.
Jake smiled helplessly, not saying anything. After all, the money was Xenia's, and she wanted to buy the watch. He had no right to interfere.
"Alright," the manager wore a professional smile as she received the bank card with both hands.
"Wait!" Just as the manager turned around, Xenia called out to her, "This watch is nice too, let's buy this one as well."
Xenia was pointing to a men's watch, and the price of that watch was a staggering 800,000 yuan. Winni's eyes nearly popped out. Jake had really struck it rich. He was buying two watches worth hundreds of thousands all of a sudden?
Jake was also inwardly surprised by Xenia's financial capacity. The combined cost of these two watches was over 1 million . Xenia had effortlessly bought them without any hesitation ,she truly was wealthy.
"Before, I thought having over 9 million was a lot and made me wealthy, but now, compared to truly wealthy people, my money falls far short," Jake mused to himself.
"Alright," the manager's smile grew even wider. She turned to Winni, who was still in a daze, and said, "Quickly help pack these up."
"Oh, okay, sure," Winni responded in a dazed manner. Her eyes, however, remained fixed on Jake. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to Jake in the past year. How did he suddenly become so wealthy?
"How much money can you make in a year? Is Jake just showing off with borrowed ? Will he have insufficient funds when it's time to pay? That would be interesting," Winni couldn't believe that Jake had earned so much money in just a year.
The group approached the cashier's counter. Under Xenia's urging, Jake entered the PIN, and Winni, standing to the side, kept her eyes on the computer screen. She was eager to witness a failed payment.
However, the result disappointed her greatly. Jake's payments went through successfully, and the card balance indicated that there was still over 3 million yuan left. In other words, Jake had earned around 5 million yuan in the past year? What had he been up to? How did he manage to earn so much money? Did he rob a bank? Winni couldn't wrap her head around it.
"Honey, you're so good to me. You've accompanied me shopping today and spent so much. How should I repay you?" Xenia cast a disdainful glance at a bewildered Winni and continued to use her sweet voice to coquettishly speak to Jake.
"As long as you're happy," Jake replied.
Jake's intention was actually to convey that this entire performance was orchestrated by Xenia, and he was merely going along with it. His only goal was to make her happy. However, this statement, when heard by Winni, sounded exactly like how a boyfriend would respond affectionately to his girlfriend. At this moment, Winni also noticed the shopping bags that Jake had brought in, all from well-known brand stores within the mall.
