"Take a look."
With over a dozen eyes fixed on her, even though Wang Nan Nan was unwilling, she had no choice but to bring over the bill and glance at it quickly.
Just that one glance made her heart skip a beat, and her nails nearly dug into her flesh.
The total for the three people's projects was 1.5 million.
The main expense was the face masks, which were particularly expensive. All three had chosen a week's experience project, which alone accounted for nearly a million.
This amount was within her expectations, after all, she purposely picked the most expensive face mask to try out, even choosing seven of them. At that time, the sisters who came with her all praised her for her extravagance.
But she was counting on Jiang Lai to foot the bill, otherwise, she would never have chosen such an expensive project!
Her family indeed wasn't short on money, but they weren't so extravagant as to spend over a million on beauty treatments in a day!
Unlike Jiang Lai, who could use Shen Liao's supplemental card as much as she wanted without a care.
1.5 million, that's her living expenses for half a year!
"Jiang Lai, I've hit the limit on my card today and can't charge this much. Could you pay for me first, and I'll pay you back some other day, okay?"
Jiang Lai blinked and looked at them curiously.
"And you two, what kind of card has such a low limit?"
Was she really stupid or just pretending?
Her credit card could certainly charge that much, but if her parents found out, it would inevitably lead to a scolding.
Before the two could say anything, Jiang Lai had already taken out her phone.
"Didn't you all just post on Weibo? There are so many people underneath praising how rich you are. Wow, Ms. Nan Nan, Sister Yahan, you're recognized as white, rich, and beautiful. How could there not be over a million in a white-rich-beautiful card? Besides, I thought you were treating me today, so I didn't bring my card."
Jiang Lai spread out her hands and continued sipping her Jasmine tea, over four thousand a pot, with no waste at all.
The manager cautiously glanced at Wang Nan Nan.
"Miss Wang, you see..."
"Ms. Nan Nan, it's just 1.5 million. You're, after all, a guest invited to the Chanel early spring show, such money is just a drop in the bucket."
Seeing Wang Nan Nan's face turn worse, Li Yahan quickly jumped in to smooth things over.
"Girls hang out to have fun, so how about this, we each pay our own share, which makes it easier to meet up next time."
"Oh, so you guys actually split the bill? Then why do I always end up paying when we go out? In that case, why don't you split the past expenses with me, so it's easier for us to hang out in the future?"
Li Nan Nan gave Jiang Lai a glare, and Li Yahan didn't fare much better, now that so many people were watching the joke. Jiang Lai didn't care about face, but their parents were prominent figures who couldn't afford such a loss of face.
Eventually, Li Yahan and Wang Nan Nan split all the costs, and after the payment, the two left immediately. Before leaving, Wang Nan Nan didn't forget to throw in a jab.
"Jiang Lai, you're really not up to our standards. Our circle isn't one that a cheap girl like you can squeeze into!"
"Sure, just pay me back first."
Wang Nan Nan's expression changed, vehemently denying it.
"What money? Look at who you are, you think I owe you money?"
"For the past six months, I've saved all the bills; whose account was used to open accounts at the clubs, who was the payer, it's all clearly recorded. Since you can't remember, I'll help you recall and post it online for everyone to see. Oh, I'm not afraid of a falling out since I have no status or position, but if your parents find out, if your company's shareholders find out..."
"You, you better not spout nonsense!!"
Wang Nan Nan clenched her purse, nearly throwing it.
Jiang Lai remained indifferent and innocent-looking.
"Lady, if I've fed a dog bones for half a year, it would at least wag its tail at me. Or are you worse than a dog?"
"You bitch..."
Jiang Lai's face turned cold. As the bag swung towards her, she preemptively raised her hand and slapped Wang Nan Nan across the face without hesitation.
"Slap—!!"
The crisp sound left everyone shocked and wide-eyed.
Immediately, Jiang Lai snatched Wang Nan Nan's studded purse and tossed it towards Li Yahan, scaring her into screaming and dodging.
"Anyway, I'll leave it at that. I want to see your transfers within three days, or this cheap girl is capable of doing anything."
After saying that, Jiang Lai left the room full of people with swift steps.
When Shen An came to pick her up, he had already heard everything.
"Jiang Lai, what the hell are you doing?! How dare you hit Wang Nan Nan? Do you know about her father's relationship with our Shen Family?"
Jiang Lai kept a blank face, waiting for him to open the car door.
"Oh, so what? What's it got to do with me."
"You were the one who wanted to get along with them, which is why I introduced you. What's your deal now? You don't want to enter the socialite circle anymore? Don't want to marry my brother anymore?"
Upon hearing the last sentence, Jiang Lai looked up at him. Though she wore a smile, there was a hint of danger in her eyes.
"Do you really want to help me marry your brother?"
Shen An felt slightly uneasy being stared at by her, but he still nodded firmly.
"Otherwise what the hell am I doing here, arguing with you."
"Oh, then what do you want me to do?"
"Go apologize to them with sincerity. Next week is Wang Nan Nan's birthday, didn't she say she wanted a bag? You could buy it and give it to her."
Upon hearing this, a smile graced Jiang Lai's lips.
"But what if I don't have any money?"
"Don't you have my brother's supplemental card? Just spend it; you haven't exactly been frugal with it before."
"Hmm, well, that's true. I am Shen Liao's girlfriend after all, spending his money doesn't weigh on me. But it's sad for you, already twenty-three years old and still needing to ask your brother for money to open a store. Ah, what a useless, pitiful thing."
Each word of hers stabbed like a knife into Shen An's heart, inflaming his fury from within, his eyes reddening, fists uncontrollably wanting to reach towards Jiang Lai.
Reason forced him to maintain his last bit of decorum.
"Jiang Lai, are you shameless? Coming from a small place to be a gold digger, depending on your looks to get money from men, don't think just because you have a supplemental card you can spend recklessly. I'm telling you, every expense notification goes to my brother, and if it weren't for your appearance... if it weren't for your looks, my brother would have kicked you to the curb long ago!"
Upon hearing this, instead of erupting, Jiang Lai quietly looked at him, but the pretty smile on her lips was gone.
"Oh, so you know, if I spend your brother's money, he'd look down on me."
The little bastard, pure mischief!
