244 Shopping
As expected, Huang Jue heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Gu Man was buying things herself. He looked up excitedly. “Then I’ll help Sister carry her things. Don’t worry, my body is very strong now.”
At the thought that he could take a good look at the big city, Huang Jue was excited. He even washed the bowls and chopsticks solicitously and ran back to his room to tidy up. He stood in front of Gu Man and looked at her nervously. “Sister, there’s nothing wrong with my outfit, right? Will I be looked down on?”
Although Huang Jue was precocious, he was still a child. He was sensitive and cared about what others thought.
Gu Man sized him up seriously and denied. “How can you be looked down on? Let’s go.”
He followed behind Gu Man excitedly. After getting into the car, he looked curiously at the scene outside the car window.
This big city was completely different from the countryside he lived in. There were buildings that towered in the clouds, and there were endless cars. There were all kinds of styles, completely different from the small trishaws and motorcycles in the countryside.
Along the way, Huang Jue was very excited, but he still suppressed his emotions and sat obediently in the car, trying not to cause Gu Man any trouble.
His sensible appearance was really heartbreaking. Gu Man’s heart ached and she immediately decided to bring him to the mall to buy a set of clothes.
She was only thinking about the phone and did not consider what he was wearing.
Although Huang Jue’s clothes were very clean, they were washed until they were pale. It was difficult to hide the traces of poverty.
After she went to Han City First High School, there were too many sn.o.bbish people there. Gu Man did not want Huang Jue’s pride to be trampled on.
After entering the mall, Huang Jue’s self-a.s.sured determination instantly shattered when he saw the dazzling array of goods.
His eyes were abnormally bright and filled with curiosity about everything, but what followed was the fear brought about by the unfamiliar environment. He stuck close to Gu Man and sized things up tentatively.
Gu Man went straight to her destination and brought him to the men’s clothing area on the third floor.
There were not many boys who came to shop, and most of them were young couples. It was rare for someone like Gu Man who brought her cousin along.
After entering a well-decorated shop, Gu Man looked at the casual style inside. It was suitable for Huang Jue, who was about to enter high school.
She placed her hand on her clothes and did not feel embarra.s.sed about being neglected by the shop a.s.sistant. Instead, she looked around casually.
Huang Jue looked at the casual clothes that were almost everywhere. It was obvious that she was choosing it for him. He grabbed his sleeve nervously and wanted to pull Gu Man away.
“Sister, I can wear this s.h.i.+rt for a few more years. You don’t have to buy me new clothes.”
He spoke softly, his wet eyes made Gu Man’s heart soften. She rubbed Huang Jue’s head.
“You’re entering high school soon. It’s time to get some new clothes.”
“Did I hear wrongly? There’s actually someone who wears the same clothes for a few years. Little Lin, doesn’t it sound funny?”
A woman who looked old but was exquisitely dressed leaned against the counter and looked in their direction. She covered her mouth and chuckled.
Although she covered her mouth, she could not hide the mocking smile on her face. Huang Jue lowered his head and grabbed Gu Man’s clothes tightly at a loss.
“Sister w.a.n.g, isn’t it bad to be like this?”
The girl beside her was clearly much younger. Her face was hot as she looked at Gu Man nervously.
“What’s there to not say? This is not an ordinary small shop. I don’t know how much of your salary you need to spend to buy a single piece of clothing. You’re someone who wears clothes from street stalls for a few years. You might as well go out and turn left. There are more street stalls there.”
Gu Man’s expression gradually turned cold as Sister w.a.n.g spoke. She sneered. “Is this your att.i.tude when treating customers? No wonder not many people came.”
“You have a sharp tongue. Even if 100 customers like you come, I don’t care. Anyway, you can’t afford it. We all have a fixed customer base. You don’t have to worry.”
Sister w.a.n.g rolled her eyes. She sized up Gu Man’s clothes and snorted.
