Chapter 116: 116 World Trade

"I thought you wouldn’t come back at all today."

When Xu Siyi returned to the dorm, Zheng Jingjing greeted her.

"We’re going out shopping this afternoon, Siyi, are you coming?"

It was Saturday, a day off.

Xu Siyi glanced at Li Shuru and, as if last night’s little friction had never happened, nodded with a beaming smile, "Sure, we haven’t gone out together in a while. Wait for me, I’ll change my clothes."

After lunch, the girls left the school in Li Shuru’s Panamera.

"Shu Rui, aren’t you going to ask Jiang Chen along?"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xu Siyi asked with a natural smile, as if it was just an offhand question.

"Why should I invite him?"

Zheng Jingjing felt annoyed just hearing that name.

Xu Siyi glanced at her through the rearview mirror but said nothing.

"He could help carry the bags."

Guo Ran joked, attempting to lighten the mood.

"Pfft, there are plenty willing to carry our bags for us!"

Obviously.

Zheng Jingjing was still sore about seeing Jiang Chen and Luo Li’er having breakfast together the previous morning.

"But it’s not the same, the guys who want to help us carry, we haven’t even agreed yet, right Shu Rui?"

Xu Siyi continued smilingly.

Li Shuru neither agreed nor disagreed, and asked, "Where shall we go?"

"Let’s go to the World Trade Center,"

Zheng Jingjing immediately said, deciding not to dwell on Jiang Chen, that scumbag, since today they were out to have fun and there was no reason to spoil the mood.

"Let’s change the place, everything in World Trade Center is too expensive,"

Guo Ran hesitated.

As everyone knew, the World Trade Center housed various international luxury brands, and the threshold for consumption was extremely high. It wasn’t just that they were university students, even ordinary office workers would think twice before shopping there.

"What’s there to fear, if it’s expensive we just won’t buy it. Isn’t it free to go and feast our eyes?"

Zheng Jingjing dismissed the concern, believing that the joy of shopping wasn’t limited to purchasing items; observing the luxurious lives of the upper class was also rewarding. It would not only broaden their horizons but also motivate them to strive for better, wouldn’t it?

"Let’s listen to Jing Jing and go to the World Trade Center, besides, there are many shopping streets next to the World Trade Center where we can buy things if we want,"

Xu Siyi said in support.

Hearing this, Guo Ran had nothing more to say.

In one of the country’s leading metropolises, the Panamera in East Sea wasn’t exceptionally remarkable. However, when four uniquely attractive girls got out of the car, passersby couldn’t help but be dazzled.

"Let’s go."

Zheng Jingjing hurried excitedly toward the World Trade Square.

The first floor of the World Trade Center was dedicated to cosmetics, with only top world brands like Lancome, Dior, Chanel, and Estee Lauder in sight. The high-end atmosphere of the mall was distinct, and the air seemed filled with the intoxicating scent of opulence. Stepping into this place felt like entering high society, a world apart from that of ordinary people.

Li Shuru’s last gift of SK2 was also available there.

For the girls, shopping on the first floor was manageable, as even the priciest cosmetics were only a few thousand yuan, within their budget. But going any higher, a simple outfit could easily start in the five digits, not to mention the jewelry.

It’s said, only said, that there are even items worth tens of millions here!

Any of these girls would be considered goddesses at East University, but here, their aura and glory are stripped away in an instant, making them no different from ordinary girls. Guo Ran even struggles to hide her unease.

This is the oppressive feeling that comes naturally with wealth and power.

Of the four girls, perhaps only Li Shuru is slightly better off, having earned a few million from live streaming. In a place like the World Trade Center, the confidence brought by looks vanishes instantly, and only the confidence given by money can be forever solid.

"If I could just shop here without a care one day, then I would have no regrets in this lifetime."

Zheng Jingjing murmurs, eyes filled with admiration and longing as she gazes at the shiny, glamorous window displays.

"To shop here on a whim, it’s not something you can achieve with just a few million in wealth. To make that step, Jingjing, you might only have one method: to snag a wealthy husband,"

Xu Siyi teased.

It wasn’t her first visit to the World Trade Center. She had been here before with some ex-boyfriends, though not often, countable on one hand.

Zheng Jingjing didn’t argue. Indeed, there are self-made powerful women in the world, but she knew her own capabilities very well. She lacked the ability to get rich and didn’t come from a prominent family; marriage, as Si Yi suggested, might be her only way to leap classes.

In fact, for many women, marriage had indeed become the only chance, or rather hope, to change their destiny.

"Why chase after such a luxurious life? I don’t think those clothes worth tens of thousands are any more attractive."

By contrast, Guo Ran was more pragmatic. She never fantasized about marrying into wealth; a life without worries over food and clothing was enough for her.

"I want to go upstairs and take a look, coming?"

Li Shuru suddenly said.

"Sure!"

Zheng Jingjing agreed without hesitation. She had wanted to go up for a while but lacked the courage to suggest it.

Indeed, one can look without buying, but it is still somewhat embarrassing.

With Li Shuru, the "wealthy lady," leading, the girls followed upstairs, toured the second floor featuring clothing, and then went up to the third floor.

The third floor was dedicated to watches, and the level of class significantly jumped yet another step. As is commonly known, the poor play with cars, the rich with watches—a small wristwatch can sometimes be even more expensive than a house.

Patek Philippe, Rolex, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin... names that had only appeared online were now truly within the girls’ sight.

As for the likes of Longines and Tissot, they simply didn’t qualify to be present here.

"Oh my God! Come and look, am I seeing things?!"

Guo Ran stopped in front of a showcase, her face a picture of shock.

Li Shuru and the two girls turned and walked over.

In the showcase, a white wristwatch lay quietly in its box, with a price tag beside it.

¥56,000,000

"Fifty-six million?!"

Zheng Jingjing counted the string of zeros back and forth several times, and after confirming she hadn’t miscounted, she felt dizzy and disoriented.

Xu Siyi, looking bewildered, murmured, "I’ve seen this watch in a news article, the Vacheron Constantin 57260, with 57 complications including a perpetual calendar, made up of 2800 parts. It’s said to be one of the most expensive watches in the world. I didn’t expect they’d sell it here."

"Who can afford fifty-six million?"

Guo Ran found it incredulous. The small watch had delivered a massive shock to her worldview.

Even in the pricey East Sea, that kind of money could probably buy a villa!

"Shu Rui, let’s not look anymore, let’s go,"

Even Zheng Jingjing dared not linger any longer, tugging at Li Shuru’s arm, wanting to leave as quickly as possible.
