651 Contempt
“This overcoat is priced at 1,388 yuan. Are you sure you want to try it?”
The shop assistant no longer had much patience for them, but the work ethics did not allow her to chase the customers away. She could only use this method to make them give up on buying it.
“1, 1388 yuan?” Luo Xiujuan gasped in shock. “That expensive?”
If this was in the past, this money would have been more than ten years of their income. Although their lives were better, their living style was still frugal.
Qin Xi did not mind the price. Instead, she looked at Han Shi and asked, “I think this overcoat suits Mom quite well. Stone, what do you think?”
“Yes, I agree. Mom, give it a try. If it suits you, we’ll buy it.” Han Shi urged.
When the shop assistant heard their conversation, she was so angry that she almost laughed. She had already put the price on the table. Did this family not have ears or brains?
She stopped pretending. She crossed her arms and looked at Qin Xi and the other two with a fake smile, her eyes filled with mockery. “Everyone, think carefully. This overcoat is priced at 1,388 yuan. If you don’t have that much money, it’s best not to try it on. Otherwise, if it’s damaged or dirty, you won’t be able to afford it.”
The smile on Qin Xi’s face widened, but there was no smile in her eyes. “Are the customers in your shop not allowed to try the clothes?”
The waitress put on a fake smile, but her words were harsh. “It depends. If you can really afford it, feel free to try it. If you can’t, I advise you not to touch it. If you damage it, you’ll be finished.”
Just as Qin Xi was about to say something, a woman’s surprised voice came from behind. “Sister, look, does that overcoat look good?”
A gentle voice replied to the woman, “Yes, it looks very good. It suits you.”
“I think so too.” The woman also felt that it suited her very well. She quickly instructed the shop assistant, “Take out the blue overcoat in the window. I want to try it.”
“Alright, please wait a moment. I’ll take it out for you right away.”
The shop assistant, who had just been mocking Qin Xi and her family for not being able to afford it, immediately changed her expression. She opened the glass window of the cabinet with a smile and carefully took out the overcoat.
Han Dazhu and Luo Xiujuan were at a loss as to what to do. Embarrassment flashed across their faces. The feeling of being looked down on was like a knife cutting into their faces.
Qin Xi gently squeezed Luo Xiujuan’s hand and comforted her. “Mom, it’s fine. I’ll handle this.”
Luo Xiujuan pulled Qin Xi and whispered, “Xi, let’s go. I don’t like this overcoat anyway.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the shop assistant snorted and said disdainfully, “You don’t like it? I think you are just too poor to afford it. Why are you finding an excuse? It’s really disgusting. Alright, get out. Don’t waste the time of the other customers.”
At this moment, two well-dressed women walked over arm in arm. The two of them were in their thirties and looked quite similar. One could tell at a glance that they were biological sisters.
The woman with short chestnut hair looked at the overcoat in the shop assistant’s hand in surprise. She gave the bag in her hand to the other woman with long hair and said, “Sister, hold the bag for me. I’ll try this overcoat.”
“Wait, we were the ones who wanted to buy this overcoat first. You can’t try it yet.”
