Chapter 1814 Aren't you best friends?
She didn't feel at all that he was being extravagant; on the contrary, she felt that his generosity and thoughtfulness were all for her sake.
She couldn't help but lean closer to Jiang Cheng, tiptoeing to whisper in his ear, "If you do this, those two will be so envious of me."
Jiang Cheng looked down at her, a smile in his eyes, and reached out to pinch her cheek: "Aren't you best friends?"
For some reason, Jiang Churan felt a little strange when she heard the words "best friend".
But Jiang Cheng didn't seem to have any other intentions.
Jiang Cheng also picked out some men's sneakers, as well as simple T-shirts and pants.
To reiterate, he doesn't lack the money.
But Jiang Cheng is also a human being.
Who wouldn't want to take advantage of a freebie?
The main thing is that getting freebies is really fun.
After the three girls finished choosing, the clerk came over with the bill and announced the amount with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang, the total is three million six hundred and sixty-eight thousand yuan."
Upon seeing the amount, Jiang Cheng readily pulled out his bank card.
After successfully swiping his card, Jiang Cheng quickly heard a system notification.
"Ding--"
[Shopping cashback card successfully used.]
[Total spending is 3,168,000 yuan, with a cashback multiplier of six. Congratulations, host, you have received 18,994,000 yuan!]
As the crisp system notification sound faded, Jiang Cheng couldn't suppress the smile on his face. This huge profit was even more satisfying than staring at the stock market all day.
As soon as the sound of the card being swiped faded, Shen Shuang and Jiang Churan huddled together, their eyes shining as if adorned with stars.
"My God," Shen Shuang pinched her arm, her voice full of amazement, "This is the first time I've ever thought a man could look so handsome swiping a credit card!"
Xu Yan, standing to the side, blushed slightly and secretly glanced at Jiang Cheng beside her.
"Sister Shuang, you've changed. Didn't you used to say that taking out your bank card was pretentious?"
Seeing Xu Yan expose her weakness, Shen Shuang glanced at Jiang Cheng and then explained, "No, boss, the kind of showing off I'm talking about is deliberately taking out your bank card, then stingily buying a couple of items as a token gesture, and then immediately inviting you to a hotel. That has absolutely nothing to do with being a boss..."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng deliberately retorted, "There really are people like that."
Of course there are. Wasn't that the kind of tactic Wang Zheng, Chen Hao, and Qi Yuan used when they were forced to set up a water stall at the university gate?
However, as a brother, Jiang Cheng would certainly not tarnish their image in front of these three women.
So we can only pretend we don't know.
Hearing Jiang Cheng say that, Xu Yan immediately nodded: "There are plenty of options. It just means you're not a girl from the dance academy. If you were, you could stand outside the academy for a while and you'd see tons of girls showing off their cars, watches, and black cards. If you talk to them, they'll just invite you to a bar..."
Jiang Cheng glanced at Xu Yan with feigned sympathy: "What kind of monsters and demons have you encountered..."
Shen Shuang chimed in, "So, we really do envy Chu Ran, okay..."
"Exactly, I hope I can meet a boyfriend like that someday..."
As she spoke, Xu Yan even deliberately stared straight at Jiang Cheng.
Fortunately, Shen Shuang turned around at that moment and grabbed Jiang Churan's arm.
This angle perfectly blocked Xu Yan's view.
Shen Shuang said in an affectionate and exaggerated tone, "Ranranran, thank you so much! You are such a beautiful and generous little darling!"
After saying that, she turned to Jiang Cheng, clasped her hands together and waved them, then added with a grin, "Thank you so much for being so generous, sir! I'll definitely have to post this on my WeChat Moments to show it off!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shuang took out her phone and started snapping photos of the entire display case full of her spoils.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng didn't avoid her gaze, but instead stared straight at her, Xu Yan instantly gave in.
She immediately picked up her phone and snapped a couple of photos, just like Shen Shuang.
After the photo was taken, he muttered to himself guiltily.
“I also wanted to post it, but I thought I’d better not. You know my weird relatives, they can’t stand seeing others do well. If I post it, they might come after me again, and that would be terrible.”
"What's there to be afraid of!" Shen Shuang didn't even look up, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she typed a caption for her WeChat Moments. "I'm going to post this to infuriate those jealous people!"
She had just pressed the send button a few seconds ago when her phone rang unexpectedly.
After glancing at the caller ID, she exclaimed, "Oh, my dad is calling."
After saying that, he gestured for the others to wait a moment, turned around and quickly walked out of the store before pressing the answer button.
On the other end of the phone, Shen's father's voice came straight to the point: "Did you buy another bag?"
Shen Shuang raised an eyebrow and readily admitted, "Yes, I bought several. I posted them on my WeChat Moments, didn't you see that?"
"Who bought it for you?" Shen Zhong's tone was somewhat scrutinizing.
"Hey, Lao Shen, you're pretty clever, aren't you? You knew I didn't buy it myself."
Shen Zhong chuckled: "Your little stash of money isn't enough to buy so many bags? Every time you buy a bag, it's always with my card. I didn't receive any transaction notifications today, so someone else must have bought them for you. Tell me, which brat bought them?"
Shen Shuang pursed her lips and said loudly into the phone, "What brat? It was my best friend's boyfriend who bought it for me."
Shen Zhong on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment.
Then came a sound of "Huh?"
After he finished speaking, his voice immediately became serious, and his tone was full of concern for his beloved daughter.
"Your best friend's boyfriend bought you a bag? Tell me, which guy is such a jerk? I'll break his legs."
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuang covered the phone, feeling somewhat guilty.
It's fortunate that Jiang Cheng wasn't by her side; if he had heard this, things would have been terrible.
"Dad, what are you saying... We were just shopping together, and he kindly bought me a few bags. Don't overthink it, okay? There's nothing wrong between us."
Seeing that Shen Shuang sounded somewhat guilty, Shen Zhong became even more serious: "Why would someone buy you so many expensive things for no reason? And you call yourself innocent? Don't be fooled..."
"It's really not what you think!" Shen Shuang hurriedly explained, "We were just shopping together, and he was generous, so he bought me a few things on the spur of the moment. Don't cause trouble..."
"Who exactly is your best friend's boyfriend? Which family does he belong to?"
"Dad, I mentioned him to you last time!" Shen Shuang reminded him, "It's that guy who's with Wang Congcong, the one named Jiang Cheng!"
At this point, Shen Shuang seemed to remember something.
He immediately changed the subject: "Oh, right, Dad! Jiang Cheng told me last time that it would be best if our family business stopped cooperating with Daheng!"
"What? Why?" Father Shen's voice suddenly rose. "Our family has achieved what we have today because of the backing of a tycoon. How else can we do business if we don't do business with a tycoon?"
"Let me finish. When I first heard that, I felt the same way as you, but I thought he had a lot of influence!" Shen Shuang hurriedly defended herself. "And I have a feeling that Xu Zhijiu is going to be in big trouble!"
Mr. Shen remained silent for a few seconds on the other end, clearly searching his memory for the name.
Finally, he said in a deep voice, "I had someone investigate, and this kid's background is as clean as a blank sheet of paper. We couldn't find anything. Shuangshuang, you are the only daughter of the Shen family. You are my precious darling. Don't get involved with someone with such an unclear background."
