Chapter 501 - 500: Get Over Here and Serve Your Sister-in-law (Second Update)
"But..." Le Tong understood the reasoning, but when she thought about the money, she couldn’t help hesitating.Ji Rui was a bit unhappy with Le Tong’s attitude of distinguishing everything so clearly. Yet, he understood that what seemed like a small amount of money to him was not just money to her—it was her dignity. Since he loved her, he should learn to respect her properly.
"No more ’buts.’ Use the money from Baobao’s card, and you can pay Baobao back slowly. How about that?"
If it were most other women, they would probably love to drag him to the jewelry store every day to max out his card. But this silly woman of his, she slapped away the meat delivered to her mouth.
Le Tong was still hesitating, but Baobao was jumping up and down clapping in support, "Mommy, just use it! Then you can spend more time with Baobao!"
Le Tong smiled helplessly and pinched the little guy’s cheek. "Alright, dear creditor, feel free to command me however you like in the future."
Ji Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief because Yuan’er was Le Tong’s best friend, and she had helped Le Tong a lot in the past. He intended to send a generous gift but hadn’t considered Le Tong’s views.
On one side, Ji Rui was secretly praising his own cleverness, while on the other, the young one was eagerly pulling Le Tong into the jewelry store.
"Wow, so pretty!" Baobao exclaimed in awe at the dazzling view the moment he stepped in.
"Mommy, look! You would look great wearing this!"
The store staff noticed a little child tugging in a plainly dressed woman. Seeing the little one’s wide-eyed wonder, they assumed the two were just everyday folks wandering in from the street, and stood by coldly watching the little one point at the jewellery.
Ji Rui paused for a few seconds outside the store, then stepped in. Seeing his precious son dragging his silly woman around, he couldn’t help but smile, agreeing with his son’s taste.
Indeed, if these cold and elegant jewels were worn by his silly woman, they’d definitely look beautiful.
Ji Rui was originally in a great mood until he noticed the salesgirls seemingly looking at his precious son and his silly woman like they were aliens, which instantly ignited a fire inside him.
"Sir, may I help you with anything?" Two sales assistants immediately approached with charming smiles.
Most of Ji Rui’s wardrobe was handpicked by Le Tong. He was wearing khaki casual pants and a light gray V-neck sweater, with a down jacket that was clearly child-sized draped over his arm.
Though his outfit was quite ordinary, he possessed an inherent noble aura and a cold demeanor. The moment he stepped in, it was intimidating and powerful. The sales staff were used to dealing with wealthy customers, and they could tell that this man was definitely a big deal.
Ji Rui cast a cold glance at them but ignored them, walking straight over to his silly woman, wrapping an arm around her and affectionately kissing her face.
Then, in a voice as gentle as a drowning embrace, he asked, "Baby, is there anything you like? Try it all on, and if it looks good, we’ll take it!"
The sales assistants in the store all had awkward expressions on their faces.
Before Le Tong could respond, Ji Rui took out his phone and dialed a number. As soon as the call connected, before the other person could speak, Ji Rui icily said, "Zhuo Jiarui, get over here and serve your sister-in-law!"
This single sentence from Ji Rui scared the sales assistants pale.
They knew Zhuo Jiarui was their big boss, and for this man to talk so bluntly and order him to come over, it was clear that he was no ordinary man.
"Sir, we’re sorry! Miss, we’re sorry!" Two or three sales assistants hurried over to apologize.
Ji Rui didn’t even glance at them. After stating the location into the phone, he simply hung up.
The other two sales assistants quickly sensed a chance to make amends and went into the pantry to fetch some refreshments.
"Sir, this is a top-notch Jinjunmei from Young Master Zhuo. Sir and Madam, you must be tired from walking; please enjoy a cup of tea as you rest. Let us know which pieces you like, and we’ll bring them over for you to try on one by one."
Ji Rui looked down at Le Tong, "Baby, are you tired?"
Le Tong shivered, her arms breaking out in goosebumps.
"Not really tired..." In fact, she wasn’t much bothered by the staff’s attitude. After all, she’s lived a modest life for years; it’s normal to receive indifferent service when shopping.
But for President Ji, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it’s understandable he couldn’t stand such cold treatment.
So, she gave Ji Rui enough face, leaving room for both sides.
"Daddy, is this Uncle Zhuo’s store? If Baobao wants to buy a gift for Mommy, can we get a discount?"
The little guy understood!
He knew that the call Daddy made was to stand up for Mommy. So he immediately whispered to the store staff: Hmph, this is my Mommy. Your boss should call her sister-in-law! Offending her means offending your boss!
The sales assistants initially thought the woman and child might be just a mistress kept outside by a wealthy man, hence their simple attire.
But hearing the little one, they realized with a jolt that their monthly bonuses were probably flying out the window.
"Discount? Baobao, choose what you like, and Uncle Zhuo will gift it to you!"
Ji Rui said lightly. Of course, Zhuo Jiarui wouldn’t mind such a small amount of money!
Winning over this little ancestor isn’t easy. If spending a little can make him happy, Zhuo Jiarui would be more than willing.
One of the salespeople, dressed differently and presumably the store manager, nervously tried to appease Ji Rui and Le Tong, "Sir, Madam, please enjoy a cup of tea first?"
Ji Rui still ignored her, but Le Tong didn’t want to make things too difficult for the staff. She tugged on Ji Rui’s arm and softly said, "Let’s sit for a while. I am actually a bit tired."
Although Ji Rui was still somewhat upset, how could he resist Le Tong’s gentle demeanor?
He felt all his bones melt halfway, pulled Le Tong closer, and led Baobao to the table to sit down.
As the three of them sat sipping tea, a few sales assistants eagerly brought over various pieces of jewelry to recommend. Ji Rui didn’t even glance at them. "Wait until your boss comes."
The sales assistants fearfully stood aside, not daring to speak. About ten minutes passed, and finally, they successfully awaited their boss’s grand entrance.
Zhuo Jiarui, panting, rushed over, complaining breathlessly in front of Ji Rui and the three, "President Ji, was it necessary? You’ve got me running like a dog!"
