Chapter 173: Wealthy
Seeing that Tong Lu had regained his arrogant smiling face, Xiao Boming also smiled.
The previous words were just a joke, and if she could be happy, even if she was bankrupt, he probably wouldn't even blink an eye.
Xiao Boming read a sentence from a book a long time ago, the person I like, even if I kick my head as a ball, I am happy.
At that time, he couldn't understand how there could be such a liking to give up himself in this world.
But now, he seems to understand the people in that book a little.
Seeing the way the person you like laughing, it turns out that you can really ignore everything.
"Uncle Xiao, let's go too!" Tong Shuangshuang, who was not yet Xiao Boming's legs, pulled the corners of his clothes and looked up at him.
Xiao Boming squatted down and hugged Tong Shuangshuang into his arms, "Okay, let's go find my mother." β
Walking in the direction of Tong Lu, what caught my eye was a private custom jewelry store.
When she was abroad, Tong Lu especially liked their designers, but when she returned to China, she had little time to wander outside.
Almost all the jewelry is provided by sponsors, and she has to wear it on her body without Tong Lu's consent or disagreement.
In this way, the niche brands she bought by herself have been pressed to the bottom of the box.
"Hello Miss, is there anything I can do to help you?" Tong Lu brought a mask and a pair of black sunglasses when she went out today, which was not as conspicuous as in the past, but no one knew her.
When I entered the store, I took off my sunglasses, and the lady at the counter didn't know if she recognized it, so she was obviously stunned, but then recovered.
It's as if she's just an ordinary guest.
Tong Lu walked around in front of the display case for a long time, but did not see a set of styles that made her very attractive, and finally asked, "Does Mr. Patrick have any new works recently?" β
Hearing Patrick's name, the eyes of the counter lady lit up obviously, and she looked at Tong Lu even more eagerly.
After all, people who know this name must be frequent customers of this store, and they also know the market, so it is naturally much easier to recommend.
"Mademoiselle, you have a good eye, Mr. Patrick's designs have always been different and meaningful." As he spoke, he led Tong Lu to the reception room on the second floor.
"It's a coincidence that you're here today, Mr. Patrick's new product just arrived yesterday, and we haven't had time to put it in the display case yet." After giving a few people a cup of tea, the counter lady had to stay on Xiao Boming's body for a while, "Please wait a moment, I will ask our manager to come out." β
When the words fell, he gently and skillfully owed to Tong Lu and turned to leave.
Seeing the person's background go out, Xiao Boming raised his eyebrows, picked up the cup and took a sip, "The coffee in this store is better than abroad." β
These words made Tong Lu hook her lips slightly, "Then you can drink more, and drink back all the money you want to spend here today." β
Xiao Boming took another big sip as if he was taking it seriously.
"Why do you want to buy jewelry again?" When she was abroad, Tong Lu was never a last resort, and never took Xiao Hong to visit a jewelry store.
Coming over as soon as he entered the door today, it really surprised Xiao Boming.
After combing the hair hanging down from the side of her ears, Tong Lu lay lazily on the sofa, crossing her legs without any image to speak of, "Now that there are more entertainments, there must be something to support the faΓ§ade." β
Just like Old Man Gu said, you can't let others look down on the Gu family.
After a few small talks, the manager walked in through the door.
He didn't pretend not to know, but generously called Tong Lu Miss Tong.
"Please forgive me for the disappointment." The manager reached out and shook hands with the two men.
Tong Lu didn't care too much about such a thing, and chuckled, "The manager is polite, I'm just here to see if there are any new products recently." β
"Do you have a crush?" The manager straightened up, seemingly proud of what he had in his store.
"The ones on the counter don't seem to suit me a bit, so I wanted to see Mr. Patrick's recent work." Tong Lu glanced out, trying to be as tactful as possible in her words.
But dealing with celebrities all year round, how can the manager not hear the unspoken meaning.
raised his eyebrows, and the manager also nodded, "Indeed, those outside are too vulgar to be worthy of Miss Tong, there were some new ones in the store yesterday, not just Mr. Patrick, are you interested?" β
"Let's take a look."
Tong Lu was not entangled, and said straightforwardly.
"Okay." As if he had already been prepared, as soon as the words fell, the people waiting outside walked in in line.
There was a table in the living room that served as a display shelf, and after all the ornaments were put in order, the clerk withdrew.
"This is Mr. Patrick's."
Tong Lu recognized her familiar style almost at a glance.
It has to be said that as a veteran figure in the jewelry design industry, Patrick's level and vision are amazing.
It's just that after watching it for a long time, it doesn't seem to have the original amazing feeling at first sight.
"Miss Tong has a good eye." The manager did not shy away from dying, and he did not have any flattering tone when he praised people, which made people feel very comfortable listening to it.
"Whose is this for?" From the moment these jewelry first entered the door, Tong Lu noticed the bright color in the last row.
It's so simple that you hardly notice it, but just one glance will catch your eye and make people reluctant to look away.
"This?" The manager seemed a little surprised that Tong Lu would see the most inconspicuous one among so many packups.
Tong Lu nodded, her gaze naturally fixed on the spot.
"This is a new designer today, not very mature yet, and at the moment this is the only work." The manager looked at the sign pressed under the necklace, and the introduction looked much more casual, but there was no disrespect in the slightest, "You can touch it and take a look." β
Putting on gloves, Tong Lu held the necklace in her hand, although it was simple, the weight was just right.
In fact, it can be seen that this design still has many flaws, but this does not hide its original brilliance at all.
With a strong personal touch of the designer, it seems to inject soul into the work.
Tong Lu absolutely believes that as long as he is given time, this designer will definitely be an existence that is not lost to Patrick.
"Pick this up for me." Tong Lu only glanced at it and knew that she wanted this, so without the slightest hesitation, she said directly.
The manager seemed a little puzzled by Tong Lu's decision, but he also knew that he couldn't question the decision made by the guest.
"Okay, please wait." The manager went out with his jewelry, and Tong Lu also took off his gloves.
After reading that, even the works that she liked very much couldn't make her stay at half a minute.
"Are you saving me money?" Xiao Boming doesn't understand such jewelry, in this regard, he is like a straight man, only looking at the price.
Tong Lu glanced at him thoughtfully, and suddenly made an expression of sudden realization, "Oh, I forgot, you paid today." β
As he spoke, he walked out the door again.
Xiao Boming was a little unsure, so he immediately led Tong Shuangshuang and followed.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I heard Tong Lu talking to the manager, "Instantly packed Mr. Patrick's jewelry for me." β
Probably the people who came to buy jewelry have never been as wealthy as Tong Lu, and they look like they came to wholesale.
"Do you mean necklaces, or earrings?" The manager was a little unsure.
Tong Lu narrowed her eyes and frowned slightly, as if this was a difficult question to answer.
After struggling for a long time, he cleared his throat and said slowly, "It's too difficult to choose, so let's pack them all." β
As he spoke, he smiled at Xiao Boming, and the cunning light flashed in his eyes, which made him feel cold behind him.
Touching the wallet in his pocket, Xiao Boming fell into a deep self-doubt, can he get his card back today......
While the manager was packing, the four of them were also idle, sitting on the sofa at the door of the store and chatting.
Not far away, a group of people walked in, and the people standing in the middle of Wuhan were somewhat familiar......
Old Man Gu hasn't socialized much recently, and all his old buddies have returned home, so he is naturally idle.
Every morning after exercise, I take it home to watch TV and listen to the news.
When I have nothing to do, I will call the juniors in the family out to give a lecture.
Gu Xia has always hated these preaching, so when the old man is at home, she will most likely call a few girlfriends to go out and fool around.
What's more, today is not only the old man at home, but Gu Changkong is also at home, in this case, it is naturally impossible for Gu Xia to stay and release the target.
I got up early in the morning, didn't eat breakfast at home, and ran out in a hurry.
Although Gu Xia has a lot of ghost ideas, he is not a bad person.
She knew what she could do. You can't do anything.
So although the rules set for her at home are not strict, she has never made a mistake in principle, such a big person, nightclubs are not often visited.
Her so-called fooling around is nothing more than pulling her girlfriends to go shopping and playing games together, and no matter how out of the ordinary, she will not be involved again.
I don't know what Miss Gu Er thinks today, she came out of the KTV at noon and came directly to the mall. I don't have to buy clothes.
The little sister's family is not as big as the Gu family, so naturally it is not easy to refute anything, so she came over hungry.
However, as soon as he entered the door, Gu Xia felt that something was wrong.
The few people sitting on the sofa on the right-hand side seemed familiar.
Squinting his eyes and looking at it carefully for a while, Gu Xia finally suddenly realized, and his face changed.
"Xia Xia, what's wrong with you?" The little sister followed Gu Xia's gaze and seemed to have found a clue.
Pulled Gu Xia's sleeve and said softly, "Is that Tong Lu, isn't she ...... with your brother?"
"Our Gu family will not admit this kind of woman!" Gu Xia seemed to have been hit by a burst point, and his voice burst out instantly, causing everyone to turn their heads frequently, wanting to find out.
No matter how much you are worth, you will always have an endless interest in gossip.
Tong Lu was naturally no exception, tilting her head to look over, and after seeing the protagonist, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, "It's miserable, trouble is coming." β
The sudden words made Xiao Boming a little confused, so he was stunned, "What's the trouble?" β
