Chapter 774: The Shepherd's First Love (21)

e threw himself in front of her, taking almost all the impact.This is a downhill slope on the highway, it's pitch black and you can't see your hand in front of your face. She couldn't make out Jun Zhi...Having finally made it to the most bustling shopping mall in the city center, Qiao Bao'er and her fellow broke students were dazzled by the dazzling array of high-end goods. They all had an overwhelming urge to splurge, but sadly, their wallets wouldn't allow it.

Even Fang Mei, who was always strict with herself, couldn't help but be mesmerized by the dazzling jewelry displayed in the window. However, as soon as she glanced at the price tag, her mind would immediately sober up.

Even if you can't afford it, you can still watch plenty.

"It's 11:30 now, we can still shop for an hour, and then we'll have dinner. We'll start heading back to school before 2:30. You, Qiao Baoer, must arrive at the Student Union by 3 o'clock."

A few poor students made a detailed and meticulous time schedule. Song Mengmeng loudly proclaimed, "We might as well not go to that Cantonese restaurant. Waiting for the food takes too much time. Let's just buy some octopus balls in the square and eat them while we walk around. That would be so cool!"

"No, that's too embarrassing."

In a high-end shop like this, you wouldn't be asked to leave even if you ate while browsing the cabinets.

Despite being frugal and a little bit poor, Qiao Baoer suddenly smiled. She felt that life was fulfilling this way. She enjoyed going shopping with Xiao Zhu and the others, carefully comparing prices in shop windows and exclaiming about how expensive things were. She didn't mind the scornful glances from others.

"I want to take a look at this necklace." Fang Mei had rarely found something she liked so much. It was a platinum necklace with an angel wing pendant.

The waitress immediately took the necklace from behind the counter. Just as she was about to explain its merits, a sharp female voice interrupted her, “I’ll take this necklace. Wrap it up for me.”

Fang Mei looked up, and saw a stylishly dressed mature woman. She looked familiar…

Song Mengmeng was the first to recognize him, pointing at him and exclaiming, “You… you’re the female lead from that 8:30 drama!”

The newly popular actress was recognized, a smile played on her lips, but she didn't greet Song Mengmeng. Chatting with a poor student in public would damage her status.

The manager of this flagship store also walked over, immediately recognizing the star and breaking into a smile. "Miss Xiao, your visit to our store truly honors us."

"I'm your fan, what do you have your eye on Our shop would be honored to give you a little gift. Would you mind taking a picture with me later so we can hang it up in our shop"

Without needing a reply, the clerk, quite wittily, presented the platinum necklace with the angel wing pendant already packaged, in both hands.

The female star, wearing sunglasses, lifted the corner of her lips to indicate that she was in a very good mood and was about to reach out to take it.

"This was our first choice."

Jo Bao'er suddenly spoke, her eyes sharp and quick. The red velvet box containing the packaged necklace was already tightly held in her grasp.

The female star before them was clearly taken aback. Even the shop assistant didn't expect someone to suddenly appear and snatch the item so quickly.

The store manager's face was a little grim, but he tried to keep his tone calm. "Miss, this necklace was given by our shop to Miss Xiao. Please hand it over..."

All they saw were seasoned office workers. The student group led by Fang Mei immediately felt the pressure and quickly tugged at Qiao Baobao's sleeve, "Give it back to them. Let's go see something else..."

"But Qiao Bao'er didn't look at those people. Instead, she asked back, “Don’t you like it”

Fang Mei was momentarily stunned by her question.

I really like this necklace. Fang Mei usually spends most of her money on books, and she has always been at the top of her class. This year's college entrance exam was very relaxed for her because she had already been directly admitted to a key university in China. It’s rare to find jewelry she likes, so she thought of buying it as a reward for herself after three years of hard work in high school.

But now that others have taken an interest, she doesn't dare to take it anymore.

They are just ordinary people, how could they possibly afford to mess with a celebrity like her.

" Qiao Bao'er returned the things." Fang Mei urged her in a low voice, somewhat anxiously.

Zhu Xiao Wei also always advocated for peaceful coexistence, her voice gentle as she reminded, "There are still many shops ahead, there might be even better ones."

Qiao Bao'er heard them say this, she was going to return the things, but that self-proclaimed top female celebrity tossed over a sentence, "You can't afford it, don't dirty my box."

Jo Bao'er immediately flared up, "Who said we can't afford it!"

When a beautiful woman sees another beautiful woman, she often feels a little more animosity. This new female star looked at Qiao Baier's face and her tone became even more harsh.

"Students like you, how could you possibly have any money Don't waste your parents' hard-earned money. This place shouldn't have let you in in the first place. Believe me, I'll get the security guards from the square to kick you out."

Song Mengmeng also got angry, slapping her father's ten thousand yuan card on the counter and shouting, "What's wrong with being poor students We can still afford a cheap little necklace. Swipe, swipe."

On Qiao Baoer's side, the people wanted to buy it, but the counter staff wouldn't sell it to them. Weighing the pros and cons, of course, they would protect the glamorous and fashionable female star in front of them.

"Miss, you stole something from our store. I have the right to call the police."

The cashier manager glared at Qiao Ba'er with a threatening tone, "Please return the items to us immediately."

"You guys are smearing people!"

A few immature students, how could they possibly compare to these polished people who have been navigating the workplace

"Who stole something We're going to buy it, we have money." Song Mengmeng panicked immediately.

That actress with a straight posture didn't need to say a word, and the people in the shop immediately started chattering, even mocking them, "You're rich, how much is that" They were clearly taunting them.

"The necklace is from our store, and we have the right not to sell it. If you dare to cause any more trouble, we will immediately call security, and even send you to the police station. We hope you'll be considerate."

The counter manager spoke with a worldly, mature tone, a smile playing on his lips. However, the corners of his mouth that lifted were tinged with disdain.

Jo Bao'er opened the jewelry box in front of them, took out the platinum necklace, and with a hard twist of her hands, the delicate platinum necklace immediately broke into two.

Everyone present was stunned.

No one expected the female student to directly snap the necklace in front of everyone.

"Sorry about that," Qiao Ba'er said, shaking the broken chain, which was now in two pieces.

"You, you, you pay for this!"

The manager behind the counter was so angry his face was red, he pointed at her and shouted.

"Okay," Qiao Bao'er said calmly, agreeing readily.

It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the people in the shop were even angrier, ready to curse. This girl was truly ruthless.

qiao ba'er had always been the kind of person who would rather be broken into pieces than remain incomplete.

"Not selling, is it Let's wreck it."

The celebrity with sunglasses on had a very bad expression, but in public she couldn't lose her composure. She endured it, her long, manicured nails twitching as if they wanted to scratch Hua Qiao Baoer's face.

The atmosphere was thick with tension. Passersby couldn't help but glance in this direction, and Fang Mei and Zhu Xiaowei, two students who had never seen anything like it, were on edge.

"Mo Mo's card was swiped, her stomach started rumbling. We still have to eat!" Qiao Baoer spoke up first. Song Mo Mo immediately responded, clamoring to pay the bill.

Qiao Bao'er gave the female star a withering glare, as if to say, "I'm just a poor student, what are you going to do about it"then thought for a moment and added, "By the way, pregnant women shouldn't eat crabs.""I know I can't eat crabs, they are cold." Zhu Xiaowei seemed to know more than her.Qiao Bao'er gave an awkward sm...
