Chapter 348 - 174: The Door You Can’t Enter, I’ll Take You In
You couldn’t just bring him in out of kindness, and then also help him buy chocolate to give to the girl he liked, could you?
As everyone stared in astonishment, Xino and Xu Yun walked out after paying, followed by the store manager and a staff member carrying over a dozen small Louis Vuitton paper bags for them.
’This doesn’t look like shopping. It’s more like they’re trying to buy out the entire store.’
At the same time, everyone was also a little confused.
’Wasn’t there a purchase limit?’
’Why can they buy so much chocolate?’
As Xu Yun and Xino walked out of the store, they deliberately paused as they passed the scalper who had sold them their spot in line.
Xino turned to him and exclaimed in mock surprise, "Oh, sir, you’re still waiting in line? We already went in and finished buying everything."
The scalper was speechless.
Xu Yun was also at a loss for words.
’This woman is truly petty. Look how she’s provoking the guy. So awkward.’
After the manager and staff member helped load everything into the trunk of Xu Yun’s car, they wished them a safe trip and returned to the store.
「In the car.」
Xino opened a box of chocolates, took a bite of one, then broke off a piece and fed it to Xu Yun.
"Well? Is it good?"
"It’s just okay. No different from the cheap Dove chocolate I’ve had."
"I think so too."
Xino said, confused, "I don’t get why people would queue up to fight for this. I wouldn’t even necessarily eat it if it were given to me for free."
"That’s because you’ve been rich your whole life and don’t understand how ordinary people think."
Xu Yun answered with a smile, "People don’t buy it to eat. They buy it to post on their Moments and show off a little.
"It’s Louis Vuitton—a luxury brand. The bags are too expensive to afford, so they come and buy the chocolate to live the dream.
"After all, what truly rich person would queue up to buy this to eat?!
"Except for you!
"So the people who’ll run over to buy this are generally women who consider themselves a bit chic, or guys like that one buying it for a girl."
"Oh, so that’s how it is."
Xino nodded and said, "In that case, I’m going to post on my Moments and show off too. Otherwise, coming here today would have been for nothing."
And she did just that.
She immediately took a close-up shot of her chocolates, wrote a caption, and posted it with supreme confidence.
Seeing this, Xu Yun asked curiously, "What did you write?"
"Today, I finally paid in full and secured every single chocolate item from the House of Louis Vuitton!"
Xu Yun: "..."
Xino asked with a laugh, "How many likes do you think my post will get?"
"I don’t know how many likes you’ll get,"
Xu Yun replied, "but I do know that all your friends are going to think you’ve lost your mind."
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before her phone started showing that many people had not only liked the post, but commented as well.
Xino opened the app and started laughing as she read the comments.
She even started reading the hilarious comments aloud to Xu Yun.
"Congrats, Nuomi, on your big Louis Vuitton purchase!"
"You’re not sending out red packets to celebrate this?"
"So jealous! Can you send me a box? I’ve never tried it."
"What a high-roller! Actually daring to buy out Louis Vuitton!"
"What the heck, how could you do something so awesome and not invite me? I’ve got money too!"
Listening to these unhinged comments, Xu Yun couldn’t help but laugh as well.
Something that others would use to show off and flex on their Moments had become nothing more than a joke for Xino and her friends to tease each other with.
Truly wealthy people never show off their purchases on social media, because for them, it’s just daily life; there’s no sense of superiority in it.
In fact, it’s the ones who can’t afford this lifestyle who are most desperate to constantly show off on social media, flaunting what they don’t truly possess.
After reading for a little while, Xino started to get bored.
She turned to Xu Yun and said, "Let’s go. Take me somewhere. I’m going to give all my chocolates away."
"Where to?"
"You’ll know when we get there."
Xino smiled mysteriously. "All I’ll say is, they’re a group of lovely angels."

By the way, could I trouble you for a monthly pass?
