As usual, the salesperson was about to hand over the credit card machine.
"Then pay quickly."
The salesperson, who had extended his hand halfway, awkwardly drew it back.
Xu Ying was dumbfounded again, "Sis, I used up my pocket money for this month. Can you cover for me first?"
"Xiao Ying, I have even less pocket money than you."
Xu Ying gritted her teeth. She could clearly feel the strange looks being cast her way, feeling both ashamed and angry, but didn't dare snap at her.
Stepping forward with small steps, she affectionately put her arm around hers, "Sis, didn't Grandpa give you a card? You can use that card."
Knowing her granddaughter only had a little pocket money, Grandpa specially prepared a supplementary card for her.
Ren Ran rarely used that card. She didn't have much desire for these luxuries. Low consumption desire, that's probably the kind of person she was.
Once when shopping with Xu Ying, she didn't have enough money.
Ren Ran used the supplementary card to pay for her. Ever since then, Xu Ying would ask to go shopping with her every so often, and every time she didn't have enough money, she'd ask to borrow from her. Over time, her using that card became a matter of course.
In her previous life, she didn't mind, because they were family, good sisters. She had always been generous to family.
But this life, don't even think about using another cent of her money.
For all those times before when she paid by card, she would have to go over it and have her pay it all back.
"I don't need that card anymore. I already returned it to Grandpa."
"You returned it!!!" Xu Ying's voice involuntarily became shrill.
Anyone who didn't know better would have thought Ren Ran took away her card, judging by her expression and tone.
She realized she had lost composure and quickly remedied, "I'm just too surprised."
Ren Ran impatiently urged, "Hurry up and pay, pay up and let's go to the next store."
"I, I..."
"You didn't even bring money when going out? No money but buying so much?" Ren Ran asked incredulously.
This spoke the minds of the salespeople, and also asked a question that made Xu Ying flush red with embarrassment, unable to get off the stage.
At this moment, Xu Ying even felt like killing Ren Ran.
The salesperson quietly asked, "Miss Xu, do you still want these?"
This question was like a loud slap, hitting her face painfully and shamefully.
"I do."
She picked up her phone and went to the corner, "Mom, Ren Ran bought handbags worth 1.2 million, but didn't have enough money, so she asked to borrow from me. What do you think..."
Ren Shuyun cursed and painfully said, "I transferred the money to you."
For the sake of 50 million, she could only painfully pay this 100,000 first.
One shouldn't hurt the child to catch the wolf.
As soon as she hung up, the bank transfer notification came in together.
Xu Ying arrogantly came back, holding her head high, and arrogantly handed the card to the salesperson, "Just charge the card."
The salesperson's face was full of smiles as she took the card.
Watching her manner, Ren Ran guessed that she must have swindled the money from Auntie. From her understanding of Ren Shuyun, she wouldn't be willing to spend money on her daughter this way.
"Xiao Ying, you had money in your card, yet claimed to be broke. Later at Louis Vuitton, you pay. "
Hearing this, Xu Ying's face paled, and the arrogance on her face completely disappeared.
She didn't actually have money. She had just spent all the money she had tricked.
Xu Ying didn't dare refuse and gritted her teeth in agreement, "Sure."
Under the salesperson's gaze, the two left LV. Seeing her walking towards Louis Vuitton, Xu Ying's eyes kept darting around, and finally thought of a reasonable excuse.
"Sis, where's that fortune telling you mentioned earlier?"
Look, the fish took the bait herself!
Ren Ran pretended to think, "I think it was near the Olympic Sports Center."
"Let's go there then."
"No hurry. Let's go shopping first, then go over."
Xu Ying was anxious, but couldn't show it. "Sis, these kinds of fortune telling stalls are highly mobile. I'm afraid if we go late, they'll be gone. You were so interested, yet gave it up for me, how could I continue dragging you shopping? It just so happens I also want to see how accurate that fortune teller is."
Under her pestering, Ren Ran reluctantly agreed.
"Fine then."
Outside the perimeter of the shopping mall was a small square. Ren Ran took Xu Ying around for a circle before finally finding the fortune telling stall.
Qing Xuan was wearing a Taoist robe, wearing hip-hop sunglasses, with a fake mustache pasted around his lips, and his hair was bleached white.
At first glance of the man's getup, Xu Ying's first reaction was he's a scammer.
Seeing the two coming, Qing Xuan put on an unfathomable air, stroking his mustache, "After a reading by this Taoist, I divine that you two ladies have come for a fortune reading."
"The Taoist is truly clever and insightful." Ren Ran smiled and responded.
Xu Ying was speechless.
If not to have your fortune read, what else would we come to see you for.
This scammer, yet this fool Ren Ran actually believed him. So much for her being a top student. Pah, all that learning gone to the dog's stomach.
Ren Ran turned her head, "Xiao Ying, this Taoist master is truly gifted. You're the younger sister, so you go first."
Xu Ying was about to decline, but remembered it was her who dragged her here, so she nodded.
"Young lady, are you having your love life or academics read, or perhaps your whole life?"
"My whole life then."
"Young lady, please provide your birth date and time." Qing Xuan stroked his mustache sagely.
Xu Ying reported her birth date and time.
Qing Xuan raised his hand and began making calculations. After some time, he said, "Young lady, your birth chart is extremely good, destined for wealth and honor..."
Xu Ying's expression went from initially apathetic to slowly showing a smile. She felt cocky inside.
Everyone loves to hear good things, even if they know it's fake.
An hour later, Ren Ran parted ways with Xu Ying.
Once she left, Qing Xuan walked to Ren Ran's side.
"It's not her."
Before coming, Ren Ran already had this feeling faintly.
"Although her destiny is not as good as yours, it's still decent. The destiny that switched with yours must have been extremely poor. So that person is not her."
If not her, who could it be?
A face involuntarily surfaced in Ren Ran's mind.
That face she would never be able to forget this lifetime.
"I'm going to the group. You go back first."
She had to verify.
Yaxing Group
Ren Ran often came to play when young. As she grew up, her visits decreased, but it didn't stop the employees there from recognizing her.
All the way unobstructed, she entered the general manager's office. Today was weekend, so Kong Liji was at home accompanying Ren Suya. The office was empty.
She took out the prepared key from her pocket and began rummaging after entering the office. Small items like Buddha figurines definitely wouldn't be put on the shelves, they could only be in some drawer.
Sure enough, she easily found it.
In the bottom left drawer, she found the Buddha figurine. Closely examining it for a moment, she pinched it. The Buddha figurine had a solid core, exactly the same as Uncle's family's.
This meant only theirs had problems.
She put the item back and left the office, walking to the company entrance. She took out her phone and called Ren Suya. The other end quickly picked up.
"Ranran."
"Mom, where's Dad now?"
