After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 135 Couple Belts

As soon as the women entered the store, they took off their long sun-protective coats, revealing their sexy clothes and beautiful figures.

Jiang Shu glanced curiously and saw Guan Muying, a rising star in the entertainment industry who frequently appears in melodramatic storylines, and her several followers.

The store manager personally came out to greet them: "Ms. Guan, Ms. Zhou, Ms. Ning, welcome, welcome! Ms. Guan, it's been a long time since you've been here. Would you like to have some tea in the VIP area first, or should I show you the latest products?"

"Just bring out the most expensive and best items in the store." Guan Muying glanced at her watch and frowned. "We have three more announcements this afternoon, and we're really pressed for time."

The store manager nodded enthusiastically: "We've received quite a few new styles. May I ask what you're looking for, Miss Guan?"

Guan Muying looked slightly troubled: "I want to buy a gift for my dad, but his status is special, so an ordinary gift wouldn't be appropriate. I heard that your store has a new pair of cufflinks, designed by the internationally renowned master David, and there are only ten pairs available worldwide?"

"Yes, because it uses very rare, top-grade yellow diamonds, it cannot be mass-produced. Currently, our chain brand only has two pairs." The store manager paused for a moment, "and the price is two million."

"Bring both pairs out so I can take a look."

"Well, one of the pairs is in another store. If Miss Guan only needs one pair, why not take a look at our store and see if it suits you?"

"Since you said you wanted to see two couples, go and bring the other one over." Little Follower Number 1 was also a third-tier celebrity, usually arrogant and domineering. "Mu Ying's father is the head of the Guan family, a super-powerful family in the capital. Today she just felt like going out for a stroll. Normally, if she wanted to see something, all the shop managers in the capital would personally come to her door with their products and beg her to choose!"

Jiang Shu stopped choosing clothes.

Then, without making a sound, he glanced at Guan Muying.

"It's not that exaggerated." Guan Muying smiled slightly. "I'm not the kind of person who likes to make a big fuss. It's just that I'm my dad's only precious daughter, so he inevitably spoils and pampers me a bit."

Beside her, the shop manager quickly said, "Miss Guan, please wait ten minutes. I'll have someone from another shop bring the cufflinks over right now."

"Ten minutes..." Little Follower No. 2 complained, "Mu Ying, you have three important announcements this afternoon, won't you have enough time? Why don't we watch a couple first? If you're satisfied, we can just pay the bill directly, it'll save you trouble."

Guan Muying hesitated slightly: "I'll give one pair to my dad, and the other pair... I plan to buy them together and give them to Yan Yu."

The henchmen gasped: "Give it to Yan Yu? Mu Ying, you, you and Yan Yu..."

Guan Muying blushed slightly: "It's not what you think! It's just that Yan Yu and I come from similar family backgrounds, so we're more familiar with each other than others. Plus, our new drama is about to start filming, so it's just normal friendship to give him a gift then!"

"Mu Ying, you're amazing! I've always seen Yan Yu avoid you when you two meet in public. I thought you two weren't really close, but it turns out you were just trying to avoid being seen. You're actually quite good friends in private!"

Guan Muying hummed in agreement: "The relationships between wealthy and powerful families are complicated. Neither he nor I are the type to expose our private lives, so please don't gossip about it."

"No, no!" Follower #1 took a deep breath, his gaze towards Guan Muying becoming even more eager. "If there's a chance in the future, could you ask him for a custom-made CD set for me? The birthday edition, I didn't win it..."

Guan Muying nodded indifferently: "He left me several sets, specifically instructing me to keep them safe and not to give them away. I'll talk to him about it next time I see him and see if he'll allow me to spare one set..."

"Ahhh! Mu Ying, you're so great!" Little follower number 1 suddenly looked at the store manager, "Didn't you hear us chatting? Hurry up and move the second pair of cufflinks over too!"

The store manager pointed to the phone: "It's been applied for and is on its way. Miss Guan, would you like to look at other things in the store while you wait?"

Guan Muying seemed to hesitate for a moment: "Then, I heard that your store has a men's belt that is also a limited edition worldwide?"

The store manager nodded repeatedly: "There is one, but that style is rather unique and more suitable as a gift for your boyfriend."

Guan Muying nodded casually: "Let me take a look at it too."

"Mu Ying, are you... giving this to Yan Yu?" The little followers were getting restless. Guan Mu Ying blushed slightly and said, "How could I! Yan Yu and I are just good friends! I just suddenly remembered that Li Yu Bai's birthday is coming up next month, and I want to buy him a gift."

"Li Yubai?!" The followers exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't the internet say you'd been pursuing Li Yubai? Could it be... you've succeeded?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense!" Guan Muying waved her hands, feigning panic. "It's just that both families have the idea of ​​this marriage alliance, but it's not even close to happening yet!"

"A marriage alliance..." The little followers widened their eyes, filled with envy!

Jiang Shu overheard these words by chance, and seeing the smug look on Guan Muying's face, who claimed to be the daughter of an official, she felt a little disgusted.

Then she asked the saleswoman who was showing her the discounted items, "Do you have any other limited edition accessories in your store? I'd like five sets!"

"Pfft!" Upon hearing this, Guan Muying and her group all turned to look at her, and then one of her followers sneered, "Does this girl think limited editions are as cheap as cabbages? Five sets, indeed! Even if they exist, judging from your outfit, you probably can't afford them!"

Jiang Shu glanced at her, too lazy to pay attention, and instead looked at the waiter.

The waiter forced a smile and said, "There are only four tie clips and belts left in the limited edition. The tie clips are studded with diamonds, so we might need this many."

She held up three fingers.

"Three million, for one?" Jiang Shu's expression tightened.

The waiter nodded silently and suggested, "Why don't you pick out a few more of the discounted shirts I have? They're only slightly flawed, like a few loose threads, but I can fix them for you. They'll still be presentable."

"No more discounted items," Jiang Shu sighed. "Everyone knows to pick the best things for them. I can't afford to lose face if I give them discounted items. Go get those tie clips and—and that belt they just mentioned for their boyfriend!"

The waiter was stunned for a moment: "Four lapel clips, twelve million. And the belts are three million six hundred thousand, you..."

"Take it out first."

The waiter looked helplessly at the store manager.

Just then, cufflinks from another store were delivered.

The store manager neatly placed two pairs of cufflinks, four tie clips, and a belt on the inspection table: "Everything is here. There's only one belt. Miss Guan and this young lady can discuss privately who will buy it."

Guan Muying's face darkened: "Since when has the Guan family ever needed to compete with an ordinary person for what we want?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It was Mu Ying who said she wanted it first! So naturally it has to be sold to Mu Ying!" the henchmen said indignantly.

Jiang Shu glanced at the embarrassed shop manager, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Guan Muying: "Miss Guan, is this belt really for Li Yubai?"

Guan Muying's eyes turned cold: "So what if it is? My private affairs are none of your business!"

"Since it concerns Li Yubai, I can still inquire about it." Jiang Shu opened WeChat on her phone and made a video call, then asked Guan Muying, "Shall I ask him if he'll accept it?"

Guan Muying sneered: "Who do you think you are, daring to even think about contacting Li—"

The video call connected, and the familiar voice of the cool and aloof beauty, Li Yubai, rang out:
"what happened?"
