Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 169 Probably a wolf in sheep's clothing
Jiang Younian was a little embarrassed. My dear little sister, is it possible that this shopping mall is round, and the more you walk in the opposite direction, the more likely you are to run into these two!

Despite his thoughts, Jiang Younian still took a step back, distancing himself from the two people, despite his reluctance.

What a joke! These two are dangerous individuals who could bring their little guy a lot of bad luck if they stamped his name. He'd better stay away from them to avoid being affected; that would be such a waste.

There was more than one employee in the jewelry store. As another customer came in, another employee quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Sir/Madam, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Darling, lately I've been feeling a bit empty in my hands, it's not quite right." The woman stretched out her right hand, with bright red nail polish, revealing her slender, fair wrist.

The vibrant red color contrasts sharply with her snow-white skin, making her wrists appear even more slender and smooth.

A glint of infatuation flashed in the man's eyes, and he said with a smile, "Buy, buy, buy whatever you like."

“You said it yourself.” The woman excitedly pointed to the jade bracelet that Du Anrao had just taken out. “I think that one is nice. The color should suit my skin tone very well.”

Du Anrao paused in his hand holding the bracelet, and Jiang Younian's face darkened on the spot.

This woman did it on purpose!

"Alright, alright, if you like it, we'll buy it." Mr. Sun turned to the saleswoman and shouted, "Didn't you hear what she said? Quickly find one just like that bracelet."

The sales clerk in charge of the two was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, ma'am, the material of that bracelet is quite special. The style that lady is holding is the only one left in our store. Would you like to look at something else?"

"Is that the only one left?" The woman's eyes darted around, and she immediately shook Mr. Sun's arm, pouting, "I don't care, I just like that one, I want that one."

Mr. Sun was distracted by her antics and his ego was getting a little swelled up. He pointed at the waitress and said imperiously, "You, go over there and bring me that bracelet."

Jiang Younian was initially reluctant to argue with Du Anrao because of their assessment of the two men, but he didn't expect that even though they didn't care, these two men would take advantage of his kindness. His anger flared up again.

"What do you mean? Didn't you see my sister is still looking at this bracelet?"

"What are you looking at? Even if you look for a long time, can you afford to buy it? Aren't you just wasting the shop assistant's time? You..." The woman pointed at the female shop assistant, "Go over there and bring me that bracelet."

Jiang Younian's face darkened, and he was about to lash out, but Du Anrao pulled him back again.

"An An..."

Du Anrao smiled at him, shook his head, and handed over the bracelet on his hand.

Jiang Younian was extremely frustrated, but he always kept his parents' instructions in mind and put his little cousin's wishes first in everything, so he had no choice but to suppress his frustration for the time being.

The woman picked up the jade bracelet and examined it closely. She was quickly captivated by its crystal-clear material and couldn't wait to slip the bracelet onto her wrist: "Is it pretty?"

"It looks great, this color really suits your skin tone."

The woman smiled gently, her captivating eyes gazing intently at the man, her meaning clear. Mr. Sun, never one to resist temptation, pointed confidently at the saleswoman and said, "How much is this bracelet? We'll buy it."

The saleswoman, with a polite, formulaic smile, replied in a highly professional and standard manner, "You two have excellent taste. The bracelet this lady has chosen is a high-grade icy jadeite bracelet, which is very rare and precious. Consequently, its price is higher than that of ordinary jade bracelets, and it costs 600,000."

"How many?"

Based on their expectations, the bracelet was worth at most fifty or sixty thousand yuan. When the price of six hundred thousand yuan was mentioned, both of them changed their expressions.

Mr. Sun simply thought it was too expensive and felt a pang of heartache. His mistress, however, was worried that he wouldn't be willing to part with the money and would back out on the spot, which would make her lose face completely.

Fortunately, although Mr. Sun was heartbroken, he understood that the two of them were now a community of interest, and if he couldn't come up with the money, it wouldn't just be the woman who lost face.

"That's great, check please." He said the last two words, "check please," through gritted teeth, and looked at the person next to him as if he wanted to devour them.

The woman trembled with fear, knowing that Mr. Sun might not do anything to her in front of everyone, but things might be different once they got back.

Realizing things were going badly, the woman finally felt a pang of regret.

Jiang Younian was already furious and had been secretly watching the two of them. Naturally, he noticed their changing expressions and furtive glances. His anger vanished, and he even felt a little schadenfreude.

Before he could share this discovery with Du Anrao, his little cousin dropped a bombshell.

[Tsk tsk tsk, embezzling public funds and still daring to be so blatant, is this what they call ignorance is bliss? Don't worry, don't worry! You two will probably be spending a few years behind bars soon, and maybe you can even become a pair of prison lovers there.]

Embezzlement?! And what the hell is this "prison couple" thing? You probably mean a philandering couple, right?
Jiang Younian glanced at the two people not far away, then at his little cousin who was comparing the quality of the jewelry, and a ridiculous idea suddenly popped into his head.

Could it be that his little cousin had already figured out what these two were really capable of, and deliberately picked out an expensive piece of jewelry to lure them into a fight, so that they would have no choice but to buy it in public to save face and suffer in silence?
If that's the case, his little cousin is probably a cunning schemer with a lot of knowledge!

Jiang Younian shuddered, but quickly came to his senses. Even if his cousin had deliberately set a trap for the two of them, they deserved it!

They have nothing better to do than cause trouble for others and mock them for putting on a show of wealth. Those who embezzled public funds to support women could barely afford a bracelet worth 600,000 yuan. Who is really pretending to be rich?

Jiang Younian felt increasingly relieved as he thought about it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This made Mr. Sun, who was already feeling sensitive because of the 600,000 yuan, turn pale. He took it personally and felt that the other party was making fun of him.

The woman beside him sensed something was wrong and decisively shifted the blame, accusing the villain first: "What are you laughing at? You rude, poor wretch."

Jiang Younian's face darkened, and Du Anrao stepped forward, sneering, "Is it illegal to even smile in a jewelry store these days? Or is this young lady eyeing these pieces of jewelry in front of me again, and trying to use this as an excuse to take one or two more?"

The woman's face stiffened slightly, but she still wouldn't let go of the two men: "Smiling isn't illegal, of course, but I just bought a bracelet, so I'm a VIP customer of this store and have the right to enjoy the store's services. On the contrary, you two poor bastards have been looking around for so long but can't afford anything, and you reek of poverty. It's an eyesore. You guys get them out of here. I don't want to be in the same store as them."
