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

Chapter 171 Speaking Human Language

This shout startled Zhang Kexin so much that her hand trembled, but she still turned to Du Anrao with good temper and asked, "Miss, is there any other problem?"

Seeing this, the woman not far away seemed to have found a reason to mock her. She crossed her arms and said smugly, "What other problem could there be? She must not have enough money, right? I just warned you, but you didn't believe me. With her outfit, could it even cost a thousand yuan? She wants to come up with ten million in one go? That's just a pipe dream!"

"I suddenly remembered, I think I have a discount card here, do you think I can use it?"

Du Anrao rummaged through his bag for a while and finally found a light gold card with "50% off" written on it. The card also had the logo of the Ya Yu family printed on the bottom.

This card was tucked under the jewelry box when Ms. Qiu had someone deliver the two sets of jewelry to the Du Anrao sisters. Before coming here, Du Anrao thought it would be useful in case of emergency, so she brought all these miscellaneous cards with her, and now they come in handy.

The moment the card was taken out, the store fell into complete silence.

A moment later, the woman broke the silence, throwing her head back and laughing loudly, "Hahahaha, this is hilarious! Coming to a jewelry store to buy something and bringing this obviously fake discount card. You don't actually think everyone is as stupid as you, that they'd be fooled by such a low-class trick and actually give you a discount, do you?"

The woman tried to snatch the card from Du Anrao's hand, saying, "A 50% off card? What store would give a customer a 50% off card? It's not like they don't want to do business. If you want to scam people, at least come up with a relatively plausible scam. Asking someone to give you a 50% off discount? Why don't you just say you're being given all this jewelry for free?"

Unexpectedly, before she could even extend her hand to Du Anrao, Zhang Kexin took the card first, examined it carefully, and her eyes brightened slightly: "Are you Miss Du?"

Du Anrao looked surprised: "You know me?"

“I don’t know you, but everyone in our company knows you.” After confirming Du Anrao’s identity, Zhang Kexin’s smile became even more amiable. “Your card is fine. I’ll process the paperwork for you now.”

"What? No problem?" the woman screamed, and even Mr. Sun, who had been watching from the sidelines and letting his lover do as he pleased, changed his expression.

"That's ridiculous! How could this discount card be real? I've never heard of your store having any discount cards, let alone such a discount!"

Hearing him say that, the woman felt more confident: "That's right, our CEO Sun's cousin-in-law is the manager of your store. How could he not know if your store has discount cards? If he says it's fake, then the card must be fake."

Zhang Kexin already didn't have a good impression of the two, and now that she knew Du Anrao's identity, she unconditionally stood by her side.

"Just because this gentleman doesn't know doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Miss Du's card was personally presented by our group's chairman, and to this day, there is only one of its kind on the market. It's genuine and of the highest quality, and we treat everyone fairly."

Zhang Kexin's words only made things worse, as they further enraged President Sun: "Your group's chairman gave it to her? This little brat, does she even deserve the favor of the chairman of Ya Yu Group? Absolutely not. I suspect you and she are in cahoots, conspiring to transfer store assets under the guise of purchasing jewelry."

"That's right, I never thought of that. Mr. Sun, you're really too smart."

Mr. Sun was very pleased with his mistress's compliments, which made him even more determined to stick to his own views.

“You wait, I’m calling my cousin-in-law right now and he’ll come and deal with you personally.”

Completely unprepared for this turn of events, Jiang Younian's expression was complicated, filled with doubt: "Do you think these two people are crazy? Why do they keep targeting us for no reason?"

If he remembered correctly, it was these two who started the trouble at the door. They were already being magnanimous and understanding by not making a fuss about it. How could they have gotten bitten by them instead? It was completely baffling.

Du Anrao pondered for a moment, then said in a deliberately profound tone, "Negative emotions inherent in being human: inferiority, vanity, jealousy... Some people disdain these and scoff at them, while others are destined to be entangled with them for life, unable to break free." "...Speak like a human being."

"He probably just can't accept that his cousin-in-law is a store manager, but he still can't get a 50% off card. He's envious and jealous... me?"

"...You're a fucking genius."

Du Anrao: "..."

The brother and sister looked at each other, and in the end, they both showed an awkward but polite smile.

Although this reason is far-fetched, it may not be entirely unreasonable upon closer examination, just like when the two first started causing trouble for them, they kept calling them poor bastards.

But what's the reality? Even buying a bracelet for a mistress requires embezzling public funds.

In summary, it's nothing more than caring more about what you don't have, and becoming even more envious when you see others have it, trying every means to destroy it, as if only in this way can you prove your own value and that you are superior to others.

As a leading jewelry brand in China, Ya Yu Shi Jia naturally has more than just a few customers. However, most people were only focused on themselves until Du Anrao's row of spoils was displayed, which attracted the attention of other customers in the store. Now, they all gathered around the group, pointing and whispering among themselves.

Those who came in later couldn't resist joining in the fun and crowded around to watch.

"What's going on? Younian, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Yunian had just finished gossiping with Du Anrao when he heard someone call his name. The two of them turned around at the same time and saw two beautiful young girls.

Du Anrao glanced at Jiang Younian: "You know him?"

"My brother's old classmate, we've met a few times before." After explaining to Du Anrao, Jiang Younian greeted the girl who called out his name, "Sister Chu Hui, what are you doing here?"

“I was out shopping with a friend, and when we passed this store, I saw someone who looked a lot like you from afar, so I went in. I didn't expect it to actually be you.” Yu Chuhui finished speaking and gestured between the two people. “What are you two doing…”

Jiang Younian's expression was subtle. He sighed and said, "Don't even mention it. I finally had time to go shopping with my cousin, and we ran into two weirdos who were looking for trouble. It's so unlucky."

"Cousin?" Yu Chuhui looked at Du Anrao in surprise, unable to hide the curiosity in her eyes.

Before the group could continue catching up, Mr. Sun, who claimed to have powerful connections and would make things difficult for Du Anrao and his companion, suddenly raised his voice and strode out to greet them.

"Brother-in-law, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come soon, your shop would have been emptied out by the parasites."

Du Anrao and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man with a bloated belly walk in from outside with a flamboyant woman.

Upon hearing Mr. Sun's words, his face darkened, and he shouted loudly, "Who is it? Who dares to cause trouble in my shop?"
