Lu Shao is cunning; Miss Nan has fallen for his tricks again.

Chapter 152 Sudden accident
She hesitated, seemingly reluctant to speak.

Lu Zhiruo glanced at Nan Xu out of the corner of her eye and saw the struggle and shame in her eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you embarrassed to say? Is it that embarrassing?" Lu Zhiruo teased.

Nan Xu blushed and said softly, "Actually, it's not that embarrassing, it just feels like something out of a domineering CEO novel."

"Huh? You read novels?" Lu Zhiruo was somewhat shocked.

With her face and alluring figure, Nan Xu looked every bit the mature, sophisticated woman. She hadn't thought Nan Xu would be interested in these girly things.

"Everyone has a youth, right?" Nan Xu smiled helplessly.

"That's true, everyone has a youth."

They arrived in the blink of an eye.

"Do you usually prefer to wear ankle boots or knee-high boots?" Lu Zhiruo asked.

Nan Xu hesitated for a moment, carefully recalling her shoe cabinet. "I don't think I have any particular favorites. I just wear them to match my clothes. What about you? Do you usually prefer long boots or short boots?"

"The boots make my legs look long and thin."

Nan Xu glanced at Lu Zhiruo's legs. She started out as an actress and later worked as a model for a while because of her figure.

She has always maintained a good figure.

Her legs are long and slender even without boots to accentuate them.

As soon as she entered the store, Lu Zhiruo couldn't control her legs, while everyone else was trying on clothes one by one.

But Lu Zhiruo was different; she would buy anything that caught her eye.

"This pair, this pair, and this pair, I don't want these three pairs, but I'll take one pair of the rest in my size. Oh, and this row, and that row, I want them all!" Lu Zhiruo pointed at the short and long boots displayed on the counter as if she were surveying an empire.

The store manager was already used to Lu Zhiruo's "sweeping" sales style. He calmly gave instructions to the sales assistants behind him.

Nan Xu is extravagant when it comes to buying things, but Lu Zhiruo is even more extravagant.

"Are these all new models this year?"

"Yes, Miss Lu." The store manager took the champagne and desserts brought to her by the sales assistant behind her.

"What about the limited edition? It's not on display?" Lu Zhiruo took the champagne and took a sip.

"In the SVIP meeting room, this year's limited edition is limited to 300 pairs per pair worldwide, available only to SVIP customers." The store manager then prepared to lead them to the SVIP meeting room.

Nanxu was used to this kind of scene; VIP customers, after all, almost every brand store would give them some special treatment.

SVIP Meeting Room

"Ah Xu, see if there's anything you like, I'll give it to you."

Nanxu glanced at the shoes displayed on the shoe rack.

She wasn't a fan of this brand of shoes. Since she got together with Lu Zhiyan, she hardly needed to go shopping anymore. The brand would send the latest and limited-edition styles to her home for her to choose from.

She wouldn't want to go shopping if she weren't so bored.

Cen Xi doesn't like this brand of shoes either; only Lu Zhiruo and Lu Zhiyue like it.

Lu Zhiyue carefully selected items, while Cen Xi listlessly flipped through the magazines on the table.

An hour later, Lu Zhiyue and Lu Zhiruo finally finished packing the shoes they had chosen.

Nan Xu and Cen Xi stared silently at the long row of shopping bags laid out on the ground.

Judging by appearances, there are at least sixty pairs of shoes, which means at least sixty shopping bags.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

No matter how much they tried, they couldn't take it all. If I had known that Lu Zhiruo and Lu Zhiyue had such strong purchasing power, I should have brought a few people to carry shopping bags.

"Um, how about I call Uncle Wang and ask him to bring a few people to take them back?" Cen Xi hesitated for a moment, glancing at Lu Zhiruo and Lu Zhiyue.

Before Lu Zhiruo could say anything, the store manager stepped forward with the bill. "This must be Cen Yinghou, right? Our brand offers home delivery service." He then handed the bill to Lu Zhiruo.

Cen Xi never expected that after so many years of being out of the public eye, people would still remember her.

Lu Zhiruo was a regular customer, and she habitually handed the bill to Lu Zhiruo.

Cen Xi took the bill from the store manager first.

More than a million yuan was spent in one hour.

She glanced at it, picked up a pen, and signed the bill.

"What? Aunt, are you feeling sorry for her?" Lu Zhiruo teased Cen Xi.

“What’s there to feel bad about? It’s money for you guys to spend, not for outsiders.” Cen Xi handed the bill to the store manager.

"By the way, Ah Xu, is there anything you like? I'll pay for it for you."

"No need, Auntie. We just received a batch a few days ago, so we don't need to buy any more for now," Nan Xu waved her hand.

Cenxi then noticed the paper bag that Nanxu was carrying.

"Huh? Why are you carrying it? Wasn't Yueyue carrying it?"

"What Yueyue? It's always been me and Axu." Lu Zhiruo glanced helplessly at Cen Xi, while Lu Zhiyue was admiring her shoes in the mirror.

The content of Cen Xi's conversation with them never reached Lu Zhiyue's ears.

"Aunt, sister, sister-in-law, do you think these shoes look especially good on me?" She trotted up to them and walked back and forth in front of them.

"It's beautiful, incredibly beautiful," Lu Zhiruo replied dismissively.

“It suits you very well, and it suits your outfit today very well,” Nan Xu replied sincerely.

"Then I'll wear these shoes home."

"As long as you're happy," Cen Xi said.

"Miss Lu, shall I pack those shoes up and send them home with you?" the store manager asked.

Lu Zhiyue waved her hand dismissively, saying, "No need, just throw it away for me."

Just as they were about to go out, a middle-aged man dressed in black, wearing a mask and a hat, walked towards them.

Nan Xu was walking on the outside of Lu Zhiruo when the man bumped into her.

Fortunately, Nan Xu reacted quickly and pulled Lu Zhiruo into her arms. She frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Hearing the noise, Cen Xi and Lu Zhiyue turned around in confusion.

The man hesitated briefly, then lunged at Lu Zhiruo. Nan Xu had practiced Taekwondo and boxing.

She raised her foot and kicked the man's knee with all her might, knocking him to the ground.

By the time Lu Zhiruo realized what was happening, she was already standing firmly behind Nan Xu.

Cen Xi and Lu Zhiyue also stepped forward with concern to check on the situation. "Are you alright? Are you all okay?"

"It's alright, Auntie, all thanks to A-Xu." Lu Zhiruo patted her chest nervously and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the man kneeling on the ground, Cen Xi was furious. She immediately called the person in charge of their mall.

Soon the mall manager arrived with a large group of people.

"Who are these people? Committing crimes in broad daylight? What if someone gets hurt? Is this how your mall protects its customers' safety?" Cen Xi launched into a tirade against the mall manager.

Cenxi, who is usually gentle and quiet, couldn't help but lose her temper when faced with the sudden accident and started scolding the person.

"Where are the security guards? They saw someone committing violence in the monitoring room and didn't come up right away. Instead, I had to make a phone call. Does your mall even want to stay in business?"
