My System Forces Me to Live off Women-Chapter 101 - 98: Transformation (Second Update)

Faced with Wu Wenyue’s sarcastic remarks, Xu Manning didn’t respond, and instead took two steps to the right to observe the watches at another counter.

"Why aren’t you talking? What watch are you looking at? This lousy watch worth tens of thousands can’t possibly represent your sincerity. Can’t afford a car, can you? Really can’t, huh?"

Xu Manning’s face was full of hostility: "Yueyue, if you don’t want your mouth, it can be sewn shut. I’d like you better as a mute!"

Wu Wenyue sneered: "Yueyue is Yueyue, don’t add ’little’, call me that again and I’ll hit you!!"

"Lame!"

Perhaps responding to Wu Wenyue’s words, or maybe the store’s products weren’t satisfying, Xu Manning pursed her lips, simply took out her phone, and hummed: "You want me to give him a car, right? Mercedes-Benz G, right?"

Wu Wenyue raised her eyebrows and said: "Yeah! That way your sincerity will show!"

"Then I’ll take your advice and give a Mercedes. The 4S shop is closed? I’ll call my friends! Pull some strings, I can still buy one, and even get an available car!"

Xu Manning sneered as she searched through her phone contacts: "To be honest, I don’t have much cash on hand recently because of the ’True Self’ project, but I can make a down payment and take out a loan for the rest!"

Really?

Wu Wenyue was startled inside but remained calm on the surface: "You’re so sincere, willing to eat bran and swallow vegetables to give a friend a Mercedes-Benz G. You’re truly the Xu Manning, generous and righteous, noble and gallant, the Capital’s female public relations... no, the Capital’s female Guan Yu!!"

Xu Manning chuckled: "Just wait and see, I’ll let you witness me giving the G to him and how thrilled he’ll be! That mouse and keyboard of yours, well, I’ll allow you to put them in the trunk of the car."

"When I hand him the car keys and you give him the brand new mouse and keyboard, Li Peifeng should be very happy, right?"

Xu Manning asked knowingly: "He won’t be so materialistic as to disdain the gifts you gave for not being classy, right? It’s the thought that counts! He’s not that kind of person!"

Wu Wenyue’s smile was somewhat forced: "Hmm."

"By the way, Li Peifeng’s parents are coming to the Capital in a few days too, right? When Uncle and Aunt know this car is from me, and that I gave their precious son a Mercedes-Benz G!"

"..."

"Guess how Uncle and Aunt will view us?"

Xu Manning originally didn’t want to give such an expensive car, feeling somewhat riled up by Wu Wenyue’s taunts, but talking about this, thinking about this, her mood suddenly improved, like drinking ice cold cola on a hot summer day!

"Uncle and Aunt aren’t materialistic people either!"

Xu Manning snickered: "They wouldn’t decide I’m their daughter-in-law just because I gave Li Peifeng a big G, nor would they snub you because you gave a keyboard and mouse. They’d definitely treat us equally!"

You’re talking nonsense!!!!

Even people indifferent to fame and fortune can’t resist a Mercedes-Benz G!

Wu Wenyue’s heart began to tremble, starting to regret it!

Clearly knowing Xu Manning spends extravagantly, last time she spent more than eight million yuan on property for Li Peifeng, why did she still intentionally bait her just now?

This is purely like being a naked person meeting a trafficker, disgraceful and embarrassing!

"Maybe don’t..."

"Hmm, found it, I’m calling now!"

Seeing her reaction, Xu Manning was even more satisfied, pretending to dial her phone...

On the other side, Zhao Qingge listened to their conversation clearly, expressionless as water: "Your ex seems to have a pretty good relationship with you? Even willing to borrow money to give you a Mercedes?"

This isn’t gifting a Mercedes, it’s basically sending me to my doom!

Li Peifeng sighed helplessly: "Ever since we broke up, Xu Manning has been wanting to get back together, but I never agreed. Gosh, Director, at times like this, you still have time to think about this? We’re about to be discovered!"

Zhao Qingge turned around, taking off a bracelet as she spoke: "I’ll leave first, you stay here, as long as we don’t appear together..."

"No!" Li Peifeng immediately interrupted: "As long as you walk out and the door opens, if they hear any noise, they might instinctively look at you, then I’m left here and encounter them, they’ll definitely get suspicious!"

"Here you go."

Zhao Qingge handed the bracelet to the counter lady, her expression completely calm and composed.

"You don’t have to do anything, just walk up to them, they’ll surely start talking to you on their own, then you can chit-chat a bit, divert their attention away from me, and I’ll find an opportunity to..."

Li Peifeng spoke quickly but before he finished, Zhao Qingge was already walking towards the two girls.

"Uncle Deng, I need to trouble you with something."

"..."

"Great, you have a G500 available? How much?"

"..."

While Xu Manning was on the phone, Zhao Qingge’s footsteps gradually faded away, and Li Peifeng breathed a sigh of relief, just waiting for her to talk to the two girls, then he’d plan on slightly poking his head out to take a look, seize the moment and... eh?

Li Peifeng saw the round-faced female clerk’s eyes light up and immediately began talking softly: "Miss, can you help me with something?"

The female clerk, probably in her early twenties, dressed in a black and white uniform, with a ponytail, had looks that were on the average level.

To be fair, she truly deserved to be an employee in a top-level luxury store; her business skills and psychology were also top-notch. Even having overheard Zhao Qingge and Li Peifeng’s entire conversation, saw the latter’s unusual behavior, she showed no abnormal expression, nor was she staring at Li Peifeng incessantly...

Upon hearing his greeting, the round-faced female clerk slightly nodded: "What do you want to say?" She spoke while not forgetting to put the bracelet back into the counter.

This is what professionalism is called? This is professionalism!!

Li Peifeng secretly admired, guessing the other had probably been working in luxury stores long enough, having seen all kinds of situations; his little mischance was probably nothing peculiar to her...

Li Peifeng couldn’t help but slightly relax internally while putting forth his request: "Could you keep an eye on those two girls’ line of sight for me? If they don’t notice me, just let me know... you understand, for unspeakable reasons, I don’t want them to see me here."

"No problem!"

The round-faced female clerk didn’t glance at Li Peifeng at all, looked straight ahead, and whispered: "The customer is always right!"

"I’m very grateful to..."

Before Li Peifeng could finish saying the word ’you,’ the round-faced female clerk immediately supplemented with a sentence: "But you seem not to be our customer yet."

You are ridiculously professional.

Li Peifeng’s smile paused but didn’t waver, swiftly said: "I’ll buy, I’ll buy the bracelet she just tried on, and later I’ll purchase two other pieces of jewelry, spending not less than one hundred and fifty thousand!"

"..." The round-faced female clerk glanced at him, then returned her gaze straight forward, remaining silent.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Li Peifeng said through clenched teeth: "If you don’t agree, I’ll walk right out, and if they discover me, I’ll deal with it as it is!"

The round-faced female clerk hesitantly said: "What if you walk right out and never return?"

Li Peifeng was speechless: "Once those two girls leave, I’ll surely come back!"

"..."

"Can’t there be some trust between people?"

"..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The round-faced female clerk gave him a complex look, but the meaning was clear: Why should I trust you, a deadbeat planning to flee?!
