The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 239 Destroying the Marriage 5_1

At this moment, Xu Xiaoya looked up. When she saw Mrs. Huang beside Zhou Xiaoxuan, an ominous premonition immediately flashed through her mind. She hurried over, greeting her enthusiastically, "Auntie Huang, are you here to look at bags? Please, come in, have a seat, and enjoy a cup of coffee."

When the coffee was served, Mrs. Huang glanced around. Xu Xiaoya had her own office, exquisitely furnished and tidy. The suit she wore was clearly high-end, lending her the air of a top-tier white-collar professional.

"Xiaoya, it’s only been two or three years since I last saw you, and you’ve changed so much."

"You’re too kind, Auntie Huang. By the way, have you seen any styles you like? If you find one, I can get you the best possible price. It’s the end of the year, and we have a promotional offer: internal staff each get a one-time 70% discount. I can give my discount to you."

Zhou Xiaoxuan exclaimed, "Xu Xiaoya, aren’t you playing favorites a bit too much? I’ve been here so many times, and the best you ever gave me was a 10% discount. Now you’re saying you can give a 70% discount?"

Xu Xiaoya chuckled. "This is an internal staff discount, only available once a year, and it must be used this month. Besides, you already have so many bags. When the new arrivals come in after the New Year, I’ll save the best one for you, alright?"

"Hmph. At least you’re sharp."

Zhou Xiaoxuan knew this was Xu Xiaoya’s ploy, clearly aimed at currying favor with Yan Xixi’s future mother-in-law, but she decided to go along with it.

Xu Xiaoya smiled and turned to Mrs. Huang. "Auntie Huang, shall I accompany you to take a look? Whichever one you choose, I’ll give you the 70% discount."

Indeed, Mrs. Huang was greatly tempted. A 70% discount! What an incredible bargain.

Observing Mrs. Huang’s reaction, Xu Xiaoya became even more enthusiastic. "Come, let me help you choose."

Mrs. Huang looked at more than ten bags, back and forth. Xu Xiaoya showed no impatience whatsoever, very enthusiastically and attentively helping her try them on. Finally, Mrs. Huang chose one originally priced at over 50,000 yuan, which came to just over 10,000 yuan after the discount.

"Auntie, there are complimentary gifts too. This gold chain matches the bag perfectly, and I’ll include this purple silk scarf for you as well."

Mrs. Huang was overjoyed with so many high-quality gifts, beaming from ear to ear. She praised her repeatedly, "Xiaoya, you’re truly a natural at business—so warm and thoughtful. I feel much more at ease knowing Xixi has a friend like you."

Zhou Xiaoxuan, watching from the side, was practically seething. Xu Xiaoya, oh Xu Xiaoya, do you really have to go to such lengths to curry favor with Yan Xixi?

Mrs. Huang went to the restroom. Xu Xiaoya quickly pulled Zhou Xiaoxuan aside and lowered her voice, "Zhou Xiaoxuan, you absolutely must not spout nonsense in front of Auntie Huang..."

Zhou Xiaoxuan scoffed. "It looks to me like you’ve nearly given away all the display accessories just to please Yan Xixi’s future mother-in-law. And a 70% discount! Xu Xiaoya, you really have guts to tell such a lie! Yan Xixi is footing the bill for this one anyway, so you don’t feel the pinch, do you?"

Xu Xiaoya smiled gently and took her hand. "Little Xuanyuan, we were classmates, after all. Why cause trouble? Xixi has endured countless hardships to get where she is today. Just turn a blind eye to this, please? When that new bag you like arrives, I’ll give you a 70% discount too, okay?"

Zhou Xiaoxuan just sneered. "Auntie Huang is always boasting about how her son is a general manager, a true Diamond King. Tell me, if she knew Yan Xixi owns such a large store and has a higher net worth than her son, what do you think she would think?"

Xu Xiaoya’s face paled in panic. "Little Xuanyuan, you absolutely mustn’t spout such nonsense! They say it’s better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a single marriage. Sabotaging someone’s happiness is a terrible offense, one that invites heavenly retribution..."

Just then, Mrs. Huang came out, grinning. "What are you two whispering about so intently?"

(Some readers have complained that there’s only one Chapter update in two days. Dears, could we please open our eyes a bit wider? It’s actually five sections a day, five thousand words! That’s definitely not slow. P.S. Recommending Ugly Duckling’s new book, "The Empress’s Edict: The Emperor’s Grand Clearance Sale." It’s a good read.)
