The rich man could not afford to offend a man like Samuel!He walked back into the store. He then proceeded to roll out of the store like a ball of flesh.“I’m sorry,” the nouveau riche man said. “I was wrong.”The pretty woman felt as though her face had been completely ripped off her body. “Are you insane?” she snarled at the nouveau riche man. “You do whatever he tells you to. Are you a dog?”A flash of fury creased between the nouveau riche man’s brows. He directed a cutting glare at the pretty woman. “What f*cking nonsense are you going on about? Who are you to speak here? Talk, talk, talk. Yak, yak, yak.”Yvonne and Linda were confused. Sure, the nouveau riche pig rolled out of the store. Now he lashed out in anger. Was he suffering from a brain aneurysm? He did say that he would get out of the store if Samuel could pay, but even if he did not fulfill his promise, no one would do anything against him.The pretty woman buried her face in her palms, not daring to speak another word
When Samuel took Yvonne and left, a beautiful figure rushed out of the main entrance of the department store. She scanned her surroundings, then went back in disappointment when she did not see a certain silhouette.The next day at around 3am, Samuel was sleeping soundly on the floor. Then Yvonne’s phone abruptly rang.Few people would call in the middle of the night. Yvonne stared at the display screen, silent.“Don’t tell me that you haven’t slept yet because you’re still trying on clothes,” Samuel said resignedly.She was too lazy to hold the phone to her ear, so she turned the loudspeaker on. An ear-piercing shriek that belonged to Linda came from the phone.“Yvonne, I'm in love! I finally found my Prince Charming.”Yvonne could not help but roll her eyes. “It’s in the middle of the night,” she said. “Are you nuts?”Sob sob. Linda suddenly pretended to cry. Yvonne was too tired to respond to that.“I shouldn’t have gone to the toilet yesterday. I wouldn’t have let my Prince Charmin
Not a single person was willing to serve Samuel when he walked into the store. He walked around by himself. He wanted the A6 model; other than being able to ferry Yvonne to and from her office, he could use it when he was conducting business negotiations. After all, Yvonne was the project leader of the Westside City project, and it was time for the Toyota at home to be replaced.Of course, Samuel could buy an even more luxurious car. However, it would be troublesome to explain everything to Yvonne’s side of the family if he threw his weight about shamelessly. He was lucky that Yvonne did not question him too much when he bought the entire store yesterday. He would not have known how to explain it otherwise.He stopped in front of a brand new A6. A salesman quickly approached Samuel.“We’ve got the A3 model here, a solid beginner’s car. I can introduce you to it if you’re interested,” the salesman said.“When can I get the car if I pay today?” Samuel asked directly.The salesperson gawk
“You got new wheels?”Samuel walked toward the general store after he parked the car on the street right by the store, and the owner greeted him with a smile and those words.“It’s almost summer so it’ll be hot.”The owner automatically took out a pack of cigarettes that he usually smoked. However, the A6 did not quite match Samuel’s entire appearance. “Do you want to switch your smoke brand?” the owner asked.“No need,” Samuel replied. “I’ll save money for petrol.”The owner shook his head, wearing a rueful smile. “You won’t save money for petrol by smoking.”“A penny saved is a penny earned. I’d be labeled a failure otherwise.” Samuel opened the pack and offered the owner a cigarette.The owner extended a hand at the same time, a lighter in his grip. The duo’s actions complemented each other seamlessly, as though there was an invisible thread of understanding between them. This understanding had been carved through time. It had been three years, after all.The owner huffed, releasing
“Yes, Mom?” Yvonne asked.“Your father will drive this car starting from tomorrow,” Lydia said.“Why? This is—”“Don’t ask why,” Lydia interrupted Yvonne before she could complete her sentence. “Now that you’re successful, can’t you let us two old folks live comfortably? It’s such a nice car too. And what if you let Samuel drive it, but he doesn’t know how to appreciate it? If he gets it into an accident, we’ll need to spend a lot to fix the car!”“Mom, this car was bought by—”“Not another word. The matter has been decided,” Lydia said, waving her hand impatiently. “I know that he’s been ferrying you to and from your office lately, but you can’t keep an eye on him 24/7. If you let him drive such a nice car, he might have an impulse to go around hooking other women. How about this then? We’ll let him drive our Toyota.”Yvonne was stunned speechless. Samuel had bought the car himself; she had not paid a single cent for it. How could her mother just take it as she pleased?“Oh, right. Yo
Samuel’s expression froze when he heard the owner’s words. There was no surprise—but there was a problem. It was a serious conundrum, having to explain everything to Yvonne.“Do you have any experience with hiding your inheritance, sir?” he asked the owner. “How would you explain it if you got found out?”The owner suddenly cackled aloud. “You’ve come to the right person,” he said. “It requires great skill to hide your inheritance. And I have no experience in this field of expertise.”Samuel rolled his eyes. He had been taking the old man seriously, and he was just pulling his leg.The owner’s expression turned just as awkward as his. “Why do we men earn money? It’s to let our wives spend it,” he continued. “How could anyone do such a heinous thing like hide their inheritance? Take me for example. I never had a thought like this cross my mind.“We slave our entire lives to make our woman happy, no? In the past, King You of the Chinese Zhou dynasty waged wars against warlords for the sa
Only one person had booked the entire restaurant before. Two years ago, the son of a wealthy family chose to propose to his girlfriend in the Crystal Restaurant. The event had been a huge sensation, and many women had intently admired his girlfriend. This incident was also a stark contrast against how Samuel had married into the Sues, and plenty of people had compared the two episodes.“No problem. Do you have any special requests in mind?” the manager replied happily. The restaurant was a business that was out to make a profit. Since this customer said that money was not a problem, naturally everything else was not a problem.“Can you arrange a piano to be in the middle of the restaurant?” Samuel asked.“No problem at all,” the manager replied. “So long as you are able to pay, we will fulfill your every need and want.”Samuel stayed for a while, discussing details with the manager. He only left after he paid the deposit.The waiters in the restaurant could not help but recall the inci
Linda's pent-up anger was boiling after seeing Yara covering her mouth and giggling sarcastically."What's wrong with the twenty-second? Does that day even represent anything?" Linda asked.Yara deliberately used that to mock Yvonne, but even if Linda took over the conversation, Yara would certainly not let go of the opportunity to continue ridiculing Yvonne."It doesn't signify anything, but this is the sheer difference. After all, it happened on the same day, and even if I don't say anything, I can't stop outsiders from remembering the twenty-second from three years ago," Yara said."Plenty of things happened on that day but all you can do is watch yearningly. Does it even have anything to do with you?" Linda retorted.Yara snorted coldly and said, "I don’t really care whether or not it has anything to do with me. At least I don't have such a useless man. You can’t even begin to imagine how rich my future husband’s family will be."Linda heard from Yvonne about those betrothal gifts
