I smirked and turned off my phone.
The next morning, I woke up early and headed to the local luxury mall. Just after I bought two bags, my sister-in-law and the others arrived.
“Zixuan, what did you buy?” my sister-in-law approached eagerly, reaching for my shopping bags. I stepped back, and she missed her grab.
“What are you doing?” I asked coldly.
“I just want to see what you bought,” she replied as if it were obvious. “Zixuan, you’re like a daughter to our family. Isn’t it natural for me, as your sister-in-law, to take a look?”
“No,” I coldly replied with two words.
Her expression changed: “You…”
“Enough,” my brother intervened, wrapping his arms around her in comfort. “She can buy whatever she wants; after all, she has money.”
“Right, right, right,” my sister-in-law quickly changed her tone and smiled at me. “Zixuan, buy whatever you want; your brother is wealthy.”
“Oh really?” I raised an eyebrow and walked into a store.
“I’ll take this, this, and this.”
“And this one, this one, and this one—I want them all.”
“I’ll take one of every color in this collection.”
“This one, this one, and this one—I want them all.”
In one breath, I cleared out several high-end stores. The sales staff beamed with joy while my sister-in-law and the others looked on in shock.
"Zixuan, why did you buy so much?" my sister-in-law's voice was sharp.
I smiled lightly, "Because I like it."
"That's right, my sister is just wealthy," my brother said proudly. "Sister, if you see anything you like, feel free to buy it. I've got plenty of money."
"Okay," I nodded with a smile.
After shopping for a while, I noticed my sister-in-law and the others were getting tired, so I suggested we go eat.
They naturally agreed.
I led them to a high-end restaurant and ordered a feast.
After we had eaten our fill, I prepared to settle the bill.
Suddenly, my sister-in-law called out to me, "Zixuan, can you buy me a bag too?"
"Yes," my brother nodded in agreement. "Sister, get Suqin a bag as well."
"Sure," I replied with a smile.
My sister-in-law looked excited and was about to speak when I jumped in first: "You all go pick one out. Once you've chosen, I'll take care of the payment."
"Okay, okay!" My sister-in-law was so excited she nearly jumped up.
She eagerly went to choose a bag, and my brother followed to help her.
Our parents sat in their seats, watching me with smiles of appreciation on their faces.
"Zixuan has really grown up."
"Yes, she's become quite successful."
I smiled lightly but said nothing.
Before long, my sister-in-law had picked out a classic bag that cost eighty-eight thousand.
With excitement on her face, she handed it to me: "Zixuan, this one!"
I took a look at it and then put it back down. "It's too cheap."
"What?" my sister-in-law screamed. "Is this still cheap?"
I nodded. "Yes, keep looking."
"No need," she quickly shook her head. "I like this one."
"You like it, but I don't," I said with a smile. "I don't want it."
"What did you say?" Her expression changed.
I looked at her innocently. "Sister-in-law, this bag is too cheap; I don't like it."
"But you like it, so just buy it for yourself."
"You..." Her face turned pale with anger.
My brother stepped in to defend her. "Sister, how can you talk like that?"
"It's just a bag. Your sister-in-law likes it; what's wrong with you buying it for her?"
"You have money, don't you?"
I blinked. "But why should I buy it for her?"
"Just because I'm your brother and she's your sister-in-law!" he shouted.
I laughed. "Brother, have you forgotten that you both signed a Guarantee Letter with me?"
"From now on, you have no financial ties with me. My money is mine to spend however I want; you can't control that."
"You..." He was taken aback, his face turning red.
Our parents looked on awkwardly.
I smiled and turned to head to the checkout.
