118: Chapter One Hundred Eighteen

After leaving the clothing store, the two were empty-handed. Because there was too much clothes, they asked the clothing store to send the clothes to their designated location. For those with a large purchase amount, the clothing store arranged delivery. However, the previously tried on coat was being worn by Wang Cheng at the moment. The original jacket was thrown in the garbage bin of the shop.

Wang Cheng wanted to take it back as a souvenir, but seeing the grin of the shopping guide lady, he put up with it and finally gave up his jacket. Within a few steps out of the clothing store, Wang Cheng was again dragged into a shoe store by Chu Yifeng. He bought winter clothes, so naturally, he had to buy winter shoes again.

Men's shoes were not as fancy as women's, and the style was relatively simple. This was a relatively large-scale brand shoe store. Some shoes that had been released at international exhibitions also appeared here. Chu Yifeng fancied one at a glance: double high-top shoes.

"How about these shoes?"

Wang Cheng glanced at the pair of shoes on display; they were not pure black, but black and dark gray. They didn’t feel too hard to the touch, and should not cling to his feet. “Looks good.”

"The two gentlemen have a good eye. This is LV’s first men's shoe to come out this year. It is made of python skin and calfskin. It is very comfortable to wear, and can be worn in both autumn and winter. You can try it. I don’t know what size mister wears?” The sales lady removed the shoes as she introduced them.

"He wears size 42." Chu Yifeng replied.

"Okay, just a second."

The shoes on the shelf were 41. After a while, the sales lady brought a shoebox with a new pair of size 42 men's high-top shoes. The laces had not yet been put in. The sales lady put the laces on before handing it to Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng sat down and tried the shoes with a broken jar mindset. Real python skin and calfskin had the effect of keeping warm, and a protective layer was deliberately made inside. It was really comfortable to wear and the shoes were not too heavy. Some high-top shoes looked good, but they were not light, worn on the feet like two small sandbags.

"How is it?" Chu Yifeng asked.

"Ah, it's pretty good." Wang Cheng stood up and took a few steps. It looked many times better than his original pair of shoes, making him have the urge to buy it.

"Wang Cheng?" A surprised voice suddenly came from behind him. Wang Cheng turned around and saw a man-and-woman pair standing behind him. He didn’t know the woman, but the man was Wang Ningkai: his big-eyes, low-minded, talented elder cousin. He was shocked to meet him here and had an incredible expression.

Wang Cheng heard his mother say a few days ago that Wang Ningkai seemed to have a new girlfriend. Her family was not as good as Lisa’s, but it was better than ordinary well-off families. It was said that their family was also doing business. This woman should be the new girlfriend.

"Ningkai, is he the cousin Wang Cheng that you said deliberately grabbed the north mountain from you and prevented you from doing business?" The woman said first.

Wang Ningkai was embarrassed. His girlfriend took his private words and she said it in front of the said person. No matter how thick his skin was, he couldn't pretend to have heard nothing, and quickly stopped her, saying, "Stop talking."

"Why not say this, isn't it true? Obviously he is a relative, but went against his own elder cousin. This kind of relative is really unnecessary. If I were you, I would have cut off the relationship with this kind of relative." The woman looked at Wang Cheng disgustedly. He didn’t know how Wang Ningkai could tell her that he wanted to contract Beishan as a betrothal gift to marry a single lady who was more wealthy than him. All he told the woman was ironic.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng had already guessed what kind of girlfriend Wang Ningkai had found. A brainless man-and-woman pair really matched with each other. "Fortunately, this lady is not my relative, otherwise I would have to get my mask when I go out." On the subject of poisonous tongues, Wang Cheng would not lose to this nameless woman.

The sales lady standing aside smiled.

"Who is your relative, I wouldn’t even bother to have a relative like you!"

The woman heard that Wang Cheng was taunting her, and she became very angry. "It seems that my elder cousin didn't tell you the truth of the matter." Wang Cheng looked at Wang Ningkai, who had a bad complexion, playfully.

"What's the truth?" The woman asked.

"Well, stop talking." Wang Ningkai growled.

The woman was startled by him, "What’s wrong with you?"

Wang Cheng was not like the woman who would listen to him. Although he knew that Wang Ningkai would definitely not say good things about him after the north mountain incident, he was not the kind of person who would let others repeat it when he talked bad. Now that he heard it, he couldn’t pretend to know nothing.

"Miss, you are so pitiful. Didn't my brother tell you that he had gone out with a rich girl before? That girl is the rich daughter of the leader of the Shanhai City Chi Building Materials Group. In order to marry her, he wanted to use the north mountain’s forest as a betrothal gift. If I hadn't just thought about the north mountain, he would have contracted the north mountain one step before me, and you and my elder cousin would have nothing to do with each other."

"Wang Cheng, I'm your elder cousin, anyway. How can you say that?" Wang Ningkai glared at Wang Cheng. This cousin repeatedly destroyed his good deeds.

Wang Cheng was surprised, "Huh? Elder cousin? Aren't you planning to not recognize me as a relative? Just now, my future sister-in-law said it very well."

"She's her, I'm me. Her words don't represent my position. I'm not married to her yet." Wang Ningkai said without thinking. He didn't want to offend Wang Cheng for the time being. Last time, his grandparents were threatened by Wang Cheng. He already knew it.

"You can mix black and white with her and push the fault on me. Isn't that what you taught?" Wang Cheng looked at him with arms folded.

Wang Ningkai’s face became stiff, "Of course not."

"Hey, Wang Ningkai." The woman screamed angrily. She did not expect that Wang Ningkai would say that. "Didn’t you not acquiesce when I said this? Now you want to clarify our relationship, are you still not my friend?"

"What nonsense are you saying..."

The sales lady was stunned: in just a few words, the two got into a quarrel. Her look at Wang Cheng immediately became worshipping. He was handsome and his eloquence was so good.

"Miss, please help me wrap up these shoes." Wang Cheng took off his shoes and handed them to the saleslady. When he was in a good mood, he didn't feel heartache when he spent more money.

Chu Yifeng, who watched the whole process, smiled, as expected.

When the two left the shoe store. Wang Ningkai and his new girlfriend were still arguing. Later, the sales lady kindly invited them to go out. The shoe store let customers come and quarrel and leave without buying shoes. They were so angry that stopped quarreling, and after a few words from the sales lady, left. They actually didn’t expect to buy shoes when they came to this shoe store. The shoes in the shoe store were all men's shoes from the LV brand. The latest models of the season cost little less than thousands. The shoes that Wang Cheng bought would cost tens of thousands. Although Wang Ningkai had some money in his household, he didn't dare to be so extravagant. The company had already shrunk a bit because of the shock a while ago.

Outside the shopping mall, Wang Ningkai and his girlfriend were a little bit embarrassed. Although they were just too noisy just now, their contact was mixed with some benefits, so this would have soon calmed down and resumed their intimate relationship.

"Ningkai, didn't you say that your third cousin was doing a small business? How could he have money to come to this expensive place and buy such expensive shoes?" The girlfriend took his arm and suddenly thought of this, it seemed like there had been another man.

Wang Ningkai frowned. "I don't know. Maybe he occasionally wants to be extravagant."

"That's too extravagant, it feels a bit off. Do you remember the man who was just with him?" The girlfriend didn't accept this statement. She could see that the coat on Wang Cheng's body was expensive, too. With a little money, it was impossible to be so luxurious. She vaguely remembered that the other person looked like a rich man.

"What happened to that man?"

The girlfriend's eyes turned around, revealing an expression of malicious intent, "Would it be that the man paid the money for him?"

"What do you want to say in the end?"

Wang Ningkai didn't understand what she meant by this topic.

"It's stupid. If that man bought it for your third cousin, wouldn't it mean that your third cousin is eating soft rice, eating a man’s soft rice? What does this mean? Needless to say, if I can guess it, you can guess it. Come on? "

[T/N: ‘Eat soft rice/food’= a man relying on an older woman, usually monetarily.]

"No, Wang Cheng doesn't seem like that kind of person." Wang Ningkai looked wrongly.

"Even if he isn't, don't you want to get revenge on him?" The girlfriend still hated those words that Wang Cheng said, however, he was not as jealous as Wang Ningkai of Wang Cheng.

"Okay, don't talk about it. I have my own opinion on this matter." Wang Ningkai was upset by what she said. After all, he had never been exposed to this aspect, so it was a bit hard to imagine. However, he didn't think that without consulting him, his girlfriend told Li without permission. They were eating in the restaurant at the time, Li called him. He just happened to go to the bathroom, when his girlfriend picked it up in the conversation. The two women got together, just imagine what would happen.
