The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 730 - They Were Unmistakably Poor

Chapter 730: They Were Unmistakably Poor

New Era Mall was located on Chaoyang Road at the West District of Liyang City. This was Liyang City’s largest mall and it was extremely crowded her at night with many young people dining, shopping, and enjoying themselves.

The shops in the mall sold rather expensive goods.

He Xiyan and Chen Jiahang arrived at the mall around 7 PM.

It was late evening, so the mall was bustling and very crowded.

Several buskers sang in the square outside the mall and there were two telecommunication companies carrying out promotional activities, so it was very noisy at the square.

He Xiyan brought Chen Jiahang to a milk tea shop and she bought one cup of milk tea each for them.

She noticed that she really loved drinking milk tea ever since they moved to the city. She would practically buy one cup a day, so she guessed that she must have loved drinking milk tea before she lost her memory.

Then, they entered the mall. Accessories and jewelry were sold on the first floor, so they didn’t even browse around since they could neither afford nor did they need these items.

He Xiyan brought Chen Jiahang to the menswear section on the fourth floor where menswear occupied the entire floor.

She didn’t need to buy any more clothes since she had already bought herself several outfits recently. However, Chen Jiahang didn’t have many clothes and didn’t even have a decent suit. She thought that it was a pity that he didn’t even have decent clothes when he was already 29 years old.

Chen Jiahang didn’t understand why they were on the fourth floor where they only sold men clothing. He didn’t need to buy any for himself.

“Yan Yan, let’s head downstairs,” his lips moved as he mouthed these words soundlessly. He remembered that the dress she liked was on the third floor.

He Xiyan dragged him into a branded menswear store. This store sold suits, s.h.i.+rts, belts, and so on.

“Could you please let us have a look at this suit? Thanks,” she said to a shop a.s.sistant who stared at them coldly as she pointed at the suit that the mannequin wore.

The shop a.s.sistant glanced at this couple. He wouldn’t comment on the woman but the man’s outfit clearly showed how poor he was. The T-s.h.i.+rt looked like a s.h.i.+rt that he could get at a stall in the market for $39, his pants had been washed until the color had been scrubbed off, while his shoes didn’t look like they were more than $100.

The cheapest suit in their store would cost more than $3,000 if he included the discounted suits, so he wondered if they could even afford to shop here.

“Miss, are you sure you want to look at this outfit?” the shop a.s.sistant said coldly. He also had several items that were reduced to clear and these items would only cost several hundred dollars. She guessed that this couple could only afford to purchase the items that had been reduced to clear.

He Xiyan saw the contempt in the shop a.s.sistant’s eyes.

They lived in a practical world where even a shop a.s.sistant would look down on them if they were poor.

“Take it down and let him try it on,” He Xiyan said as she glanced at the shop a.s.sistant coldly, her displeasure written all over her eyes.

The shop a.s.sistant had no choice but to take the suit off the mannequin and handed it to Chen Jiahang.

Chen Jiahang took one look at the price tag and quickly returned the suit to the shop a.s.sistant as though he had been burnt.

Then, he shook his head at the shop a.s.sistant.

He didn’t need such fancy suits. It was way too expensive. He could buy expensive clothes for Yan Yan but he didn’t need them since he was doing hard labor. There wouldn’t be an occasion to wear this suit even if he purchased it.

The shop a.s.sistant smirked contemptuously.

They were unmistakably poor and just as she expected, they didn’t dare try the outfit on after looking at the price tag.

“Why don’t you head right inside the store and browse through our clearance rack? You might find something suitable for him.”
