The Boss Turned Out To Be A Clingy Little Puppy - Chapter 12
Chapter 12: Meeting a Mistress in A Second-hand Shop
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
My cousin is finally back, this is great news for me.
I woke up early and threw Chuyi to her. After that, I packed up my jewelry and bags and went to a second-hand shop to pawn them.
I’m no stranger to the second-hand trading shops in this city. I’ve visited a few second-hand shops in the past just to get some rare designs from a certain brand.
What was different from the past was that she was here to sell goods, so she was a little timid.
Considering that my and Chuyi’s food and clothing, everything needs money. Therefore, I could only bite the bullet and enter the second-hand store.
The boss recognized me and thought I was here to buy something, “Madam, you’re here?” She greeted me warmly.
Madam?
This form of address sounded very awkward, and I was not happy.
I nodded slightly.
There were no customers in the second-hand shop at the moment. I took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with the owner, “Boss, do you accept goods?”
“Madam, are you here to sell something?” The boss was stunned.
“Yes, I’m a little tight on money recently….” I did not hide it.
Actually, there’s nothing embarrassing about this. I know that many rich people will usually cash in some expensive luxury goods when they have cash flow problems.
“Madam, I’ll take a look at them first.” She nodded her head in understanding.
I brought a lot of things, a diamond necklace, a bracelet of the same style, earrings, two wristwatches, and a leather bag.
All of them were top brands, 80 to 90% new, so they should be able to sell well.
The boss put on a pair of gloves, turned on a professional light, and looked at it carefully.
After waiting for an hour, she turned off the lights and nodded in satisfaction.
“Madam, let’s not beat around the bush. All of your things are good things and they look good. However, you have to be clear that once these big brands come to second-hand stores, their prices will depreciate very badly.
“I understand.”
“Very good, then let’s get straight to the point.” She tapped on the calculator and ruthlessly ripped me off, “Madam, there are six items in total. The jewelry is valued at 60000 Yuan; the two wristwatches were valued at 25000 Yuan; also, I can only give you 35000 Yuan for this handbag. It’s 120000 Yuan in total, do you agree?” only 120,000?
Oh my God!
Wasn’t that too ruthless?
“Boss, I bought this handbag from your store two months ago. It’s a limited edition. I spent 98000 on it!” My heart is bleeding.
“Madam, that’s the price for pawning. We need to support our family as a shop owner.” The boss smiled brightly.
I finally understood what it meant to hide a dagger behind a smile.
“Can you add a little more?” I was struggling. I remember that set of diamond jewelry cost more than 700000 Yuan.
The boss smiled, then shook his head firmly, “Madam, this is the price we’ve evaluated. We can’t increase it anymore. Why don’t you go to other shops?”
It was probably the same for the other shops.
Forget it!
120,000 it is.
I looked at them longingly and hardened my heart, “Just be it, then!”
The boss had gotten a big bargain. She took out her phone with a smile, as if afraid that I would regret it, “Madam, I’ll transfer the money to you.”
My phone rang, and 120000 Yuan was transferred to my account.
At this moment, the clacking of high heels came from outside the door.
An unfriendly voice came from behind me, “Hey, isn’t this An Xia?”
I didn’t even have to turn my head to know that it was Guo Yayi.
This b*tch!
“An Xia!”
Guo Yayi was dressed in white and her face was covered in layers of foundation. She stood in front of me proudly.
Heh, she really was a goody-two shoe!
She was like a ghost that refused to leave!
She glanced at the counter and saw the jewelry on it. She covered her mouth and laughed, “An Xia, have you been reduced to the point of selling things?” You savage woman, you dare to laugh at me?
If it wasn’t for her, how could Chuyi and I end up like this?
Really annoying!
I didn’t bother to pay attention to her. After saying goodbye to the boss, I was about to turn around and leave when I suddenly saw her round belly, which seemed to be seven or eight months pregnant.
Suddenly, hatred welled up in my heart as I approached her,
Guo Yayi backed away in fear, “Anxia! W-what are you doing?!” “Nothing,” I sneered and whispered in her wish you an early miscarriage!”
I won’t fight her, she doesn’t deserve to be taught a lesson by me.
“You, you evil woman!” She cried out in fear, “No wonder Lang Xiaojun doesn’t dare to want you!”
I turned around and left, leaving her to jump and curse like a Shrew behind me.
Hmph, this is the first time I’ve felt so good being an evil person!
A taxi stopped beside me. I opened the door and got in, telling her my cousin’s address.
Along the way, I clutched my phone tightly. Thinking about how I and my son now have a place to stay and some money, I suddenly felt that life had become better.
As soon as she entered my cousin’s house, I heard the sizzling sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.
“Mom, look at the gift aunty bought me.” Chuyi ran over.
It was a police car that was flashing its lights. It was making a lot of noise, and it looked very imposing.
“It’s so beautiful!” I praised him sincerely.
We don’t know when, but my cousin came in front of us and said seriously, “Xiaxia, do you know why I’m sending a police car to Chuyi?”
There was a meaning to giving a toy car?
I was confused and shook my head in confusion.
“The police car is to remind you that in the future, you have to learn to distinguish human nature and keep the alarm going.” She said it in a methodical manner, like an old pedant.
What a joke!
I facepalmed and sighed, “Cousin, you’re really a psychologist. No matter what, you can always come up with life philosophy.”
After dinner, I bade my cousin farewell and brought Chuyi to our new home.
Although this old house was small, it did not lack any furniture, household appliances, kitchenware, and ladles. I went into the kitchen, washed the dishes, and threw them into the disinfection cabinet.
Well, it still lacked some warm decorations.
I opened my phone and started shopping. I bought a lot of things, such as sofa cushions, tablecloths, teddy bears, wind chimes, and so on.
Chuyi was probably tired, as she was sleeping soundly on the sofa. I found a blanket and covered him.
“Thump, thump, thump.” Someone was climbing the stairs.
The only bad thing about the old buildings was that they had poor sound insulation.
Sleepiness hit me, so I stood up and yawned. Just as I was about to enter the bedroom to take a nap, I suddenly heard the sound of the door lock button. Di di di di di di
From the voice, it should be the opposite neighbor’s.
At that time, when they were looking at the house, the agent, Sister Wu, had said that there was no one living opposite. Could it be that it had been rented out so quickly?
I curiously peeked through the peephole.
Outside the door, the man reached out and opened the door. He seemed to be very tall and straight, and then he closed the door with a “clang.”
It turned out to be a male neighbor.
Eh? Not bad! If his face also passed the test..
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of the electric police car from the corner of my eye. My cousin’s words rang in my ears, “…Learn to distinguish human nature…”
A bucket of cold water was poured on her. Uh uh uh, cousin really shouldn’t have become a counselor. She could simply set up a stall to read fortunes..
