Chapter 250 Can you afford it?
Upon seeing this, the sales assistant who had initially served Fang Li hesitated for a moment, glancing timidly at the woman next to her who identified herself as the store manager, before she even opened her mouth to say something...
The female store manager, dressed in a business suit, lost her smile and her expression immediately turned cold when she looked at Fang Li again.
"Miss, this set of wedding rings is arguably the most prized possession in our store. We've had a lot of people looking at it every day since it went on sale, but I haven't actually met anyone who can afford it. You said you want to buy it... are you sure you can afford it?"
"There are some things our sales assistant may not have explained clearly to you earlier. This set of wedding rings is priced at [price] yuan. Our store does not offer discounts, credit, or installment payments. So, can you afford this price?"
"She's a down-on-her-luck woman who grew up in the mountains. She used to rely on men, and now... she probably still does. But with something this expensive, I doubt any man would be willing to pay for it for her. No wonder she can't afford it!"
The woman in black hooked her arm around Yu Wei's and sneered.
After she finished speaking, the woman in yellow chuckled softly, "That's hard to say. I heard that when they were kicked out of the industry, they spent tens of millions in breach of contract fees. If they could afford that much, they might be able to afford a mere million."
The woman in black said, "Are you kidding me? Everyone knows she was kept by an old man who was practically on his deathbed, which is why she had so much money. So much time has passed, and she doesn't seem to be living a very good life. Now that I think about it, maybe that old man is no longer alive or..."
As she spoke, the woman in black's sneer deepened. She covered her mouth, seemingly guessing, but her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.
"You mean she suddenly became so rich, and now she's coming here alone to buy wedding rings? Could it be that the old man has passed away, and she inherited the money and is keeping someone else on the side?"
"What you said is quite possible. Didn't she offend the young master of the Lu family not long ago and almost get slapped by his girlfriend on the spot? A woman like her seems unable to live without a man, and she might go to any man she can find!"
When the rumored affair with Lu Jie was mentioned, many people around gradually remembered it. In addition, although Fang Li was not famous, she had been a star before, and the internet's memory would not disappear so quickly. As people talked about it, more and more things about her were dug up.
Some people somehow dug up a video that was secretly filmed at the wrap party. In the video, she was dressed in a glamorous outfit, but the things she said were aggressive. People who didn't know the details would just think that the rumors were true, that she was indeed as arrogant, domineering, petty and jealous as the internet said.
Fang Li's retirement from the entertainment industry was a mess to begin with. The scandals she had in the industry only temporarily disappeared after her departure. Now that they're being brought up again, the misunderstandings that had been building up are only getting worse, especially now that she's recklessly getting into a fight with the Yu family's daughter!
The sales assistant became increasingly shocked as she listened.
The store manager next to her, however, became more and more confident as she listened, feeling that her decision just now was incredibly wise.
She was so glad she hadn't been blind enough to side with such a shameless and boastful person, otherwise she would have completely offended the Yu family's daughter today!
I heard that Yu Dong dotes on his daughter. With the Yu family's power in the capital, how could they, as insignificant people, possibly offend them!
Moreover, the two people next to Miss Yu were dressed in clothes that suggested they were not from ordinary families. The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more determined she became. Even if Xu Fangli could afford the set of rings, she would definitely not sell it to her.
If she can give Ms. Yu and her friends a good shopping experience this time, she might gain a few repeat customers who are not short of money, and she won't have to worry about her future sales performance!
Fang Li listened quietly as everyone finished speaking.
She could easily understand the sarcasm, disdain, and even the subtle irony within.
If it were anyone else, even the former Fang Li, she would probably have already pounced on them and started arguing and fighting without a care in the world.
but now......
Fang Li lifted her foot and slowly walked towards the crowd of onlookers.
Several people were huddled together, looking at a man's phone, which was playing a video from the wrap party.
They watched intently, occasionally whispering amongst themselves, their words harsh and offensive.
"I never expected this woman to be this kind of person!"
"Exactly, this matter seemed to have caused quite a stir online for a while, but then somehow it was overshadowed by other news. Now it seems that it was probably this woman's doing!"
"A woman who gains attention by selling her body has the nerve to jump around here. I don't know what she has to brag about. Even if she has money, I don't know where it comes from."
"Listen to what I just said, the reason she left the entertainment industry was because she got involved with a super rich old man. As for where the money came from, well, it was obviously swindled from him!"
"My God, she lied to an old man, kept a lover in secret, and even bought him wedding rings? This woman is so shameless!"
.......
"Do you know that defaming and slandering someone's reputation can result in a sentence of several years?"
The group was stunned. Before they could react, a slender, white hand suddenly reached out and snatched the phone from the man's hand.
"What are you doing?!" the man roared.
Fang Li flipped her phone over and watched the video playing for a while with a calm expression. It was indeed very high definition, and it was clear that the person who secretly filmed was on the scene, and standing very close to the parties involved.
“Give me back my phone!”
As the man reached out to snatch it, Fang Li immediately dodged and hid the phone behind her back.
Where did you get this video from?
The man's expression froze slightly, a hint of unease flashing across his face, before he hardened his tone, "What business is it of yours where I got it! The phone is mine, and how many years would you be sentenced for robbing someone else's property?"
Fang Li raised an eyebrow. "Looks like you came prepared, deliberately bringing up old matters today. What are you planning to do? Or rather, what are the people behind you planning to do?"
The man's expression changed, and he quickly glanced at Yu Wei opposite him.
As luck would have it, Fang Li still managed to catch that fleeting glance, which lasted for less than a second.
Fang Li instantly made up her mind.
She suddenly let out a soft, sarcastic laugh, then quickly put her phone into her bag.
"This is my phone, why are you taking it?!" The man's face darkened, and he immediately reached out to grab her bag.
Fang Li dodged to the side, then looked at Yu Wei opposite her, "Trying to embarrass me in public like this? Yu Wei, do you think that now that I've retired from the entertainment industry, no one will watch your fake acting anymore and you'll find it boring, or has Song Yuchen done something to upset you again, and you can't do anything about him, so you're coming to cause me trouble!"
