Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1257: Walking Through the West City Together_3

”””

A day’s plan starts in the morning, and no matter how much you save, you can’t skimp on breakfast. At Bai Xiaosheng’s insistence, the two enjoyed a decent breakfast, generously tipped, and then walked out with ten US Dollars in hand, leaving in a luxurious convertible sports car.

The staff were left dumbfounded.

Arriving in the bustling downtown area, the two found a spot to park the car.

They tipped for parking, there went another five dollars.

”We don’t have a credit card, no cash either, so we probably won’t be able to pay the parking fee and might not get the car out. But no worries, we’ll just have someone come pick it up later. We still have five dollars left—plenty for a shopping spree.” Wei Xuelian smiled cheerfully.

Bai Xiaosheng took on a heroic tone, ”Since I’m accompanying you shopping, it’s my job to make sure you have fun. I think this five dollars is already surplus.”

”I believe you!” Wei Xuelian sweetly replied, boldly linking arms with Bai Xiaosheng.

Like a pair of affectionate lovers, they walked out of the parking lot.

On the upscale shopping street, they visited several fashion and jewelry luxury brand stores.

Thanks to Bai Xiaosheng and Wei Xuelian’s stylish attire, they received the highest level of courtesy and attention.

While trying on some clothes, during wait times, they were treated to premium coffee and snacks provided by the staff.

Though they couldn’t engage in a ”shop-till-you-drop” spree, admiring each other’s new outfit trials still proved endlessly entertaining.

At the fifth clothing store, Wei Xuelian had just stepped out of the fitting room donning a long dress when coincidentally, someone emerged from the neighboring fitting room.

It was an Asian-featured woman, about the same age as Wei Xuelian, with remarkably maintained skin—pearly white, delicate, enticingly soft, in a way only achievable by those who’ve had extraordinary care.

Beyond her flawless skin, the woman was tall, with a striking, curvaceous figure.

In short, she fully embodied the title of ”goddess”—a flawless one at that.

The two women unintentionally met each other’s gaze.

Wei Xuelian froze, and the other woman was astonished as well.

”Xuelian!”

”Yuefeng!”

Both showed gleeful surprise.

Are they acquaintances? Bai Xiaosheng wondered to himself.

”I didn’t expect to run into you here! When did you get back?”

”Just got off the plane yesterday afternoon—been fighting jet lag all day. What about you? How did you end up here? Are you... alone?”

Wei Xuelian glanced around, saw no one nearby, and couldn’t hide her surprise.

”Surrounded and doted on every day—so annoying! I snuck out for a break.” The woman murmured, glancing at Bai Xiaosheng. Initially, she paid him little attention, ”Why are you only out with a male assistant?”

Wei Xuelian chuckled, ”He’s not my assistant; he’s my boyfriend.”

”Oh.” Yuefeng nodded in understanding, but then froze in shock. Her eyes widened as she stared at Wei Xuelian, then at Bai Xiaosheng.

”He... you... boyfriend?!”

Her scream almost blasted through the ceiling.

Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward with a smile.

”Hello, I’m Xuelian’s boyfriend. My surname is Bai, full name Bai Xiaosheng.”

The woman’s mesmerizing eyes rounded even more, scanning him from head to toe as if wanting to dissect every detail about him.

Then, she turned to Wei Xuelian.

”Xuelian, you’ve changed! We swore to enjoy being beautifully single, yet you found yourself a man! You’ve abandoned your best girlfriend, the one you grew up with! I hate you.” Yuefeng sulked theatrically before casting Bai Xiaosheng a scornful glance, clearly unimpressed, ”Also, if you’d chosen someone worthy, he should at least be an Oscar-winning actor or a young, charming soul from Wall Street. But this guy... seems so ordinary.”

Bai Xiaosheng froze.

He hadn’t expected to be outright disdained by Xuelian’s best friend at their first meeting...

”Yuefeng, how could you say that? I’m not happy about it! Such sharp-tongued words—you’re still the same as ever!” Wei Xuelian shot her a glare and reassuringly comforted Bai Xiaosheng, ”Ignore her. She’s just spoiled by her family—never learned to filter her words. Don’t let it bother you.”

Bai Xiaosheng responded with a generous smile.

Yuefeng snorted coldly, ”Love seriously blinds people! Wei Xuelian, maybe I’ve misjudged you!”

She turned to Bai Xiaosheng, ”If you want to win over Xuelian, you’ll need to pass through my gates first. Honestly, I’m not sure what’s appealing about you...”

Noticing Wei Xuelian’s warning glance, Yuefeng abruptly changed her tone, ”Fine, fine, stop staring at me like that, Xuelian. I’ll drop it, happy?”

Finally, Yuefeng reluctantly extended her hand toward Bai Xiaosheng, ”Nice to meet you. We’re actually from the same family—I’m also Bai, Bai Yuefeng.”

Running into a fellow Bai overseas, even if a sharp-tongued one, was still something.

Knowing her intentions for Xuelian’s well-being, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t take offense, responding with a gentlemanly smile as he shook her hand.

Bai Yuefeng’s attitude softened. Seeing her best friend here, she promptly abandoned trying on clothes, had the staff pack up seven or eight items, and joined Wei Xuelian and Bai Xiaosheng at the register.

”I’ve only visited one store today and already ran into you two. Let’s take our time and shop together. Xuelian, didn’t you like any of the clothes? This store’s collection isn’t bad at all.” Bai Yuefeng chattered on.

As she spoke, she opened her purse and rummaged through it, suddenly frowning, ”What’s going on? I didn’t bring any cash or cards!”

Another person without cash or cards? Bai Xiaosheng froze, feeling utterly perplexed.

What kind of day was this, with seemingly everyone coordinated in leaving their money and cards behind, embarking on some ”budget-tour” adventure?

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t resist winking at Wei Xuelian.

Wei Xuelian subtly bit her lower lip to suppress her laughter.

Judging by Bai Xiaosheng’s observation, since Bai Yuefeng was Xuelian’s long-term best friend, their family probably wasn’t lacking in wealth.

So it seemed plausible she was just sneaking out like them and simply forgot to bring her money.

What a huge coincidence!

Yuefeng grumbled aloud before noticing Bai Xiaosheng, then flashed a sly grin.

”Hey, Xuelian’s guy, this is your moment to shine! Go ahead and pay for it. Just a few thousand dollars, no big deal, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng and Wei Xuelian exchanged amused glances.

Their smiles were brimming with mirth.

Bai Xiaosheng held up the five-dollar bill and grinned earnestly, ”This is all the money we have on us right now. Do you need it? Go ahead, take it!”
