Chapter 709 (1/2)

“You’d better not touch it. This is food! You have no idea how many bacteria you have on your hands. If you touch it, the customer may return the cake. Then, I’m afraid you don’t have enough money to pay us.” Thinking Ji Nuan was a timid pushover, the shop assistant rolled her eyes at her and pushed the cart with the cake aside.

Seeing the shop assistant so careful about the cake, Ji Nuan didn’t know she was despising her. She asked her, “Is this expensive?”

The shop assistant turned around to look at her up and down with measuring eyes. In her eyes, this woman was dressed well and fashionably but looked dumb, so she immediately taunted.

“Of course! It took us three days and nights to make this cake. Even the cake foundation is not cheap, let alone the exquisitely-made fondant decorations and cygnets. The whole cake cost one hundred and fifty-eight thousand yuan. You can only look at it but will never be able to afford it.”

Ji Nuan had no concept of money now. Hearing the number, she just nodded innocently. “OK…”

In her mind, a cake should be delicious stuff, but how much was one hundred and fifty-eight thousand yuan? That wasn’t supposed to be a lot of money, was it?

That was because Shenshen had taken her to many restaurants and hotels. Although she didn’t see Shenshen swipe his credit card like others, she did notice the prices of those restaurants and hotels were of six or seven-digit yuan.

But now this woman proudly told her this cake cost one hundred and fifty-eight thousand yuan, which was supposed to be a lot of money?

“Shocked?” Seeing Ji Nuan seemed to be at a loss, the shop assistant triumphantly snorted. “If you want to eat a cake, go to that cake shop diagonally across the street, where most cakes only cost several thousand or hundred yuan. The cakes sold in our shop are all pre-ordered high-grade fondant cakes. A random cake here will cost six-digit. You can’t afford them! Take a look and leave here! But don’t touch them! These cakes are very expensive. You will bring us big trouble if you ruin them!”

Ji Nuan nodded obediently and didn’t speak. She thought she’d better not bring troubles to Shenshen since the cakes were really expensive, so she turned and was about to leave.

Seeing her about to leave, the shop assistant snorted again and went about her business, ignoring her.

However, when Ji Nuan was about to go out of the door, a smartly dressed woman came in. She carried a bag and rushed in so quickly that she bumped into Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan couldn’t bear this kind of impact and her head began to ache. She could almost hardly stand and put her hand to a table to support her body. When she was about to look back, she heard the woman yelled at her.

“Are you blind? Why were you standing in my way?!”

Ji Nuan looked back at the woman with a jerk, and the latter paused and stared at Ji Nuan in surprise for quite a while.

“Ji Nuan?”
