Chapter 74: Dissolving the Heavenly Cleaver Sha (Part Two)

Soon, they arrived at Dongda Plaza, a large-scale complex integrating leisure, entertainment, dining, and shopping, which housed many flagship stores of famous clothing brands.

Li Chengfeng was still limping, with Wang Bin supporting him by the arm, following closely behind Chu Qingyan from a distance.

After strolling around Dongda Plaza for a while, Chu Qingyan stopped at the entrance of a branded clothing store, turned around, and called out to the two men with an impatient tone.

"Alright, we'll buy from this shop! Hurry up and go inside to pick out your clothes. Once we're done, we're heading back!"

Not daring to delay for even a second, Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin quickly quickened their pace and prepared to enter the store to select clothes. As soon as they reached the doorway, they startled a female clerk who was playing on her smartphone. She stared at them with a guarded and suspicious gaze and asked,

"You—what do you want?"

"We'd like to buy a couple of outfits!"

The other clerks in the store gathered around, looking at the two men with guarded expressions. The clothing sold in their shop was all top-tier designer brands; judging by the two men's attire and appearance, they certainly didn't look like wealthy people. Coming to such a high-consumption establishment to buy clothes was nothing short of a joke.

Wang Bin felt extremely awkward under their scrutiny, but Chu Qingyan wore a faint smile. She simply wanted to watch the two men squirm in embarrassment, though to her disappointment, Li Chengfeng's expression remained completely calm.

Chu Qingyan said to the female clerks,

"Let them go inside and pick out their clothes. I'll pay the bill!"

The clerks turned their attention to Chu Qingyan. From her attire and demeanor, they could immediately tell she was a young lady from a wealthy family. Their vigilance instantly vanished, and they allowed the two men into the store.

Upon stepping inside and looking at the price tags on the clothes, the two men finally realized what a big city was truly like. Even the cheapest garment cost 1999 yuan, and that was after the discount.

Although Li Chengfeng wasn't short on money nowadays, if he had to shell out his own cash for such exorbitantly expensive clothes, he would still feel a pang of reluctance. Fortunately, Chu Qingyan was footing the bill.

Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin quickly selected their clothes and tried them on, finding that they fit quite well.

Each of them chose two outfits, priced at around 3,000 yuan each, totaling over 20,000 yuan.

As the old saying goes, fine feathers make fine birds. That statement was undeniably true. Once the two men changed into the new clothes, they instantly transformed from awkward bumpkins into sharp, energetic young men.

Both of them wore satisfied smiles as they turned to look at Chu Qingyan standing nearby.

"Miss Chu, please settle the bill!"

Looking at the two men who had been given a complete makeover, a flicker of displeasure crossed Chu Qingyan's eyes. This wasn't the outcome she wanted; dressed like this, they no longer looked like country bumpkins at all.

The cashier flashed a professional and polite smile, saying,

"Miss, the total comes to 27,800 yuan."

"Wait!"

Instead of paying, Chu Qingyan walked over to Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin, circled them once, and felt even more annoyed the longer she looked. These two bastards actually managed to pick clothes that fit them so well.

Looking thoroughly displeased, she turned to the nearby clerk and asked offhandedly,

"Do you have any tight-fitting shirts and stretchy leggings for sale here?"

"Yes, we do, but the material for those items is quite special, so they are more expensive."

"Price is not an issue. Bring me a few sets and let them try them on!"

Chu Qingyan said with utter nonchalance. To her, money was merely a number; her family had everything, but they certainly never lacked cash.

Wang Bin was filled with confusion, having no idea what Chu Qingyan was up to. Li Chengfeng let out a sigh, having already guessed her intentions. This vicious woman really knew how to torture people.

Before long, two clerks came walking over with several tight-fitting tops and stretchy leggings in their arms.

When Wang Bin saw these tight tops and leggings, he was instantly dumbfounded. The clothes were either garish and brightly colored or stark black and white.

Chu Qingyan picked up two brightly colored sets, tossed them directly onto Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin, and commanded in an authoritative tone,

"Go on, change into these!"

Holding the garish, skin-tight garments, Li Chengfeng felt utterly speechless. This woman was truly adept at humiliating people. He said with an expression of discontent,

"Miss Chu, aren't you going too far?"

"So I am going too far. What about it? Got a problem with that?"

Seeing that Li Chengfeng was holding the clothes and refusing to move, Chu Qingyan stared pointedly at his legs and threatened,

"How come your leg isn't limping anymore?"

Hearing this, Wang Bin knew things were taking a turn for the worse. He hurriedly pulled at Li Chengfeng and advised in a low voice,

"Chengfeng, we can't beat her anyway. Forget it. A wise man knows when to yield. Let's just change into them!"

Utterly helpless and mindful of the woman's formidable fighting prowess, Li Chengfeng had no choice but to walk into the fitting room and put on the clothes.

After a long while, the two men finally emerged from the fitting rooms.

The female clerks looked at the pair standing before them, clad head-to-toe in loud, multicolored, skin-tight outfits, with Wang Bin's protruding belly looking especially prominent.

The clerks couldn't help bursting into laughter, while Chu Qingyan looked thoroughly pleased and immediately declared,

"Splendid! Get them two more sets."

"Right away!"

Unable to contain their amusement, the clerks giggled as they packed up the clothes.

The cashier smiled brightly and said,

"Miss, after the discount, the total comes to 129,000 yuan."

"Alright, charge the card!"

Hearing the female clerks' suppressed laughter, Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin felt an intense wave of shame, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. This woman was truly a master of humiliation.

The two men wanted to retrieve their old oversized shorts and tacky T-shirts, but Chu Qingyan stopped them, insisting that they wear the tight tops and stretchy leggings all the way back.

Li Chengfeng harbored a silent, bitter vow in his heart: *Just you wait, you wicked woman. I'll settle this score with you sooner or later.*

This was even more embarrassing than wearing baggy shorts and tacky T-shirts. Walking down the street, they attracted countless mocking and bizarre glances, as if people were looking at a pair of strange monsters.

Many people even sneaked out their phones to take pictures of them.

Before long, they arrived back at the Xigri La Hotel. Hu Tiangang had already left, leaving only Chu Yunhong behind.

When Chu Yunhong saw the outfits the two men were wearing, a look of profound shock and disbelief crossed his face. Garish, multicolored, skin-tight shirts and stretchy leggings—if they had just added exploding afro wigs, they would look like stereotypical non-mainstream punks.

Chu Yunhong desperately bit the inside of his cheek to keep from laughing out loud. Beside him, Chu Qingyan said with an expression of utter disgust,

"Dad, they picked out these clothes all by themselves. I honestly don't understand how anyone could possibly like such things. Walking next to them makes me feel so mortified!"

"Ah, young people... it's quite normal for them to enjoy this kind of style!"

Chu Yunhong shamelessly put on a straight face to make excuses for Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin.

Li Chengfeng and Wang Bin were fit to be tied; this woman was truly beyond shameless.

With an awkward expression, Chu Yunhong said,

"Qingyan, I'm feeling a bit tired. Help me back to my room to rest."

"Okay!"

Putting on an obedient act, Chu Qingyan hurried to Chu Yunhong's side and supported him as they walked out. The moment the door clicked shut behind them, a burst of hearty, uncontrolled laughter from the elderly man echoed down the entire hallway.

"I must be getting old. Modern youth and their styles are truly beyond comprehension!"
