Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 234 - Luxury Store

Chapter 234 -234 Luxury Store

The fashionable boutique owner, after seeing their business card, smiled and led them into the back room.

At this time, there were no other customers. After all, not many people could afford such items. Plus, it was a workday, so there were even fewer people around.

Entering a room on the side, it was just a regular bedroom, filled with movable racks of clothes, all big brands, some new and some used.

The stylish boutique owner said to them, “The new ones, with the tags still on, are more expensive, the old ones are cheaper, it all depends on how new or old they are. Take a look, and if you see something you like, I can give you a discount.”

Gu Pan and her friends agreed, and the three girls looked around without saying much, because none of them were really into luxury goods before.

Gu Pan didn’t have much money when she first started the business with Lu Ruisheng. Later, when they had a steady income, between buying a house and planning a wedding, without the help of the older generation, they didn’t have enough money to buy whatever they wanted.

Yang Jia came from a salaried family background, so she wasn’t much in contact with these things; moreover, she was extremely introverted and could stay indoors for a month without going out, having absolutely no interest in these luxury items.

Fang Lanlan’s family used to be quite well off, and she had gone to luxury stores with her mother before. But after her mother passed away, she hadn’t gone again. Plus, from a young age, she was more interested in the military pursuits of her soldier father.

Although Gu Pan wasn’t very enthusiastic about these things, now that she had the time and money, and the contribution points would go to waste if not used, she picked out three bags, all new, asked for the price, and then bought them straight away.

Seeing how generous Gu Pan was, the fashionable boutique owner quickly introduced her to more clothes, claiming they were new arrivals that hadn’t even been put out yet, all new and with tags still attached.

After looking, Gu Pan thought they were indeed quite nice and asked Yang Jia and Fang Lanlan if they liked any.

Both had accepted a bag and said there was no need to buy clothes, as it wouldn’t suit them—one always stayed at home and hardly went out, to the point the Yang Family even wanted Gu Pan to make a set of loungewear for her.

The other, who practiced martial arts daily, honestly found these clothes impractical, suggesting Gu Pan should just shop for herself.

Gu Pan didn’t stand on ceremony and bought two jackets for herself, deciding to skip the dresses as she preferred clothing that was more convenient for fighting.

After they made their purchases, the boutique owner happily wrapped everything up and, after receiving the money, beamed, “Come back anytime, we get new stock every ten days. If something good comes in, I’ll hold it for you.”

Gu Pan didn’t refuse, as her space was already full of clothes. If she visited regularly to buy these under-the-table goods, she wouldn’t raise any suspicions when she took out any clothes from her Space.

The boutique owner walked them all the way to the corridor.

Just as Gu Pan and her friends had stepped out of the door, they came face to face with Song Xiner, who was about to enter.

Seeing Gu Pan and her two friends laughing and talking, Song Xiner felt especially uncomfortable. She hated the sound of others laughing openly—it was like a needle piercing her chest, reminding her that others could be happy, but not her.

Ever since she overheard the conversation between Song Xiner and Song Maner, Gu Pan didn’t want to have any more to do with her, to avoid provoking her into doing something extreme. After all, it was obvious that there were issues with her mental health, so she took her friends aside, making way for Song Xiner.

However, Song Xiner, seeing Gu Pan’s completely indifferent attitude towards her, felt uncomfortable. Why could she be so sunny? Her face was always filled with smiles.

She blocked Gu Pan’s path, “Do you think you’re really great? You’re just lucky, that’s all.”

Gu Pan just wanted to leave quickly, “Yeah, you’re right.” Then she pulled her friend to bypass her and leave.

But Song Xiner wouldn’t budge, “What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me? What right do you have to do so? Are you so happy just to infuriate me on purpose? Why are you so insidious?”

Gu Pan really felt helpless, “I don’t want to argue with you, please step aside.”

Song Xiner showed no intention of moving aside, “Why do you get to provoke me like this? Why do you think you can just leave?”

It was then that Yang Jia couldn’t hold back, “No, we didn’t even say anything to you, how is our laughing directed at you? We are just happy about our purchases, we didn’t even know you were here, why are you making such a scene?”

Song Xiner’s eyes reddened, “You have friends, you have money, you have never encountered obstacles, what do you know?”

Gu Pan took a deep breath, “No one has it easy in the apocalypse, we all have our unspeakable pain. Every smile hides a scar, let’s not tear at them. This is the last time I’ll speak to you kindly, if you still intentionally look for trouble, I won’t hesitate to get physical.”

Song Xiner fell silent at Gu Pan’s words, it took her a long time to look at Gu Pan, “But everyone’s pain is different, the pain I feel is incomprehensible to others.”

“The young burying the old, family members going insane, dying of hunger, resorting to eating one’s children, watching loved ones die right in front of yourself… what haven’t we seen? Although the pain differs, which one doesn’t hurt?” As Gu Pan spoke, she recalled Lu Ruisheng dying in front of her in a past life.

And so did Yang Jia think of her father and elder brother.

Fang Lanlan also thought of her mother, and the tornado, the moment she found her father, watching him not knowing if he was unconscious or dead, she even dared not check his breath.

But Song Xiner was stuck in her own narrow view, unable to come out, “No one’s pain can compare to mine, none of you understand, ‘Don’t preach goodness to others if you haven’t suffered their plight’ do you understand?”

Gu Pan nodded, “I’m not trying to persuade you to be kind, I just want to tell you, you’ve been through the storm, you may choose not to shelter others, but you shouldn’t tear another’s umbrella either. Whoever wronged you, if you’ve got the guts, go take revenge on them, instead of indiscriminately passing your suffering onto someone else. I don’t owe you anything, neither do they, so I’m warning you seriously, if you cause trouble again, every time I see you, I’ll take you down, now scram.”

Indeed, no matter how pitiful Song Xiner was, that was no excuse for her to bully the innocent, Gu Pan not resorting to violence was already a testament to her kindness.

Song Xiner had been self-righteous, always believing she was the most wretched person in the world, so whatever she did, it was this unjust world that forced her hand.

But what Gu Pan had just said was irrefutable, they too were innocent.

What about her own pain, though? What should she do with her suffering? She suddenly didn’t know how to face it and ran away.

Gu Pan sighed, she couldn’t divulge someone else’s secrets to her friends, so she said to the two, “Let’s go.”

Yang Jia too sighed, “The apocalypse, it really does strange things to people.”

Fang Lanlan added, “If it were possible, who would want an apocalypse?”

“Yeah, who would want to live through an apocalypse?” Gu Pan lamented as well.

The three of them had been happy with their shopping, but now their hearts were heavy, recalling their own deep-seated pains.
