Chapter 17 A Bet
843 Words
"Shall we make a bet?"
Shirley gently blew her new nails and looked at Lily scornfully.
But this woman was bold and stupid. She said , "what do you want to gamble with?"
"Ten million dollars. If I lose, ten million dollars will be yours.
If I win, you have to not only crawl out of here like a dog, but also bark and eat s**t! "
At the beginning, Shirley's voice was calm, but at the end, her voice turned sharply and she said aggressively.
She changed her tone too quickly, which frightened Lily. She thought about it a little bit.
In fact, it's not bad, is it? If she wins , she could get 10 million dollars.
If she gets so much money, she doesn't need to marry the old man.
But if she loses...
Lily hesitated when she thought of the consequences of her failure. But she still gritted her teeth. She told herself in her heart:
"If I lose I will just be embarrassed. Is that more important than 10 million dollars?
Lily's expression was extremely rich, which was funny in the eyes of Shirley.
"Bed on what?"
Lily looked at Shirley with uneasiness and yearning in her eyes.
"As you know, the first wife of the old man you are going to marry died in his early years and his son died in his middle years."
Shirley continued under Lily’s puzzled gaze:
"A man, when he encounters some setbacks, he will inevitably turn grief into strength. I heard that he has been looking for women in recent years.
He paid high prices to invite them in, and then paid high prices to send them into the hospital. "
Lily was surprised at this.
Looking at Lily's expression, Shirley chuckled and said with ease:
"After all, you are going to marry that man. Although he had some bad hobbies before, as his future wife, you have to learn how to run a family. Let's see who can buy the best products with the least money! "
When Lily heard this, she was very happy. Although her family was not a first-class enterprise.
But the main business was in wholesale market. She was extremely good at it.
She knew the cost of everything at a glance. She was the best at choosing good and cheap goods.
After all, she was not as rich as Shirley. She was so confidence in it.
"Good! I’m in!"
Lily looked at Shirley, and her eyes were full of shrewd light.
"Let's start the game then?"
Shirley looked at her and seemed like she had been waiting for a long time.
"OK!"
Lily nodded heavily.
Following the crowd, they first came to the jewelry area.
Lily was more serious than she was picking up a necklace.
The necklace was made of pure gold, with beautiful roses carved on it and a visible solid in the middle.
The weight of the necklace was at least twice as much as that of other necklaces, but it was cheaper than other necklaces because of its poor workmanship.
"I choose this! It was clear that its gold content is the highest, but the price is lowered because of the poor appearance. The cost performance is definitely the highest!
And its price is the lowest among all the jewelry. "
Lily held up the necklace, surrounded by people. Several discerning people wanted to have a look. They all said that it was cost-effective and found good goods.
"The gold necklace that Miss Johnson chose is 100 grams, which is much heavier than other necklaces.
It looks a little ugly. If it's recast and forged, it must be a high cost-effective product. "
"Yes, this gold necklace weighs as much as the other five!"
With that, a middle-aged businessman picked up the necklace next to him to make a comparison and nodded with satisfaction.
Lily was a little complacent about being praised by everyone. She provocatively raised her middle finger to Shirley.
Then, she chose some clothes, bracelets, jade and other items.
Lily went to the counter and showed Shirley her treasures in a high profile.
Shirley picked her eyebrow, looking at the thing that Lily took, and smiled : "Done?"
"Yes!"
Lily nodded fiercely. She had chosen carefully for so long. Surely there was no one with higher cost performance than these!
"It's my turn."
Shirley didn't go far. She picked a fur coat on the hanger nearby.
She took the white and gray fur and went to the shopkeeper: "Will you sell it for 20,000 dollars?"
The white gray fur is a good material.
Although the fur is very expensive, not many people can afford it. It is usually used as decoration.
“?”
Everyone looked at Shirley bargaining doubtfully. Lily was also confused.
The fur was not as warm as a down jacket. It's troublesome to take care of, and it's very profitable. Its price is 20,000 or 30,000 dollars , but it's not worth the price.
Why did Shirley choose this flashy thing in the beginning?
