Pregnant After Healing the Alpha-Chapter 264 - 254: Swallowing the Bag Performance
Chapter 264: Chapter 254: Swallowing the Bag Performance
She nodded and bowed as she poured tea for Qiao Mengtong and asked her to sit on the sofa in the reception area.
Recently, Qiao Mengtong had made a tidy sum of money because of Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei and had bought several bags in this store in one go.
Seeing her spend so freely, the sales associate immediately memorized Qiao Mengtong’s voice and face.
Lin Xiuxiang, seeing the sales associate’s starkly different attitude, felt somewhat angry. She didn’t want to spend another second in the store and asked,
“Not going to continue with the packing? Qiao Qiao and I are in a hurry.”
After hearing Qiao Mengtong’s words, the sales associate was hardly willing to pack for them anymore and started to mock,
...
“Miss Qiao just said you can’t afford it anymore, and I should still package for you? Wouldn’t that be a waste of my time?” Qiao Mengtong gave Qiao Jing a provocative look and arrogantly lifted her chin while sipping the tea the sales associate had poured for her.
Her entire face seemed to be emblazoned with the words, “This is the difference between you and me.”
Lin Xiuxiang, watching Qiao Mengtong’s smug appearance, felt somewhat unhappy and muttered quietly,
“What’s so great about that, it’s just being a D-list celebrity…”
Qiao Mengtong also heard this remark and held a grudge in her heart. Seeing the bags that had not been packed on the counter, she pointed to them and said,
“I fancy that bag, pack it up for me. She doesn’t have the money to buy such an expensive bag.”
The sales associate quickly agreed several times and began to curry favor with Qiao Mengtong energetically.
“Miss Qiao really has good taste. The globally limited edition bag will complement your noble temperament, it’s completely an accessory item!”
Qiao Mengtong relished the sales associate’s praise and nodded in satisfaction, giving Qiao Jing a glare.
The sales associate was sharp-eyed and immediately noticed the animosity between Qiao Mengtong and Qiao Jing, choosing to say some unpleasant things.
“Unlike some people, dressed up like a country bumpkin, wanting to buy such an expensive bag! I’m not wasting my time packaging for you.”
Qiao Mengtong was increasingly pleased with the sales associate’s words and offered a tip,
“If there’s a chance in the future, I might make you a manager.”
This store was actually a property of the Zhan Family and was somehow connected to Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei. If they put in a word, it was indeed possible for the sales associate to get a promotion.
After hearing this, the sales associate was overjoyed and started to pack the items at the counter.
Qiao Mengtong finished the tea the sales associate poured, placed it aside, and looked towards Qiao Jing.
“You’re not Mrs. Zhan anymore, so why come to a store like this to buy bags? Can you afford it?”
“You just touched it, right? If it’s scratched, your entire worth couldn’t cover the damages! Spending your days in a shabby noodle shop, and now you show up here to shop?”
Qiao Jing, with an indifferent expression, listened to all Qiao Mengtong had to say before she calmly spoke,
“What if I can afford it?”
Qiao Mengtong let out a cold laugh, sure it was the biggest joke she had heard all year, and defiantly said,
“If you can afford it, I’ll perform an act of swallowing the bag on the spot, shall I? Swallow that bag whole.”
She was so certain Qiao Jing couldn’t afford it; otherwise, she would never have dared to say such a thing.
Lin Xiuxiang just waited to enjoy the show, determined to capture the moment Qiao Mengtong performed the act of swallowing the bag!
Her Qiao Qiao couldn’t possibly not afford a bag,
She detested people who looked down on others like that.
She looked at Qiao Mengtong with some pity; swallowing a bag would definitely cause indigestion.
But Qiao Mengtong deserved it for speaking of Qiao Qiao in such a way.
“What are you looking at? A country bumpkin dares to call me a D-list celebrity?”
Qiao Mengtong snapped at Lin Xiuxiang.
Qiao Jing walked up to the sales associate and placed her black card on the table.
“Pack that bag for me, I was here first.”
When the sales associate saw the black card, her eyes almost popped out of her head, and she looked up at Qiao Jing in disbelief.
It was a black card!!
How could she possibly have a black card? Dressed so shabbily from head to toe, there’s definitely no money on this card.
“Do people today just love to show off without the means? Birds of a feather flock together; I bet your friend is also the type who loves to put on airs,”
Qiao Jing couldn’t listen anymore as the other party spouted unpleasant words over and over.
If the sales associate had just talked about her, she could bear it, but that last remark had also mocked her friend.
Lin Xiuxiang was like a sister to her, and she absolutely wouldn’t tolerate anyone speaking about Lin Xiuxiang in such a manner.
Qiao Jing’s voice was devoid of emotion, her icy tone resonating in the store.
“Say one more word, and you can forget about keeping your job. A sales associate like you tarnishes the store’s reputation.”
The sales associate scoffed, “I have to see if your card can even go through! And here you are daring to talk about firing me, do you think you are—”
She hadn’t finished speaking when the card machine beeped. The black card had actually succeeded in making the payment!!
The sales associate’s mouth hung open wide enough to nearly fit an egg.
Qiao Mengtong’s face immediately turned extremely sour, accompanied by shock on her face, she stood up straight.
Where did Qiao Jing get so much money? Hadn’t she left the Zhan Family? Could it be that the money the Zhan Family gave her still hadn’t run out?
Just the other day, she had exhausted herself, swallowed her pride, and played along with Zhan Nan and Zhan Bei for so long, suffering bruises all over her body, only to get those hundreds of thousands.
So, just how easily could Qiao Jing come up with that sum of money? Just how much money had the Zhan Family given her originally?
The sales associate thought she had misheard, but when she checked again, she confirmed that the payment had indeed gone through!
While this was happening, Qiao Mengtong tried to sneak away with her tail between her legs, but Lin Xiuxiang called out to her.
“Qiao Mengtong, didn’t you say you wanted to demonstrate eating the bag?”
Hearing these words, Qiao Mengtong stiffened, not turning her head.
How did Lin Xiuxiang still remember what she had said earlier? How could she know that Qiao Jing actually had the money to buy that bag?!
Her feet seemed to sprout wheels of wind and fire, and she sprinted away.
Qiao Jing and Lin Xiuxiang exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
At that moment, a familiar voice came from the entrance.
“Xiangxiang, what are you doing here?”
When Tang Yan saw their figures from outside, he thought he had seen wrong, but upon hearing their voices, he walked in.
Lin Xiuxiang was also surprised and went over to Tang Yan.
“I was about to ask you the same thing, are you here to buy a bag?”

“This is President Zhan’s store, I make a point of coming here once a month to check it out,”
Tang Yan explained.
Only then did Lin Xiuxiang show an expression of sudden realization.
The sales associate was startled at Tang Yan’s appearance.
Seeing how familiar Qiao Jing and her group were with Tang Yan, the sales associate’s face turned pale with fear and she immediately began to apologize to the two women.
“I’m so sorry, ladies, I was wrong earlier. Please don’t hold it against me, I will never make such a mistake again. Please forgive me!”
Tang Yan, discerning a hint from the associate’s words, asked the two women,
“What’s going on? Has something happened?”
Lin Xiuxiang was not the type to tattle, and she casually brushed it off.
“It’s nothing serious, just that Qiao Qiao and I came to buy a bag to give to the dean.”
“Yeah, it’s nothing,”
Qiao Jing agreed, taking the bag the sales associate had wrapped.
Seeing that both women said as much, Tang Yan didn’t want to embarrass them and after escorting them out of the store, he made a phone call.
