"Thank you, Master Demiliore."
The first thing Baobao did after they exited the store was to thank him.
She, of course, knew that Jin did not have enough money to buy her such a gift, and Wei Jia could also tell that Keith had helped her son out earlier.
"Hey!" Feifei sternly looked at her friend when she saw that she was returning the case. "It's yours now."
"But..."
"It is yours." Keith smiled at her. "Jin took a loan from me that he will be repaying over time." He smiled, and the young boy gulped at his words before he nodded his head to his girlfriend.
"Thank you, Master Demiliore. But wasn't that gift supposed to be for Feifei?" Wei Jia lightly asked, and Keith shook his head at her.
"No. It was for Eira."
Feifei immediately burst into giggles when she heard his words, and her husband smirked at her.
"Don't worry about it. I can easily acquire something similar." He seriously said, and seeing that he would not accept the pendant back, they all finally relented.
"Thank you."
"Like I said, Jin will be paying back the loan. Let's just hope that you like it, otherwise, his pains would be for nought."
Baobao smiled at his words and nodded her head.
"I like it." She told him and then brightly smiled at Jin.
The young boy was crying in his heart but kept a brave smile on his lips. And soon he just accepted his fate.
There was nothing he could do now, and he would just have to work very hard to pay back for it.
"That girl is truly poisonous." Wei Jia sighed as she watched Qin Feng and Wang Sisi from afar. "And she's an incredibly good actor."
"You did not believe me?" Feifei pouted at her words and Wei Jia apologetically smiled at her.
"Old habits die hard. I tend to judge people after getting to know them. Then again, what happened to her is tragic..."
"I am just messing with you!" Her niece giggled and then hugged her. "And yes, Sisi has not grown up at all. She's still the same as she was as a child. Petty and vengeful. Every time she meets me, she makes me dislike her even more..."
"Behave. Even if someone is a bad person, you should avoid talking ill about them..."
"Come on, you called her poisonous too just now!"
"My bad..."
"She's annoying, but I have to admit that her actions are always restrained and she never tries to outright humiliate you. It's why I have always tolerated her. As for what happened to her, yes, it is indeed tragic, but it is not our concern and it is not an excuse for her behaviour towards us."
Her aunt sighed at her words and nodded her head.
The five of them continued chatting as they walked down the street, and then they decided to take a break from their shopping at a cafe.
Wei Jia took the opportunity and dragged Baobao aside to have a talk with her in private. And they all knew it concerned Jin.
"How much is it worth?" The boy nervously asked when he was alone at the table with Keith and Feifei.
"That's a 33-carat stone, and the blue ones are extremely rare. It will be worth 50 Million Neris, at least."
As soon as Jin heard those words, his face turned pale, and Feifei unceremoniously started laughing at his plight.
"Did I just not correctly tell what his clothes are made up of?" The old man displeasedly looked at her. "Was I incorrect about anything?" He asked the Child of Destiny, who shook his head.
"You were right about everything, Old Man. And by clothes are indeed made by John," He informed him.
"But maybe you figured it out because you are already aware of John's work?" Sisi smiled.
"You want to test the old man?" Old Wu grinned. "Bring it on! And remember, I will be charging you twice my fee for being disrespectful to me."
"We shall see!" Sisi scoffed and then pretended to look at her clothes, but then she suddenly looked at Keith and smiled. "Old Wu, I will believe you if you correctly tell us everything about Master Demiliore's outfit! If you fail, you will have to make my husband's suits for free."
"What is she up to now?" Baobao lightly whispered.
"She wants to show off and comfort her heart," Feifei frowned, sending a myriad of emotions from them, including hatred for Qin Feng...
Old Wu curiously looked towards Keith, and then his eyes widened as he recalled the name Demiliore.
He, of course, knew about one of the wealthiest families in the world which had been constantly in the news for the past few years, and he smiled before walking towards the new customer.
"Old Wu welcomes you to his shop, Young Man." He said, already inspecting Keith's outfit with his eyes. "I suppose you are here for my suits?"
"Yes." Wei Jia nodded to him.
"Oh, Mrs Song! My apologies for not recognising you immediately." He respectfully said, and the lady smiled at him.
"It's okay. I need suits for my son and Master Demiliore. Would it be possible for you to get them ready by Friday afternoon?" She asked and watched the old man grin.
"Possible, of course, it is possible. As long as you are willing to pay more."
"It's fine." She nodded to him, elating the old man even more.
"Old Wu, have you figured out what Master Keith is wearing?" Sisi walked over and asked. "Master Demiliore, please help us out here. The old man is charging ridiculous prices and keeps boasting about his skills..."
"I don't boast." Old Wu cut her off. "As for the suit Master Demiliore is wearing, it is made of Vicuna..."
"Wrong." Keith cut him off, and Old Wu surprisedly looked at him and then furrowed his thick grey brows.
"Please, excuse the old man." He said as he approached them, and after Keith nodded to him, he proceeded to inspect the jacket closely.
Minutes passed, and they all watched the old man start sweating before an excited grin appeared on his face.
His body trembled as he looked at Keith's face and then back at the jacket.
"I have never in my life seen such exquisite fabric, and this method of stitching is also something I have never seen before..." He started speaking as his fingers began tracing the jacket as if he were tracing some precious treasure. "Please, Master Demiliore... tell the old man what this material is." He begged, and a stunned silence descended in the shop.
"I am afraid I can't..."
"I will do your suits for free! For all my remaining lifetime!"
And his promise stunned them even more.
Now, they were all very curious about what material Keith's suit was made up of, and Feifei even touched his jacket out of curiosity.
"It's a secret, Old Man. I really can't tell you what material this is." He refused, and the old man seemed to be on the verge of crying now.
Half an hour later, when they exited the shop after Keith and Jin gave Old Wu their measurements, Baobao burst out laughing, and Feifei too giggled as they recalled the unsightly expression that Wang Sisi wore before she left with Qin Feng.
"Behave..." Wei Jia admonished them, but soon she too giggled a little.
