I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1158: A coat costs 62,000

A black Toyota Alphard turned into a narrow road, lined with old-style Shikumen houses on both sides. Passing through the alleyway, you could see clothes of various colors hanging above the alley, like flags of all nations. This is the everyday life of Shanghai.

"Don't go in, it's hard to turn around in the alley." Huo Xinyuan directed the driver to stop the car on the side of the road.

As soon as the car stopped, Wu Jiabao came out of the alley.

She was wearing a light green, old-fashioned down jacket and white sneakers. Her hairstyle was still the short, ear-length hair typical of military uniforms, making her look very neat and tidy.

Huo Xinyuan got out of the car and waved to her: "Jiabao!"

Wu Jiabao jogged across the road, opened the car door, and got in.

After sitting down, she greeted Zeng Xia first: "Hello, Auntie! I'm so sorry to trouble you again!"

"What trouble? It's no trouble at all. You and Liu Jin are comrades-in-arms, and you get along like sisters. I like you more than anything!" Zeng Xia said with a smile, then instructed the driver, "Let's go to the IFC."

After the car started moving, Zeng Xia casually asked, "Jiabao, how is your family?"

Wu Jiabao paused for a moment, but then replied, "Everything's fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie!"

Zeng Xia didn't sense anything and just nodded.

However, Huo Xinyuan sensed something was amiss. After all, the two had spent two years together, and she knew Wu Jiabao quite well.

However, she didn't ask Wu Jiabao for the specific reason, since there was plenty of time and she would find out eventually.

The weather in Shanghai in December was already a bit cold, but inside the IFC, it was warm as spring. Zeng Xia was strolling around inside with Huo Xinyuan and Wu Jiabao.

Although Christmas is still more than twenty days away, a huge Christmas tree has already been erected in the atrium on the first floor, with bright decorative balls sparkling under the lights.

Some fashionable young people are posing for photos in various ways in front of the tree.

Zeng Xia shook her head: "These young people nowadays, they really enjoy these pidgin festivals!"

"You wouldn't understand, this is called atmosphere." Huo Xinyuan was very unwilling to listen to her mother's old-fashioned talk.

Zeng Xia didn't argue with her daughter and led the two of them upstairs. This time, she had already decided to buy her daughter a few decent coats. None of the clothes in the child's wardrobe were fit anymore. She also wanted to buy two coats for Jia Bao. "Look at what she's wearing," she said. "Girls should be dressed up nicely."

"Garbo! Judging from your figure, you probably usually wear a size M, right?"

Wu Jiabao quickly replied, "Auntie, don't worry about me, I'll just accompany you for a stroll."

Unfortunately, she forgot that Huo Xinyuan, who had been inseparable from her for two years, was by her side: "That's right, size M fits her perfectly."

Zeng Xia nodded: "Then I understand."

The three entered the Max Mara boutique, and the sharp-eyed sales assistant immediately recognized that Zeng Xia was wearing the latest cashmere coat from Buñero Cuccinelli.

It's worth noting that these coats are all made by hand at the Solomeo Castle in Italy, and each one is exceptionally high-quality.

The sales assistant immediately and warmly welcomed the three inside; these were definitely big customers.

Zeng Xia skillfully rummaged through the various styles of coats on the clothes rack, picking out two from them: one light gray and the other light blue. The styles were simple and elegant, without excessive decoration, and the cuts were also very good.

She picked up one item in each hand and casually compared them to the two girls.

"You two try them on." She handed the light gray coat to Wu Jiabao and the light blue one to her daughter, Huo Xinyuan.

After taking it, Huo Xinyuan did not go to the fitting room immediately, but turned to look at Wu Jiabao.

Wu Jiabao had no intention of taking the coat from Zeng Xia, and waved her hand, saying, "Auntie, I won't try it on. I'll look at other ones later."

Zeng Xia pretended to have a serious face: "How could that be? You can't even try it on? Listen to me, put it on and let Auntie see."

Huo Xinyuan, who was standing to the side, took the coat directly from her mother's hands and stuffed it into Wu Jiabao's arms: "Why are you dawdling now? Hurry up and put it on so my mother can see it."

After saying that, he pushed her into the fitting room, and she squeezed in after him. Fortunately, the fitting room was big enough to accommodate even a few more people.

The two quickly changed into their coats and came out of the fitting room. Huo Xinyuan even turned around in front of her mother and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"

Wu Jiabao didn't dare to breathe loudly. When she was changing clothes, she secretly glanced at the price tag when Huo Xinyuan wasn't paying attention. This cashmere coat actually cost 62,000 yuan, which almost made her faint from shock.

"Looks good, not bad at all!" Zeng Xia nodded in satisfaction as she looked at her daughter, who was dressed in a way that fit her perfectly.

Then she looked at Wu Jiabao behind Huo Xinyuan: "Jiabao, come over here and let Auntie take a look."

Wu Jiabao then cautiously took a step forward.

Turn around.

Wu Jiabao turned around.

Zeng Xia boasted about her good taste: "It's great. I knew this would suit Jia Bao very well."

The sales assistant also offered timely praise: "This lady has excellent taste. She has chosen the best styles from our Max Mara brand. Moreover, both ladies have excellent figures. These two coats are practically tailor-made for them."

Zeng Xia was extremely satisfied and waved her hand, "I'll take both of them! Wrap them up!"

Upon hearing this, the sales assistant was overjoyed, her eyes practically popping out of their sockets: "Yes, ma'am!"

Wu Jiabao quickly waved her hand and refused, "Auntie, you can buy it for Xinyuan. I can't accept it. This dress is too expensive."

When shopping queen Zeng Xia heard Wu Jiabao say the clothes were expensive, she was somewhat dismissive: "Expensive? You silly girl, don't worry about the price. The most important thing about clothes is that they look good on you. Now that you're wearing them, they're yours."

After saying that, she casually took out a rose-red card from her bag and handed it to the sales assistant, not giving Wu Jiabao a chance to refuse.

Wu Jiabao grew anxious and said to Huo Xinyuan, "Xinyuan, tell your mother I can't accept this dress, it costs over 60,000 yuan!"

Instead of helping Wu Jiabao persuade her mother, Huo Xinyuan even helped Wu Jiabao tidy up her clothes again: "Just wear what my mom bought you, why do you care how much it cost?"

After saying that, he looked at Wu Jiabao with satisfaction: "It really looks good!"

"Xinyuan..." Wu Jiabao was at a loss for what to do with the mother and daughter.

At this point, Huo Xinyuan realized that Wu Jiabao was truly anxious, so she advised, "Do you know how much that coat my mother is wearing costs?"

Wu Jiabao shook her head. Although she didn't know the exact price, she could guess that it wouldn't be cheap.

"It's only a little over 300,000!" Huo Xinyuan casually stated the price of the clothes.

Wu Jiabao almost dropped her jaw.

She knew the Huo family was wealthy. Earlier this year, Huo Xinyuan's parents came to the military base and replaced all the appliances there with new ones. Not many people knew about this, but she was one of them, because she had the best relationship with Huo Xinyuan.

But now Huo Xinyuan has told her herself that her mother's coat costs over 300,000 yuan, which is practically like wearing an Audi A6! This is simply...

Wu Jiabao didn't know how to describe it. She originally thought that since she was born and raised in a big city, she had seen a bit of the world. Although she couldn't afford it, she had been to the Grand Gateway near her home many times.

But today, she had a completely new perspective.
