novelxo Chapter 175
She handed him the items while he scanned them. Such tacit cooperation was very efficient. Whatever Xyla asked of him, he
would cooperate compliantly.
When Sebastian and a female internet celebrity pushed their cart to the payment area, they just happened to run into this scene.
His eyes subconsciously widened. Sebastian deliberately closed his eyes, rubbing them for a bit before opening them wide
again.
His eyes were not playing tricks on him. That man was his best buddy, Old Fifth!
And that woman was his sister-in-law, Xyla Quest!
What was this? This person who despised entering supermarkets was actually here shopping!
And from the looks of things, he seemed to be cooperating very well. He got more curious as to what magic Xyla had used on
Stanley.
Were they already this close?
So close that Xyla would actually go shopping with him?
“This is too f’*cking surreal...” Sebastian could not help mumbling to himself.
The internet celebrity asked, “Young Master Brenand, what are you talking about?”
“No... Nothing.” Sebastian shook his head without any intention of explaining to her.
He took out his phone and aimed his camera at Stanley and Xyla to take a fifteen-second video. Then, he sent it to their WeChat
group, Gentleman’s Club.
The group exploded right away.
Henry simply replied, “??????”
Gary only replied with a single ‘?’.
Henry then continued. “Holysh*t! What’s going on? The one who hates supermarkets the most is actually shopping with Sister-in-
law! @Stanley Batton. Is this some 3D fantasy movie?”
Gary added. “Are you guys already at the stage of shopping together? Looks like your relationship is developing very well
@Stanley Batton”
Henry continued some more. “I think you’re no longer the Old Fifth I know. Why do you treat Sister-in-law differently than us? Are
we not worthy of such treatment from you? @Stanley Batton, #furious-roaring.jpeg#”
Gary seconded. “Of course we’re not worthy. Screaming #marmota.jpeg#”
Sebastian replied. “@Old Fifth, stop playing dead and say something.”
Sebastian continued. “This guy is not only keeping sister-in-law company, but he’s also going to her at her every beck and call.
Would you guys believe it? He is like a robot with Sister-in-law holding the remote.”
Henry commented. “I remember asking a certain someone to accompany me to the supermarket once, but that person simply
said that it’s chaotic and troublesome and that he wouldn’t go. Don’t ask. I’m just not worthy.”
Next, Henry and Sebastian started relentlessly tagging Stanley in their messages.
Stanley, who was currently buying scanning the groceries, was oblivious to all this.
Soon, Stanley and Xyla’s stuff had all been scanned. Stanley had to take his phone out to pay. Upon seeing dozens of messages
in the ‘Gentleman’s Club’ and countless tags of himself, he simply ignored it and made his payment.
After that, he carried all the bags in one hand and strode outside. His long slender legs were attracting so much attention.
Xyla walked beside him as she pushed the cart with one hand. She opened their chat room in WeChat with her freehand. She
transferred him fifty-one thousand and eight hundred dollars.
This was the full amount of what they had spent today.
Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. The phone in Stanley’s pocket immediately vibrated.
“I’ve transferred you the amount we’ve spent this afternoon. Remember to accept it,” said Xyla.
“No need,” he replied.
“Why not? Didn’t we agree that I’ll be responsible for all these?” Even if he thought of money as crap, there was no need to go to
such an extent!
