Chapter 314: Being a Sister-in-Law is Not Easy

Mo Fei has always been thinking about Yang Huan’s reaction. After being persuaded by Yang Yi, she also had some doubt about her own judgment. Therefore, amidst the busy schedule of the upcoming album release, she managed to squeeze out a day.

“Huanhuan, are you free today? How about I take you shopping?” Mo Fei showed her utmost goodwill to Yang Huan.

Shopping? Xixi, who had just woken up next to her and was drinking milk from a bottle, brightened up.

However, Yang Huan wasn’t very excited. She quickly waved her hand and said embarrassedly, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. You have bought me so many things during this time!”

“It’s not that much. Look at your clothes, there are only three or four new sets, and they were all picked by me. I don’t know if my taste matches the preferences of you young people. This time, sister-in-law will take you and you can buy the clothes you want.” Mo Fei persuaded.

“Three or four sets are still few?” Yang Huan actually felt very satisfied. “When I was at home, I hardly buy a few clothes throughout the year.”

Not to mention Yang Huan, Ding Xiang was the same. Although Ding Xiang has some savings now, she hasn’t been willing to buy clothes for herself. Mo Fei gave her a few good clothes on her birthday, but Ding Xiang couldn’t bear to wear them. She had kept them and usually wore the coffee shop’s uniform.

“That was before! Now that life has improved, your living condition should also be adjusted. Moreover, how can a girl treat herself badly? I always tell Yang Yi that girls should be well taken care of so that they won’t easily suffer losses in the future.” Mo Fei was not very good at persuading people, but she still tried hard to persuade. Her heart was actually in a state of turmoil, and she was worried that Yang Huan would reject her because she has an opinion of her.

Yang Huan still felt embarrassed about letting her sister-in-law spend so much money, and she also kept refusing.

Yang Yi, who was next to them, couldn’t stand it anymore. He spoke up for Mo Fei and said, “Alright, Huanhuan, your sister-in-law finally has a day off to take you shopping. Just go, whether to buy something or not can be decided later.”

Since her big brother had spoken, Yang Huan could only nod her head.

Yang Yi remembered something, he got up and walked to the study, and brought back a card.

When he came back, he happened to see Xixi sullenly asking, “Mama, why can’t I go? I also want to go shopping”.

While he was in the study, Xixi had already asked Mo Fei if she could go shopping too, but Mo Fei did not agree.

Taking Yang Huan shopping was like two girlfriends having fun, and even if paparazzi photographed them, it wouldn’t matter. But Xixi was different. The little girl would really stand out too much! Moreover, Mo Fei wasn’t the unknown little star she used to be. Now she has received a lot of attention and the paparazzi have taken an interest in her. They often followed her to take photos. Every time Mo Fei returned home, she has to let Mo Xiaojuan take a few detours and be especially careful.

“Mama doesn’t want to play with Xixi anymore, Xixi is not happy.” The little girl pouted and played a small temper.¹

Fortunately, Yang Yi understood the situation and came over to help Mo Fei out. He smiled and said, “Xixi, you want to go shopping too? How about you go with Papa? Your Mama and little aunt are going to places that sell adult clothes. The place where Papa is going is much more fun. There are many, many toys. If you go with Papa, Papa can also buy you a doll!”

Buy a doll? Xixi’s eyes lit up, and she immediately forgot all the unhappiness just now. She said happily, “Really? Then I want to go play with Papa!”

From beginning to end, what she was mainly focused on was just going shopping and having fun. Whether she went with her mother or not was secondary.

After coaxing his daughter, Yang Yi handed Yang Huan the card he had just taken. “This is the credit card I got for you a few days ago. It’s linked to my card. When you go out with your sister-in-law, just use this card!”

A credit card? What’s a credit card? Why does it look like a bank card? Yang Huan held the card and curiously flipped back and forth to examine it.

“Yang Yi, can’t you let me show off a bit?” Mo Fei playfully complained.

Yang Huan hugged Mo Fei’s arm with a smile and said, “Sister-in-law, it’s okay. I’m already very happy that you’re taking me shopping. And it’s great to spend my big brother’s money and make sure he doesn’t spend it on anything strange.”

Looking at Yang Huan’s intimate gesture, Mo Fei felt a little overjoyed and didn’t bother blaming Yang Yi.

Yang Huan didn’t quite understand how to use this credit card, so Yang Yi took the time to explain it to her. The credit limit on the card he gave Yang Huan was quite high, with a basic limit of 50,000, and a temporary limit set by the bank. Yang Huan could even overdraw 100,000 without any problem. Of course, Yang Yi knew that his little sister wouldn’t spend that much, so he didn’t explain too much to her.

……

The mall that Mo Fei took Yang Huan to was certainly not simple. It was located in the business center of the Binhai District, gathering well-known clothing brands from both international and domestic markets. Although the exterior decoration didn’t differ much from other mall, once inside and looking at the price tags, the polarization of the world was vividly reflected here! ²

Yang Huan was originally very calm as she followed Mo Fei, curiously flipping through the clothes on the shelves. However, she inadvertently glanced at the price tag on the label and her heart jumped. She didn’t believe it and looked at a few more. Finally, she couldn’t help but pull Mo Fei aside to whisper.

“Sister-in-law, is this right? Did we enter a black-market shop? How can a piece of clothing cost almost 4,000 yuan?” Yang Huan asked nervously.

“That’s right. These are the prices here.” Mo Fei said with a smile. She had been busy signing autographs for a few salespersons just now, so her reaction to Yang Huan’s surprise was a bit delayed.

Indeed, for Mo Fei, such prices were not a big problem. And this was still based on the fact that Yang Huan wanted to buy sportswear or jeans. The shop that Mo Fei brought her to was already considered a middle-to-lower level brand in this place. If she wanted to buy those luxurious fur coats, the price would be far more than 4,000 yuan, and people would use tens of thousands as the unit!

But Yang Huan couldn’t quite accept such a price.

She couldn’t help but ask another question, “Sister-in-law, the clothes you bought for me before, they weren’t also around three or four thousand yuan a piece, were they?”

Before, Yang Huan didn’t have much experience and thought that at most it would be a few hundred yuan. So, even though she was embarrassed, she still accepted Mo Fei’s gifts.

“No,” Mo Fei’s initial words made Yang Huan breath a sign of relief, but Mo Fei’s honest answer afterward made Yang Huan’s vision go dark. “The ones I gave you are much more expensive.”

It wasn’t that Mo Fei was extravagant. As a star, personal image was very important. Even if she didn’t pay attention to it herself, sponsors would be picky. Mo Fei has already gotten used to spending a lot on clothes.

Yang Huan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Sister-in-law, if you had told me those clothes were so valuable, I wouldn’t have dared to accept them. Accepting such expensive gifts from others, my dad would kill me!”

“But I’m not just someone else!” Mo Fei cared about this choice of words and said with some sadness, “I’m your sister-in-law. It’s okay for me to buy you some clothes, right? You don’t have to worry about the prices. These are within what both Yang Yi and I can afford.”

But In the end, Yang Huan still didn’t want to buy such expensive clothes. She managed to persuade Mo Fei to agree to take her to a slightly more affordable mall.

In this mall where the average price of a piece of clothing was only two to three hundred yuan, Yang Huan still felt it was expensive, but at least she could accept it. The two of them shopped for a while and bought two sets of sportswear that Yang Huan liked. Yang Huan liked the thin zip-up hoodies and slim athletic pants. With her tall figure, she looked particularly neat and charming, even better than a model!

However, shopping in such a mall obviously couldn’t last long. Mo Fei was quickly recognized, and before the influx of fans swarmed in, she quickly pulled Yang Huan away.

Escaping to the parking lot and shaking off the people following them, the two of them gasped for breath and couldn’t help but look at each other and laugh.

“Sister-in-law, being a star is really tiring!” Yang Huan hugged Mo Fei’s hand and said affectionately.

“Just get used to it. I’m just a bit regretful that I couldn’t accompany you fully today and that the clothes I got you were so cheap,” Mo Fei said with some regret.

“How could that be? Going shopping with sister-in-law today made me so happy. I feel like I’ve learned a lot,” Yang Huan said with a sweet smile.

Feeling Yang Huan’s closeness to her, the stone that had been hanging in Mo Fei’s heart finally fell.
