“Don’t worry. I won’t fight with Zhai Yaohui. He’s already graduated and I’m graduating soon. Perhaps, I’ll send a wedding invitation to you soon. When that time comes, will you be my bridesmaid?”
Feeling her good friend’s concern, Qi Minlan’s mood improved.
Her close friend, Lanlan, smiled. “That’s for sure. Your family’s so impressive and the Zhai family’s even more impressive. If I become your bridesmaid, I might even get to ride on your laurels and marry into a good family.”
Qi Minlan laughed. “If you don’t see anyone suitable at my wedding, don’t worry. I’ll definitely recommend someone good to you.”
Lanlan blushed. “Alright. That’s a deal. Don’t forget about me when you get your happiness. Don’t blame me for being shameless if I have to remind you!”
Lanlan was truly moved. She had made many calculated moves to get to know Qi Minlan because she had an average family background.
But Lanlan’s good treatment toward Qi Minlan wasn’t entirely fake. She felt that Qi Minlan wouldn’t shortchange her if she felt her sincerity.
With a good friend like Qi Minlan, she would definitely have good opportunities lying ahead of her.
Of course, Zhai Yaohui, who was taking Miao Jing out shopping, had no idea of this. Even if he did have an inkling of it, he would probably not care about it anyway.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZhai Yaohui took Miao Jing to a clothes shop, allowing Miao Jing to shop for ready-made clothes.
It wasn’t that there weren’t tailors around, but Miao Jing didn’t have any clothes with her. As such, she needed them in a hurry, and buying ready-made ones was naturally the best choice.
But Miao Jing stood in front of the clothes hesitantly, so much so that Zhai Yaohui wanted to ask if there was anything wrong.
Thinking about how Qi Minlan had deliberated for a long time between two dresses that looked similar during the one and only time he had gone out shopping with Qi Minlan, Zhai Yaohui finally spoke up. “If you really like them, just buy both of them. I was already prepared to buy two to three sets of clothes for you anyway. There’s no need to be in such a dilemma.”
Miao Jing widened her eyes. She couldn’t even bear to buy just one set of clothes, but she was going to buy two or three at a time?
Yes, Miao Jing was troubled because she felt that they were all good and didn’t know which to buy.
To Miao Jing, who had never held money in her hands, it was daylight robbery that a piece of clothing cost more than ten yuan!
If she were to cut some fabric and make her own clothes, she would be able to make herself two sets of clothes with the same amount of money! This store was no different from stealing her money.
It was just that Miao Jing knew that city dwellers thought differently from people from the countryside.
Especially since Zhai Yaohui casually said to simply buy two to three outfits when she couldn’t even bear to buy one, Miao Jing was even firmer in her decision. “No, let’s just buy this one.”
Miao Jing pointed at the cheapest outfit in the entire store.
Zhai Yaohui frowned. “You won’t have enough to wear if you only buy one set.” Miao Jing probably wouldn’t be able to wear the clothes she was currently wearing anymore.
Otherwise, his father wouldn’t have asked him to take Miao Jing out shopping.
Miao Jing shook her head. “I’ll just buy one outfit. After I change into it, I’ll get some fabric and make my own clothes. For the same price, I’ll be able to make two outfits. That way, I’ll have three sets of clothes in total.”
Having three sets of clothes just so that she would be able to send them for laundry. Miao Jing had never dared to dream of having such a luxury in the past.
Zhai Yaohui didn’t mind Miao Jing buying whatever she wanted as long as the numbers were right. Zhai Yaohui would simply support Miao Jing no matter what.
Apart from buying clothes, Zhai Yaohui also brought Miao Jing to a store that specialized in female lingerie. “Hello.”
“Yes, do you have any needs?” Seeing that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were of a similar age, the shopkeeper thought that they were a couple who were on a date.
But the shopkeeper thought that it was strange that the man was well-dressed, while the lady was dressed in ragged clothes.
The shopkeeper had probably last seen this style of clothes quite a few years ago.
“She’s my relative, and I’ve brought her here to get some clothes. She doesn’t really understand some things. Do you think you can help me talk to her about it and choose some pieces for her? I’ll pay for them.”
The shopkeeper understood the situation at once and smiled as she brought Miao Jing to look at ‘clothes’.action
Miao Jing had to suppress the urge to ask why she had to get more clothes. After all, she had already gotten a new outfit as well as some fabric. She had everything she needed.
It was only until the shopkeeper explained to her that women needed specialized underwear that Miao Jing blushed, noted the price down silently in her heart, and allowed Zhai Yaohui to pay for the items.
While Zhai Yaohui made the payment, Miao Jing felt her heart bleed.
These clothes were almost as expensive as the outfit and fabric she had bought earlier. Why were two pieces of clothing so expensive?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid city dwellers have too much money to spend that they didn’t even know where to spend their money?
Miao Jing’s painful expression delighted Zhai Yaohui.
Zhai Yaohui had few opportunities to bring women out shopping. He felt that it was tiresome. After all, Qi Minlan could shop all day without stopping.
At that time, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t help but think that Qi Minlan was quite suitable for the military with her endurance and energy.
Moreover, every time Qi Minlan couldn’t choose between two to three items and he suggested that they buy all of them, Qi Minlan would be over the moon and stick to him, calling him affectionately.
It was Zhai Yaohui who paid for Qi Minlan’s purchases most of the time.
Zhai Yaohui was only willing to do so because Grandma Zhai had instructed him as such.
After this happened two to three times, Zhai Yaohui realized that Qi Minlan always chose more than two pieces of clothing because she wasn’t spending her own money but the Zhai family’s money.
It wasn’t that Zhai Yaohui couldn’t bear to part with the money, but he was truly disgusted by Qi Minlan’s attitude.
As such, Zhai Yaohui never liked to accompany Qi Minlan every time Grandma Zhai tasked him with doing so. Zhai Yaohui simply turned up to make payment and left right after that.
Thankfully, that didn’t happen often. After all, the Shi family had started to distance themselves from the Zhai family.
At that time, even if Zhai Yaohui had been willing to spend his money on Qi Minlan, she wouldn’t dare to spend it for fear that others would misunderstand her relationship with Zhai Yaohui.
The only woman Zhai Yaohui had ever interacted with was Qi Minlan. As such, Zhai Yaohui felt that Miao Jing’s behavior was rather fresh and amusing.
If Miao Jing felt bad, that probably meant that Miao Jing wasn’t one who would spend money freely just because it wasn’t her money.
Zhai Yaohui’s impression of Miao Jing had improved tremendously, and he felt that Miao Jing was much more pleasing to the eye now.
“Alright.. We’ll take these.”
