“Don’t!” Miao Jing rushed to stop Zhai Yaohui in a panic, not allowing Zhai Yaohui to make payment. “We can just buy one set.”

“Are you intending on making the other two sets yourself?” Zhai Yaohui asked.

“Can’t I?” Wasn’t it just two pieces of cloth? She had already seen them. Besides, wasn’t she already buying one set? She could simply go home and analyze it. She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to replicate it.

It was just clothes made out of two pieces of cloth. It was daylight robbery that they were paying so much for them!

Zhai Yaohui shook his head. “It’s best not to be too naive or confident.”

There was definitely a reason that they were sold for such high prices. If everything could be made at home, how would such shops remain open?

Miao Jing widened her eyes and felt upset. She could tell that Zhai Yaohui was mocking her!

But Miao Jing didn’t put up a fight with Zhai Yaohui. She made her own mental calculations. The piece of cloth that Zhai Yaohui had cut for her was quite big, and she would have some leftover after making herself two sets of clothes.

With the leftover cloth, she would definitely be able to make this underwear thing they were talking about.

Thankfully, the clothes sold at that time were made of cotton and not nylon or chiffon. As such, the material used to make outerwear could also be used for underwear.

By the time Miao Jing got in the car, she had many things in her hands.

Zhai Yaohui had wanted to help Miao Jing with them, but she insisted that she didn’t need any help because she was a young lady from the countryside and was strong.

Thinking about how Qi Minlan was so weak that she looked like she was going to collapse under the weight of her shopping bags, Zhai Yaohui silently agreed that young ladies from the countryside were pretty good. At the very least, they were independent.

When they returned to the quad, Miao Jing had just gotten out of the car when she saw a very beautiful and elegant young lady standing in front of the Zhai family’s gate.

The moment that young lady caught sight of her, that young lady stared at her as though they were enemies.

Miao Jing had just arrived in the city that day. That person had probably gotten the wrong person. How could they be enemies?

Miao Jing’s calm and collected stature infuriated Qi Minlan, and she stomped her feet in front of Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing.

She pointed a finger at Miao Jing. “Brother Zhai, who is she? Why was she in your car? Did you buy all of this for her? Brother Zhai, I’m your fiancée. Don’t you think you should give me an explanation?”

Miao Jing’s eyes widened in shock and anger.

She had thought that the Zhai family was truly good to her. Even though she had never dared to think too far, the Zhai family had always insisted on letting her marry Zhai Yaohui. That proved just how much the Zhai family cared about repaying kindness.

But now, Miao Jing no longer felt the same way.

Even though she was from the countryside, was poor, and was an orphan.

Zhai Yaohui already had a fiancée. How could she possibly be with Zhai Yaohui? What did they take her for?

Miao Jing, who had high self-esteem but was self-conscious, would have reached out to slap Zhai Yaohui’s face if not for the multiple shopping bags in her hands that she couldn’t bear to drop on the floor.

Was the Zhai family trying to trick her into a marriage? They didn’t even let her know that Zhai Yaohui had a fiancée!

Although she didn’t know why the Zhai family bothered to lie to a poor girl from the countryside like her, that couldn’t cover up the fact that they had indeed lied to her!

Zhai Yaohui was speechless.

Sighing, Zhai Yaohui looked toward Miao Jing. “I don’t have a fiancée.” Then, he turned to Qi Minlan. “Since when have we gotten engaged? When did we ever have an engagement ceremony, and when did you even become my fiancée?”

Miao Jing was in disbelief. The female side seemed to be at a disadvantage in such a situation.

If word got out, wouldn’t this young lady not be able to get married in the future?

Qi Minlan’s face flushed red in anger and embarrassment. “Brother Zhai, how could you deny it? We grew up together. Auntie already regards me as a daughter. Haven’t both our families always silently acknowledged our marriage?”

“Silently acknowledged?” Zhai Yaohui retorted. “So you’ve silently acknowledged it too?”

“I…” Qi Minlan wanted to reply in the affirmative, but when she looked into Zhai Yaohui’s eyes, she no longer had the courage to do so.

“Minlan, I know that you’re an opinionated girl, and I also know that I have the same place in your heart as Shi Peng because we grew up together. You don’t have to worry about what our parents think. I’ll settle this matter.”

Anyway, based on his parents’ attitude, there no longer seemed to be the need to settle this problem.

Qi Minlan’s face turned pale. “You’re abandoning me just because of a woman like that? We’ve been together for so many years and this is how you treat me? Zhai Yaohui, you’re heartless!”

Qi Minlan had never expected to receive such a devastating answer.

Not only had Zhai Yaohui not explained the relationship between him and that countryside girl and that everything was just a misunderstanding, but he had even said that they were only siblings!

He would even find a way to solve the problem since the silent acknowledgment between the two families didn’t count for anything.

Solve? What was there to solve?

She didn’t need it to be resolved in this way!

Qi Minlan cupped her face and ran off in tears.

Miao Jing was stunned and finally spoke up. “Do… do you want to go after her?” That young lady looked really hurt, and it was true that the relationship between that girl and Zhai Yaohui was complicated.

Hearing that Qi Minlan was Zhai Yaohui’s fiancée, Miao Jing had felt a little sour.

But logic was logic, and feelings were feelings.

She couldn’t help but sigh upon learning that an outstanding man like Zhai Yaohui already had a fiancée of around the same age. Everyone lived different lives indeed.

Before her new life had started, it had already ended.

“There’s no need to go after her. She lives nearby and knows the place well. Nothing will happen to her.”

Based on his past experience, it was best not to get close to Qi Minlan or try to comfort her when she was throwing a tantrum. Doing so would only anger her even more and cause her to throw an even bigger tantrum.

“Then, shall we go back?”action

“Yes.”

They walked into the house side by side and Grandma Zhai’s eyes almost welled up with tears. “You guys are back! Miao Miao, what did your Brother Zhai buy for you?”

She was a child who had lived such a tough life. Brother Miao had only lost his life because of her Old Zhai.

Yaohui hadn’t become an orphan because Miao Miao had become an orphan in his stead.

Their family owed Miao Miao too much. Even if they were to repay her with their son, they would never be able to repay that debt.

In the time that Miao Jing had gone to buy her clothes, Old Zhai had told Grandma Zhai about Miao Jing’s situation, including how Second Uncle Miao’s family had wanted to let their biological daughter take Miao Jing’s place.

After learning about the whole situation, Grandma Zhai was no longer afraid, even though she knew that Miao Jing had such terrible relatives like Second Uncle Miao’s family.
