Dont worry. I wont fight with Zhai Yaohui. Hes already graduated and Im graduating soon. Perhaps, Ill send a wedding invitation to you soon. When that time comes, will you be my bridesmaid?

Feeling her good friends concern, Qi Minlans mood improved.

Her close friend, Lanlan, smiled. Thats for sure. Your familys so impressive and the Zhai familys 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 dont see anyone suitable at my wedding, dont worry. Ill definitely recommend someone good to you.

Lanlan blushed. Alright. Thats a deal. Dont forget about me when you get your happiness. Dont 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 Lanlans good treatment toward Qi Minlan wasnt entirely fake. She felt that Qi Minlan wouldnt 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.

Zhai Yaohui took Miao Jing to a clothes shop, allowing Miao Jing to shop for ready-made clothes.

It wasnt that there werent tailors around, but Miao Jing didnt 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. Theres no need to be in such a dilemma.

Miao Jing widened her eyes. She couldnt 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 didnt 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 couldnt even bear to buy one, Miao Jing was even firmer in her decision. No, lets just buy this one.

Miao Jing pointed at the cheapest outfit in the entire store.

Zhai Yaohui frowned. You wont have enough to wear if you only buy one set. Miao Jing probably wouldnt be able to wear the clothes she was currently wearing anymore.

Otherwise, his father wouldnt have asked him to take Miao Jing out shopping.

Miao Jing shook her head. Ill just buy one outfit. After I change into it, Ill get some fabric and make my own clothes. For the same price, Ill be able to make two outfits. That way, Ill 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 didnt 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. h.e.l.lo.

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.

Shes my relative, and Ive brought her here to get some clothes. She doesnt really understand some things. Do you think you can help me talk to her about it and choose some pieces for her? Ill pay for them.

The shopkeeper understood the situation at once and smiled as she brought Miao Jing to look at clothes.

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?

Did city dwellers have too much money to spend that they didnt even know where to spend their money?

Miao Jings 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 couldnt help but think that Qi Minlan was quite suitable for the military with her endurance and energy.

Moreover, every time Qi Minlan couldnt 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 Minlans 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 wasnt spending her own money but the Zhai familys money.

It wasnt that Zhai Yaohui couldnt bear to part with the money, but he was truly disgusted by Qi Minlans att.i.tude.

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 didnt happen often. After all, the s.h.i.+ 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 wouldnt dare to spend it for fear that others would misunderstand her relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Yaohui.

The only woman Zhai Yaohui had ever interacted with was Qi Minlan. As such, Zhai Yaohui felt that Miao Jings behavior was rather fresh and amusing.

If Miao Jing felt bad, that probably meant that Miao Jing wasnt one who would spend money freely just because it wasnt her money.

Zhai Yaohuis impression of Miao Jing had improved tremendously, and he felt that Miao Jing was much more pleasing to the eye now.

Alright.. Well take these.
