Lin Xi’er blinked. “Why are you so agitated!”
Zhuang Nainai was even more agitated after hearing that. “How many months along are you?”
Lin Xi’er replied shyly, “Almost three months.”
Three months?
She suddenly recalled that Mrs. Lin didn’t want Lin Xi’er to marry Zhang Zhuo. She disapproved of them. The last time around, when Lin Xi’er said she would have a shotgun wedding, Zhuang Nainai hadn’t thought that she was serious.
Zhuang Nainai had been busy with work for the past two months. How could Lin Xi’er just act first and report her actions later?
Zhuang Nainai couldn’t help but sigh. “Xi’er, you’ve really thought this through?”
Zhang Zhuo was from Henan Zheng province. He was five years older than Lin Xi’er. The couple had gotten to know each other in Lijiang.
Lin Xi’er was innocent and didn’t have much interaction with the rest of society. Zhang Zhuo was a graduate of a prestigious university, but he was a teaching assistant in Lijiang. He had an air of rancidity about him, as though he was a wanderer, but somehow he attracted the gaze of many young women.
Lin Xi’er knew what Zhuang Nainai thought about the matter. She changed the topic. “Alright, alright, I’ve thought it through. We’ve already started talking about the wedding at home. Where are we going today to shop?”
Seeing how Lin Xi’er didn’t want to say more about the matter, Zhuang Nainai dropped it and tailed after her.
Lin Xi’er wanted to buy her clothes for the wedding. Thus, they went to a large shopping mall, intending to buy luxurious clothes.
Lin Xi’er tried on a few pieces, then she suddenly saw a small, black and white windbreaker.
Her eyes lit up, insisting that Zhuang Nainai try it on. She felt that it would definitely suit Zhuang Nainai.
Zhuang Nainai had no choice but to take the item into the changing room. She walked out after she had put it on, glancing down to look at the label. She got a shock after seeing it. She opened the door to the changing room as she told Lin Xi’er, “This windbreaker costs around 6000. Xi’er, I don’t want to buy…”
Before she could finish saying what was on her mind, she suddenly saw another woman in front of her, smiling back at her.
When Zhuang Nainai saw this person, her eyes narrowed!
Mi Nuo was shopping for clothes. Even then, she had somehow bumped into Zhuang Nainai. Once she walked in, she heard what Zhuang Nainai said.
Six thousand. In the past, she would have deliberated over whether she should buy that item of clothing. But now that she had control of the entire Gu family, she could spend money however she liked.
So, after she heard what Zhuang Nainai said, Mi Nuo immediately laughed. She looked at Zhuang Nainai as she sarcastically quipped, “Tsktsk, how pitiful you are. When you were Mrs. Si, didn’t your tailor-made clothes cost tens of thousands at least? Now you’re giving yourself a headache over clothes that cost 6000? Zhuang Nainai, everyone seems to be making progress in life and doing better as time goes by, but why do you seem more and more like a clown with time? Could it be that after Mr. Si decided that he no longer wanted you, no one else wanted you either?”
“Hey, what are you saying?!” Lin Xi’er stood up angrily, about to rebut her.
Zhuang Nainai hurriedly grabbed hold of Lin Xi’er, stopping her from rushing forward. Zhuang Nainai furrowed her brows and stared at Mi Nuo. Then, she suddenly smiled. “Yes, everyone is making progress. I wonder who will only deteriorate with time. Mi Nuo, you’re bragging a little too early!”
Mi Nuo smiled. “I’m a member of the Gu family now. Whatever I say about the Gu Corporation goes. How am I worse off than you?”
After she said this, she saw Zhuang Nainai beaming back at her. “Mi Nuo, have you put up your summer collection for sale?”
Had she put up her summer collection for sale?
Mi Nuo furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?”
Their summer collection had gone on sale today. She had taken advantage of this period of time to see how well they would do.
But after she said this, Zhuang Nainai said, “You should go and take a look at the color of the clothes that other stores are selling. You should tide your company over this crisis before you start bragging!”
After Mi Nuo heard this, her expression changed within a blink of an eye!
