“Yun Xi, why aren’t you shopping with us? I saw a few coats just now that are especially suitable for you.”
Shi Qi still pretended to be magnanimous and sensible in front of the man.
“Is this your friend? Can you introduce him?”
Shi Qi stared at Gu Ting, feeling that this person was a little familiar.
She remembered now!
This man seemed to be that famous mafia boss! She had once met this man by chance!
Shi Qi’s family ran an aquatic company. Although it was not considered a top-tier wealthy family, Shi Qi, as the only daughter in the family, had been doted upon since she was young and had developed a spoiled personality.
However, the aquatic business was not doing well. Shi Qi’s father got into the bad habit of gambling. The family plummeted!
At that time, the aquatic company had already laid off many people. They were barely able to maintain their business with a few old customers. However, Shi Qi’s father always thought that he had the ability to bring the company back to life. He even dreamed of winning against everyone at the gambling table.
As a result, he borrowed a lot of high-interest loans from the underground casino. These high-interest loans and gambling debts snowballed until the family could no longer bear them.
In the end, Shi Qi’s father could only declare bankruptcy and pay off all the debts by handing over the company to Gu Ting.
Gu Ting brought people over to take over the company. Shi Qi had been chased out of the big villa that day and had seen this man from afar. From her parents’ tone, she knew that he was the biggest boss behind the company.
At that time, she was still young. She could only hide in her mother’s arms and cry because of the sudden changes in her life.
After the bankruptcy of the aquatic company, Shi Qi’s father no longer had the same business spirit as before. However, this life still had to continue. Shi Qi’s father and mother used a small amount of money to buy a small shop in the downtown area. They were still doing their previous aquatic business.
With the connections that they had accumulated previously, these aquatic products had their own market. However, compared to the big companies that bought, sold, packaged, and delivered products to their doors, the small shops now were no different from ordinary vendors.
Shi Qi’s quality of life also plummeted, and she transferred out of her previous aristocratic school. From that moment on, Shi Qi told herself that she must study hard and change the tragedy of her family.
However, since she was young, she was spoiled and used to the envious gazes of the children. Thus, Shi Qi still tried her best to maintain her standard of living. Even though she was starving, she still had to buy something that made her classmates envious.
She liked to take advantage of others, and it was a habit that she had formed at this time. If she did not rely on these rich heiresses to spend money for her, she really would not be able to afford it!
Gradually, she also formed a habit, and it became a matter of course for anyone!
Just like that, she persisted. Previously, she was still maintaining a sisterly relationship with a few socialite friends on the surface. Thus, up until now, Qian Yun could still see her photo. She was still treated as the daughter of a wealthy family and went on a blind date with Zhou Mo.
“Gu Ting.” Gu Ting took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Shi Qi’s hand.
Shi Qi politely returned the handshake. However, when she reached out to shake her cold palm, a guilty feeling welled up in her heart. She was afraid that her current situation would be exposed and she would become the laughingstock of the entire school!
“I feel that I have brought a little too many things today, and my bag can’t hold them all. Can I choose a bigger bag to use on the road?”
Shi Qi quickly changed the topic, hoping that Zhou Mo would agree to her choosing a big-brand bag.
“Of course, it doesn’t matter, you can choose now. There are signs inside the shopping mall, you can follow the signs.”
Zhou Mo said, but he did not even give Shi Qi a hand out of the corner of his eye.
Shi Qi’s mind was quite meticulous. She could also feel Zhou Mo’s change. If he really cared, this was a good opportunity to curry favor with her.
