Meeting Again

“Miss, do you want any other bracelets?” The counter lady couldn’t help but remind her.

Zhang Yingni looked at Su Tian, who was already far away, and didn’t have the time to swipe her card to pay the bill. She answered with some embarrassment, “I’ll buy it next time.”

With that, she picked up her bank card and hurriedly ran out.

The professionally trained counter lady: “…”

She couldn’t help cursing1 in her heart. Is it really fine to hold up my business like this?

Liu Kaiyan saw that Zhang Yingni was following and asked Su Tian in a low voice, “Are you really not buying that bracelet?”

Su Tian: “Of course I’m buying it.”

She took out her phone and sent a text to He Qingwan:

【Mom, go to XX counter and help me buy a blue crystal piggy bracelet.】

After sending, she nonchalantly placed her phone in her pocket and continued walking.

Liu Kaiyan: “…”

He lowered his head and smiled. Tiantian’s too evil.

Zhang Yingni saw Su Tian stop in front of the Patek Philippe counter, and she felt a bit weak. That was Patek Philippe! Casually buying a slightly better watch cost several million, and top goods cost up to ten million. This month, Dad stopped her allowance for some reason…

But recalling that Su Tian said she liked it, she grit her teeth and followed.

Worst case scenario, she could save money for a few months or give it to her mom or dad as a gift.

Su Tian pointed to a men’s watch with a 7-digit price tag and asked, “Can you take this watch out again so I can take a look?”

The clerk was a uniformed, handsome young man, who found it a bit odd when he heard Su Tian’s words.

‘Again’? If such a beautiful customer had come by, he definitely wouldn’t have forgotten.

But the clerk didn’t reveal the slightest expression. He took out the box and began to softly introduce the watch’s material and craftsmanship, as well as Patek Philippe’s history.

Su Tian listened earnestly, from time to time asking the clerk a few things. It was clear she was someone who was knowledgeable about watches.

Su Tian pulled Liu Kaiyan over and asked him to put out his hand, then placed the watch on his wrist. She gave a word of praise. “Handsome!”

Liu Kaiyan looked down at her, a smile in his eyes.

Zhang Yingni couldn’t hold back anymore and came over. “I want this watch.”

Su Tian: “You want to snatch the watch I want to buy for my boyfriend?”

Nearby, a youth wearing a cap paused when he heard these words. Boyfriend?

Luocheng police informed Ji Shaoheng this morning that He Qingwan had come to Didu again, and he’d left his work in the laboratory behind. He didn’t expect to hear these words.

A boyfriend?

The young man raised a brow and sized up the boy standing next to Su Tian through a nearby mirror. He looked… like a decent match.

He silently took out his cell phone, found Ji Shaoheng’s name, and send a text message:

【I met that woman who gave you her umbrella last time at XX Mall.】

Zhang Yingni took out her card. “I like it, AND I want to buy it and give it to your boyfriend.”

The clerk looked at Su Tian. Seeing that she didn’t stop it, he could only accept Zhang Yingni’s card. After repeatedly confirming that she really wanted to buy it, he took the card and left to ring it up.

Zhang Yingni lifted her chin, looking like a proud cat. She looked at Su Tian and said, “You look so shameful. If it were your stepmom and cheap2 little brother who ran into you, you’d have been laughed at by them.”

Su Tian: “It can’t be helped. I’m poor now.”

Zhang Yingni scoffed. “If you run into that stepmother of yours, don’t expect me to vent your anger for you.”

Su Tian: “Yes yes yes, I’d be very grateful if you didn’t bully me along with them.”

Zhang Yingni acted like her tail had been stepped on. “Hmph, do I need to bully you with them?”

Su Tian: “No, no need…”

While they were talking, the clerk returned with Zhang Yingni’s card. Zhang Yingni raised her chin. “Wrap it up for me.”

Clerk: “I’m sorry, miss, your card didn’t go through.”

Zhang Yingni: “What?!”

Clerk: “It might be frozen.”

Now even Su Tian raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Zhang Yingni came from a well-off family. Father Zhang was in the real-estate business, and their family was very rich. Moreover, Father Zhang’s spoiling of his daughter was almost exactly like Elder You with You Pinyan. The most extreme example was when Zhang Yingni was a child and wanted an amusement park3 for her birthday. With a wave of Father Zhang’s hand, he bought a plot of land in Didu and spent half a year building an amusement park.

Although now the park had long broken down due to neglect, it had been Zhang Yingni’s favorite thing to show off to Su Tian when they were little.

Zhang Yingni angrily called Father Zhang, but nobody answered. She called Mother Zhang, and again, nobody answered.

A bit panicked, she called her family butler’s private number. After the butler answered, he said that Father Zhang had already settled his salary and fired him this morning.

The butler has been working for our family for decades. Daddy always said they’d provide for him when he got old. Why would…

Zhang Yingni was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

Su Tian picked up the card and walked over. Zhang Yingni thought that Su Tian would take the opportunity to laugh at her, but she only placed the card in her hand, suggesting, “Why don’t you try to call your dad’s secretary?”

After Su Tian finished speaking, she took Liu Kaiyan with her and left.

If her guess was right, something must have happened to the Zhang family. She didn’t have a hobby of staying behind to appreciate the misery of others, and she didn’t want to spend her time comforting others who were hostile to her. Staying away was the best option.

Just as Su Tian and Liu Kaiyan left the Patek Philippe store, they ran into He Qingwan, who had finished buying the bracelet, and the other two.

He Qingwan asked, “Tiantian, where did you go?”

Su Tian smiled. “We ran into Zhang Yingni and talked a little bit. Did you finish buying?”

When He Qingwan heard that it was Zhang Yingni, she knew that the two girls hadn’t gotten along since they were little, and she didn’t ask any more. She smiled. “Finished, finished. Xiao Yan almost emptied out the stores.”

Su Tian was a bit surprised. Then why were the two empty-handed?

You Pinyan stared at the bracelet Su Tian had picked for the little fatty and asked, “There’s too much stuff. I asked the mall to arrange for people to send it to the hotel.”

Su Tian: “…”

She really shouldn’t have underestimated the Young Miss’s attack power.

Seeing that it was almost three, everyone left the mall and prepared to head to Fangyuan Technology’s headquarters.

“We’re leaving after this?” You Pinyan looked as though she hadn’t looked around enough yet.

Su Tian: “You still want to shop more?”

The Young Miss cast aside her face. “It’s my birthday soon. I still haven’t bought my birthday present.”

Why did Su Tian buy a birthday present for the little fatty and not her? They’d slept together!

Su Tian: “…”

Xi Yun also stared a hole in Su Tian and reminded her, “I’m almost twelve too.” I also need a birthday gift.

Su Tian: “…it’s late today. How about I buy your birthday gifts tomorrow?”

Only then did the two happily agree to leave.

Liu Kaiyan: “…”

His birthday… fine, it was still far off.

Just as the group left the mall, a black Audi stopped in front of them.

The car window rolled down, revealing Chief Ji’s handsome face. His smile softened the austerity between his brows. “What a coincidence, we meet again.”

Half a minute later, the young man received a text message:

【No room in the car, take a taxi back.】

[1] mmp: slang for “your mom’s a prostitute”

[2] 便宜: in the sense that she obtained a new little brother without any effort

[3] 游乐场: can be playground or amusement park/fair.

Cheese: another chapter of the concubines competing for emperor su tian’s favor…
