“How much is this Swiss Flower Watch? Great, I’ll take one.”
“I’ll have a box of Da Bao’s Evening Frost, and also two tubes of this Yu Xi lipstick.”
“I want a set of this princess dress, and that Little T-shirt as well.”
...
Su Mingxian got straight to the point upon arrival, shopping with abandon—
She was so extravagant that she didn’t give the sales clerk a chance to look down on her, swiftly wrapping up her purchases.
Not only that, she also got a short haircut with airy bangs, resembling a student. She was already beautiful, with arched brows and almond-shaped eyes, a delicate nose and red lips. Especially her almond eyes, which sparkled like clear spring water, seemed to speak with a hint of laughter, instantly bringing joy to anyone who saw her.
Even the hairstylist was stunned after the cut; it was hard to believe she was a mother of two, looking just like a young girl.
Her skin was slightly tanned, and her clothes were rather plain.
“Mommy, you’re so pretty.”
Su Mingxian pinched her daughter’s little face and said, “Qian Qian looks beautiful too.”
The little girl felt a bit shy. “Mommy, I’m wearing a new hair tie. Do you think Daddy will recognize me at first glance?”
"Bah, country folks are just country folks. No matter how many new clothes you wear, you can't hide that earthy smell. Your father hasn't seen you in eight hundred years; no amount of new hair ribbons will help," Wang Fang sneered, unexpectedly running into Su Mingxian and her daughter while out shopping. Seeing the pile of nice things they had bought made her green with envy.
Qian Qian, upon hearing this, clung tightly to her mother's leg, tears welling up in her eyes. Su Mingxian's expression immediately turned cold. "Just because you can't speak doesn't mean no one thinks you're mute."
"You—" Wang Fang was about to retort angrily when she was pulled back by Zheng Xiuzhi standing beside her.
"Alright, alright, let’s all keep it down a bit," Zheng Xiuzhi said with a smile directed at Su Mingxian. "You must be Xiao Su, right? I'm your second aunt-in-law. We met briefly last time and didn't get a chance to talk. What a coincidence to run into you here; it really is fate."
They say you shouldn't hit someone who is smiling at you, but unfortunately, Su Mingxian had a deep-seated dislike for the Ruan family. "Second aunt-in-law? I don't know you."
Zheng Xiuzhi was taken aback, her face turning red, while Wang Fang scoffed, "Hmph, just because you have a little money doesn't mean you can deny your relatives. Who cares about being related to a country bumpkin like you?"
Su Mingxian looked at her coldly. "If you don't care about being related to me, does that mean you're planning to pay back the money?"
"You—" Wang Fang's face flushed with anger. At that moment, Zheng Xiuzhi quickly interjected, "Oh dear, it's understandable that Xiao Su doesn't recognize me. My husband is Ruan Jianjun; he’s the second oldest in the family. Brother Shen must have mentioned him to you? This is my daughter A Ying; come on, say hello to your cousin."
"Hello, cousin." The little girl was very polite but then pouted at the princess dress in Su Mingxian's hands and said, "Mommy, I want that princess dress."
Zheng Xiuzhi immediately scolded her, "A Ying, that's rude! How can you ask your cousin for something on our first meeting?"
"No! I want it! I want it!" The little girl protested loudly, crying and insisting on having it. Zheng Xiuzhi looked awkwardly at Su Mingxian and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. A Ying isn't usually like this; she must really like that dress. This child has such a temper; please don’t mind her."
As the mother and daughter exchanged barbs back and forth, Qian Qian clutched her own princess dress tightly and hid behind Su Mingxian.
