"Please wrap these two up for me."
"Hey, is there another color for this one? There's a white one, right? Okay, then please wrap this red one and that white one together."
"By the way, can you get me another pair of those shoes? One in size 36 and one in size 37."
As soon as Zhou Jiajia entered the mall, she was like a child let loose, shopping wildly and spending without restraint.
Completely out of control.
Even though Shu Ran was used to her extravagant ways, she still found herself speechless every time.
"Thank you for visiting, please take care." With the sweet and enthusiastic voice of the sales assistant at the flagship store, the two left with their hands full of shopping bags.
Just as they stepped out the door, Shu Ran asked curiously, "Aren't you back together with Zheng Tong?"
Zhou Jiajia replied cheerfully, "Yes."
Shu Ran was even more puzzled. "Then why...?"
"I'm in a good mood, so I want to buy everything I see."
Zhou Jiajia's personal theory: when she's happy, she buys; when she's unhappy, she buys.
It's illogical.
Shu Ran could only smile helplessly.
"By the way, what happened between you and Qin Xian yesterday?" Zhou Jiajia suddenly remembered. "Goodness, I was so curious last night that I couldn't sleep at all."
Speaking of this, Shu Ran recalled her silly appearance when she woke up in the middle of the night, wanting to go to the bathroom but too scared to get up. A surge of anger rose within her as she indignantly recounted Qin Xian's misdeeds.
“Hahahahahaha…”
“How can you be so cute… you’re killing me with laughter.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Jiajia burst into loud laughter, her voice carrying even from twenty meters away.
“Shh…” Shu Ran raised her index finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet, and explained, “It’s not that I’m cute; it’s that Qin Xian is too childish. It’s ridiculous that he still tries to scare people at this age.”
“Haha, I just found out today that the formidable Young Master Qin also has such a rogue side.”
At this point, Zhou Jiajia gave her a meaningful glance and said, “Hey, do you think he might have a crush on you?”
Shu Ran shot her a glare and retorted, “Stop joking around.”
Zhou Jiajia playfully linked arms with her and continued browsing the mall.
As they were shopping, Zhou Jiajia suddenly stopped in her tracks. Shu Ran turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing that she didn’t answer, Shu Ran followed her gaze to the right.
In the exquisite window display of a brand-name women's clothing store hung a light purple long dress. The soft purple fabric was embroidered with a single rose, the only one, while a butterfly danced gracefully above it, as if it wanted to fly towards the rose, lively and vivid. A white ribbon was tied around the waist, perfectly complementing the light purple dress and making it impossible to look away.
Just one glance, and Zhou Jiajia was smitten.
With a clear goal in mind, she decided she had to buy that dress.
She pulled Shu Ran and pushed open the door of the shop.
Three minutes later, Shu Ran was nestled on the sofa, bending down to rub her sore ankles.
With a "thud," the fitting room door swung open.
Shu Ran looked up, her eyes lighting up.
The purple long dress wrapped around her graceful figure, showcasing her delicate and enchanting silhouette.
"How does it look?" Zhou Jiajia twirled around, the butterflies on the hem of the dress appearing vivid and fluttering.
"It looks great," Shu Ran nodded with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration. "It suits you very well."
Zhou Jiajia shyly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled sweetly, saying, "Then I'll go change."
"Okay."
After Zhou Jiajia changed clothes and handed the dress to the clerk, she was about to take out her credit card from her bag to pay.
At that moment, the door opened from the outside, and a woman walked in.
"Welcome."
Zhou Jiajia casually glanced towards the door, and upon seeing it, she exclaimed in surprise.
Isn't that Jiang Yihan?
When Zhou Jiajia saw her, Jiang Yihan also noticed her.
Their eyes met, and it was a case of enemies crossing paths.
Shu Ran sensed a subtle atmosphere in the store; she turned her gaze and focused.
Oh, standing at the door seems to be the former school beauty, Jiang Yihan.
She finally understood why the atmosphere felt so delicate...
The reason dates back to that year with Qin Xian.
That day marked the beginning of Shu Ran's friendship with Zhou Jiajia.
...
Shu Ran had a relatively strict upbringing.
Her parents instilled in her from a young age the idea of studying hard and striving for improvement. They wanted her to be a sensible and obedient child.
As Shu Ran grew up, she lived up to their expectations—studious, quiet, and well-behaved, she was the model student in her teachers' eyes.
At the age of 15, she entered He was still in School with the third-best score in the city on her entrance exam.
This was a private high school where students were either exceptionally talented or came from wealthy families.
Shu Ran was a day student; her home was not far from the school, just a ten-minute commute, and there was also a direct bus.
She was in Class 11 of Qin Xian, where there were no so-called elite classes at the time. Each class had a few top students, and the teaching quality was generally similar.
One day after school, after she finished cleaning the classroom and was about to take out the trash, she heard a group of girls shouting outside the classroom.
Curiosity got the better of her, and she peeked her head out of the classroom to see what was happening outside.
She saw a large group of girls in colorful clothes surrounding a tall girl.
One girl wearing blue leggings was angrily shouting, "Zhou Jiajia, who do you think you are? Just because you have a dad who's a mayor, what's so great about that?"
The girl called Zhou Jiajia coldly chuckled and replied in a teasing tone, "Oh, really? There's nothing impressive about it. But compared to your dad, who can't even become a mayor, I look much more impressive."
"You!" The girl was so infuriated by Zhou Jiajia's words that her face turned red, and she couldn't say another word.
At that moment, another girl stepped forward. With long, shiny black hair that reached her waist and a slender figure, she exuded an air of purity with every move. Her voice had a slight childish tone as she said, "Jia Jia, Xiyin spoke too harshly. I apologize on her behalf."
"But Jia Jia, I really have nothing to do with Zhang Feng. We are just ordinary friends. What happened at the party yesterday was because I drank too much. I hope you don't misunderstand; it makes me sad too."
Zhou Jiajia rolled her eyes at her and replied coldly, "Can you stop disgusting me, Jiang the School Beauty? Ordinary friends hugging and kissing each other late at night? Your tongues were out too, and you still say you were drunk. Come on, it's embarrassing to even listen to you."
Jiang Yihan's face turned pale as her lies were exposed, leaving her feeling awkward and ashamed. Yet she still put on a brave face and said, "Think whatever you want. I'm innocent anyway. But I advise you not to say such things in the future; it might bring trouble."
Zhou Jiajia felt a surge of anger rise within her. She hadn't said anything when you stole my boyfriend; he's just a scumbag anyway if you want him that badly. But now you're threatening me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?
