Chapter 398: A Good Show Unfolds in the Business World

When Wang Shufen met Xie Zheng's gaze, she was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something.

Her eyes suddenly lit up as she looked at Xie Zheng, trying to confirm with her eyes whether he meant what she thought.

Xie Zheng remained nonchalant and irresponsible. He said to Gu Xiaoyue, "Xiaoyue, let's go shopping and see if there's anything interesting to see."

Gu Xiaoyue is Xie Zheng's biggest fan. Since her brother Xie Zheng finally agreed to take her out shopping, she does whatever he says.

Although she didn't understand why Xie Zheng had turned into this roast chicken shop, she didn't ask any questions. She just happily replied, "Okay, Brother Zheng."

Xie Zheng leisurely led Gu Xiaoyue out of the roast chicken shop, and Wang Shufen couldn't sit still any longer.

She urged Lu Ya, who was still gnawing on chicken, "Xiao Ya, we should go now."

Lu Ya glanced at Xie Zheng and Gu Xiaoyue leaving through the door and snorted, "Mom, let's not go with them."

Why don't we go together?

Lu Ya rolled her eyes, and said with disdain, "I get angry just looking at Xie Zheng. Does he have no shame at all?"

Wang Shufen rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "What did they do to you?"

Lu Ya snorted, "He kept saying he couldn't forget Gu Xiaowei and that he would never get married, but in the blink of an eye he was out partying with Gu Xiaoyue. I bet he's fallen for Gu Xiaoyue. What a scumbag."

As a woman with a strong romantic mind, Lu Ya couldn't stand Xie Zheng, a playboy.

"His affairs have nothing to do with us."

Wang Shufen was extremely anxious, fearing that if she arrived too late, the despicable couple would leave the mall.

Xie Zheng must have seen something, so he deliberately came in to inform them.

For this alone, she was grateful to Xie Zheng for the rest of her life.

He may seem unreliable, but he's actually more warm-hearted than anyone else.

Of course, it's also possible that he's doing it to make money off her.

Regardless of the reason, his act of helping them makes him a benefactor to their family.

Wang Shufen didn't give Lu Ya a chance to continue eating. She grabbed her and said firmly, "Come on, I'm going to buy your cousin-in-law some clothes. I think Gu Xiaoyue and Bai Zhi are about the same size, so I'll ask Gu Xiaoyue to help you try on the clothes."

Lu Ya grumbled discontentedly, "How does Gu Xiaoyue resemble my cousin's figure? Wait, why did you buy her clothes?"

"She saved my life, shouldn't I buy her some clothes?"

"My cousin and I are about the same size and height, so why let someone like Gu Xiaoyue try on clothes?"

Lu Ya had met Gu Xiaoyue when she was a child, but they rarely saw each other after Gu Xiaoyue's family moved away.

This time, Gu Xiaoyue accompanied her mother back to Nancheng to pay respects to her sister. Originally, Gu Xiaoyue felt quite sorry for the mother and daughter.

But after seeing Gu Xiaoyue following behind Xie Zheng several times, calling him "Brother Zheng" affectionately, she began to dislike Gu Xiaoyue.

That was her deceased sister's boyfriend.

If her sister were alive, Xie Zheng would be her brother-in-law.

The way she followed Xie Zheng around, calling him so affectionately, made it obvious to anyone with eyes to what she really wanted from him.

Lu Ya couldn't help but think of the plot of the martial arts novel she had read last year.

Gu Xiaoyue's behavior is just like the plot in the novel.

The sister-in-law has taken a liking to her deceased sister's husband and keeps pestering him to take care of her.

That's utterly morally corrupt.

"Gu Xiaoyue's height is more similar to your cousin's."

Without saying a word, Wang Shufen dragged Lu Ya directly to the mall.

Lu Ya mentally complained, but her legs kept up with her mother's pace.

She secretly planned that if she saw Xie Zheng buying clothes for Gu Xiaoyue later, she would definitely go over and make fun of him.

She still held a grudge against Xie Zheng for deliberately making things difficult for and mocking Li Wei last time.

We're going to teach them a lesson today.

Once inside the mall, the mother and daughter began looking around for their target.

Wang Shufen's gaze lingered on the clothing section, and her eyes lit up.

He was about to pull Lu Ya along and rush over.

Just then, a tremendous force pulled Lu Ya's arm.

Who is it? What do you want?

Lu Ya looked up, her eyes falling into those long, narrow phoenix eyes.

"Shhh."

Lu Ya looked at Xie Zheng's handsome face so closely that her breath suddenly stopped.

"What...what are you doing?"

Xie Zheng gave a wicked smile, "Don't make a sound yet, let's watch the show."

He looked at Lu Ya and said, "Calm down, I'll show you whether your partner is a human or a ghost." "Look over there."

...

Over here, Gu Xiaoyue, wearing a mask, looked arrogantly at the girl wearing an orange cotton-padded jacket and scolded her, "I want this jacket, take it off."

Li Wei looked at her with an unfriendly expression and tried to reason with her, "Excuse me, miss, we saw this dress first, please don't try to take it from us."

Gu Xiaoyue scoffed, "Who says you have to sell to her just because you've set your sights on her? I've got my eye on her too."

She commanded sternly, "Take it off."

"Don't be unreasonable."

Zhang Qiuhua, who was trying on new clothes, looked at Li Wei with a pitiful expression, naturally having no intention of taking off her clothes.

"What's wrong with us not taking our clothes off?" Li Wei stood in front of Zhang Qiuhua to protect her and argued with Gu Xiaoyue.

Gu Xiao glanced at Li Wei sideways, sizing him up. "Oh, who are you to her? What's your relationship with her?"

Li Wei pulled Zhang Qiuhua into his arms with a very manly air, saying, "I'm her boyfriend. If you want to steal my boyfriend's clothes, you'll have to see if I agree."

Gu Xiaoyue's lips curled slightly, a disdainful look in her eyes, as she retorted, "Boyfriend? How can you prove you're her boyfriend?"

Her mocking gaze pierced Li Wei's already fragile and insecure nerves.

He straightened his back, tossed his parted hair, and declared magnanimously, "I'll buy her clothes and spend money on her."

Gu Xiaoyue looked at his expression and got even more excited. "Look at your poor appearance, how much money do you have?" "Anyway, it's more than enough to support my partner."

After Li Wei finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Qiuhua, whom he was holding in his arms, and said, "You agree, right, Qiuhua?"

Gu Xiaoyue blinked her eyes, looking at Zhang Qiuhua expectantly, waiting for Zhang Qiuhua's response.

Zhang Qiuhua's strong protection, coupled with Gu Xiaoyue's solitary presence on the other side, made her feel very safe and superior.

She looked at Gu Xiaoyue with a smug expression, "He treats me very well. He provides for all my needs, from food and clothing to daily necessities."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoyue looked on with envy and clapped her hands twice, exclaiming, "Wow, I'm so envious!"

After she finished speaking, her expression returned to seriousness. "However, I still absolutely have to buy this dress."

Zhang Qiuhua looked at Li Wei with teary eyes.

Li Wei was heartbroken.

He put his arm around her shoulder and gently comforted her, "Qiuhua, don't cry, I'll think of something."

He could tell from the girl wearing a mask that she wasn't someone to mess with, so he didn't confront her directly. Instead, he went up to her and reasoned with her, "Miss, we did see this coat first. There has to be a first-come, first-served rule, right? My girlfriend really likes this down jacket. Could you please let us have it?"

Gu Xiaoyue crossed her arms and said firmly, "No way."

Li Wei: "I can give you ten yuan."

"hehe."
