The basic structure of the shirt had been completed; it was only lacking buttons…
Gu Qingxin hadn’t found satisfactory buttons yet. Excellent quality shirts required equally exceptional buttons.
Gu Qingxin had taken a look at Beiming Han’s shirts before. All the buttons on his shirts were made of diamonds. Such luxury was beyond her affordability.
After school, Gu Qingxin dragged Bai Qianqian to the mall. Bai Qianqian seemed to be lost in deep thought.
“Qianqian, what happened?”
“Senior Rui Qing asked me out this week.”
Bai Qianqian was in agony. On one side was the senior she had admired for so long, and on the other side was his older brother. She really didn’t know what to do.
“What? That’s fantastic! Why are you even hesitating?” Gu Qingxin grabbed her wrist ecstatically, truly happy for her.
“No ‘buts’. You should definitely go! Qianqian, what’s actually holding you back? Aunt Zhou told me something the other day that I found enlightening. She said we should try our best for what we like, as even if we don’t succeed, we won’t regret trying. You can use this advice.”
Bai Qianqian was somewhat swayed by her friend’s words. That’s true, she never really tried. Was she supposed to simply give up on the senior she had loved for so many years?
“As it’s a date, you have to dress up. Let’s go. I’ll gift you new clothes. Wear it and glamourously meet your lover.” Gu Qingxin pulled the somewhat persuaded Bai Qianqian to the women’s department upstairs.
Gu Qingxin felt extremely guilty about Bai Qianqian being framed by Gu Yunci because of her and getting arrested. Now it was about Qianqian’s lifelong happiness; Gu Qingxin decided she would buy her an expensive dress.
While passing by a shop, Gu Qingxin was attracted by a light yellow dress worn by the mannequin in the window. She thought the dress would especially complement Bai Qianqian’s temperament.
“No way, it’s too expensive!” Bai Qianqian pulled back on her arm. Since the accident at her home, Bai Qianqian realized the importance of money and could not afford to waste it any longer.
“I already told you, it’s my gift. Can’t you see it’s on sale!” Gu Qingxin wouldn’t take no for an answer and pushed her into the store.
When Bai Qianqian came out of the fitting room, Gu Qingxin’s eyes lit up.
The light-yellow dress emphasized Bai Qianqian’s skin complexion even more, and the slightly puffy skirt made her look so fresh and adorable, like a bud that had just sprung on a tree branch.
“This dress complements this young lady’s temperament perfectly. I’ve never seen anyone wear it so beautifully,” praised the sales clerk.
“My, isn’t this Miss Gu and Miss Bai?”
An edgy voice rang out. Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian turned their heads towards the source of the sound, seeing Zhuang Chun and Gu Yunci walk in with several well-dressed women, each carrying Chanel and Givenchy bags.
“Chun Chun, you must be mistaken. I am now Miss Gu. She… well, she got swept out like yesterday’s garbage,”
Every time Gu Yunci looked at Gu Qingxin, she wished she could kill her. But in order to maintain her own image, she tolerated herself.
Hearing the shiny girls at the door talk, the sales clerk’s gaze towards Gu Qingxin and Bai Qianqian changed.
“Let me introduce you guys. This is Miss Bai, whose parents are on the brink of death in the hospital… and this is the expired Miss Gu… who’s being kept by an old and ugly man!” Zhuang Chun continued with her arrogant remarks..
