Outside the store, Qiao Nian was standing by the elevator and using her cell phone. She kept her cell phone when she saw him coming.
âYouâve got them?â
âMm.â Ye Wangchuan had especially told the salesperson not to recommend anything to Fu Ge. He seemed to be in a good mood as he held the shopping bags and returned her bank card to her. â11,000 yuan in total.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Nian was shocked. She received the card but couldnât believe her own ears. âSo cheap?â
The last time she bought an independent designerâs clothes for him, two pieces had already cost her over 8,000 yuan. But this time, sheâd bought shirts, coats, and pants, a total of seven to eight pieces in total, and it only cost 11,000 yuan? Even discounts couldnât be this great.
She looked at him skeptically. âWe already had a deal that I was buying you guys clothes. You didnât fight me for the bill... but did you sneakily pay for it behind my backs?â
Ye Wangchuan handed her the receipt. âThe receiptâs here, you can have a look on your own.â
Qiao Nian took the receipt doubtfully and looked through each item. Each one cost over a thousand yuan.
It did cost 11,000 yuan in total.
His jawline was sleek, but his expression graceful. He had one arm by his side and appeared effortlessly elegant. He simply refused to take off the coat that Qiao Nian had picked for him earlier on. âThey were having a discount, buy one, get one free.â
âI still feel that itâs too cheap...â Qiao Nian looked at the receipt. It seemed real enough.
She even flipped over to see the back. Oh, it was real.
âYou bought from here previously, right? They said that the one you bought is a limited edition piece, and you were entitled to pick any one as an additional gift. Moreover, theyâre changing seasons now, and the older pieces are being sold at a low price. So, this is what it comes up to.â
Although Qiao Nian was still a little skeptical, she didnât want to think too much anymore, now that heâd said this. She pursed her lips and thought about the cost of the necklace, then looked up and said, âThen, letâs go elsewhere and shop some more. Iâll get you a watch.â
Gu San carried the bags and followed behind them.
He saw how his Master Wang was following behind Miss Qiao as they went to get more items and could feel a thumbs-up swelling in his heart.
Master Wang, what a lad!

At this point, Liang Heng was speeding to the Tang family.
The lights were on in the Tang household.
Old Madam Tang, Tang Qi, Tang Guosheng, and the rest were waiting in the living room.
He hurried over and went straight to Old Madam Tang once he entered.
âTeacher Tang, whatâs with that Qiao Nian? You told me that sheâs just an ordinary student and a child that the Tang family didnât care about since they didnât announce their reunion with her nor take her back to Beijing. But why is it that Iâve been hounded non-stop today?â
Tang Wei had been flustered the entire day. Sheâd activated every contact she knew and still had no idea what was going on. At this point, she was even more stressed out than he was, and her voice trembled when she asked, âBesides Mayor Yuan and Su Ting, who else?â
Liang Heng thought she knew, and said seriously, âThe Wei family of Beijing.
âThe Wei family didnât come for me directly, but they approached the people above me. I know that Vice-Head Xiao is rather close to the Wei family. He came to tell me this afternoon that I should not interfere with Zhao Jingweiâs matter anymore. Instead, if I apologize to Qiao Nian properly and sincerely, thereâs still room for negotiation.â
Tang Wei slumped into her seat, her brows furrowed on her exhausted face. âThat serious?â
Liang Heng was even more frustrated and flustered than she was. âMayor Yuan didnât even give me the chance to apologize. He got someone to investigate me right away! Thatâs why Iâm here to ask you, who exactly is Qiao Nian? Besides the Jiang family, does she know someone else? Does she perhaps have a friend by the surname Wei?â
