Chapter 39

“Xinru…” The fat girl called out aggrievedly.

Qu Xinru said coldly to Zhang Lian, “Let’s go.” She looked at Qu Ling’er with hatred and turned to leave the shop. She had wanted to teach Qu Ling’er a lesson, but she ended up looking like this. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was especially furious with the two girls behind her—they were in such a sorry state—just looking at them annoyed her.

The short-haired girl gritted her teeth and said, “Xinru, are you going to let her off just like that?”

Qu Xinru had been holding it in. At the mere mention of it, she exploded. “You still have the cheek to ask? Not only did the two of you not win the fight—she was fine—but the two of you ended up like this. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought that the two of you had a grudge and used this opportunity to hit each other!”

How infuriating!

The short-haired girl was speechless. She did not know why she had tried so hard to scratch Qu Ling’er, but ended up hurting her companion instead. She bit her lip and said, “I’ll find some guys later. I can’t take this lying down!”

Qu Xinru looked at her and did not say anything. The short-haired girl immediately understood that this was a tacit agreement. She quickly took out her cell phone and began gathering a few hooligans to teach Qu Ling’er a lesson.

…

After Qu Xinru left with her sidekicks, Qu Ling’er came out of the shop. Even though the dress she tried on earlier was not bad, Xia Tian did not buy it. When Qu Xinru said that she would compensate for the losses in the shop, the shop assistants immediately retreated to the side. She would not buy from such a shop!

“I won’t buy clothes from this shop in future. They have no morals at all!” Xia Tian declared angrily.

Jiang Wei said awkwardly, “Yes…” After all, she was the one who recommended this shop.

Trying to defuse the awkwardness in the air, Li Meng said, “Let’s continue shopping. Shall we have dinner tonight? I’ll treat you guys, okay?”

Jiang Wei agreed. “Okay, I want to eat barbecue and hotpot. What about you guys?”

Xia Tian nodded. “These two are my favorites. Either one is fine.”

Qu Ling’er fell silent.

Xia Tian quickly asked, “Ling’er, what about you?”

Qu Ling’er was thinking that Luo Yichen was still waiting for her to go back and cook dinner—she could not abandon him. After hesitating for a moment, she smiled and said, “I still have something on tonight, so I won’t be going for dinner.”

“Huh?” Xia Tian pouted and said, “Ling’er, even if you have something to do, you still have to eat, right? You can go after eating!”

Qu Ling’er shook her head, “No, I promised my friend that we would have dinner together tonight.”

“Friend? A man or a woman?” Jiang Wei asked curiously. “Are you really in love?”

“No,” Qu Ling’er denied. “It’s a Brother who has helped me a lot recently.”

“Brother? Is it a date?” Jiang Wei smiled and teased, “Then you have to be careful when you eat with him. Don’t drink! Other than my Brother Chen, no other men in this world can be trusted!”

“Huh? Brother Chen?” Qu Ling’er was confused.

Jiang Wei explained with a smile, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s been obsessed with Luo Yichen from day one—she talks about him every day!”

“My Brother Chen is great!” Li Meng said with an infatuated expression. “Look at the entire entertainment industry—you can’t find a celebrity like my Brother Chen. He’s focused on his work and doesn’t have any scandals or hype. He can clearly rely on his looks to make a living, but he chooses to rely on his abilities. What do you say?”

Jiang Wei laughed. “Yes, yes, yes. Your Brother Chen is the best!”

Qu Ling’er: “…” If they knew that she was going to cook for their Brother Chen, would she be beaten up?

At the mention of Luo Yichen, Xia Tian became excited too. “Why don’t we go watch Brother’s movie after dinner tonight? It’ll be released today. How about that?”

Li Meng hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay!”

Jiang Wei said helplessly, “Don’t know how many scenes your Brother has in this new movie. Perhaps the movie was hyped up by the film company because he won an award!”

“I don’t care!” Jiang Wei blinked at Li Meng. “Even if Brother only has one second of screen time, I still want to see it. I’ll buy a ticket now!”

Jiang Wei: “…” Brainless fans were really hopeless!

Qu Ling’er was also a little surprised. Was Luo Yichen actually so popular? She only knew that Luo Yichen’s movie was very popular this year, but she did not expect him to be so popular.

“Qu Ling’er, do you have idols?” Jiang Wei asked when she saw Qu Ling’er’s calm demeanor.

Jiang Wei thought that people who were obsessed with idols were abnormal. She hoped that Qu Ling’er was like her—normal.

“Huh? No, I don’t.” Qu Ling’er shook her head.

Jiang Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
