More than half a month later, Zhang Xiuxiu asked Song Lingge to go shopping.

"I finally got a holiday, and I thought I'd be all alone all day. I never expected to be able to ask you out by yourself. That's really rare!" Zhang Xiuxiu teased with a smile.

Since leaving the Zhao family last time, Qiao Nansheng has not been as frequent as before.

Even when he goes on dates with Song Lingge, he only dares to meet outside, unlike before when he would spend almost all his time at the Zhao family home except for sleeping at night.

This freed up a lot of time for Song Lingge, which is why she was able to come alone today when Zhang Xiuxiu invited her.

"School's about to start, how long are your tutoring sessions going to last?" Song Lingge asked.

"It'll be over in a few days, finally we're free. It's a rare treat to relax today, so let's not talk about this. I'm so annoyed tutoring kids every day." Zhang Xiuxiu's tutoring class is for a naughty child, and Song Lingge has heard her complain about it many times.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. To celebrate your upcoming escape from this misery, all expenses today are on me, okay?" Song Lingge said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite!" With a rich friend like Song Lingge, of course I have to take advantage of her!

On a hot summer afternoon, the girls' desire to go shopping remained undiminished.

Zhang Xiuxiu suddenly pointed excitedly to a spot not far away and said, "Lingge, look! That...over there, do you see it? Isn't that pink shirt pretty?"

Following Zhang Xiuxiu's pointing, Song Lingge saw a mannequin in the shop window wearing a pink shirt.

"It looks great, it suits you perfectly. Why don't you go try it on!"

Zhang Xiuxiu immediately became embarrassed: "Let's forget it. Pink seems too delicate. I'm about to start my internship, so it doesn't seem appropriate to wear something like this."

Song Lingge knew she was worried about the money, so she went behind her and pushed her, saying, "You haven't tried it on yet, how do you know it won't suit you? If it looks good, I'll buy it for you. If it doesn't, we'll go to another store. Anyway, I'll definitely buy you a set today."

"No need, I was just joking. How could I let you spend money on clothes? Just treat me to a meal."

As Song Lingge linked arms with her and walked towards the shop, she said with a smile, "We need to eat, and we need to buy clothes. But it's not really my money."

Zhang Xiuxiu was stunned and looked at Song Lingge with a puzzled expression.

"It's like this. You've been tutoring my cousin for a while now, and he said he wanted to thank you. But you wouldn't accept his tuition, so he asked me to help him choose an outfit. I think we should just pick out a nice outfit today."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiuxiu immediately stopped in her tracks and refused to move.

Tutoring Chen Bingfeng was purely to help a friend; how could I possibly accept money?

Song Lingge raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "My cousin gave me all the money, so I won't give it back to him if you don't buy this gift. Are you sure you don't want it?"

Zhang Xiuxiu frowned and punched Song Lingge: "Well, you're threatening me."

"How is this a threat? He passed the exam thanks to your tutoring, so it's only right that he gives you a gift. Don't be shy!" Song Lingge continued to encourage her, linking her arm with his.

Zhang Xiuxiu reluctantly followed Song Lingge into the women's clothing store.

"Excuse me, may I try on that dress?" Zhang Xiuxiu asked, holding a pink shirt, as she followed the sales assistant to the fitting room to change.

Song Lingge waited outside, taking the opportunity to see if there were any dresses that could be paired together.

"Lingge, I'm all changed."

Upon hearing Zhang Xiuxiu's voice, Song Lingge immediately went over, only to unexpectedly bump into another person.

"It really is you! What a small world!" Zhou Songmei said disdainfully.

Song Lingge didn't answer, but just rolled her eyes at her, as if she wanted to see someone.

Seeing Song Lingge's cold attitude, Zhou Songmei instinctively wanted to provoke her.

However, Song Lingge found that the store was eerily quiet at this moment.

Zhou Songmei wasn't usually a quiet person; she'd seize any opportunity to cause trouble for her. But at this moment, everyone in the clothing store fell silent, including the sales assistants and some other customers.

Zhang Xiuxiu and Jiang Yunlan walked out of different fitting rooms together, but both of them were wearing the same pink shirt.

The delicate pink color looked stunning on Zhang Xiuxiu, who was as beautiful as a flower in bloom.

However, Jiang Yunlan's attire was particularly... eye-catching.

When she first chose this dress, the sales assistant subtly suggested that she might want to change the color, but Jiang Yunlan was stubborn. Who doesn't have a pink girlish dream?

Even Zhou Songmei, who came along, didn't offer any suggestions. She, a sales assistant, was just bored and went looking for trouble.

So this dress didn't suit Jiang Yunlan, and surprisingly, no one pointed it out.

But at this moment, with such a stark contrast and the pointing and whispering of the strangers, Jiang Yunlan couldn't bear the embarrassment.

She genuinely loved the pink shirt, but the more she loved it, the more she now hated Zhou Songmei.

That's right, she is a fairly reasonable person and wouldn't take her anger out on strangers for no reason; she would only take it out on Zhou Songmei.

Fang Guanghua asked Zhou Songmei to take her shopping, and this is how she treats herself? She's dressed so fashionably herself, can't she tell whether Jiang Yunlan looks good in this outfit or not?

"This outfit suits you well; it makes you look even healthier."

The silence was too awkward, so Zhang Xiuxiu's sales assistant spoke up at the opportune moment.

However, although Zhang Xiuxiu really liked the dress, seeing a woman almost twice her age wearing the same dress didn't make her happy that she looked good; instead, she felt even more embarrassed.

"It seems a little tight, I'll take another look." Zhang Xiuxiu immediately retreated back into the fitting room.

"How do I look dressed?" Jiang Yunlan suddenly asked.

“It’s fine,” Zhou Songmei said.

"Not very good," Song Lingge said.

Both men spoke at the same time.

Jiang Yunlan knows perfectly well whether her outfit looks good or not.

She asked the question casually, and besides, she wanted Zhou Songmei to pay for it regardless of whether it looked good or not.

"Who is it?" Jiang Yunlan raised her voice. She didn't expect there to be such a clueless person who would say to her face that someone's clothes didn't look good. What business is it of his whether they look good or not?

Zhou Songmei couldn't hide her secret joy.

She had already witnessed Jiang Yunlan's shabby ways back in high school, and now it was time for Song Lingge to experience it for herself.

So after Jiang Yunlan asked the question, Zhou Songmei nodded towards Song Lingge at the opportune moment.

When Jiang Yunlan and Song Lingge started arguing in public, it was truly hilarious.

"This dress is quite nice, but it really doesn't suit you." Song Lingge has never experienced hardship, yet she still keeps offering her critiques.

Zhou Songmei couldn't help but get excited.
