Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 77 Shopping_1
Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Shopping_1
"It’s alright. If it comes to that, I’ll help you comb your hair. I’ve often done such things before, HAHAHA," Shangguan Qing laughed lightly and indeed gently tidied her messy hair with his hands.
Once again, he took her by the hand and entered the elevator. Shangguan Rou looked at Shangguan Qing and Shangguan You with resentment, bitterly following behind them. I feel like I’m just Shangguan You’s sidekick! Shangguan Qing only has eyes for Shangguan You. I’m his sister too, so why won’t he even glance at me?
"Sister, let’s go check that place out." The resentment vanished from Shangguan Rou’s face. She affectionately took Shangguan You’s hand, refusing to let go no matter what. I’m not about to be the one trailing behind! Shangguan Qing frowned and involuntarily released Shangguan You’s hand. Holding Shangguan You’s hand alone is fine, he thought, but with Shangguan Rou joining in, it looks a bit improper, and I don’t want to attract unwanted attention. Naturally, he had to let go.
In the luxurious shopping district, brilliant lights made the entire floor exceptionally bright. This district housed the most famous designers, dressmakers, stylists, makeup artists, and jewelers; it encapsulated all aspects of design.
This was a symbol of status in Beijing, a symbol of wealth and power.
"Sir, Miss, welcome to our store," a beautiful shop assistant greeted them with her brightest smile as she ushered the trio in.
"Mm, we’ll just look around by ourselves," Shangguan Rou said, haughtily lifting her chin to the shop assistant.
"Sister, let me tell you, these people are the worst, following us around like flies. So annoying," Shangguan Rou quietly complained, though her eyes roamed everywhere. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she ran towards a boutique.
"Sister, come quick, this is Milan’s latest release!"
"Mm," Shangguan You responded indifferently, suppressing the irritation in her eyes, a smile playing on her lips as she watched Shangguan Rou enter a clothing store ahead.
"Let’s go, girl." Shangguan Qing shook his head, stretched out his large hand, and once again reached for Shangguan You’s hand. Shangguan You gave a little wave of her hand, lightly moving away. His movements are gentle, but it feels awkward when he takes my hand now.
"Brother Qing, Youyou has grown up. It might be better to link arms instead of holding hands," Shangguan You said with a light smile, avoiding Shangguan Qing’s hand and instead hooking her arm through his.
"Silly girl. In my eyes, you’re still that little girl. No matter how big you get, you’re still my girl," Shangguan Qing said with a chuckle, allowing Shangguan You to link arms with him as they walked towards Shangguan Rou.
Shangguan You giggled foolishly, her eyes growing even brighter as she looked at Shangguan Qing.
"So silly, you’re drooling. Are you so smitten with Brother Qing?" Shangguan Qing, seeing Shangguan You’s foolish grin, ruffled her hair again and teased her. Her silly grin is unexpectedly warming my heart.
"Mm-hmm, Brother Qing is the warmest person Youyou has ever seen," Shangguan You nodded and wiped her mouth.
"HAHAHA, let’s go." Shangguan Qing couldn’t help but laugh as he watched her wipe her mouth. I hadn’t expected such a big change in her in just half a year!
As they walked, they heard the sound of an argument from a distance. Shangguan Qing’s brows lifted slightly, and he paused, looking from afar at Shangguan Rou and another girl tussling over the same piece of clothing.
"Let go! I saw this dress first!"
"Why should I let go? I really like this dress, and I’m buying it."
"You, buying it? Can you afford it? Look at your poor appearance! Even selling yourself wouldn’t be enough to afford it. Let go, country bumpkin!"
"You’re the country bumpkin! Have you even looked at that rag you’re wearing? Clearly broke, yet you dare to act like a young lady. You think I’ll be scared of you? My cousin has money to burn. Anything I want, he’ll buy for me. So don’t let go, and you’ll offend me. You’ll regret it!"
"Haha! This is the biggest joke I’ve ever heard. Look at your own shabby self! That dress you’re wearing is last year’s style, and you have the cheek to wear it out here? This place isn’t for country bumpkins like you. You can come in, sure, but that dress on you... do you think you’re worthy?"
Shangguan Rou’s voice was filled with sarcasm, and her eyes dripped with disdain. I set my eyes on this dress the moment I saw it, and I have to have it! A light blue, rhinestone-studded winter dress was clutched in both their hands, neither willing to let go.
"Ladies, we have plenty of new styles in store," the beautiful shop assistant said, trying to mediate. A headache was forming. We can’t afford to offend anyone who shops here. People who frequent this place value their status. Even if they set their sights on the same item, they wouldn’t brawl like these two young ladies in public!
"Shut up!"
Both girls roared at the same time and then glared fiercely at each other.
Upon hearing their conversation, Shangguan You suddenly felt a headache. I can’t believe I encountered them yesterday, and now again while shopping! It seems I’m truly fated to clash with the Shen family. The girl arguing with Shangguan Rou was none other than Shen Jia.
Their squabble had attracted quite a crowd, with more and more onlookers pointing and whispering.
Feeling the unusual stares from the people around her, Shangguan Rou’s face flushed with annoyance, and she shouted.
"Let go, country bumpkin!"
"I won’t! I saw this dress first," Shen Jia fired back. Why should I let go? I like this dress just as much!
"What’s going on, Jia?" Duan Mei, with bags in her hand, appeared behind Shen Jia, accompanied by Shen Congshan.
"Daddy, Mommy, Jia likes this dress," Shen Jia said, her eyes reddening. She didn’t let go of the dress, her voice filled with grievance.
"Hmph, I was the first one to see this dress," Shangguan Rou snorted.
"Jia, let go," Duan Mei ordered sharply, urging Shen Jia to release her hold.
"Mommy," Shen Jia spoke with reluctance, finally letting go unwillingly. Shangguan Rou looked at Shen Jia’s face, twisted with grievance, feeling an unexplainable sense of triumph. To think she would dare battle with me. In your dreams!
