Chapter 87 This is the way of human relationships.

Now that her aunt had no reason to cause trouble, she stared at Qiao Xing for a while, and finally plopped down on the sofa, crossed her arms, and pretended to watch TV.

It was obvious that the aunt was in charge of the household, and both Wang Ye and his uncle were somewhat afraid of her.

It wasn't appropriate for Qiao Xing to stay there any longer, so she made an excuse to her uncle, saying that she had something to do at her company, and left.

Seeing this, Wang Ye was about to chase after her, but Lily stopped him, saying, "I'll go."

Wang Ye thought about it and agreed. After all, one was his cousin and the other was his mother, so whatever he said would be wrong.

It's most suitable for Lily to go.

As soon as Qiao Xing went downstairs, she heard Lily calling her from behind.

She stopped and turned around to see Lily walking towards her. "Lily, thank you for earlier."

Lily brushed her hair aside. "Don't mention it. I need you to help me look at wedding dresses tomorrow."

Lily was all smiles, and genuinely happy. She had done Qiao Xing such a big favor; it was only right that she felt indebted to him.

This favor is no small matter. Qiao Xing will remember it without her saying it. Saying it out loud would only make people feel uncomfortable. That's just how it is with human relationships.

Qiao Xing forced a smile and nodded, "Okay, I'm moving tomorrow, probably in the afternoon. If you're not in a hurry, I can go with you the day after tomorrow."

“I’m not in a hurry, so let’s do it the day after tomorrow. But what Auntie did was really unethical. Even I couldn’t stand it. You’re so good-natured. If it were me, I would have called the police long ago.”

Qiao Xing didn't speak. She didn't want to go that far. Her aunt was different from Lin Yu. Lin Yu and his family had never given her a kind look, so she had no qualms about suing Lin Yu.

Her aunt is different; she also has her cousin and uncle. If she were to call the police, there would probably be a rift between her and her cousin. At least for now, they are still on her side.

"Alright, don't be too upset. That's how people are. Everything else is fake, only money is real. Ninety percent of the troubles in this world are because of money, and the remaining ten percent are because they don't have enough money."

Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. She glanced at Lily, who seemed to be joking, but not quite.

Qiao Xing always believed that a person's goodness or badness must be related to their experiences. He didn't know what Lily had gone through to say such a thing and to regard it as a truth.

There is some truth to that.

"Maybe," Qiao Xing reluctantly agreed.

Qiao Xing's feelings are also complicated. She really wants to help Wang Ye. If the money were hers, and if she weren't married, she would lend it to Wang Ye.

But 200,000 of that was Qin Ce's betrothal gift, and she married Qin Ce for that 200,000. She couldn't let Qin Ce keep squeezing in with them for Wang Ye's sake.

After all, she said when they got married that the house was hers, and Qin Ce thought it was just the two of them living there.

Now that the whole family lives here, she's still using his money to subsidize her relatives; it just doesn't make sense.

It's only because Qin Ce has a good temper; if it were Lin Yu, who knows what kind of trouble he would have caused.

Lily didn't chat with her much, just said a few words and went back.

Qiao Xing finally managed to get a day off today, but her mood was extremely bad. She ate a bowl of noodles outside for lunch and then rode her electric bike to Qin Ce's company.

She strolled around the vicinity of his company. This was Chongqing's CBD, the economic development hub. The buildings here were magnificent and imposing, but Qiao Xing never dared to explore them in detail whenever she came.

Standing here, she felt like a stray dog, completely out of place in this high-class environment.

It is said that the average annual salary of people working here is one million yuan, so the prices are much higher than in other places. You can find clothes in any store in the mall that start at tens of thousands of yuan.

However, Qiao Xing had never been there before. Since she had nothing to do, she casually went to the mall to browse around and broaden her horizons.

This shopping mall sells only high-end brands. Qiao Xing casually picked up a tag and saw it cost 28,000 yuan!

She was so frightened that she put it back immediately.

"Miss, don't you like anything? You can take a look at other styles."

The sales assistant was very enthusiastic and didn't look down on her for wearing cheap clothes from Taobao. As expected, big department stores are different.

Qiao Xing waved her hand, "Never mind, I can't afford it."

The shop assistants were surprised by her directness and laughed somewhat awkwardly, but speaking to different people in different ways is a basic sales skill.

"Then you can take your time looking around. Clothes are selective, and you might find something that suits you and want to buy it."

"I'll come again next time." Qiao Xing felt that if she listened to her say a few more words, her wallet would be in danger.

In the past, whenever she encountered such enthusiastic shop assistants, she would try on several outfits and feel embarrassed to buy one even if she didn't like it.

But the prices here were simply too much for her to bear.

"Okay, welcome back next time."

Just as Qiao Xing was about to leave, a familiar person suddenly walked in through the door, and Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment.

The person who arrived was none other than Fang Ya, whom I had met twice before.

She was shopping with another girl, carrying bags and packages. Fang Ya saw Qiao Xing when she entered the store.

"Hey? It's you!" Fang Ya was surprised for a moment, then quickly walked up to Qiao Xing. "You're here to buy clothes too?"

Qiao Xing suddenly regretted coming in.

She smiled and said, "No, I'm just looking around."

"Sure, the clothes here aren't expensive. Haven't decided which one to buy yet? I can help you choose." Fang Ya was very enthusiastic, but Qiao Xing knew that she had ulterior motives.

That kind of tactic of directly mocking you for not being able to afford it is too low. Fang Ya is trying to make her admit that she doesn't have the money to buy it.

"No need, I don't like any of these." Qiao Xing shook her head, not wanting to get entangled with her. "You guys take your time shopping, I'm leaving now."

Fang Ya quickly grabbed her, "Why are you running away? I'm not going to eat you. I see you're all alone, why don't you come shopping with us?"

"Really, it's not necessary. I have something to do later. You guys go ahead and shop."

"There's no rush. Why don't you help me pick out a couple of outfits? I'm having trouble deciding what styles to buy." Fang Ya still had no intention of letting her leave.

Qiao Xing said, "My taste is no match for yours. You might not even like the ones I choose."

"I'm buying this for Lin Yu. I don't know what style he likes or his size. Can you just help me out?"

Qiao Xing's eyelids twitched. She didn't know if Fang Ya was showing off her wealth or that Lin Yu had found someone better than her.

Qiao Xing stared at Fang Ya for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll help you choose."

"That's right, come on."

Fang Ya pulled her out directly and they arrived at a men's clothing store. Qiao Xing didn't waste any words and went inside to start looking around.

She wasn't looking at the style, she was looking at the price.

Lin Yu would definitely be very happy to wear something worth 50,000 or 80,000, but I wonder if Fang Ya would be happy.

After Qiao Xing took four or five items, Fang Ya's expression started to look off.
