"Fool, do we need to be so polite between us?"

"Mianmian!"

"Okay, okay..." Jiang Mianmian knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise, so she smiled and said, "Then don't buy so many. I'll just pick one piece of clothing and one piece of shoes. Is that alright?"

Xia Zhi looked at her, a complex expression flashing across her face.

However, this abnormality lasted for less than two seconds before she became Jiang Mianmian's good friend again.

"Okay, whatever you want!" Xia Zhi said. "I said last year that I would give you a big birthday present this year. Although your birthday hasn't come yet, you can choose first. Anyway, we have plenty of time!"

"Mmm!" Jiang Mianmian smiled and picked out the items she liked, taking them into the fitting room.

Xia Zhi licked her lips, staring blankly in the direction of the fitting room, looking somewhat lost.

She also felt very guilty.

She touched the huge sapphire ring on her hand, then looked at her bag. The car keys were still hanging on it; the car logo on the keys was often seen as a symbol of wealth.

If it weren't for Jiang Mianmian... or rather, if it weren't for Lu Xiaoyou, she would never have gotten all of this.

Xia Zhi's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she clenched her fists tightly.

Just then, her phone rang; it was an unaddressed number.

She clearly recognized the number, and her expression instantly became unnatural.

She went outside to answer the call.

The man on the other end let out two cold laughs and lowered his voice, saying, "Miss Xia, did you enjoy your shopping trip?"

Xia Zhi suddenly looked up and glanced around, a chill running down her spine!

"Don't worry, we're all working for the master. Why would I cause you trouble?" The man snorted. "I'm in the square where you two were shopping. I want to meet you. The master has a few things he wants me to tell you in person!"

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "Okay... but you can't get too close to me, and after I finish speaking, I still have to take Mianmian shopping."

"Hahaha... What a deep sisterly bond!" the man scoffed. "Fine, I promise you. Five minutes from now, at the coffee shop on the basement level of the mall. It's a bit hidden. I'll just say a few words and leave!"

"I see."

"Oh, by the way," the man chuckled, "be careful with your money! Your best friend is smarter than you. If you spend too much, she might see through your act! If she takes it seriously and starts to challenge you, you'll be in trouble!"
