So Xu Yao took her brother's arm and said, "I'm not familiar with the capital city by myself, so I'd like to trouble my cousin to show me around."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jingzhi glanced at Nan Zhi and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, cousin."

Nanzhi waved her hand, "No trouble at all. My friends and I will take my cousin shopping together. It's more fun with more people."

Nan Zhi didn't have much affection for Xu Jingzhi, but she didn't dislike him either. He was cold to others, but he was genuinely warm to Xu Yao.

Moreover, she now knows that her mother is not a daughter of the Xu family, and these people may know this, which is why they are showing her coldness and rejection.

Xu Jingzhi simply told Xu Yao a lot about things she needed to pay attention to, and then left.

Nan Zhi and Lin Youyou arranged to meet on a commercial street in the capital.

After getting out of the car, Xu Yao saw Lin Youyou and Qin Xier, and a look of disdain flashed in her eyes. In her eyes, Nan Zhi's friends were just as lowly as others.

"Zhizhi, who is this?"

Lin Youyou whispered in Nanzhi's ear, looking at Xu Yao and asking, "This girl gives off a sparrow vibe, I don't like her at all."

"My cousin, let's take her to the city to play today."

Upon hearing that they were relatives of Nanzhi, Lin Youyou and Qin Xier became much more enthusiastic, "Hello, Cousin Zhizhi."

Lin Youyou greeted her with a smile, and Qin Xier smiled and waved back gently.

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Hello."

Although she was smiling on the surface, Xu Yao was inwardly disgusted and very unhappy with Nan Zhi's actions. She was determined to complain to Grandpa Shen when she got back today.

So what if you, Nan Zhi, are Shen Xingmian's girlfriend? One day, I will become Shen Xingmian's wife and stand before you openly and honestly.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao felt much better.

So, following behind Nan Zhi and the others, Lin Youyou pulled Nan Zhi along, while Qin Xi'er glanced at Xu Yao, who was lagging behind, and slowed down until she was walking parallel to Xu Yao.

"Your name is Xu Yao? Can I call you Yao Yao?"

Zhizhi's cousin, we must treat her well. This was Qin Xier's true thought. When Xu Yao heard Qin Xier's words, she couldn't help but look at her strangely. Was she so familiar with her?

She pursed her lips and said apologetically to Qin Xier:

"This is the name my family calls me. I'm really sorry, I'm not used to strangers calling me that."

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Qin Xi'er's face, but she quickly composed herself and said with a smile:

"It's alright, it's alright. I was being presumptuous, Miss Xu."

Although Nan Zhi was walking in front, she kept an eye on what was happening behind her. When she heard Xu Yao's explanation, a cold smile appeared on her lips. She turned her head and looked at Qin Xi'er with a smile, "Xi'er, you and Youyou go together. My cousin and I will follow behind you."

Qin Xi'er then took a few steps forward and walked hand in hand with Lin Youyou.

Nan Zhi stepped back and glanced at Xu Yao, saying, "My cousin is really particular."

Xu Yao glanced at her indifferently, "Our family has always been particular about these things. My cousin may not know our family rules. The Shen family is probably a family that is particularly particular about these things. Maybe you and your friend don't know that."

Upon hearing her explanation, Nanzhi smiled indifferently. Her words were full of superiority and condescension, subtly implying that the women were ignorant and petty.

That time in Yuecheng, Nanzhi and Xu Yao parted on bad terms. Actually, Nanzhi didn't want to accompany her, but she had already agreed to her grandfather's request. Changing her mind suddenly would put the old man in a difficult position.

"Zhizhi, let's go to the food court? There are so many shops in this alley."

Looking in the direction Lin Youyou pointed, there was a unique alley in Beijing, but it seemed to have just been built, and many new snack shops had already opened inside.

Just as Nan Zhi was about to nod, she heard Xu Yao speak with a hint of displeasure:

"How can we eat in a place like this? Besides, it's so messy inside, let's not go. If you want to eat, I'll take you to a Western restaurant."

Everyone: "......"

Lin Youyou immediately became unhappy, frowned, and retorted:

"Why can't we eat it? The food in Western restaurants can't compare to the delicious snacks here."

Then she stepped forward, grabbed Xu Yao, and dragged her into the alley, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to try it. You'll definitely like it."

She meant well, wanting Xu Yao to approve of what she liked.

However, Xu Yao angrily shook off Lin Youyou's hand, her face showing a hint of anger. "I'm not going, Nanzhi... Cousin, you're taking me out to play today, shouldn't you put me first? But look at your friends, they're forcing me to go to places I don't want to go, isn't that going too far?"

Xu Yao absolutely refused to go to such a place; it was incredibly noisy, filled with shouts and yells that she found unpleasant.

It's not so much that I dislike her, but rather that it's an insult to her status.

At this moment, Lin Youyou realized that she seemed to have caused trouble for Nanzhi, so she lowered her head and apologized:

"sorry."

Xu Yao glanced at her indifferently, her eyes filled with disdain.

Nan Zhi walked over to Lin Youyou, shook her hand, and said calmly:

"You don't need to apologize, Youyou. It's my fault for dragging you along to keep Xu Yao company."

"What do you mean? Do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Xu Yao's words made Nan Zhi raise an eyebrow. She looked up, her expression quite cold, "Xu Yao, you said it yourself."

Seeing that the two cousins ​​were arguing, Qin Xier quickly intervened to stop them:

"Zhizhi, Miss Xu, please stop arguing. Since we're here with Miss Xu today, let's hear her opinion."

Lin Youyou also realized that she and the other person had a conflict, and she echoed:

"Yes, Zhizhi, let's listen to Miss Xu's ideas and take her out to have some fun."

Hearing this, Xu Yao's expression softened, and she looked at Nan Zhi, "Cousin, I think your friend is right, you should listen to me."

Nan Zhi frowned slightly, but then, as if thinking of something, she lowered her head, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face:

"In that case, alright, cousin, how do you want to play?"

Seeing that all three had compromised, Xu Yao felt a surge of superiority and said with a grin:

"Then you'll take me to the most bustling place to buy clothes, shoes, and gifts, right? I've heard that Beijing has a wide variety of things, and I want to pick some out for my family to take back with me this time."

Xu Yao had already decided to buy a lot of things, so she asked these three people to help her carry them. Free labor, why not take advantage of it?

Nanzhi nodded, "Okay."

The four of them went to the most bustling and upscale shopping mall in the capital. There were very few people there; only some wealthy people would come to buy clothes. Ordinary people couldn't afford it. The cheapest item cost five figures, and the higher-end items cost six figures or more.
