The two strolled around the mall, and finally Huo Fanxi pulled Ji Fuling into a women's clothing store.

"Here, try this on and see how it looks."

Huo Fanxi picked out a light blue dress and handed it to Ji Fuling with great satisfaction.

Ji Fuling took a look and her expression immediately became somewhat subtle. "Sister Fanxi, the one you picked... isn't it a bit too hot?"

The dress is actually quite simple in style, but it features a deep V-neck in the front, a lace cutout design on the back, and a high slit in the skirt, emphasizing a sexy and alluring look.

Huo Fanxi raised an eyebrow. "It should be hot, that's what it means. With a figure like yours, it would be a waste not to dress like this."

Ji Fuling: "..."

"Quick, go try them on. Trust my taste."

After saying that, Huo Fanxi pushed Ji Fuling directly into the fitting room.

Ji Fuling had no choice but to change into the dress.

When she came out of the fitting room after changing, Huo Fanxi's eyes lit up, and he rushed up to her and circled around her.

"Lingling, I knew you'd look amazing in this dress! It's the perfect blend of sexiness and elegance! It's absolutely stunning!"

"Sister Fanxi, do you have to go to such extremes?"

Ji Fuling was amused by her slightly exaggerated tone.

"I'm just telling the truth, I'm not exaggerating at all."

As he spoke, Hovanxi turned to look at the sales assistants beside him, "If you don't believe me, ask these ladies."

Several sales assistants nodded in approval.

"Miss, your friend is telling the truth. You do look very beautiful and elegant in this dress."

"Yes, you already have a great figure, and this dress makes your curves and charm even more apparent!"

"..."

Just as the sales assistants were showering the customers with praise, two people walked into the store.

It was Ji Xinqi and her best friend Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang pointed in the direction where the sales assistants were gathered and said to Ji Xinqi beside her, "Hey, Qiqi, look over there, that woman in the light blue dress, her figure is amazing! I wish I had a figure like hers!"

Ji Xinqi looked in the direction she was pointing and was also amazed. She was about to nod in agreement when she looked closer and realized that the person was actually Ji Fuling.

Her expression changed drastically, and she sneered, "What's so good about that? You call that kind of figure good? Ru Shuang, you must have something wrong with your eyes. I think you should go to the hospital to get checked out!"

Liu Rushuang felt something was off about Ji Xinqi's tone, so she looked more closely at the figure in floral blue.

When she recognized the person as Ji Fuling, she immediately changed her tone, deliberately raising her voice to mock, "Who do we have here? It's our famous Miss Ji the Second!"

"Oh no! He should be called a dissolute person!"

"I don't know how she has the nerve to come back to Yuncheng and parade around like that. If I were her, I would have found a secluded place to hang myself long ago. How could I have the face to come out and embarrass myself like this!"

Hearing the sarcastic remarks directed at her, Ji Fuling's expression darkened slightly, and she slowly turned around.

Upon noticing Ji Xinqi and Liu Rushuang, she curled her red lips into a cold smile and said slowly, "Cousin, did you hear that? The one next to you is indirectly criticizing you for being promiscuous and telling you to hang yourself instead of making a fool of yourself."

"you!"

Ji Xinqi's face instantly turned ugly, and she glared at Ji Fuling with furious teeth.

That damn bitch is clearly reminding her of the rumors that she slept with two old men at the charity gala!

When this incident was reported by the media, many people online said she was dissolute and stuck that label on her!

She only dared to show her face after things had calmed down a bit, and this bitch still dared to bring it up again!

Liu Rushuang suddenly realized what was happening and quickly explained to Ji Xinqi, "Qiqi, I didn't mean that. Ji Fuling is just trying to sow discord. You can't believe her..."

Ji Fuling was too lazy to waste words with the two of them, so she turned to Huo Fanxi and said, "I'm going to change my dress. Wait for me."

After saying that, she walked towards the fitting room.

Ji Xinqi watched her retreating figure, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes.

Ever since that bitch came back, nothing has gone right for her; nothing has gone her way.

If she's not having a good time, then this bitch won't be having a good time either!

Driven by jealousy, Ji Xinqi suddenly reached out, as if to tear Ji Fuling's dress off.

However, before she could even touch Ji Fuling, her hand was grabbed tightly and twisted backward.

"ah--"

"My hand, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts..."

Ji Xinqi let out a scream, her face even more pale than before.

She glared at the person holding her hand, gritting her teeth as she said, "Where did this bitch come from! Why are you meddling in my business? You'd better let go of me right now, or you'll regret it!"

Hearing the noise, Ji Fuling turned around and saw Huo Fanxi twisting Ji Xinqi's hand behind her back. She immediately guessed that Ji Xinqi must be up to some despicable trick behind her back again.

"That bastard tried to pull your skirt, but I caught him red-handed."

Huo Fanxi explained something to Ji Fuling, then turned and glared at Ji Xinqi, tightening his grip on her hand and saying coldly, "You dare to touch my Lingling?"

"If you want to bully her, ask me, her older sister, first!"

"Ahhh... Let go, let go, my hand is about to break..."

Ji Xinqi screamed repeatedly, her face turning pale and contorted with pain.

Ji Fuling watched her scream in pain with a blank expression.

Huo Fanxi snorted coldly and scolded, "What are you yelling about? Your hand is so cheap, you deserve to have it broken!"

Liu Rushuang, watching this scene from the side, suddenly felt a little scared.

She wanted to help but didn't dare, so she could only stand aside and stammer out a threat, "You, you better not do anything rash, let go of Qiqi right now, or I'll call the police!"

"Ru Shuang! Why are you still wasting your breath talking to them!"

Ji Xinqi was in so much pain that tears were about to stream down her face. She gritted her teeth and roared, "Call the police! Let them arrest them and put them in jail!!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushuang immediately took out her phone to dial.

Huo Fanxi raised his leg and delivered a sweeping kick, accurately knocking the phone out of Liu Ru's hands.

"Smack—"

The phone fell to the ground and shattered into pieces instantly.

Liu Rushuang was startled, her face turning ashen. "You...you...you..."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'get lost' if you don't want to get beaten up!"

Huo Fanxi rebuked her sharply, and Liu Rushuang cowered and took a step back, not daring to utter another sound.

Ji Xinqi cursed Liu Rushuang in her heart for being useless. Then, enduring the pain, she used her other hand to take out her phone, intending to call the police herself.

Seeing this, Ji Fuling couldn't help but sneer, "Cousin, how did it feel to be arrested last time? I think you really want to go back in and experience it again. How about I help you apply for a refund?"
