The two walked along the street, looking at the goods on the stalls. Before long, Jiang Sheng had acquired quite a few items, including various goods that Zhao Xuehui had bought.

There are quite a few food and entertainment options among them.

As a human cane and a human bag carrier, Jiang Sheng could only willingly help his second sister carry things.

The two strolled along the street, and in no time, in addition to the things they had bought, they each had a string of candied hawthorns in their hands.

Jiang Sheng was already buying so much stuff before even reaching the market, and he was starting to feel a bit of a headache.

When we get to the market, given my second sister's shopping desires, he'll probably be covered in all sorts of packaging bags, big and small.

Unfortunately, because they were all going shopping today, they didn't ride bicycles at all.

Although Jiang Sheng was confident in his physical strength, he couldn't keep up with Zhao Xuehui's constant shopping. His arms were now covered with bags, but he could only willingly continue to accompany Zhao Xuehui shopping.

"Wow, I never realized I bought so much stuff!"

At this moment, Zhao Xuehui seemed to suddenly realize that she had bought quite a lot of goods. She stuck out her tongue at Jiang Sheng somewhat embarrassedly, and a rare look of guilt appeared on her face.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect to buy so much stuff today. How about we find a place to store all this stuff first, and then we can go to the market to buy more?"

Jiang Sheng quickly surrendered, nodding and agreeing hastily.

"Second sister, you've finally seen your poor, miserable brother. Spending money is secondary, as long as you don't treat me like a poor worker and exploit me."

Amused by Jiang Sheng's pitiful appearance, Zhao Xuehui stepped forward and helped him carry a few bags of things.

"Okay, I'm just in a good mood today. I wouldn't normally buy this much stuff."

Amidst their laughter and conversation, the two arrived at a coffee shop next to the trade market and left their purchases at a temporary storage point.

After resting in the coffee shop for a while, the two of them, each with a cup of coffee, went directly to the commercial market next door.

Arriving at the market, Zhao Xuehui felt right at home. She skillfully visited many shops and bought a lot of clothes, finally satisfying her shopping desires.

However, because they bought so many things, if the two of them were to go back now, just figuring out how to bring all the goods back would be a problem.

However, taxis already existed in this era, so Zhao Xuehui thought for a moment and then patted Jiang Sheng on the shoulder.

"How about this, let's go to the coffee shop and sit for a while. I'm all sweaty. We can call a taxi later and take all this stuff home."

This was the only way to go, so Jiang Sheng didn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

I sat in the coffee shop, which was packed with people because it was the hottest time of day.

Jiang Sheng, being the wealthy man he is, simply waved his hand and ordered a private room, where he sat down to drink coffee and relax.

The coffee shop's main hall was right next to their private room.

In addition, the soundproofing of the private room wasn't very strong. The two were chatting casually when they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from outside the next private room.

"You've finally decided to ask me out today!"

Her voice was tinged with jealousy.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhao Xuehui spoke up, somewhat surprised.

"This, this isn't..."

"Shh!"

Jiang Sheng quickly grabbed Zhao Xuehui's wrist, put his index finger to his lips, and shushed her, signaling her to be quiet.

Zhao Xuehui then realized that she had been too loud. If Jiang Sheng hadn't stopped her in time, people outside would probably have heard her.

"Isn't that Zhou Changgui's voice?"

Zhao Xuehui lowered her voice, looking at Jiang Sheng with a sense of dread, her face showing some confusion.

"That's not right. Teacher Zhou and I are friends, so it's normal for us to bump into each other at a coffee shop."

"Little brother, why are you telling me to lower my voice? Is there something we're ashamed of?"

"Second sister, you've misunderstood me."

Jiang Sheng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's the students' holiday time, so it's normal for Teacher Zhou to be here. But keep listening, and you'll understand why I told you to keep your voice down."

Just as Jiang Sheng finished speaking, a woman's voice came from outside the private room.

"It's because I've been too busy lately, otherwise, why would I not see you?"

Upon hearing that alluring and seductive voice, Zhao Xuehui's eyes widened in surprise, her face filled with disbelief, and she froze on the spot.

Only Jiang Sheng remained calmly seated. Although his expression didn't reveal anything amiss, Zhao Xuehui perceived him as someone who had already anticipated this event.

Jiang Shengcai didn't care about any of that. Regardless of what Zhao Xuehui thought, all he could do at that moment was lower his voice and calmly comfort her.

"Second sister, I will explain everything to you properly later. But for now, you must listen carefully. They will give you the answers to all the questions you want to know."

Upon hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Zhao Xuehui bit her lip slightly, her expression complex and sad, but she still nodded in the end.

One was her former best friend, and the other was someone she considered a confidante and an object of admiration.

These two people seem to each have a side that is unknown to others, and if she had happened to overhear this conversation today, she would have had no idea about these things at all.

The two stopped talking, while outside the private room, Zhou Changgui and Sun Chunli, unaware that Zhao Xuehui and Jiang Sheng were inside, continued talking to themselves.

"At least you have some conscience."

After Zhou Changgui finished speaking, he took the initiative to sit next to Sun Chunli and held her delicate hand in his.

"I've been incredibly busy lately. Not only are there tons of things to do at school, but I've also lost my tutoring job, so I'm just taking on odd jobs to make ends meet."

Zhou Changgui sighed as he spoke, then turned his gaze to Sun Chunli.

Seeing that she was still wearing a tight short skirt that accentuated her good figure, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.

"We haven't been together in a long time. How about we go to my place after we finish our coffee today?"
