Mingyao was completely bewildered and looked at her in confusion, "I didn't see you at all, how could I have ignored you?"

Ding Qingle stared at Mingyao suspiciously, her sharp eyes penetrating as if trying to see through her thoughts.

Mingyao blinked and nodded earnestly.

"Perfect timing, come shopping with me."

Ding Qingle pouted and pulled her along, walking forward on her own.

Mingyao had no chance to resist and let her drag her along.

When did her relationship with Ding Qingle become so good?

"Ding Qingle, we don't seem to know each other very well yet."

Mingyao forced a smile and asked.

Ding Qingle suddenly stopped and glared at her.

Meeting Ding Qingle's angry gaze, Mingyao gasped.

"Su Xueya, what do you mean?"

Ding Qingle looked indignant. "Now I can't even drag you shopping together?"

Her fierce appearance made Mingyao feel as if she had done something to offend her.

"No."

Mingyao said softly.

Ding Qingle gripped her hand tightly and said arrogantly, "Since you don't have one, come with me."

Her attitude was arrogant and extremely domineering.

Mingyao was still somewhat dazed and had no idea what had happened that Ding Qingle had dragged her to the mall.

She was picky and choosy, treating Mingyao like nothing more than a tool to accompany her shopping.

As the saying goes, enemies meet on a narrow road. Mingyao and Ding Qingle were shopping when they bumped into Wang Nana.

Wang Nana looked Mingyao up and down with a disdainful gaze, scoffed dismissively, and rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

Mingyao smiled slightly at her, not wanting to get too entangled with Wang Nana.

She was about to pull Ding Qingle away when she realized that Ding Qingle had somehow ended up standing in front of Wang Nana.

Wang Nana was stunned. "What are you doing?"

"Apologize." Ding Qingle said firmly, "How was you raised?"

"Do you expect me to look at people like that?"

Mingyao looked at Ding Qingle with great surprise, never expecting her to stand up for her.

She looked at Ding Qingle and smiled, pursing her lips.

Ding Qingle's personality is somewhat unlikable, but she seems nice to be around.

Wang Nana's temper flared up instantly, and she retorted sarcastically, "I can look at people however I want, what's it to you?"

"Heh, you're no good either, being able to be friends with Su Xueya."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Rongrong's cold, eerie voice came from behind her.

"So, you're saying I'm no good either?"

Wang Nana turned around cautiously, her eyes meeting Jiang Rongrong's cold gaze.

She shivered, and her face paled a shade lower.

"Rongrong, I don't quite understand what you mean."

Wang Nana forced a smile that had a flattering tone.

Jiang Rongrong glanced at Wang Nana and said firmly, "Didn't you say that anyone who is Su Xueya's friend is a bad person?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid in front of me?"

With a cold face, Jiang Rongrong snatched the bag that Wang Nana was carrying.

Wang Nana clenched her fists and stood rooted to the spot like a stick.

She stared at her toes, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it would leap out of her chest.

What's going on?

When did Jiang Rongrong and Ming Yao become friends?

The worst part is that a thoughtless remark she made actually upset Jiang Rongrong.

She went to so much trouble to get close to Jiang Rongrong, she absolutely couldn't let it all go to waste!

"Rongrong, that's not what I meant..." she stammered, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

Jiang Rongrong's face darkened inch by inch. "Alright."

"Don't let me see you again."

Wang Nana was shocked, and her gaze toward Jiang Rongrong held a hint of disbelief.

Her eyes immediately reddened, and she pleaded, choking back tears, "Rongrong, don't be angry. Aren't we friends? Please give me another chance."

Jiang Rongrong sneered: "When did I become your friend?"

"Wang Nana, don't flatter yourself."

"Didn't you drag me shopping today too?" Jiang Rongrong narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Wang Nana full of mockery. "Every time you drag me shopping, isn't it because you want me to buy you bags and clothes?"

"You really think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Wang Nana's face turned ashen, and her lips were pressed into a thin line.

She clenched her fists and weakly protested, "No, that's not it."

Aren't those all gifts you gave me?

Jiang Rongrong retorted with a sneer, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "I only pay for you out of courtesy, and you brazenly call it a gift?"

"I didn't hold grudges against you before because you were keeping me company."

"But you've gone too far this time."

Jiang Rongrong crossed her arms, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Wang Nana couldn't understand why Jiang Rongrong and Su Xueya used to be at odds.

Why are you suddenly so protective of her?

She wanted to argue her point, but Jiang Rongrong interrupted her, saying, "I'll send you the bill tomorrow. Please settle all the expenses I paid for you."

Jiang Rongrong's words were like a bolt from the blue for Wang Nana.

She stared blankly at Jiang Rongrong, her mouth agape, as if she wanted to stuff an egg into it.

Jiang Rongrong remained expressionless, but her voice turned even colder: "Don't contact me again."

Under Wang Nana's astonished gaze, Jiang Rongrong grabbed Mingyao's hand and said, "Are you hungry? I'll treat you to a meal."

Jiang Rongrong affectionately linked arms with Mingyao and walked forward on her own.

Wang Nana stood there, completely dumbfounded.

This time, Jiang Rongrong is serious.

Over the years, she has been flattering Jiang Rongrong and has used Jiang Rongrong's influence to buy a lot of luxury goods.

If we ask her to repay the money now, how will she repay it?

Wang Nana was pale. She quickly caught up with Jiang Rongrong, crying with tears streaming down her face: "Sister Jiang, please give me another chance!"

"I know I was wrong."

Jiang Rongrong ignored her pleas and pulled Mingyao along even faster.

Wang Nana's cries were desperate, and she was quickly dragged away by the security guards.

Mingyao looked at Jiang Rongrong with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

He usually seems quiet and unassuming, but I never expected him to be so calculating behind the scenes.

It seems like Wang Nana got the better deal, but in reality, she suffered a great loss.

Ding Qingle said sarcastically, "Su Xueya, I really can't tell."

She looked ahead, a knowing smile on her face: "You have quite a few friends."

Before Mingyao could even open her mouth, Jiang Rongrong retorted, "Why can't we have friends?"

She squeezed Mingyao's hand and smiled at Ding Qingle, "The way you're asking, you're probably not her friend."

"This gives us a chance to be alone together."

Jiang Rongrong looked at Ding Qingle with a forced smile, and the air was thick with tension.

"Xiaoxue, there's a really good Japanese restaurant on the fifth floor of the mall. Let's go there together."

Mingyao subconsciously looked at Ding Qingle.

She came with Ding Qingle, and it wouldn't be good to leave her behind halfway.
