Different people come and go in this shopping mall. At a glance, they are all either rich or noble.

Qi Jiu quickly found the electronic map after entering and took the elevator to the 6th floor.

This large shopping mall is filled with international brands, both domestic and international. However, compared to these crowded shops, there's one store that occupies the largest area, yet it receives almost no customers.

But Qi Jiu walked towards this store.

The store is designed to be luxurious yet tasteful. Each sales assistant wears a uniform and stands at the entrance to greet customers with a smile, displaying impeccable manners.

"Welcome to G China Direct Sales Store. What would you like to do with? Jewelry or clothing?"

"I'll just look around," Qi Jiu waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to follow her.

The sales assistant was perceptive; she understood that some customers didn't like having someone following them around, so she smiled and nodded.

"Okay, then if you need anything in the future, you can come to me directly."

Qi Jiu looked through everything from sun-protective accessories like hats and sunglasses to clothes. Overall, they had all the internationally popular styles; the selection was quite comprehensive.

She nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, her purpose in coming today wasn't to buy anything, but to investigate G's situation in China. After all, she could easily obtain G's things with a wave of her hand.

"Miss, is there anything you need? Or is it that our store doesn't have what you need?"

The sales assistant saw that Qi Jiu had browsed around the store without buying anything and assumed that she didn't find anything she liked. Just as she was about to go up and explain, she was interrupted by a voice behind her.

"Sister Lin Yue! Look at this dress, it's so beautiful! It would definitely suit you perfectly!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Qi Jiu subconsciously turned around.

Qin Yao was seen arm in arm with a rather mature woman, looking at dresses inside the store.

"There's no need," she said casually, her voice not loud, but Qin Yao still heard her.

She glanced at Qi Jiu, a calculating glint in her eyes, and moved closer to Lin Yue. "Who do we have here? It's just the Shen family's adopted daughter. If you can't afford it, don't pretend to be a big shot! Go look around on the street, maybe you'll find something suitable!"

When I revealed my identity at the parents' meeting, with so many people present and it being about the Shen family, I'm sure many people know about it now.

Qin Yao suddenly said this, and Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qi Jiu.

Shen family's adopted daughter?

With just one glance, she was amazed, even a little ashamed of herself, but this was quickly suppressed by a complex emotion.

"Yaoyao, you can't say that about people."

"Why not?" Qin Yao perked up. "Sister Lin Yue, now everyone in our class knows she's an adopted daughter, and adopted daughters aren't exactly respectable! Besides, is this the kind of shop an adopted daughter like her should be allowed to enter? She can't afford it! And it's just polluting the environment!"

Seemingly speaking intentionally for Qi Jiu to hear, Qin Yao couldn't help but say a few more words, her voice becoming a bit higher-pitched.

Qi Jiu wasn't annoyed by Qin Yao's words. "Miss Qin, I don't remember you being either a member of the Lin or Qi family. Instead of criticizing me, you should think about yourself."

The Lin family is doing quite well in City A, and Qin Yao knows which powerful family to rely on. With the added support of the Qi family, they are now practically lawless and look down on everyone.

She looked at the princess dress beside her and laughed, "How come I remember it's during class time at Chuyang Middle School? What kind of young lady is so irresponsible as to skip class?"

"You!" Qin Yao wanted to retort, but in the end, her face turned red and she still couldn't say anything.

Because she was indeed skipping class to get closer to Lin Yue. The Qin family wasn't anything special in A, and if they wanted a better life, they had to climb the social ladder like this.

"Hello, could you please wrap this up for me?"

Qi Jiu pointed to the light-colored princess dress next to her. Although she didn't have anything she wanted to buy, she could give this princess dress to Shen Sisi.

Chen Sisi is like a flower in a greenhouse, perfectly suited to this kind of clothing.

"Yes, miss, I..."

"Wait! I want this dress, wrap it up for me!"

Before the saleswoman could finish speaking, Qin Yao interrupted her, clearly intending to go against Qi Jiu.

Now the sales assistant was in a dilemma. "I'm sorry, miss, this dress was ordered by the lady next to me first. This dress is available in other colors. Would you like to look at other colors?"

"No, I like this color! Give me this dress!" Qin Yao insisted.

"No, miss, this dress was first chosen by the lady next to me..."

Seeing the sales assistant's predicament, Lin Yue felt a little embarrassed. "Yaoyao, forget it. If you like this dress, I'll have my friend bring you a few from their overseas direct sales store."

For some reason, she glanced at Qi Jiu not far away as she spoke, "It's just a piece of G clothing, right? I have a friend who's on good terms with G. If you want anything else, I'll have someone bring it to you! It's all easy to arrange."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Yao laughed, while Qi Jiu raised an eyebrow in bewilderment. "There's such a person?"

"But Sister Lin Yue, this is your relationship. I just don't want to give her this dress. She clearly can't afford it. She's just an adopted daughter. What is she pretending for? The Shen family doesn't value her at all!"

Qi Jiu didn't speak, but turned to the saleswoman next to her and smiled, "Hello, please call your manager over for me."

"Oh? Excuse me, miss, is there something I did wrong? I can change it, I..."

Qi Jiu waved her hand, "It's okay, you're fine. You probably won't be able to make the decisions about what happens next."

The saleswoman paused for a moment, then turned and left.

A short while later, a middle-aged man in a suit came over with a smile.

"Miss, did you call for me? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You're the manager, right?" Qin Yao released Lin Yue's arm and moved closer. "I like that dress! Wrap it up for me! What kind of attitude is this? Aren't customers supposed to be gods? Why don't they listen to their gods?"

The manager remained unfazed. "But I heard from the staff that this young lady was the one who took a liking to it first."

"But she..."

Qi Jiu didn't say anything, but pulled out a black business card from somewhere and handed it to the manager.

The air suddenly went quiet. The manager, having seen something, caught his breath. His previously kind smile turned into wide-eyed stares.

His eyes were burning with desire as he looked at Qi Jiu.

"You! You are..."

"Wrap this dress up and send it to the Shen family manor." After saying that, Qi Jiu was about to leave, but then paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something.

“Miss Qin is so wealthy, she shouldn’t lack this brand. Don’t sell her G products anymore.” He pointed at Qin Yao as he spoke.
