The cannon fodder woman looked at Shi Xi, then at Ning Yu, then back at Shi Xi, and asked, "Is she your sister?"

Shi Xi vaguely introduced, "Well, she's my parents' biological daughter, Ning Yu. This is my friend, Tao Yuxuan."

The cannon fodder woman's name is Tao Yuxuan. Her family sells electrical appliances and they have some money in Fengcheng.

Tao Yuxuan looked Ning Yu up and down, her tone mysterious: "So, you're the Ning Yu who rose to prominence and became a phoenix."

Shi Xi corrected her from the side, "Even if she doesn't fly, she's still a phoenix. Don't cause trouble for her."

Shi Xi was kindly advising the original owner, this cannon fodder friend.

What good can come of going against the female lead?

Tao Yuxuan felt even more sorry for Shi Xi. "Is it because after she came back, the Shi family spoiled her and stopped caring about you?"

Shi Xi: ?

Tao Yuxuan gritted her teeth and said, "I've heard everything. As soon as she came back, you were kicked out of the Shi family! Yesterday you were even trending on social media for being attacked online. Was that something she did?"

"What are you thinking about?" Shi Xi asked, her head aching. She pulled Tao Yuxuan aside and said, "Say less."

Ning Yu watched the two of them talking back and forth, too lazy to pay attention to them, and started to leave.

The shop assistant had already wrapped the clothes and handed them to Shi Xi.

Shi Xi took back her phone. "Give her the clothes."

Ning Yu said calmly, "You bought this, I don't want it."

After saying that, he left the store.

Tao Yuxuan was even angrier. "What's with the attitude?! You kindly bought her clothes, and she doesn't want them? Does she really think she's some kind of rich heiress?"

Shi Xi has a headache.

What kind of situation is this?

The female lead probably thought she had ulterior motives and that she and Tao Yuxuan were playing good cop/bad cop.

"No matter what, she's still a daughter of the Shi family, which means she's like a sister to me." Shi Xi said seriously, "You're not allowed to say those kinds of things in front of her anymore!"

Looking at Shi Xi's face, Tao Yuxuan said with heartache, "She stole your things, and you're still defending her like this! You're just too kind, that's why you keep getting bullied."

Shi Xi: ...I can't explain it.

She seems even more innocent and naive than the original owner of this body.

"Alright, alright, just don't cause her any more trouble." Shi Xi glanced at the time. "Shall we continue shopping?"

"Why bother shopping? I'm not in the mood anymore." Tao Yuxuan suggested, "How about I call all my friends and we go sing karaoke together?"

Shi Xi: "No, I have plans tonight."

Tao Yuxuan glanced at the bag in Shi Xi's hand, a knowing smile on her face, "Is it for Sheng Yan?"

Shi Xi: "No."

Tao Yuxuan thought she was shy, and blinked, saying, "Oh, since you're having dinner with Sheng Yan, I won't bother you. Make the most of it!"

Shi Xi: "Then I'll be going now."

Tao Yuxuan waved, "Bye-bye."

The sales assistant hesitated before stepping forward, "Ms. Shi, this dress..."

Shi Xi asked the shop assistant to give the clothes to Ning Yu, but Ning Yu refused to accept them.

"Give it to me." Shi Xi took the clothes, her heart heavy.

Did she offend the female lead, or not?

Even more burdensome was the fact that she still had to see Xie Yunzhou.

Thinking about meeting the male lead Sheng Yan's parents tomorrow, Shi Xi's steps became heavy.

Is the plot going to be this fast-paced?!

Shi Xi carried the paper bag and arrived at Qing Shui Ju.

Xie Yunzhou hadn't arrived at Qingshui Residence yet, so Shi Xi ordered a few dishes according to her own preferences and waited for someone.

Xie Yunzhou arrived shortly afterward.

Shi Xi handed over the bag in her hand, saying, "This is compensation for the clothes you received."

Xie Yunzhou recalled the day Shi Xi had dirtied his pants.

But why are there two bags?

Shi Xi said apologetically, "Besides the pants, I also picked out a belt for you as an apology."
