Chapter 34

Seeing Jiang Jiang's face full of disbelief, Xiaobai pulled Jiang Jiang's hand and shook it.

"It was really given by a kind-hearted person!" She looked at Jiang Jiang with sparkling eyes, like a puppy waiting for praise.

Jiang Jiang looked down at their clasped hands, then at the large box on the ground, his brows furrowed. "Which kindhearted person would give me a box of sunscreen worth tens of thousands of dollars?"

If it is genuine, each one will cost several hundred or even a thousand yuan, and there are dozens of them here.

Seeing that Xiaobai was still unwilling to tell the truth, she helplessly reached out and poked Xiaobai's forehead, "What's going on?"

Xiaobai pouted, his eyes wandering, "It's just... I just met two kind people, they thought I was cute and gave it to me..."

Her voice got quieter and quieter, and finally she started to act like a spoiled brat, "Well, it's a free gift anyway! This is really good. I've tried it, and it's super cooling. This way, Jiang Jiang, you won't feel hot when you go out!"

Looking at Xiaobai's expectant look, Jiang Jiang felt warm in his heart, but reason quickly prevailed.

She sighed and gently ruffled Xiaobai's hair. "I appreciate your kindness, but we can't accept something of unknown origin."

As she spoke, she took Xiaobai's hand and hooked her fingertips around Xiaobai's palm to comfort him, "Let's send the things to the service desk."

"Ah?" Xiaobai suddenly wilted, staring at the box at his feet and refusing to move, "But..."

"No buts!" Jiang Jiang became a little serious!

Let’s not talk about whether this box of sunscreen is genuine or fake. It was inexplicably “delivered” to Xiaobai. What if it is stolen goods?

Xiaobai finally listened to Jiang Jiang's words, pouted his mouth, and went to the service desk with the box in his arms.

After hearing the situation, the service desk staff immediately contacted the manager of the zz brand store.

After a while, a middle-aged woman in a smart suit hurried over.

"Hello, I'm the manager of the ZZ brand store in this mall." She introduced herself politely, but her eyes remained on the cardboard box, and she frowned slightly. "Can you tell me in detail where these products come from?"

She has come into contact with many zz brand products and can easily tell that all the products in this box are genuine.

A box of genuine products slipped out of the store without her knowing. No matter how you look at it, it must be a problem within their store.

Under Jiang Jiang's stern gaze, Xiaobai reluctantly recounted what had happened.

When the store manager heard that "two people often make mistakes in the warehouse", his expression became extremely serious.

"Thank you very much!" The store manager bowed solemnly to Jiang Jiang and Xiao Bai. "We will thoroughly investigate this matter and will definitely reward you handsomely when the time comes."

She said that when she was counting the goods recently, she always felt that there was often a shortage of goods in the warehouse, and it turned out to be because of this reason.

After leaving the service desk, Xiaobai was in a bad mood.

Jiang Jiang looked at her like this, feeling somewhat helpless and amused. She couldn't help but comfort her, "Okay, I have sunscreen! Besides, I'm just an ordinary office worker with a mortgage to pay. How can I afford such a good sunscreen? What's more..." She walked over, stood on tiptoe and pinched Xiaobai's face, "I understand your intentions. They are more important than sunscreen!"

At the same time, the man in black and the female clerk, who had fled in panic because of fear, were hiding in a corner outside the mall and trembling.

"That monster...that monster..." The female clerk bit her nails nervously, looking terrified. "What the hell is she? Did we really provoke something unclean? Or...or should we call the police!"

"Shut up!" The man glared at her fiercely, and shivered in fear because of what had just happened.

The female clerk was still in fear, but did not speak again.

The man in black exhaled softly, "Let's pretend this never happened. Don't call the police! If you do, our theft will be exposed! You don't want to go to jail, do you?"

The female clerk nodded fearfully. They had stolen a lot of products in huge amounts. If they were caught, they would be stuck for three to five years. She really didn't want to go to jail!

So the two of them decided to pretend that this matter didn't exist, and as for the box of goods, they just pretended it had never existed!

However, they didn't expect that the manager of the zz brand store had already called the police.

The police retrieved the surveillance footage from the warehouse during this period. Based on the surveillance footage and the surveillance footage around the shopping mall, they arrested the two men based on clues in less than three days.

Upon investigation, it was found that they had been colluding to steal goods from the store for a long time, with the amount involved reaching more than 100,000 yuan.

After the matter was investigated, the official zz sent Jiang Jiang and Xiaobai a set of skin care products worth thousands of yuan to express their gratitude, including the icy sunscreen that Xiaobai had been longing for.

The note above expresses the gratitude of zz brand to Xiaobai for its help.

"Wow!" Xiaobai excitedly spun around holding the gift box. "Jiang Jiang! Sunscreen! I got sunscreen!"

Jiang Jiang shook his head helplessly, but seeing Xiaobai's happy expression, he couldn't help but smile.

Of course, this is all in the past.

…

The two continued to stroll around the mall, and Jiang Jiang took Xiaobai to several affordable clothing stores that she often paid attention to.

It is the season change promotion period, and the store is full of new styles of the season, and the prices are very affordable.

"How about this one?" Jiang Jiang picked up a light blue short-sleeved shirt with two butterflies embroidered on it, giving it a traditional costume feel.

She held the clothes and gestured on Xiaobai, "I think this looks good, do you want to try it?"

Xiaobai is tall and has a good figure, making her a perfect clothes hanger. In addition, her every move gives people the feeling of an ancient daughter, which makes people feel that Xiaobai is very suitable for wearing traditional costumes.

Looking at so many categories of clothes, Xiaobai picked up a few sets with great interest.

What she picked up was the opposite of what Jiang Jiang picked up. They were all clothes that young people like to wear nowadays, and they were all the types that Jiang Jiang liked.

Since there's no harm in giving it a try, Jiang Jiang let Xiaobai give it a try.

While they were choosing, Xiaobai's eyes were suddenly attracted by a white long dress.

"Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang!" Xiaobai pointed at the dress excitedly, his eyes shining. "Is this the kind of wedding dress you see in TV dramas?"

It was a fairy-like white long dress. The light chiffon fabric was dotted with delicate lace, and the hem was embroidered with tiny pearls, emitting a soft halo under the light.

Although it is not as gorgeous and complicated as a formal wedding dress, it does have some of the romantic atmosphere of a wedding dress.

Jiang Jiang couldn't help but imagine how Xiaobai would look wearing it, and suddenly felt anticipation.

"This isn't a wedding dress, but do you want to try it on? I think it would look great on you."

Xiaobai covered the corners of his lips that couldn't help but rise, and looked at Jiang Jiang with sparkling eyes, "Jiang Jiang, are you proposing to me? I see it's always like this in TV dramas, the hero takes the heroine to the bridal shop, holding the wedding dress and proposing..."

Jiang Jiang, “…”

What a messed up TV series this is, it really poisons the children!

"Don't talk nonsense! This is not a wedding dress!" Jiang Jiang's face flushed instantly. She hurriedly stuffed the skirt and several other clothes to Xiaobai. "Okay, these are all. If you want more, there will be no room. Let's go to the fitting room and try them on!"

Watching Xiaobai skipping into the fitting room with clothes in his arms, Jiang Jiang felt his cheeks getting hot and decided to go to the corridor at the entrance of the store to get some fresh air.

As she walked out of the store, she took a deep breath and put the back of her hand against her cheek to try to cool down.

The mall is spacious and bright. Looking down from the railing, the first floor is crowded with people, and it seems that some event is taking place.

At this moment, Jiang Jiang keenly noticed that a pair of eyes were staring at him.

She looked around and everyone was doing their own thing, as if it was just an illusion.

Jiang Jiang frowned slightly and looked around more carefully.

Soon a suspicious figure was spotted in the opposite corridor.

The reason why it is suspicious is that no normal person would see that person looking around with binoculars in a shopping mall.

The man pretended to observe the mall environment, but the camera was clearly pointed towards her.

The other person saw Jiang Jiang looking at him, put down the telescope, smiled and waved.

"Lin Yue!" Jiang Jiang walked over angrily and grabbed Lin Yue's collar, "How dare you show up here!"

Lin Yue had no intention of dodging. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses and gave Jiang Jiang a meaningful smile.

The sunlight shone through the skylight of the shopping mall onto her fluffy and slightly messy short hair, casting a faint halo.

"Long time no see, Miss Jiang." Her voice was as gentle as if she was greeting an old friend. As she spoke, she took Jiang Jiang's hand off her collar and said, "Don't be so nervous. I don't mean you any harm."

Jiang Jiang's fingertips pinched into his palm unconsciously, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his back.

The woman in front of her had knocked her unconscious and kidnapped her, and had also tried to use her as bait to capture Xiaobai.

Although the mall was full of surveillance cameras and people, Lin Yue's calm attitude at the moment made her even more alert.

"No ill intentions?" Jiang Jiang sneered, his voice low, looking at Lin Yue warily, "You followed us, and you call that no ill intentions?"

Lin Yue calmly raised his hands and made a surrender gesture, indicating that he really did not have any weapons or medicine. "I really have no ill intentions!"

She leaned forward slightly and whispered to Jiang Jiang, "But it seems you're right about me following you!"

Before Jiang Jiang could get angry, Lin Yue quickly spoke up and continued, "Don't be angry, I just want to talk to you. Can we find a quiet place?"

"We have nothing to talk about!" Jiang Jiang tried hard to suppress his anger.

She really wanted to beat Lin Yue up, but she was a civilized person, and they were in the mall now, so she didn't want to make a big fuss!

But she would feel too uncomfortable if she didn't beat Lin Yue!

Ahhh, this is really too frustrating!

"Really?" Lin Yue adjusted his glasses again, smiling, "Don't you want to know her identity and background? Don't you want to know why her body has become so different? Don't you want to know why she keeps clinging to you? Is she clinging to you, or someone else who looks like you..."

Jiang Jiang looked at Lin Yue steadily. To be honest, she really wanted to know about Xiaobai's situation. After all, Xiaobai's appearance completely overturned the materialistic worldview she had built up over the past twenty years. How could she not be curious?

She wanted to know more why Xiaobai liked her. Did he like her, or was there something similar between her and someone else?

Seeing through Jiang Jiang's hesitation, Lin Yue chuckled, "I can tell you everything."

Her voice was like a devil's whisper, "About Xiaobai's origins, about her body structure...as long as you are willing to cooperate with me."

Jiang Jiang raised his head suddenly, and the hesitation in his eyes was instantly replaced by determination, "I won't trade Xiaobai!"

"That's really touching." Lin Yue sighed hypocritically, "But have you ever considered that Xiaobai might have other motives for approaching you? Why did she choose you?"

These words pierced Jiang Jiang's heart like a knife. She had doubted it before, but when she heard it from Lin Yue's mouth, she felt a pang of pain.

"Enough! Xiaobai just lost her memory!" Jiang Jiang was furious, her eyes almost blazing with fire. "Don't slander her if you don't know anything!"

She felt like she was losing her mind and wasted her time here. She turned around angrily and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Yue.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave..." Lin Yue didn't notice, tripped, and fell forward.

Jiang Jiang had no time to dodge and was heavily pressed to the ground by Lin Yue.

"Jiang Jiang!"

Just then, an angry shout came from behind.

Jiang Jiang looked up and saw Xiaobai running towards her in that white long skirt, the hem of which drew a graceful arc in the air.

Her expression was filled with an anger I had never seen before, and her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.

Xiaobai pushed Lin Yue away with such force that Lin Yue fell to the ground.

She pulled Jiang Jiang up with one hand and pulled her behind her, her voice filled with anger and dissatisfaction, "If you come close to Jiang Jiang again, I won't let you go!"

At this time, the clerk came over breathlessly, "My lady! You haven't paid for your clothes yet!"

When she chased after him, she realized that the scene was so tense. She held the price tag awkwardly, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Lin Yue stood up calmly, staring at Xiaobai with burning eyes, "But, you know, I'm only interested in you!"

The shop assistant beside him opened his eyes wide and ate the melon with relish.

Wow, a love triangle! So exciting!
