"Let's go first. We still have plenty of clothes at home, so we don't need them for now." Jiang Xue stepped forward and tugged at Ji Chen, who was radiating a tense atmosphere.
"I don't think I'm that poor, am I?" Ji Chen's face darkened further, tinged with displeasure.
"Who knows?" Sun Ze'an said casually, looking down at the ledger in his hand, not even bothering to lift his head.
Jiang Xue was completely numb. She really wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it, even more so than when Ji Chen caught her red-handed at the hair salon.
Jiang Xue had no desire to try anymore; if she tried again, she would truly be heartless.
"I'm not trying any more on. These are all my sizes, so I'm not going to try them on." Jiang Xue handed the clothes directly to the young girl. "Pack them up for me."
The sales assistant also wanted to earn a commission. "You should also choose a pair of pants, otherwise it won't look good if they're not matched together."
Jiang Xue didn't know why her palms were sweating.
I was just going to grab any item, but the sales assistant told me the truth: "Sometimes the pants sizes aren't very accurate, so you'd better try them on. If the waist isn't big enough or it's too big, it won't be comfortable to wear."
Jiang Xue knew that the girl was just being kind, but she didn't know if she was genuinely naive or just pretending. Did she not know that the two girls were already engaged in a power struggle?
She steeled herself, grabbed the pants, and went to the changing room.
It was deathly quiet outside; everyone except the sales assistant was in a terrible mood.
"Jiang Xue has been quite well-behaved at home lately. She does whatever you ask, and she's even more obedient when she sleeps at night." Ji Chen said lazily, one hand in his pocket.
That's right, he was showing off. He wanted to make Sun Ze'an, that pretty boy, so jealous that he was unrecognizable.
Sun Ze'an's hand holding the ledger trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.
"Who can predict fate? Some people just don't know what's good for them and think they've done someone a favor. Forced relationships are never sweet." In Sun Ze'an's mind, Ji Chen and Jiang Xue were a business partnership.
Jiang Xue didn't choose him. If she had chosen Ji Chen, it would have been because Ji Chen had a life-or-death bond with her.
Jiang Xue had only sacrificed herself to repay this kindness.
Ji Chen was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by Sun Ze'an's words. He was in a bad mood, but he still tried to remain calm.
Jiang Xue tried them on casually, then came out with the pants, saying, "Okay, okay, let's pack them up."
Jiang Xue was inside, feeling uneasy the whole time, wondering what the two of them were going to say.
Knowing that Jiang Xue had finished trying it on and wanted to pack it up, Ji Chen took out two hundred-yuan bills and placed them in front of Sun Ze'an's counter.
"No need to look anymore. I'm very generous when it comes to spending money on my wife."
Jiang Xue's face turned green. This arrogant and crude man in the family was behaving in such a childish way.
Sun Ze'an didn't even glance at Ji Chen coldly. "Xiao Xue, these clothes are pretty good, aren't they? Now that I'm in charge, I'll order from your factory next time there's stock."
Before Jiang Xue could speak, Ji Chen interrupted, "My wife needs to stay home to rest during her pregnancy and isn't suited for strenuous work. You can ask whoever you want to do these chores."
Sun Ze'an stared at Ji Chen with resentment, "You just ruined someone's dream like that, don't you think you're shameless?"
Ji Chen's face was even more unpleasant than if he had swallowed a fly. This pretty boy actually criticized him, and not only that, he called him shameless.
"Okay, okay, we'll talk about the future later. I have some urgent business to attend to right now, so we'll be going." Jiang Xue pulled Ji Chen away.
She knew that Ji Chen was fighting against Sun Ze'an, but she didn't want to see this situation.
She didn't have romantic feelings for Sun Ze'an, but he had helped her a lot, so how could she be so ungrateful?
