Chapter 140
During this meeting, Kuang Yumin glanced at her several times. Wang Jiazhi knew he had noticed that she was wearing a new fur coat.
This golden mink dress has a large lapel and a three-layered bodice, like a cake skirt. It's beautiful, but the bodice is a bit too luxurious. But I already bought it, so I can't not wear it.
Actually, the white one Lao Yi had given her was enough for her, as she didn't go out much anyway. But wearing only one, especially now that she was going to class, seemed petty. She didn't mind, but it would be embarrassing for him.
After all, for a man of his status, women are a matter of face, especially since she is not a wife who has shared the hardships of life together, but a formal marriage. People take concubines for the sake of face, and they cannot lose face for him.
Grandma and the little girl often brought up other people's affairs. How did they know about them? Old Yi wouldn't tell them such boring gossip. It was just something that was spread in a small circle. Ordinary people were like that. Every circle was watched intently. Even if they wore an old plaid shirt at school, people would talk about them. If she went out to paint now and lost face, it would definitely spread among his circle.
She bought this fur coat specifically at that fur shop. She saw a leopard print coat in the window while shopping and decided to buy it this time.
I saw it a long time ago when I was shopping, a few hours before I died.
But when I really got there, I felt that it was not suitable. The leopard print looked too wild on me, especially since it was such a large piece of material. I really looked like a big leopard when I wore it.
She still didn't buy it. After all, a coat costs a lot of money. She couldn't just buy it and leave it there for nothing. She would have to buy another one to wear alternately with the current one, which would cost even more money.
He gave her a lot of pocket money every month, but she still didn't want to spend too much. After all, she felt...
The little girl accompanied her to buy clothes. She put on the dress and stood in front of the floor-length dressing mirror. The little girl exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"
Seeing her smile so happily, it is obvious that it is her honor to serve her master so glamorously.
The shop owner also praised: "Madam, you look so beautiful in this dress. This dress is very discerning about temperament. No matter how beautiful an ordinary person is, it won't work if they don't have the elegance of Madam."
Wang Jiazhi never realized this, because she wasn't from a wealthy family, and everyone around her treated her badly. When she was in school, she wore coarse linen clothes, and when she looked in the mirror, she thought she looked cool, perhaps even a little arrogant.
Everyone around her felt the same way. She thought Jin Qiaochu had the demeanor of a great person, and when she wore more mature costumes, the audience thought she was even more dignified and elegant than Jin Qiaochu.
Now the servants in the house also find it strange that a delicate young wife who usually acts like a spoiled child can dress up like a proper wife and doesn't look like someone from a poor family at all.
When I went back and put it on for him to see, he held it in his arms and said, "It's so furry, just like a bear."
Looking at her, he was reminded of a colleague's concubine, who also wore a similar dress. She was beautiful, but her temperament was far inferior, and her clothes were strange. He couldn't compare to his own. This little girl, though young, was so graceful. His vanity began to take over, and he felt itchy at the thought of showing her off to others.
Wang Jiazhi put the clothes in the closet, then snuggled into his arms at night, unable to sleep. Even as she closed her eyes, she thought of the leopard fur coat she'd left behind in the shop. It was already closed at this hour, yet it was still draped on the wooden mannequin, spending its own quiet night. The next day, the shop opened, the shutters removed, and it was exposed to the light of day again, ready for customers to try on, waiting for its future owner, though she wondered if that owner was worthy of it.
She knew the dress was too exaggerated and would be too conspicuous to wear. The reason she couldn't forget it was because of the obsession she had at that time.
The girl in the window was smiling so happily. She had someone to accompany her, someone to love her, someone to hold her hand and go shopping with her to choose clothes. But outside the window, she was walking alone on the street, waiting to die.
A few hours later, she was left dead in the wilderness, dying with them.
She thought of Kuang Yumin. His injuries weren't serious at all. He was acting like nothing had happened, and he told her everything after a few blows. The five of them, one by one, told her the most painful and shameful things that had happened to her. He knew everything in the end, so he hated her and refused to see her for the last time.
Thinking of this, she immediately dispelled the memory and never thought about it again. He would never know, even if she was going to die soon, he would not know.
The next day, the little girl brought in the delivery man from the fur shop. She was very surprised. Didn’t she already buy one?
When I opened the box, I found the leopard print coat. The delivery guy said it was sent by someone and I had already paid. Finally, he said he would also send a gift card along.
Wang Jiazhi opened the envelope and found a white card inside with a picture of a leopard-print kitten curled up in the shape of a donut, hugging a person's legs.
Wang Jiazhi knew that he had also enjoyed drawing cartoons when he was young. Indeed, when the newspaper was short-staffed and no one was working to draw illustrations, he had to do it.
The little girl wanted to see it, so she hurriedly put it away. She hurriedly put it into her pocket and found that her cheongsam had no pockets. Then she realized that she had an envelope in her hand and hurriedly put it back into the envelope.
It would be disgraceful for his servants to find out that he was drawing such childish things.
The little girl must have told him that she wore this dress and hesitated for a long time, but still didn't buy it.
When he came back at night, she put it on for him to see. She rested her head on his legs, and he stroked her fur and said, "She looks like a little leopard."
She said, "You treat me as your prey."
"How can a leopard be prey? We are equal."
Wang Jiazhi said with some regret: "This dress is too conspicuous to wear outside. There is no chance to wear it."
"Then you wear it at home, like this."
She smiled and said, "I'm not prey anymore, I'm your pet. You have to wear something furry too and let me stroke your fur."
"good."
