Zhou Jiadong's face turned red, whether from embarrassment or anger, it was hard to tell.
Feeling the gazes of those around him, Zhou Jiadong lowered his head in embarrassment, wishing he could disappear as soon as possible.
Zhou Jiahong, ever the protective one, spoke up to retort, "You're the coward! Your whole family are cowards! Humph! You're Zhong Xiaolan, the girl my brother used to date, right? So what? Your family is selling their daughter for a thousand yuan dowry, and my family can't afford it, and you're blaming my brother? That's ridiculous! Why don't you blame your parents for being so greedy!"
"And who is this guy? A new buyer? He looks several years younger than you. You really have a good eye, always picking on older men. Too bad he's not as good-looking as my brother. But now that you've found someone else, why are you still rubbing salt in my brother's wounds? What, you get a sense of revenge from making my brother suffer, don't you?!"
Zhong Xiaolan: "..."
Ugh, that damn brat! She really wanted to slap him to death!
Zhou Jiadong: "..."
Brother, you should say a few more words!
Guo Jiabao: "..."
This time, Guo Jiabao's face turned bright red.
Zhong Xiaolan's face turned pale and then red. She was so angry that her chest ached. Just as she was about to yell back, an unpleasant voice rang out from in front of her.
"Jiabao, didn't you say you were going out with your friends? What are you doing here?"
Before Zhong Xiaolan could react, Guo Jiabao quickly pulled his arm away from hers.
He looked somewhat guilty at the woman who approached with a dark expression. "Mom, I... I came here with a friend to browse around..."
Zhong Xiaolan was stunned for a moment before she realized that the woman was Guo Jiabao's mother.
Her expression immediately softened, replaced with a gentle smile, and she took the initiative to greet Guo Jiabao's mother, "Hello, Auntie, I am..."
However, before she could finish speaking, the other person coldly interrupted her, "What is your relationship with my son?!"
Zhong Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and was about to answer when Zhou Jiahong interrupted loudly, "Auntie, she's my brother's ex-girlfriend. Her family sold their daughter. Her parents demanded a thousand yuan dowry from my family, but we couldn't afford it, so she dumped my brother. Your son is now her new girlfriend!"
Zhong Xiaolan: "!!!"
Her face was contorted with rage. "You damn brat, talking nonsense!"
Nonsense!!!
Yu Qiuying's lips twitched. This kid's words were enough to drive anyone crazy. Luckily, it wasn't her who was angry, otherwise she would have slapped him a few times.
She grabbed him and said, "Are you still going to buy clothes? Let's go."
Zhou Jiahong wanted to watch the excitement for a while, but Yu Qiuying dragged him away.
Zhou Jiadong glanced at Zhong Xiaolan with mixed feelings, and then hurriedly followed.
Zhong Xiaolan took a deep breath, and seeing Guo Jiabao's mother's gloomy face, hurriedly explained, "Auntie, please don't listen to that person's nonsense. Jiabao and I..."
But Guo Jiabao's mother, Liu Yufeng, didn't even glance at her. She grabbed Guo Jiabao and said, "Come back with me. You're not allowed to see her again!"
Zhong Xiaolan was completely stunned, and her face turned deathly pale instantly.
Guo Jiabao panicked. "No! Mom, she's my girlfriend, Xiaolan! We truly love each other, and we're dating normally! Mom, didn't you tell me to find someone soon? I've found someone now, and I love Xiaolan. Please don't listen to that person's nonsense, okay? It's not what you think!"
Liu Yufeng suppressed her anger and dragged Guo Jiabao away without saying a word.
"Mom, let me go! Xiaolan, Xiaolan!" Guo Jiabao struggled, his body was being dragged away, but his heart was still with Zhong Xiaolan.
"Jiabao!" Zhong Xiaolan's heart followed him.
The two called out each other's names with deep affection across the crowd, looking like a pair of star-crossed lovers forcibly separated.
Zhong Xiaolan stood there with red eyes, enduring all the strange looks from those around her. Only after Guo Jiabao was dragged downstairs by his mother did she sadly lower her head, squeeze through the crowd, and hurriedly go downstairs.
After leaving the department store, Zhong Xiaolan felt a little lost. Originally, Guo Jiabao had said he would take her shopping at the department store for a while, buy her two outfits, and then take her to see a movie.
