They understood what this meant, so Liu Wenliang and his companions remained silent and waited to see what was happening.
Jia Dongsheng took a few steps towards Qian Rui and Mingfang, "Where did this young lady come from? She is so beautiful, and your hair is combed beautifully, but..." Jia Dongsheng paused deliberately in the middle of his words, which whetted Qian Rui's appetite.
Anyone would be happy to hear someone praise themselves, but Jia Dongsheng's "but" immediately made Qian Rui feel uncomfortable. What exactly did this kid mean by "but"? Judging from the child's clothes, his family must be well-off. Moreover, the little guy was pretty and had a sweet mouth, so Qian Rui didn't mind chatting with him for a while.
"Little brother, you can't just say half of the words! What do you mean by 'just'? Is there something dirty on your face? Tell me and I'll buy you some candy." Qian Rui's tone was coaxing and a little anxious.
Although these children look small, they are of noble birth after all. They are not blind. From the moment the two girls mocked Liu Chao, they looked her up and down.
Although her clothes look gorgeous, they are not too expensive. Of course, this is relatively speaking.
In the 1990s, it was considered very good to be able to wear clothes worth thousands of yuan.
Qian Rui's outfit must have cost at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, which is not cheap. After all, she is just a child. If her family does not have some financial resources, they will not be willing to spend money like this on their child.
Seeing her take the bait, Jia Dongsheng raised his eyebrows. Such a fool looked down on his brother Liu Chao. She was really ignorant of the heavens and the earth. She was not even worthy of carrying his brother's shoes.
The play had to go on, otherwise he would not be able to swallow this breath, so he showed a hesitant look again, as if he was considering whether to say it or not, and looked embarrassed.
Qian Rui was watching from the side and felt anxious.
Seeing that her performance was almost over, Qian Rui estimated that in two minutes, she would lose her patience.
Jia Dongsheng then said: "Look at your complexion, sister. It is as rosy as a peach blossom and full of rosy face. You look like a fairy, but you wear a red mink coat. First, the coat matches the color of your face and fails to bring out your extraordinary temperament. Second, the style of this coat is long, which does not match your age. It makes you look tacky. You may not believe what I say, but you can ask the people in this store to see if this is the case." After saying this, Jia Dongsheng winked at his friend.
They understood what this meant, and they just had to cooperate with Jia Dongsheng and pretend not to know him.
So Qian Rui really started asking about it. At first, she asked the waiter in the store, and the waiter's answer was that the color was indeed wrong and it looked big on her.
She felt that the waiter was not of the same age as her and might have different tastes, so she went straight to Liang Yiyi and her group, because she could see that although Liang Yiyi was young, her clothes were not ordinary, and if she looked closely, they seemed to be even more upscale than her own.
Seeing her asking, Liang Yiyi didn't want to pay any attention to her. He thought that just because his family was rich, he would belittle others at every turn. Such people were the most annoying.
But to cooperate with Jia Dongsheng, she still said, "If I were you, I would throw this dress away immediately. You look like a walking red lantern in this dress, lighting yourself and others. Who are you planning to be a foil for?" Of course, Liang Yiyi was still the same Liang Yiyi at this time, with a bit of a sharp tongue, but this was only said to outsiders. She never said this to her family and friends.
Although Jia Dongsheng wanted to punish her, his words were not false. Otherwise, with so many people watching, wouldn't he be easily exposed?
So what the waiter in the store and Liang Yiyi said was true.
After hearing what Liang Yiyi said, Qian Rui's face changed. She turned around suddenly and looked at the girl named Mingfang.
Mingfang had felt that something was wrong as early as when Jia Dongsheng said that there was something wrong with Qian Rui's clothes, so she didn't dare to say anything at this moment and tried hard to reduce her presence.
Seeing Qian Rui staring at her intently, she couldn't help but secretly regret that she should have run away when there were so many people around. If Qian Rui said something in front of so many people, how could she face people in the future?
Jia Dongsheng and the others exchanged a glance. It seemed there was something going on here! The shy little girl named Mingfang seemed to be no pushover. It seemed Qian Rui had been tricked by her.
Jia Dongsheng is best at observing people's words and expressions and taking advantage of every opportunity.
So he added fuel to the fire.
He turned to the little girl named Mingfang and said, "Look at this young lady. Although she's not as pretty as you, her outfit suits her temperament very well. And with your outfit next to her, she looks like a pure white lotus! You really should learn how to dress from this young lady."
Mingfang thought to herself: It’s bad.
Qian Rui is not a fool. She knows that this is a shopping mall. If she and Mingfang quarrel, not only will Mingfang be embarrassed, but she will also look bad.
So when Liang Yiyi's words made her realize that she had been tricked, she just glared at Mingfang but didn't lose her temper on the spot. She suppressed the anger in her heart.
But Jia Dongsheng's words were heartbreaking.
Jia Dongsheng thought to himself, if you can still endure this, I will take your surname.
Jia Dongsheng's surname has remained the same ever since. He was surnamed Jia for the eleven years before this day, and he will remain so every day since.
So, the stupid "young lady" couldn't help it. If she couldn't bear it, Jia Dongsheng naturally didn't have to change his last name.
Qian Rui walked up to Mingfang with an angry expression on her face. "Mingfang, today I finally see what kind of person you are. Your family is not well off, and it was I who asked my father to hire your unemployed father and give him a job, so your life has improved. I saw that the clothes you were wearing were all old, so I bought you new clothes. Although they are not as good as mine, they are much better than others. I always save a portion of my delicious and fun things for you. I treat you as a good friend, and you are plotting against me like this?"
It turned out that Qian Rui's mother was supposed to accompany Qian Rui shopping today, but suddenly something happened at the company and she left in a hurry. Before leaving, she told Qian Rui that she would come to the mall to find her after she finished her work.
When Qian Rui was about to change clothes and go out, Mingfang came and the two of them prepared to go shopping together.
Now the highlight came. Qian Rui was going to change into clothes. Her mother had already prepared them for her. A pink dress, paired with a pair of white leather boots, and her princess hairstyle made her look cute and fresh, just like a real little princess.
But Mingfang refused to do it. Her father thought that she had such a good job because of Mingfang. She was a good friend of her boss's daughter, so she couldn't dress too poorly. So he spent over a thousand dollars to buy her a new set of clothes.
