Chapter 85: Big fight at the mall
Jiang Xu went to do his own things, and Gu Ning took Gu Man and Gu Ning to take a taxi directly to the downtown commercial building.
When they arrived at the business building in the city center, Gu Ning said that she wanted to look at clothes first, but was immediately stopped by Gu Qing: "Ningning, you already bought clothes for us yesterday, so don't waste money buying more."
"How can two pieces be enough to change clothes! Besides, my mom and I have almost lost all our clothes, so we don't have many left. Don't worry! We won't buy high-end brands this time, just ordinary ones." Gu Ning comforted them, knowing that they were afraid of wasting money, but she and Gu Man really didn't have many clothes! And they didn't plan to buy anything high-end this time.
As for luxury goods, it’s enough to have a few so that you can show them off to important parties or events.
On weekdays, just wear ordinary clothes.
High-end clothing is just a matter of reputation. There are many mid-range brands whose quality is no worse than high-end ones.
Since Gu Ning said so, Gu Qing naturally had nothing to say.
Gu Ning and his group came to the mid-range area, found a store that wore clothes suitable for Gu Man and Gu Qing's age, and went in to take a look.
Although it was only a mid-range area, the clothes there cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. To Gu Man and Gu Qing, it was a high-end place and they had never been there.
So, when we went in, we were a little timid.
Gu Qing and Gu Man were not well dressed to begin with, and they didn't look rich at all. Plus, they looked timid, so the salesperson concluded that they simply couldn't afford the purchase, so she didn't even bother to greet them.
Gu Ning didn't care. He just took Gu Qing and Gu Man to look at things. If they liked something, they would buy it. If they didn't like something, they would leave.
Gu Qing saw a nice dress, then flipped over the price tag and was immediately shocked: "This is so expensive! It costs 1,800 yuan!"
Eighteen thousand, that was half a month's salary for her! Although she knew that the clothes Gu Ning bought for them yesterday were more expensive, she had already bought them, and it was useless to feel bad about them. Now she could see it with her own eyes! That feeling was even more painful.
However, as soon as Gu Qing finished her words, a mocking female voice came: "Ha! It's only 1,800 yuan. If you can't afford it, don't come in. You are pretending to be cool! Look at your clothes, you are only worthy of buying street goods."
These words immediately made Gu Qing's face turn red with embarrassment and she lowered her head.
Gu Ning's face darkened slightly. He looked at the woman and found that she was a familiar face. The corners of his mouth raised wickedly and he shouted meaningfully, "Oh! It's Ms. Jin!"
When the other party heard the voice, his eyes fell on Gu Ning. He recognized her at a glance. His expression suddenly became ugly and his eyes were a little evasive: "You, who are you? I don't know you."
The guilty behavior of the woman made Gu Ning certain that she must have taken the jewels to have the results appraised, otherwise she would be slandered, and the other party would only be angry instead of guilty when seeing her again.
"Don't you remember? It was last Sunday, at Aiyuan Jewelry Store..." Gu Ning reminded in a kind manner.
When it came to this, the woman's face became panicked. Before Gu Ning could finish, she interrupted him and said, "Shut up!"
"Girl, what's wrong?" At this time, a woman in her early forties, dressed elegantly, came over from the side. When she saw Gu Ning and the others, her eyes widened in surprise.
When Gu Qing and Gu Man saw each other, they were obviously stunned and felt a little uncomfortable.
Gu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of coldness.
Lin Lijuan, Gu Xiaoxiao's mother.
"Gu Qing, Gu Man, why are you here?" Lin Lijuan asked in surprise.
Of course she was there. They were here to look at clothes, but Gu Qing and Gu Man were so poor that they always wore cheap clothes. How could they afford to come here!
Gu Qing and Gu Man didn't want to pay attention to Lin Lijuan, but they were relatives after all. They couldn't just ignore the question in public.
So, Gu Qing said perfunctorily: "Just came to take a look."
Gu Qing said this because she didn't want to know that they were here to buy clothes.
In front of her, they will always be poor! "Oh! I thought you found some money! You can even afford to come to a place like this? It turns out you are just here to have a look!" Upon hearing this, Lin Lijuan immediately became sarcastic, showing her strong contempt and disdain without any concealment.
"Sister Lin, do you know them?" asked the woman surnamed Jin.
"Ha! Yes! Aren't they the elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law I told you about!" Lin Lijuan sneered with disdain. The terms elder sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law are full of discrimination.
"I said so." It seems that Lin Lijuan has been making up stories about Gu Qing and Gu Man! Hearing this, the woman surnamed Jin looked at Gu Qing and Gu Man with even more disdain, but because of Gu Ning, she did not make any sarcastic remarks.
"Gu Man, you are still quite tough! You would rather move out of the old house than apologize." Although Lin Lijuan still felt resentful that Gu Ning did not apologize, Gu Ning and his daughter had already paid the price and were kicked out of the old house, so she was not as angry as before.
However, now that she saw Gu Qing and Gu Man together, she thought that Gu Qing had taken Gu Man in, which made her feel unfair again: "Gu Qing, you wouldn't have taken Gu Man in! The old lady said that if you take Gu Man in, the Gu family won't help you if you have any difficulties in the future."
He said this as if he often helped Gu Qing.
Therefore, the ignored Gu Ning couldn't help but burst out laughing. Of course, this laugh was full of irony.
It was only after hearing Gu Ning's voice that Lin Lijuan noticed Gu Ning, but she was slightly surprised at the first sight of Gu Ning.
Yes, it was amazing, because the feeling that Gu Ning gave her now was different from before.
Gu Ning actually looked more beautiful than before. Moreover, that Wei Nuo look was gone. She actually had an elegant temperament.
"Mrs. Gu makes it seem as if the Gu family has helped my second aunt. From the time my second aunt got married until now, they have overcome every difficulty on their own!" Gu Ning looked at Lin Lijuan with a smile, his tone revealing undisguised sarcasm.
Hearing this, Lin Lijuan finally reacted and her face suddenly darkened.
Although what Gu Ning said was not bad, saying it out loud was undoubtedly a slap in her face, making her feel embarrassed.
However, Gu Qing then refuted, "Lin Lijuan, our family has never received a dime of help from your family. Don't make it sound like we have received a lot of favors from your family. Besides, the fourth child doesn't even live in my house."
She indeed never received any help from Gu Qingxiang's family, so why should she let Lin Lijuan talk nonsense and take advantage of her reputation?
"You..." Lin Lijuan's face became even uglier now, but the words had already been said, and if she didn't want to lose face, she could only accept the matter.
