No matter what Zhu Guihua thought, it had no effect on Lu Huaijiao.
She took her money and swaggered out of the police station.
As for Zhu Guihua's murderous glare, it had no effect on her whatsoever. Walking to Zhu Guihua's side, looking at Zhu Guihua's distorted face, Lu Huaijiao clicked her tongue.
Surprisingly, they stopped in their tracks, not minding the other person's smell.
"You're still upset? Trying to play petty tricks?"
Zhu Guihua glared at her.
His big, yellow teeth looked like they were about to be crushed.
Lu Huaijiao raised her eyebrows slightly, released Gu Changzheng's hand, crossed her arms in front of her chest, put one foot on a flowerpot, and leaned forward slightly.
She parted her red lips slightly and said, word by word, "The policy I follow is: I will not attack unless attacked."
"If you insist on being a jerk..."
She paused, glanced at Zhu Guihua with a light laugh, and then continued, "Killing you is as easy as killing an ant for me."
Lu Huaijiao is not the kind of person who can be easily manipulated.
Don't be fooled by her seemingly erratic thinking; if you truly anger her, the consequences will be dire.
Zhu Guihua shrank back slightly, intimidated by Lu Huaijiao's imposing manner. Lu Huaijiao scoffed and turned back to her delicate and charming self.
"It stinks, Gu Changzheng! I need to go back and change my clothes right away, or I'll be suffocated by the stench."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back now."
Gu Changzheng has always spoiled his little darling.
However, before leaving, he still couldn't help but glance at Zhu Guihua. Even in this unfamiliar place in Shanghai, he wouldn't allow anyone to bully his wife in front of him.
Zhu Guihua hadn't recovered from Lu Huaijiao's gaze when Gu Changzheng stared at her again, making her feel like the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end.
She didn't know the specifics of what happened, but she was definitely intimidated by the eyes of the young couple, the calloused young girl, and the country bumpkin from the village.
She was terrified.
It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he wanted to start a verbal attack, but Lu Huaijiao and the others had already left.
Zhu Guihua could only stomp her feet in frustration, cursing and swearing at Lu Huaijiao and the others before quickly turning her anger towards her daughter, Qin Lan.
Yes, in Zhu Guihua's mind, it was all Qin Lan's fault, that money-loser. If she hadn't been so bad at controlling her stepdaughter, how could she have caused so much trouble?
All of this is because of Qin Lan.
If Qin Lan weren't so useless, the courtyard on Wuyi Road would have been ours long ago.
She couldn't just throw away 500 yuan for nothing.
No, we must get those five hundred yuan back from Qin Lan.
Not only that, she also wants more money, to get back the money she spent raising that brat Lu Huaiyu.
Having figured things out, Zhu Guihua got up, dusted herself off, and hurriedly left the police station to go to the Public Security Bureau to settle accounts with Qin Lan.
After leaving the police station, Lu Huaijiao and her companions, as usual, went to the imported goods store to look at wedding dresses and suits...
In a big city like Shanghai, Lu Huaijiao fully demonstrated her talent of being "good at nothing but spending money," spending hundreds or even thousands of yuan at a time.
Even though Gu Changzheng was mentally prepared, Lu Huaijiao's enormous spending made him question his life choices.
No, it's self-doubt.
He began to doubt himself completely, realizing he couldn't possibly support Lu Huaijiao anymore.
"What's wrong?"
When Lu Huaijiao came out wearing a white wedding dress, she saw Gu Changzheng's solemn expression.
She mistakenly thought that the style of her wedding dress was not suitable.
"Don't you think this piece of fabric on the wedding dress is a bit of an eyesore? I think so too. What do you think about tearing it off and showing off the shoulders?"
Lu Huaijiao gestured as she reached out to pull the wedding dress off her shoulder.
"Jiaojiao..."
Gu Changzheng quickly came to his senses and stepped forward to hold her hand: "You look beautiful like this. Jiaojiao in this wedding dress is the most beautiful girl in the world."
So please don't tear off the wedding dress from the shoulders.
Her outfit was already enough to make anyone's blood boil, but if she tore off the wedding dress from her shoulders, it would make anyone who saw it bleed three liters.
She's trying to kill people!
"But I don't think it looks good like this. I think it would look better if I showed my shoulders."
Lu Huaijiao was still muttering to herself.
At this moment, Gu Changzheng couldn't care less about how to make more money. His top priority was to stop his little darling's dreadful idea of exposing his shoulders.
The thought of others seeing her fair and smooth shoulders made Gu Changzheng so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.
“This looks really good, our ancestors. Think about it, this is how they originally did it, so it must look good this way. If you change it randomly, it might have the opposite effect.”
"Counterproductive? Are you questioning my judgment, Gu Changzheng?"
Lu Huaijiao, who was being questioned, refused to accept it.
She stopped arguing about her wedding dress and focused on making him understand that her taste was impeccable and not open to questioning.
In particular, Gu Changzheng was not allowed to question it.
Gu Changzheng: ...
After a lot of coaxing, the little darling was finally appeased, and the wedding dress was saved, but the money...
Forget it, compared to my little darling, money is really nothing.
Where do we go now?
As Gu Changzheng emerged from the import store carrying large and small bags, he inquired of Lu Huaijiao.
Lu Huaijiao pouted: "Aren't you hungry? I'll take you to eat something delicious, a place only I know is good."
"Alright, then we'll have to trouble Jiaojiao..."
Before she could finish saying "了", a middle-aged male voice interrupted, "Are you... Huaijiao?"
Lu Huaijiao stopped in her tracks.
Gu Changzheng also stopped in his tracks.
The couple looked at the serious-looking middle-aged man to the side.
(Zhang Yuan: ...)
"Uncle Zhang Yuan? My mom's classmate? I've met you before."
Lu Huaijiao recognized Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan exclaimed in surprise. However, when he saw Lu Huaijiao's face, which was almost identical to Su Xiaowan's but with even more lively features, he understood.
Although this little girl is young, she is, after all, Xiao Wan's daughter.
With such a smart mother, the daughter will surely surpass her.
Zhang Yuan smiled.
"Yes, I saw you once when you were very young. I don't know if you remember."
"Hey? Uncle, you gave me a doll back then, right? It's a pity the doll disappeared later..."
Lu Huaijiao was very disappointed.
That was a gift she received when she was three years old, and it was one she loved very much.
Zhang Yuan was surprised that Lu Huaijiao even remembered this.
He happened to run into Lu Huaijiao, who was celebrating her birthday outside, so he went to a store and bought her a doll. He thought Lu Huaijiao would refuse it, but to his surprise, she not only accepted it but also thanked him with a smile, saying that she liked it very much.
Zhang Yuan still doesn't understand why Lu Huaijiao was so friendly to him.
