As the two women went upstairs, they happened to meet two people who were acquaintances of Lu Huaijiao, who were also browsing clothes in the men's clothing section upstairs.
"Jiaojiao, what do you think of this one? Will it make him look younger?" As soon as Niu Fangfang went up to the third floor, she took a liking to a short-sleeved shirt on the mannequin.
This shirt is quite different from other shirts. It's light blue, a relatively rare color for menswear (relative to the 1980s). Moreover, the fabric isn't pure cotton or polyester; it's a different kind of fiber.
According to the people at the textile factory, the technology came from Hong Kong, and the fabric produced is not easy to wrinkle and feels cool to wear.
When Lu Huaijiao heard Lin Yang's report, she immediately decided to have them produce a batch of summer clothes to test the market acceptance of this new type of fabric.
Niu Fangfang took a liking to it at first glance; she felt that at least in terms of style and color, it was quite appealing.
"Sure, this shirt is quite nice and makes you look younger."
“Yes, look at the color, the style, the smooth cut…” Niu Fangfang is also a design student, so she can’t help but judge the quality of the dress from a professional perspective.
Lu Huaijiao stood aside with a smile, listening.
This dress wasn't designed by her classmates, but by a senior in their field; Niu Fangfang had never seen it before.
Since she liked it so much, Lu Huaijiao told her to go to the sales clerk and choose a suitable size to pack it up.
"No need to choose, this size is just right."
As Niu Fangfang was speaking, she was about to remove the clothes from the mannequin when a hand reached out from the side and pressed down on the shirt.
"Aunt Qin, what do you think of this outfit? Will Teacher Lu look especially young and handsome in it?"
A very familiar voice rang out from the side.
Lu Huaijiao looked up.
Zhao Rui, whose lower abdomen was slightly protruding, stood to one side with a beaming smile, pointing to the shirt that Niu Fangfang had taken a liking to, and asking Qin Yanhua, who was carrying large and small bags behind her.
Unlike Zhao Rui's glamorous attire, Qin Yanhua was dressed in a disheveled state, with her clothes and pants patched in several places, and her shoes were worn-out black cloth shoes with thick soles that she had sewn herself.
Upon hearing Zhao Rui's words, Qin Yanhua raised her head.
"Xiao Rui, if you think it looks good, then it must look good." As she spoke, her gaze passed over the shirt and unexpectedly fell on Lu Huaijiao and the others.
Qin Yanhua's face immediately changed color.
"Lu... what are you doing here?" She looked extremely flustered when she saw Lu Huaijiao.
The feeling was like being caught red-handed doing something wrong.
His eyes kept flashing as he thought about telling Zhao Rui to leave.
However, Zhao Rui also saw Lu Huaijiao. Given that she disliked Lu Huaijiao in the first place, how could she leave so easily after seeing her enemy?
Therefore, instead of looking at Qin Yanhua's obviously uncomfortable expression, she took a step forward, thrusting her slightly protruding belly forward, and supporting her waist with one hand, posing as if she were ten months pregnant.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Who do we have here? It's Comrade Lu Huaijiao. What? You're shopping too?"
Her gaze swept across Lu Huaijiao's face, and seeing Lu Huaijiao's ever-enviable beauty, she quickly shifted her gaze to Niu Fangfang's face beside her.
Niu Fangfang was wearing a simple white dress, which, although it had no patches, was a bit old.
Zhao Rui sneered when she saw this.
"Is this your first time here? The things here aren't cheap. If you can't afford them, just look and leave quickly so as not to delay other people from buying."
Zhao Rui's words were brimming with pride.
I don't know who gave her the courage to be so proud, an orphan whose family was destroyed and who had squandered all her wealth.
Lu Huaijiao and Niu Fangfang exchanged glances, both seeing in each other's eyes the meaning that 'this person has a screw loose'.
Although Lu Huaijiao is usually a fearless person, she disdains to pay attention to people who are obviously mentally challenged.
You can't always associate with mentally challenged people, otherwise, even normal people's intelligence will be affected by their mental limitations.
To protect their own minds, Lu Huaijiao and Niu Fangfang made the decisive decision to stay away from Zhao Rui, who they considered to have a screw loose.
Just then, a salesperson came by, and Niu Fangfang asked the salesperson to wrap up the shirt she had her eye on, and she bought it.
"Good guest."
The saleswoman reached for the shirt, but Zhao Rui grabbed it and stopped her.
"I'll take this shirt. Wrap it up and give it to me."
"Excuse me..." The saleswoman looked at Zhao Rui with some difficulty, "This lady here decided to buy first. Would you like to take a look at other styles? We have many new styles of clothes here."
The saleswoman was there to sell things, so naturally she wanted to sell more. Therefore, when Zhao Rui tried to argue with Niu Fangfang over the shirt, the saleswoman suggested that Zhao Rui look at other clothes.
"No, I've got my eye on this one. Give it to me. My boyfriend is a teacher, and this shirt looks best on him."
Zhao Rui was very pleased with herself.
When Zhao Rui said this, Lu Huaijiao glanced at Qin Yanhua behind Zhao Rui, wanting to see what Qin Yanhua's expression was.
Unfortunately, after discovering Lu Huaijiao, Qin Yanhua kept her head down for some unknown reason.
She really did look just like a maid serving a wealthy woman.
Lu Huaijiao sneered inwardly, and as she was about to look away, she was surprised to find that Qin Yanhua's hands, hanging at her sides, were tightly gripping the sides of her trouser legs.
The bones on the back of the hand are protruding.
This shows the extent of the force they used.
Is she angry?
Why?
Lu Huaijiao thought for a moment and came to two conclusions. First, she had seen her 'enemy' but was pretending not to recognize her, so she was very angry?
Secondly, Lu Zhengde was clearly her man, but they gave him to Zhao Rui for their own ulterior motives. Not only that, Zhao Rui also had to spread rumors about it, which Qin Yanhua couldn't accept.
For some reason, Lu Huaijiao leaned more towards the second guess.
She felt that Qin Yanhua was so angry because Zhao Rui was spreading rumors about her relationship with Lu Zhengde.
Given Qin Yanhua's possessiveness towards Lu Zhengde, it's normal that she couldn't tolerate it.
Looking at Zhao Rui's behavior, it's not hard to guess that Zhao Rui didn't know that Qin Yanhua was Lu Zhengde's wife.
Tsk...
That's really interesting!
Lu Huaijiao smiled.
Zhao Rui, who was giving the waitress a hard time, became agitated the moment she heard her laughter, just like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
"Lu Huaijiao, what are you laughing at? Do you think I can't afford it or what?"
