The little paper spirit obediently floated down the sofa and quietly slipped into the fitting room.
In the fitting room, Wenlan did indeed intend to take advantage of Madam Ji.
However, with so many staff members around, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity.
Her eyes lit up, and another idea came to her: "Qingqing, let me help you with your zipper."
As he spoke, he gave the staff member a look and went up to take over the other person's work.
She and Mrs. Ji were close friends and often helped each other with their clothes, so the staff didn't think much of it.
Unbeknownst to anyone, Wenlan secretly placed a black talisman on her palm, intending to affix it to Madam Ji.
Following Qiqi's instructions, the little paper spirit crawled inside and immediately grabbed onto Madam Ji's skirt, huffing and puffing as it climbed upwards.
Just as I climbed onto Madam Ji's shoulder, I saw Wenlan preparing to stick the talisman on.
She immediately pounced on her, and taking advantage of Wenlan's inattention, she opened her mouth and bit her hand with a loud yelp.
"Ah..." Wenlan screamed, and the little paper spirit immediately hid itself in Madam Ji's hair.
Hearing the noise, Madam Ji turned around, her face full of concern: "Lanlan, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Wenlan quickly hid the talisman in her palm and forced a smile. "I just accidentally got caught in the zipper."
"Let me see how serious the injury is..."
Madam Ji tried to take her hand to look at it, but Wenlan dodged her and explained with a slightly unnatural expression, "It's just a small injury, it's nothing. Let me zip it up for you first."
“You’re injured, let the staff handle this.” Mrs. Ji glanced at her, sensing that something was off about her.
But considering our friendship over the years, I didn't think about it too much.
Wenlan nodded awkwardly, stepped aside, and lowered her head, her eyes flashing wildly.
The master clearly said that the curse would soon take her life, so why is she still alive and kicking?
If things continue like this, when will I ever achieve my goal?
But with her eyes blind, she no longer had the chance to make a move, so Wenlan could only hold back for the time being and look for another opportunity.
Soon, the two changed their clothes, and Wenlan pulled her outside.
The bright red dress, with its well-fitting waist and simple yet elegant design, made Wenlan's already striking features appear even more stunning.
Meanwhile, the elegant Madam Ji, standing to the side, was completely overshadowed.
The staff in the store all looked at Wenlan with amazement, which made Wenlan feel extremely proud.
She then feigned admiration, exclaiming, "Wow, Qingqing, you look so beautiful in this dress! You'll definitely seduce Chengfeng!"
Qiqi blinked as she drank her milk tea.
Could this aunt be trying to make a move on Dad?
Madam Ji didn't seem to care. Instead, she looked in the mirror and frowned hesitantly, saying, "Lanlan, I don't think this looks good on me. It's too flashy. I'd better change."
"Where is the glamour? Qingqing, look at your clothes, most of them are plain colors, and they haven't changed for so many years. Be careful that Chengfeng gets tired of them one day and gets bewitched by some little vixen outside!" Wenlan said in a tone that was for Madam Ji's good. "We women still need to know how to change ourselves all the time, otherwise men will lose interest."
"But……"
"But what? With a face like yours, everyone who sees you will praise your beauty. Don't waste it!" Wenlan glanced around. "Why don't you ask them if you look good in this outfit?"
To boost sales, the shop assistants, of course, went along with her, praising Mrs. Ji to the skies.
Madam Ji was also somewhat tempted by the compliment. She hadn't bought any brightly colored clothes in recent years, and changing things up occasionally seemed like a good idea.
Just as she was about to compromise and agree, the sound of footsteps rang out, and Qiqi came over carrying a light blue dress: "Mommy, wear this, it looks good!"
This is an embroidered long dress, and the green bamboo embroidered on the dress gives a sense of understated resilience.
Madam Ji fell in love with it at first sight.
"Okay, I'll try it on." She picked up the dress and turned to go to the fitting room.
"Qingqing, you..."
Wenlan tried to stop her, but Qiqi magically shoved a cup of coffee into her hand: "Aunt Wen, have some coffee."
Wenlan: ...
That brat has no manners at all. It's one thing to interrupt when adults are talking, but now she's ruining her plans.
If Gu Wanqing doesn't wear that red dress, how can I outshine her?
But with so many people around, she couldn't very well yell at a young girl, so she could only suppress her anger and accept the coffee.
I took two big gulps before I realized, wait a minute, wasn't this girl holding her skirt just now? Where did she get the coffee from?
Did she take it later and not notice?
Soon, Madam Ji came out after changing her clothes.
The light blue color made her skin appear as white as snow, and her elegant and gentle temperament complemented the embroidered bamboo on her dress, instantly stunning the entire audience.
Even the shop assistants couldn't help but exclaim, "My goodness, Mrs. Ji is so beautiful!"
The bright red dress that Wenlan wore before, which was stunning, now looks somewhat gaudy.
Wenlan was so angry her nose almost twisted out of shape.
"Mommy, you're so pretty." Qiqi looked up at her with her little face, not holding back her praise.
Madam Ji smiled gently: "Thank you, Qi Bao. Our Qi Bao is beautiful too."
The more she looked at her daughter's little face, the more she felt that there was no more beautiful child in the world than Qiqi.
"They both look good." Qiqi hugged Madam Ji's leg, and the two of them complimented each other.
Seeing the loving scene made Wenlan feel a pang of jealousy: "Alright, since Qingqing likes this one, let's buy it."
"Um."
Just as Madam Ji was about to have someone issue a receipt and swipe the card, Qiqi suddenly said, "Mommy, Aunt Wen just said that Mommy has always been the one giving her gifts, and she feels a little bad about it, so she's paying today."
Madam Ji paused for a moment and looked at Wenlan.
"When did I..." Wenlan almost blurted out, but her expression changed halfway through her sentence, and she changed her words, "Qiqi is right, Qingqing, let me do it this time."
“Well… alright then.” Madam Ji did not refuse her.
After all, her relationship with Wenlan over the years cannot be measured by just one or two pieces of clothing.
Wenlan swiped her card to pay, and when she saw the prices of the two dresses, her heart bled.
She was jealous that Gu Wanqing had married better than her, and over the years she had taken advantage of her best friend's relationship to gain a lot of benefits from Gu Wanqing.
She always felt that since they were good friends, and Gu Wanqing was so rich, what was wrong with spending some money on her?
It really proves the saying that the richer people are, the stingier they are.
Just because of that brat's words, he actually had the nerve to ask her for money. She's so petty; she deserves to be tricked by herself.
Just as Wenlan was about to put the card away, two people suddenly walked in from outside the store, and they seemed a little surprised to see Wenlan.
"Wenlan, what are you doing here?"
