He Yi, He Chen, and He Xiaoguo also went, but he insisted on staying.
He Jing didn't show much expression after hearing this, only a hint of surprise, and then continued to ask, "Has Third Brother eaten?"
Instead of answering, He Zhou asked, "Are you going to some kind of dress-up ball?"
He Jing paused for a moment, then quickly realized the crux of the matter. No one else but Cheng Yi would have said this. She smiled and nodded, "Yes."
He Zhou then asked, "Have you bought the evening gown yet?"
He Jing shook her head: "I don't plan to buy one. I'm going to rent one from a dress shop. I asked around, and it only costs two thousand yuan to borrow one. I'll be careful not to wear it out."
He Zhou's expression was unreadable: "Xiao Yi said that during the entire masquerade ball, you'll have to change into at least three different dresses."
He Jing said nonchalantly, "There's no need to be so formal. Wearing one is fine too."
Anyway, she didn't plan to stay there all night.
She slipped away about halfway through the dance; she still had homework to do.
He Zhou said coldly, "No, since we're going, we can't embarrass the He family."
He Jing said helplessly, "Okay, I'll think of another way, Third Brother."
He Zhou fell silent. He knew perfectly well that her so-called solution was to change the rental process from one dress to three, and that she would have to pay for any dresses that got stepped on or snagged.
In that case, it's better to own a dress of your own.
He Jing really didn't understand why He Zhou would care about such things. If it weren't for her classmate's birthday, she wouldn't even bother to go, let alone rent three dresses.
Two thousand yuan for one, six thousand yuan for three. She has too much money to burn, which is why she would invest so much in a dance party. It would be more practical to use that money to supplement her household expenses.
Anyway, balls are nothing new to her. She's not a rich girl anymore, and she has no interest in trying to fit into a social class that doesn't belong to her.
In the evening, He Ninghe and Cheng Yi returned, each carrying large and small bags, all filled with exquisite clothing and accessories.
Cheng Yi looked very happy and said, "My brothers are tall, so they look good in anything."
The brothers followed behind her in relative silence; this trip had cost them several thousand yuan.
Cheng Yi bought three sets of clothes for each of them, from head to toe including underwear. Even He Zhou, who didn't go, had three sets of clothes bought for him, according to He Sui, who was about the same size as him.
Upon entering, the brothers stopped when they saw the people sitting on the sofa.
Cheng Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Sister He Jing!"
He Sui threw down his clothes bag almost instantly and rushed to He Jing, saying, "When did you get back? Why didn't you call me beforehand?"
He Jing said, "Fourth Brother, you're living too close. I have a key to the house, so it doesn't matter whether I call or not."
He Sui retorted, "How can these be the same?"
If he had known she was coming back today, he definitely wouldn't have gone out.
He has no interest in buying clothes; as long as he has something to wear, that's enough. Compared to clothes, he prefers fragrant beef balls.
He Jing glanced at the others: "Second Brother, Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, why aren't you coming in?"
The three brothers crossed the threshold in increasing silence. To be honest, they now felt like they had been caught in the act of adultery.
Unfortunately, He Jing, who had been "cuckolded," did not show much emotion. She simply waved to He Xiaoguo and called out, "Xiaoguo."
He Xiaoguo's eyes lit up, and like a little golden retriever, she wagged her tail and jumped into He Jing's arms, sweetly and adorably calling out, "Sister."
