Chapter 15 Why did he buy her so many expensive things?
Fu Yanhao was also stunned, his suspicious gaze falling on his older brother, as if his older brother was a little different today.
He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it was just different...
Fu Yanchen remained silent. As an autistic patient, it was difficult for him to speak a long sentence, and his tone was very slow.
Over time, he became even less inclined to speak.
Zhao Baoqi happily hugged Xia Mian's arm, "Bestie, now is the time for us to exchange little secrets."
She dragged Xia Mian directly into the villa's elevator, saying, "Now I want to see your bedroom!"
Fu Yanshen followed the two girls back to the room.
He opened his warm, large hand, revealing two blood-soaked cotton swabs. He took a deep sniff of the faint smell of blood on the swabs and closed his eyes slightly.
After a while, he opened the exquisite tin box, put the cotton swabs inside, placed them together with the notebook where the hair had been caught, and then locked it.
Xia Mian had no idea that best friends could get along like this... After she brought Zhao Baoqi to the bedroom, Zhao Baoqi jumped onto her bed, exclaiming, "Wow! So soft! I want to sleep with you tonight!"
"Your best friend is going to sleep together?" Xia Mian's eyes widened in shock. "I'm not a very good sleeping man..."
Zhao Baoqi opened the wardrobe with a grin, "Wow! Your clothes are so beautiful, so many!"
She suddenly pulled out a dress, her eyes filled with jealousy and shock. "This brand of clothing is so expensive! It starts at six figures! Does Grandma dote on you that much? She actually got you clothes from this brand!"
"My mom never buys me clothes from this brand. I only have one dress from this brand!" Zhao Baoqi said, frustrated. "What's going on?"
The Fu and Zhao families never advocated extravagance, so Zhao Baoqi's food, clothing, and daily necessities were always within a controllable range.
"This dress..." Xia Mian looked at the dress Zhao Baoqi had shoved into her hands, "is it really that expensive?"
She never knew.
"But Grandma Fu said that the clothes in my closet weren't bought by her..."
Zhao Baoqi blinked. "If it wasn't Grandma who bought it, then who else could it be?"
"I don't know." Xia Mian shook her head. "Really, I'm not lying."
"Alright then." Zhao Baoqi glanced at Xia Mian's dressing table again. She picked up a pearl necklace from the jewelry box and looked a little doubtful about life.
"Australian white pearl? I'm starting to doubt if I'm really the eldest daughter of the Zhao family... I don't even have an Australian white pearl that big."
Such a large Australian white pearl is extremely rare, and would cost at least a million dollars.
After Zhao Baoqi finished touring Xia Mian's bedroom, he pulled Xia Mian aside and they began to share their hobbies, personalities, zodiac signs, blood types, and other tidbits of information.
This includes food preferences, clothing styles, and even favorite lipstick shades and eyeshadow colors.
Xia Mian watched as Zhao Baoqi, like a little sun, recounted the history of various brands with great familiarity, as well as many things she didn't know about, such as attending fashion shows, charity galas, and auctions...
The Xia family is considered a small wealthy family, but in the past, the brothers always gave the tickets to these events to Lu Lian'er, and she rarely attended.
She was used to a simple life and didn't realize how vast the outside world was.
"Mianmian, there's a show next week. Let's go see it together. We'll sit in the front row, the best seats." Zhao Baoqi smiled and picked up his phone to show Xia Mian the advertisement for the brand's big show.
Xia Mian was shocked to discover that this brand was LX, the most expensive dress in her wardrobe!
“You have so many of their clothes, you must be a VIP! You need an admission ticket.” Zhao Baoqi said as he sent a message to the brand’s publicity director.
"Wow! Mianmian, the director replied to me. You're not just a VIP, you're a diamond-level VIP!" Zhao Baoqi was speechless. "Just how many of their clothes do you own? Even their gold level requires spending over three million."
“A diamond-level diamond would cost around five million…” Zhao Baoqi looked Xia Mian up and down, his eyes filled with shock. “You? Five million?”
“If I had five million, I would definitely buy an apartment nearby, instead of shamelessly… uh… staying here temporarily.” Xia Mian’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat from being so intimidated by this diamond-level VIP status. “Besides, I don’t even have that many of their clothes in my closet, maybe only a dozen or so pieces…”
"More than ten items is already a lot! You're not some kind of hidden rich woman, are you?" Zhao Baoqi looked at Xia Mian speechlessly. "I'll give you the director's WeChat; he'll send you an admission ticket."
After Xia Mian added the director on WeChat, the director began to confirm her information. When she saw the phone number she had left with the brand, her eyes widened in surprise.
That string of numbers...
"Mianmian, what's wrong?" Zhao Baoqi touched her arm when she didn't say anything.
"Uh, it's nothing." Xia Mian's heart was pounding, and she quickly turned off her phone screen.
Her expression gradually became dazed. How could this be...?
The sunlight streaming through the window shone on her, and behind her was a princess-style bed. The entire room was no different from the one she had at the Xia family home…
She always thought it was a coincidence.
So, isn't it a coincidence?
Or was it done intentionally?
"Mianmian, what are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?" Zhao Baoqi stared at Xia Mian with wide eyes. Why had Mianmian been so absent-minded since earlier?
"Uh, what did you say?" Xia Mian smiled apologetically.
“I said, we should go downstairs for dinner.” Zhao Baoqi took Xia Mian’s hand and led her outside. “My mom and dad will be coming over later. I’ll introduce you to them.”
The two girls ran downstairs together; the family dinner was almost ready.
Everyone was already seated around the large, round dining table.
Madam Fu was clearly in a very good mood. Beside her were her daughter Fu Yubai and son-in-law Zhao Liangyuan, followed by the twin brothers.
The twin brothers were sitting next to Fu Yanshen, and there were two empty seats next to him.
Zhao Baoqi subconsciously chose another empty seat, leaving the one right next to Fu Yanshen empty.
There was no way around it; her fear of her older brother was ingrained from childhood, and her instinct told her she didn't want to sit next to him.
Xia Mian hesitated for a moment, then sat down next to Fu Yanshen.
The man's presence and oppressive aura were so strong that Xia Mian sat ramrod straight, not daring to overstep his bounds in the slightest.
She didn't even dare to look at him. She really wanted to ask him about that brand of clothes... but she wasn't sure what he was thinking.
And those clothes were so expensive; she was ignorant before, but now that she knows, she wouldn't dare wear them at all.
They're practically walking money.
Can I return it? If there's a 30-day or 7-day no-reason return policy, can I return it?
The thought of those ridiculously expensive clothes puts immense pressure on her.
As she was lost in thought, she heard Fu Yubai greet her with a smile, "This must be Miss Xia, right? You're really beautiful."
Xia Mian immediately stood up and responded very politely, "Hello, Auntie, hello, Uncle."
Zhao Liangyuan and Fu Yubai exchanged a smile. "Baoqi likes you quite a bit. She's just a bit of a madwoman. You'll have to be more tolerant of her in the future."
Xia Mian nodded immediately, "Miss Zhao is very nice, she's very welcoming..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhao Baoqi interrupted her domineeringly.
