Chapter 129 Vanity
"Hey, I misjudged you."
The boss smiled awkwardly at Ling Ran.
"I thought you were a vicious stepmother who abused your daughter, so you had a bad attitude just now."
After hearing this, although He Lin still looked timid, she immediately jumped out, puffed out her chest and said with dissatisfaction.
"Sister Xiaoran is not vicious."
"If it wasn't for Sister Xiaoran taking me in, I would have been homeless on the streets!"
After saying that, He Lin seemed to realize that she had said something serious. She blinked innocently and hid behind Ling Ran again.
"Yes, yes, yes, I am the one who looks down on others."
"Little sister, just pick whatever you want?"
"How about as a gift for your sister to make amends?"
The boss clasped his hands together and kept apologizing, then pointed generously at the dazzling array of princess dresses and said.
"Pick it."
Seeing He Lin looking at him, Ling Ran nodded in response.
"Can I have a word with you?"
Then the proprietress looked at Ling Ran and asked softly.
"Can."
As they were talking, Ling Ran had already come behind the counter. The boss brought a small stool to Ling Ran. The two sat side by side and looked at He Lin who was already overwhelmed by the selection outside.
"My name is Xia Jing."
"Ling Ran."
Both of them focused their eyes on He Lin, and then briefly introduced themselves.
"Did you pick up this girl?"
Xia Jing continued to look at He Lin and then asked.
“I didn’t pick it up.”
"She was looking for a job, and I just happened to have a place to stay."
Ling Ran retorted that she did not think He Lin was a wandering person, let alone an object, it was just that both parties happened to reach a consensus.
“I didn’t feel it at first glance.”
"She looks so familiar to me now."
Xia Jing frowned and muttered. She saw Ling Ran turned his head to look at her, and then she said, "Look at the clothes she is wearing."
“Although it’s dirty, it looks pretty ordinary.”
“But they are all handmade and high-quality goods.”
"That's why I thought you were the kind of person who took over someone else's business."
Following Xia Jing's gaze, Ling Ran couldn't make out anything.
She has just entered society and she was only focused on studying at school. She wanted to become a strong woman and then take care of her grandmother. How could she have the time to pay attention to luxury goods?
As for Wu Linglong, didn’t that girl notice it today?
"What do you mean?"
Ling Ran frowned.
Does Xia Jing still think that she is a child trafficker?
"That's not what I meant."
"I just can't remember where I've seen her."
"Look at that girl, you are also a good person."
Xia Jing explained again, and after meeting Ling Ran's scrutinizing gaze, she simply blurted out, "My previous circle was a bit complicated."
"If I had ever seen her."
"She must be a rich girl."
"Take good care of her. It will be good for you in the future."
Ling Ran was very upset by Xia Jing's condescending attitude.
Ling Ran now understood.
It's not that she is kind-hearted, but she thinks He Lin is the daughter of a certain family, so she wants to get in touch with her so that when the princess returns home, she can also gain some benefits.
As for Ling Ran, it seemed that taking care of He Lin was a great gift to her.
"Xiaolin, have you made your choice?"
Ling Ran stood up and asked He Lin without any warning.
"Sister Xiaoran, it's done."
He Lin happily held the two princess dresses in her hands, grinning and squinting her eyes, smiling brightly.
One is white with small floral patterns all over it, and the other looks extremely simple, without any unnecessary patterns or embellishments.
Ling Ran nodded with satisfaction. As expected of a girl suspected to be the daughter of a wealthy family, she had good taste and she liked it very much.
"Boss, let's pay the bill."
Ling Ran put the bank card on the counter and said coldly.
“What is this for?”
"Didn't I say that it's my apology?"
Xia Jing was stunned, then looked at He Lin with a smile on her face, and looked at Ling Ran with a threatening look in her eyes.
This Ling Ran is really ungrateful. He actually prevents her from gaining favor in front of others.
"Then forget it."
"Xiaolin, change one."
After Ling Ran looked at her for a few seconds, he turned back to look at He Lin and said.
"Okay, Sister Xiaoran."
He Lin nodded in agreement without hesitation, even though she really liked the two little skirts.
But since Sister Xiaoran said so, she has no problem with it.
After all, Ling Ran and Wu Linglong are now the people she trusts the most.
"No, no."
"I take the money, isn't that okay?"
Xia Jing panicked again. If Xiang Pai Bo really walked out of the store, she would have no chance at all.
If it doesn’t work this time, try next time.
At least I became familiar to her.
"Twenty-eight thousand in total."
Taking Ling Ran's bank card, Xia Jing looked at Ling Ran meaningfully.
Ling Ran also felt a pang of pain, but still pretended not to care.
In the end, He Lin was simply allowed to go into the dressing room and change into one of the sets.
"There is a difference between you."
"You'll gain nothing by doing this."
There were only two of them left, and Xia Jing's sarcasm was revealed.
"I don't need you to teach me how to do it."
"Besides, no one else can teach me anything."
Who is Ling Ran? He is able to suppress Mo Wen completely.
Zhao Yun didn't even dare to jump in front of her. As a guest of honor in the superpower branch, what was Xia Jing to her?
She is nothing more than a rich girl with a silver spoon in her mouth, looking at people through tinted glasses and looking down on others.
Her little tricks are now exposed.
If she hadn't used He Lin, Ling Ran might have gone along with her wishes.
But now, Ling Ran just couldn't do what this villain wanted.
"Sister Xiaoran, does it look good?"
As if noticing the spark between the two, He Lin came out quickly.
"nice."
"nice."
Ling Ran nodded expressionlessly, while Xia Jing happily went up to help He Lin tidy up.
The difference between the two men was revealed again.
He Lin closed her eyes and let Xia Jing toss her around. After meticulously arranging every petal of every little flower, He Lin smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."
"I'm leaving."
"Go buy a pair of shoes."
After saying that, Ling Ran turned around and walked out, and He Lin hurriedly followed him.
Xia Jing, who had shown her courtesy, got nothing in return and stomped her feet in anger.
"Sister Xiaoran..."
"I don't ask, and you don't tell."
Ling Ran still didn't turn around and responded.
"I will definitely work hard and return the money to you."
He Lin was relieved and made a firm promise.
The saying that clothes make the man is true.
After dressing up, He Lin was no longer looked down upon by anyone, and she no longer made jokes about being a stepmother and adopted daughter.
It was several thousand dollars again, and Ling Ran had never been so willing to spend on himself.
But after looking at He Lin's smiling face, I felt like I was raising a child and I felt satisfied.
