“What are you apologizing for? I was forced to celebrate Yin Zhen’s birthday that day. I was in a bad mood and my words were a little harsh. Don’t take it to heart.” Lin Gantang made up a story.
Zhang Rongqing thought to herself, “So that’s what happened. Lin Gantang and Yin Zhen don’t get along. No wonder 1 was wondering why Lin Gantang attended the event. Turns out she was forced into it. If that’s the case, it’s understandable that things got tense that day.”
“Should I go change my outfit?” Zhang Rongqing noticed that Lin Gantang was wearing a simple white T-shirt and a short skirt, without any eye-catching details.
However, Zhang Rongqing couldn’t resist her good looks. She purposely pulled out a beautiful dress from the wardrobe and then headed to the changing room.
After Zhang Rongqing left, Lin Gantang turned to Che Qin and smiled at her.
Che Qin was pleasantly surprised, as she had tried to engage with Lin Gantang multiple times before, but had been ignored each time.
“The fruit tea you made is delicious. Can I add you on WeChat? I’d like to ask you for advice later,” Lin Gantang inquired.
Che Qin readily agreed, and they added each other as friends. Lin Gantang continued, “Could you do me a favor and bring my fruit tea from the living room? I want to pair some shoes for Rongqing here. Later when we go shopping, you can join us.”
“Not a problem. I’ll be right back.”
Che Qin brought the fruit tea while Lin Gantang stood by the dressing table. She took out the skincare products Zhang Rongqing had given her and swapped them out for a complete set.
Zhang Rongqing had only used the products a couple of times, but there was no noticeable reduction. The two sets looked nearly identical.
Then, Lin Gantang picked out a pair of high heels from the shoe cabinet for Zhang Rongqing. They matched her dress perfectly. Zhang Rongqing changed into them as soon as she saw them and exclaimed, “Gantang, you have a great eye for fashion. Although I feel a bit embarrassed, I only have these few pairs of shoes.”
In the past, upon hearing this, Lin Gantang would have casually mentioned giving her two pairs. However, today, Lin Gantang seemed not to grasp her hint and responded, “Oh, come on. Your shoes are all from the latest collections.”
Zhang Rongqing mumbled to herself that she should have been more straightforward.
“Do you still want to apply makeup?” Lin Gantang asked. “If not, we can head out.”
“Oh… yes, please.” Zhang Rongqing quickly took a seat at the dressing table. “I’m practically makeup-free right now. I wouldn’t dare to go out like this.”
Lin Gantang pretended not to notice the eyeliner and nude lipstick on Zhang Rongqing’s face.
Che Qin brought over the fruit tea. Lin Gantang thanked her and sipped it while watching Zhang Rongqing’s efforts to touch up her makeup.
During this time, Zhang Rongqing applied some lotion to her chin, but she didn’t realize that the products had been swapped.
The Zhang family’s car was driven out by Father Zhang. Lin Gantang arranged for her driver to take them to Beaver Square.
Che Qin touched the car’s interior and felt a tinge of envy.
Beaver Square had attracted many luxury brands. Lin Gantang vaguely remembered that this place might be a property under Shengfang.
With a clear goal in mind, the three of them went directly to select jewelry.
Che Qin stared at the dazzling jewelry displayed in front of the cabinets. It was overwhelming, and she didn’t dare to try anything on.
Zhang Rongqing gestured to the salesperson, indicating that she wanted to see one piece after another. She seemed eager to try them all on.
“Gantang, this one looks great.” Zhang Rongqing tried on a bracelet.
“Do you want to buy it? I have a membership card.” Lin Gantang pulled out a gold card from her bag.
“I’ll look around a bit more.” Zhang Rongqing sensed that Lin Gantang had no intention of footing the bill, so she didn’t push it.
She thought that maybe just one necklace would be enough.
Thus, Zhang Rongqing asked the salesperson to put the items away and focused her attention on the necklaces.
The salesperson noticed the super VIP card, thinking that the Miss dressed so simply must be the one with real spending power. However, the salesperson had guessed wrong. Lin Gantang didn’t intend to spend. After her rebirth, she hadn’t squandered any of the money in Mr. Lin’s supplementary card.
So when she mentioned the two necklaces, she hadn’t intended to purchase them.
Zhang Rongqing was so excited. Lin Gantang wondered what her disappointed expression would look like later..
