So now the situation is, Jiang Yuanlong and his wife are turning a blind eye to the matter between Jiang Xun and Zhou Yun, not interfering much anymore.

And Feng Nianian, she hasn’t given up on Jiang Xun over the past year, often hears Yu Rou talking about how the three are entangled in such earth-shattering drama.

Every time Jiaojiao hears this, she can’t help but recall their childhood. Jiang Xun has always been able to endure hardships since he was young—he worked at a kiln factory for schooling. So later, when he refused to compromise and preferred to endure hardships outside rather than go back, it wasn’t all that surprising.

This Jiang Xun, whether in past life or this one, is quite inspirational, except he has bad judgment and is quite sloppy and scummy when it comes to relationships.

Jiaojiao spent a class period daydreaming. After class, Li Yaoyao packed up her things, while Chen Hui and Wu Huan approached.

"Are you going shopping this afternoon? It seems a bit cold, and I’d like to buy some clothes," Li Yaoyao asked her.

Jiaojiao nodded indifferently: "Sure, let’s go." Duan Xi has been too busy lately, anyway, she’s alone at home with nothing to do.

Chen Hui and Wu Huan have other things to attend to in the afternoon, so they didn’t join them.

After having lunch at the dorm keeper lady’s place, Jiaojiao returned to her dorm to rest. Upon hearing that she planned to go shopping with Li Yaoyao, Li Que and Liang Wenjing expressed interest in joining, except for Cao Qiu, who had work to do and couldn’t make it.

Except for Liang Wenjing’s family being slightly less well-off, Li Que and Li Yaoyao’s families are quite good; the four went straight to the mall for shopping.

Jiaojiao rarely goes shopping for clothes herself because her aunt is in the clothing business, and each year Jiaojiao has enough clothes to wear a different one daily, so she hardly ever buys clothes herself.

This is the first time in years she’s gone clothes shopping. While Li Yaoyao, Liang Wenjing, and Li Que were trying on clothes, Jiaojiao noticed a men’s clothing store across from them, filled with formal attire. Jiaojiao couldn’t help but remember seeing Duan Xi in a suit last time; Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, she told the three in the fitting room and headed to the store across.

They entered through the side entrance, and the store clerk might not have seen them; moreover, Jiaojiao dislikes having staff follow her while shopping, so she stayed silent and browsed by herself. When she saw a long coat, the material looked pretty drapey, she couldn’t help but reach out and touch the fabric.

Just as she touched it, a female voice came from behind: "Miss, the clothes here are all imported from YDL, the materials are the finest, please don’t touch them carelessly."

Though the words were polite, the underlying meaning was clear—the clothes are expensive, don’t touch them if you can’t afford them.

Jiaojiao frowned and turned to look at the speaking clerk, getting a bit stunned.

The clerk was startled seeing her too. She hadn’t recognized Jiaojiao from the back and thought Jiaojiao’s simple attire and youthful appearance might indicate she couldn’t afford items from the store, which usually caters to successful clientele, so the clerk just politely reminded her, never expecting her to be Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, what are you doing here?" After finishing trying on clothes, Li Yaoyao and the others came over, curious to see Jiaojiao standing there unmoving and walked over to her.
