Ji Tian looked at her suspiciously, “Really giving it for free?”

She didn’t believe Gong Dongxi was kind enough to give her anything.

Yet, Gong Dongxi, like a proud peacock, held her head high, “Of course.”

“Any amount of money?”

Gong Dongxi’s temple twitched, she looked at her impatiently, “Yes! You can only take one item.”

Many luxury items here are worth tens of thousands; with so many people here, Ji Tian would end up at a huge loss later!

Seeing that she was genuinely willing to buy sothing for them, Ji Tian clicked her tongue lightly, “You are quite nice, I misunderstood you before, so I won’t be polite then.”

“…”

Instead of feeling happy, Gong Dongxi felt that Ji Tian was implying she had been bad before.

Seeing Ji Tian walk in first, she looked at Shen Zhiyi and scoffed coldly, “Co on, are you waiting for to invite you in? Don’t get frightened by the prices inside, you bumpkin.”

Shen Zhiyi didn’t want to bother with her, but since she was outnumbered, she had no choice but to go in and secretly sent a ssage to Bai Tingyu.

“After they split up, find a place to corner Shen Zhiyi,” Gong Dongxi told Bei Ning.

Bei Ning hesitated a bit before nodding.

She felt sowhat resentful; forcing her to do such disagreeable tasks was intentional since Shen Zhiyi would probably realize that it was Bei Ning who pushed her down the stairs in the secret room last ti.

Feng Juanjuan imdiately took up the conversation, “Then let’s go in and choose so things?”

The others cheered and went inside together.

Gong Dongxi scorned them in her heart; indeed, a bunch of bumpkins who hadn’t seen the world.

The luxury store was a Milan brand nad YOMI, where a simple camisole started at three to four thousand, not to ntion dresses and winter coats.

Even the discounted sumr clothes were priced between five and six thousand, and new items were even over ten thousand.

Besides clothing, YOMI also had a gemstone series, with a wisteria-colored diamond necklace visible right at the entrance, priced at one hundred thousand.

The store attendant spotted Gong Dongxi right away, treating her as if she were a god of wealth, “Miss Gong, you haven’t been here for a long ti, we have many new items that would suit you. Would you like to take a look?”

Gong Dongxi enjoyed this star-like treatnt, taking the tea from the female attendant leisurely, “This ti I brought my friends to pick out items they like. Just take good care of them. I don’t mind.”

This was big business.

She beca even more enthusiastic, “Your friends are truly fortunate to know you. Ladies, let show you our new YOMI winter collection, including clothes, bags, shoes, and jewelry. See if there’s anything that catches your eye.”

Ji Tian, who had seen plenty of fine things, wore clothes custom-made by her mother, all limited editions and mostly dresses. For convenience, she bought so cheaper clothes herself; the coat she wore outside was ordered from a certain treasure for less than two hundred.

Yet the attendants, despite their simple attire, did not look at them with disdain; they had good manners and enthusiastically helped them try on clothes.

Shen Zhiyi stood still, firmly declining, “These are all too expensive. I don’t need you to buy anything for , Gong Dongxi. I appreciate the gesture, though.”

“Heh, country bumpkin,” Gong Dongxi was ruthless in her sarcasm.

Gong Dongxi’s close friends covered their mouths and laughed, “Really rejecting a face given, liking to steal others’ boyfriends, right? Our Xixi is kind-hearted, giving you sothing you normally can’t afford, and you don’t accept it, thinking too highly of yourself. Mr. Bai can only be our Xixi’s; you bumpkin, roll aside.”

Shen Zhiyi clenched her fists in endurance, surrounded and pointed at by their group.

Gong Dongxi, flattered, felt much better, “Brother Yu can only marry in the future. Shen Zhiyi, if you don’t want trouble, just transfer schools and stay away from my Brother Yu, or else I’ll make you pay!”

The store attendants saw the conflict between the two, but since Gong Dongxi was their custor, they pretended not to see and attended to the others to pick out clothes.

Shen Zhiyi looked towards Ji Tian but noticed she had already gone to the gemstone section, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the diamonds. Under these circumstances, she could only rely on herself.

She took a deep breath, “Student Gong, we live in a society governed by law. You should keep your gang-like statents to a minimum in the future. As for and Bai Tingyu, I haven’t seduced him, and he has said that he only sees you as a sister and doesn’t have a ‘girlfriend’ notion. If you like him, you should win his attention with your own capabilities instead of threatening here. Even if I leave, he won’t like you.”

“You!” Gong Dongxi quickly raised her hand and slapped Shen Zhiyi.

It all happened in a flash, before anyone could react. Shen Zhiyi covered her hurting left cheek, tears welling up in her eyes as she stared intensely at Gong Dongxi’s face, twisted by jealousy.

The noise inside the store caught Ji Tian’s attention.

Her first thought was that Gong Dongxi was done for.

In the next instant, Bai Tingyu, bringing with him a chill, pushed open the door and shoved the unguarded Gong Dongxi to the ground.

Her knee knocked against the porcelain-white floor, causing Gong Dongxi to gasp in pain. Upon recognizing the person, Bai Tingyu, looking anxious, focused his attention on Shen Zhiyi’s face, and regardless of his manners, reached out to touch her bright red cheek, “Zhiyi, are you alright?”

Shen Zhiyi shook her head, her tears falling to the floor as she looked down, “Ayue, I’m fine… It wasn’t Student Gong’s intention. It’s all because I share a class with you that I angered her. I’ll go and ask the teacher to change my class on Monday.”

Bai Tingyu’s anger was unmistakable, “I won’t allow it. I’ll look after you at school. Who would dare to disrespect us?”

He then turned a cold gaze towards Gong Dongxi. There was no trace of the childhood friendship that once existed, only disgust remained, “Gong Dongxi, I have tolerated your antics in the past, but you crossed the line by bothering Zhiyi. She doesn’t compete or grab; she just focuses on her studies. Yet, she has to deal with harassnt from soone as vile and foolish as you. I know what you are thinking, and I’m telling you it’s impossible. I, Bai Tingyu, only like Shen Zhiyi. If it wasn’t for Gong Yu’s sake, I wouldn’t let you off today, but I hope there won’t be a next ti. Otherwise, I’ll make you face consequences you can’t bear.”

The entire store silenced by Bai Tingyu’s words. Gong Dongxi, with wide, tear-filled eyes, finally understood how he viewed her—as foolish and malevolent. She strived so hard in her studies, surpassing Ji Tian, just to be recognized in higher social circles, where even adults ntioned her na alongside Bai Tingyu’s rather than Ji Tian’s.

But it was useless.

No matter how hard she worked, Shen Zhiyi suddenly appeared and ruined everything she had built.

Bai Tingyu couldn’t wait to leave this place. Holding Shen Zhiyi’s hand, he walked towards the exit, “This store is not worthy of you. I’m going to buy the best for you and book the entire store.”

Only after they had moved a considerable distance did everyone snap back to reality.

Bei Ning couldn’t help but look at Gong Dongxi, who was silently crying with a bruised knee.

They had all heard.

Bai Tingyu had confessed for the first ti that he liked Shen Zhiyi—it was a direct blow to Gong Dongxi’s dreams. She felt as if the sky had fallen as soone helped her sit on a couch reserved for resting.

Soone sent a ssage to her brother. Seeing her in this state, her siblings were worried.

Ji Tian picked out the most expensive athyst diamond necklace in the store and approached her, “Why did you even ss with them? There are millions of n in the world; if not one, we just move to the next one. Why hang yourself on one tree? He’s not any good.”

Seeing as Gong Dongxi was so generous in buying her the jewelry, she decided to offer so advice. However, her attempt was t with a glare from Gong Dongxi as she wiped her tears with her arm, “Mind your own business! I won’t give up. I will prove I am ten thousand tis better than Shen Zhiyi. Brother Tingyu will eventually see my worth.”

Ji Tian: “…”

Your Brother Tingyu is blind, changing his eyes might not even help him see you.

Ji Tian didn’t want to crush her but seeing her hopelessly in love, she could only bitterly wish her well, “Alright, I hope you succeed soon.”

“By the way, you said you were paying for this jewelry, right? You won’t ditch the bill, will you?”

Gong Dongxi: “…”

She nearly cried again.

Here she was, heartbroken, and Ji Tian still rembered the paynt!

Feng Juanjuan was also worried that because of this incident, Gong Dongxi might not buy it, so she watched nervously as Gong Dongxi had just picked a piece of clothing, not the most expensive in the store, just over twenty thousand—a small amount for Gong Dongxi.

Gong Dongxi bit her lip and said sharply, “Pay! Put everything on the counter. I’ll pay for them altogether.”

The saleswoman, particularly solicitous, placed the selected items on the counter while still processing the event of Mr. Bai taking away that poor girl. It’s really true that appearances are deceiving; a pheasant might actually fly onto a branch and turn into a phoenix.

Gong Dongxi, feeling slighted by Shen Zhiyi, couldn’t swallow her pride thinking about Bai Tingyu leaving without a backward glance with that wretched woman. She wanted to vent her frustration.

As Ji Tian placed the million-yuan diamond necklace on the counter, Gong Dongxi’s eye twitched—she truly had no understanding of politeness; the total of the items on the counter was actually four hundred and fifty thousand.

For Gong Dongxi, that was half a year’s living expenses. She had about five hundred thousand in savings in her bank account. Luckily, she wasn’t planning to pay herself, but to make Ji Tian bear the cost.

In the expectant stares of everyone, Gong Dongxi began searching her bag, frowning, “Eh, where’s my card? I definitely had it here, what’s going on? I didn’t leave it at ho, did I?”

She kept digging—in and out—but couldn’t find her bank card.

Ji Tian, speechless watching her, saw Gong Dongxi’s anxious eyes dart towards her, that hesitating hopeful look.

Finally, as the situation grew increasingly awkward, Ji Tian couldn’t take it anymore, “Can you find it? If not, I’ll do it.”

Gong Dongxi had been waiting for those words and quickly nodded, “Yes, go ahead.”

The next second, Ji Tian snatched the bag and rummaged inside, assertively throwing her card on the counter, “Here it is, found it. Swipe it.”
