The next day at noon.
After Chi Gui finished her lunch and was tidying up the house, she realized she had run out of many daily necessities.
She simply decided to go out for a shopping trip.
Chi Gui’s thod of shopping was straightforward and brutal: she targeted a large mall and swept from the top floor to the bottom, buying everything in one go.
She had developed this thod because she used to be too busy to shop, so she simply bought everything she needed all at once.
“Which mall will you go to?” Xing Gu still acted as Chi Gui’s bodyguard, and usually also served as her driver whenever Chi Gui went out alone.
Chi Gui glanced at the list of malls on her phone and randomly selected one, “Let’s go to Phoenix Mall.”
Phoenix Mall was the largest and most comprehensive mall in Capital City, nad after an ancient mythological beast from Huaxia. It was even said to have been checked by a master.
The entire mall had twenty-three floors, covering almost all aspects of life: food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainnt.
Chi Gui had always enjoyed visiting it and had not had the chance to visit it since her return.
Xing Gu responded with an okay and then started the car, driving towards Phoenix Mall.

anwhile.
Mrs. Fu was having tea and chatting with several wealthy ladies in the rest area of Phoenix Mall.
As they were talking, a group of people slowly walked over from a distance.
The woman leading them was stylishly dressed, wearing a European wide-brimd hat and sunglasses, with a uniquely designed but beautiful erald ring on her right index finger.
Seeing Mrs. Fu seated in the chair, the woman halted in her steps, and then removed her sunglasses, expressing her surprise, “Sister? Are you out shopping today? After all these years, why do you always avoid ?”
Mrs. Fu’s expression changed noticeably upon seeing the woman, “Zheng Wen…”
“Oh, you still rember my na!” Zheng Wen chuckled, her face bearing so resemblance to Mrs. Fu’s, marked with a touch of sarcasm, “I thought once you married into the wealthy Fu Family, you would have forgotten your own family. That’s why you’ve been avoiding for over twenty years!”
The other wealthy ladies sensed the tension and excused themselves.
Zheng Wen took the opportunity to sit opposite Mrs. Fu, her fingers hooked around her sunglasses, lightly laughing, “How have you been doing recently? I heard you’re not just playing with mud at ho with your husband anymore and want to return to jewelry design?”
Mrs. Fu’s face turned pale instantly.
The accident that had almost killed her years ago lood over her like a dark shadow; her lips involuntarily trembled, yet she could not utter a word.
A few won accompanying Zheng Wen ford a circle around the two, blocking the view of outsiders.
Seeing Mrs. Fu’s condition, a flash of contempt crossed Zheng Wen’s eyes as she sneered, “I advise you not to return to the jewelry industry. Back then, you must have offended so big shot, and you almost died. The Fu Family didn’t even dare to pursue the matter. If you co back, who knows if you’ll be lucky enough to escape death a second ti?”
Her words were like the final straw that broke the cal’s back. Mrs. Fu’s body shook violently, and with all her strength, she finally managed to spit out, “Zheng Wen, I may not have pursued the incident back then, but don’t think I don’t know who was behind it. Don’t go too far!”
At the entrance of the mall.
Just as Chi Gui was about to take the elevator directly, she paused, looking puzzled towards the rest area.
With her sharp eyesight, she saw the crowd from a distance, and her expression subtly shifted. She then turned and walked towards the rest area.
In the rest area, Zheng Wen heard Mrs. Fu’s words and suddenly laughed, “So, you knew?”
She leaned on the table with both hands, slowly stood up, and whispered into Mrs. Fu’s ear, “Then I wonder if you can withstand a second blow?”
“You!” Mrs. Fu was furious, turned to leave, but was blocked by the people Zheng Wen had brought.
She and Mr. Fu were used to living in seclusion and were not accustod to bringing bodyguards when they went out; she hadn’t expected to be cornered by Zheng Wen today.
