With a piece of sweets and a cup of coffee, Jiang Yanyu's mood obviously became fuller and he was no longer depressed.
The two planned to buy jewelry first, Jiang Yanyu wanted to give gifts; then they went to buy stationery, Yun Qiao wanted to buy two pens for the female classmates in return for the snacks they gave her; and finally they went to Jinyunzhai to make new clothes.
The shopping at the jewelry store went smoothly. Jiang Yanyu picked something at a suitable price and asked the clerk to wrap it up and deliver it to the door of Xi Mansion, where he handed it over to the doorman to deliver it inside.
There was no stationery store in the foreign store, so they drove to another street.
The department stores here are full of variety.
Jiang Yanyu saw a shop selling hats and said, "Go back and buy a hat."
"Okay, I'll buy it later when I have time."
The two of them went to the stationery shop first.
There are no special shops for stationery, they are sold in bookstores.
There is a very large bookstore downstairs of the department store, with a full range of Chinese and foreign products, and its business is very prosperous. It is also a weekend, and it is crowded with adults and children, making it noisier than Caishikou.
Jiang Yanyu frowned slightly: "There are so many people!"
Yun Qiao had already spotted the corner selling pens: "How about you wait for me outside, I'll go in and buy it and then leave."
Jiang Yanyu shook his head: "Let me go in too and help you choose a good one."
The two of them were talking and about to go in when they caught a glimpse of someone from the corner of their eye. Yun Qiao turned around and saw Xi Wenjie.
Xi Wenjie came alone to buy books and was as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.
She never imagined that she would meet Yun Qiao at the door of the bookstore - she went out without reading the almanac, which was terrible.
She snorted coldly and went in first.
Her adjutant hurriedly followed, nodding to Yun Qiao and Jiang Yanyu.
When Jiang Yanyu heard that Xi Wenjie was back, she was worried that the old marriage between Xi Wenjie and her brother would be brought up again, and she couldn't help but be particularly irritated: "She's so annoying!"
Yun Qiao patted her hand: "Just pretend you don't know her, don't take it personally."
They both also entered the bookstore.
The boy at the bookstore was busy, so Yun Qiao and Jiang Yanyu spent a moment selecting in the corner selling pens, and selected two gold-plated pens - they were both good-looking and not too expensive.
She asked the boy: "Is this kind available?"
The boy took a break from his busy schedule and said, "Yes, please wait a moment."
After waiting like this for almost ten minutes, Yun Qiao and Jiang Yanyu didn't see the boy. He was still looking for books for other customers.
Yun Qiao said to Jiang Yanyu: "Go and find a book. I'll wait here."
Jiang Yanyu was impatient to wait, and really wanted to choose a few books to go back and read, so he said, "I'll go over there, and you can come back and find me."
Yun Qiao said hello.
She opened the magazine next to her and read it while waiting.
From time to time, people would come to the stationery corner and ask questions for a long time, but no waiter came to answer. The good-tempered ones put down their things and left, while the bad-tempered ones cursed.
Laughter came from the door.
This voice seemed a bit familiar. Yun Qiao looked up and found that many people were also watching.
Several young fashionable girls came into the bookstore. They all looked quite knowledgeable, like female college students. They were beautiful, lively, and enthusiastic. They also talked loudly in the bookstore, attracting many envious eyes.
It turned out to be Xi Wenlan and others.
Among them is the school beauty Zhang Qingshuang.
"Look, is that your sister?" The girl who was traveling with her pointed it out to Xi Wenlan.
Xi Wenlan has already seen it.
However, she also saw Xi Wenjie and smiled: "Never mind it, I'll introduce you to my real sister."
Her words have a profound meaning.
Several girls looked at Yun Qiao with a little contempt.
Zhang Qingshuang was extremely disdainful in her heart: "What qualifications does she have to compare with me? The school beauty has comprehensive strength, and she is far inferior to me."
At this time, Xi Wenlan led everyone to Xi Wenjie and introduced them to the young lady from the Governor's Mansion.
All the female students were very fawning over Xi Wenjie.
And Xi Wenjie was annoyed to death. She had a bad temper and bad intentions. She knew that Xi Wenlan was using her to increase his social status, but she kept her second mother's words in mind and did not show her ferocious face.
She just nodded lightly.
In order to avoid Xi Wenlan and others, Xi Wenjie walked to the stationery corner.
Zhang Qingshuang thought in her heart: "Wen Lan doesn't have any dignity in front of her cousin."
"However, the lady from the Governor's Mansion should know me. She just looked at me several times. Maybe I am qualified to be the best friend of the lady from the Governor's Mansion."
Zhang Qingshuang thought this, and went to Xi Wenjie's side on the pretext of looking at the stationery.
