Chapter 733: Pink Delicate, How Old Are You Now?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing the familiar line, Gu Yang anticipated the inevitable clash over the coveted item, a common occurrence in shopping scenarios.

However, her confusion deepened when she realized that the contender vying for the pink dress against Big Shot Sister was none other than Ye Qingzi.

Sis, you’re supposed to be sophisticated, refined, and mature. Why on earth are you wearing a pink dress?

The shop assistant, recognizing Ye Qingzi, greeted her warmly. “Eldest Miss Ye.”

This acknowledgment boosted Ye Qingzi’s spirits. This was the respect befitting the eldest daughter of the prestigious Ye Family.

Back in Jin City, she struggled to assert her authority amidst local cliques, but here in the capital, she was on familiar turf.

As a valued patron of the store, Ye Qingzi’s presence posed a dilemma for the shop assistant. “Miss Ye, this customer has already decided to purchase this dress. Perhaps you might consider a different option? This particular style doesn’t align with your usual taste.”

Ye Qingzi was well aware of this fact, but she had no real interest in the dress. She had simply spotted Gu Jin and her sister and decided to stir up trouble.

Raising her chin slightly, she replied, “Have they paid yet?”

The clerk hesitated. “Not yet, but…”

Ye Qingzi let out a small laugh, cutting off the shop assistant. “If they haven’t paid, then it’s mine. I’ll pay double the price.”

“I’ve already paid.” Gu Yang interjected, brandishing her phone at the shop assistant before swiftly placing the pink dress into Big Shot Sister’s hands.

Both Ye Qingzi and the staff were taken aback by Gu Yang’s decisive action—they hadn’t expected her to act so swiftly.

Shaking her head in mock exasperation, Gu Yang teased, “Granny Ye, pink is for the tender-hearted. How old are you now?”

Ye Qingzi’s fury bubbled to the surface. “Gu Yang!”

Gu Yang’s smile remained, her tone teasing. “Oh dear, calm down, Granny Ye. We’re in public, you know. If someone you know were to witness your outburst, it might tarnish your reputation.”

Despite the sting of Gu Yang’s words, Ye Qingzi begrudgingly acknowledged the truth in them. She was a refined young lady from a prominent family, not some unruly shrew. She couldn’t afford to act impulsively.

Swiftly regaining her composure, Ye Qingzi plastered on a genteel smile.

Observing that only Gu Jin and Gu Yang were present, Ye Qingzi recalled the rumors she had heard earlier. With a touch of smugness, she inquired, “Gu Yang, Gu Jin, I heard about your mother’s car accident.”

“I hope Auntie is recovering well. We’re acquainted, after all. If Auntie’s condition worsens, you must inform Brother Yize and me so we can offer our condolences.”

“And if she becomes disabled, we must pay her a visit.”

It was essential to relay the news and ensure her happiness.

Ye Qingzi had secretly relished the news of Ruan Xueling’s accident, even indulging in an extra bowl of rice with each meal. However, the marketing account responsible for spreading false rumors about Ruan Xueling’s demise had been dealt with by Qiu Baizhou and his followers, dissuading any media outlet from interviewing Ruan Xueling upon her discharge.

They feared being caught by the students of Jin University’s law department, who might assign them as homework for spreading false information.

As a result, news of Ruan Xueling’s recovery and discharge remained confined to Jin City. Ye Qingzi remained unaware of her current status.

However, Ye Qingzi had viewed the video footage of the car accident at the time. Being a medical student herself, she understood the severity of Ruan Xueling’s injuries—it was entirely plausible that she could have bled to death. Even with medical intervention, the likelihood of disability was high.

Gu Jin’s demeanor turned icy. “Blind to the facts?”

Gu Yang’s temper flared as well. “Granny Ye, my mother is in good health. If you have eyes, use them wisely.”

“Furthermore, Mr. Xiao’s sister met her demise because of your actions. Stop calling him ‘brother’ to his face while disparaging him behind his back.”

Ruan Xueling hadn’t anticipated being falsely rumored dead simply because she had stepped into a fitting room to try on some clothes.

Standing behind Ye Qingzi, she spoke softly, “Sister Ye, I heard you were looking for me?”

Enraged by Gu Yang’s accusations, Ye Qingzi was taken aback by Ruan Xueling’s unexpected presence.
