Chapter 448: I’m Not Saying Anymore, I Forgot What I Wanted to Say
After Gu Qingjiu and Yu Bao’er had left the mall, Yu Bao’er then cautiously asked Gu Qingjiu,
“Qingjiu, are you alright?”
Of course, even a goon could tell that Gu Qingjiu was not alright.
But Yu Bao’er had never imagined that the usually tranquil Gu Qingjiu could have such a scary side to her.
She recalled that back in the troops, when Feng Meiyun got into an argument with them, Gu Qingjiu had never revealed such an expression.
However, it was far less scary than what she witnessed a moment ago.
The way she was looking at that woman was so ferocious, it was as though she was going to skin and eat that person alive.
“It’s fine.”
Once Gu Qingjiu had gone out, she resumed her usual calmness.
Guessing that Yu Bao’er was startled by what just happened, she softly asked with a smile, “And you, what did you buy when you went in just now?”
A look of hesitance flashed across Yu Bao’er’s face.
She wanted to ask Gu Qingjiu what exactly had happened earlier and what her relationship with that woman was.
But since Gu Qingjiu wasn’t taking the initiative to tell her, she decided not to ask after giving it some thought.
Everyone had some secrets they didn’t wish to tell others about. Clearly, this was the case with Xiao Jiu’er.
She decided she had better not make things difficult for her.
Hence, she simply replied to Gu Qingjiu’s question, “Well, I had no choice you see. That salesperson introduced some items to me so patiently and gently. I felt bad to receive her service for free if I didn’t buy anything.
“But the things in Fortier are really expensive. I only bought a jade accessory, and it already cost me half the red packet money I had saved up all these years. I have no idea how I’m going to tell my older brother and the rest about it when the time comes…”
Gu Qingjiu was speechless.
As she spoke, she retrieved that jade accessory to show Gu Qingjiu.
Unsure whether to laugh or to cry, the latter took a look and saw that it was a necklace. It had a pendant that was a small, round, smooth piece of jade encased in silver.
Although it gave off an elegant aura, it didn’t seem to suit Yu Bao’er.
Gu Qingjiu thus frowned. “These big brands place a lot of focus on providing excellent service, so such attitudes are to be expected. You better not enter such shops in the future. I fear you might incur a loss everytime you go in. Also, this necklace really doesn’t suit you.”
She was rather straightforward. Yu Bao’er also nodded and said, “I won’t be the one wearing it. I was thinking, it’s my mom’s 40th birthday next month and I had to get her a present. And it so happened I chanced upon this today.”
This necklace was indeed more suitable for someone older.
Gu Qingjiu felt better hearing this. “If it’s a present for your mom, it doesn’t matter if it’s a tad more expensive.”
Moreover, the 40th birthday was a significant event.
And it was important to be filial to one’s mother, after all.
“Yeah.”
Yu Bao’er placed her arm around Gu Qingjiu’s shoulder, as though the two of them had forgotten about what happened in the shop earlier.
“Speaking of which, I think you had something to say to me before I entered Fortier’s?”
Surprisingly, Yu Bao’er still remembered this.
Gu Qingjiu rolled her eyes. “I’m not saying it anymore. I forgot what I wanted to say.”
Since she was interrupted earlier, of course, she had to leave this lass hanging for a while.
Yu Bao’er couldn’t let it rest like that. “Aiyoh, tell me what it is, will you? Xiao Jiu’er, how can you treat me like this?”
“Hahaha, I don’t know anymore. Try guessing!”
The two of them joked around as they walked away from the mall and disappeared into the crowd.
