Chapter 38: CH 38

Shi Yu was forced to become Shi Ran’s escort for shopping and purchasing equipment.

Although he didn’t have to eat the kaiseki dishes that made his flesh hurt when he looked at them, the feeling of going shopping with others was still not very pleasant.

“Sister, you’ve been shopping several times. Haven’t you come across your favorite clothes yet?” Shi Yu was a little tired and sat down on the empty seat in the central rest area of the mall.

“No.” Shi Ran shook her head mercilessly. “I don’t think these are very good.”

Shi Yu felt his feet were about to break. He waved his hand and said, “Sister, is this okay? You go to the counter over there to buy one. I’ll pay. I’m exhausted. “

“Yo, is this making a lot of money?” Shi Ran smiled and pinched Shi Yu’s small face.

“Go.” Shi Yu patted Shi Ran’s hand back, took out a supplementary card in his pocket, and asked, “Old Shi gave it to me. Do you spend it?”

Shi Ran raised her eyebrows.

She was not such a person with a backbone. She didn’t take advantage of the bastard. Her integrity was for people from Chen Ruoyu’s family background, and she couldn’t make trouble with herself.

“If I hadn’t said it earlier, of course, it would have cost me.” Shi Ran said neatly, and regardless of whether Shi Yu followed or not, she went straight to the counter of a certain luxury item she just pointed to.

Shi Haijun owes himself too much. What’s wrong with taking Shi Yu’s hand and peeling him off?

Shi Ran’s outfit today was not only stunning, but it was also a standout that could be found at a glance when thrown into the crowd.

The clerk at the counter saw her walk into the counter and immediately greeted her, asking, “Miss, what do you need?”

Shi Ran didn’t like being served warmly by the clerk, and just as she was about to say that she was shopping, she immediately fell in love with the black and white plaid dress on the model not far away.

“This one, do you have my number?” Shi Ran asked.

“Yes, please wait a moment.” The clerk replied politely and then introduced: “There is also a purple shirt skirt in the same series. It looks good with this girdle. Do you want to try it?”

“Try it. Get her all the new products of the season.” Shi Yu was tired, sat down on the sofa in the private fitting room, and brushed his mobile phone as if he was empty.

When he raised his head again, he heard the dressing room curtain being pulled open.

Countless lights shot in that direction from all directions, and Shi Ran appeared in front of Shi Yu’s eyes in the black and white plaid skirt that she glimpsed.

The slightly loose top and the bottom skirt formed a visual gap, which made Shi Ran’s slender waist even more slender.

The doll’s collar and the long hair curled like seaweed rounded the fox-like face a bit, and the red lips were all well-behaved. It didn’t look like a soul-stirring fairy, but an innocent and harmless little fox that has been lost.

Shi Yu was indeed a little surprised by Shi Ran, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.

He still remembered that the first time he saw Shi Ran, he was frightened by this sister who didn’t seem to have a good temper.

Maybe the atmosphere in that home was terrible for her. He had never seen his sister be so well-behaved and docile in all these years.

Clothesline people. People have to support clothes.

His sister was far more resilient than those pampered girls. She didn’t look like a dodder, but a tree that can grow independently.

Shi Ran, whose eyes had been on him, didn’t notice Shi Yu’s reaction at all. She tidied up her neckline in front of the mirror and said, “I still think this is more suitable for today’s occasion.”

Shi Yu nodded in agreement.

He just looked at the person in the mirror, who looked a lot more ladylike, as if he suddenly understood something, and said with a wicked smile: “Sister, why do I feel you don’t have an appointment with a friend later? but to see a lover?”

The voice fell, and Shi Ran’s hand in front of the collar paused.

She knew that Shi Yu was hitting straight, but she didn’t expect him to hit so accurately.

Shi Ran was a little guilty, but getting along with Chen Ruoyu these days has allowed her to learn some of Chen Ruoyu’s tricks.

She just skipped Shi Yu’s question and said to the clerk next to her, “That’s it.”

Then she pointed to the purple shirt skirt and bright green dress hanging in the fitting room and continued: “Both these two are also wrapped together, and he will pay.”

This mall must have never imagined that on the opening day of the fifth day of the first week, it was not the God of Wealth but Shi Ran.

Shi Yu’s shopping mission ended around noon, and his tired feet turned into sore hands and feet.

Shi Ran spent retaliatory spending and bought three or four sets of clothes from head to toe. Shi Haijun’s card will face a large amount of credit card repayment next month.

“Okay, you can go.” Shi Ran returned Shi Yu’s freedom with satisfaction.

But Shi Yu quit.

He still remembered his speculation about the person Shi Ran was going to see at noon today, and he diligently helped Shi Ran carry her things and said, “Sister, I’ll accompany you.”

“What are you doing with me?” Shi Ran couldn’t help but feel guilty again.

“I have nothing to do when I go back, anyway. Why don’t I accompany you and watch your friend come? I’m so relieved.” Shi Yu looked at Shi Ran with a smile, posing as a very well-behaved brother.

Shi Ran saw Shi Yu’s plan at a glance and said without a smile, “My good brother, you can spend so much money on me today. You don’t have to accompany me, you can leave.”

The music in the mall entered the chorus at the end, and the two were at a stalemate.

Suddenly, the chorus stopped abruptly, and a call sounded in the suddenly quiet shopping mall.

“Shi Ran, Shi Yu.”

Shi Ran reacted faster than Shi Yu, turned her head, and looked in the direction of the sound.

Chen Ruoyu arrived at the mall earlier than expected and was watching the two from a nearby escalator.

Today, she wore a coat with a black checkered frame on a white background, which made her look extra neat.

There were more people in the mall, and the two looked at each other in the flow of people. Those who didn’t know thought they were wearing lovers’ clothes.

Shi Ran was a little surprised and said, “Come so early?”

“You too.” Chen Ruoyu replied lightly, sounding like a rhetorical question.

“I didn’t.” Shi Ran shook her head and showed Chen Ruoyu the fruits of her labor with a bit of pride: “I took him to go shopping with me, and by the way, I was a coolie.”

Seeing Shi Ran’s finger reaching him, Shi Yu immediately became obedient and greeted Chen Ruoyu, “Sister Ruoyu.”

“Shi Yu.” Chen Ruoyu kept silent when she greeted her back and did not continue to be polite to Shi Yu like those people she knew on weekdays.

Shi Yu was also aware of Chen Ruoyu’s temperament, so he handed the thing in his hand to Shi Ran and said, “Since Sister Ruoyu is here, I’ll leave.”

Shi Ran, however, had not taken over what Shi Yu had in his hand.

She knew that Shi Yu had a sense of awe and distance towards Chen Ruoyu, so she deliberately asked, “Don’t stay?”

“What are you doing here? I don’t want to carry your bags with you?” Shi Yu said that both siblings are arrogant.

Shi Yu seemed a little unwilling to be handled by Shi Ran, so he took advantage of handing Shi Ran something, leaned into her ear, and said mysteriously, “Sister, I finally know why you are dressed so well today.”

Shi Ran was guilty of being a thief and asked, “Why?”

The one who didn’t want to be a thief was himself, but Shi Yu was not the judge who judged the case. He sneered and joked: “This way you and Sister Ruoyu will not be crushed when you appear in the same scene.”

When Shi Ran heard the words, she waved her hand and wanted to give Shi Yu a fist, but saw that Shi Yu responded quickly and ran away empty-handed.

Shi Ran and Chen Ruoyu were left in the lively space.

“Let’s go, let’s go eat first.” Chen Ruoyu said and reached out to help Shi Ran get some things she was holding.

Shi Ran had a lot of things in her hand; the straps crisscrossed, and the fingers of the two people couldn’t help but touch.

Chen Ruoyu’s fingers still had a cool feeling, but there was a bit of soft warmth hidden in the fingertips. With a little touch, Shi Ran’s heart vibrated gently, like a plucked string.

There were many people around. Shi Ran felt embarrassed and politely said to Chen Ruoyu, “It’s quite heavy, so let me carry it.”

However, Chen Ruoyu didn’t give her a chance to be polite and took most of the things in Shi Ran’s hand. Just like she ignored Shi Yu at the beginning, Chen Ruoyu also walked straight to the escalator on the side.

Many people were eating on the fourth floor. Chen Ruoyu and Shi Ran were on the same plane.

The natural beam of light falling from the transparent glass overhead mixed with the cold incandescent lights in the shopping mall, covering Chen Ruoyu’s body with a dusty and refined tulle, making her stand out from the crowd.

Shi Ran stood aside and stared, a little dazed.

Such a person would choose to hang out with her.

Shi Ran knew that this kind of thing had always wandered in the gray area of morality and couldn’t bear to think about it, but she still couldn’t help thinking about it.

She felt that Chen Ruoyu had too many secrets, and it was these secrets that made her who she was now.

“Aren’t you out of money?” Chen Ruoyu recognized these luxury brands that Shi Ran bought, but her tone did not mean accountability.

Shi Ran calmly recovered after hearing the words and explained with a smile: “I’m out of money, but Shi Yu’s father is rich. I dipped into Shi Yu’s light and spent my mental damage.”

Shi Ran speaks candidly and frankly, just like her daring to love and hate.

She knew that when others heard her words, she would feel that she was worthless and that the villain was successful.

But she was not a magnanimous gentleman. She just wanted revenge and wanted to take revenge for all the injustice Shi Haijun had done to her.

If Chen Ruoyu disagreed or even got angry because of what she said, she would admit it.

But Chen Ruoyu didn’t.

She took a brief look at the clothes that Shi Ran had picked out and nodded in approval. “Good eyesight.”

Shi Ran was a little surprised, but the corners of her mouth rose.

She was so arrogantly indulged by Chen Ruoyu and said proudly, “Of course. Who am I?”

The escalator quickly carried two people up to the fourth floor, but Chen Ruoyu didn’t mean to choose a restaurant along the way but led Shi Ran straight to the easternmost end of the mall.

Shi Ran was a little puzzled, but slowly, a high-end Chinese restaurant built on the top floor of the mall appeared in front of her.

She had heard of this Zhan Yuelou, and once listed it as a must-try high-end restaurant. She must have become rich.

“You invited me here?” Shi Ran looked at the nearby Zhan Yuelou, a little afraid to step out.

Chen Ruoyu was very indifferent, gave Shi Ran a soft “um,” and pulled her up the escalator together.

From the outside, this Zhan Yuelou was magnificent, with pavilions upon pavilions, and it was very charming.

The interior disappointed neither. Elegance and luxury were separated on both sides, without interfering with each other, but they were integrated with a unique charm.

Shi Ran looked at the dishes with no price on the menu at all and ordered a few thoughtfully.

When Chen Ruoyu heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Aren’t you hungry?”

“Hungry but poor.” Shi Ran said frankly, with some helplessness and grief on her face.

“Don’t worry, today’s dishes are invited.” Chen Ruoyu spoke to Shi Ran calmly, then turned around and ordered a few dishes that Shi Ran liked to eat with the server as if to reassure her.

Shi Ran felt that Chen Ruoyu was mysterious today, and she didn’t know what she was thinking about, but she knew that today’s meal had been invited, so she let go of her courage and added the dishes she wanted to try but didn’t dare to try.

Shi Ran felt Acacia and completed a major task, leaning back on the chair and letting out a long sigh of relief.

it was just that before she could fully relax, she saw a figure on the opposite side of her that she would remember, even if she was a ghost walking towards him.

Shi Haijun walked in with two men she didn’t know, one old and one young, like father and son.

The magnetic fields of the father and daughter were highly incompatible. Shi Ran was paying attention to Shi Haijun, and obviously, Shi Haijun also noticed Shi Ran when he was talking to the man.

However, when he saw this stab in his eyes appearing here, he just flashed a sullen look into his eyes, and then he turned to the man beside him and said a few words.

Not knowing what to say, the father and son looked toward Shi Ran one after another, and Shi Haijun also stopped at the table of Shi Ran and Chen Ruoyu as if they were on the way.

“Shi Ran, I didn’t expect you and Uncle Song to have such a tacit understanding that you could meet today.” Shi Haijun was worried about how he would handle this matter. The introduction: “This is the Uncle Song I told you about the other day, and his son, I told you, you two are about the same age.”

Just when Shi Haijun’s heart was turning round and round, Mr. Song, who was standing beside him, showed extra surprise and amazement.

He noticed Chen Ruoyu, who was sitting opposite Shi Ran, and the gesture he was holding just now became respectful and even humble.

This Mr. Song greeted Chen Ruoyu with a smile in front of Shi Haijun: “Miss Chen, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I didn’t even know that you had returned to China. Has your body been okay recently?”
