Chapter 32: Do you call all your “ordinary friends” “baby”?

That voice…

Qiao Shuyi slowly looked up from her phone and looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, a slender, pretty girl was holding a man’s arm and excitedly pointing at a piece of clothing for him to see.

The man was carrying five or six shopping bags in his hand.

It was not difficult to see that they were all brands of women’s clothing.

Qiao Shuyi raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

She actually ran into them?

The girl in front of her, wasn’t it Liang Man?

But the man beside her, Qiao Shuyi didn’t recognize him.

From the man’s attire, he should be someone with a little money.

But not very rich.

At least, not as rich as the Gu family.

Qiao Shuyi suddenly felt curious. Wasn’t she supposed to be dating Gu Linchuan?

What was their situation now?

…Had they broken up?

Or was Liang Man secretly flirting with other men behind his back?

Humans are naturally gossipy creatures.

Especially when it comes to people they dislike.

Qiao Shuyi’s gossip heart was at its peak at this moment.

She hoped it was the latter.

After all, what could be more satisfying than Gu Linchuan being cheated on?

Thinking about this, Qiao Shuyi secretly opened her phone camera.

Pretending to be playing with her phone casually, she was actually recording.

“Baby, you’ve already bought so many clothes today, I can’t even carry them anymore. How about we come back next time?” The man coaxed gently.

Liang Man, however, disdainfully glanced at the bags in his hand: “It’s okay, I can carry them too. It’s not like you have to carry them all by yourself… You wouldn’t be feeling sorry for the money, would you, Mr. Xu?”

“How could I? Okay, okay, you continue looking. We’ll buy whatever you like!”

A smile finally appeared on Liang Man’s face: “Then I won’t be polite then～”

With that, she started picking out clothes on her own.

The man’s expression instantly became one of pain, but when Liang Man looked over, it instantly turned into a smile again.

Just at that moment, Zhao Jiajia, who had changed her clothes, came out of the fitting room and asked excitedly, “What do you guys think of this outfit on me?”

“It’s pretty good.”

“It looks good!”

Everyone was very complimentary.

Zhao Jiajia looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a little dissatisfied.

When her gaze swept over Qiao Shuyi, who was sitting there with her chin in her hand, lost in thought, she suddenly had an idea.

“Qiao Qiao, you have good taste. Tell me honestly, how does this outfit look on me?”

Zhao Jiajia’s voice was not small, at least Liang Man, who was only four or five meters away from her, could hear it.

Qiao Qiao?

Liang Man almost instantly turned her head and looked in Qiao Shuyi’s direction.

Then, she saw that face, the one she cared about and envied so much, smiling at her.

Her eyes seemed to be saying: Long time no see.

Liang Man instantly froze in place, her face becoming extremely unnatural.

Qiao Shuyi…

“Qiao Qiao, I’m asking you. Does this outfit look good on me?”

Seeing that Qiao Shuyi ignored her, Zhao Jiajia had to call her again.

Qiao Shuyi finally withdrew her gaze, propped up her chin and looked her up and down.

“This outfit looks alright, the color and style are fine, but there’s nothing particularly outstanding about it. It mainly depends on the price. If the price is right, you can get it, but if it’s expensive, it’s not worth it.”

” …Okay then, I think it’s a bit expensive. I’ll try on another one.”

With that, Zhao Jiajia went back into the fitting room.

On the other side, Liang Man had also come back to her senses, put down the clothes in her hand, and quickly walked towards Qiao Shuyi.

“Why are you here?”

As soon as she opened her mouth, it was full of questions.

Qiao Shuyi smiled at her: “Why can’t I be here?”

Liang Man bit her lip and didn’t speak.

She wanted to say, this isn’t a place where you rich girls come to buy clothes?

But when she saw Qiao Shuyi sitting with a few other girls, who were looking at her with curiosity, she swallowed the words back.

“Qiao Shuyi, I warn you, don’t talk nonsense!”

Before Qiao Shuyi could speak, Chen Yue and the others beside her were unhappy.

“Who are you? Why are you talking so rudely?”

“Are you threatening our Qiao Qiao?”

“You are…” Qiao Shuyi glanced at the man who was burying his head in his phone, lost in thought, and smiled meaningfully: “Does Gu Linchuan know that his girlfriend has a new boyfriend?”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yue and Wang Ning’s eyes widened, their faces full of gossip.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Liang Man’s eyes flashed with panic: “He’s just an ordinary friend!”

“Ordinary friend, huh…”

Qiao Shuyi nodded thoughtfully, her innocent big eyes wide: “But why did I just hear him call you ‘baby’? Do you all call your… ordinary friends that?”

She deliberately emphasized the words “ordinary friend”.

A burst of giggling came from beside her.

Wang Ning whispered to Chen Yue: “I didn’t expect Qiao Qiao to be so sharp-tongued.”

Liang Man gritted her teeth, glared fiercely at Qiao Shuyi, and the hatred in her eyes was almost tangible.

But the next second, Qiao Shuyi changed her tone and smiled gently: “But don’t worry, I’m not that interested in other people’s business. But if someone provokes me… it’s a different story.”

“You better keep your word!”

Liang Man muttered these harsh words and turned to leave.

“Mr. Xu, the clothes in this store are not good at all. Let’s go to the next one!”

Soon, the two of them left hand in hand.

As soon as the two of them left, Chen Yue and the others immediately surrounded her, asking questions in a flurry:

“Who was that woman? She was so annoying.”

“I smell gossip.”

“What’s your relationship with her, Qiao Qiao? And who is this Linchuan you mentioned…”

…

Looking at everyone’s gossipy expressions, even Zhao Jiajia, who had just come out of the fitting room, quickly joined the gossip circle. Qiao Shuyi raised her hand and rubbed her forehead: “This is a long story…”

“It’s okay, we have plenty of time. Let’s find a place to sit and talk slowly.” Zhao Jiajia smiled with a “understanding” expression.

The group of them did as they said, not even bothering to continue shopping, and found a dessert shop to sit down.

While eating dessert, they prepared to listen to the gossip.
