On the weekend, Ling Yiran finally got some rare time off, so Qin Lianyi took her out to go shopping together.
The two of them had not gone shopping for a long time. Ling Yiran felt as if she had momentarily returned to the past when she strolled around with Qin Lianyi.
Before the accident, she had often gone shopping with Lianyi. She had been carefree, and her life ahead looked beautiful.
"Oh right, what about Jin? How much do you know about him now? For example, where is his hometown? What kind of people are in his family?" Basically, Qin Lianyi was mostly worried that her best friend would get swindled.
"I only know that his father has already passed away, and his mother seems to have left him. He didn't tell me anything else, and I didn't ask," Ling Yiran smiled and said.
"Are you dumb? Why don't you ask more in detail? You should at least know what he used to do!" Qin Lianyi said.
Ling Yiran smiled faintly. "Why would I need to find out what he used to do? In the past, I thought I knew everything about Xiao Ziqi – everything from his family background to the schools he attended. I even remembered his license plate and ID numbers very clearly. But in the end, what did it matter? I still couldn't see him for who he really was."
Qin Lianyi bit her lip. "Sorry."
"What's there to be sorry about?" Ling Yiran laughed. "It's nothing for you to fuss about, anyway. I know you're worried about me, but I really don't care about any of that anymore. Besides, if he doesn't want to tell me and I persist on asking, he may just make up some stories to conceal the truth, and I wouldn't be able to tell, so what's the point of asking?"
"Let's not talk about this. Come, let's go and get some new clothes. I still have to buy a set of formal clothes for when I meet clients. The boss of our design research institute has asked me to wear formal clothes when I meet clients," Qin Lianyi complained as she pulled Ling Yiran into a big store close by.
As Qin Lianyi saw it, since they wouldn't have to pay for trying on clothes, so they might as well try on as many as they liked, and then only pay for the ones that they could actually afford.
When the other staff members heard the words "sanitation worker", they all looked at Ling Yiran in surprise, and their gazes also started to fill with contempt.
"What's wrong with sanitation workers?" Qin Lianyi had been checking out the clothes on the other shelves. When she noticed the commotion, she rushed to Xiao Ziyi and said, "Which law states that sanitation workers are not allowed to enter this shop to look at clothes?"
"But can you even afford them?" Xiao Ziyi said disdainfully, "You're just a street cleaner, but you want to come to this store to check out the clothes? You just want to make trouble, don't you?"
As she spoke, she looked at the staff next to her. "Shouldn't those who deliberately make trouble in the store be 'asked' to leave?"
Xiao Ziyi was a frequent visitor here. The staff usually fawned on this young lady of the Xiao family, so the supervisor immediately walked over to Ling Yiran and Qin Lianyi and said, "If you're not planning on buying clothes, please see yourself out."
