Chapter 87 - Fanning Flames
“Qingqing, this brand has a pair of limited edition best friend necklaces. They’re very popular. I often see them when I’m scrolling my phone. Let’s go and see if this shop has them,” Su Nan said as she pulled Qin Ran into a big jewelry store. Su Wang was like a parent who couldn’t control his own brat and helplessly followed behind.
“Is there that limited edition best friend necklace here?” Su Nan went straight to the point and asked the receptionist.
“Yes, come, this way please!” The receptionist’s smile was standard as she guided them gently.
On the other hand, Zhao Fang came over and asked Xing Li out for a small gathering. She even specially asked her to bring her goddaughter along.
“Sister Lili, what do you think of the western food just now?” Zhao Fang, who was covered in perfume, held Xing Li’s arm and asked.
“Very good. Your taste is always good,” Xing Li replied with a smile.
“What about Xiao Xue?”
“It’s very delicious. Thank you, Godmother and Mom, for bringing me to eat such good Western food.”
As soon as Qin Xue said this, the two women laughed until their wrinkles almost extended to their temples. They praised Xiao Xue for being so sensible.
Zhao Fang found the right opportunity and sighed deeply. She changed the topic. “If Xiao Xue’s sister, Qin Ran, can be so obedient and sensible, then I’ll be even more envious of you.”
When Mrs. Qin heard the word “Qin Ran”, her expression changed drastically. “That Qin Ran is worse than Xiao Xue’s toes. Sometimes, I really hate myself. Why didn’t I have an abortion when I was pregnant with her?”
When Zhao Fang heard this, she gave Qin Xue a reassuring look. She thought that Mrs. Qin really hated Qin Ran. Otherwise, which biological mother would say such words?
“A few days ago, Xiao Xue even told me that her big brother bought her a lot of gifts. Sister Lili, Qin Yang is really considerate as a big brother!” Zhao Fang changed the topic to Qin Yang.
As expected, Xing Li continued, “Isn’t that so? As the eldest son, Yangyang takes good care of his younger siblings. However, what’s infuriating is that he actually cared about that wretched girl, Qin Ran, some time ago. It’s really infuriating.”
“Isn’t that so? This Qin Ran has treated you so badly before. How can Qin Yang care about her? Isn’t it obvious that he wants to go against you, Sister?” Zhao Fang had always been good at fanning the flames.
As expected, when Xing Li heard this, her expression turned even uglier. “Sigh! It’s just that my eldest son has a lot of ideas in his heart. He has his own plans. No matter how angry I am, I’ll at most scold him.”
“No matter how powerful he is, he’s still your son. You have to make him listen to you and do things according to your wishes. For example, when it comes to Qin Ran, you should let him stand on the same side as you. Only then can you protect your dignity as an elder.”
At this moment, Xing Li could no longer listen to Zhao Fang’s words. Speaking of the devil, she actually saw Qin Ran’s figure in the shop ahead.
“Xiao Xue, look, is that Qin Ran?” Mrs. Qin pulled Qin Xue’s arm with one hand and pointed ahead with the other.
Qin Xue looked over. It really seemed to be Qin Ran.
Zhao Fang also listened to the conversation and looked carefully. After confirming that it was Qin Ran, she immediately encouraged Xing Li to go in.
Qin Ran and Su Nan were focused on trying on the necklaces. Coupled with the large number of customers coming and going, they did not notice the three people at all.
“Qingqing, your neck is thin and fair. You look too good wearing this necklace!”
“Your words are very honest.” Qin Ran joked with Su Nan and was very happy.
“You’ve insulted your own mother so many times, and you’re even smiling at outsiders who aren’t even related to you. Qin Ran, can you tell right from wrong?”
Hearing others say her name, Qin Ran turned around and thought that these three people were really haunting her. She could even bump into them when she came out to shop.
Qin Ran remained silent and continued to look down at the necklace.
“Sister Lili, I think your daughter really doesn’t take you seriously. The elders are already here, but she’s completely ignoring them.” Zhao Fang continued to fan the flames.
“Qin Ran, are you blind?” Xing Li raised her voice, and everyone in the shop looked at her in confusion.
Then, in front of everyone, Qin Ran still didn’t speak. She also held Su Nan’s hand tightly to prevent her from fighting with these people for her sake. Ignoring them was the best counterattack.
