Chapter 2331: Chapter 2150: Yellow Jacket
Lu Yaobing’s face immediately darkened.
This was a gift from the mistress, and it’s quite valuable. I only just started wearing it happily, but now Zhang Yanhong has scratched it.
"Give it to me." Lu Yaobing coldly extended her hand to Zhang Yanhong.
Zhang Yanhong carefully handed the watch back to Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing took a closer look; the originally flawless sapphire glass surface has three scratches.
It’s important to note, sapphire glass isn’t real sapphire. It’s a high-strength glass made from aluminum oxide powder, resistant to corrosion and wear, but not completely scratch-proof; contact with glass or sand could scratch it.
Earlier, Zhang Yanhong intentionally scratched the car glass, which was enough to damage the watch’s surface.
Lu Yaobing surveyed her brand-new watch’s surface, internally bleeding.
"Bingbing, you won’t make me pay, right? I really have no money; renting is so expensive, and I’m living paycheck to paycheck, with no savings!" Zhang Yanhong pitifully asked Lu Yaobing.
"Yes, Bingbing, look at you, covered in designer brands. Don’t hold it against Yanhong!" Wang Fang said to Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing frowned and reluctantly said to Zhang Yanhong, "It’s fine, no worries, it’s just a shallow scratch, I don’t mind."
"Bingbing, you’re really mature, scared me to death. I thought all my savings from the year would have to be paid to you!" Zhang Yanhong said to Lu Yaobing.
"Hehehehehe" Lu Yaobing forced out an awkward smile.
"See, your classmate is so understanding!" President Li, who had been driving, also praised Lu Yaobing.
Lu Yaobing pretended to be tired, leaning against the car window, not saying a word.
Not far behind President Li’s car, there was another car following leisurely; inside sat Dragon Three, who was simultaneously driving and calling Chu Xianling.
"Madam?"
"Oh, Dragon Three, how’s it going? Where’s the young lady?" Chu Xianling asked.
"Madam, here’s the situation. The young lady went to the second floor of the herbal wholesale market to buy medicinal herbs. The herbs she fancied were not for sale for some reason, so she’s planning to return to discuss with you. But on the way, she met her high school classmates and another man. The young lady wants to hang out with them, prefers I don’t follow, so we’ve agreed I’ll follow secretly behind them." Dragon Three reported in one breath.
"Oh... you said there’s a man with them?" Chu Xianling asked.
"Yes." Dragon Three answered.
"Then keep a close watch, the young lady is quite naive, don’t let those old men bully her, otherwise the sect leader will be furious; last time an incident happened, the sect leader almost lost his temper!" Chu Xianling said.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Dragon Three said to Chu Xianling, "Understood! Rest assured, madam!"
"Mm, thank you. When you return, I’ll make delicious food for you, okay?" Chu Xianling asked.
"Madam, that’s not necessary; the young lady might not return anytime soon."
"Mm, keep an eye on her, and call me immediately if anything happens."
"Understood!"
"Oh, by the way, you mentioned you didn’t buy the herbs?" Chu Xianling asked Dragon Three.
"Yes, the young lady says they hide the best herbs and won’t sell them to her." Dragon Three said.
"Oh..."
"Alright then, I know people at that herbal wholesale market, tell Bingbing that I’ll take care of the herbs." Chu Xianling said to Dragon Three.
"Okay."
President Li took Lu Yaobing, Zhang Yanhong, Wang Fang, and Zhao Wenyu to Wangfujing.
Wangfujing sells everything—household goods, hardware supplies, clothing, shoes, hats, jewelry. The street’s architecture is nostalgic and culturally rich, bustling with people, almost as if time travel has brought a crowd of tourists from various countries and places into a former dynasty mansion, exuding a grand and majestic atmosphere.
"Wow, how impressive!" Zhang Yanhong, Wang Fang, and others couldn’t help but exclaim, while Lu Yaobing only felt the bustling street was headache-inducing.
Moreover, Lu Yaobing still felt heartache over her watch, lacking the mood to enjoy.
President Li walked with the four girls for a while. The girls, inherently better at shopping than the boys, quickly led President Li to beg for mercy: "Take your time shopping, I’m leaving. I have other matters, enjoy yourself tonight!"
President Li left, leaving the four girls to shop.
Zhang Yanhong, Wang Fang, and Zhao Wenyu bought clothes, jewelry, and gifts, while Lu Yaobing picked up some souvenirs: two clay figurines and some paper cuts.
Then the four of them walked to Ruifuxiang.
Ruifuxiang specializes in robes and jackets, where many socialites custom order high-end cheongsams.
"Hey, shall we go in and take a look?" Lu Yaobing looked at the storefront display of yellow jackets with interest.
"These are things worn by people from the old royal court, can you really wear them out?" Zhang Yanhong said.
"Indeed, Bingbing, have you been watching too many Qing Dynasty dramas? These yellow jackets don’t look good and aren’t wearable outside; what’s the point in buying them?" Wang Fang asked Lu Yaobing.
"Bingbing, are you thinking about buying a cheongsam to wear?" Zhao Wenyu asked Lu Yaobing.
"A cheongsam suits Yanhong better, great figure; wearing a fitted, slit cheongsam would be incredibly sexy." Wang Fang said to Zhang Yanhong.
"That’s right!" Zhang Yanhong’s eyes lit up in realization.
So the four girls entered Ruifuxiang.
"Hello, ladies, interested in checking out the cheongsams?" The shop assistant was dressed in a standard Qing Dynasty-style service attire, a long gown with a round hat.
