Su Qianxun stared at Xia Chuxi’s expressionless face. He was looking at her with an accusing gaze. She kind of felt like laughing. ‘Satisfied? What am I supposed to be satisfied with?
‘It is so obvious that Qiao Yiren planned everything and framed me, to the point that she wanted me dead. Don’t tell me that he still finds me unreasonable right now!’
“Your body has not recovered completely yet. Let’s go home first.” Xia Chuxi put an arm around Qiao Yiren’s shoulder and prepared to leave with her. He glanced at the young woman opposite him again, this time in disappointment.
Ye Gu, who was sitting in the car not far away from them, watched everything with a cold expression on his face. He only drove the car away after Xia Chuxi and Qiao Yiren left in a car.
Su Qianxun turned expressionlessly and continued walking down the corridor. If Xia Chuxi were to treat her like this two months ago, she would still be upset over it. However, right now, she felt nothing.
At night, the driver from Jin Garden fetched her back to Jin Garden. Long Sijue was not in Jin Garden. The butler said that he was out on a business trip.
The next few days were peaceful for Su Qianxun. She would even ask the driver to fetch her home after class so that she could have dinner together with her younger brother and Aunt Zhang before heading back to Jin Garden.
On Sunday, Su Qianxun gave Gu Mian a call and asked if she had time to hang out.
Gu Mian had been resting in the hospital for the past few days, and she had almost recovered completely. However, the scab had not fallen off the wound on her forehead.
Gu Mian borrowed a pair of scissors from a nurse and gave herself bangs to cover the scab. She then got changed and went to meet up with Su Qianxun.
On the ground floor of the shopping mall, Gu Mian ran happily towards Su Qianxun upon seeing her. When Su Qianxun saw Gu Mian’s new hairstyle, she asked, “Why did you get bangs?”
“Why? It doesn’t look good? I think it’s pretty nice.” Gu Mian raised her hand and fiddled with her straight bangs. There was a bright smile on her petite, diamond-shaped face.
“It’s nice. You look pretty in any hairstyle. It’s a special day today, so I’m going to buy a gift!” Su Qianxun suddenly said in a very solemn tone.
“A special day? And you need to buy a gift? Who’s birthday is it?”
“Yes, it’s your birthday today!” Su Qianxun extended her hand and pinched Gu Mian’s smooth cheek.
“Today’s my birthday? I totally forgot about it.”
Even though there was a smile on Gu Mian’s face, she was feeling bitter on the inside. Ever since she married Tang Zui, every single day had been hell for her. Of course she was not in the mood to remember her own birthday.
“Yup, and that’s why I want to buy you a gift! What do you want?” Su Qianxun held Gu Mian’s arm and started walking.
“There’s no need for that. Why don’t you just treat me to a slice of cake or something?” Gu Mian knew that Su Qianxun did not have much money right now.
“That wouldn’t do! You know what? I’ll buy you an outfit. You’ll be going to classes next week, right? You can wear the new outfit to campus.”
“Hm, I’ll be attending classes next week. We’ll get to spend more time together.”
This was the only thing that could bring Gu Mian joy right now.
Su Qianxun dragged Gu Mian to the womenswear section. Gu Mian knew that the clothes in this mall were rather expensive, so she tried her best to only look at clothes that were on discount. She did not want Su Qianxun to spend too much money on the gift.
However, Su Qianxun had her mind set on buying Gu Mian a beautiful outfit for her birthday. She saw a pink dress and felt that it would look extremely good on Gu Mian.
“Mian Mian, this dress is really beautiful. Go ahead and give it a try.” Su Qianxun held the dress before Gu Mian’s body to show her how well the dress suited her.
Gu Mian glanced at the price and said, “It’s a bit expensive. Let’s forget about this one.”
“Doesn’t matter. It’s your birthday, and I want you to become the most beautiful girl in the world today.” Su Qianxun insisted that Gu Mian try that dress on.
The salesperson was all smiles as she led Gu Mian to the fitting room. Suddenly, a shrill voice rang out, “I want that dress. Bring it over here so that I can try it on!”
