Chapter 6
Qiao Yuechu was surprised and stunned.
Her entire body was filled with strength.
Chi Wei just called her mother!
Her daughter looked so obedient and her voice was so sweet.
She silently clenched her fists and tried to compose herself, but Qiao Yuechu still ended up giggling foolishly.
“There are such beautiful words in this world…”
“Weiwei, quickly come with Mommy. I was worried that you wouldn’t have any clothes to wear, so I specially ordered some clothes for you from a trendy brand that many young ladies like nowadays. The clothes are in the living room. Let’s check them out together!”
“I definitely won’t allow my daughter to wear tattered clothes.”
“…”
Chi Wei pursed her lips.
“I’m not…you’re imagining it.”
Before Chi Wei could say anything more, she was interrupted by an excited Qiao Yuechu.
“Whatever you like, Mommy will buy it for you!”
–
They walked to the living room.
Qiao Yuechu did not see the bags of clothes that she had received earlier.
Instead, there was only one bag left by the coffee table.
Qiao Yuechu stared blankly at the old lady who was leisurely sipping her tea. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
The bad feeling came true when an elated Chi Wan appeared.
“Thank you, Auntie!”
“These clothes are so beautiful. I really like them!”
Chi Wan had already changed out of her light yellow dress. She currently had a brand new pink dress on instead.
The light pink dress was more of a peach blossom color.
The hem of the dress was decorated with a few small diamonds and when lights were reflected, there was a dazzling shine.
It was simple.
This dress was the most expensive one out of the batch that Qiao Yuechu had bought. It was a new and limited edition from the S family boutique. The dress was certainly not cheap, and because of its exquisite design, many girls desired it.
“But… I bought this dress for Weiwei. Your legs aren’t as long as hers, so it does not look as good when you wear it.”
Qiao Yuechu muttered without realizing it. She did not expect such a situation to unfold.
..
The atmosphere in the living room changed. It was silent.
Chi Wan’s sweet smile also faded.
Of course, she knew that these dresses were bought for Chi Wei. Even though Qiao Yuechu had doted on her for all these years, she would never go to such lengths.
So why was Chi Wei given such special treatment as soon as she came?
She did not expect Qiao Yuechu to say the truth so bluntly.
Qiao Yuechu even said that her legs were short right in her face!
“I’m sorry…”
“I thought that you bought these for me since I’m participating in the competition. I didn’t expect that they were for…”
Chi Wan paused at the end of her sentence. As if she had suddenly thought of a solution. She looked at Chi Wei and said, “Sister, how about I return them to you after my competition is over?”
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tears. She looked very pitiful.
Once again, Qiao Yuechu was at a loss for words. She did not know how to respond. Her expression was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her face.
After spending so many years together, she naturally had some sympathy for this obedient little niece of hers. Usually, she would buy her some minor gifts, but this time, the gifts were meant for her precious daughter. The more Qiao Yuechu thought about it, the more depressed she became.
On the other hand, the old lady who was sitting at the side pushed her reading glasses upwards and slowly turned the bracelet made of Buddhist beads in her hand.
“It’s just a few pieces of clothes.”
“Wanwan is going to participate in a large-scale competition. Of course, she has to wear something decent. These clothes should be given to her in the very first place.”
“And I think that the dress looks better on Wanwan. Giving them to Chi Wei… is a waste!”
