With the thought that she could go home, Gu Qingjiu bought the things rather quickly.
They had to place an order for some items. Gu Qingjiu wanted to calculate the exact amount before letting the shop send it over at their desired date.
But He Niancheng added more to the list.
Hence, she had to travel all around to get things.
After she was done collecting goods from the department store, Gu Qingjiu saw an article of clothing that she liked and conveniently bought one for herself.
But she paid it with her own money
He Niancheng was waiting for her at the underground car park.
When Gu Qingjiu was going down, she saw a few familiar faces as she turned a corner from a store.
It was Gu Qingjiu’s former classmate, Xie Yuning.
And a few of her lackeys.
They were all carrying shopping bags, evidently just done with their shopping.
She had a brilliant smile on and when she turned at a corner, she bumped into Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu had no intention of exhibiting her friendly side to say hello to these old classmates.
When she was in class last time, Xie Yuning was always the first few to mock and criticize her.
Though it wasn’t too vicious and they didn’t physically bully her.
But for a girl that age, that mockery would often result in a certain degree of psychological trauma.
Although the incident with the Yu family afterward was so abrupt that these small scars were not even worth mentioning…
That did not mean that Gu Qingjiu didn’t remember.
Which was why she calmly walked past Xie Yuning and the rest without any change in expression.
The moment she was about to walk past, Xie Yuning saw Gu Qingjiu and her expression shifted.
As if she couldn’t believe her eyes, she stared for a few seconds. Only when Gu Qingjiu walked away did she try to call out. “Gu… Gu Qingjiu?”
Because she couldn’t believe her eyes, her voice sounded unsure.
Gu Qingjiu pretended not to hear her, treating it as if Xie Yuning simply recognized the wrong person.
Without stopping, she walked straight ahead.
But who knew what would happen next? As if Xie Yuning decided on something, she ran up and shouted, “Gu Qingjiu, stop there!”
Carrying with her that arrogant air like before.
It felt insufferably bossy.
“Gu Qingjiu? Yuning, where’s Gu Qingjiu?”
“Is she Gu Qingjiu? Yuning, don’t scare me. How is that possible?”
Her lackeys all looked at Xie Yuning in disbelief and then they turned to look at Gu Qingjiu’s silhouette.
Since Xie Yuning shouted so loudly, it was difficult for Gu Qingjiu to pretend that she didn’t hear her.
She stopped, turned around, and stared at Xie Yuning without a smile. “Yeah, it’s me. Do you need anything?”
Xie Yuning’s eyes were about to pop out as she stared at Gu Qingjiu.
Her lackeys, who also were Gu Qingjiu’s classmates before, all went up to surround her.
And looked at Gu Qingjiu like she was some sort of rare animal.
“Gu Qingjiu, did you go for plastic surgery?”
“…”
Everyone who hadn’t seen her in a long time would definitely say that.
“I don’t have time. I’m busy. Bye.”
The Chief Instructor was still waiting downstairs, and he was a person who was mindful of punctuality. Gu Qingjiu was really in a rush to go.
Her current attitude obviously made the rest feel like they were insignificant.
But then again, there was indeed a small part of Gu Qingjiu which felt that way.
“Why are you leaving? Looks like Zhong Xiaoxiao’s words were true.”
Xie Yuning snickered. This person in front of her was actually Gu Qingjiu.
Xie Yuning could not believe that she had a massive change after joining the military.
There was an eighty percent chance that she went for plastic surgery!
And only people like Zhong Xiaoxiao would believe nonsense like she entered the army.
A person like Gu Qingjiu, she wouldn’t even last a month… no, she wouldn’t even last a week!
