Xia Xiaonuan sensed sothing was wrong and hurriedly pulled Nangong Zhongli aside, whispering: "Let’s go... I’m a bit hungry..."
Nangong Zhongli’s body stiffened, passively dragged along by her as they turned around.
They started to walk away, preparing to leave.
Just as they were about to leave, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Hey... Xiaonuan?" Jiang Xue intentionally called out in surprise towards their backs.
Xia Xiaonuan’s body trembled, she gritted her teeth, her lowered hand clenched tightly into a fist.
She glanced at Nangong Zhongli worryingly; Zhongli’s gaze was fixed ahead, cold and repressive, as if it carried a murderous intent.
It made Xia Xiaonuan shiver suddenly.
Hearing the sound of high heels approaching, they had to stop.
Clearly sensing the tall figure closing in behind them, both Xia Xiaonuan and Nangong Zhongli felt tense.
Slowly turning around, they saw Jiang Xue stopping in front of them, Shaochen slightly furrowed his brows, standing behind Jiang Xue.
His gaze flickered as it fell on her face, then turned to Nangong Zhongli.
"Zhongli... Xiaonuan..."
"Xiaonuan, are you out shopping too? Bought so many things? What a coincidence!" Jiang Xue greeted as if eting a good friend.
Beside her, Shaochen’s face also showed signs of awkwardness.
Xia Xiaonuan raised her eyes, looking straight at Jiang Xue without humility, showing a dignified smile: "Yeah, what a coincidence. When I got up this morning, I stepped on a dead mouse as soon as I went out. I even told Zhongli not to go out... Who would have thought, what a coincidence, running into you!"
Jiang Xue was disgusted, her face turned ugly but she forced a smile: "Yeah... it shows we are ant to et!"
Saying that, Jiang Xue noticed the bags in her hand, and smiled: "You even bought Chanel perfu..." She deliberately leaned in to sll it: "So fragrant, I love this brand the most. Can I take a look?"
Before Xia Xiaonuan could react, Jiang Xue snatched the bag from her hand.
As soon as she got it, her hand loosened and the bag fell to the ground.
With a "crash—" the perfu bottle shattered on the floor.
Instantly, the air was filled with a strong scent of perfu. Xia Xiaonuan covered her nose and stepped back, Jiang Xue quickly apologized: "Sorry, I really didn’t an to! How about I... I compensate you!"
"Compensate? Can you afford it?" Nangong Zhongli, who had been silent all this ti, spoke up, coldly staring at Jiang Xue: "This bottle of perfu costs more than your annual salary. How dare you say the word ’compensate’?"
Jiang Xue was rendered speechless by her words but imdiately put on a pitiful look, turning to Shaochen: "Shaochen..."
Shaochen saw Jiang Xue’s actions and felt a bit displeased. He said to Nangong Zhongli and Xia Xiaonuan: "Sorry, I’ll compensate you for the perfu." Saying this, he started to take out his wallet.
"Compensate?" Nangong Zhongli glared at Shaochen: "You can compensate for the broken perfu, but how do you compensate for the hurt feelings?"
Shaochen helplessly said: "Zhongli, don’t be like this..."
Jiang Xue stepped forward: "The perfu broke, indicating the person using it doesn’t deserve it. Why make things difficult? Why not choose another one? I think Shaya perfu is quite good, very suitable for Zhongli."
What brand is Shaya? Never heard of it, but it can be guessed to be a knockoff.
Nangong Zhongli was already upset today, and hearing Jiang Xue’s words made her angrier, her eyes flashed with anger,
