    Shu Pan seized the opportunity after work and hurried to the mall. Red discount banners were hanging everywhere inside the mall. Shu Pan headed for the store with the best deals and the highest discounts.


    Since all the items werest year’s leftovers and odd sizes, they were rtively cheap. Shu Pan didn’t even dare to look at the newly arrived items, as her sry, after covering her normal expenses, lett her with very little.


    She carefully checked her wallet and, despite the pain, bought two dresses and a pair of shoes for Joy. The dresses were in odd sizes, and she guessed that they might make Joy look a little bigger when she wore them. However, children grow quickly, so having something a bitrger was a good idea.


    After paying, Shu Pan nned to head back. The ce she was renting was a bit far from the mall, but Shu Pan noticed it was still early, so, to save money, she decided to walk back.


    She took the esctor down from the third floor to the second floor. On the second floor, there were high-end designer brands everywhere. As she stepped off the elevator, she hastened her pace, nning to head down to the first floor.


    Just then, she saw Tong Fei and another woman heading in her direction. Shu Pan couldn’t help but sigh. It really was a small world. She had just been thinking about how she hadn’t run into Gu Shaoting and Tong Fei in over a year sinceing to Bin City. But now, here they were.


    It seemed that they wereing straight towards her. Shu Pan could have simply minded her own business and walked past them, but she thought about her current destitute appearance. She didn’t know how Tong Fei might ridicule her. Sometimes, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.


    Thinking this, Shu Pan quickly slipped into a nearby store. She watched as Tong Fei and herpanion headed directly for the GV counter in front of the store, as if they hade specifically for this store.


    GV was the most sought-after luxury brand by young people today, and their products were all priced above five figures.


    Once inside the store, a salesperson quickly approached them. “Miss Tong, hello. Please have a seat, and we’ll show you ourtest arrivals right away.” Obviously, Tong Fei was a VIP here, and the staff knew her well.


    Shu Pan watched as they entered the store. Even though she was somewhat ignorant of these matters, she knew the approximate price range of this brand’s products. She could imagine how expensive they were.


    She observed Tong Fei pick up a handbag, which had an orange silk scarf tied to it, from the disy cab. The woman apanying Tong Fei eximed excitedly, “GV’s limited edition is finally out. I heard there aren’t many of them released, and it’s a worldwide limited edition. It’s so hard to get one!”


    The way the woman was expressing herself was quite exaggerated, but Tong Fei just smiled gently and said to the salesperson, “Please wrap it up for me.” She handed the bag she had just picked to the salesperson to be packaged.


    Then, she took out a ck card from her wallet and handed it directly to the salesperson. A bag that cost over 200,000 yuan, and she decided to buy it without any hesitation.


    The woman apanying Tong Fei was left stunned. She knew Tong Fei was wealthy, but to be so rich that she didn’t even need to think about buying such an expensive item, that really opened her eyes.


    Shu Pan was also shocked. She had forgotten to leave the store. She watched Tong Fei, dressed in a white shirt and ck wide-leg pants, tall and slim, with an aura of celebrity elegance. When had she be a model-like figure? Even with just a slight smile, she exuded charm that ordinary people couldn’t imitate.


    Perhaps this was why she could work as a model! Even with just a slight smile, she was captivating, with an unattainable elegance.


    Shu Pan looked back at herself, wearing a worn-out pair of jeans, a half-used T-shirt, a pair of white, washed-out sneakers, carrying a cheap handbag. She looked poor and out of ce in this environment.


    “Miss, may I help you with anything?” Suddenly, a salesperson in the store


    asked her..
