Since that incident, Yuan Qi has not been affected at all. She still studies diligently and takes time to exercise in the evening.

Go to the playground and jog five times every day, and then take a walk. By the way, you can chat with Ji Huai about what happened today with headphones on.

Everyone in the new roommates is very busy, busy taking postgraduate entrance examinations, busy taking exams, busy developing hobbies like her, and they have no time to nag others behind their backs, so they get along extremely harmoniously.

However, Ji Huai seemed to feel sorry for her more and more. He felt that she had been wronged a lot and was always trying to find ways to compensate. The straight man had no romantic qualities, and the gifts he gave her were particularly dumbfounding.

Ji Huai used to go home maybe once a month, and he was diligent on the phone with Chen Mei. Now he works overtime frequently, and the number of times he goes back has dropped sharply.

In this way, Yuan Qi often went back to see Chen Mei on his behalf, chatting with her about daily life, and eating with her.

As Ji Huai grew up, Chen Mei became more and more lonely and had nothing to say. Yuan Qi's appearance filled this gap.

Before Yuan Qi got home, she had already cooked the meal, and the two of them ate together. After the meal, they held hands and walked together.

Now that Ji Huai has grown up, his job is stable, and his life has become easier. Chen Mei often takes Yuan Qi to go shopping.

When I go shopping, I like to buy her all kinds of clothes.

This time when she came back from winter vacation and the Chinese New Year was approaching, Chen Mei took her out shopping every now and then, always to clothing stores.

Yuan Qi looked at Chen Mei holding her clothes and quickly refused again, "Mom, I won't try it anymore."

"This outfit looks good. All the little girls wear this." Chen Mei took off the clothes on her hands and urged with a smile, "Quick, try it on, mom."

Yuan Qi saw her eyes full of expectation and couldn't bear to refuse, so she could only take the clothes and walk in again.

Chen Mei chose a long red dress for her, paired with a white sewing vest. The A-line skirt on the lower body added a touch of elegance. The red color made Yuan Qi's skin fairer.

"It looks good." Chen Mei stepped forward to adjust her collar, pushed her hair back, and said softly, "It's the Chinese New Year, so you have to dress up in such a festive way. All other little girls dress like this."

Her tidying up movements were natural and gentle. Yuan Qi just stood there, feeling warm in her heart. She had a feeling of being cared for and valued, which made her very greedy.

"When it gets colder, you can put on the windbreaker jacket that mom bought you last time. It's fashionable and looks good when you put it on." Chen Mei admired it and said to her, "This is the set we have. Do you like it?"

?”

"Mom, there are enough clothes to wear." Yuan Qi still refused.

"My little girl has a closet full of clothes, spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes. There are so many. You only have a few sets of clothes, not many." Chen Mei shook her head and stepped forward to take out the tag from the back of her neck, "We

Just wear them and avoid the trouble of changing them, and then go upstairs to choose a matching pair of shoes, which you can still wear to school after the Chinese New Year."

Before Yuan Qi refused, the shopping guide came over and praised, "Yes, how suitable it is? Few people dress so beautifully. It's still on sale now, so it's a good deal to buy it."

"Really? It looks good, right?" Chen Mei laughed, feeling even more satisfied, and asked the shopping guide to cut off the tag directly.

Without any hesitation.

Yuan Qi didn't even have a chance to settle the bill, but Chen Mei kept praising her, and it was obvious that she was very happy.

The two of them walked upstairs, and she took Yuan Qi to buy a pair of short boots with some wedge heels. The design was simple but unique, fashionable and elegant.

After dressing up, Yuan Qi became a completely different person. In the past, she used to shuttle between the dormitory and the classroom. Her clothes were comfortable and cheap, usually loose and single.

She rarely wears skirts. Jeans, short sleeves and a pair of canvas shoes are her standard outfit. Her hair is always tied up directly.

She is pretty, with small and delicate facial features. She looks youthful and beautiful at first glance. But after dressing up this time, she becomes slim and charming. Her beauty instantly rises several degrees, and she becomes dazzling when walking among the crowd.

.

Yuan Qi was a little uncomfortable with it.

She was used to dressing in a simple style, and it suddenly made her dress more elegantly. She felt a little uncomfortable, but Chen Mei kept saying it looked good, which also gave her some confidence and made her look more pleasing to the eye.

Chen Mei was very satisfied with the results of her dressing up. When she and Yuan Qi went back together, they approached the community. When Aunt Zhang and others saw it, they were slightly stunned and patted their thighs, "Oh, I can't bear it anymore. This

Is this your Yuan Qi?"

"Doesn't it look good?" Chen Mei smiled even wider, "When it gets colder, I can put on the windbreaker I bought last time. It's the one our Yuan Qi wore last time. You even praised her for looking good in it.

"

Aunt Zhang nodded, "That one looks good too, it looks great together like this."

Mother Liu was also chatting downstairs. She saw that Yuan Qi had changed. Chen Mei was throwing money at this little girl for free. Every time she looked at it, her tone became sour, "Isn't Ji Huai back too? This time he is

Aren’t you going with me?”

Chen Mei used to take Liu Yitong and Ji Huai to buy clothes every time during the holidays. Ji Huai always carried clothes for her daughter, and Chen Mei paid for them.

After so many years, she has never bought New Year clothes for Liu Yitong, Chen Mei bought them all.

"Our Xiaohuai is working overtime and needs to make money. Otherwise, where will the money come from for us to spend?" Chen Mei looked at her and said, "I used to take him with me, but now I don't know what he likes to wear.

Clothes, but Xiaoqi will take care of this. Just let Xiaoqi buy his New Year clothes. What I bought is no longer in line with his wishes."

In short, now that you have a girlfriend, your girlfriend has taken care of all these things, so how can it be the same as before?

"Our Xiaotong is also back. She hasn't bought her New Year clothes yet. I'm going to take her to see them in a few days. If Ji Huai doesn't buy them, we can make an appointment to go shopping together." Mother Liu came out.

She is very shameless and has no scruples as long as there is an advantage to be taken advantage of.

Isn't this just a reminder to Chen Mei that Liu Yitong's clothes should also be bought?

"I want to buy it." Chen Mei nodded. Before Liu's mother raised her lips, she said again, "I have to buy it quickly in the next few days. It won't be easy to buy it for a while. As for our Xiaohuai, it will arrive in one day."

If he works late, just ask Xiaoqi to buy two sets for him online."

"Boys are more casual. I didn't wear much of what I bought last time. I work overtime every day, so it's useless no matter how much I buy?"

...

Chen Mei seemed to have completely forgotten Liu Yitong. Liu Yitong had been back for so many days, but she didn't take the initiative to mention it, let alone send anything to eat.

If she accidentally chatted with Liu's mother, she would reply, "Oh, I went back to the countryside the day before yesterday and brought some here. Ji Huai likes to eat it, and Yuan Qi is also there, so he didn't bring much. If there were more,

I’ll send some to you.”

Saying this but never taking action is just like the Liu family's previous behavior. Liu Yitong said before that she was better than Liu's mother and wanted to honor her as her biological mother. It was ridiculous.

Liu's mother was blocked and couldn't help but feel that she was being squeezed secretly. There was something wrong with what the other party said, but she couldn't find anything wrong.

Aunt Zhang and others had already changed the subject, "Just let Xiaoqi do it. He thinks it's okay no matter what his wife buys. Nowadays, we can't keep up with the aesthetics of young people. If you buy something ugly, he thinks it's ugly."

There is something wrong with our elderly people’s eyesight.”

"No." Chen Mei also agreed, reaching for a handful of small fruits on the table and putting them in Yuan Qi's hand, "Try this, Aunt Li planted it in the backyard. It's a small wild fruit.

, purely natural.”

"Thank you, Mom." Yuan Qi pursed her lips and smiled, obediently staying aside.

Aunt Zhang looked at Yuan Qi and said, "Isn't the jewelry your mother bought you good? It was custom-made. I waited for three months."

Yuan Qi looked confused.

Chen Mei clicked her tongue and said to Aunt Zhang, "You talk too much again."

"Didn't you tell her?" Aunt Zhang said more, "Your mother bought you a set of gold jewelry. Go to my daughter's shop to have it made. The processing fee is very high, and you have to make a reservation.

, graduate quickly and marry Ji Huai, your mother can't wait."

Yuan Qi was eating small wild fruits when her face suddenly turned red and the tips of her ears felt hot. She looked at Chen Mei and felt even more embarrassed.

Although she doesn't know many things, she also knows that she only wears gold jewelry when she gets married, but she has to go to graduate school.

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Mom just bought it for you. The price of gold is rising every year. Mom bought it for you first and kept it. We will talk about the rest later." Chen Mei quickly comforted her.

"...Well, thank you, Mom." Yuan Qi lowered her eyes and put another small wild fruit in her mouth. She was so embarrassed that she didn't even raise her head.

Just when she was at a loss, her cell phone rang. Yuan Qi took it out and answered it. When she saw it was Ji Huai, it was so timely.

As soon as he picked it up, Ji Huai said on the other end, "Come back and let mom chat alone. She doesn't know how long the chat will last."

"Bought new clothes? Put them on and let me take a look."

...

Yuan Qi took the opportunity to say to Chen Mei, "Mom, Ji Huai told me to go back, but I don't know what to do."

Chen Mei looked not far away. Ji Huai was watching them from the balcony outside. The lights at home were too dim, so he bought a desk and worked on the balcony every day.

Seeing her looking over, Ji Huai pointed at Yuan Qi and said, "Mom, let her come back."

"Go back, go back, mom will go back and cook later." Chen Mei smiled and patted her shoulder, smiling kindly, "Okay."

Chen Mei was still holding a bag in her hand, and Yuan Qi took it from her hand, "I'll take this back, Mom, you can talk slowly."

She was so considerate that Chen Mei's eyes were filled with laughter.

As soon as Yuan Qi left, Aunt Zhang looked at her back and said, "This set of gold jewelry costs 20,000 yuan. It takes three gold to marry a daughter-in-law. You haven't even finished it yet."

When she heard it was 20,000 yuan, Mother Liu's eyes widened.

I thought it was only a few thousand, but I bought this for 20,000. It turned out that it was going to be bought for their family, Xiaotong.

She lost 20,000 yuan in vain. Mother Liu felt like her heart was cut by a knife and her face turned dark, as if she had been robbed of 20,000 yuan.

"It's okay." Chen Mei waved her hands, not caring at all, "I will be more prepared when they get married."

Mother Liu is so angry.

Just as angry as she was Liu Yitong. When she walked out of the balcony, she saw the woman walking towards her.
