Chapter 118: Chapter 118 I Advise You Not to Ask the Price

Subconsciously, she didn’t believe that Lu Jinyang would sit quietly and wait for her to come out of the fitting room.

Standing at the entrance of the fitting room, Zhuang Shuqing frowned at her reflection in the mirror, the clothes were too form-fitting, revealing the figure she usually kept hidden, making her feel unnatural.

Just as she was about to call a clerk over, she heard a sharp female voice nearby.

Looking up, she saw Ning Qian emerging from another fitting room, her gaze holding a mix of amazement and jealousy.

"Well, I never expected a little reporter like you to shop here. Just a kind word of advice, don’t damage the clothes when you’re trying them on, your salary won’t cover the cost."

Zhuang Shuqing’s eyebrows knitted again. She had no quarrel with Ning Qian; could this attitude be influenced by Tan Biyang?

This just got interesting.

She responded with a light smile, "Isn’t this Ning Qian? They say seeing is believing. This is our first encounter, and I wonder where Miss Ning’s hostility towards this little reporter comes from?"

Ning Qian was caught off guard by her words, nearly blurting out Tan Biyang’s name. Regaining her composure, she said, "You reporters are always feeding on gossip when you’ve got nothing better to do, and I just can’t stand that."

Zhuang Shuqing still smiled, "Yes, but if we reporters are so annoying, why do so many celebrities want to make the headlines?"

Somehow, Ning Qian felt a twinge of guilt hearing this, but her prideful self quickly mustered some confidence and she said, "I heard you were fired from the studio. I’m really curious, where did you get the money to afford clothes here?"

Even the cheapest piece of clothing in this store would cost Zhuang Shuqing at least three months of her salary, not to mention whether she had a job now. Even if she had one, buying clothes here wouldn’t be easy.

Yet, Zhuang Shuqing didn’t address her, turning around to walk back into the fitting room. As she closed the door behind her, she could still hear Ning Qian speaking to the clerk outside, "You better keep an eye on her, as far as I know, she doesn’t have the money to buy clothes."

The clerk’s voice was soft, and Zhuang Shuqing didn’t hear what she said, but when she walked out of the fitting room with the clothes she had tried on, the look in that clerk’s eyes had changed.

Whether driven by their provocation or not, Zhuang Shuqing directly walked past the two and headed for the cashier.

At this moment, Ning Qian’s voice came from behind again, "I would advise you not to even ask about the price. You can’t afford it anyway." Having said that, she followed with a spectator’s attitude to the cashier.

However, what Ning Qian expected didn’t happen.

Zhuang Shuqing placed the clothes on the counter and took out a card from her bag, handing it to the cashier, "Charge it please, thank you!"

The sight of the black card altered the expressions of both Ning Qian and the clerk beside her. Without doubt, they recognized the card.

"Miss... would you like to look at other clothes?" The cashier’s heartbeat accelerated upon seeing the black card.

This card belonged to a special VIP in their department store, only available to high-level internal personnel, yet now it appeared in the hands of someone who seemed like a poorly-off clerk!

Especially for the clerk who had just looked down on Zhuang Shuqing after hearing Ning Qian’s words, her complexion turned particularly ugly now.

If the incident implicated the boss, her unemployment was certain.

But Zhuang Shuqing calmly replied, "No need." After swiping the card and picking up her clothes, she turned and left.

"Wait, just wait, why do you have that card?"
