Chapter 96: A Narrow Path for Enemies

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 were last year’s leftovers and odd sizes, they were relatively cheap. Shu Pan didn’t even dare to look at the newly arrived items, as her salary, 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 bit larger was a good idea.

After paying, Shu Pan planned to head back. The place 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 escalator 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, planning 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 since coming to Bin City. But now, here they were.

It seemed that they were coming 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 her companion headed directly for the GV counter in front of the store, as if they had come 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 our latest 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 display cabinet. The woman accompanying Tong Fei exclaimed 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 black 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 accompanying 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 black wide-leg pants, tall and slim, with an aura of celebrity elegance. When had she become 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 place in this environment.

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

asked her..
