69: This is Balenciaga!

Tang Xinyi pushed through the crowd and entered Central Hospital.

Although she had temporarily escaped Wang Qiang's harassment, her mood hadn't improved.

She never expected that someone who was once so sunny and positive would turn out to be such a scoundrel.

And the woman who almost became her Biological Mother-in-law was even worse, throwing a tantrum and rolling on the floor in the lobby in front of so many people.

Just thinking about almost marrying into that family sent shivers down Tang Xinyi's spine.

At this moment, a sense of relief welled up in her heart—thank goodness she saw through the true nature of this family before the wedding.

"Tang Xinyi, you're here."

A woman in a Nurse's uniform walked out of the changing room and greeted her.

"Xiaomin."

This was Liu Min, one of the Nurses who interned with Tang Xinyi.

After a simple greeting, Tang Xinyi composed herself and walked towards her locker.

"Oh?"

As Liu Min passed by her, she noticed the bag Tang Xinyi was carrying and exclaimed in surprise, "Balenciaga?"

If one isn't constantly exposed to and browsing luxury goods, then, besides a few top brands like Chanel and LV, they might have heard the names but few would recognize the logos.

Take Balenciaga, for example; it has brand recognition, but among those who have heard of it, at least half wouldn't know what the brand's logo looks like.

Tang Xinyi was exactly like this; she even paused for a moment when Liu Min mentioned it.

"Tang Xinyi, can I see it?"

Liu Min looked at her with eager anticipation.

Under the impact of capitalism, there are practically no girls in modern society who don't dream of owning luxury goods.

Tang Xinyi hesitated for a moment but still handed over the bag she was holding.

After all, they were colleagues, and their relationship was quite good. These days, Liu Min often sided with her. If she refused even a simple request to look, it would be too heartless and make future interactions difficult.

"Wow, it's Balenciaga's latest summer dress! I saw it on the official website; it costs over twenty-three thousand!"

A moment later, Liu Min gasped.

They were only intern Nurses, working eight hours a day for only three thousand yuan a month.

Luxury goods were a distant dream for them.

"Huh?"

Tang Xinyi, however, was dumbfounded.

She never expected the clothes in the bag she was holding to be worth tens of thousands of yuan.

But Xu Zimo clearly told her it was only a few tens of yuan?

Then, recalling the hotel room and the female housekeeper who appeared... perhaps it really was possible.

"I'm so envious of you."

After looking at it, Liu Min put the clothes back in the bag and handed it to Tang Xinyi, her envy evident.

Tang Xinyi was very beautiful.

Not to mention their batch of intern Nurses, even the entire hospital couldn't find anyone with a higherAppearance than Tang Xinyi.

"Tang Xinyi, did one of your admirers send it to you?"

Liu Min asked curiously.

Tang Xinyi was so beautiful, and now that she was single, it was normal for her to have admirers.

She even felt that if she were a man, and didn't have money, she wouldn't even dare to approach Tang Xinyi.

It was a pity... she actually chose someone like Wang Qiang.

The things that had happened these past few days, let alone Tang Xinyi herself, even Liu Min, as an outsider, found them very upsetting.

"No."

Hearing the words "admirer," Tang Xinyi's cheeks instantly flushed, and she quickly denied it.

Xu Zimo... he was someone she had called Brother-in-law.

Just thinking of that title gave her a strange sense of guilt and immorality.

Then, recalling the scene of herself actively seeking a kiss last night, goosebumps visibly rose on her arms.

This wasn't resistance; instead, she found it somewhat... stimulating?

Unfortunately, Xu Zimo refused.

Wait.

Unfortunately?

Why would she have such a thought?

"Eww~"

Looking at Tang Xinyi's fluctuating expression, Liu Min exclaimed from the side that she couldn't take it, fanning her nose with her hand: "I smell the sour stench of love."

"It's not what you think."

Tang Xinyi, however, didn't know how to explain.

Especially the relationship between her and Xu Zimo.

"It seems some people in our department are going to have their hearts broken again..."

Liu Min left.

Tang Xinyi stared at the bag in her hand for a while, then went to ask the Head Nurse for leave.

The Head Nurse didn't make things difficult for her; instead, she said earnestly, "Resolve your personal issues soon."

"Okay."

Although Tang Xinyi agreed, she actually felt uncertain.

She was having trouble shaking off Wang Qiang, let alone Wang Qiang's Biological Mother, who was even more unreasonable and completely irrational.

The kind are often bullied.

She didn't know what to do; otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to drink her sorrows away.

After leaving the hospital, Xu Zimo hadn't left, but Wang Qiang was nowhere to be seen.

Tang Xinyi breathed a slight sigh of relief and stepped forward: "Zimo, are you okay?"

"What could happen to me?"

Looking at his former Brother-in-law's utterly exasperated expression, Xu Zimo felt a surge of satisfaction.

It was just... Tang Xinyi was too kind-hearted, making him a little reluctant to hurt this girl.

A girl like her needed a stable marriage, and he clearly couldn't provide that.

However, if he were to give up... that was even more out of the question!

After all.

He wasn't a good person.

"Let's go. Where do you need to go? I'll take you."

Wang Qiang hid in the distance, like a rat in a gutter, watching Tang Xinyi get into Xu Zimo's passenger seat again, his face terribly contorted. He punched the wall, then rubbed his hand in pain.

Once in the car.

Tang Xinyi still held the Balenciaga bag in her hand. She looked at Xu Zimo several times, then finally said, "Zimo, I can't accept these clothes."

"Why? Are you saving them for me to wear?"

Xu Zimo's relaxed tone instantly lightened her somewhat heavy mood.

Perhaps thinking of Xu Zimo wearing women's clothes, she suddenly felt like laughing, but held it back, her mouth twitching slightly. She then became serious, "I'm serious."

"You even lied to me, saying it was only a few tens of yuan."

"What can be done? It's already bought, the tag is cut, and it can't be returned."

Even with Xu Zimo saying this, Tang Xinyi still couldn't convince herself to accept it with a clear conscience.

She originally wanted to say she'd transfer the money to Xu Zimo.

But given her current situation, where would she get over twenty thousand yuan?

Her parents were worried sick trying to raise money to return to Wang Qiang's family.

Such a matter was also awkward to ask Relatives to borrow money for.

"Tang Xinyi."

Xu Zimo suddenly became serious. Under her puzzled gaze, he said in a heavy tone, "Actually, I've known for a long time that Wang Qiang had distorted values, but I concealed the truth and didn't tell you..."

"Consider this my apology."

Tang Xinyi was silent for a moment, not blaming him.

She was deceived by Wang Qiang, but wasn't Xu Zimo also bullied by the Wang Pingping siblings back then?

Fortunately, they had both now escaped that pair of siblings.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but Tang Xinyi's face inexplicably flushed.

The two of them now looked like a couple instead.
