99: There is a problem!

Guan Yanchu was very disappointed.

She had originally thought that by sharing an apartment with Huang Yuqing, she would have the opportunity to meet the wealthy man behind her Best Friend.

Alas, after all this time, she hadn't even seen a shadow of him.

But... if she said she was tired of it, that wouldn't be right either.

They were all Socialites; who didn't understand who? If she were truly well-off, why would she have chosen to split bills before?

Huang Yuqing was completely different now than before.

Before, she was very careful with money, but now, she often treated people when she was in a good mood, and even now, she picked out luxury goods without any pressure.

Her confidence was overwhelming!

Guan Yanchu began to ponder what excuse she could use to get Huang Yuqing to bring him out for an introduction.

Beside them, Wang Pingping, who was trailing behind and couldn't even get a word in, watched with envy and longing as her Best Friend bought two bags in one go.

This was the life she had once anticipated and imagined.

She could have had it, but she had personally ruined it.

Just thinking about it made her heart ache.

"Yuqing, I want to go back and rest."

After saying goodbye, Wang Pingping walked out of the store in a daze.

However, as soon as she reached the entrance, she froze.

Because she saw her ex-husband, Xu Zimo.

He wasn't alone; there were two very beautiful women with him. She had seen one of them before, but the other, even more attractive one, was new to her.

Both women were smiling happily and seemed to have a good relationship.

But she didn't care about any of that.

"Zimo..."

Wang Pingping was about to step forward, but she saw Xu Zimo looking at her with an expressionless, cold gaze, as if she were a stranger.

Suddenly, it was like a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, extinguishing the last flicker of delusion in her heart.

Her feet wouldn't move.

She could only watch as Xu Zimo led the two women into the Chanel store.

At this moment, Wang Pingping also noticed that the two beautiful women's hands were already full of bags from various brands.

She had always yearned for Huang Yuqing's lifestyle, so she naturally recognized the logos of these brands.

They were all luxury goods!

Even if she didn't know the exact prices, with so many bags, it had to be at least several hundred thousand!

Wang Pingping's eyes instantly turned red.

Those things should have been hers!

Then she watched as the two beautiful women entered the store, accompanied by staff, casually browsing and selecting luxury items that were beyond her reach.

Wang Pingping's heart was filled with indescribable pain.

Before, she had only known from Huang Yuqing that Xu Zimo bought a lot of luxury goods, and she had seen them, but wasn't this relaxed and leisurely shopping experience exactly what she had always dreamed of?!

This should have been her life, but she had given it away to other women with her own hands!!!

Wang Pingping bit her lip, even tasting the salty tang of blood, but she seemed to feel nothing, standing motionless and dazed at the storefront...

Lu Jiaqi had, of course, seen Wang Pingping, and more than once.

At first, she had been somewhat curious about the woman who abandoned Xu Zimo, but after encountering her at the Binjiang Bay residential complex entrance that time, she was greatly disappointed.

She was just a common, vulgar woman.

Lu Jiaqi racked her brain but couldn't understand why this woman would divorce Xu Zimo.

Of course, if this woman hadn't been so foolish, how would they have had the chance to get close to Xu Zimo?

Being married and being single were not the same.

Gu Xiaoxuan had been stunned when she heard Wang Pingping call out to Xu Zimo at the door just now, and it was Lu Jiaqi who subtly pulled her into the store.

She had wanted to ask, but seeing Xu Zimo's displeased expression, she didn't speak up.

Despite her immense curiosity, she began to pick out items with Lu Jiaqi.

Inside the store.

Huang Yuqing and Guan Yanchu also saw the three people walk in.

Because Wang Pingping was there, Huang Yuqing, from a slightly further distance, gave a seemingly indifferent greeting: "Zimo, out shopping?"

At the same time, her gaze swept over Lu Jiaqi and Gu Xiaoxuan, and a flicker of envy passed through her eyes.

Sigh.

Ever since last time, she knew she no longer had a chance.

Of course, Huang Yuqing was still very satisfied with her current situation; after all, among the two hundred-plus Socialites in the group, she had already reached the top.

A monthly allowance of 100,000, and Xu Zimo would occasionally reward her with more, often tens of thousands in transfers.

It was enough for her to live the refined life she desired.

"Mm."

Xu Zimo nodded faintly at her, not meaning to take his anger out on her.

Running into her was just running into her; it wasn't a big deal. Letting his ex-wife see these things would only make her feel worse.

Xu Zimo even thought that perhaps he should tell Huang Yuqing in advance every time he came shopping, to arrange more such 'chance encounters'.

This way, he could deepen Wang Pingping's impression and keep her trapped in deep regret.

When Xu Zimo greeted Huang Yuqing, Guan Yanchu naturally noticed the man.

Although she had been by Huang Yuqing's side, she had been observing Xu Zimo and the two women.

Guan Yanchu noticed that the staff in the Chanel store were particularly attentive to Xu Zimo and the two women. Although Xu Zimo sat in the lounge area, a staff member was constantly with him.

Clearly, he was a big customer!

Moreover, after seeing the large pile of shopping bags from various brands that Lu Jiaqi and Gu Xiaoxuan had placed on the floor, Guan Yanchu's pupils trembled slightly.

So many luxury items from various brands—bags, clothes, jewelry, cosmetics... she could roughly estimate the cost at a glance.

Then she watched Lu Jiaqi and Gu Xiaoxuan choose items, which they did even more casually than Huang Yuqing.

Soon, Guan Yanchu made a judgment... This was an exceptionally wealthy man!

And he could no longer be described merely as 'high-quality'.

High-quality wealthy men were already rare, and among them, generous ones were only a minority.

In the Socialite group, there were many who had latched onto some big shot, but the actual benefits they received were pitifully small, only getting to see some grand occasions and stay in high-end hotels with the big shot.

But the man in front of her was different; he was too generous to the two women beside him!

Wait.

Huang Yuqing knew him?!

So, Guan Yanchu deliberately asked Huang Yuqing, "Yuqing, you two know each other?"

"Mm."

Huang Yuqing replied distractedly, seemingly unwilling to continue the conversation on this topic.

She didn't want Wang Pingping to see through her.

After all, she still needed to keep track of her Best Friend's whereabouts, right?

However, Guan Yanchu was momentarily stunned.

This wasn't like Huang Yuqing's personality. With such a wealthy acquaintance, why would Huang Yuqing's attitude be so cold?

Since that man had two women with him, his true nature was undoubtedly revealed.

Huang Yuqing was elegant and beautiful, and since the man could still respond to her greeting, their relationship shouldn't be bad.

Something was wrong!

But Guan Yanchu couldn't figure out what the problem was for a moment.
