121: Zhang Diyao Shopping Mall

"Mm, I'll contact him." Huo Yunci responded and returned to the bedroom.

Gao Ying slept soundly until dawn, and for once, she got up early to eat breakfast.

"The charity gala is tonight. What are your plans for today, Ying'er?" Xi Yan asked her.

"I've arranged to go shopping with Zhiwei and Yutang. We'll go straight to get our styling done in the afternoon," Gao Ying said, outlining her itinerary for the day.

Xi Yan wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. "Alright, I'll pick you all up then."

"No need. I'm free, and I will take Darling to the banquet," Heartless said, glancing up at him.

"Heartless, you're always following Darling around and don't even know how to make money. Do you really want to be a gigolo?" Lou Jingyao looked at him, annoyed by everything about him.

"Darling, can I just stay by your side without doing anything?" Heartless ignored his words and looked at Gao Ying instead.

"No, you can't. This is a business I'm planning to develop in the Imperial Capital, so you need to help." Gao Ying sent him a file.

"Alright, I will work twice as hard to show you the results." After reading the file, Heartless sent it directly to Ruthless.

"Wait, Boss, what is the meaning of this? There's still a pile of work to finish, and you're adding more now? I'm a human, not a machine, and even machines need downtime!" Ruthless called directly to complain.

Heartless spoke indifferently. "After this project is finished, I'll give you a month's vacation."

"Is a month's vacation enough to dismiss me?" Ruthless's voice was clearly not as tough as before.

Heartless said, "I will go to the company starting tomorrow."

"Fine, then I can keep going." Hearing him say that, Ruthless stopped grumbling.

Gao Ying arrived at Diyao mall, and Xi Yutang and Lou Zhiwei had already reached the location.

"Sister Ying, you're getting prettier and prettier!" Xi Yutang affectionately linked her arm with hers.

"Little Ying, I'll leave my brother to you. Although he's a bit unreliable, he's still decent. Please don't return him." Thinking of her brother's behavior, Lou Zhiwei was a bit embarrassed to say it.

"Hmm~ Jingyao occasionally acts up, but otherwise, he's fine. There's no need to return him. But do your parents know about my situation?" Gao Ying asked.

Lou Zhiwei replied, "They know. My parents are very grateful that you saved my brother. As long as my brother is alive and well, they don't care about anything else."

"I came in such a rush this time. I, as a junior, should have gone to see your uncle and aunt, but I was delayed by matters. It was really rude of me." Gao Ying looked at them apologetically.

"There's no need to go to such trouble. They will also be attending the charity gala tonight, so you'll see them then. Sister Ying, my parents are very easygoing, so you don't need to be nervous," Xi Yutang reassured her.

"That's right. As long as you show up, they'll be very happy," Lou Zhiwei echoed.

The three of them went to the second floor, and Xi Yutang pulled the other two to the clothing store they often visited.

"Miss Xi, Miss Lou, you're here! We've had a lot of new products in the store recently. If you're interested, feel free to take a look." The sales clerk in the store saw them and came forward to greet them warmly.

"Little Ying, do you see anything you like?" Lou Zhiwei asked, looking at her.

"I don't see anything. I have so many clothes at home that I can barely fit them. I'll wait until I clear out a batch before getting more." Gao Ying took a rough look.

Those three men at home packed all the new season's clothes and brought them back. She was only one person; how was she supposed to wear so many clothes?

"You guys go ahead and shop; I'll go over there to rest for a bit." Gao Ying pointed to the lounge area.

"Alright, we'll be quick." They understood her lack of interest in these clothes.

After all, many of the items in her home were haute couture.

Even the casual outfit she was wearing today, which looked plain and unremarkable, was made by a top master and cost around ten million.

Gao Ying sat in the lounge area and boredly picked up a magazine to read.

"Fugui, in the past, I would have been excited for ages just to come to this top-tier mall. But now, I'm surprisingly calm. It seems that once you're rich, the desire to shop just disappears. How boring," Gao Ying sighed.

【Sister, if you want to shop, that's easy. I'll issue a mission right now.】

【Ding, daily mission activated. host, please spend 1 billion at Diyao mall. Mission completion rewards the host with 3 years of life value. There is no penalty for mission failure.】

【Ding, side mission activated. host, please spend 10 billion within today. Mission success rewards the host with 1 trillion. There is no penalty for mission failure.】

"No, wait, I was just lamenting. I didn't mean to trigger a mission." Gao Ying really wanted to seal the lips of herself from two minutes ago.

【Sister, spending money is so much fun! Come on, you must find the joy of spending money today.】 Fugui encouraged her happily.

"I really thank you." With no other choice, Gao Ying prepared to start today's spending spree.

"Are you two done looking?" Gao Ying put down the magazine in her hand and walked over to them to ask.

"Little Ying, I've finished choosing, but she's having trouble deciding again. She wants all three of these dresses. But her allowance for this month isn't enough, so she's struggling and conflicted." Lou Zhiwei was already used to this kind of scene.

Gao Ying looked at the prices of the three dresses. "Zhiwei, you have a monthly allowance of one million. Haven't you saved anything over all these years? These three dresses only add up to 15 million; just take them all."

"Um, I use all my money to chase stars, so the remaining money can only buy one of them," Xi Yutang said a bit embarrassedly.

"Which star has got our Miss Xi so obsessed?" Gao Ying didn't know that Xi Yutang chased stars.

"It's that Best Actor who's very popular recently. I don't know what Yutang sees in him, but she's spent quite a bit of money on him." Lou Zhiwei also couldn't understand why she suddenly became obsessed with a celebrity.

"Please pack up all three of these dresses. I see you seem to really like these two pieces of clothing as well, so pack those up too." Gao Ying called over the sales clerk.

"Little Ying, no need. I only need to buy one." Xi Yutang quickly refused.

"No need. Your brother is my man now, so you are my sister. Isn't it only natural to buy things for my sister? And you too, don't you dare refuse," Gao Ying said, looking at Lou Zhiwei.

"Rest assured, I wasn't planning on refusing. After all, it's a gesture from my sister-in-law; how could I, as her sister-in-law, refuse?" Lou Zhiwei smiled at her.

"You're right. How about this: don't include these three sets from this row, and pack everything else. And from this row, don't include this one, but pack everything else." Gao Ying picked out the ones she didn't like according to their preferences and had everything else packed.

"Ying, Sister Ying, there's no need to spend so much. It's too much; how can I wear all of this?" Xi Yutang knew she was generous whenever she made a move, but this was too generous.

"Little Ying, this is a bit exaggerated." Lou Zhiwei also didn't expect her to be this extravagant.

"It's not exaggerated. This is just the beginning. We'll continue after we finish settling the bill."

How much was this anyway? It was still far from 1 billion.

"Brother, Sister Ying bought a lot of things for me. What should I do?" Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, Xi Yutang called Xi Yan.
