Chapter 79 Nouveau Riche (2)_1
"Apologize? There’s no need. Besides, if You’er wants clothes she likes, why would she need a stranger to gift them?" Shangguan Qing declined faintly. Though only in his early twenties, he hailed from a prominent family and possessed an innate aristocratic and refined air. Moreover, he never accepted unearned favors and believed You’er would feel the same about gifts from strangers.
"Brother Qing is absolutely right. When have we of the Shangguan Family ever coveted others’ charity? Hmph! Presumptuous. Trying to curry favor with us? Dream on!" Shangguan Rou stepped out of the fitting room, disdain etched on her face as she stared down Shen Jia.
"Like knows like; certain clothes are meant for certain people. Just look at this temperament, this charm—could you ever pull it off? Country bumpkin!" Shangguan Rou’s cold mockery rang out. She ignored the unpleasant expressions on Shen Jia and her companions. After all, Shangguan Rou never tolerated a slight; anyone who offended her would be thoroughly humiliated.
A figure clad in water-blue emerged from the fitting room, immediately drawing gasps from those nearby.
"This outfit truly suits You’er." Shangguan Qing’s eyes lit up. Shangguan You stood before the full-length mirror, resembling a delicate orchid from a secluded valley. Her jet-black hair cascaded down, making her appear like an orchid poised to bloom, captivating everyone’s gaze.
"Brother Qing, am I beautiful?" Shangguan You’s voice held a hint of shyness. Her clear eyes briefly swept over Shen Cheng and Wanqian before she positioned herself in front of Shangguan Qing. Spreading her arms, she twirled around, a gentle smile playing on her lips.
All the light seemed to converge on Shangguan You. At that moment, her beauty was almost blinding.
As Shen Cheng and Wanqian gazed at the stunningly beautiful girl, an inexplicable sense of familiarity washed over them. Their eyes remained unusually fixed on Shangguan You.
