Chapter 158 - 157: You Can’t Beat Me
Gu Qili gave Mickey the trinkets she had bought as gifts, things like lavender scented bottles which were particularly suitable for girls.
Mickey tied one of them as a pendant on her backpack, perfectly matching the color of her backpack.
As the two of them walked and talked, they inevitably discussed the incident where she was shot.
Mickey was startled, listening to her recount the ordeal had her heart hanging in mid-air, nearly costing her half a life.
"It’s okay now, it’s pretty much healed, and I had cosmetic stitches, so there won’t be any scars." She reassured her with a pat on the hand, suddenly smirking with pride: "Although I suffered some superficial wounds, you could say it was a blessing in disguise."
"Is it because you and Mu Shuoqian..." Her name was uttered with sheer frustration as she raised her hand and chased after her, ready to strike, falling right into the trap she was too pleased to notice.
The two were cavorting when Mickey suddenly stopped, her gaze unfriendly as she looked towards someone not too far away and spoke with a hostile tone:
Gu Qili also saw Hu Jiaojiao, dressed in a pale blue gown, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, fair skin, and delicate features. To anyone unfamiliar with her, at first sight, she truly was an unforgettable beauty.
What Gu Qili noticed was not the person but her clothes; if she remembered correctly, this was a limited-edition dress launched by AMN this year, purportedly selling at a six-figure price. Judging by the craftsmanship, it didn’t seem like a knockoff, but she didn’t believe Hu Jiaojiao could afford such a luxury item. Like her, she was now from an ordinary family; there was only one possibility that she could afford this dress: someone had given it to her.
Deng Feifei couldn’t have gifted her the dress, as she herself was barely keeping afloat, let alone paying attention to Hu Jiaojiao.
