Chapter 739 Miss Cheng, What a Coincidence
So, Shen Mianmian applied a cucumber face mask every night after school. Yang Xiaoxi didn’t know if it was effective, but whatever Shen Mianmian did, she would do the same.
Such days continued for another week, and when He Nan returned from out of town, he saw her sun-tanned little face and his eyes filled with indulgence, making Yang Xiaoxi exclaim that she couldn’t stand it and she dived into the room.
Because he was quite busy, he took the two to have lunch near the company before heading to the office.
Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi, having nothing better to do, went to a nearby mall.
Initially, Yang Xiaoxi planned to buy two pieces of clothing to wear, but after entering the mall and seeing the prices, she abandoned the idea of buying clothes and couldn’t help but complain.
"Clothes in Beijing are just too expensive, this one piece of clothing costs more than my monthly living expenses. How can ordinary people like us afford to shop here? I still prefer Licheng, where I can’t even spend twenty yuan in a month."
The same amount of money that would go far in Licheng was practically worthless here in Beijing.
In Licheng, her monthly allowance of twenty yuan was the envy of her classmates, whose eyes would gleam with jealousy; here in Beijing, twenty yuan couldn’t even buy a single piece of clothing.
