Gu Meng saw Qiao Qingya at that moment and felt extremely surprised. (Cotton Candy)

  She never thought that she would meet Qiao Qingya again, and the other party was still wearing the purple skirt she had seen with Qin Sheng.

  It just so happened that Qiao Qingya's overly direct question made her feel a little uncomfortable. What did she mean by how could she be here, couldn't she come to this place?

  "What a coincidence! You're also here trying on clothes." Gu Mei calmed herself and looked at Qiao Qingya with a composed expression.

  Qiao Qingya also seemed to realize that her previous question was somewhat impolite, and quickly regained her composure, nodding at Gu Mian: "Yes."

  Qin Sheng had not noticed Qiao Qingya before, but now that he saw Gu Mian and Qiao Qingya knew each other, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

  Although it's not quite clear what the relationship is between these two women, he has keenly sensed a hint of something being off.

  "How about it? Do you want to take a look at some other skirts?" Qin Sheng took two steps forward and asked Gu Mei softly.

  "That's enough, I'll just take this one." Gu Mei was already quite satisfied with the dress she had on, and now that Qiao Qingya was here, she didn't have the heart to continue trying on clothes. She turned around and headed back into the fitting room to change back into her own clothes.

  Qin Sheng saw Gu Ming say so and didn't ask any more questions. He directly let Wen Jie pack up the things Gu Ming had chosen.

  When it was time to pay the bill, Qin Sheng had originally intended to help with the payment, but Gu Mei took a step ahead and handed her card to Wen Jie. Although Qin Sheng had brought her here, she didn't want him to help with the payment. Today's clothes and shoes weren't cheap, but Gu Mei could still afford them.

  Soon after, Gu Mei left with Qin Sheng, and when they walked away, they only gave Qiao Qingya a polite greeting.

  "Mrs. Du, is there anything else about this skirt that doesn't fit?" Wen sister saw off Qin Sheng and Gu Mei, and then shifted her attention back to Qiao Qingya.

  Qiao Qingya recalled her thoughts, pointing to the position of her waist: "I've lost a bit of weight these days, and my waist looks a bit loose. Can you tighten it up for me?"

  "Yes." Wen Jie nodded, and took out a tape measure to measure the places that needed to be altered: "Madam Du's figure is really good, she looks great in anything, ordinary people wouldn't dare wear this skirt."

  Qiao Qingya smiled slightly. She accepted Wen's compliment: "By the way, was that young lady just now also a regular customer here?"

  "No, it's my first time here today." said Wen Jie with a smile.

  "Oh." Qiao Qingya nodded and didn't ask further.

  "Is your skirt ready?" Just then, Du Hao suddenly walked in from outside.

  Qiao Qingya looked at Du Hao in surprise, the first thought that flashed through her mind was whether Du Hao had met Gu Tian who had just left.

  Her mind was racing quickly, but her face didn't show anything: "Didn't you say you were busy with something? Why so sudden?"

  "My mom just called and told us to go back for dinner tonight, so I came to pick you up." Du Hao didn't know what Qiao Qingya was thinking, but her expression seemed normal.

  "Alright, I'll get it done right away." Qiao Qingya smiled sweetly at Du Hao.

  Du Hao nodded and turned around to sit in the place where Qin Sheng had sat before.

  It turned out that Qiao Qingya's worries were all unnecessary, as Du Hao walked to the door when Gu Mian and Qin Sheng had just left. So he didn't know at all that Gu Mian had been here.

  But at this moment, Du Hao's heart was indeed thinking about Gu Mian again. Although the matter of Gu Mian's second uncle, Gu Rong, had been settled when he knew about it, his heart couldn't put it down completely.

  Last time was rejected by Gu Mian very ruthlessly, Du Hao also felt a bit lost face, but in addition to losing face, he also had some reservations in his heart.

  To put it simply, Du Hao has always been in the dominant position when it comes to women. Before meeting Gu Mian, he wasn't without other girlfriends.

  He dares to say that his attention to Gu Mian surpasses any of his previous girlfriends, even surpassing his current wife Qiao Qingya. Unfortunately, many things in this world cannot be as one wishes.

  For his career. For better development, he still did something wrong to Gu Mian.

  Qiao Qingya is beautiful and considerate. She is indeed a rare good wife, living with such a wife may feel very comfortable. But he always feels like something is missing in his heart.

  It's more like he and Qiao Qingya are going to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife, but rather it's just one of his obligations that needs to be fulfilled.

  "It's all right, let's go now, so we won't keep Mom waiting." Qiao Qingya changed back into her own clothes and instructed Wenjie to send the revised version directly home this time.

  "Let's go!" Du Hao came back to his senses and left with Qiao Qingya together.

  After Gu Mei and Qin Sheng left, the whole person seemed a bit listless. Qin Sheng saw it in his eyes and guessed that Gu Mei's appearance was probably related to the woman he had just seen.

  But thinking back, it seems like I've seen that woman somewhere before, she looks quite familiar.

  "It was supposed to be me taking you shopping for clothes today, but in the end it became you paying the bill. This has somewhat hurt my self-esteem." Qin Sheng said, seeing that the atmosphere had become a bit dull, and took the initiative to speak up.

  "It's not a big deal, although I agreed to be your partner, but going to the exhibition also broadened my horizons. You know, skirts and stuff are secondary, accessories are what matter. Since you think it's humiliating, then I'll give you the jewelry I was going to wear that day." Gu Mian said with a half-joking tone.

  "This is no problem." Qin Sheng readily agreed.

  "By the way, I've been meaning to ask you, who is hosting this exhibition?" asked Gu Mian.

  "He is a noble gentleman from a certain country, and one of the most important exhibits in this exhibition is the family heirloom of this gentleman." Qin Sheng explained slowly.

  "What is it?" Most women are naturally interested in princes and nobles, and Gu Mei was no exception.

  "It's a precious ruby necklace 'Rose Queen'." Qin Sheng replied.

  Rose Queen?

  This shocked Gu Xiang, if she wasn't mistaken, the thing that Robert had asked Old Man Huang to repair seemed to be called "Rose Queen", could it be that the noble gentleman Qin Sheng mentioned was actually Robert?

  "What's wrong?" Qin Sheng noticed the surprise on Gu Mei's face and couldn't help but ask.

  Gu Mei shook her head: "Nothing, then what else is there in this exhibition besides 'Rose Queen'?"

  "I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I've heard rumors that this exhibition will feature a privately-owned Han Dynasty jade burial suit." Qin Sheng said to Gu Mian.

  "Is this a Han Dynasty golden jade garment?" Gu Ming let out a low cry of surprise.

  Jade clothes with golden threads are extremely rare, each piece is worth a city, Gu Ming has never seen one before, and didn't expect to see such an item at this exhibition.

  "No wonder Professor Wang also participated, it turns out there's such a good thing." Gu Ming originally drowsy heart suddenly came alive again, with excitement in his eyes.

  "This is just hearsay for now, and we'll only know if it's true that day." A hint of a smile flashed in Qin Sheng's eyes as he knew Gu Mei would be interested in this meeting.

  "I really wish time would pass quickly." Gu Ming clasped her hands together in a prayer-like gesture.

  Time passed day by day in Gu Mian's expectation, and it was finally Friday. Gu Mian felt full of energy, every time it came to Friday, people would feel especially happy, tomorrow could rest again.

  "Gu Mian, come quickly!" Hu Dajie excitedly called out to Gu Mian as it was already lunchtime.

  "What's wrong with you? Did you win the lottery or something? Why are you so happy?" Gu Ming teased with a smile.

  Sister Hu gently twisted Gu Ming's arm: "If I really won the lottery, I would quit my job immediately. The list of promotions has finally been released today, have you gone to take a look?"

  "Has it arrived? I didn't notice, Professor Wang gave me a lot of work to do early this morning and I was so busy that I didn't even have time to catch my breath." Gu Mei said, shaking her slightly sore hands.

  "Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a big commotion and you didn't even go take a look, what a pity." Hu Dasister leaned in close to Gu Mian's ear and said in a low voice: "A few days ago, wasn't that Juanzi bragging everywhere that she got the promotion quota this time? But guess what, today the list came out and no matter how hard you looked, you couldn't find Juanzi's name on it. Instead, another person who has been working here for over two years without getting promoted had their name appear on the list."

  "What's this about?" Gu Mian asked strangely.

  Looking at Chen Peng and Wang Juan's expressions, they should have been 90% sure about this quota, so why did it end up like this at the last minute?

  "Oh my, you didn't see that girl's expression this morning, it was so vivid! Everyone was hiding behind and laughing at her. Luckily she had said before that she would treat us to dinner and even booked a table, but... " Aunt Hu covered her mouth and snickered, quietly pointing across the way: "Look at her, with that 'do not disturb' expression, as if someone owed her money and didn't pay back."

  Gu Mei looked over in the direction that Hu Da Jie was pointing and indeed saw Wang Juan poking at her food with a look of disgust on her face, as if she were stabbing an enemy.

  Seeing this, Gu Mei couldn't help but feel a wave of relief in her heart. Wang Juan had resorted to underhanded tactics to grab the quota, only to end up with nothing in the end. She got what she deserved!

  "Big Sister Hu, how did things turn out like this?" Gu Mian turned her head towards Big Sister Hu.

  "Bad people will be punished by bad people, heaven has eyes!" Hu Dajie smiled slyly.

  Gu Mei nodded in agreement with Hu's statement.
