After Uncle Chen left, Lin Qianyi rubbed her head, feeling rather conflicted.
"Sigh! Never mind. Let's take things one step at a time. It should be worth it to love such an exceptional guy."
Lin Qianyi sighed again as she muttered to herself.
Xia Baizhi's engagement party started at 6 pm. Lin Qianyi put on a bit of makeup and got dressed before leaving the house at 5 pm. She was going to meet up with Su Xiaoqing first before heading over to the venue.
She rejected the butler's offer to get a driver to send her over. Instead, she boarded a taxi that was already waiting outside the villa.
"Damn!! Lin Qianyi! Is this your so-called gown?!!"
Lin Qianyi had just alighted when Su Xiaoqing's complaints drifted into her ears.
Lin Qianyi crossed her arms and maintained a calm face as she walked over and glared at her.
"I look pretty good in this gown."
Lin Qianyi stated nonchalantly.
"Good? Good my foot!"
Su Xiaoqing glared at her before reaching over to tug at Lin Qianyi's simple blue dress.
She said disdainfully, "Are you calling this lousy dress a gown? Lin Qianyi, are you purposely trying to drive me mad?!"
Su Xiaoqing didn't hold back at all in her criticisms.
The corners of Lin Qianyi's lips twitched. She rolled her eyes. "Yes, yes, yes. My dress is very common while your gown is regal and elegant," Lin Qianyi said in exasperation as she surveyed Su Xiaoqing, who had done herself up splendidly.
"Of course, who do you think I am?"
Su Xiaoqing was extremely smug and self-satisfied after hearing her best friend's praises.
But she quickly recomposed herself. They were talking about Lin Qianyi's outfit now, not about hers.
Su Xiaoqing's preening expression instantly changed as she glared at Lin Qianyi again. "Don't try to change the subject. Look at yourself! What do you think you are trying to do? Didn't we agree to amaze everyone? How are you going to amaze anyone like that?!"
Lin Qianyi glanced at her mildly. "I think you were the one who said you wanted to amaze them, right?"
Su Xiaoqing felt somewhat sheepish at that.
But she remembered that she was just trying to avenge her best friend, and her embarrassment quickly faded, replaced by a sense of self-righteousness.
"I'm doing this for you! That fake white lotus wants to make you look bad? We will strike back at her and aggravate her to death!"
Su Xiaoqing huffed and puffed in anger.
Without waiting for Lin Qianyi to reply, she dragged her to a nearby clothing store.
"There are many ways to aggravate someone. We don't have to use this method."
Lin Qianyi stated in exasperation as she was dragged in.
"I don't care! I won't give up until I make that fake white lotus' face black!"
Su Xiaoqing continued to rage on.
Lin Qianyi was helpless before her best friend's determination. She had no choice but to let herself get dragged into that luxury clothing store and allow herself to be tortured.
40 minutes later, the two of them finally emerged from the clothing store.
The two of them attracted quite a number of stares the moment they stepped out.
Most of the stares lingered on Lin Qianyi.
"Haha, look. I have good taste, right?"
Su Xiaoqing felt smug after seeing all the amazed looks thrown at them.
Lin Qianyi tugged at the elegant red gown and glanced at her. "Yes, yes, yes. Su Xiaoqing's taste is without peer. So, can we please go now?"
Although she didn't really like wearing such gowns, she didn't want to brush off her best friend's good intentions.
Moreover, it would be pretty fun to aggravate that disgusting couple.
