Jun Jiuli slept soundly. After waking up, she deliberately dressed up before going downstairs.
Her father, dressed in a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and reading a newspaper in the living room, saw his daughter coming downstairs.
He put down the newspaper, straightened himself, and said, "Why are you up so early today? It's a rare holiday, you should sleep in. Are you going out dressed like this?"
"Yes, Dad. I'm meeting Qin Huan to go shopping today."
"Do you have enough money? If not, Dad can transfer some to you."
"I have enough, thank you, Dad." Jun Jiuli sat on the sofa as she spoke.
At this moment, her older brother, Yin, who was sitting beside them, said, "Dad, I'm short on money. Can you transfer some to me too?" As he spoke, he leaned his head towards their father.
Yin's father playfully patted his head and said, "No."
He scratched his head and said, "Dad, you're so biased. You transfer money to my sister but not to me. I'm unloved. Oh, little cabbage, yellow in the field~"
At this moment, Yin's mother also came downstairs. "You're so old, and you're still jealous of your sister."
"I'm not jealous, Mom. If Dad won't give me money, can you?" He then leaned towards his mother, rubbing his fingers together.
"I really can't do anything about you."
Saying this, she transferred some money to her eldest son's account, and also to her daughter's.
The family enjoyed breakfast together harmoniously and then went their separate ways. Yin's father went to work, and Yin's mother had plans with her friends for beauty treatments.
Yin's older brother went out to have fun with his friends. He had just graduated from university and was about to start learning in the company, so this was his last period of carefree freedom.
"Little sister, where are you going? Want me to give you a ride?"
"No need, I'm driving myself. Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient when I come back."
Yin's older brother scanned Jun Jiuli with an uncertain gaze and asked doubtfully, "When did you learn to drive?"
Jun Jiuli realized she had slipped up. Indifferently, she said, "Oh, I just watched Uncle Wang drive, and I learned."
Yin's older brother flicked her forehead and then coolly said, "Watching is different from actually driving. Get in, I'll give you a ride. Uncle Wang is taking Dad to the company. Call me later when you're done shopping, and I'll pick you up."
"You don't even have a driver's license yet. If you get stopped by traffic police, I'll have to pick you up from the police station."
"Alright."
Jun Jiuli obediently got into the passenger seat.
"Hold on tight!"
As he spoke, the car shot forward like an arrow from a bow, giving the impression of a race car.
He thought his little sister would be somewhat flustered, but when he turned to look, he saw Jun Jiuli's expressionless, stoic face.
He slowed down with amusement, thinking his sister had been scared silly. With only one sister, he couldn't push it too far.
Soon, they arrived at the largest luxury mall in City A. After Jun Jiuli got out of the car, she was about to take out her phone to message the original host's best friend, Qin Huan.
Then she saw a million yuan arrive in her bank account. A WeChat message from someone named "Brother" came through.
"I'm sponsoring you a bit. Have fun today."
Jun Jiuli smiled. The original host's brother was indeed a lively sister-complex.
As she was looking down at her phone, someone tapped her shoulder. "Hey, Yuebai."
Jun Jiuli turned her head and was immediately embraced by a cute girl.
Qin Huan was also 18 years old this year and had enrolled in A University with the original host. Her round little face was adorned with two eyes that sparkled like gems. Her skin was as white as snow, her nose was small and delicate, and her lips were red and her teeth white. She looked like a doll, and her voice was sweet and soft.
Yin Yuebai was 1.7 meters tall, and today she was wearing 9-centimeter heels. Standing next to Qin Huan, who was only 1.6 meters tall, they gave off the impression of a mature woman with a cute girl.
Qin Huan linked her arm through Jun Jiuli's and said, "Yuebai, let's go quickly. A certain store just received a new shipment today."
"Okay."
The Qin family was the only aristocratic family that didn't try to take advantage of the Yin family when they fell into trouble. Instead, they secretly supported the original host.
Qin Huan and the original host had grown up together, and their relationship was very close. After the Yin family collapsed, due to certain reasons, Qin Huan was also harmed.
The female lead, Su Yunmo, always looked down on young ladies from wealthy families like them, believing they were useless and ignorant apart from their good family background.
Her sensitive self-esteem made her feel that when the original host and Qin Huan, dressed in luxury, showed her kindness and concern, they were pitying her and looking down on her.
Therefore, after she gained power, she had Qin Huan kidnapped and sold to Africa. Qin Huan was the only child of the Qin family. After their daughter went missing, Qin Huan's parents were extremely anxious and searched everywhere.
Jiang Li seized the opportunity, and soon after, the Qin family declared bankruptcy. Qin Huan's parents lived out their later years in misery.
The male and female leads felt that everything was a just punishment for their snobbery.
Shui Wa: "Damn, my fists are clenched. How could they do that to such a cute girl? Did the heavens pick the male and female leads with their toes?"
"Little system, you're becoming more and more emotional, aren't you?"
"This cute little sister makes people feel heartache too."
"Get lost, get lost."
Qin Huan and Jun Jiuli were already VIPs at this mall. Whichever brand of clothing or bags they wanted, someone would bring it to them to choose from.
So, the two sat in the VIP room, browsing through a tablet to see if there was anything they wanted to buy.
"This, this, and that. Bring them all over for me to try on. Yin's eldest miss is paying today."
After saying that, she playfully glanced back at Jun Jiuli, who was sitting beside her, looking bored. Jun Jiuli just gave her a doting smile.
The several sales assistants standing nearby felt as if their hometown's lilies had bloomed. This young lady was so cool, and that young lady was also so cute.
Today's commission was enough for their monthly salary. They thought, "Sisters, I can do that too."
The two shopped for a whole morning and bought quite a few items, which were sent directly home. They then went out for lunch at a Chinese restaurant nearby.
"Yuebai, do you want to live on campus after school starts?"
"I don't want to. It's not far anyway. I can have the family driver take me every day."
"Then I won't live on campus either. I was thinking if you were going to live on campus, we'd share a room."
After chatting for a while, they went to an accessories store and bought some jewelry. Jun Jiuli's card was Yin's father's secondary card, and they bought quite a lot of things.
Qin Huan's family driver had already arrived to pick her up. Since it was on the way, he also gave Jun Jiuli a ride home.
