Chapter 1572: Country Bumpkin Who’s Never Seen Good Stuff

Hai Xue and the group of five strolled along the street.

Since Minxing had previously received two hundred thousand from Mengyu, and the two hundred thousand from Mom was also in her hand, she couldn’t resist buying whatever looked nice without needing a ticket, until they were all carrying full bags and she finally curbed her shopping urge.

She regretted that she couldn’t put them in the Hundred Treasure Bag. However, even if she could, the Hundred Treasure Bag was only one cubic meter in space, and at her rate of buying, it probably wouldn’t fit.

But with so many items in hand, they naturally couldn’t continue strolling the street. Hai Xue then suggested they head back.

The young girls didn’t want to turn back; they had only been out for a short time.

But Minxing had bought quite a lot, and carrying so many things down the street was indeed a bit burdensome.

Especially Jiayi, who saw Minxing buying everything, mostly cheap goods, and looked down on her: "Such a country bumpkin who’s never seen good stuff."

Minxing retorted: "Who are you calling a country bumpkin? You say that just because you can’t afford things yourself."

Jiayi snorted: "I wouldn’t buy cheap stuff like that. If I’m buying, it’s brand names only. Only poor ghosts buy such cheap stuff."

Ou Zhen quickly scolded: "Jiayi, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Jiayi pouted: "It’s just the truth, buying whatever, and none of it is good quality."

Le Yin chimed in: "Ah Min is buying so much, of course it’s not all for herself. Her classmates surely asked her to help buy things when they heard she was coming to Xiangjiang. Right, Ah Min?"

Jiayi, hearing it was for gifting, couldn’t say more.

However, she was puzzled: "Aren’t you a bodyguard? Why are you calling my cousin Ah Min?"

Minxing rolled her eyes at her: "Do you think it’s like Xiangjiang where everyone’s called young master or lady? We all address each other by name." Then she added, "Le Yin, just ignore her. People like her have a case of the ’lady affliction.’

In truth, even though Le Yin was a Hidden Guard, Mengyu found her quite reliable after some time and kept her around, entrusting many things to her. She discovered Le Yin’s potential and decided to take her as a registered disciple, making them sort of sister disciples.

Although Le Yin was older than Minxing, it was no big deal calling her Ah Min.

"Who has the ’lady affliction’? It’s your Gu Family that doesn’t understand rank and status, isn’t it?" Jiayi said angrily.

Thinking about Gu Minxing sitting and rising as equals with the bodyguard degraded her own status, even affecting her as a cousin.

Ou Zhen sighed: "Jiayi, how can you speak to your cousin like that? Apologize to her!"

Feeling quite frustrated, Ou Zhen regretted bringing Jiayi along knowing she’d be this troublesome. Having been to the mainland, Ou Zhen understood that mainland people adhere to the principle of "jobs have divisions, people have no hierarchy," at least appearing equal.

Jiayi saw her elder cousin always defending Minxing and angrily shouted, "You’re on their side; I don’t want you meddling. You apologize then; I haven’t done anything wrong."

She shook off her cousin’s hand and resolutely walked forward alone. She turned into a street without noticing it wasn’t even a main street, just to show she wasn’t with them.

Ou Zhen saw her like this and smiled bitterly to herself. This cousin was indeed a child. She could only turn to the elder aunt: "Elder aunt, cousin, Jiayi was spoiled; please don’t take it to heart."
