Luo Wei furrowed her delicate brows slightly, her gaze fixed ahead as she moved her lips, "Who is that man?"
"Hah, do you even need to ask? Judging by how close they are, their relationship is clearly not ordinary. Who would've thought, really, that Luo Qianqian would fall to this level, relying on an old man." Gu Chuyi clicked her tongue in mock surprise, her tone laced with cold sarcasm.
Luo Qianqian's gaze shot over and she spotted them as well. Her body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly concealed the complex emotions on her face.
Luo Wei watched as Luo Qianqian and the older man walked away, then retracted her gaze.
"Heh, serves her right. Karma has come knocking." Gu Chuyi hooked her arm around Luo Wei's as they walked toward the Chanel store.
"I wonder if Luo Jianguo knows what she's up to?" Luo Wei murmured to herself, almost as if talking to no one in particular.
"Why do you even care? You're too kind for your own good. Have you forgotten how she used to bully you?" Gu Chuyi nudged her small head with a look of helplessness.
Luo Wei thought about it and agreed. She no longer had anything to do with the Luo family, so why should she trouble herself?
Luo Wei smiled and asked, "How's your preparation for next week's fashion design competition?"
Gu Chuyi lifted her head proudly, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely ready. If I don't get first place, no one will dare to claim it."
Luo Wei nodded in agreement, a smile tugging at her lips, "Not bad, not bad, you're still as confident as ever."
Laughing and chatting, Luo Wei and Gu Chuyi walked into the Chanel store. Under the service of the store manager, Gu Chuyi bought the bag she had been eyeing for a long time and even ended up purchasing a few new ones.
"This one's for you," Gu Chuyi said, handing one of the expensive bags to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei smiled softly, "No need, I don't need many bags."
"Tsk, what woman doesn't need bags? I know you can afford it, but my only redeeming quality is giving gifts to friends, hehe."
Unable to refuse, Luo Wei silently accepted it. She usually enjoyed shopping but didn't buy unnecessary items—who said you have to buy something every time you shop?
Just as Luo Wei's face lit up with joy, she suddenly felt someone staring at her from ahead. She paused and looked up.
Sure enough, Luo Qianqian was glaring at them with a furious expression.
Gu Chuyi stopped as well, her face showing disdain as she muttered, "What a small world."
Luo Qianqian, wearing ten-centimeter high heels, swayed her hips as she walked toward them.
Luo Wei was speechless, not wanting to get entangled with her, nor waste her time. She was about to leave when Luo Qianqian intercepted her.
"What a small world, bumping into you two here," Luo Qianqian sneered, her voice sharp and haughty, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
Gu Chuyi took a deep breath, knowing the other was trouble, and retorted loudly, "What bad luck, running into someone I didn't want to see. I wonder who that old man was earlier—he's old enough to be her father."
Luo Qianqian scoffed, rolling her eyes at Gu Chuyi, "Does your family live by the sea? You sure like to meddle."
Gu Chuyi clenched her fists, her eyes shooting daggers, "You're the sick one."
Luo Wei tugged at Gu Chuyi's sleeve, whispering, "Let's not waste our time with someone like her. Let's go."
Luo Qianqian quickly stepped forward and grabbed Luo Wei's wrist. "Everything that's happened to me today is because of you. If it weren't for you, Mo Huai wouldn't have driven Luo Group into bankruptcy, and I wouldn't have ended up like this. Stop pretending, you owe me!"
Luo Wei looked at Luo Qianqian's twisted face with a mix of amusement and hesitation. "You chose to lower yourself to cling to men—how is that my fault? I've seen through your tricks long ago. I don't want to be entangled with you anymore. The two million I paid back then already severed any ties between me and the Luo family."
Luo Wei angrily shook off Luo Qianqian's hand.
Luo Qianqian's face alternated between pale and flushed as she gritted her teeth, "Cling to men? What nonsense are you spouting?"
Gu Chuyi snickered, mocking her, "You're just someone's mistress, so shameless, ugh."
Luo Qianqian trembled with rage, wanting to lash out, "Say that again, and I'll rip your mouth off."
"And who are you to stop me from talking? My mouth is on my face, not yours," Gu Chuyi retorted, looking at Luo Qianqian as if she were a clown, her mood brightening.
A dangerous glint flashed in Luo Qianqian's eyes. "Then I'll show you what I'm capable of."
With that, Luo Qianqian lunged at Gu Chuyi, and the two of them began wrestling. Gu Chuyi, not one to back down, fought back fiercely. "You dare pull my hair? You're dead!"
Gu Chuyi had never lost a fight growing up. Although she had been at a disadvantage the last time due to exhaustion from work, this time, having just eaten and full of energy, she easily overpowered Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian cursed furiously, "Let go, you disgusting woman, I'll kill you."
But Gu Chuyi held her down tightly, immobilizing her. "Go ahead, try me."
Gu Chuyi playfully stuck out her tongue, infuriating Luo Qianqian even more.
Luo Wei, standing to the side, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, shouting, "Chuyi, stop fighting!"
Seeing the two of them tangled together, Luo Wei, pregnant, was worried that Gu Chuyi might get hurt. But seeing that Gu Chuyi had the upper hand, she began to relax.
Luo Qianqian, cursing non-stop, managed to break free from Gu Chuyi's hold and raised her hand to slap her.
But Gu Chuyi, quick and agile, dodged it, "You're so sneaky."
"Not as sneaky as you," Luo Qianqian shot back, continuing the fight.
Cold sweat beaded on Luo Wei's forehead, but she was relieved that Gu Chuyi was quick enough to dodge Luo Qianqian's attack.
By now, the commotion had attracted a crowd of onlookers, but Luo Wei's attempts to mediate were ignored.
The crowd, instead of helping, was eager to watch the show, their comments audible.
"What are they doing? Watching women fight is so entertaining, haha." A middle-aged man grinned.
"That girl may be pretty, but she's so weak. Hit back already!"
"Tsk tsk... Pull her hair, kick her."
"Ugh, so weak. Boring."
"Yeah, men fighting is way better..."
...
Luo Wei shot a fierce glare at the gossiping men, and they immediately fell silent.
Luo Wei dropped her shopping bags and stepped forward to stop the fight, her voice urgent, "Stop it, both of you! Chuyi!"
But Gu Chuyi didn't stop, looking up at Luo Wei, "I'm teaching her a lesson today. Let's see if she'll still be so arrogant."
Luo Qianqian's eyes gleamed with malice, "You're dead too."
"What are you doing?" A gruff, hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
