Become a Master of Drawing False Hope in a Tragic Novel [GL]

Chapter 57

Thinking like this, but when it came time to act, Jiang Jiaotao hesitated a bit.

She treated herself so well, could it really be without deception?

Even if not, purely because she's naive, if she falls for it, would it be taking advantage of her vulnerability?

After circling around and around, Bian Yingning finally picked a beige square bag, but Jiang Jiaotao hadn't found one yet.

As the staff wrapped the bag Bian Yingning chose, she walked over to Jiang Jiaotao, who seemed absent-minded. "What's wrong? Don't you like anything?"

"Well..." Jiang Jiaotao didn't know how to answer.

"Should we try another store?"

Jiang Jiaotao didn't answer. She looked behind Bian Yingning and saw a shop assistant packaging the bag Bian Yingning wanted. "Have you found something you like?"

"No," Bian Yingning turned her head and glanced. "This is for buying a gift... to apologize to someone."

They had agreed to apologize to Duanmu Zhengjie, and she didn't know how to express it. Buying a bag and stuffing it with some things seemed like a suitable gesture.

Jiang Jiaotao's eyes flickered.

Someone's sister?

"Do you know so many sisters?" Jiang Jiaotao suddenly said.

Bian Yingning frowned. "No, they are just... people I need to know for work."

Task = Work

Is this equation correct?

Jiang Jiaotao nodded and turned around, picking up a chain bag she had been admiring for a long time. "What do you think of this one?"

"It looks good, very unique," Bian Yingning praised sincerely.

Seeing Jiang Jiaotao looking satisfied, Bian Yingning had the staff wrap up this bag as well.

When she turned to make the payment, Jiang Jiaotao looked back at the price of the bag she had chosen, over two hundred thousand yuan.

That's enough for a down payment on a house in a small town.

"I'll deduct the decimal point, the total is six hundred and fifty thousand..."

Upon hearing the shop assistant and Bian Yingning reconciling the accounts, Jiang Jiaotao couldn't help but glance at the two shopping bags on the table.

The bag she bought for that sister was actually over four hundred thousand yuan.

It seems... she's a very important sister.

"Well," after completing the payment, Bian Yingning handed the bag Jiang Jiaotao picked to her. "Nice to meet you, Miss Jiang."

She spoke with a gentle smile, the curve of her lips carrying an enchanting charm. Not to mention her extravagant gestures, it was enough to captivate anyone.

Jiang Jiaotao accepted the bag and felt a slight unease for the first time. "Thank you..."

Even after they stepped out of the store, Jiang Jiaotao still had a sense of unreality. Did she really... receive such an expensive bag?

The two continued to browse, with Bian Yingning maintaining her enthusiasm while Jiang Jiaotao remained preoccupied.

"What are you thinking? Did I surprise you too much? Did I burden you too heavily?"

After walking up a floor, Bian Yingning suddenly stopped and asked.

Jiang Jiaotao looked up. Today, she wore a pair of black high-heeled shoes, and she met Bian Yingning's gaze directly. "I... I just feel that you should save more money for yourself instead of spending it like this."
