“Yes, this gown was custom-made by our family’s designer when you and Brother got engaged. However, we didn’t need those previously. This dress is a little special. You chose the style and color yourself at that time and said that you planned to wear it on the day of the banquet. Some time ago, the gown was sent to our house. I saw that it wasn’t cheap, so I couldn’t bear to sell it. 1 thought that you might need it to attend Miss Li’s birthday banquet this time, so 1 sent it to you.”
“Did your brother ask you to come?” Jiang Youyi asked her.
“No, no one in the family knows about this. 1 was afraid that Brother would be sad when he saw the gown, so I didn’t dare tell him. I took the initiative to send it to you.” Xu Pingping had improved a lot compared to before. She knew that Sister Youyi was very annoyed at the mention of her brother now, so she didn’t dare to mention it.
“Alright, thank you. I’ll take it.”
“Really?” Xu Pingping was pleasantly surprised. When she came, she didn’t have much hope. She thought that Sister Youyi would most likely reject her, but she really couldn’t bear to let her mother cut off such an expensive gown and throw it away.
“Really. Thank you, Pingping. I’ll take it.”
“There’s no need to thank me, Sister Youyi. You separated from my brother because he let you down. My mother is even on the show… but 1 know very well that you’ve already done your best for our family. No matter what, I’m still very happy that this gown can be worn by you in the end.” Xu Pingping liked Jiang Youyi from the bottom of her heart, so she was very sincere in giving her the gown.
“I can accept your kindness, but 1 must give you the money for this gown.”
“How can 1 do that? No, I can’t take your money.”
“If you don’t accept the money, I can’t accept the gown either.” Jiang Youyi took the bag and looked at the tag on the gown. It was from a certain luxury brand. 89,000 yuan was really not cheap. “1’11 transfer the money to you through Alipay. Pingping, you have to accept this money.”
Xu Pingping looked troubled. “Sister Youyi, I just want to give you a gift. 1 really can’t accept your money.”
“I understand your intentions, so I’ve said that I’ll accept your intentions. However, your brother and I have already separated. I can’t accept such an expensive gown from you for no reason. Pingping, accept the money. Don’t make things too difficult for me.”
Jiang Youyi didn’t want to waste such an expensive gown. The style of this gown was indeed quite good. She could wear it to more formal occasions.
“Alright… I’ll take it then.”
Jiang Youyi smiled at her and transferred the money to her via Alipay. Although Xu Pingping was very unwilling, she could only accept the money.
“Sister Youyi, I…”
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat with me?”
“I’m not eating, Sister Youyi. 1 still have class later and have to go to school.” Xu Pingping pursed her lips as if she had something to say, but she swallowed it in the end. She rejected Jiang Youyi’s invitation and left.
“Third Miss, you’re too soft-hearted! How good would it be if you just let her throw away the clothes? It has nothing to do with us anyway. Why should we give them nearly 90,000 yuan? Just thinking about it makes me feel that it’s not worth it!” Sister Fang was furious. She was indignant about Xu Yuning’s mother defaming Jiang Youyi on the show previously.
“Don’t be angry, Sister Fang. This 90,000 yuan is just because of Pingping’s sincerity. It has nothing to do with the rest of the Xu family.” Jiang Youyi was willing to accept the gown because she valued Xu Pingping’s heart. She knew that she might be blamed by her family for doing this, but she still wanted to give her the gown.
Nowadays, society is a big dye tank. Most people were blinded by greed. However, the young lady was young and innocent. She could not bear to reject her.
“Then Third Miss, are you really planning to wear this to the banquet?” Sister Fang was thinking that Xu Yuning would definitely attend the banquet that day. If he saw the clothes Third Miss was wearing, would he think that you still could not forget him?
To be honest, Jiang Youyi didn’t care what she was wearing on the day of the banquet at all because she was resistant to this banquet from the bottom of her heart.
Especially after knowing the relationship between Bai Bing and Lu Yunxiao, she felt that this banquet was like a trap set for her alone.
Therefore, she did not consider the problem of dressing up. She had never liked to show off.
Her second sister was so famous, but there was very little news about her on the Internet. Even the paparazzi had little information about her. If not for the fact that she wanted to take revenge on Xu Yuning and the Xu family this time, her name might not have appeared on the trending searches for the rest of her life..
