Of course, Ji Fei wasn't going to rashly jump out and play the hero. It would be embarrassing if she ended up making a fool of herself.

So before taking action, Ji Fei quietly asked Qin Xian, "Are you the big boss of this mall?"

Qin Xian paused, then replied, "...Yes."

"So that means I can do whatever I want?"

Qin Xian: "...More or less."

"What if I want to snatch that dress?"

Qin Xian had a pretty good idea of what Ji Fei was planning to do. He immediately took out his phone and sent a message to his Special Assistant.

In fact, Qin Xian felt that if Ji Fei didn't act soon, the two people behind them wouldn't be able to hold back any longer.

After all, everyone in their family had a kind heart.

When Ji Fei jumped out and shouted, Qin Xian could even hear a big sigh of relief from behind.

Meanwhile, the people in front all turned to look at Ji Fei in disbelief.

They probably didn't expect a Cheng Yaojin to suddenly appear out of nowhere.

Ruan Jia looked at Ji Fei with suspicion, not recognizing her at first. It wasn't until she saw Qin Yan further back - the female hospital director who had come to check on her when she was hospitalized alone - now smiling and waving at her, that she remembered running into them earlier during dinner.

Although it was embarrassing to be seen in such a sorry state by acquaintances, she also understood that these people were trying to help her.

Wang Jiani, on the other hand, stared at Ji Fei in shock, not understanding what this person was trying to do. Did she know Ruan Jia? Was she helping Ruan Jia?

"Is she a friend of yours, Sister Ruan Jia?" Wang Jiani probed.

Ruan Jia replied, "I don't know her."

Wang Jiani became even more bewildered as she looked at Ji Fei again.

As she looked closer, she suddenly felt that Ji Fei seemed familiar. Unfortunately, Ji Fei's online photos were all model shots, and there was quite a difference between her fully made-up look and her everyday appearance.

At this moment, although still beautiful, Ji Fei was bare-faced, lively and energetic. She looked much younger than in her model photos, more like a vibrant university beauty queen than a celebrity.

The man beside her surprised Wang Jiani even more. With his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he had an imposing air. His jet-black eyes gleamed with a cold light, like the finest ink jade, giving off an aloof and noble aura that kept people at a thousand-mile distance.

Beautiful people were common, but Wang Jiani had rarely seen a man with such outstanding bearing and looks. Even her senior, the Best Actor, would probably pale in comparison standing next to him.

Wang Jiani was observant enough to tell from their attire and demeanor that these two were either wealthy or noble.

But even so, there was no reason for them to snatch her dress.

"Miss, I've already reserved this dress," Wang Jiani spoke up.

"You haven't paid for it yet, so how can you say it's reserved? I think this dress suits me better," Ji Fei stepped forward with a smile.

Wang Jiani's face stiffened. She felt that what Ji Fei said was very similar to what she had said to Ruan Jia earlier.

"I've reserved it, and I can pay for it. You're just a step too late, Miss," Wang Jiani said. Without waiting for Ji Fei's response, she turned to the sales assistant, "I'll sign for it. Please wrap it up."

But before the sales assistant could agree, all the sales assistants in the store received an order through their earpieces.

The sales assistant who was about to process the order suddenly changed her expression and immediately returned Wang Jiani's supplementary card.

Wang Jiani's face changed instantly. "What does this mean?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but our store manager has instructed that this dress is not for sale to the public. To express our apologies, we can offer you a 10% discount on other items," the sales assistant smiled.

"You won't sell it to me? Are you going to sell it to her instead?" Wang Jiani pointed at Ji Fei in disbelief.

As the sales assistant was struggling with how to respond, Ji Fei stepped forward and presented the membership card Qin Xian had handed over.

The sales assistant's eyes lit up at the sight, seeing this highest-level membership card for the first time. "Miss, would you like this dress?"

Ji Fei nodded.

The sales assistant said, "No problem. Would you like to try it on?"

"Hey! Wait a minute, what's going on here..." Wang Jiani was furious and confused.

The sales assistant explained, "This is our store's highest-level membership card. Any items not for sale to the public are available to its holder. I'm sorry, Miss Wang, but even if Mr. Sheng's primary card were here, it wouldn't be enough, let alone a supplementary card."

These words made Wang Jiani's face turn red.

This was all according to the rules, so Wang Jiani knew that making a fuss wouldn't help. She could only say that she had been overpowered by someone with more influence. In the end, she could only cast an unwilling glance at Ji Fei before leaving. After all, she had already succeeded in making Ruan Jia unhappy.

Finally, Ruan Jia wanted to say thank you to Qin Yan, but when she looked up, Qin Yan had disappeared. In the end, she could only nod to the unfamiliar Ji Fei and Qin Xian as a gesture of gratitude for their kindness.

After Ruan Jia left, Ji Fei was about to go try on the dress.

Qin Xian asked, "Do you really want this one? Do you like it?"

Qin Xian thought Ji Fei was just helping to annoy the others. After all, based on Ji Fei's current taste, she probably wouldn't like this kind of dress. With so many straps, she would find it troublesome to put on.

"I do like it," Ji Fei replied.

Qin Xian was surprised that Ji Fei's taste had changed again.

[Just thinking about the expression Wang Jiani will have when she sees me wearing this dress during the variety show recording makes me love it so much. Hehe!]

Qin Xian: ...So that's the kind of "like" it is.

Meanwhile, Ruan Jia left the store in a daze. As soon as she walked out of the door, her phone rang.

Ruan Jia's face turned icy cold when she saw the caller ID. She answered the phone, and a cold voice came through.

"Did you hit Jiani?"

"Huh... She's already tattled on me? Sheng Wenyue, if it weren't for this incident, I probably would never receive a call from you, nor would I be able to get through to you, right?"

"Ruan Jia, it seems you still haven't reflected on your actions."

"Reflect on what? Reflect on something I didn't do? Reflect on why you're throwing mud at me? Reflect on why my husband stopped my card based on another woman's one-sided words? Hah, maybe I should reflect - perhaps I should get a new husband."

"Ruan Jia, you've really changed. I don't even recognize you anymore. Do you really not trust me at all? Things between her and me are completely innocent. We've already wronged her enough. I just want to make amends on your behalf. Can you stop targeting her? If you continue like this, we might as well get a divorce..."

The word "divorce" made Ruan Jia's whole body stiffen.

"Now, go apologize to Jiani!"

Perhaps too shocked, Ruan Jia stood still on the spot, her face pale. After a long pause, she finally replied, "You didn't even ask what happened?"

"No matter what happened, it's not a reason for you to hit someone!"

"I don't recognize you anymore either, Sheng Wenyue. Since you brought it up, fine then, let's get a divorce." Ruan Jia's voice was soft, as if she were utterly exhausted.

This time, it was the other party who paused. "I'm serious. I'm not joking around with you."

"I'm serious too."

The other party seemed to take a deep breath, extremely impatient.

"How long are you going to keep acting unreasonably? Ruan Jia, you're really wearing away all the love I have for you! Forget it, I'll have to make up for your mistakes again. You cool down by yourself. After I send Jiani back to where she belongs, we'll have a good talk."

Ruan Jia wanted to say something more, but the other party had already hung up, not giving her any chance to explain.

Ruan Jia felt like there was a lump of blood stuck in her chest. Suddenly, her vision went black and she started to fall backward. But she didn't fall down - two people caught her.

She turned her head to see Qin Yan smiling awkwardly.

It turned out that Qin Yan and Qin's Mom had been standing in a corner outside the store, debating whether to continue following the two people inside or go shopping on their own. They ended up encountering Ruan Jia coming out and making a phone call nearby. The area was very quiet, and they could hear the conversation clearly. It really made both of them angry enough.

Seeing Ruan Jia's awful expression, Qin Yan didn't know what else to say.

"Come on, let's take you to the hospital."

By the time evening came and it was time to go home, Ji Fei and Qin Xian only picked up Qin's Mom and Little Xixi. That's when they learned that Qin Yan had taken Ruan Jia to the hospital. Qin's Mom, eager to share the gossip, quickly told Ji Fei about the phone call they had overheard.

Ji Fei widened her eyes in disbelief.

[He didn't want to hear a single word about the injustice his wife suffered. He's completely looking for trouble on behalf of the mistress. How can this kind of man still righteously claim that he loves his wife and that things are innocent with the mistress? Forget it, just bury him.]
