"Huanhuan, what are you saying? Money is meant to be spent!"
"Money can't be brought with you when you're born or taken away when you die. If you don't spend it, it'll just 'go moldy'!"
"Moreover, buying things for my own sister can't be simply seen as spending money!"
Seeing Fu Moning looking so serious as she said this, Xia Sanghuan still couldn't understand with her brain that had endured eighteen years of poverty.
She sighed helplessly and thought of the room full of dolls her eldest brother had prepared for her.
"I don't need to buy all of them. Can I just pick a few I like?"
Seeing her so insistent, Fu Moning had to make a concession. While her little sister was bustling between the shelves, she walked over to Fu Youqing and murmured, "What should I do? My sister is so frugal and won't let me spend more money."
Fu Youqing shrugged, indicating that she was at a loss too.
Xia Sanghuan walked around a few times and finally stopped in front of a doll that she had noticed when she was outside the store.
The doll was in the form of a boy. Different from the other smiling dolls in the store, he had a straight face with the corners of his mouth slightly downturned, looking out of place among the rest.
He was wearing a little black suit with a cute little tie around his neck.
For some reason, even though the doll wasn't very delicate-looking, the more she looked at it, the more it reminded her of Leng Chuanjin.
She couldn't resist taking it off the shelf. The doll was small and fit perfectly in her arms.
After much thought, she finally couldn't resist the temptation and carried it to the checkout counter.
She originally wanted to pay for it herself since she intended to give this doll to her second brother. But then she found that the price of this doll was so high that she couldn't afford it at all. After all, she rarely asked her family for money. Since Philnos Academy provided free meals and she didn't go out much, she had few expenses and thus little savings.
Moreover, there were two sisters beside her vying to pay. She didn't even get a chance to take out her card.
Displeased that she had only chosen an "ugly" doll, Fu Moning and Fu Youqing picked out a few other small gifts for her. After paying, they had all the items directly packed and sent to the Leng family.
Only that doll was held tightly in her arms and she refused to let go.
After leaving the gift store, she was dragged by her sisters to the electronics section.
As soon as they entered the store, the clerk led them to a pre - arranged private room.
On the display stand in the private room were the top - of - the - line computers newly launched by various big brands this year. Even the internal chips and various configurations were custom - made by foreign factories.
There was a soft chair in front of each computer for customers to use.
Xia Sanghuan was pushed in front of the display stand. The clerk bowed respectfully to her, indicating that she could start the experience.
She sat on the chair and, with the clerk's service, started using the computers on the display stand one by one.
After experiencing all of them, Fu Youqing stood beside her and asked, "Huanhuan, which one do you like the most?"
Xia Sanghuan stared blankly at the pile of computers that looked almost identical. She didn't know how to choose.
Moreover, they all felt the same when she used them just now.
Seeing her hesitation, Fu Youqing turned to the clerk and said, "We'll take all of these. Later, you can just send them to the Leng family."
Xia Sanghuan was a bit at a loss for words regarding her sisters' "rich and willful" behavior.
But this time, her third sister didn't give her a chance to react. After giving instructions to the clerk, she grabbed her and walked out.
Ignoring Xia Sanghuan's endless chatter, they came directly to the clothing section, officially kicking off the main theme of the day.
The CJ family was a big and prosperous family. Just the clothing section occupied several large buildings, not to mention the brand - name chain stores lined up on the street.
The two sisters of the Fu family pulled their little sister inside and headed straight for the women's clothing section.
The autumn and winter clothing had just been put on the shelves recently, and they had caught a good opportunity.
Just like last time, they went directly to Fu Moning's private room. The latest styles of clothes were already hanging inside, and several of them were currently global limited - edition items.
The models were also dressed in the clothes and started the display. After the display was over, the sisters asked her which ones she liked.
She was a bit dazzled just by watching the catwalk, and now she couldn't make a choice.
Fortunately, her sisters were at the forefront of the fashion industry and could tell at a glance what style of clothes suited her.
Seeing that she couldn't choose, they helped her pick out a few first.
Fu Moning didn't even blink an eye when it came to the limited - edition items and directly stuffed them into her hands. Anyway, as long as she wanted, a special plane would immediately deliver more for her.
Xia Sanghuan had a well - proportioned figure and a delicate face. Wearing the new clothes, she was no less charming than any of the dolls they saw in the gift store, making people want to hold her in their arms.
Watching their sister come out of the fitting room one after another in a new set of clothes, Fu Moning and Fu Youqing took pictures with their mobile phones while thinking in their hearts that even if they had to work overtime for several days later, it was worth coming this time.
"How can my sister be so beautiful!"
Fu Youqing hugged Xia Sanghuan and rubbed against her while sincerely sighing. She really wished she could take her with her every day.
Before Xia Sanghuan came back, Fu Youqing had always been the youngest girl in the family and had never had the experience of being an elder sister. Now that she had finally found her sister, she wanted to spoil her to the sky.
After buying the clothes, it was almost dinner time. After learning that her sisters had already reserved a special seat in a high - end Western restaurant, she couldn't help but suspect that her sisters' arrangements along the way were deliberate and they didn't give her a chance to return to school at all.
Although Professor He had never called her, which meant there were no problems with the research, Xia Sanghuan still called him uneasily.
The phone rang only twice before it was answered, but it wasn't Professor He himself who answered the call.
"Hello, Sanghuan?"
Jiang Zimo's voice came from the other end of the phone.
As soon as she heard his voice, she thought something had happened to the professor, which was why he couldn't answer the phone.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Senior, is the professor beside you?"
"He's here. The professor is busy finishing today's research, so he asked me to answer the phone."
Hearing his answer, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Will you... be free tomorrow?"
"The research room feels, a bit strange without you."
Jiang Zimo stammered and whispered.
Not noticing the subtext in his words and thinking that the senior was gently reminding her, she quickly replied, "I'll be back tomorrow. Don't worry, senior."
"Since there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Goodbye, senior."
After she hung up the phone, Fu Youqing came over with a mischievous smile and asked, "Got a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Fu Moning beside her also became interested.
