The military wife is pregnant and the tycoon, who has no heir, spoils her rotten.

Chapter 61 Shooting yourself in the foot
Lu Beiting glanced coldly at the two of them, and Xu Rufeng and Zhang Yi both shrank back.

"Hey, sister-in-law, you're awake!"

Zhang Yi, with his sharp eyes, noticed the commotion in the car and immediately spoke up.

Seeing that Xia Zhi was awake, Lu Beiting didn't say anything more. He kept his eyes on the two of them, thinking he would deal with them properly when they got back.

Lu Beiting brought Xia Zhi to the clothing store, and the two saw Zhang Xiao and his group as soon as they arrived.

"Xia Zhi, you're here to buy clothes too? Do you have any money? Do you want me to lend you some?" Zhang Xiao said with a smile as she looked at Xia Zhi as she entered.

After all, she probably doesn't have much money on her right now.

Xia Zhi stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, crossed her arms, and smiled at Zhang Xiao, "Okay, then Auntie, lend me a hundred yuan, thank you."

Zhang Xiao's face immediately turned ugly. She was just being polite, but Xia Zhi took it seriously, and what's more, she was asking for an exorbitant amount.

One hundred? Ha, she wouldn't lend her a single penny.

Zhang Xiaoquan pretended not to hear and prepared to turn around and find Hao Liping and the others.

She wanted to leave, but Xia Zhi wasn't about to let her go so easily.

Xia Zhi exclaimed in surprise as she watched Zhang Xiao turn to leave.

"Auntie, didn't you say you wanted to lend me money? Now that I've actually asked you, you're upset. Why pretend you don't have any money?"

In an instant, the eyes of the people around them couldn't help but turn towards them.

"Why borrow money if you don't have any? Just live your own life well."

"Exactly, judging by his appearance, he definitely doesn't have much money in his pocket."

Zhang Xiao was surprised by Xia Zhi's aggressive attitude and felt a little angry.

But these were, after all, his own words.

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be stubborn next time. After all, a hundred is not a small amount. It's understandable if you don't want to lend it to me."

Her words implied that she was faking it, and the surrounding chatter only added to the argument.

In a fit of anger, Zhang Xiao lowered her head and began rummaging through her bag.

"It's just a hundred, right? Here, take it. Just remember to pay me back later!"

Zhang Xiao wanted to throw the money at her but couldn't bear to, so in the end he could only hold back his anger and stuff it into her hand.

"Oh, thank you so much, Auntie. How about I pay you back after the banquet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiao wasn't so angry anymore. If the money was returned after the banquet, it meant that Xia Zhi really had no money left.

Hmph, you poor wretch.

"Okay, okay." Zhang Xiao put on a smile again and went to find Hao Liping.

Xia Zhi glanced at the ten ten-yuan bills in her hand, raised her eyebrows smugly, and waited to see the show.

Lu Beiting, standing beside her, smiled as he looked at her clever little face.

"go in."

Xia Zhi packed the money and pushed him inside.

"Hey boss, this set is fifty-eight? Can you lower the price a bit?"

Hao Liping looked at the red top in front of her, with a pearl belt at the waist and a red skirt with a wavy hem; she thought it was beautiful no matter how she looked at it.

The woman wearing reading glasses, who was drawing on the wooden cabinet, looked up and said calmly, "Prices are clearly marked, no bargaining."

Hao Liping touched it with obvious affection, "Okay, then let's buy this set."

Gu Yun Shen originally wanted to say that the 38-piece set was also quite nice, but then he caught sight of Lu Bei Ting and Xia Zhi out of the corner of his eye.

"Liping, buy it if you like it. I'll buy you something even better when I make a lot of money later."

"Thank you, Brother Yun Shen, you're so kind. I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Hao Liping said, glancing at Xia Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Yun Shen hugged her, "That's right, I only spend my money on the person I love."

Unlike Xia Zhi, he hadn't spent a single penny on her all these years. Xia Zhi chuckled. His money? What money could someone who spends all his time studying at home have?

"Aunt Qian."

Lu Beiting called out, and the woman behind the counter looked up, adjusted her reading glasses, and quickly came out after recognizing who it was.

"Oh dear, Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Huaixiang felt a pang of heartache looking at Lu Beiting sitting in a wheelchair.

"Aunt Qian, I'm fine, it's just a minor injury, it'll be fine in a while."

I came to see you today because I wanted you to make an outfit for my wife for our wedding.

Qian Huaixiang squinted at the woman next to her, and her eyes lit up when she saw the clothes the woman was wearing.

It turns out these clothes were for this little girl.

Xia Zhi looked at Qian Huaixiang, who was in her forties, and politely greeted her, "Hello, Aunt Qian."

"Alright, alright, this child is finally getting married. That's good news, that's great news."

Qian Huaixiang pulled Xia Zhi's hand and led her to sit down. "Child, tell Auntie, what kind of girl do you like?"

Xia Zhi glanced at the clothes in the store; they were all very nice, simple yet elegant.

Xia Zhi honestly replied, "I like everything Aunt Qian makes."

The clothes from this era are really beautiful, always with a retro feel, and she likes them a lot.

Qian Huaixiang laughed out loud, "Oh my, look how sweet your little mouth is, it's like it's been coated with honey. Okay, I'll take care of it."

As she spoke, she got up to get her sketchbook from the table and handed it to Xia Zhi, "Kid, take a look and see if there's anything you like. Auntie just drew them all. I'll measure them for you later."

Xia Zhi took the sketches with both hands and began to examine them carefully. Aunt Qian's drawings were very fashionable, unlike anything one would expect from someone from such a small place.

Xia Zhi found a few pictures she liked and handed them to Lu Beiting, asking, "Which one do you think is the best?"

Lu Beiting took her hand and moved closer to her.

The strong scent of soapberry wafted over, and Xia Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She looked at the top of his head, then focused her gaze on the notebook.

The two people who were showing off nearby saw this scene and their smiles instantly vanished.

Hao Liping suddenly felt that the clothes in her hands no longer smelled good.

"Brother Yun Shen, I also want one custom-made." Hao Liping grabbed Gu Yun Shen's hand and shook it a few times.

Gu Yun Shen frowned slightly. "I'll go ask."

After all, with limited funds, you can't just buy whatever you want.

"Hello, boss, how much does it cost for a custom-made item?"

Qian Huaixiang glanced at Gu Yunshen, "It ranges from 100 to 300, depending on the style."

"Thank you, thank you." Gu Yunshen forced a smile, then turned around awkwardly to find Hao Liping.

This is too expensive.

Hao Liping asked happily when she saw him return, "How was it, Brother Yun Shen?"

"Outrageous! I asked, and the custom-made ones are too expensive, around one hundred to three hundred. That's too expensive. Let's just take this set; there's nothing wrong with it."

Gu Yunshen frowned. He hadn't expected Lu Beiting to be so willing to spend money on Xia Zhi.

"Won't we be outdone then? No way, I want a custom-made one too!"

Hao Liping clenched her fists tightly, looking at Xia Zhi sitting not far away with resentment. In her previous life, she was not as good as Xia Zhi.

Even though she had already taken Gu Yun Shen in this life, why is it still like this...?

Zhang Xiao was the first to object. She had just been tricked out of 100 yuan by Xia Zhi, and now she didn't have that much money left.
