"What’s gotten into them all of a sudden?"

Watching Ren Hui and Li Cui leave the classroom, Qin Sitong had a feeling their invitation was anything but well-intentioned.

"Don’t worry about them. They can extend their invitation, but we don’t have to accept.

"You live in the dorms, so they might harass you when you get back. Why don’t you stay at Jade Lake for the time being?"

’Anyway, there’s a room prepared for Qin Sitong at Jade Lake. When we have class, she can just ride with me to school, since our schedules are identical.’

"It’s fine. It’s not like they can tie me up and drag me there if I refuse."

Qin Sitong highly doubted Ren Hui and Li Cui had the guts for that.

"Who knows what tricks they’ll pull to get what they want? It’s better to be careful."

’In the dorm, Qin Sitong would have to be on guard against two people all by herself. Yun Zijin was genuinely afraid that Qin Sitong would fall for their scheme.’

’If they succeeded and something irreversible happened, it would be too late for regrets.’

"You’re staying with me at Jade Lake this whole week. I’ll have someone investigate what their real motive is. You can go back to the dorm once the matter is resolved."

Yun Zijin’s tone left no room for argument. Qin Sitong wanted to refuse but couldn’t find a reason, so in the end, she could only nod in agreement.

"Then you’d better find out quickly."

Constantly staying at Yun Zijin’s house made Qin Sitong feel like she was taking advantage, which left her feeling unsettled.

From Yun Zijin’s perspective, she wouldn’t have minded at all if Qin Sitong stayed at Jade Lake permanently.

But Yun Zijin knew that Qin Sitong herself wouldn’t want to take such advantage of her. And if she were to ask for rent at the market rate, Qin Sitong wouldn’t be able to afford it given her financial situation.

Thus, Yun Zijin could only resolve to uncover the motives of Ren Hui and her friend as quickly as possible and nip the potential threat in the bud.

Only then could Yun Zijin feel at ease letting Qin Sitong move back into the dorm.

In any case, Qin Sitong had to go back to Jade Lake with Yun Zijin today; they still needed to pick out their formal dresses for Saturday.

Qin Sitong followed Yun Zijin into the car, and Zero One closed the door behind them. The vehicle slowly pulled away, gradually picking up speed.

"You know, for some reason, I feel like this car is even more comfortable than your Rolls-Royce."

As soon as Qin Sitong got into Yun Zijin’s Randomly Spend van and settled into her seat, she felt it was even more comfortable than the previous Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Moreover, the interior space was just as large as the Phantom’s, if not larger.

Qin Sitong didn’t know much about cars, but she had been thinking about buying a daily driver recently, so she had looked into a few brands.

As she got in, she had glanced at the car’s emblem and was sure it wasn’t from any brand she had ever seen before.

"It’s custom-made. But don’t worry, it’s completely street-legal. All the paperwork is in order."

Yun Zijin quickly explained, afraid Qin Sitong might think it was some sort of illegal vehicle.

’Since Randomly Spend was bold enough to give her a car as a reward, they wouldn’t give her one she could only look at but not drive. Otherwise, the reward would just be a decoration for the garage.’

’Besides, whenever anyone asked about a Randomly Spend product, the standard answer was always ’it’s custom-made’.’

’If someone were to get serious and actually investigate the supposed custom manufacturer, Yun Zijin was confident that Randomly Spend had already prepared for every contingency.’

"Ah! I guess it’s true what they say—poverty really does limit one’s imagination."

Hearing it was custom-made, Qin Sitong couldn’t resist teasing her.

"It’s all right. You’re working hard to climb the ladder, aren’t you? One day, you’ll be able to do this too."

’If Qin Sitong still managed to fail even with her full support, then Yun Zijin would have to start doubting whether her friend was truly suited for business.’

’But that was just a passing thought. The actual outcome would depend on how the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop performed from here on out.’

Qin Sitong smiled. She didn’t think she had any great talent for business, but she knew that as long as she ran it with integrity, the Wangyou Milk Tea alone would be enough to keep the Wangyou Milk Tea Shop from ever going out of business.

The car slowly pulled into Jade Lake. Ling Qi drove right up to the entrance of Yun Zijin’s building, where Zero One opened the door for Yun Zijin and Qin Sitong to get out.

After they got out, Yun Zijin led Qin Sitong straight to her floor, pulling her right into her walk-in closet.

"This section is for casual clothes, this is for formal dresses, over here are shoes, and this part is for watches, jewelry, and so on. Choose whatever you like."

Yun Zijin herself wasn’t in a rush. She could just pick out any outfit and it would fit her perfectly, so there was never an issue with ill-fitting clothes.

Qin Sitong ignored the casual clothes and focused on the section with formal dresses.

She had to admit, Yun Zijin had impeccable taste. Qin Sitong’s head was spinning from all the options, and she couldn’t pick a favorite.

In the end, she pulled out two dresses and asked Yun Zijin to help her choose.

"It’s down to these two. Which one do you think is better?" Qin Sitong held up a white dress and a light-green one, both of which had very simple designs that also matched her personality.

"Just take both. If something unexpected happens, you’ll have a backup."

Both dresses had been in the walk-in closet for a long time; Yun Zijin had bought them, and they had been collecting dust ever since. The fact that Qin Sitong had chosen them now meant she had probably dug them out of some forgotten corner of the room.

However, even though the dresses had been collecting dust, their designs were still excellent.

"Go try them on. I’ll have someone come over and see what needs to be altered."

Afraid her own eye wasn’t sharp enough, Yun Zijin planned to have a professional take a look.

The staff from the boutique would have to take the dresses back for alterations anyway.

Qin Sitong took the white dress into a specially designed fitting room inside the walk-in closet.

Once Qin Sitong had gone in, Yun Zijin found the contact information for the boutique where she’d bought the two dresses and told them to get to Jade Lake in the shortest time possible.

Yun Zijin was a VIP client for this brand, so with a single phone call, the brand immediately sent over a professional who specialized in taking measurements.

Qin Sitong tried on both dresses. At first glance, they seemed to fit, but upon closer inspection, she could see that the waist was clearly a bit too tight.

"Did I gain weight? Don’t tell me the Baonu Tea I’ve been drinking isn’t working."

Qin Sitong stared at her waist, her brow furrowed in thought.

"I doubt it. Your frame is a bit wider than mine to begin with, so this is normal. Don’t worry, it can all be altered. Your only job is to look beautiful."

As for everything else, Yun Zijin would have it all taken care of.

"I’m going to take it off before I rip it."

’You can’t expect a delicate dress like this to be very sturdy; one wrong move and it’s ruined.’

Yun Zijin had no objection, leaving the decision to Qin Sitong.

’Besides, even if these two were gone, there were plenty of others. If there was one thing she didn’t lack, it was clothes.’

The representative from the brand arrived at Jade Lake 40 minutes later. The staff at the guardhouse called Yun Zijin for confirmation before letting the person into the residential community.

It took another 10 minutes for them to drive from the community gate to the front of the house.

"Hello, Miss Yun. I’m Lillian."

"Hello. She’s in the walk-in closet. I need you to take her measurements, and then take two formal dresses back to be altered to her size. Can you have them finished and sent back by Friday?"
