Chapter 504: A Chance Meeting, Part 1

She had also asked around and people told her that he had something on in the afternoon and wouldn’t be coming back to the office.

Charlene was very disappointed. She was listless and distracted the whole afternoon. Xiaoyu called out to her a few times before she snapped out of her daze.

“Charlene, are you okay? You don’t look well.” Xiaoyu asked with concern.

“I’m fine. Maybe because I didn’t sleep well last night.” Charlene shook her head.

Suddenly, Charlene’s tone changed. “Xiaoyu, have you met CEO Gu’s fiancée?”

“CEO Gu’s fiancée? Are you referring to the supermodel, Tong Fei?” Xiaoyu asked.

“Supermodel?” Why was Xiaoyu’s description of Gu Shaoting’s fiancée so different from Mr. Zhang’s?

The fiancée Mr. Zhang described was a woman who enjoyed staying at home and running the family, nothing close to a supermodel.

“Yup. CEO Gu had a supermodel fiancée, but there’s news that they’ve broken up, but I don’t know if it’s fake news.”

Xiaoyu felt that life as a celebrity was hard as they had absolutely no privacy.

Charlene felt like she was on an emotional roller coaster as she tried to figure out what was going on.

“If she’s CEO Gu’s fiancée, she probably comes here quite often and you guys would know if they’ve broken up.” Charlene suddenly felt that Mr. Zhang had duped her.

But he didn’t need to do that, right? She couldn’t figure it out.

The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she got. Things were much more complicated than she had imagined.

Never mind. She would stop thinking about it for now and go out and relax tonight.

“Xiaoyu, are you busy after work?” Charlene asked.

“No, I’m going straight home.” Xiaoyu’s family wasn’t from Bin City. She lived alone and spent her afterwork hours alone too.

“I just arrived here and not familiar with Bin City. Would you like to go shopping with me after work?” Charlene said.

“Sure,” Xiaoyu readily agreed.

After work, the two of them went straight to the largest shopping mall in Bin City.

The mall was crowded and there was a dazzling array of goods. When Charlene shopped, she’d just pick the best brands and buy whatever she wanted.

She didn’t care about the price. She only cared about whether she liked the item. Xiaoyu’s heart palpitated when she saw Charlene’s behavior.

Nouveau riche. Charlene was one of them.

The two of them walked around for a bit, picking up items as they went, until their hands were full with shopping.

They were all Charlene’s shopping.

“Charlene, I think it’s time to wrap up.” Xiaoyu was worried that they wouldn’t be able to carry all her shopping home.

“Don’t worry, soon.” Charlene was looking for brands that were more suited for middle-aged people.

Although Brother Gu said that she didn’t have to visit his mother, she must mind her manner. She’d get his mother a gift so she’d be ready to visit her whenever the opportunity came up.

The boutique they walked into specialized in clothing for the middle-aged. It was a very famous brand.

Even if Charlene seldom bought such clothes, she had heard of the brand.

There were a few customers browsing in the boutique. One could tell from the way they dressed that they were all rich wives. Each of them had remarkable demeanor.

Charlene finally had her eye on a shawl.

As she did not know Mrs. Gu’s height and weight, and whether she was thin or fat, she couldn’t buy her clothes.

A shawl was a better and more practical choice.

Just as Charlene was about to call the sales assistant to show her the shawl, the changing room door opened.

An elegant and noble lady happened to be trying on the same shawl.

When Charlene saw her, she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart that the shawl really suited the lady. Whether the style or color, the shawl made her look extremely noble and elegant.

Charlene couldn’t help but say out loud, “Madam, this shawl really suits you. I’m going to get the same one as a gift for someone.”
