Chapter 719: Chapter 713: Hit Someone
After they had finished eating, Qin Xue patted her stomach, satisfied. She had been so hungry earlier that she had lost her soul. If only the food wasn’t so difficult to take away, she would have liked to pack a portion to slowly enjoy later.
“Alright Xue’er, let’s go.” Chu Molin picked up his son and stood up.
“Okay.” Qin Xue didn’t object. It’s only natural to leave when you’ve finished eating, right? She didn’t see any reason to oppose that.
Xue Ling also got up. She was currently in a child’s body, so she had to act according to a child’s responsibilities. Otherwise, she would seem out of place.
After they paid the bill and left the offal restaurant, they headed for the local market. Qin Xue planned on making a side dish with pork belly, allowing them to benefit from the nutrition while enjoying the meal.
So as soon as they arrived at the market, Qin Xue headed straight for the meat stall.
“Boss, I’ll take 5 kg of this pork belly.” Qin Xue pointed at the not-so-fatty meat and said.
“5 kg? Are you sure?” The pork stall owner was surprised to get such a big order right off the bat.
“Absolutely sure. But you have to give me a discount, look at how much meat I’m buying.” Qin Xue looked at the meat. If it wasn’t lean enough, she wouldn’t want it. Overly fatty meat just wouldn’t taste good.
“Alright, rest assured, you’ll get a discount.” The owner looked at the handsome man and the beautiful woman, thinking what a perfect pair they made.
After the owner weighed the pork, he did indeed give Qin Xue a small discount. Although it wasn’t a substantial amount, it was better than no discount at all.
Qin Xue bought a few other items for appearance’s sake. She had produce at home from another source, so she planned to use those to cook. But not buying anything at all would raise suspicion. So this was the downside of not being completely open about certain things – every action was done nervously, warily, never straightforwardly.
“I’m sorry.” Qin Xue apologized immediately after bumping into someone. She didn’t expect to hit someone while turning around.
“Ah! Watch where you’re going!” Gu Beilin covered her injured arm and complained. This really was a stroke of bad luck, coming out only to experience such a thing.
“Miss, I’ve already apologized. Why are you still insulting me?” Qin Xue was speechless. She didn’t knock into her that hard. Sure, it wasn’t great, but she shouldn’t have been insulted for it. Still, the verbal abuse came her way.
“Oh, it’s you!” The two of them said simultaneously.
Gu Beilin didn’t expect the person who bumped into her to be Qin Xue, and Qin Xue certainly hadn’t expected to run into this lunatic.
“What are you doing here?” Gu Beilin didn’t expect to bump into someone she didn’t want to see while simply shopping with her mother.
“Why can’t I be here?” Qin Xue looked at Gu Beilin, amused. This wasn’t Gu Beilin’s private property. Why on earth couldn’t she, Qin Xue, be here? Ridiculous.
“This place isn’t for people in your income bracket.” Gu Beilin looked disdainfully at the vegetables in Qin Xue’s hand. This was a place for the affluent. It’s not a place for stray cats and dogs. This place was too good for people of her class, and she might dirty the pure luck.
In essence, Gu Beilin was looking down on Qin Xue. Back when they were in S Province, she thought Qin Xue was okay, since she was pregnant and she saw the man treated her well at the time. However, she had seen Qin Xue and the man together alone a few times. So what did she have to be arrogant about?
“Whether I can afford it is none of your business.” Qin Xue’s appearance here was just a coincidence.
