Everyone flocked over to visit Shi Jin. However, they were all blocked by Fu Xiuyuan. In short, Shi Jin had her own things to do and would not entertain anyone.

His attitude was very firm, and he gradually dispelled these people's thoughts.

The day was clear and bright. Shi Jin went to the Southern Courtyard to see Qiu Xingmi.

There were new servants in the Southern Courtyard now. The dispirited atmosphere from before had been swept away. The sunlight was gentler and brighter, shining diagonally in the courtyard.

Qiu Xingmi was on a video call with Fu Heyan.

"Mom, you really don't want me to return to Hong

Kong?" Fu Heyan said unhappily.

"You're already a mother, yet you're still throwing a tantrum. Your stomach is big now, so it's not convenient for you to run back and forth. I don't want to see you now because I'm afraid that I still have some sickness and I'll give it to you and the child. This is when a pregnant woman's immune system is at its weakest. It's not like you don't know."

"Alright, we'll talk about it afterwards then." Fu Heyan could only compromise.

She had sharp eyes saw Shi Jin enter from the corner of the videocall screen at a glance. She waved at her. "Shi Jin!"

Shi Jin walked over and asked with a smile, "How have you been recently? How are the regular checkups?"

"I'm doing very well every time. Look, the child is kicking me now," Fu Heyan said with a smile.

"Then rest well. I plan to go out with Mom."

"Where are you going?"

"Go out and buy beautiful clothes and eat delicious food!" Shi Jin glanced at Qiu Xingmi, who was moved. She really wanted to go out and shop.

Fu Heyan said enviously, "Unfortunately, I'm not around. Sigh, you guys really have to come back early. I'm suffocating."

"Alright, we'll be back soon." Qiu Xingmi hung up the video call first.

The worried look on her face had long been swept away. When she smiled, she was filled with gentleness. One could tell that she was beautiful and moving when she was young.

The new skin was very smooth, making her look even younger.

She was actually very straightforward. It was just that she had been suppressed by these things for so many years.

"Let's go to the mall and buy some clothes," Shi Jin suggested.

"Alright." Qiu Xingmi's eyes lit up.

Shi Jin got into the car with her. Qiu Xingmi looked at the streets and shops outside the window and said in a low voice, "This change is really huge.

"

When she lived in the Southern Courtyard, she was not completely isolated from the world. However, she was still out of this world after all. There were many things that she could only understand from her phone and computer. The feeling was completely different from going to the scene herself.

The expression on her face was like that of a child who had just experienced the world. It was filled with novelty and curiosity.

After getting out of the car, Shi Jin put on a mask. After all, she was a public figure and had always paid attention to her privacy.

Qiu Xingmi saw that she was wearing one and followed suit.

After entering the mall, she was clearly dazzled. Only then did she realize that the clothes she was wearing were indeed a little outdated.

"Shi Jin, am I dressing too ugly?" she asked as she looked at the display window.

"It's not ugly. It's just that you've lost weight and your skin has recovered. The clothes you wore in the past are no longer suitable. Just buy new ones today."

Shi Jin's words made Qiu Xingmi feel relieved and much more comfortable.

Shi Jin looked at her clothes. They were actually very tasteful. However, they were indeed old, which was why they looked out of place.

She looked around and said, "Mom, let's go take a look first."

"Yes." Qiu Xingmi held her hand and said with a smile, "You should buy more too. Girls must dress beautifully."

The two of them walked into a store and chose a few sets of clothes for each other before going in to try them on together.

After trying some clothes out, Shi Jin saw that Qiu Xingmi seemed to have become a different person. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Mom, you're really good-looking. Only now did I notice that Sister looks like you. Xiuyuan also looks like you."

"Really?" Qiu Xingmi said happily. "Do you think so too?

"I don't think so. It's the truth."

"You child." Qiu Xingmi patted the back of her hand happily. "Where did Xiuyuan get the good fortune to know you?"

The clothes they tried on were all very suitable. Shi Jin and Qiu Xingmi each changed into new clothes. They instructed the clerk to send the rest to their house and went to another store.

The purse that Qiu Xingmi used was very old and was a style from a long time ago. So the two of them entered a branded bag store together.

Qiu Xingmi was dazzled by this selection of purses. She felt that any one of them looked good.

Shi Jin gave her advice seriously and asked the clerk to take out everything she liked to try.

Jiang Yiqian was sitting in the lounge of the store.

She was there to buy a bag. As a VIP customer, she was drinking coffee as someone was introducing the new bag to her.

When she heard Shi Jin's voice, she looked over and saw that Shi Jin was wearing a new floral dress. It should be a new season design from a new brand. It was not far from the store next door and was expensive.

Jiang Yiqian had seen this long dress before, but she was short on money now.

If Jiang Yiqian bought the dress, she would not have the money to buy the bag. If she bought the bag, she would not have money to buy the dress. As a result, she could only come look at the bag first. Seeing Shi Jin spending money like water, Jiang Yiqian's heart was extremely sour, but she could only be helpless.

"Who's that person beside her?" Jiang Yiqian was a little puzzled.

"Mom, do you want to rest first before choosing?" Shi Jin asked.

"No need, I'm not tired at all." Qiu Xingmi was in a good mood and could not bear to rest at all. "This store's bags are not bad, and the clothes are actually quite nice. Why don't I try the clothes too?" Shi Jin had no objections and continued to choose with her.

On the other hand, when Jiang Yiqian heard Shi Jin address her, she confirmed that the person was Fu Xiuyuan's mother.

Jiang Yiqian thought to herself, "Qiu Xingmi really came out. I didn't expect her to recover from her illness, but it seems that even after she recovered, she can only live in the Southern Courtyard. Grandpa Fu didn't let her go back to live?"

Jiang Yiqian knew some of the past. Back then, Qiu Xingmi had been despised by Old Master Fu when she was sick. All these years, she had never been welcomed.

In that case, she did not have any respect for Qiu Xingmi.

The clerk serving her saw that her expression was not right and asked, "Miss Jiang, did those two people outside offend you?"

"Did you see that middle-aged woman? She has an infectious disease. Your store actually dares to entertain such people?"

The clerk was shocked. "There's such a thing?"

"I heard it too. Believe it or not. Xiaoli, it's not that I want to say this, but aren't you afraid of contracting an illness?" Jiang Yiqian wanted to cause some trouble for Shi Jin, but she was afraid and did not dare to go in person. She could only encourage this clerk.
