The press conference for the premiere of “The Way of Chivalry” will be held in City B. Jiang Rui needs to make some preparations before leaving.

First of all, she needs two affordable clothes, a pair of suitable shoes, and some cosmetics. After arriving in City B, she needs to save some money to rent a house — she doesn’t plan to return to the film and television city in the short term. The house is about to expire, so there is no need to worry about renewing the lease.

Every plan is an expense and after counting Xia Xiaoyou’s property and her own income in the past few months, she found that there is only one word to describe the current situation, and that is poverty.

Xia Xiaoyou did not have much savings. When she and Joey were together, Joey was in charge of the money. After the two broke up, Joey left cleanly without mentioning money. Xia Xiaoyou only had a few thousand yuan on hand. The money, plus Jiang Rui’s recent earnings, was less than ten thousand.

She checked the rent in City B on the Internet and set aside 4,000 yuan in her hand as the two-month rent at that time. When “The Way of Chivalry” is released, two months at the latest, there should be jobs coming.

She went to the mall again and bought some mid-range cosmetics and a pair of good-quality high-heeled sandals, which cost more than 2,000 yuan.

She also went to the women’s clothing section to see it, and in the end, she did not buy anything because a slightly better dress would cost at least several thousand, which was far beyond her budget.

After she came out of the shopping mall, she went straight to the old market, spent nearly a thousand yuan, and bought a few pieces of high-quality fabrics, planning to resume her old business and make clothes by herself.

In the next few days, she stopped going to the studio to pick up jobs but was locked in the house.

Three days before the press conference, Xiao Chen sent her WeChat: “Xiao Xia, have you come to City B?”

“Not yet, Brother Xiao Chen. I bought a train ticket for tomorrow night and I can arrive the next morning.” Jiang Rui replied to him.

“Then, how are you preparing?”

Jiang Rui sent him a round and aggrieved expression and did not hide her embarrassment: “The clothes are too expensive and I can’t afford to buy them. I made two of them myself. I hope I won’t embarrass Director Wang by then.”

“Do it yourself?!!!” Xiao Chen sent out several exclamation marks and then said: “Open my eyes quickly, I’m so curious.”

Jiang Rui changed into a ready-made dress and took a photo.

This body is young, only in her early twenties, and her face still has the roundness of a girl. The originally slightly yellowish skin has become rosy after being nourished by Jiang Rui for several months and the whole person is pink and tender. Yes, it is suitable to take a pure and lovely route at first glance.

Jiang Rui specially chose a piece of material with red cherries printed on a white background and made it into a waist-ruffled skirt. After putting it on, she looked more youthful. With her smiling face, it brought a few traces of pure sweetness.

As soon as Xiao Chen saw the photo, he took a deep breath and sent out several voices: “Xiao Xia, you can do it. I can’t imagine that you can hide such good craftsmanship!”

“If you don’t talk about this dress, I can’t tell that you made it yourself.”

“I think your face looks better recently than before. Come on, keep this state!”

Jiang Rui sent a shy expression, “Brother Xiao Chen has won the prize, saying that the craftsmanship is not considered, that is because I have made clothes for children before.”

No wonder, Xiao Chen said in his heart. Otherwise, he would be surprised, how could a girl who is not a fashion major know how to make clothes? It turned out to be for the children in the orphanage.

He could not help but run to gossip with Shen Yuchuan again: “Look, Brother Shen, Xiao Xia can also make clothes. She is too amazing.”

Shen Yuchuan was reading a book with his glasses on, took a moment to glance at it, and did not say anything.

“No wonder people say that the eighteenth woman has changed. We haven’t seen Xiao Xia for more than two months, right? I think she is more beautiful than before.”

Xiao Chen said a few words, put the matter aside, and turned to the recent entertainment news.

After a while, Shen Yuchuan suddenly asked: “What ticket number does she order?”

“Ah? Brother Shen, you ask Gu Ning? Didn’t I just say, he returned to China yesterday?”

Shen Yuchuan put down the book and looked at him a few times. For a second, Xiao Chen was puzzled, but then he saw Shen Yuchuan take his mobile phone and clicked on the chat history by himself.

This time, Xiao Chen watched him operate and saw what he saw with his own eyes. After a while, he asked him cautiously: “Brother Shen, why are you so concerned about Xiao Xia?”

“Yes?” Shen Yuchuan asked faintly: “It’s not you who pay attention to her? Don’t be too sensitive.”

He returned the phone and patted Xiao Chen on the chest.

Xiao Chen clutched his chest, turned his back, and whispered, “Don’t be too sensitive… If it is really my illusion, I’ll eat my whole house of wives!”
