### Chapter 131: Is Things About to Get Better?
With Xia Yu’s consent, Jiang Kekai and Xia Ling went full throttle on the shopping spree. Dresses, skirts, even pajama dresses—they had them all. Yes, for now, only Jiang Kekai knew her intention: she wanted to help Xia Yu create a wardrobe fit for a lady.
After all, isn’t a girl’s wardrobe incomplete without lots of dresses?
The two female salespeople were utterly stunned as they watched Jiang Kekai and Xia Ling at work. Oh my god, were these girls really going to buy this much? Was today their lucky day or what?
“Everything packed up, we’ll pay by card.”
Jiang Kekai thrust her card forward without hesitation, not giving Wang Wenjuan a moment to react.
Now Wang Wenjuan understood why her husband was always stressed. These outfits were pricey; every single piece was over a hundred dollars.
Plus, how could Jiang Kekai possibly buy so many pieces? The total sum would be enormous.
“Let’s move on, we’ll check out another store,” Jiang Kekai said as she loaded the clothes onto the little cart pushed by Zhao Wei.
“If you don’t mind, let’s look around some more,” Jiang Kekai suggested casually. She quickly wheeled Xia Yu away.
No one noticed Xia Yu’s increasingly pained expression and the furrowing of her brow.
Indeed, Xia Yu still wasn’t used to Jiang Kekai’s kindness, especially this unconditional kindness. Buying computers, dressing her in dresses—it made Xia Yu feel very guilty, even wondering if Jiang Kekai wanted something from her. But she was just a kid—what could she offer?
Although Xia Yu enjoyed free stuff before, like trading snacks, this was different. The bigger this “gift” became, the guiltier Xia Yu felt.
When they arrived at a lingerie store, Jiang Kekai picked out a cute girl’s set and asked Xia Yu if she liked it. Xia Yu noticed Xia Yu looked unhappy then.
“What’s wrong, Little Yu? Something bothering you?”
Wang Wenjuan, always playing background, was surprised when Jiang Kekai asked Xia Yu. Was Xia Yu having another episode?
She rushed over to Xia Yu’s side, making Xia Yu the center of attention once more.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu mustered her courage. She looked Jiang Kekai in the eye and asked somberly, “Why are you being so nice to me, Sister Xiao Ning? We haven’t known each other long. Are you after something? If so, I can give it to you.”
“Oh? You’re upset about this?”
“You asked a question, Sister Xiao Ning. Please answer it.”
Xia Yu glared sternly, looking both fierce and adorable.
Both Xia Ling and Wang Wenjuan were equally curious about Jiang Kekai. Why was she so nice to Xia Yu? Xia Yu pinched Xia Yu’s cute frowning face again.
“Well, sis likes you because you’re family. And if you need a reason, remember when we faced danger together? Sis has money, so naturally, she can be generous,” Jiang Kekai replied with a smile.
“Just like that?”
“Don’t be silly, honey. Did you think sis wanted anything else? Silly girl.”
Finishing with Xia Yu’s face, Jiang Kekai moved on.
Zhao Wei, the bodyguard, couldn’t help but smile at Jiang Kekai’s response. So did the lingerie shop staff. Jiang Kekai ignored them and continued asking Xia Yu about the underwear set.
“I like it,” Xia Yu mumbled incoherently, unsure how to refuse without upsetting Jiang Kekai.
Next came shoe shopping, because Jiang Kekai believed in doing things completely. With all the dresses and lingerie bought, there was no skipping shoes.
This scene dramatically changed Zhao Wei, Xia Ling, and Wang Wenjuan’s view of Jiang Kekai.
What did they see? Jiang Kekai, the dainty young lady herself, was picking shoes, even trying them on for Xia Yu! Can you believe it?
The mother, Wang Wenjuan, quickly stepped in, trying to relieve Jiang Kekai of this tiring job. Jiang Kekai politely declined.
“No, I’m fine. I’ll wait here until you return. There’s no problem, trust me.”
Seeing Jiang Kekai swap out shoes for Xia Yu, Wang Wenjuan just stood there awkwardly.
If Xia Yu didn’t have her psychological issues, perhaps she’d complain about such spoiling. But both Xia Yu and Jiang Kekai were off-limits topics now.
In a short while, Jiang Kekai found perfect blue-white sneakers for Xia Yu.
“How do they feel, Little Yu? Too small, too big, comfortable?”
“Yeah, fine.”
“Happy to hear that!”
Facing Xia Yu, Jiang Kekai then turned to the salesperson.
“Pack them up. We’ll pay everything together soon.”
This interaction had the salesperson smiling widely, probably expecting a huge bonus.
When the cart was full, Jiang Kekai sighed.
“This cart is too small. I’m not done yet.”
Xia Yu rolled her eyes, and everyone silently agreed.
Hours later, they finally settled with daily essentials and groceries, with Wang Wenjuan in charge.
Of course, Xia Yu needed to go back to the hospital. Yesterday’s surgery meant checking the wound for inflammation. If it was clear, she could get discharged.
Money could solve ninety-nine percent of problems. Money!
At the hospital, Jiang Kekai handed Xia Yu over to bed and then turned to Zhao Wei.
“Zhao Wei sister, could you please take the things I’ve bought to the dry cleaners? I trust your judgement.”
Jiang Kekai trusted no male bodyguards to handle her purchases with Xia Yu.
“But miss, your safety…”
“No worries, I’ll stay here and wait for you to return. There are enough guards outside.”
With Zhao Wei gone, an old man entered Xia Yu’s VIP room. Xia Yu remembered him—the grandpa who gave her the purple mosquito repellant bracelet.
His gaze softened, noting Xia Yu’s improved condition. No more cold expressions; she seemed more lively.
“So, Xiao Yu, long time no see. You’re growing prettier every day.”
Flattered but unsure, Xia Yu muttered: “Long time no see.”
This sign of improvement pleased the psychologist.
“Xiao Yu’s condition is under good control. If we keep it up, she should stabilize well.”
Hired specifically by Jiang Kekai’s father, he evaluated Xia Yu’s recovery from sudden breakdowns.
“It started suddenly, no one could reach her…”
“To truly manage her condition best, we need to minimize her distress triggers.”
The psychologist explained the treatment plan to Jiang Kekai, Xia Jing, and Wang Wenjuan—Xia Yu’s true family.
