1290 You Gained A Free Dress (1/2)

The tumble caused both of them to fall like dominoes, one after the other.

Jiao Ziqing landed with her butt on the floor, but Yu Lili wasn't as fortunate. She had fallen with the force of her own weight, along with Jiao Ziqing's.

She was sent sprawling across the floor. And, the floor was covered in muddy water.

Many people looked over. When Jiao Ziqing saw what happened, she yelped out in shock, ”Lili!” She got up quickly and ran over to help Yu Lili up.

Nanny Zhang was in shock too. No one had expected something like that to happen. Since her hands were full with the bags of groceries, there was nothing she could do to help.

Yu Lili faced Jiao Ziqing. However, her eyes weren't on Jiao Ziqing. She was instead looking behind her.

The individual who had just given Jiao Ziqing a fright was hiding in the crowd looking over. When he sensed Yu Lili's eyes on him, he turned and ran away in fear.

At that moment, Yu Lili clearly saw what the person looked like. He was small in stature, and his clothing was nothing more than rags. No one stood close to him; everyone kept their distance in disdain. From the looks of it, he was a beggar.

Jiao Ziqing helped Yu Lili up and looked her over. She noticed a huge black stain on her front and asked, ”Are you hurt?”

Yu Lili shook her head and looked back at herself. She saw the mess she was in. With self-deprecating laughter, she commented, ”How unlucky I am?”

Jiao Ziqing didn't reply. She saw the looks from the bystanders around and pulled Yu Lili closer, remarking, ”I'd already fallen! Why did you still come over? Wasn't that stupid? It ended with the both of us falling. How embarrassing!”

As she spoke, she pulled Yu Lili along behind her as she walked out.

Yu Lili turned back to look at the mess that was left behind. All the groceries that had been in her hands were now squashed on the floor. ”What a waste.”
