Pei's mother said, "I was thinking, there probably isn't any woman who could resist a handbag, so I took it upon myself to buy you one. Most of their bags look pretty much the same, but the designs are classic and never go out of style, even after decades. I asked the saleslady, and she said this color is trending this year. I figured you girls like trendy stuff, so I just got it for you. Not sure if you'll actually like it."
There was a hint of uncertainty in Pei's mother's tone, but Pei Ziyu didn't give it much thought and had Mei Mengzhen open it right then and there.
Mei Mengzhen obediently opened it as she was told.

"Thank you, Auntie Pei. I really like it. The color's beautiful."
Hearing Mei Mengzhen's response, Pei's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as you like it, that's great."
