Chapter 63 Shopping Mall Turbulence [VIP]
The rain was getting heavier, but it didn't affect Bai Qingying's good mood.
She thought she had solved a big problem, and the stone that had been hanging in her heart for more than ten years finally settled down a little.
Her pocket vibrated slightly, and she took out her cell phone. It was Gu Shaochen calling.
Bai Qingying's eyes lit up and she quickly swiped the answer button.
"Ying'er, where are you now?" Gu Shaochen's voice came through the microphone, low and steady. "Do you have an umbrella? I'll pick you up."
"I'm at the coffee shop near the central square." Bai Qingying said cheerfully, a charming smile on her face. "Shaochen, I have good news for you."
"Okay, just stand where you are and don't move. When I get the call, tell me what good news makes our Ying'er so excited." There was a hint of smile in his voice.
Bai Qingying agreed obediently. After about ten minutes, a black Maybach slowly stopped in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing Gu Shaochen's handsome face.
He simply said, "Get in the car first."
Bai Qingying opened the car door and got in. Gu Shaochen picked up the towel beside him and helped her wipe the water droplets on her hair.
"Little silly cat, it's raining so hard and you don't even bring an umbrella with you when you go out." His eyes were helpless, but his tone was full of doting.
Bai Qingying stuck out her tongue, hugged Gu Shaochen's arm, and clung to him like a spoiled child. "I was wrong. I have you—"
Gu Shaochen pecked her forehead gently and told the driver, "Go to the Marriott Mall."
The Marriott Shopping Mall is owned by the Gu family. Bai Qingying asked doubtfully, "Are you going to the Marriott to inspect the work?"
Gu Shaochen raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I bought you clothes, but didn't you notice that the hem of your skirt is wet? What if you catch a cold?"
Bai Qingying pursed her lips, but the corners of her lips were still curled up, "Shaochen, you are so good to me."
Gu Shaochen scratched her nose and said, "Silly girl, if it's not for you, who else can I be good to? You haven't told me the good news yet."
Bai Qingying's eyes sparkled. She leaned close to Gu Shaochen's ear and whispered, "Director Fang's assistant said the embryo has been successfully edited. As long as a suitable mother is found, the transplant surgery can be performed immediately!"
"Really?" The man was visibly excited. He grabbed Bai Qingying's hand and said, "We're going to have our own child soon! I'm going to be a father!"
Bai Qingying also smiled and nodded. She leaned in Gu Shaochen's arms, almost crying with joy: "Yes, we finally have a child."
Gu Shaochen gently kissed the top of her head. "I'll contact the assistant right away. The patient is already waiting at the hospital and can perform the surgery at any time. I'll send someone to transfer the fetus to the operating room right away."
"Hmm!" Bai Qingying closed her eyes, listening to his heartbeat getting faster and faster in her chest, and sighed with some regret, "I'm still quite satisfied with the girl I chose the first time. She's young, clean, and suitable to be a greenhouse for our son to grow up in."
Gu Shaochen smiled, "That's not bad either. He has a high level of education. Maybe our baby can even be a bit smart."
Bai Qingying pretended to be angry and pinched the arm of the person under her. She glared at him and said, "You say that because you think I'm stupid."
"How could that be?" Gu Shaochen smiled and said a few nice words, easily making the person happy.
After taking the elevator to the first floor, Gu Shaochen put his arm around her waist and walked into a high-end clothing store. The clerk immediately recognized Gu Shaochen and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Mr. Gu, welcome! Madam, you look so good today."
Gu Shaochen sat down on the sofa and nodded casually, "Take out all the clothes from the latest season."
The clerk bent down and nodded, and soon, rows of clothes were pushed in front of Bai Qingying. She was surrounded by the clerks and entered the VIP fitting room. The clerks held up one expensive dress after another and tried them on her.
"This one's perfect for Madam!" the store manager said excitedly, holding up a pearly white dress. "It's limited to ten pieces worldwide, and this is the only one we have in the store!"
Bai Qingying looked at herself in the mirror. The clothes were indeed stunningly beautiful, and the price was in line with her status. She nodded in satisfaction, and just as she was about to speak, a haughty voice came from behind her.
"That dress suits me, wrap it up."
Bai Qingying's brows suddenly frowned, and she turned around, and it was indeed the person she hated.
"Zhou Miaoting, I saw this dress first." She said unhappily, "Don't you understand the principle of first come first served?"
"So what? You should know yourself. How can you, a little illegitimate girl, wear the same high-end clothes as me? You won't be able to support them even if you buy them." Zhou Miaoting rolled her eyes and said sternly to the clerk beside her, "Didn't you hear what I said? Wrap up that thing she has in her hand and give it to me. I want it."
Bai Qingying's face changed. Zhou Miaoting, that bitch, relied on the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. She looked down on her and bullied her since she was a child, and often stole her things. The current situation was not uncommon in the past.
The store manager was very embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhou.
Zhou Miaoting suddenly raised her voice and became even more aggressive. "So what? She paid for it. Besides, I like this dress and I'm willing to pay double the price."
"Double?" Bai Qingying curled her lips. She picked up the dress and looked at her with disdain. "Zhou Miaoting, I won't let the clerk sell this dress to you today. Even if you offer ten times or a hundred times more, you can't have it. Oh, if you really want it, when I get tired of it and throw it in the trash can, you can bend down and pick it up and wear it."
Zhou Miaoting laughed in anger. She walked forward and grabbed Bai Qingying's face. "You're so arrogant! You tried to seduce my brother in the circle again, and now you're trying to frame me. It seems that the lesson I taught you that time wasn't enough."
Her eyes were sinister, exactly the same as when she tried desperately to hold herself in the water in her memory. Bai Qingying shuddered violently. She caught a glimpse of the man's figure out of the corner of her eye, and her face immediately changed to a pitiful expression.
As she slid down, Bai Qingying trembled slightly, her eyes were slightly red, she bit her lower lip and didn't say a word, she looked like she was about to cry.
Seeing that she remained silent, Zhou Miaoting patted her face and said with malicious pleasure: "Bai Qingying, your green tea tricks are useless to me. Don't treat people as fools. You don't think you can capture a man's heart with this method alone, do you? I'm just playing with you casually..."
"Let her go." A voice obviously filled with anger sounded in the fitting room. Gu Shaochen's face was terribly gloomy. He stepped forward and shook off Zhou Miaoting's hand.
"You!" Zhou Miaoting stumbled and almost fell to the ground. The assistant quickly supported her, "Gu Shaochen! How dare you push me!"
Gu Shaochen was too stingy to look at her. He held Bai Qingying's slightly red face in his hands and blew gently, "Ying'er, does it still hurt?"
"I...I'm not in pain." Bai Qingying shrank back and hid in Gu Shaochen's arms, wiping away her tears with grievance.
Gu Shaochen felt his heart tighten. He turned around to protect the person and looked at Zhou Miaoting with undisguised anger. "How dare you hit Ying'er? Do you think you can bully my people? Kneel down and apologize to Ying'er!"
Zhou Miaoting was so angry that she almost laughed. She pushed the assistant away and said, "Gu Shaochen, are you fucking blind? I never hit her! How could you not see through such a low-level trick?"
Gu Shaochen's expression grew even colder, and he looked at her with a cruel and vicious look. "What I saw with my own eyes, could it be fake? Apologize to Ying'er immediately, or I'll get your Zhou family out of City A!"
Zhou Miaoting gritted her teeth and said nothing.
She finally understood that Gu Shaochen was really blind and the rumors in the circle were all true!
She had previously thought that the news about Gu Shaochen being a dog was too exaggerated, but she didn't expect it to be a beautified version.
Where Gu Shaochen couldn't see, Bai Qingying responded with a provocative look, and Zhou Miaoting was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off.
Her eldest brother asked her to be more restrained yesterday. The Fu family has already taken action against them openly. If they offend another super wealthy family, the Gu family, the Zhou family may really be in danger!
Zhou Miaoting took a deep breath, said "I'm sorry" coldly, turned around and quickly left the fitting room.
A hint of joy flashed in Bai Qingying's eyes, and she hugged Gu Shaochen's arm tightly.
From now on, no one can bully or humiliate her. She will get back every bit of the cold stares and abuse she suffered in the past!
Zhou Miaoting was so angry that she pushed down several rows of clothes in the store and stomped on them hard.
The clerk stood there at a loss. The manager winked at her and held her down.
After Zhou Miaoting finished venting her anger, she took a few deep breaths. She threw a credit card to her assistant and said coldly, "Throw all this in the trash!"
The assistant bent down, took the card, and started communicating with the clerk.
Bai Qingying, the green tea girl, must have something to rely on for Gu Shaochen to protect her so much. She wants to see how Bai Qingying will stay in City A without this backer!
The ringing of the cell phone temporarily brought back some of her sanity. Zhou Miaoting took out her cell phone and saw that it was her elder brother Zhou Hanhai calling.
She exhaled, calmed her tone, and then answered the phone, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Zhou Hanhai's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Tingting, where are you? Something happened at home, big brother will pick you up right away!"
Zhou Miaoting's mind buzzed, she gave her address and hurried out of the mall.
After getting in the car, Zhou Miaoting grabbed Zhou Hanhai's hand, as if she had found her backbone, "What happened?"
Zhou Hanhai held her arm. "Something went wrong at the winery. The police found the operating room. Dad has been taken to the Public Security Bureau. The police are still looking for me, but you're fine! Tingting, you're innocent! When the time comes, you must firmly declare that you knew nothing about this. Remember that?"
Zhou Miaoting was so anxious that tears were about to come out, "Brother, brother, don't scare me! Why is it so serious?"
"Not only us, but also the Wei family, all were arrested together." Zhou Hanhai gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me know who leaked the information to the police... Tingting, I'm taking you to the villa in the south district now. Don't go out for the time being and stay out of the spotlight for a while."
Zhou Miaoting shook her head: "Brother, won't you go with me?"
"Brother can't hurt you." Zhou Hanhai held her in his arms and rubbed her head. "Brother has to find a way. Tingting, be good and wait for news from me at home."
Zhou Miaoting nodded vigorously, her hands at her sides clenched into fists.
