"Why? Why does even Xiao Yuan have a girlfriend?" Leng's mother muttered to herself as she walked.

"Mom~" Leng Yue said helplessly, "Yao Yuan isn't young anymore, it's normal for him to have a girlfriend!"

Mother Leng gave Leng Yue a meaningful look. "You don't understand."

"Okay, okay, I don't understand, alright? But can you please stop being angry?" Leng Yue tugged at her mother's hand. "Let's go into the mall first."

"Honestly, none of you can give me a moment's peace." Leng's mother was still angry, but she didn't say exactly what she was angry about. Although Leng Yue probably knew something, she wouldn't point it out.

"Mom, how about I buy you a mink coat?" Leng Yue pulled her mother to a store that sells mink coats.

"No, it doesn't look good on me. Don't make me look like a bear," said Mother Leng disdainfully, while her hands continued to stroke it.

Leng Yue smiled and said, "Mom, go try it on. If it looks good, your daughter will buy it for you."

The original owner was very filial, but due to her special constitution, she rarely went shopping with her mother, Leng, and would never proactively buy her anything. Every time the original owner went shopping, it was like a battle. She would come and go in a hurry, constantly dodging crowds.

In the words of Leng's mother, every time she went shopping with the original owner, it was like playing hide-and-seek, and she couldn't enjoy shopping properly at all.

This is the first time Leng Yue has accompanied her mother to carefully select clothes since she fell ill.

"Is it okay? Will it look bad on me?" Mrs. Leng asked, but she was looking at the saleswoman expectantly.

The saleswoman was quick to understand and immediately said with a smile, "Auntie, how could it not fit? Please wait here, I'll get you a suitable size."

While searching for clothing sizes, the saleswoman chatted with the elderly woman, "Auntie, is this beautiful lady your daughter? She's so filial. These days, young girls rarely accompany their parents shopping. You're so lucky!"

"What good fortune? She's just a good girl, but she's so old and doesn't even have a boyfriend. It's really worrying me!" The shop assistant seemed to have hit a nerve and started chatting with her.

The saleswoman found a suitable dress and handed it to Mrs. Leng. "Look at what you're saying, how could your daughter, who is so beautiful, not have a boyfriend? Maybe she does but doesn't want to tell you! Okay, go try it on, I'll take you to the fitting room now."

Leng's mother followed the shop assistant into the fitting room, while Leng Yue, carrying her things and bag, waited idly outside. Watching the people coming and going outside, Leng Yue thought of Qian Chen again, wondering what Qian Chen's identity would be this time.

The cold-faced woman came out quickly, and the shop assistant kept praising how beautiful it looked.

"Auntie, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit! You exude elegance!" The saleswoman was so eager to sell the clothes that she kept praising the mother, making her almost embarrassed.

Mother Leng approached Leng Yue shyly, "How was it?"

Leng Yue looked at it carefully for a moment, "Hmm, it's quite beautiful, it definitely has a noblewoman's air about it!"

"Isn't this too flashy? How can I do housework while wearing this?" Mrs. Leng was still hesitant.

"Why would you do any housework while wearing this? You're like a queen! All you have to do is point out the river!" Leng Yue flattered, making Leng's mother laugh heartily.

"How much?" Leng Yue took out her bank card and asked the clerk. At this moment, Leng Yue felt like a domineering CEO.

The saleswoman's eyes lit up when she saw Leng Yue pull out her bank card. She became even more enthusiastic, "Hello, this dress is on sale right now, this is the price after the discount."

The shop assistant took out a calculator and tapped it a few times. Leng Yue glanced at it; it was a little over ten thousand, which was barely acceptable, so she gritted her teeth and swiped her card.

"Mom, why don't we just wear it home?" Leng Yue asked before the shop assistant could wrap it up, seeing that her mother was reluctant to take it off.

Mother Leng shook her head, "No need, no need, it wouldn't be good to break it."

When the two left, the shop assistant kindly saw them out of the store.

After walking quite a distance, Leng's mother finally remembered to ask Leng Yue, "How much did this mink cost?"

Leng Yue didn't answer, but simply said, "As long as you're dressed well, don't worry about the price. Your daughter has money!"

"Really?" Mother Leng looked at Leng Yue suspiciously, then smiled after a while. "Then Mother won't stand on ceremony."

After that, Leng's mother kept saying that they needed to hurry because Zihao was going home, while happily shopping. Leng Yue followed along carrying the bags the whole time.

It took two whole hours before Ms. Leng reluctantly prepared to go home. Both of them were carrying heavy bags, and squeezing onto the subway would be too inconvenient. So, they took a taxi home.

On the way back, Leng's mother still said with lingering joy, "Yueyue, I haven't been this happy in a long time. Today's shopping was so satisfying!"

Leng Yue was speechless. No wonder everyone says shopping sprees are a woman's best medicine. Now it seems it really is true! Just a moment ago, Leng's mother looked worried and preoccupied. But after one shopping trip, she's completely recharged and radiant. She even looks more energetic than Leng Yue, a young woman herself—it's unbelievable!

It seems that women of all ages have no resistance to shopping!

As the taxi passed the section of road where Tang Liangfeng had been in a car accident, Leng Yue subconsciously glanced at the roadside. She saw nothing, and somewhat disappointed, she looked away. But then, in the rearview mirror, she saw the driver's face had changed to Tang Liangfeng's.

Leng Yue was startled, but quickly regained her composure. Pretending not to have noticed anything, she subtly withdrew her gaze, continuing to look out the window at the scenery, casually chatting with her mother. But in her mind, she was trying to connect with Zero.

"What's going on?" Ling had just finished talking with Xiao Mei when she received Leng Yue's distress signal.

"Quickly help me confirm whether the driver in front is possessed by Tang Liangfeng?" Leng Yue quickly explained the situation.

Zero put on his glasses and, after careful examination, told Leng Yue, "No, Yueyue, are you hallucinating because you're too nervous?"

Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt something was off. "I clearly saw the driver's face overlap with Tang Liangfeng's just now. How could I have been mistaken?"

Leng Yue rubbed her eyes as she spoke, then looked at the driver more closely. This time, she only saw the driver's face. "Phew, thank goodness I didn't act impulsively, otherwise people would definitely think I'm having a mental breakdown!"

"Yueyue, don't be too nervous, I'm here for you." Ling was exceptionally understanding.

Leng Yue felt very gratified. "Ling, you've really grown a lot!"

"Of course! You know, being in love makes you more mature," Zero replied with particular pride. "Otherwise, how can you get along with your girlfriend?"

"Hmm, that makes sense," Leng Yue thought to herself. It seems that not stopping Zero from dating early did have some benefits. Just as Zero herself said, it did become more mature because of dating.
