Chapter 111 Is it made of gold?

Seeing that she was in good spirits, Chen Fangyang regained his trust in her.

He lowered his outstretched hand and beckoned the two to follow behind him.

"Let's go. It's a rare opportunity to come to the capital. I'll take you to try some local delicacies, and then we'll stroll around the area."

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to visit the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, and other museums... then we'll go see a performance... and then we'll go to the Great Wall..."

Half an hour later, the three of them appeared at a breakfast shop, where a bowl of soy milk and fried dough sticks were placed on the table in front of them.

Chen Fangyang scooped up a spoonful of soy milk, "Let me try this soy milk and see what it tastes like..."

He took a bite, then immediately spat it out, frowning as he stared at the full bowl in front of him.

"Isn't this supposed to be authentic local cuisine? How come it tastes so awful?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiannan also scooped up a spoonful, swallowed it, and then spat it out.

Shen Xuewei glanced at the two of them, took a sip, and then swallowed it with a distorted expression.

"Maybe we shouldn't drink it, this stuff really doesn't suit our taste..."

As soon as Chen Fangyang finished speaking, the two old men suddenly stood beside the three of them.

"Don't just try a sip and then refuse to drink it. That's such a waste of food. Soy milk isn't bad. You'll get used to the taste."

"Yes, if you have a few more sips, you might just start to like it. Everyone has a first time, and you're all young, you should be brave enough to try..."

"That's right, try it again, it's not bad..."

The two men tried to persuade the three of them, one after the other. Chen Fangyang and Zhao Xiannan exchanged a glance, then forced themselves to take another sip and swallow it.

After taking the first sip, Shen Xuewei vowed never to take a second sip.

The two old men were chattering away, but she pretended not to hear a word they were saying.

Chen Fangyang and Zhao Xiannan frowned and took another sip, this time refusing to drink any more.

The two old men, having probably seen enough of the spectacle, turned and leisurely walked away.

The three of them had breakfast, found out where the largest shopping mall in the vicinity was, hailed a taxi, and headed towards the mall.

Upon entering the mall, the three of them strolled through floor after floor, dazzled by the variety of shops.

Chen Fangyang bought two outfits for himself, and also bought one for Shen Xuewei and one for Zhao Xiannan, before continuing to browse in the mall.

Passing by a shop, Chen Fangyang couldn't resist going inside after seeing the bags and clothes inside.

Shen Xuewei stood at the door and looked up at the shop sign.

A simple yet sophisticated Gio Armani logo comes into view.

Yes, it's a well-known brand. Her second uncle has really made it big; he's willing to buy such expensive clothes.

Chen Fangyang, whom Shen Xuewei considered successful, stood in front of a cashmere coat priced at 34,500 yuan, which the sales assistant was introducing, and remained silent for a long time.

The sales assistant was very patient; even though she sensed he was unlikely to buy the clothes, her smile remained polite.

Chen Fang raised his hand and pointed to a black dress on the side.

"Forget it, I don't really like this dress either, and it's not even in season yet. There's nothing else I like in this store, so I'll just buy a dress for my wife instead."

"How much is this dress? Wrap it up for me."

The sales assistant's smile remained unchanged; she simply politely quoted the price of the dress.

"Sir, this dress costs 16,800 yuan. What size do you need? I'll get it for you."

Chen Fangyang's lips twitched. This plain, tattered dress actually cost him more than ten thousand yuan. Was it made of gold?

At this moment, Zhao Xiannan came over, glanced at the dress, and said with surprise and delight:

"Uncle Yang, I didn't expect you to think of buying a dress for my mom while we're out having fun. My mom will be so happy to know."

Chen Fangyang's heart ached, but he forced a smile and said, "That's right, I bought it especially for your mother."

He turned to look at the sales assistant, closed his eyes briefly, and said, "Come on, help me wrap up this dress."

It's alright. Although it cost over ten thousand, he'll be able to coax tens of thousands of yuan out of Fang'er after he gives her the dress...

Carrying the bag, Chen Fangyang quickened his pace as he walked out of the shop.

Shen Xuewei glanced at Chen Fangyang's expression and knew he was distressed. She asked with some curiosity:

"Second Uncle, what did you buy? Was it expensive?"

Chen Fangyang pushed her face away expressionlessly. "It's very expensive, more expensive than the three of us staying in a hotel for five days combined."

A night at that hotel only costs around 700 yuan, so five days would only cost a little over 10,000 yuan.

And this dress cost several thousand more than the hotel room they stayed in…

He sighed, glanced at the two of them, and, remembering that they hadn't bought anything for them besides the clothes he had bought for them, said:

"Take a look and see if there's anything you want to buy, and buy it all."

After hearing this, Zhao Xiannan urged him to go to the shoe store and the watch store.

The two items cost several thousand yuan.

Chen Fangyang then looked at Shen Xuewei, "Little Weiwei, what do you want to buy? Your second uncle will buy it for you."

Shen Xuewei glanced at him, then pulled him to stand in front of the mobile phone store.

Chen Fangyang glanced inside, then turned to look at Shen Xuewei, whose eyes were full of expectation, and uttered two cold words:

"no."

Upon hearing the refusal, the expectation in Shen Xuewei's eyes turned to disappointment. "Fine, then I don't want to buy anything."

If the phone shop owner and staff hadn't been so overly responsible, refusing to sell phones to children no matter what, she wouldn't have begged her uncle to buy one for her.

Chen Fangyang sighed and used his free hand to ruffle her hair.

"Alright, since you don't know what to buy, your second uncle will decide and buy you a small gold bracelet."

He led Shen Xuewei to a shop selling gold jewelry, picked out a children's gold bracelet for her, paid for it, and put it on her arm on the spot.

At that time, the price of gold was less than 100 yuan, and Shen Xuewei's gold bracelet weighed about 20 grams, which was less than 2,000 yuan.

Chen Fangyang bought them all for Shen Xuewei, and then, remembering the three elderly people in his family, he bought one for each of them as well.

After a long day of sightseeing, the group found a roast duck restaurant nearby and had a meal.

After resting for a while, we went to another shopping mall, watched a movie, and then returned to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, Shen Xuewei rested on the bed for a while before sitting down at her computer.

Over the next few days, the three of them explored many places in the capital, leaving behind their own unique footprints.

Zhao Xiannan brought a camera and took a lot of pictures wherever he went.

On their last stop in the capital, the three of them climbed the Great Wall.

Shen Xuewei worked in the fields almost every day during the summer vacation. At the very least, she developed physical strength and endurance.

The three walked for more than two hours. Zhao Xiannan's steps were a little heavy, but he seemed to be able to keep going.

Shen Xuewei, wearing a baseball cap, wiped the sweat from her forehead with a tissue and continued walking forward at a steady pace.
