Chapter 109 The Magical Mall

"Don't rush home, go to the mall across the street first. Let's go see Jiaojiao tomorrow and buy some gifts." After getting in the car, Nian Sui'an said to the father and son.

Gu Junxing didn't have any objections, "Okay, let's have dinner outside."

Only Gu Zhijing was puzzled, "Who is Jiaojiao?"

When Gu Junxing told him about this before, he deliberately concealed the name and didn't say too much.

Nian Sui'an told him: "Jiaojiao is my friend's child, she is three years old this year."

Then he asked him, "Do you want to go with me? Her family lives next door to Qu Zizhou's house. If you want to go to visit Qu Zizhou, you can go with me."

They were talking to Xia Xia, and it would definitely be inconvenient for Gu Zhijing to follow them. She thought that Gu Zhijing might go to visit Qu Zizhou, so she asked by the way.

Gu Zhijing shook his head. He was not interested in watching children. He preferred playing games.

"Qu Zizhou will come to our house tomorrow."

The mall was near the school. It was the one Nian Sui'an had been to before. It was very close. It was just around the corner from the school.

As soon as they entered the mall, Nian Sui'an said to the two of them, "Think about what to eat in the evening. Let's go buy gifts first."

Anyway, Gu Junxing and Gu Zhijing had no say in choosing gifts. Nian Sui'an didn't believe in their taste, so it was better to let them think about what to eat earlier.

It was the first time they met, so it would be strange to give a very expensive gift. Nian Sui'an bought a teddy bear and a set of Lego.

"Madam, we have a promotion in our store today. If you buy two or more items, you will get 20% off. Do you need anything else? You can pick one more."

Nian Sui'an wanted to say no. She only wanted to buy one item. There was no need to buy another one for the 20% off.

Just as she was about to shake her head, she saw the boxes next to the counter and picked one up and handed it over.

"Then add this one."

"Okay, madam, the total after the discount is 968 yuan. I'll scan it for you."

Nian Sui'an just turned on her phone and Gu Junxing next to her handed over the payment code. Seeing that he was going to pay, Nian Sui'an did not refuse. Anyway, Gu Junxing had money, so there was no need to be embarrassed.

After paying, Nian Sui'an handed the one she took later to Gu Zhijing.

"For you."

"For me? An excavator?" Gu Zhijing took it in confusion. He didn't expect that he would get a share of the gifts he bought for others.

Yes, when Niansheng'an was paying, he saw the Lego excavator next to the counter and thought it was interesting, so he bought it. However, it might be a bit complicated for a three-year-old child to build it. It is just right for a fifteen-year-old.

"Thank you, little sister." Gu Zhijing grinned and thanked Niansheng'an.

Nian Sui'an didn't take credit for it. She pointed at Gu Junxing and said to Gu Zhijing, "Your dad paid for it."

"Shouldn't my dad pay for it? He's much richer than the two of us. If he doesn't pay, who will? Right, Dad?"

Gu Junxing didn't bother to pay attention to him and began to discuss with Nian Sui'an in a low voice what to eat tonight.

"Didn't you guys think about it just now?" What Nian Sui'an hates most is thinking about what to eat for lunch and dinner. When she is at home, she doesn't have to worry about it. It's all prepared by Zhang's mother, so she doesn't have to think about it herself.

"Zhijing said she wants to eat Hunan cuisine, what about you?"

Nian Sui'an doesn't have any special preferences for food. His biggest requirement is that it tastes good.

"Then just listen to Zhi Jing, I have no objection."

The three of them found a Hunan restaurant on the sixth floor of the shopping mall. The closing ceremony of the afternoon sports meeting ended early, and they came to eat after shopping before it was time for everyone to get off work and school, so there were not many people in the store.

None of the three of them had been to this restaurant, so when ordering, they picked out a few of the signature dishes.

"After the sports meeting, are you going to have your midterm exam soon?"

After ordering, Gu Zhijing ate the fruit delivered by the store and waited happily for the meal to start. He didn't expect that the knife to kill him would come so quickly.

"Yes...right."

"You can rest on weekends, but don't just play around, remember to review."

In terms of study, Gu Junxing usually doesn't chase after Gu Zhijing to force him to study, nor does he have the time to watch him every day. He will only remind him occasionally, and how to arrange his studies in the future is the child's own business.

Regarding Gu Zhijing's study, Gu Junxing once said to him: "Don't grow up and fail to reach the academic threshold for being an ordinary employee in my company."

However, from childhood to adulthood, there are teachers in school who teach him, and at home, there are red lines set for him by Gu Junxing, so in these years, although Gu Zhijing's academic performance is not particularly outstanding, it is not too bad.

"I know."

Gu Zhijing said these four words with a heavy tone. He was indeed a little too happy recently. He had forgotten all about midterm exams and review. Niansuan did not interrupt Gu Zhijing

about his studies. She thought that she was just thinking in the old way. Even if the Gu family was rich and could make Gu Zhijing worry-free for the rest of his life, Niansuan still hoped that Gu Zhijing could study hard and go to college.

...

"The food in this restaurant is not bad." The food in most restaurants in shopping malls is generally average, not particularly delicious nor particularly bad. But this restaurant gave her a surprise.

Seeing that Gu Zhijing seemed to be still immersed in the sadness of the upcoming midterm exam, with his head down, not knowing what he was thinking, Nianshunan served him a bowl of soup.

"Eat first, the exam is not tomorrow, you still have time to review."

Gu Zhijing came back to his senses, thanked Nianshunan, and then began to drink the soup. He was embarrassed to say that he was not thinking about the exam just now, but was calculating how many hours of games he could play tomorrow.

"Mr. Gu?! Why are you here?"

Hearing the voice, Nianshunan's hand holding the chopsticks tightened.

Is this mall a plot? How come I always run into acquaintances every time I come here, how can it be such a coincidence? ? ? !

"Sister-in-law and Zhijing are here too?"

Nian Sui'an looked up and saw that the person who called them was Liu Jian. Next to him stood a woman in a knitted dress with a low ponytail, and her whole body exuded a gentle temperament.

"Why are you here?" Gu Junxing didn't expect to meet Liu Jian here. He was usually very picky about food. He would either go to those very expensive restaurants or go to those small restaurants in the alleys. He never came to the mall to eat.

"I'm having dinner with a friend.

Her name is Su Li, Miss Su. This is my friend Gu Junxing, his wife and children."

"Hello." Su Li smiled and greeted them.

"Old Gu, let's make an appointment another day. We won't disturb your family for dinner." In fact, Liu Jian didn't understand why Gu Junxing would bring his wife and children to eat here, but now was not the time to talk. Liu Jian met Gu Junxing after he came out of dinner. After a few words, he left first.

"Is that his girlfriend?"

Gu Junxing shook his head, "She's probably his blind date."
