"I want this, this, and this, wrap them all up."
Xu Yao went in and picked out some that looked good to her, wrapped them up, and then smiled as she looked at the three people behind her and handed them to them.
Lin Youyou quickly filled both hands with things, and Qin Xier and Nan Zhi also had quite a few in their hands.
"I'm so sorry, I bought so much without realizing it. You've helped me carry all this stuff, I'll treat you to dinner later."
Xu Yao's face was full of guilt, but the malice in her eyes was quite obvious.
Even Lin Youyou and Qin Xier could see it.
The two women were furious, but since Nanzhi remained silent, they refrained from making any rash moves. After all, she was Nanzhi's cousin, and it was best not to make things too ugly.
Nanzhi smiled and said:
"It's okay, buy it if your cousin likes it."
Seeing her like this, Xu Yao suddenly felt that it was all pointless. She snorted, turned around and started to splurge again. After buying a few items, she was carrying two bags in her hands.
However, compared to the other three, the things they were carrying in their arms and on their shoulders almost completely covered their faces.
With so many things to carry, it's really tiring and makes me sleepy.
Nan Zhi was alright, she had a good foundation, but Qin Xi'er and Lin Youyou couldn't take it anymore and wanted to sit down and rest.
"Zhizhi, let's rest for a while before we go."
Qin Xi'er's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and she spoke while panting.
Before Nan Zhi could speak, she heard Xu Yao frown and say:
"That won't do. I was planning to take you out to eat. Let's hold on a little longer."
Qin Xi'er: "......"
Nan Zhi glanced at Xu Yao indifferently, "Cousin, we need to go to the restroom. You can wait here for a bit."
Xu Yao: "..." Even if she knew Nan Zhi was just taking a break, she couldn't just leave her without going to the bathroom, so Xu Yao nodded impatiently, "Hurry up."
Nan Zhi and the others put down what they were carrying, and then pulled Lin Youyou and Qin Xier toward the restroom.
Xu Yao waited for more than ten minutes, but Nan Zhi and the others still hadn't returned. She got angry and took out her phone to call Nan Zhi, but no one answered.
After waiting a few more minutes, Nanzhi still hadn't returned. Xu Yao's heart skipped a beat. Had Nanzhi run away?
The reason she was so fearless today was mainly because she felt that Nan Zhi had received instructions from Elder Shen and would definitely not dare to cause trouble for her. After all, if she wanted to be with Shen Xingmian for a long time, she had to get past Elder Shen's hurdle.
Who knew she would just run away?
Looking at the huge pile of things on the ground, Xu Yao instantly felt a headache coming on. In order to make things difficult for Nan Zhi and the others, she had told the driver beforehand that they would take a taxi back.
Finally, Xu Yao stomped her foot in anger, took out her phone, and called Xu Jingzhi.
......
"Hahaha, that's so satisfying! Zhizhi, you're amazing!"
Lin Youyou laughed so hard her belly bent over, and gave Nanzhi a thumbs up without hesitation.
"Zhizhi, wouldn't you be offending her if you did that?"
Seeing Qin Xi'er's worry, Nan Zhi spoke indifferently:
"I've disliked her for a long time. If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll really think we're easy to bully."
Xu Yao is so arrogant. Nan Zhi has no interest in playing along with her. If you were kind, that would be fine, but this person thinks that with Old Master Shen's backing, she wouldn't dare to disobey her. How naive.
"Come on, I'm in a good mood today, I'll treat you to something delicious."
Nan Zhi waved her small hand and spoke with a refreshed expression.
The three of them went to the snack street that Lin Youyou had wanted to visit, satisfying her appetite, before turning back to the mall they had been in. However, Xu Yao had already left.
"Zhizhi, why are we coming back? Xu Yao must have left a long time ago."
Lin Youyou used a skewer to stick a small meatball into her mouth, and as soon as she swallowed it, she couldn't help but ask a question.
Nanzhi patted her shoulder with a grin, "It's nothing, just came to see if she was waiting for us."
More than an hour had passed, and Xu Yao wasn't stupid; of course, she couldn't continue waiting here.
Nanzhi could even imagine what she would say to Old Master Shen when she got back: "Let's go back and watch the show today."
The three of them wandered around for a while, and bought a few more clothes they liked. Before they knew it, it was afternoon, and Nanzhi invited Qin Xier and Lin Youyou to have lunch together.
"Is that Lian Chuchu over there wearing a mask?" Qin Xi'er's gaze suddenly fixed on a woman not far ahead.
Nan Zhi and Lin Youyou followed her gaze and immediately recognized that it was Lian Chuchu.
"Why is she acting so suspiciously, and wearing a mask? In this hot weather, isn't she afraid of getting heat rash?"
Lin Youyou pouted, unable to understand Lian Chuchu's thought process. Nan Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and then she said:
"Where is she planning to go?"
The three of them secretly hid in a secluded place and followed for a few minutes. They discovered that Lian Chuchu had turned left and right several times before stopping in front of a courtyard house called "Shanglinyuan," which was a private restaurant.
Located in an alley in Beijing, this place is not as noisy as the outside; instead, it is remarkably quiet.
"Come on, let's go in and eat."
Nanzhi beckoned the two of them to follow. The interior was decorated in a retro style. There was no main hall, and no matter which guests came, they would only have a separate room.
Seeing this way of treating guests, Nan Zhi had a bit of a headache. Wouldn't she have no way of knowing what Lian Chuchu was doing?
Oh, what a pity.
After ordering the food, Nanzhi became somewhat listless.
Even though Lin Youyou and Qin Xier were chattering away.
"Take this back to your dad and tell him it's a gift from me."
Lin Youyou handed Qin Xier a tie she had bought earlier from the mall, a smile on her face.
When did you buy it?
"Haha, I saw it, so I asked the shop assistant to wrap it up together."
Qin Xi'er: "......"
Ever since Lin Youyou began to regard Lian Jin as her second parents, she has often asked her to bring her gifts. Every time Qin Xier presents Lin Youyou's gift to Lian Jin, she says, "Your daughter asked me to give this to you."
Lian Jin initially tried to correct them, but it had no effect, so he eventually gave up on correcting their way of addressing them.
However, I still put all the gifts away.
"Youyou, are you really planning to take care of my cousin in his old age?" I couldn't help but ask, it was just too unbelievable.
Lin Youyou nodded firmly, "Of course I must repay my savior."
Qin Xi'er: "...But think about it, when my cousin gets old, you'll get old too. How will you take care of him in his old age?"
With a "smack," Lin Youyou slammed her hand on the table, startling Nan Zhi.
“I... I completely forgot about that. Although your cousin is older than me, it's only by a few years. If that's the case, I might really not be able to support him in his old age.”
Nanzhi: "..."
Qin Xi'er: "......"
It seems you didn't consider your age at all beforehand, and just impulsively said you wanted to retire?
