Mrs. Xue gently tapped her forehead. "Look at me, I'm getting old, my memory isn't what it used to be. How could I forget which family you belong to? Oh dear, look at me, I'm getting more and more confused as I get older. My dear, please don't mind."
Lu Baozhu didn't mind at all. "Auntie, I'm Baozhu. My dad is Lu Zhaoqing from the garment factory."
"Oh my, it's Factory Director Lu's daughter! I was wondering why she looked so familiar, but I just couldn't remember. Girl, what are you here to buy?"
"I'm here to buy clothes."
"oh."
Lu Baozhu kept staring at Xue Yanchen, and finally asked, "When did you get back, Brother Yanchen?"
Xue Yanchen's gaze had been fixed elsewhere, and when he heard her shout, he almost got goosebumps all over his body.
If a young woman were to call him that, he would be overjoyed. But as for the one in front of him, he said coldly, "Comrade, we don't know each other well, please don't call me that."
Lu Baozhu felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She smiled and said, "We're not familiar with each other now, but we will be later."
To win over Xue's mother, she walked up to her and, as if they were old friends, took her arm.
"Auntie, what do you want to buy? Are you buying clothes too? Let me help you pick something out, I have a great eye."
Her words were as sweet as honey, and she glanced at Xue Yanchen again, saying that if Xue Yanchen were to buy clothes, she would help him choose them.
Xue's mother noticed that she was being too enthusiastic towards her, and the way she looked at her son was also strange, like a wild beast staring at its prey.
She gently pulled her arm out of Lu Baozhu's grasp.
"Baozhu, I'm not buying clothes, I'm just browsing. You and your girlfriends want to buy clothes, so go ahead and do it. We won't take up any more of your time."
"It's alright, Auntie. Since we've met here, let me show you around."
She acted like a dutiful daughter-in-law and took Xue's mother's arm again.
"Really, it's not necessary. It's too much trouble for you."
When Xue's mother refused again, Lu Baozhu held her arm tightly this time, making it difficult for Xue's mother to pull it away.
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all, I have plenty of time."
"Well, that's not necessary. We're heading back soon."
Hearing what Xue's mother said, Lu Baozhu's face turned a little ugly. She saw that Xue's mother and Xue Yanchen were heading towards the second floor. How could they want to go home?
She released Xue's mother's arm with a disappointed look on her face.
