Liu Zhan wasn't too surprised since he already knew Yue Jiu Nian was buying the phones as gifts. He just asked curiously, "Sister, who are you going to give them to? Are you going to give them to nine people?"
Yue Jiu watched as Manager Lin went to get her phone, then sat down and drank the water the salesperson had just poured for her. She said, "It's like this, I have many sisters in my sect, eight phones were given to them, and one is for my own use."
"Oh, okay, you have quite a few female disciples."
Manager Lin quickly brought over all the phones and told the two of them the price. Based on the discount Liu Zhan had received when buying phones here before, the mall gave them a 50% discount this time.
Yue Jiu Nian held the bank card Jiang Hu had given her a couple of days ago, looked at the prices on the shopping list, and said, "A phone costs more than 10,000? Even after the discount, it's still more than 5,000 each. Tsk tsk, looks like I'm going to lose a lot of money."
Manager Lin smiled and said, "Yes, that's the price. Please sign here."
Just as Yue Jiu Nian was about to swipe her card and sign, she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
"Niannian? What are you doing here?"
When Yue Jiu Nian and Liu Zhan turned around, they saw four or five people standing behind them. It turned out to be Jiang's father, Jiang Yi, and several other strangers.
When Jiang Hu's father saw Yue Jiu Nian and Liu Zhan, he said, "Hey, it really is you two! Weren't you studying at home? What are you doing out here?"
Jiang Yi, who was standing to the side, was about to say something, but before he could speak, a middle-aged man next to him interrupted, pointing at Liu Zhan with a somewhat angry expression and saying:
"Xiao Zhan, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going to study at school? The college entrance exam is almost here, and you're still going out to play!"
After the man finished berating Liu Zhan, he saw Liu Zhan hiding behind Yue Jiu Nian with a guilty look on his face. He immediately changed his expression and spoke to Yue Jiu Nian in a kind and amiable manner:
"Oh, you must be Nian Nian. Thank you for saving Xiao Zhan on the mountain. Oh right, you probably don't know me yet. Actually, I'm Xiao Zhan's father, which means I'm your uncle."
Oh dear, I've actually been wanting to thank you for days, but I just haven't had the time. I never expected to run into you here today.
Jiang Hu also laughed and said, "Niannian, hurry up and call for help! Your uncle just said he wanted to give you a house as a thank you gift."
Upon hearing "give away a house," Yue Jiu immediately greeted the person politely, "Hello, Uncle-in-law, thank you, Uncle-in-law."
Jiang Yi was finally able to speak. He said, "What brings you here? Are you here to buy a phone? Which one did Niannian like? I'll give it to you."
Yue Jiu Nian was still feeling the pinch of her allowance, but when she heard Jiang Yi say he was going to give her a phone, she immediately said, "Yes, that's right, I'm here to buy a phone. Big brother, are you really going to give me one? By the way, Dad, what are you doing here?"
Jiang Yi also recognized Manager Lin here. He gestured for Manager Lin to give him the shopping receipt to sign: "Oh, it's like this, our company just happened to be coming here for an inspection, so I came with my uncle. Oh my, Niannian, how did you end up buying nine cell phones?!"
Jiang Yi originally thought that his younger siblings would each have one cell phone at most, but unexpectedly they bought nine at once!
Although Jiang Yi was surprised that Yue Jiunian would buy so many phones, he still signed and paid for them. After all, he could afford to pay that amount. He just couldn't understand why Yue Jiunian would buy so many at once, and all of them were the exact same model.
Jiang Hu and Liu's father also heard Jiang Yi's words. They couldn't understand why Yue Jiu Nian wanted to buy so many. Jiang Hu asked, "Nine? Nian Nian, why did you two buy nine?"
After watching Jiang Yi pay, Yue Jiu Nian took the shopping bag containing the phones from Manager Lin and said slowly, "Thank you, brother. Oh, actually, these phones aren't for us to use; I bought them as gifts."
At this moment, Liu Zhan also peeked out from behind Yue Jiu Nian and said, "Yes, my sister said that she was going to buy them to give to the sisters in her sect, so Dad, I didn't slack off. I just brought my sister out to buy phones."
As soon as Liu Zhan spoke, his father glared at him: "Hmph~ I'll let you off this time, but if you dare to run around again and not study properly, see how I deal with you!"
When Yue Jiu saw Liu Zhan's terrified expression towards his father, a scene resembling a mouse seeing a cat, she found it amusing. She spoke up for Liu Zhan, saying, "Haha~ Actually, Uncle, don't blame Xiao Zhan. I just returned to C City and am not very familiar with it. I didn't know where to go to buy things by myself, so I troubled Xiao Zhan."
Jiang Hu patted Liu's father on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Hey, Lao Liu, don't be too serious with the child. Look how scared he is of you."
Mr. Liu said helplessly, "Sigh~ Brother-in-law, you know what kind of person he is. If you don't take care of him, he goes crazy and plays like a madman. He's such a grown man, yet he's still so immature."
The 'unruly' child didn't dare to utter a word after being scolded by his father. After all, he was indeed quite playful. However, he felt ashamed to see his father criticizing him in front of so many people.
He secretly tugged at Yue Jiu Nian's clothes and asked, "Sister, are you going anywhere else?"
Yue Jiu Nian glanced at the time and realized it was getting late, so she said to him, "No, I still want to go shopping in other places."
