Chapter 141 Every step was miscalculated
Even though they had already introduced her to them, Jiang Ning still politely addressed them as "Uncle" and "Auntie."
Jiang Ting glanced at Jiang Ning, then suddenly raised her hand and flicked her hair.
Jiang Ning glanced up at her hand as she made that affected gesture.
Oh, what a coincidence!
It wasn't that she wanted to see it, but rather that she had seen the gold ring on Jiang Ting's hand before; it was one of the ten rings that Shen's mother had rejected.
The reason for its elimination was that it was too small and lacked grandeur.
Then I picked out a gold butterfly ring for her that was about the size of two thumbs.
That thing was too conspicuous to wear. She also had a bracelet on her wrist, and she was still wearing winter clothes, so the bracelet could be hidden inside her clothes.
A ring won't work.
Jiang Ning still put the ring in the bag.
She wouldn't stop her mother from buying gold, knowing that the value of gold would increase many times over in the future.
"Little sister, are you alone? Do you want to come shopping with us? Mom and Dad said they're going to buy me three big items today. I didn't want to, since I spend most of my time at school, but they said I can't miss out on these. I didn't expect to run into you here. Since that's the case, little sister, why don't you come with me and help me choose?"
This wasn't Jiang Ning's first encounter with Jiang Ting. Jiang Ting's insistence on going with her was simply to show off how good Lin Yufei's parents were to her.
"No need, I'm with..."
Just as Jiang Ning was about to refuse, Shen Qianqian suddenly came out of the bathroom, took Jiang Ning's arm, and asked, "Second sister-in-law, haven't Mom and Dad arrived yet?"
"Not yet." Jiang Ning's eyes lit up. "Shall we go look for them?"
She didn't want to get entangled with Jiang Ting any further.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning say she was going to look for someone, Shen Qianqian's eyes immediately became evasive. "Second sister-in-law, I don't want to leave. Why don't we just sit on those chairs over there for a while and wait for Mom and Dad to come find us?"
Jiang Ning thought it was a good idea; since Shen Qianqian had already said to sit for a while, she wouldn't have to be pestered by Jiang Ting to go shopping.
Jiang Ning's smile remained unchanged. "Sister, I still have to wait for someone, so I won't go shopping with you."
Jiang Ting couldn't help but glance at Shen Qianqian next to Jiang Ning. The other woman had just called Jiang Ning "Second Sister-in-law," so she must be Shen Mo's sister.
Shen Mo's sister is back, so Shen Mo's parents should be back too!
Jiang Ning is probably taking care of Shen Mo's in-laws now.
In her past life, Shen Mo's parents wrote to her asking her to go to the capital to serve them, but how could she possibly agree to that?
Although Shen Mo's military rank is currently higher than Lin Yufei's, once Shen Mo dies, he will be nothing.
Jiang Ting didn't want to miss the chance for Jiang Ning to witness her in-laws being kind to her, so she said, "Sister, why don't you come with us for a walk? We might run into you on the way."
Seeing that the other party was persistent, and noticing that Jiang Ning didn't seem to care much about this older sister, Shen Qianqian immediately said, "My second sister-in-law said she doesn't want to be with you, didn't you hear?"
Shen Qianqian's temperament was tempered in the countryside, but after returning to the capital, her temper returned. Having been pampered by her family since childhood, she doesn't speak with so many hidden meanings.
Jiang Ting was speechless at the other party's arrogant demeanor.
She still had a smile on her face, seemingly ignoring the dissatisfaction in the other person's words. She wanted to say something more and was about to speak.
Just then, Shen Qianqian suddenly waved, "Mom and Dad, eldest brother and second brother, over here!"
Jiang Ning looked up.
Jiang Ting and the Lin family members also subconsciously turned their heads and looked in that direction.
Shen's mother's hands were empty, while Shen's father, Shen Ziming, and Shen Mo's hands were full of things.
"Ningning, these bags are clothes and shoes for you. Don't refuse. Mom's judgment is always right. Luckily, Shen Mo remembers your size." Mother Shen pointed to the two bags in Shen Ziming's hand, "These two bags are for Zhiqi. As his grandmother, I have to show my appreciation."
Jiang Ning didn't expect that Shen Qianqian had pulled her away to make it easier for Shen's mother to buy her clothes.
Jiang Ning was both amused and exasperated. Seeing that Shen Mo was about to collapse from carrying the bags, she reached out to help him carry the two bags, but Shen Mo dodged her.
"Honey, these are a bit heavy, don't let them weigh you down." After saying that, he thought for a moment and then handed her a few small bags, "You carry these."
Jiang Ning recognized it as a jewelry bag, which contained a jewelry box.
She took the jewelry bag.
Jiang Ting and the Lin family members instantly became bystanders.
Jiang Ting's eyes widened when she saw the few small bags that Shen Mo handed to Jiang Ning.
She recognized the bag; she had bought her gold ring at that jewelry store.
When Jiang Ning took the bag, a gold bracelet with intricate patterns was revealed on her slender white wrist. It was the bracelet she had spotted the moment she entered the jewelry store, but its price was beyond her reach.
She didn't even dare to mention how pretty the bracelet was, because she knew that no matter how much her parents cherished her as a college student, they would never buy her a gold bracelet worth several thousand yuan!
But what she wanted was now on Jiang Ning's wrist!
Moreover, judging from the size of the bag, there should be quite a few things inside; it's definitely not just a small piece of jewelry.
Why should I?!
Why did she make mistakes at every step?
Jiang Ning should be inferior to her in every way.
How could the Shen family be so rich?
Wasn't their family sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution?
Moreover, they bought so many clothes for Jiang Ning, but she never saw how many bags of clothes they bought.
If... if she were to marry Shen Mo...
Could that gold bracelet and all those clothes be hers?
That money is hers now...
Jiang Ting's expression wasn't good; she was both distressed about the money and jealous.
"Let's go buy something." In the end, it was Lin Yufei who pulled Jiang Ting away.
Lin Yufei didn't know what was wrong with him, but he felt something was off whenever he saw Jiang Ning.
But as soon as he saw Shen Mo, he just wanted to leave. Shen Mo's aura was too strong. In the army, he was always the one who looked up to him.
After Jiang Ting and the Lin family left, Shen Mo's family didn't even spare them a glance.
After buying their things, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo didn't go back to the veterans' compound with Shen's mother and the others, but instead went back to their family compound.
Just as Jiang Ning returned to the entrance of the residential compound, she saw an acquaintance outside the gate.
Shen Mo drove over, and Jiang Ning called out to the other person, "Huang Xiaodong."
Huang Xiaodong exclaimed in surprise, "Sister Ning? You're really back!"
