“When Chu Zhao was little, your uncle and I were both busy with company matters. We originally wanted Chu Zhao to stay with you, but he cried too much when he was little, and you disliked him. Every time he came to your house, he would cry and go back.”
As if thinking of something pleasant, Chu's mother smiled and said, "Later, I could only let his aunt take care of him. His aunt was not very reliable. By the time I put down my work, his personality had already been formed. If I wanted to correct him, he was still in his rebellious phase. I could only wait until after the college entrance examination and let him experience some things on his own."
To be honest, not only did the original owner dislike Chu Zhao for her tendency to cry, but Qiao Zhen also disliked Chu Zhao's unconventional aesthetics now.
"Have we arrived yet?" Qiao Zhen looked at the two large golden characters on the building: Golden Cauldron.
"Not yet, let's go to the garage and take the elevator up."
"Okay." Qiao Zhen played with the squirrel's forelegs. "I'm going to buy you a little house later, aren't you excited?"
"Wow!" [Excited!]
Watching Qiao Zhen interact with the little squirrel, Chu's mother was still somewhat incredulous. She had watched Wen Zhen grow up, and she naturally knew how cold-hearted she was. "Your little squirrel is very intelligent."
When Chu Chu was mentioned, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but feel proud and honored. "Of course, look who she is."
The two took the elevator to the seventh floor. "Let's buy the squirrel supplies first, and then we'll browse the cosmetics and clothing sections later."
"Okay." Qiao Zhen agreed, and then enthusiastically led Chu Chu into the pet supplies area. Almost everything was chosen by Chu Chu herself. "Is there anything else you want? I'm telling you, I'm very busy next week."
Chu Chu walked shyly to the colorful melon seeds, "Eek!" [Zhenzhen, I want this.]
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but facepalm. "This is fake, you can't eat it." She grabbed a handful and placed it in front of Chu Chu. "Smell it if you don't believe me."
Chu Chu cautiously approached, full of anticipation, only to smell a strong plastic odor. Nevertheless, she held her forelegs and looked at Qiao Zhen expectantly. "Eek!" [I wanted it!]
"Impossible, unless you do my homework for me."
Chuchu looked at the colorful plastic sunflower seeds with a conflicted expression. The decision was just a thought away. It slapped its little paw on the seeds and exclaimed, "Deal!"
"Fine, but you can't eat it, understand?"
Qiao Zhen filled a small shovel with sunflower seeds and then poured them into a plastic bag.
"Alas."
Looking at the fruit and melon seeds not far away, Chu's mother said, "Those are melon seeds dyed with pigments extracted from fruit. They are relatively safe and edible."
Chu Chu bit Qiao Zhen's trouser leg, trying to drag her towards the fruit and melon seeds area, "Eek! Eek!"
Qiao Zhen looked at Chu Chu's impatient appearance and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Can we not be so embarrassing? It's not like we're not going to buy it for you."
Chu's mother realized that she could misjudge a girl sometimes; the young girl in front of her wasn't cold-hearted at all, but clearly incredibly loving. "Let's go."
Qiao Zhen paid for her items and left her address so the store would deliver them to her home the next day. She carried a handbag, which she used...
Perhaps it was fate, but when Chu's mother took Qiao Zhen to the cosmetics section on the fifth floor, they ran into Chu Zhao, who was with An Erle.
"mom?"
Chu's mother looked towards the source of the voice, "Chu Zhao, did you come with your classmates?"
“Yes.” Chu Zhao saw Qiao Zhen next to his mother but ignored her because he had already decided to sever ties with her. “This is An Erle, she’s in Class S of the senior year at our school.”
Class S is the best class in the senior year of high school. Even those with money and power cannot get in; you have to rely on your grades and abilities.
"Hello, An." Chu's mother greeted him in a very friendly manner.
Qiao Zhen ignored the two people. She was sorry, but she wasn't going to be polite to people like An Erle and Chu Zhao. She lowered her head and stroked the fur of the little squirrel in her arms.
【Chuchu, make sure you see the girl in the white dress. Next time you see her, just run away and don't look back.】
"Yi" [Good.]
An Erle smiled reservedly, "Hello, Aunt Chu, Wen."
At this moment, Qiao Zhen felt like a villainous supporting character. The male lead and the delicate female lead were shopping and on a date when they bumped into the male lead's mother shopping with the villainous supporting character from a powerful family. Next, it was the supporting character's turn to act recklessly and do something stupid, but Qiao Zhen deliberately ignored them.
Seeing that Qiao Zhen ignored her, An Er lowered her head, looking somewhat dejected. "Wen, I really didn't mean to take that doll last time."
"Hmm." Qiao Zhen responded noncommittally. Chu Zhao was trying to cause trouble for her, so she had to do something in return. "You two went on a date?"
"No...no." An Erle's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head even further, her voice soft. "It's just that I misunderstood Chu last time, thinking he was going to play a trick on me, so..."
"So I brought her out to buy some things and apologize to her." Chu Zhao finished what An Erle hadn't said, and angrily turned to Qiao Zhen, "Don't spread rumors about me and An Erle! She's a girl, her reputation is very important!"
Qiao Zhen said casually, "Really? Am I overthinking this? You used to never dare touch my things, but yesterday you gave her my doll after she shed a few tears." She said, half threatening and half intimidating, "We've been inseparable since we were little. Even though we're different genders, we're like brothers and sisters. If you have any worries, tell me. I won't tell Aunt Chu."
Chu's mother listened with amusement to Qiao Zhen's words, which were tinged with a little scheming. She raised her hand and affectionately patted Qiao Zhen's forehead, "Alright, you've been watching too many TV dramas. You're not normal anymore. Since we've met, let's go together."
