"Okay, then I'll listen to you. I'll accompany you to the mall first, and then we'll have lunch outside at noon. I'll accompany you there again in the afternoon."
"Anyway, all my time these days belongs to you. Feel free to arrange it. I'll be with you no matter what you do."
I had to hear what he said and thought that it was a very thoughtful arrangement. Since I was not here, I let his good friend accompany him.
Although this made me feel comfortable, if he really was hiding something from me, he would still be taught a lesson.
After finishing their meal, the four of them got into Fu Shen's car and headed straight to the shopping mall.
The group walked around, stopping and picking up some things. Xia Jin originally wanted to pay, but his three brothers refused to let him.
"Xiao Jin, this is a gift from us to Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu. How can we let you pay for it? You are you, and we are us."
"What's wrong with that? We are all family, so why differentiate between you and me?"
Brother Xia patted his head and said, "It's fine for other things, but not for this one. We're going to visit your future in-laws now."
"To show our respect, the gift must be bought by us, otherwise, how can it be considered a gift from us to him?"
"Your sending is different from mine. Our identities are different. We belong to your family."
Hearing what Brother Xia said, Xia Jin could only nod helplessly. Although he didn't know what the difference was, seeing that he was so insistent, he left the matter of paying the bill to him.
I thought that if they spent too much, I would find a way to give them some later. Otherwise, I would feel embarrassed because they had no money because of me.
Xia Jin also bought some nice clothes and headwear, including some for herself, her sister, and Chen Xin.
After shopping, the group left the mall with bags full of stuff, ready to find a place to eat, then go back to rest for a while before going to formally visit the Gu family.
They didn't know that they were not the only ones in the mall at the same time, Liang Shu was also accompanying his mother shopping.
Ever since that incident, the entire Liang family has been severely damaged. Grandpa Liang has to retire from his original position, and Uncle Liang was also imprisoned.
The entire Liang family became nervous and the atmosphere was a little tense. They hadn't gone out for a good walk for a long time.
After a lot of effort, the two of them came out and met Xia Jin and the others. When Liang Shu saw Xia Jin, he hated him so much because if it weren't for him, so many things wouldn't have happened in their family.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with what his grandfather did. After all, it was those things that provided their family with a steady stream of money for him to have fun.
He hated Xia Jin because he felt that Xia Jin had snatched away Gu Jingmo. That was why Gu Jingmo had forgotten their friendship and revealed all the affairs of their family.
If Xia Jin hadn't interfered, perhaps their family would have married into the Gu family, and the two families would have become one, and this kind of thing wouldn't have happened.
So how could he not hate him? Especially when he saw him chatting and laughing with Fu Shen while shopping in the mall, he felt even angrier.
How could his family be in such a mess, yet he was still fine? He was just a country bumpkin. Now those people in the Gu family circle respected him, wasn't it because he was Gu Jingmo's man?
After what happened in their family, many people in the circle avoided him. Only those who worked with his grandfather still played with them.
Through this incident, he thoroughly realized the fickleness of the world, and he was always worried in his heart, thinking that one day he would step on them and make them look down on him.
But now their family is in this state, and Xia Jin is still fine. How can he be willing to accept this? However, thinking of his grandfather's warning, he didn't dare to act rashly.
I can only hold my anger in for now, and then slowly think of how to teach him a lesson, or to break up the relationship between him and Gu Jingmo.
He felt that if it weren't for Gu Jingmo, Xia Jin would still be that country girl from a small county town. How could she have such ability to chat and laugh with Fu Shen and the others?
So he felt that he had come up with a solution. He just needed to separate the two of them, and then a little Xia Jin would not be a threat.
Because he was looking at them, he didn't hear his mother calling him several times. It was not until his mother slapped him that he reacted.
"Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I was just surprised to see someone I used to know."
"What's so surprising about those people? They're just ungrateful. When our family was in power, they all rushed to curry our favor. Now that they see we're in trouble, they're running away faster than anyone else."
"They are waiting for the situation to change. When our family finally gains power, they will be in trouble."
Xia Jin and the others had no idea that Liang Shu was also in the mall. If she had known he was there, Xia Jin would not have gone in.
It wasn't that she was afraid, she simply didn't want to get into trouble. After all, no one would not be afraid of his unreasonable look.
Being pestered by him is so annoying. It would be better to ignore them from the beginning, so that nothing will happen.
After they went out, they first found a restaurant and had a good meal. They took Brother Xia and the others to try Jincheng's special dishes, and then returned to the courtyard to rest.
Around three in the afternoon, they packed up, took the gifts they had bought, and headed to the Gu family in Fu Shen's car.
At the same time, the Gu family in the compound:
"Old man, how do I look in this outfit? Doesn't it make me look gentle and dignified, not like a wicked mother-in-law at all?"
"Very good. How about mine? It looks pretty energetic, right?"
"Your outfit is fine too. Hurry up and get ready downstairs. People will be arriving soon. Try to make a good impression on the family."
"As for Jing Mo's matter, don't let anything slip. When Jing Mo left, he told me not to let Xiao Jing know about this. If you let it slip, just wait and see how he'll blame you when he comes back."
"knew."
The two of them sat upright on the sofa, waiting for Xia Jin and the others to come. Although Jian was not Xia Jin's parents, his brother was also very important.
After all, if they don't treat Brother Xia well, what if he goes back and thinks their family is not good and ruins their relationship?
