Chapter 343 Willful Ling'er
When the man heard this, he looked obviously flustered and immediately stood up, making quite a movement. Xu Miaomiao was frightened by his appearance and quickly raised her head, looking at the man and said, "Boss, what's wrong? Why are you so excited?"
The man was a little embarrassed when asked by Xu Miaomiao. He patted his head and said with an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Ah, I just suddenly forgot that my kitchen is still boiling tea. I just hope this boy can help me turn off the fire."
Xu Miaomiao sighed, filled the teacup in front of the man, and said, "Xiao Si in your store is the most considerate and sensible. How could he forget such a small matter? Don't worry about it."
The man nodded, then slowly sat down on the chair, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said seriously: "Mrs. Xu, what you just said about reporting to the police, is that true?"
Xu Miaomiao calmly straightened her clothes and said, "Of course it's true."
Hearing this, the man thought for a while, then immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "It's a pity that you don't have any evidence now. Besides, that person actually left the smuggled salt and left. How did you recognize him? I'm afraid that if I report it to the authorities, they won't believe it, and it will cause trouble for your department store. It's better for me to live in peace like this and make further plans later."
Xu Miaomiao understood the man's hidden meaning. She raised her sleeves slowly, waved her hand, looked at the man and continued, "Although we don't have any evidence now, we still have the smuggled salt. Besides, those guys are so big and strong that they are easy to identify. When the time comes, we just need to send out the arrest warrant and stick their portraits on the wall. Then we can naturally catch them and it won't be a waste of effort."
When the man heard this, his expression became extremely unnatural. He just looked at Xu Miaomiao for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing the two of them looking at each other in silence, Xu Miaomiao looked at the sky outside the window, thinking that the time was almost up, so she took the initiative to say, "I think it's almost time, so I won't stay here any longer."
Xu Miaomiao stood up, turned around and left slowly. When she was about to walk out the door, she looked up at the man and said, "Before I leave, I still want to remind the shopkeeper, be merciful when you can, don't push yourself too hard, and don't leave others with no way out."
Xu Miaomiao reminded him again today. As for what this man would do in the future, he didn't care about her anymore. As soon as she went downstairs, Xuguo was no longer there. Xu Miaomiao also learned that he had finished his work, so she clapped her hands and turned to leave.
As soon as she returned to the Song Mansion, Xu Guo immediately came forward, took Xu Miaomiao's hand, and said, "Sister Xu, did I handle today's affairs properly?"
Xuguo was like a child scrambling for candy. Xu Miaomiao smiled at him and patted Xuguo's head: "I have always trusted you to do things. You did a great job today. Returning those things can be considered as a lesson for them. We also want to let them know that our department store is not to be trifled with."
Xuguo hummed lightly, nodded, and smiled at Xu Miaomiao. Now it seemed that he had been in the capital for almost two years, and Ling'er was no longer a baby in swaddling clothes like before. Now he was almost five years old, and it was time for him to learn poetry and books.
Previously, Erbao and Xiaobao were in the same school because of Song Wushao, and the teacher was quite adequate. However, Ling'er was still young and her family background was not as profound as others, so it might not be easy to find a considerate and adequate teacher.
Xu Miaomiao was outside the house watching Ling'er painting with a brush inside.
As soon as she entered, Ling'er immediately raised her head, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Aunt Xu, mother, why didn't she come back with you?"
Although Ling'er suffered a head injury last time, she only lost some memories and still had basic common sense. When she saw Xu Miaomiao coming back alone, she tilted her head in confusion.
Xu Miaomiao took a step forward and ignored his words. Instead, she took the paper from his hand and praised Ling'er's painting: "Ling'er is so talented in painting, and Weiwei happens to know a little bit about it. Why don't you learn from Aunt Song?"
When Ling'er heard this, she immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, and nodded to Xu Miaomiao: "Aunt Song also said this to me before, but mother said that I was too young and couldn't hold a paintbrush. When I am older, I will learn painting with Aunt Song. So, Aunt Xu, where is mother? Why hasn't she come back yet?"
He was obviously a little panicked when he said this. If Ling'er was somewhat dependent on Xu Miaomiao at the beginning, but now he still relies the most on his biological mother Gu Yuanniang.
Xu Miaomiao also knew the worries in the child's heart, so she immediately squatted down and gently comforted Ling'er, saying, "Ling'er, don't worry, mother just has some things to deal with. I'll take you to see mother in a few days, okay?"
But who would have thought that when Ling'er heard this, she angrily threw the pen on the table, sat on the ground and said, "I want to see my mother. Where is my mother? I want to see my mother."
Since Xu Miaomiao came into this world, all the children she knew were as obedient and sensible as Dabao, Erbao, and Xiaobao. She didn't know where to start with the sudden throwing a tantrum, but Xu Miaomiao also knew that this was the normal behavior of a child.
Xu Miaomiao immediately picked up Ling'er from the ground, held him in her arms, and coaxed him gently: "Dear Ling'er, mother really has something important to do, so she didn't come back. Aunt Xu will hold you to sleep today and tell you a story tonight, okay?"
After hearing this, Hua Ling'er's eyebrows showed a little surprise, but then she patted Xu Miaomiao's shoulder unhappily and said, "I don't care, I don't care, I want my mother, where is my mother? I want my mother to come back."
Xu Miaomiao sighed helplessly and tried to coax the child in her arms, but he wouldn't listen.
Xu Miaomiao was also very helpless.
Erbao and Xiaobao happened to come back from school. They poked their heads out curiously, looked at Xu Miaomiao who was sighing in the room and said, "Mother, why is Ling'er so disobedient?"
Erbao walked forward with some curiosity.
When Ling'er saw Erbao, she suddenly fell silent.
