When Cheng Shuang arrived at the movie theater, there was still a long queue at the ticket counter. A few maintenance workers were mixed in with the noisy plastic figures, and the air was filled with the strong aroma of popcorn.
For a fleeting moment, it can make one feel somewhat dazed.
She stopped, turned around and looked back, her brows furrowing slightly.
Judging from their appearance, it's hard to tell the difference between the plastic figures, especially the employees wearing the shopping mall's uniform. However, only the receptionists in the children's play area wear light makeup that gives them a friendly look. Their similar uniforms are adorned with cute accessories, such as animal-shaped plush bags filled with candy.
The small bag left a deep impression on Cheng Shuang. She simply walked over to the movie poster and looked at it quietly, like a demanding film critic who insisted on picking out the pros and cons from the thin poster. She could look at a poster for ages.
She wore a dark, cape-shaped hat on her head, which didn't quite match her dirt-resistant black tracksuit. But the girl's delicate and pretty face made the mix-and-match look like a dark Lolita style.
The receptionist, hiding behind an ice cream shop, waited for a long time but the little girl in front of her didn't move. After a while, she finally gave up, unwilling to give up.
After coming out of the bathroom, it happened to find the little girl alone. It thought that a child couldn't be that cunning, and that following her might lead to the capture of her accomplice.
The receptionist knew that there was a high chance of returning empty-handed, but she couldn't help but hold onto a small hope. If she could recover the boss's losses, she would be grateful if, let alone get a promotion or a raise, she could just avoid having her salary docked.
However, time waits for no one, and if things continue to drag on, the manager will definitely treat it as passive resistance.
The gloomy cloak gently tapped the little girl's forehead, reminding her that the receptionist had left.
Cheng Shuang raised her hand and pulled up the top of her cloak, deliberately walking behind three plastic moviegoers who were leaving the cinema side by side, using them to conceal her figure.
Luo An hid the dolls in a storage box outside the movie theater. Since the receptionist hadn't given up following them, Cheng Shuang didn't plan to meet with Luo An. Instead, she secretly instructed him to pick out the prettiest dolls and store them separately.
After Luo An completed all her instructions, the little girl leisurely returned to the milk tea shop.
The two groups were clearly separated, and each showed a different expression when Cheng Shuang entered.
Zhu Kui was disappointed and resentful because the little girl came empty-handed.
Zhu Susu was secretly surprised and relieved.
Not only did Cheng Shuang see their expressions clearly, but the Du brothers and Du Jun also did not miss it.
Liu Juan had realized that Zhu Kui and his group were treating her like an ordinary customer at a bubble tea shop, so she sat quietly without making a sound. If they went back on their word, she could throw a card at the crucial moment to strike the enemy.
"You didn't go to the children's play area?" Zhu Kui asked coldly.
Cheng Shuang crossed her arms and sat down next to Du Jun. "Let's go!"
"Then...where is that person?" Zhu Kui was so excited he almost jumped up. He straightened up, placed his arms on the table, and approached Cheng Shuang with urgent force. Since the child had escaped unharmed, there was no question of failure. Because the place where the maintainer of failure ended up was the plastic garbage bag of the sanitation worker.
"Brother, don't you understand? She's out, but that doesn't mean she brought Gu Xin with her!" Zhu Susu said sarcastically. She had to admit, she was happy to see Cheng Shuang empty-handed. If it weren't for Gu Xin, Zhu Kui would still be that loving brother who always thought of his sister.
Cheng Shuang raised her eyebrows and pouted, "Oh ho, this auntie is so direct, calling my sister-in-law by her first name, she has no respect at all!"
"What she did has nothing to do that deserves my respect!" Zhu Susu glared angrily at Cheng Shuang. "You little brat, stop calling me 'Auntie' all the time, you're so..."
Before she could finish her curse, her brother covered her mouth with his large hand.
"Stop fooling around, think about your sister-in-law!" Zhu Kui scolded.
Cheng Shuang shrugged. "She only dares to be so arrogant because she's thinking about her beautiful sister-in-law! She's probably hoping that I, this impulsive kid, will anger her and cause her to do something reckless and bad in a moment of impulse."
"Keep an eye on her!" Zhu Kui's face darkened. He pushed Zhu Susu, who was still sobbing and cursing, towards Gu Lanshan, and stared at Cheng Shuang with sharp eyes. "Stop talking nonsense. Where is Gu Xin? Where is she?"
“Of course, in a safe place.” Cheng Shuang smiled, not caring about Zhu Kui’s attitude.
Everyone's time is precious. If Zhu Susu hadn't been so talkative, she wouldn't have wasted her breath talking to them.
"Give me my companion's mosaic piece first." Cheng Shuang took out a large bag, pointed to it, and said, "Put it here on the table, and we'll exchange them together."
She's not stupid. Uncle Sun takes each mosaic piece individually. If she hands over the beautiful doll and the other party gives her less than the required number of mosaic pieces, where can she complain?
Furthermore, this matter is not over once the transaction is completed, and no one owes anyone anything.
I will not offend others unless they offend me!
No one is forcing maintainers to cooperate and be friendly, but this kind of treacherous behavior of framing others just to use them to save one's own companions is simply astonishing and extremely worrying in terms of values.
Cheng Shuang doesn't consider her companions to be moral exemplars, but at least they have a bottom line.
Even at such a young age, the little girl knows what she should and shouldn't do!
Since you've done it, you have to pay the price for your mistakes.
Seeing the people opposite him sitting calmly and unperturbed, Zhu Kui felt anxious and somewhat resentful that Zhu Susu had offended them so badly. In the end, his emotions prevailed, and he took out some mosaic tiles and stuffed them into the pocket on the table.
"The quantity is incorrect," Du Jun said calmly after glancing at it.
"I want to see Gu Xin." Zhu Kui leaned back, displaying a stubbornness that seemed to say, "I'm not afraid of boiling water."
Cheng Shuang took out a locker receipt and slammed it on the table.
Zhu Kui's eyelids twitched, and he immediately flew into a rage. "What did you do to Gu Xin?"
"Go ask the homeless people that," Du Lanshan retorted directly. If Sun Han weren't in their hands, he would never allow anyone to treat the little girl like that. The child is so young; are their hearts made of iron?!
"Also, don't yell at my kids. Trying to out-shout me? Ha, I have the Lion's Roar skill!"
Du Lushui's lips twitched. Well, he had no idea that his simple-minded older brother had a second skill.
Cheng Shuang pursed her lips, trying to suppress a laugh. Oh my god, that roar! How could Uncle Du be so adorable!
Zhu Kui's face grew increasingly gloomy. Seeing the other side's barely perceptible, tightly knit group aura, he subconsciously turned to look at his teammates.
Zhu Kui, who was having a petty squabble with his younger sister Gu Lanshan, was also thinking about his brother-in-law Gu, a spoiled brat who only knew how to fawn over women, and his two brothers who were just sitting there doing nothing. At this moment, Zhu Kui, who felt that he was outnumbered and had no one to lead, missed his wife terribly.
