Chapter 116 Feather Earrings
"Thank you." Yan Buyu handed the milk tea to Si Jingxu and sat down to wait for the sales assistant to help.
Si Jingxu stood to the side, watching her quietly.
His phone suddenly rang in his pocket, interrupting his thoughts. He frowned, took it out, and glanced at it. It was his grandfather calling.
"Buyu, I'm going to take this call. You can look at other things," he said, then looked at the saleswoman. "Wrap up these earrings and find her some more from the same collection. Use this card; there's no PIN."
The most attractive men are those who are handsome, wealthy, and generous with their money.
The other saleswomen who weren't being served looked at their colleagues with envy and jealousy.
"Young lady, may I have these earrings?"
Yan Buyu put on a pair of glasses and was admiring herself in the mirror when a gentle and pleasant female voice came from beside her.
She turned her head and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman dressed in haute couture business attire.
"I really like your earrings. Can I have them? I can give you a different style instead."
This is the second time that Yan Buyu has encountered someone else who wants something from her.
But this time was different. The woman spoke in a very comfortable way and did not have any disgusting looks such as contempt or arrogance.
“But I like it too, and I’ve already decided to take it. Why don’t you take a look at something else?” Yan Buyu replied politely.
The woman didn't give up and continued gently, "Young lady, their styles can be pre-ordered, but I have an urgent matter and need them in the next couple of days. I can pre-order a pair of the same style for you, but could you give me this one that's in stock? Thank you for your help."
Yan Buyu felt an inexplicable fondness for this woman.
Perhaps it was because of her gentle way of speaking, or perhaps it was because she was very beautiful.
"Never mind then, you can have it," Yan Buyu told the shop assistant to help her take it off, "but you don't need to order it for me."
The woman thanked her again.
When Si Jingxu returned after making the call, he saw that Yan Buyu had changed into a pair of sunflower earrings. "Did you wrap those up?"
"No, I gave it to someone else."
Si Jingxu's brows furrowed deeply. "You can even give that up?"
Yan Buyu patiently explained the whole story, "I had a good first impression of her. Anyway, it doesn't have any special meaning, so it doesn't matter if I give it to her. This brand is also available in Beijing. I can buy it again when I get back."
Si Jingxu didn't like her personality, even though she clearly liked it a lot, and this still made her give up.
But she had just recovered from a serious illness, and he couldn't bring himself to lecture her.
Moreover, it's a matter of personality. She's kind and naive, and she'll compromise if someone speaks nicely to her.
"Wrap up all the other styles with feathers," Si Jingxu instructed the saleswoman without asking Yan Buyu.
Silence: ...
They've gone mad, they've all gone mad. Birds of a feather flock together. My older brother buys things like this, and so does he.
They'll pack up the leftovers at the drop of a hat.
She wasn't obsessed with feathers, but her brother Jingxu seemed to be completely infatuated with them.
Before leaving, the saleswoman handed over a bag. "Madam, this is a small gift from that lady earlier. It's a pair of classic diamond stud earrings."
It was a bit unexpected that he remained silent.
On the way back, he silently fiddled with his newly bought feather bracelet.
This is the piece that Si Jingxu picked out from among all the jewelry and personally put on her hand.
"Do you like it?" Si Jingxu couldn't help but smile as he looked at her.
"I like it, it's sparkly, I like everything about it."
"Then why did you give the earring to someone else?" Si Jingxu was still resentful; his little feather hadn't immediately taken the thing he liked.
I should have known better than to answer his grandfather's call. If he were here, I definitely wouldn't have let him.
"Okay, okay," Yan Buyu said with a smile, "I know Brother Jingxu is afraid that I will feel wronged, but I really don't mind. She has a good attitude and her words make me feel comfortable, so I am willing to give in."
Si Jingxu couldn't stand her acting so coquettishly, "I'll have someone find one for you in the capital."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Jingxu." Yan Buyu's voice was soft and sweet.
"I'm going to visit an old friend of my grandfather's tomorrow, so I won't be able to come with you. I've already spoken to your older brother, and he's fine and can keep an eye on you."
Yan Buyu was both amused and exasperated. She wasn't a three-year-old child anymore; after one bout of gastroenteritis, she couldn't even move around on her own anymore.
The next day, Si Jingxu disappeared early in the morning. Shen Yunqi went to discuss the project by herself, leaving only her and her older brother behind.
"Buyu, change into a more formal dress. Your older brother will introduce you to someone today." After saying that, Shen Yanzhou added, "Not some random person, but someone very important to me."
While Yan Buyu was changing clothes, I guessed that he must be my older brother's good friend.
She chose a black dress that was sure to be a safe bet, wore her newly bought sunflower earrings, and a diamond feather bracelet that Si Jingxu had given her.
She wore light makeup, five-centimeter high heels, and her hair was tied up, exuding a gentle and elegant charm.
Shen Yanzhou didn't hold back his praise, "We look so beautiful when we're silent."
“Brother, you look very handsome today,” Yan Buyu praised. “You look even more handsome in a light-colored suit than a dark one. Why don’t you try a white one next time?”
After she finished speaking, a figure came to mind.
Si Jingxu often wears white suits and casual wear, which makes him look dashing and handsome.
“Okay, let’s try next time. Let’s go.” Shen Yanzhou stretched out his arm for his sister to lean on, and slowed his pace to match hers.
The agreed-upon location was a high-end restaurant.
Shen Yanzhou had booked a private room in advance, but when they arrived, the other party had not yet shown up.
"Big brother, who is it?" she asked the whole way, but her brother remained mysterious.
He just smiled and shook his head.
Sure enough, "You'll find out soon enough."
The waiter outside the private room knocked on the door, opened it, and gestured for the guests to enter.
The lady nodded gracefully in thanks and slowly walked in.
"Hello, Yanzhou." She was very polite.
"Hello, Ms. Qi." He was very polite.
Only Yan Buyu stood frozen in place. Was it her?
Ms. Qi glanced at Yan Buyu next to Chen Yanzhou, and was surprised for a second.
Shen Yanzhou invited her to sit down and politely introduced her, "Ms. Qi, this is my younger sister, Yan Buyu, whom I often mention to you."
He then looked tenderly at Yan Buyu, "Buyu, this is someone I want to introduce to you. You can call her Ms. Qi, just like I do. She is my mother."
The nerves in Yan Buyu's mind were throbbing.
She could understand each word her older brother said, but she didn't quite understand them when they were put together.
Why be so polite to your own mother?
Moreover, was the older brother's mother the beautiful lady who gave him the earrings that day?
"Hello, Ms. Qi, you can just call me Buyu." After a moment's hesitation, Buyu accepted the fact and, not wanting to embarrass her older brother, quickly greeted him politely.
Ms. Qi was equally gentle, smiling and nodding at her, "Hello, Buyu, thank you for before."
Shen Yanzhou, who was refilling tea, looked at Ms. Qi with puzzlement, "Have you met Bu Yu?"
