Chapter 11 I am Mu Cheng
Under the urging of her three children and the salesperson, Li Xu finally went into the store and changed her clothes.
When Li Xu was changing clothes in the dressing room, the salesperson gave candy to the three children.
Ji Zixuan waved his hands like a little adult: "Thank you, Auntie, I don't want to eat."
Ji Ziang, the glutton, grinned and said, "I'll help big brother eat."
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Ziang and shook her head helplessly: Ji Ziang was really unlikable when he was a child.
Ji Yuanyuan stuffed the candy in her hand into Ji Ziang's hand, in return for a flattering smile.
Ji Yuanyuan looked outside with some boredom. Outside the shop, a ragged boy walked by hurriedly, as if he was avoiding something.
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously thought: Looking at the boy’s clothes, he seems to be a beggar. Did he come in to steal something and is being chased by someone?
However, Ji Yuanyuan's thoughts were quickly interrupted by Li Xu.
She came out of the dressing room, stroking her clothes awkwardly.
"This doesn't seem to suit me..." She had an awkward smile on her face.
She just looked at the tag and found that the dress costs one hundred and twenty yuan.
Besides, she had never worn anything like this before.
Ji Yuanyuan's eyes lit up: "Mom, this dress is very beautiful and suits you very well."
Ji Zixuan looked it up and down and nodded in appreciation: "Mom, let's buy this one."
Ji Ziang stuffed candy in his mouth and spoke vaguely: "Mom, you look like a movie star when you wear this."
Li Xu smiled bitterly: "This dress doesn't suit me, let's forget it."
As she said this, she was about to turn around. Ji Yuanyuan was about to step forward to stop her, but she saw the salesperson holding Li Xu's hand and saying, "Sister, wait a moment."
She quickly brought out rubber bands, hairpins and a comb: "Your hair doesn't suit. I'll change your hairstyle."
At this time, Li Xu had her hair tied in a low ponytail, with the hair in front of her forehead scattered, which naturally did not look good.
Li Xu was pulled by the salesperson to sit down, and with the other's skillful hands, her low ponytail was quickly tied up.
Li Xu seemed like a completely different person.
She stood in front of the mirror, a little dazed.
“Sister, women can’t be reluctant to spend money. Men, no matter how old they are, like beautiful and exquisite women. If you are reluctant, there are plenty of people out there who will spend money for you…” The salesperson standing beside her muttered.
When Li Xu heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
In fact, when she was young, she was much prettier than Chen Mei.
However, she was a down-to-earth person. Since she gave birth to Ji Zixuan, she no longer paid attention to dressing herself up. She washed her face with water every day without applying anything, and she hadn't bought any clothes for many years.
"I bought it." Li Xu said lightly with a firm tone.
Yes, if a woman doesn’t love herself, who will love you?
When Li Xu came out of the store, she had a bag in her hand.
Those were her old clothes, and she was still wearing the blue suit.
It was Ji Yuanyuan's request, saying that she looked good in the dress and refused to let her take it off.
Li Xu took the three children to buy some food before planning to go home.
However, as soon as I walked out of the mall, I saw some people gathered in front of me.
"Let me go. This man is a human trafficker. I am not his son..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Even though your mother and I are divorced, I will always be your father. Come home with me and don't go to your mother's place again."
"I'm really not his son. I'm from City B. I was kidnapped by him."
…
Ji Yuanyuan passed by and didn't take it seriously. When she heard about City B, she suddenly thought of something.
She remembered that in her previous life, when Ji Jianguo brought them here to buy clothes, she saved a little boy.
She ran around and accidentally bumped into the little boy. Ji Jianguo ran over to apologize, and the boy took the opportunity to ask Ji Jianguo for help.
Ji Jianguo called the police and later learned that the boy's family was from City B and had some money. Because of some business disputes, the only son in the family was kidnapped and brought to this place.
Later, the boy's family sent someone to give Ji Jianguo some money, and then he resigned and started a business with the money.
Ji Yuanyuan held Li Xu's hand and whispered, "Mom, let's save that brother. That uncle is a bad guy."
Li Xu was a little surprised: "How do you know? That uncle is the kid's father."
Ji Yuanyuan was a little anxious: "No, that uncle is a bad guy."
Li Xu hesitated for a moment, but still squeezed into the crowd with her three children.
This boy was the ragged boy that Ji Yuanyuan saw at the door of the women's clothing store just now.
The boy's face gradually overlapped with the one in his memory from his previous life.
She was almost certain that this boy was the boy that Ji Jianguo saved in his previous life.
"Brother Goudan, why are you here? Who is this uncle?" Seeing that the man was about to take the boy away, Ji Yuanyuan spoke quickly.
The boy was also very smart and reacted quickly. He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said, "This uncle is a bad guy. Go find my parents."
Ji Yuanyuan looked a little anxious: "Brother Goudan, wait a minute. I'll be there soon..."
Li Xu looked at the crowd and said, "I know this boy. He is my neighbor's child."
The crowd of onlookers then realized that the man was actually a human trafficker.
People of this era are very enthusiastic.
Seeing this, several tall male onlookers stepped forward and tried to catch the man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man turned around and ran away.
A few people chased after him, but lost him in a few seconds.
It is obvious that the man is a martial artist.
The boy looked very embarrassed, but very polite. He looked at Li Xu and said, "Thank you for saving me. Leave me your phone number. When I find my family, I will ask them to repay you."
Li Xu shook his head: "It's just a small favor, we don't need you to repay us."
After a pause, she asked again: "Do you remember where your home is? I'll take you to the police station?"
The boy shook his head: "I remember the phone number at home. I want to make a call."
Li Xu looked around and soon saw a small shop along the street with a telephone.
"Let's go, it's over there." Li Xu pointed.
The boy nodded slightly and followed Li Xu over there.
Ji Yuanyuan's hand was held by Ji Zixuan, but her eyes were always on the boy.
Why does this boy's face look so familiar? I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
Ji Zixuan asked in a low voice: "Yuanyuan, what's wrong with you? Are you tired? Do you want your brother to carry you?"
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head thoughtfully.
At that time, mobile phones were not yet popular, and only a few rich people had cell phones and pagers.
However, there are many small shops on the street, and there are landlines in the shops. You have to pay for making calls, usually 40 to 50 cents per minute.
The boy picked up the phone and dialed the number skillfully. Within two seconds, the call was answered.
"Grandpa, it's me, I'm Mu Cheng, I'm fine..."
