949: 687, there’s no ti to tell a more dramatic story_2 949: 687, there’s no ti to tell a more dramatic story_2 Just over ten minutes into shopping, Zou Luoxia’s lifelong worldview shattered.
She finally understood why East Sea was the most developed city in the country; the items here could easily cost an ordinary family’s annual inco with just a slip.
“East Sea really has a lot of rich people.”
Watching the bustling crowd up and down the floors, Zou Luoxia couldn’t help but comnt.
If such a shopping center were in Qin Island, it probably wouldn’t see this kind of popularity, simply because how many could afford that?
Most wouldn’t even dare to step inside just to look.
“It’s not that there are many rich people in East Sea, but there are also many fighters striving here; however, those you see here are indeed the wealthy ones.”
The way her niece put it, it sounded almost philosophical?
“Aunt, you and my mom should choose so clothes.”
Li Shuru continued.
Zou Luoxia’s heart trembled.
Choose clothes?
Just now in so store whose na she couldn’t recall—just a few English words—she had liked a scarf, but then she saw the price tag and her face twitched.
It was actually one hundred eighty thousand.
At the ti, she thought she was seeing things, but after checking multiple tis, it was no mistake.
One scarf, indeed close to two hundred thousand, could buy a car!
If a scarf was this expensive, clothes would be unthinkable!
“I have plenty of clothes, way too many to wear, I really don’t need to buy any,” Zou Luoxia said with a forced smile.
“A woman’s closet is always missing one piece of clothing.
There’s no such thing as too many clothes.
Aunt, you’re rarely here, don’t be polite with .”
Hearing this, Zou Luoxia was overjoyed.
She obviously understood what her niece ant.
Excited as she was, but still as an elder, she couldn’t be too disgraceful; thus, Zou Luoxia reluctantly responded, “Rui Rui, this isn’t quite right…”
Before Li Shuru could reply, Xue Mingqin stepped in first, smiling, “What’s not right about it?
You are the elder, and she is the junior; it’s proper for her to give gifts to the elder.”
For parents, this should be the most gratifying mont.
As for the cost, it was ultimately unimportant.
“Aunt, Jiang Chen also said to take good care of you and mom; if you don’t buy anything, he’ll surely scold for being stingy,” Li Shuru joked.
Both Zou Luoxia and Xue Mingqin burst into laughter.
“Little Jiang really is a good kid.”
The label of a good kid increased by one again.
“So, sis, shall we enjoy our ti shopping?”
Zou Luoxia, excitedly looking at her cousin,
True.
Her niece was now invaluably wealthy.
The items here were sky-high for her but might be negligible for her niece.
Xue Mingqin nodded.
Leading the two elders, they walked into a luxury store, and Li Shuru’s mobile phone suddenly rang.
Observing the two elders excitedly browsing with the sales associate, Li Shuru walked over to a seating area and answered the call.
“This is Wei Chuyin.”
“I know.”
Having dealt with her in the ga plagiarism scandal, Li Shuru responded calmly, “What’s up?”
There was silence for a mont at the other end.
“Can we et face-to-face?”
Li Shuru, one hand around her chest and the other holding the phone, “Not really convenient.”
After a pause, she continued, “You can tell now if you have sothing.”
“Can’t explain over the phone, can only discuss in person.”
Wei Chuyin didn’t use “CEO Li” but instead called her “Li Xue i.”
“Li Xue i, for the sake of us being alumni, please et ; it won’t take much of your ti, just five minutes, and then I’ll leave.”
Li Shuru was silent.
Wei Chuyin, who had once faced insults from her, clenched her teeth, ready to completely set aside her pride when a voice suddenly ca through the phone.
“Nanjing Impression City, call when you arrive.”
“Thank you!”
Li Shuru put down the phone and walked towards her mother.
————
“Why don’t we pick sothing for Uncle?”
What’s called one person achieving enlightennt elevates the whole family;
This was it.
Facing her niece’s kindness, already having chosen two pieces of clothing, Zou Luoxia truly felt sowhat embarrassed.
She even just found out so stores didn’t display prices at all; aning you couldn’t see the price.
Like the two pieces she chose.
It was all done by her niece directly taking out a card to pay at the sales counter.
“Then let’s buy a belt for your Uncle; he’s not particular about clothes, buying for him is also a waste.”
Zou Luoxia, after all, still had a sense of sha, which made her stronger than most greedy people.
“Ding…”
The text ssage sounded.
Li Shuru looked at it and imdiately said to her mother, “Mom, you and aunt go ahead, I’m going to et a friend and will be right back.”
She handed a card to Xue Mingqin.
“Alright, go ahead.”
Xue Mingqin didn’t ask further.
Zou Luoxia stared straight at the card in her cousin’s hand.
Such a small card, perhaps carrying a wealth she could never reach in her lifeti.
“Aunt, I’ll be back soon.”
Zou Luoxia quickly shifted her gaze and squeezed out a smile at her niece, “No worries, go do what you need to.”
Li Shuru left and exited Imprint City, arriving at a nearby cafe.
Wei Chuyin was sitting at a rather conspicuous spot.
Li Shuru approached her.
“Sit.”
Wei Chuyin got up tensely to greet her, “Would you like anything to drink?”
“No need.”
Li Shuru sat down.
After the other party slowly took her seat again, she then said, “Wei Senior, do you have an urgent matter?”
Hearing this address of ‘Wei Senior,’ Wei Chuyin’s heart swelled with a tumult of emotions.
By today, she held no animosity towards this girl.
In fact,
she even felt sowhat grateful.
She really had no obligation to care for her at all.
“I know this isn’t sothing I should ask you, but I have no other choice.”
Li Shuru did not interrupt, waiting for her to continue.
“Li Xue i, I beg you to help .
Tell Jiang Chen to help find Ai Qian.”
Li Shuru’s expression didn’t change much, but her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Is Ai Senior missing?”
“Not missing, but uncontactable; she’s cut off contact with all of us, and we can’t reach her.”
“Why would she do that?”
Li Shuru stared at her once-seemingly familiar senior.
Wei Chuyin did not answer, but earnestly said, “Li Xue i, maybe only Jiang Chen can find Ai Qian now.”
Li Shuru fell silent for a mont.
“Wei Senior, don’t you think your request is a bit…
ill-tid?”
Wei Chuyin obviously understood.
Any woman, faced with this situation, would likely find it hard to accept.
“If there were any other way, I would never bother you.”
“Ai Senior is an adult, she wouldn’t disappear without a reason, and cutting off contact with everyone proves it was her own choice.
Moreover, Jiang Chen has long parted ways with her, and he has no obligation to concern himself with her affairs now.”
Li Shuru spoke evenly and calmly.
“I know.
Please, just based on our past acquaintance, help locate her, will you?”
Wei Chuyin’s pupils quivered.
“Wei Senior, if you were , what would you do?”
After saying that, Li Shuru made a move to stand up, ready to leave.
“Snap.”
Wei Chuyin tightly grasped her wrist.
Li Shuru stopped and turned around.
“I know, this request is extrely excessive for you, but please, consider it as begging you.
I will do anything you ask.
I once insulted you; you can hit , yell at , and I won’t resist.”
Wei Chuyin kept her head down, holding onto Li Shuru’s hand, her face unseen and her expression unclear, only her trembling voice could be heard.
“Let go.”
Li Shuru remained calm, not seizing this excellent opportunity for revenge.
Wei Chuyin was silent, not letting go but instead gripping even tighter.
Li Shuru frowned and shook off her hand.
“The past is the past, and everyone should look forward.”
It was unclear whether she was telling the other party to no longer dwell on the animosities of the past, or if she was implying sothing else.
After speaking, Li Shuru, who had stayed for about five minutes, turned and walked out of the cafe.
“She’s dying!”
A sobbing voice ca from behind.
Li Shuru abruptly stopped.
Wei Chuyin slowly raised her head.
“She has leukemia, not much ti left.
I’m not here for any other reason but to avoid letting her hide and die alone.”
After speaking, Wei Chuyin’s face was already streaming with tears.
Li Shuru, with her back to her, stood still, her expression wooden.
