Li An’an was flabbergasted! She thought that the woman would produce a check bearing a huge sum of money.
“Have you considered what I said?” Bai Dong asked again after a while. She actually wanted an answer from her. It didn’t matter even if Li An’an couldn’t decide, she had plenty of time.
Li An’an thought about how she was going to put this across. She did not have that kind of relationship with Chu Yichen. Chu Yichen treated her like his lover and probably never thought of marrying her.
Seeing that she was silent, Bai Dong’s gaze rested on her face. “What brand of skincare do you use?” she suddenly asked. Li An’an’s skin looked fair and flawless. She was looking for a skincare product that could keep her skin young and moisturized.
“It’s not a big name. It’s a domestic brand, but the user feedback is good. I’ve been using it for years.” “And your lipstick?”
“Lankou 132.”
“Very good. Take me to buy it!” Bai Dong picked up her platinum bag and stretched her tired neck. Then she signaled Li An’an to follow her and they left the teahouse together.
After they got into the Maybach, the car drove towards the mall.
Li An’an didn’t expect this turn of events, so she had no choice but to bring the woman to a state-owned store to buy some skincare products.
She would buy her facial cleanser and moisturizer only at this shop. She bought a set every time and would come back for a new set after finishing the old one.
However, Chu Yichen’s mother almost emptied the store. The staff members were stunned. Whether it was eye cream, moisturizer or essence, as long as it was this particular brand, the woman bought 10 sets of each.
Although this was not a luxury brand name, each item cost hundreds ot yuan.
“Auntie, do you want to buy less? If you think it’s suitable and useful, you can buy more in the future!” Li An’an tried to persuade her.
These would probably last more than a year.
Bai Dong smiled sheepishly at Li An’an’s persuasion. “That’s how I buy things.
I’m used to it. Let’s go and buy lipstick.”
Li An’an sighed. This was wealth indeed.
After that, the two of them left the mall and the car headed for the specialty store.
As expected, she bought ten sets of lipstick gift boxes. The shop assistant looked taken aback even as they walked out of the shop. In the afternoon, Li An’an felt that it was about time.
“Auntie, I have to go home.”
“Yes, I’ve bought enough today too.” Bai Dong got into the car. “I’m very happy today. You’re a good shopping partner. If there’s a chance, let’s go shopping together again. But I will not agree to you being with my son, this won’t change!”
“I know, Auntie.” Li An’an did not think that she’d be able to gain the other party’s approval just by doing this.
Bai Dong was also tired and instructed Butler Chu to drive her home.
But suddenly, the woman spoke again. “I heard from Butler Chu that you’re a good cook. Prepare a dish and send it over tomorrow. Remember, I don’t eat spicy food. I won’t eat onions, ginger, or garlic either!”
Li An’an was speechless. This woman must have forgotten that she was here to put her in her place.
“Alright, once it’s ready I’ll get Butler Chu to send it over tomorrow!”
Only then was Bai Dong satisfied and instructed Butler Chu to start driving.
Li An’an watched as the car drove away. She bent over and moved her feet. She had been walking around in her high heels for the entire afternoon, and had to mind her manners on top of that. She was exhausted.
She had thought that Chu Yichen’s mother would be high and mighty and unreasonable. In the end, she was far from what Li An’an had expected. Although she would not change her mind, she did not embarrass her.
She found a place to sit and waited for her feet to stop hurting before standing up. It was four o’clock in the afternoon. It was time for her to pick up the children.
She had just stepped onto the kerb as Chu Yichen’s car pulled up. The car stopped and he pushed open the car door. Li An’an had no choice but to get into the car.
“What did you and my mother talk about?” Chu Yichen already knew that they went shopping together, so he was not troubled. Otherwise, he would have come long ago.
“She persuaded me to do the obvious thing and leave you.”
Chu Yichen noticed that she looked tired. He reached out for a lock of hair that had fallen across her face and tucked it behind her ears. “How did you answer?”
“I didn’t answer.”
Chu Yichen was very satisfied. “Well done.” It saved him the trouble of educating her on what she should and should not do.
“May I make a request.”
“Go ahead!”
“Stop your mother from making me her shopping partner.”
“I’m afraid I can’t.. My father doesn’t like walking and I find shopping with her troublesome!”
