Lazy Cat dropped them off at the mall entrance, and Ji Niandong instructed him to leave first.
Zhou Yiqing hooked her arm and began strolling with her, and having a close friend to shop with made Ji Niandong quite happy. But when she thought about the prices here, she felt rather guilty.
Though she had now entered the entertainment industry and was Mrs. Lu, so she should pay attention to appearances, but using Little Uncle’s card to buy clothes... Well, it’s just that her own pay is too low!
Zhou Yiqing, however, was very familiar with the place and quickly picked out a few clothes that suited her, then went to pay.
Ji Niandong still browsed the store, thinking she’d come back after her paycheck, considering Little Uncle had bought a bunch of clothes last time, some of which she hadn’t even worn yet!
"Tongtong, come over here!" Zhou Yiqing waved at the cash register, "I seem to have forgotten my wallet when I left, could you help me pay first? I’ll repay you later!"
"Oh, sure! How much is it?" Ji Niandong took out her card and handed it over.
When the clerk quoted the amount, Ji Niandong was startled and tugged at Zhou Yiqing’s sleeve, saying, "I don’t think we have enough, do you want to return one?"
"How could it not be enough?" Zhou Yiqing glanced at her card, "Huh? Tongtong, did you change your card?"
"No!" Ji Niandong quickly shook her head, "I’ve only ever had this credit card, there’s not much in my bank account, I didn’t take it out!"
"Really?" Zhou Yiqing looked at her, "Maybe I remembered wrong!"
She picked out two items from the pile, "Just these, forget the rest!"
The clerk’s face changed, gave them a disdainful look, but silently completed the transaction.
"So embarrassing! Next time I must remember to bring my wallet!" Zhou Yiqing murmured as they left the store.
Ji Niandong bit her tongue, "Sorry Qingqing, I don’t have much money either!"
"Why are you apologizing? If it weren’t for you, they might have just kicked us out instead of just giving us dirty looks!" Zhou Yiqing sighed in relief, "But Tongtong, I maxed out your card, so you can’t buy anything now!"
"It’s fine, I don’t have anything I particularly want right now!"
As they were walking and laughing, Zhou Yiqing suddenly looked towards the tea café downstairs, "Huh? Isn’t that An Lin? The one who retired from the entertainment industry? Who’s that man she’s having tea with? Why are there two kids? Wasn’t it said she only had a daughter?"
Ji Niandong followed her gaze and her expression changed dramatically!
"Could it be that An Lin has more than one child? Is that man the children’s father? They look just like a family, eating here and not afraid of being seen!" Zhou Yiqing eagerly wanted to run over there.
Ji Niandong grabbed her and said, "Don’t go over! The woman with the hat might not even be An Lin, and as you said, why would she openly eat here with someone?"
"Really? Only certain angles of this restaurant are visible, but I saw her once on set before, it totally looks like her. But when you mention it, with the hat on, it doesn’t really look like her anymore. Ah, maybe I should take a picture first!" She was about to take her phone out when suddenly it rang.
"Uh, Tongtong, I’ll take this call, wait for me here for a moment!" Zhou Yiqing quickly walked away.
Ji Niandong stood where she was, staring at them intensely, thinking Little Uncle only smiled like that with her, only to find he was just as gentle with other women!
Previously An Lin had called him out on Qixi, and now they’re meeting again with their kids, so intimate!
Could An Lin have more than one child?
Zhou Yiqing’s words suddenly flashed into her mind, and Ji Niandong was stunned. In the past, there were rumors about Lu Sinian’s mother, and there was indeed mention of this Jade Girl Leader!
And they even met on Qixi, Qixi!
Ji Niandong’s hand tightened around the nearby railing, suddenly finding her mind a bit unable to process.
