At this point, the old lady felt that she had committed a serious crime. Naturally, she felt a little more compassion for Xia Xingchen. She quickly called the old man and told him not to misunderstand her again.
The old man was not good at speaking, and although he was upset, he didn't say a word and just hung up the phone.
As a result, Xia Xingchen let the old lady drag him from one shopping mall to another for the entire afternoon.
Her legs were sore from walking, but the old lady was surprisingly energetic and was simply an expert at shopping.
The old lady even looked down on her, "With your body, you are so young and don't exercise more. What will happen in the future? I think you should set aside time every Saturday starting from next week."
"What are you doing with the time?"
"Come out for some shopping!"
Oops.
The old lady glared at her again, "Don't think that I'm the old lady who wants you to accompany me. I'm just accompanying you out of kindness. Otherwise, I have a lot of things to do!"
Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The more he interacted with the Bai family, the more he felt that these two old people were really lovely people.
"Yes, yes, you are the best person." Xia Xingchen echoed the old lady's words.
The old lady was happy and smiled, "That's pretty good."
…
The old lady first bought all kinds of clothes for her precious grandson, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, leaving nothing out.
Xia Xingchen thought it was expensive. Besides, the child was only four years old and was growing taller every day. The clothes would not last for many days. After persuading the old lady several times, the old lady hummed, "If you can't wear it, keep it. When Su Ye has a baby, you can still wear it."
Xia Xingchen didn't believe her. By the time Sister Su Ye's baby was born, these clothes would have been out of date. Would the old lady still be willing to let her precious grandson wear them
Knowing that she couldn't persuade him, she stopped trying. As a result, the old lady bought clothes for her grandson and then chose for her.
Xia Xingchen refused to accept it, and the old lady looked very unhappy. "When I give things away, I have never seen anyone refuse them! Do you think this dress is so unpopular?"
The old lady had never seen anyone like her. In the past, when she helped her son choose a wife, she would take the girl she thought was suitable out for shopping and give her gifts. Who wouldn't be happy to accept the gifts? But she was so silly that she didn't even know to accept the good things.
However, the old lady felt that this made him look more pleasing to the eye. At least, he was not the kind of person who was greedy for profit.
Of course, the most important thing is that she can accompany me shopping. She has good taste.
Unlike my daughter Su Ye...
Being busy with this and that all day, he had very little time to spend with her. Not to mention going out shopping every week, it was good enough if they could go a few times a year. Because of this, the old lady liked Xia Xingchen even more.
Xia Xingchen didn't want to spoil the old lady's fun, so she said, "If you insist on giving it to me, I'll take it. But I already have quite a few clothes..."
"How can a woman complain about having too many clothes? I tell you, don't be too confident and think that you are young and you don't need to dress up to look good, and you can charm my Ye Qing to death." The old lady said this, glanced at her fair face, and murmured, "It's true that you are young, and you look good in anything you wear."
Xia Xingchen smiled and bowed playfully, "I am deeply honored by your compliments, Madam."
"But you can't be complacent." The old lady had a stern face and asked someone to pack up the clothes that were picked for her. She said, "Although you are pretty, there are many pretty women out there. Our Ye Qing is very popular. Think about it, there was Song Weiyi before, and now there is Lan Ye. Which one is not pretty? If you don't dress up now, my son might really fall in love with another woman. By then, you won't even have a place to cry."
Xia Xingchen's face was filled with black lines.
Isn't this really trying to sow discord between me and my son? How can a mother be like this
"Did you listen to me?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old lady slapped her hand in annoyance.
Xia Xingchen came back to his senses and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, you are right."
"Do you still want that thing?"
"Yes. You taught me to please men with my beauty, so how dare I refuse?"
The old lady snorted, "This is what old people say. Just listen to it!"
… … …
After shopping for clothes, the old lady looked at the ring on her hand. Xia Xingchen was unsure of what the old lady meant by that look.
In fact, the old lady had seen the ring from the beginning, but she didn't say anything because she didn't ask. Unexpectedly, the old lady noticed it now.
"Take the ring off."
The old lady suddenly said.
Xia Xingchen was confused, not knowing whether the old lady would not allow them to get married. However, this was his engagement ring, and she would not be willing to give it up if the old lady confiscated it.
He just bent his fingers and didn't move.
The old lady saw through her reluctance at a glance and said, "Stingy girl. You're just unwilling to part with it?"
"no… "
After all, this ring has a different meaning.
"Just now I thought you weren't a profit-seeking person, but I see, you don't seek small profits, but big profits."
Xia Xingchen really felt wronged.
The old lady actually just said that casually, and she didn't care whether she was willing or not, and directly took off her ring. Xia Xingchen wanted to struggle a few more times, but was afraid that the old lady would say that she was greedy, so she resisted the urge to do it.
After the old lady took off the ring, she really put it on her hand.
Xia Xingchen bit her lip. The old lady waved her finger in front of her, "Does it look good?"
Do you think it looks good
She really didn't want to say it. She was afraid that the old lady would not want to return the ring to her. It was an engagement ring! If she just gave it to the old lady, regardless of how she felt, she wouldn't be able to get past Bai Yeqing.
That man is bound to be furious.
Say it doesn’t look good
She didn't dare to say it. If she pissed off the old lady, she would probably be no better than the old man if she got angry.
Xia Xingchen stood there, feeling very conflicted. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old lady nudged her with her elbow again, "Why are you daydreaming? I want to ask you if you think you look good."
"Please give it back to me. This is a wedding ring. You must have one too. You know it has a different meaning."
It would have been fine if she didn't say this. As soon as she said this, the old lady's face became even uglier and she glared at her.
She was innocent and knew that she had offended even the old lady.
sigh.
I don't know if this marriage can be completed.
The old lady took the ring off her hand and threw it back to Xia Xingchen. She took out her cell phone and made a call. After a while, she said, "Old man, don't you think you owe me something after all these years of marriage?"
"A ring! I've been with you for so many years, and I don't even have a wedding ring, let alone a wedding!"
"What's wrong with being old? I am no longer a woman just because I am old?! Can't you learn from your son? Look at him..."
The old lady's eyes drifted to Xia Xingchen's fingers again.
