Lin Qingping and Gu Juncheng

Chapter 233 Shopping Mall

The Wen family members all looked over at the same time, and saw that Wen Xiao was holding a box of white things, which were stacked together like wings.

"What is this?" The Wen family didn't recognize the words, but they saw the writing on the box. "Bird's nest?"

"Yes!" Wenxiao said excitedly, "This...this is much better than what I bought in Hong Kong..."

She had barely finished speaking when she noticed her Hong Kong man's expression darken, so Wen Xiao didn't dare to continue and immediately shut her mouth.

The Wen family understood what was going on. In fact, Wen Xiao had brought back bird's nest to show off how well she was doing in Hong Kong. She said it was for her mother and sister-in-law, but she actually brought only broken pieces of bird's nest. So, the Wen family didn't recognize that what Wen Xiao was holding was bird's nest at first glance.

So this is what a complete bird's nest looks like...

Moreover, there wasn't a single impurity! Wen Xiao didn't say this aloud. She wouldn't even buy such good food for herself in Gangcheng, and her neck would hurt from picking out every single feather!

"What else? Let's take another look?" Sister-in-law Wen's curiosity was piqued. To be honest, she felt quite pleased to see her sister-in-law get the short end of the stick. After all, she loved to show off as soon as she got back.

Wen Xiao continued rummaging through her bundle and took out another box. When she opened it, she saw that it contained sea cucumbers.

The head and its condition are both top-notch.

The Wen family recognized this stuff, but they had never eaten it before. In any case, they knew that this big box was much more expensive than what was on their table.

So, it seems Zhiyuan wasn't just bragging when he said his family roasts a whole lamb...

"Tsk tsk." Sister-in-law Wen looked at Zhiyuan and couldn't help but say, "Zhiyuan, is your family very rich?"

Zhiyuan looked blank. "I don't know."

True, what do children know...?

Sister-in-law Wen thought to herself, "Then, doesn't your mother feel bad about giving us all these things?"

“I have plenty of these at home. My mom just grabbed them, saying these two boxes are light and easy for a child like me to carry,” Zhiyuan said.

Zhiyuan didn't know that. If he had known these things were expensive, he wouldn't have agreed to let his mother bring them over. He thought they were cheap because they didn't look big!

When the Wen family heard that there was still a lot more, their eyes widened. Wasn't this family from the countryside? Where did they get so much money?

Sister-in-law Wen smiled and said, "Zhiyuan, come and eat this. This poached chicken is delicious. Your mother made it especially for you. It's a dish from Hong Kong."

"Okay." Zhiyuan reached out with his right hand to pick up some food, revealing the mark on his wrist.

"You actually have a watch?" Wen Xiao grabbed his hand, extremely surprised. This kind of digital watch was very popular among kids in Hong Kong. "Where did you get this watch?"

Zhiyuan thought for a moment and then told the truth, "My aunt gave it to me."

It was given to me by Aunt Wu.

Wen Xiao looked very uncomfortable. Her husband's two children in Hong Kong had also been begging for this watch, but they had to plead with him for a long time before he finally bought it for them. What kind of person is he! Giving a watch to his children so casually!

"Let's eat, let's eat!" Grandpa Wen said hurriedly, hoping to maintain harmony and not destroy any hope of bringing the child back.

Although the Wen family members had their own thoughts, they all listened to the head of the family and sat down.

To be honest, the Wen family's reunion dinner on New Year's Eve was never as lavish as today's. Adults and children alike were eager to eat, devouring their food with gusto. Zhiyuan, on the other hand, was remarkably well-mannered.

After dinner, the Wen family went shopping.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many shops were closed, but the Capital Department Store was open.

So, the family took Zhiyuan, who was carrying his schoolbag, and went into the Capital Department Store.

Since I had just eaten and wasn't hungry yet, I strolled around the floors to digest my food.

Women love to shop. Anyway, the two sisters-in-law of the Wen family knew the prices of the clothes. The eldest sister-in-law really liked a piece of clothing and even asked the sales assistant to take it down for her to try on. She thought it looked great, but when she saw the price, she felt like her heart was being torn apart.

In fact, the eldest son of the Wen family also thought she looked good in the clothes. In fact, the second son of the Wen family even encouraged his wife to try them on as well. So, the eldest son of the Wen family came over to check the price. When he saw it, his face changed and he scolded his sister-in-law, "Why don't you take it off for me? I'll sell you here to pay off the debt and see if that's enough!"

The sister-in-law felt wronged and could only slowly take off her clothes; every extra second she wore them was precious...

She kept glancing at her sister-in-law, thinking, "Didn't she brag about being rich? Why don't you buy her something?"

However, Wen Xiao didn't look at her at all and couldn't accept her gaze at all.

Enraged, she ripped off her clothes: "He was faking it! Pretending not to see me! Pretending to be rich! What a big shot!"

The second son of the Wen family quietly asked his eldest brother how much the clothes cost. After his eldest brother told him, the second son was speechless and didn't even let his wife try them on.

"Never mind, let's go get some dessert," said Wen's second sister-in-law. Just looking at these clothes and not being able to afford them is just irritating, isn't it?

To get dessert, you have to go up one floor at a time.

The eldest daughter of the Wen family, with her sharp eyes, suddenly pointed to a clothing store and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that the clothes my brother is wearing?"

The Wen family looked up and all saw it.

Sure enough, this coat was hung in the most conspicuous place in the store, along with another identical men's and a long women's wool coat.

Even the scarves are a matching set!

The waiter heard the noise and saw the clothes Zhiyuan was wearing. He smiled broadly and said, "Yes, this is a new style in our store. It looks really good on you, little brother! Even better than in a magazine!"

what?

The Wen family members all changed their expressions.

They had just seen the prices of clothes at the Capital Department Store, so how could Zhiyuan be wearing such expensive clothes?

Wen Xiao thought about Zhiyuan saying that the clothes were made by Lin Qingping, and guessed that maybe Lin Qingping saw that the clothes were nice and made one herself.

She quickly pulled Zhiyuan in front of the sales clerk, completely abandoning her composure, "Could you help me check if this dress was purchased from your store?"

The waiter looked down and smiled, saying, "It's from the same brand as us, but it's not necessarily sold in our store. Our brand is sold in Shanghai and several other major cities in the south."

Sister-in-law Wen was even more direct than Wen Xiao, squeezing to the front to ask, "Take a look, did someone else copy it and make it themselves?"

The waiter had already checked and shook his head with a smile, "No, our clothes have a unique design that almost no one can replicate exactly. Besides, the brand label can tell the difference between real and fake. Furthermore, our buttons all have brand markings; it's impossible for us to make them ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law Wen's legs went weak.

She was initially against bringing her sister-in-law's child to their home, but now a new idea is popping into her head.

Wen Xiao's face was also quite pale. He had only heard that his father had given his child to a poor family in his hometown to raise, and the poor family was actually so rich!

"Alright, alright, isn't the dessert shop over there?" Grandma Wen asked, pointing to the tea shop upstairs. "Let's go upstairs."
