âThe child has already apologized, and itâs crowded here today, she was bumped into from behind. What do you want, anyway?â Ye Xiaomeng, seeing the distressed look on Joyâs face, immediately raised her head and glared at Tong Fei fiercely.
Tong Fei, in her stylish outfit and sunglasses, looked like a fashionable woman. She wore a serious expression and said, âYouâre her mother? Children need to be educated from a young age. Your parenting seems to have failed miserably.â
âLook at you all dressed up and yet speaking so harshly?â Ye Xiaomeng appeared unwilling to back down. She hadnât expected this person, who looked so polished, to be so unreasonable.
Seeing that Song Can didnât say anything on the side, Tong Fei couldnât continue acting unreasonably.
âAuntie, are you okay?â Tong Fei observed Song Can carefully.
âOh, Iâm fine. I was lost in thought just now.â Song Can shook her head while looking at Tong Fei, and suddenly, she remembered. The girlâs eyebrows and eyes resembled Shaotingâs. No wonder she looked so familiar.
She felt like she was going a bit crazy, how could the girl resemble Shaoting?
Well, maybe she was just imagining things, wishing for a grandchild so much that she was seeing things.
They should get married soon and have children.
âLittle girl, Granny is fine. Be more careful next time,â Song Can, who usually had a serious demeanor, rarely showed such kindness to a child.
Seeing how Song Can spoke, Tong Fei didnât say much more.
She held Song Canâs hand and urged, âAuntie, letâs go. Itâs time for our appointment, and we shouldnât be late.â
âAlright, letâs go.â As they left, Song Can couldnât help but cast one more glance at Joy.
Once they were gone, Ye Xiaomeng squatted down to check on Joy. âJoy, donât be afraid. It wasnât your fault, and that lady said itâs okay, right? Letâs go. Your mommy is probably on her way to find us.â
âOkay, letâs go quickly, so mommy can find us easily.â The little girl brightened up when she talked about her mom.
âTong Fei, Shaoting is usually very busy, and I guess youâre the one handling a lot of the engagement preparations,â Song Can said apologetically. Although Gu Shaoting had agreed to the engagement, he was always indecisive when it came to wedding planning. He claimed to be busy and let them make decisions themselves.
That was why they were here today picking out the engagement ring, and when she mentioned it to him this morning, he seemed indifferent.
âLet them choose themselves. As long as they like it, price isnât an issue.â He thought.
He just didnât understand the significance of an engagement ring for women and for marriage.
This morning, Tong Fei knew that Gu Shaoting was too busy to accompany her to choose the ring, and she looked disappointed all day. Song Can couldnât bear to see her like this, so she spent the day with her.
âItâs okay, Auntie. I understand that Shaoting is busy. Itâs the same if we choose it ourselves. Sometimes, menâs tastes are unreliable,â Tong Fei showed an understanding smile.
âIf you can understand, thatâs good. Later, Iâll have the manager bring over the best, shiniest, and biggest diamond ring for you to choose from,â Song Can patted Tong Feiâs hand and said confidently.
âGreat,â Tong Fei smiled and nodded.
When Shu Pan finally arrived, both Ye Xiaomeng and Joy were exhausted from shopping. Ye Xiaomeng suggested finding a place to have a drink and rest their feet.
Shu Pan said with a touch of annoyance, âI told you not to go through so much trouble, spending all this money.â
âItâs nothing. The most important thing is that we ran into someone who thinks too highly of herself. She really ruined the mood,â Ye Xiaomeng grumbled, still frustrated..
