chapter 48

Mrs. Gu felt awkward. She told her son that she was coming here to shop tomorrow, so if he brings Qin Yufei here to shop tomorrow, then there is a good chance they will run into each other. The son will understand this hint. He wants to arrange for her to meet Qin Yufei, of course, will seize this opportunity. This method is Mrs. Gu thought for a long time. She felt she criticized Qin Yufei in front of her son, even said she had given birth to a child in the United States, although her son said nothing, and believe that he would not be so insensitive to talk to Qin Yufei but Mrs. Gu still feel very embarrassed.

Previously, her attitude was so lofty. If she suddenly changed her attitude and said she would let Qin Yufei come at home, she felt too ashamed. In addition, come to the home is the formal hospitality, she is still somewhat reluctant. It’s fine to say she is stereotyped or say she is stubborn. Overall, she feels that this matter still needs to be left some leeway.

So in the end, it was only appropriate to arrange this as a chance encounter, not formal and not intentional, nor does it mean that she agreed to the two of them, and there was a chance to take another look at Qin Yufei. This girl, she really didn’t pay much attention because she didn’t like her type before. Now that her son likes it, she is also willing to get to know her well.

Since they are going to meet, Mrs. Gu is concerned about this. She plans to come here first to see what suitable gifts are available, and then to see what restaurants are suitable for quiet conversation. This way when they meet tomorrow, she can pretend it’s something she wants to buy, and since she ran into it, she’ll give it to Qin Yufei in passing, so it looks like she didn’t buy it on purpose, but she’s not missing her meeting gift. The restaurant is also where she is going to eat, so if they have time, they can go together. The etiquette is up, and it doesn’t seem too intimate. This kind of communication is just the right amount of warmth and relationship distance.

Just did not expect that she came over early to check on the spot, actually coincidentally met Qin Yufei. And more awkward is, because she felt embarrassed to do this kind of thing, afraid of being said that she cares too much, so she did not bring anyone, and let the driver send her, so she can not be disturbed and slowly stroll around.

Now, she is alone and met Qin Yufei, who is also alone. There is no one to help build a step in the middle.

And it’s not good enough to say ‘goodbye’ coldly, otherwise it will be too strange to see her again tomorrow with a gift and dinner. This is really, Mrs. Gu is annoyed, the plan is all disrupted.

“Um, Auntie is here for shopping?” Qin Yufei found a topic and squeezed out a knowing remark.

“Yes.” Mrs. Gu replied while also pondering the next topic, which she quickly thought of. “Where’s Ah Jie?”

“He’s on overtime.”

“Oh.”

No more. So one old and one young continued to think about the topic.

“Ah, does auntie like this belt? You can try it on. It should look good with the clothes you are wearing.” Qin Yufei saw the belt on the shelf in Mrs. Gu’s hand and said in a hurry. But after she finished, she really wanted to bite her tongue. She really, why does she look like a shopping assistant ah.

Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment, but still said, “Okay, let’s try it.” In fact, the color is too bright, she does not like it. She still likes this brown, dark pattern style she is wearing now.

Qin Yufei breathed a sigh of relief, and the shopping assistant next to her hurriedly took the belt and helped Mrs. Gu change it.

Mrs. Gu looked in the mirror and before she could say anything, Qin Yufei was already on the sidelines saying, “Let me help you.” She came over and adjusted the belt, loosened the width, tied it diagonally, lifted the hem of the shirt upward, and made folds at the waist there, then untied Mrs. Gu’s silk scarf and re-tied it in a simple and sharp style.

The long hem of the shirt became shorter, sharp silk scarf, bright belt brightened the overall effect. Mrs. Gu looked at herself in the mirror, never knowing that a belt could make a person look younger.

“This is quite nice.” Qin Yufei carefully looked at Mrs. Gu’s face from the side.

Mrs. Gu looked at the mirror for a moment and smiled. “Yes, it’s quite good. I’ll buy this belt.”

Qin Yufei was relieved. Seeing Mrs. Gu take her card out to the shopping assistant, she wanted to say that she should pay, counting her gift to the elders. But that seems presumptuous. With such hesitation, the shopping assistant has already taken Mrs. Gu’s card away and swiped it.

Qin Yufei secretly sighed, regretting that she was not decisive enough.

Mrs. Gu asked her, “Do you like anything?”

Qin Yufei froze. In fact, she just came in and spent little time looking, but if you say no, then you should have nothing to say. The good thing is that she is very familiar with this brand, this clothing style she almost known all, “Ah, I just saw a new piece, just want to try, Aunt help me see if it looks good.”

“Sure.” Mrs. Gu said. Qin Yufei was very happy. She hurriedly took a dress from the shelf. “This is it.” She gestured to her body and smiled at Mrs. Gu.

Mrs. Gu nodded, “Change into it and see.”

Qin Yufei could not hide her joy, pursed her lips and smiled. “Then I’ll go. I’ll be out soon.”

After Mrs. Gu nodded, Qin Yufei then ran to the fitting room.

Once Qin Yufei left, Mrs. Gu hurriedly relaxed and took a breath. It’s good that the beginning is going well. Looks like she won’t have to make a trip tomorrow. Why doesn’t she just do it and take advantage of her son’s absence to get the parent meeting today?

In a short while, Qin Yufei came out. The dress suited her very well, with a bright color that matched her skin tone.

“Does it look good?” Qin Yufei asked. The smile on her face was a little shy, with some nervousness and caution, a daughterly attitude. Mrs. Gu suddenly felt that she understood why her son liked Qin Yufei. In fact, she was the type that her son liked, coquettish, well-behaved and cute. The big-tempered is probably just a part of her.

“Not bad.” Mrs. Gu adjusted the word ‘very good’ to ‘not bad’ in time. She thought she couldn’t praise her too much yet, lest she mistakenly think she liked her.

Then she saw Qin Yufei smiling and laughing happily. “Then I’ll buy it. Auntie, wait for me again. I’ll go change first.” Qin Yufei ran into the changing room again and exhaled inside. Not bad, not bad, it’s going well. Qin Yufei, go for it! Qin Yufei flew to change clothes, really too nervous, want to call Gu Yingjie for comfort and encouragement, but afraid of Mrs. Gu waiting impatiently, she did not dare to waste time at all.

After leaving the fitting room, the shopping assistant came over to wrap Qin Yufei’s clothes. Qin Yufei wanted to take her card, but the shopping assistant said, “That madam has already paid.”

Mrs. Gu laughed at the side: “Anyway, it fits you, and it’s such a coincidence that we met, so consider it a gift from me to you.”

Qin Yufei froze and hurriedly said, “Then thank you, Auntie.” Buy her a gift. She should be happy, right?

Mrs. Gu was indeed quite happy. Her plans were not disrupted, the chance encounter was made, the gift was bought smoothly, not intentionally at all. It’s just that the time was brought forward from tomorrow to today. Everything else went according to her idea. She was thrilled.

Qin Yufei took the bag from the shopping assistant, looked at Mrs. Gu’s expression, and thought about what Gu Yingjie had told her. He said his mother is good at saving face and has a hard mouth and a soft heart. Qin Yufei’s heart struggled violently and finally decided that her own face was nothing. To make the elder happy is important. Who let herself fall in love with someone’s son? She is the younger generation. Lowering her stance to please the elderly is appropriate.

Qin Yufei secretly clenched her fist and gave up. For Gu Yingjie, fighting!

Mrs. Gu led Qin Yufei out of that store. She walked slowly, thinking about whether to continue after this. Because now this point in time is awkward, not yet lunchtime, can’t say that just the right time to eat and we can find a place to sit together. The relationship is not so close, and she does not want to look too intimate. How about walking together for a while, seeing a drink store and saying you are tired to take a break, sit for a while and talk to Qin Yufei, then just go home with the excuse of being tired, the task summoning your son’s girlfriend is also completed.

Mrs. Gu was just about to say something when she heard Qin Yufei say, “Auntie, can I hold you? I like to hold on to people. I hold on to my mom when I go shopping with her.”

Mrs. Gu was dumbfounded. Should the attack be so fierce? She was thinking of keeping her distance, but the other side attacked with the ‘hold on to mom’ tactic. And if she says no, how indifferent does it look to her as an elder?

Mrs. Gu was a little upset, feeling that the younger generation had set her up, but she couldn’t refuse. “Fine.” She agreed, secretly deducting some points for Qin Yufei in her heart. A girl with too much scheming, she really didn’t like too much.

Qin Yufei smiled and took Mrs. Gu’s arm, acting very affectionate. She was relieved again in her heart. She was testing Mrs. Gu. If she refused her and did not mind treating her so stiffly, then there was no need for her to say those words later. If she agreed, then she could be brave and make a cheeky move.

Qin Yufei walked with Mrs. Gu on her arm, and there was a drink store in front of her, so she said, “Auntie, are you tired? Why don’t we have a seat?”

“Okay.” Mrs. Gu replied quickly, and this proposal was just what she wanted. Sit down for a while, and then we can all say goodbye.

The two of them went to the store and sat down and ordered a drink. Qin Yufei smiled and said to Mrs. Gu, “Thank you, Auntie, for giving me that dress. I’m sorry to say that I actually came here to shop today because I wanted to find a suitable gift for Auntie. I didn’t expect that I would make Auntie go through the expense.”

“You’re welcome. It’s just a dress.” Mrs. Gu did not change, but she was touched. She said how could it be such a coincidence, so this girl also came to check on the spot?

Qin Yufei continued: “Gu Yingjie told me that tomorrow, Auntie will come here to shop, then we also come to shop, and maybe we can meet with Auntie. I feel very nervous, I am already so old, but have not experienced meeting parents this kind of scene. Gu Yingjie is much braver and more generous than me. I was afraid of not performing well and making Auntie dislike me. Because I love Gu Yingjie very much, I also want Auntie to like me. Gu Yingjie cares a lot about Auntie’s opinion.”

Mrs. Gu looked at Qin Yufei. Qin Yufei smiled nervously and added: “So I thought I’d come over early today to shop around, find a gift for Auntie, buy myself a new dress, do my hair or something, and be pretty tomorrow. Then meet with Auntie. I could also give Auntie something that you like, have a meal together, and talk to Auntie for a while. Today before going out, Gu Yingjie received a call from work and went to work overtime, so I came over by myself. I didn’t expect to meet Auntie. Gu Yingjie’s information is not well-informed.”

Mrs. Gu smiled and intentionally said, “There is no rule that shopping must be on any day. Anyway, there is time on the weekend, so if you want to come today, you can come today.” She is now very comfortable in her heart, knowing that these two children are trying to please her with all their hearts, making her feel especially dignified.

Qin Yufei added: “Then it’s lucky I came today too, otherwise I won’t see you tomorrow, and I don’t know when I’ll have the chance to visit Auntie.” She took out her cell phone and opened the photos to show Mrs. Gu: “Auntie, I just went shopping and saw several nice things, but I couldn’t decide which one you liked, so I took a picture and planned to go back and ask Gu Yingjie about it. You are here. See if there’s anything you like. Let’s walk together. I also return you a gift. You gave me clothes. I also give you one that you like. How about it?”

Mrs. Gu said, “I don’t lack anything. You don’t have to be polite.” But still took the phone and flipped through it.

Qin Yufei was afraid that she would really reject it, so she hurriedly added, “I also want to buy a jacket for Gu Yingjie, and I just saw a pair of shoes that also fit him very well. Why don’t Auntie help me look at them together?”

Mrs. Gu looked at the photo on her phone, which was indeed taken just now, and the stuff was really nice. This girl was really thoughtful. Qin Yufei held her in high esteem, and no matter how much she thought in her heart, she would still be pleased. And then she said she’d pick out clothes for her son, so Mrs. Gu pretended to think about it and agreed.

Qin Yufei was relieved again and felt that she had really broken through one barrier after another in this short time. I really want to shout to Gu Yingjie: “Hurry and praise me, praise me for being smart and brave!”
