Chapter 19: Shopping
In San Francisco's busiest business district, Leng Yingzi held her mother in her arms and shuttled through shopping malls large and small as usual on all holidays.
Leng's mother's face was slightly displeased, not because they had been shopping for most of the day and had not bought anything, but since the afternoon, her daughter had been hanging out in such low-grade cheap shops.
Because it is the alternating season of autumn and winter, all manufacturers have taken out the goods from the clearance area and carried out a discount sale, inside and outside the store, surrounded by a group of office ladies.
The excessively noisy environment, the crowded crowd, and the slightly foul air all made the pampered Mrs. Leng feel extremely uncomfortable, she couldn't help but turn her head, looked at her daughter who was still proud of choosing clothes, and frowned: "Yingzi, what do you want to buy?" You know that I have a bad trachea, and I hate the place with a lot of people the most, it's past six o'clock, I'm hungry, let's go to dinner first." ”
It's not that she hates the crowd of people, but this kind of place simply insults her noble status, and with this spare time, she is really willing to fly to a few special stores in Queens, Paris to order clothes.
"Wait, I like that sweater, what do you think?" asked Leng Yingzi's Qianqianyu, pointing to a black V-neck sweater.
Mother Leng glanced at it hurriedly, and said impatiently: "It's ugly, if you go out wearing this kind of brand, don't say it's my daughter." ”
Leng Yingzi smiled disapprehantly, then took the sweater off the hanger, looked in the mirror, and compared it left and right.
"Do you really want to buy it?" Leng's mother didn't know what happened to her daughter today, how could she, who had always been arrogant, be interested in these unpopular brands.
Leng Yingzi nodded at herself in the mirror: "It feels good, the color is very good for my complexion." ”
"Relining is also a bargain!" Leng Mu said disdainfully: "I see that you can't wear it out." ”
Leng Yingzi's bright and beautiful eyes flashed a trace of hatred, and her cold gaze shot straight at the sweater in her hand, eager to cut it with a thousand knives: "Yes, what about lining the complexion, after all, it is a bargain, and it is also a discounted secondary goods, even if you buy it back, you can only put it at home to see, you can't wear it out to meet people......"
Mother Leng saw a clear hatred in her daughter's eyes, and her mind was racing, and she finally understood why her daughter was abnormal today, so she cautiously spied: "What's the matter? Qin Fengyan's heart is still on that girl?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him much lately, and I don't have much time to talk to me. Leng Yingzi handed the sweater to the waiter and prepared to pay the bill.
Leng's mother said angrily: "What do you mean that you rarely see him, you are about to get engaged, even if you are busy, you should take some time to come out to accompany your wife, this is too unseemly, why doesn't the old man talk about him?"
Leng Yingzi sneered: "The old man himself has a lot of wives, how can he have this spare time to take care of Qin Fengyan, he didn't ask me to follow three virtues and four virtues, I am grateful." ”
Mother Leng was even more angry when she heard this: "What age is this, why is this old man's thoughts still so eight?"
Leng Yingzi took out a gold card from her purse and handed it to the cashier: "It doesn't matter how the old man is, what I'm most worried about now is Wang Xiaolei, this woman is not simple." ”
Leng's mother sighed softly, her tone was extremely disdainful, and she didn't seem to agree with her daughter's idea at all.
"A woman, after being someone else's mistress for so many years, can still marry into a wealthy family, in addition to being born with a good look, the means are also indispensable......" Leng Yingzi said as she signed her name on the bill: "Especially, you see, since she entered the Qin family, Qin Zhiyi has treated her as a baby, and for this alone, I appreciate her!"
"Look at what you said, it seems that she is amazing, but she is just a skill to charm men, you are a beautiful girl, you are not allowed to imitate her foxy style!" Leng Mu said a little angrily.
Usually those women who are not born high enough, but are favored by their husbands because of their beauty, will always become the object of envy or attack of these wealthy ladies.
Leng Yingzi said with a gloomy expression: "If you can really pull Qin Fengyan's heart back, it doesn't hurt to learn from her." ”
Leng's mother felt sorry for her daughter's situation, but she also knew that it was difficult to force it: "Hey, it's all to blame on that little fox spirit, I'm strange, Qin Fengyan already knows that she has been ruined, why is she indifferent at all?"
"yes, I didn't figure it out, he knew it, why still..."
"I heard that she is pregnant, are you sure that the child is Qin Fengyan?"
Leng Yingzi shook her head: "I don't know about this matter, I only heard the old man mention it a few times in the Qin family, and listening to his tone, it seems that I feel that the kid is not Qin Fengyan." ”
"Then why does Qin Fengyan insist so much that the child is his?" Leng's mother was straightforward, and without thinking too much, the words came out. But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, because her daughter's face had turned from red to white, and then from white to blue, and she was still that kind of iron and iron blue.
Leng's mother hurriedly smiled at her daughter and said: "Actually, you don't have to care too much, maybe Qin Fengyan is still jealous of you for what happened back then, so he deliberately used that girl to anger you, by the way, you have lived in their house for a while, has anything happened to you?"
"No!" Leng Yingzi's face turned from iron blue to pale again: "Not once!"
Leng's mother's words touched her sore spot, and in order to hide her sadness, she threw her head high and tried not to let the tears flow.
Leng Mu was shocked: "Not once?
"He comes back late every day, and as soon as he comes back, he goes into the study!" Leng Yingzi desperately endured the tears that were about to overflow her eyes, and said aggrievedly: "He didn't even give me the slightest chance, and he didn't even want to look at me." ”
Leng Mu paused, suddenly opened her eyes, and said in a chaotic manner: "You say, will he know that we bought the black panther and started on that oil bottle?" Oh, if I knew earlier, I wouldn't have published those photos, that girl was not forced to die by us, but by ourselves..."
Leng Yingzi pursed her lips, but her heart was weak but she still said stiffly: "What are you afraid of, the black panther has long fled without a trace, as long as you are not nervous and suspicious all day long, no one can suspect us." ”
Leng Mu nodded in agreement: "Also, the panther is a smart person, and he has been forced to such a point by us, he must not dare to reappear, but he doesn't know ......"
Leng Yingzi was annoyed by her mother's chatter, took a deep breath, turned her head, and said sharply to her mother: "Okay, you don't just stop, I don't understand, what are you afraid of? Even if Qin Fengyan knows, don't forget, the Qin family still has a handle in our hands, this marriage, he has to get married!"
Leng's mother was scolded by her daughter for no reason, and suddenly turned white, although the Leng family is not as feudal as the Qin family, but it is also a strict family education, the Leng family has followed the family rules of 'foolish filial piety' for several generations, and the children of the Leng family must be absolutely obedient to their parents. In words and attitudes, there can be no disrespect in the slightest.
If it weren't for the occasion, because of the identity, and thinking that after all, he owed his daughter, so he forced his anger back.
Alas, there are thousands of mistakes, and it is all to blame for her and her husband's insistence on breaking up with their daughter and Qin Fengyan, or they are afraid that they would have gotten married long ago.
Although her daughter looks strong, she doesn't seem to mind the fact that they forced her to withdraw from the marriage, but as a mother, how can she not see the bleak mood under her daughter's smile, and she can't help but hate and scold in distress: "You girl, you know that you lose your temper with me, and you are bullied like this, and you don't know how to fight for yourself." ”
"Fight for what?" Leng Yingzi lowered her head, not wanting her mother to see the tears in her eyes.
Leng's mother put on a mother-in-law posture: "You call Qin Fengyan, today is the weekend, let him come out to have dinner with me." ”
"Heh, he's only afraid that it's nephrite warm and fragrant in his arms now, you take a bite and I take a bite, and the love is very strong!" Leng Yingzi said sourly.
"You mean, he's there for that little vixen?" Leng Mu was furious, and her usually graceful face was full of fierceness
Leng Yingzi bit her lip aggrievedly, tears welled up in her eyes, but her voice was very soft: "It's been two weeks, I heard the driver say that he will go to her every day after work and work overtime on weekends, but I'm afraid that I will annoy him and not let him go." ”
"It's... This is too much!" Leng Mu took Leng Yingzi's hand and said indignantly: "Let's go, let's go to that little vixen's residence now, Qin Fengyan is so indifferent to you, I want to see how he explains to me." ”
