Chapter 353: A Chance Encounter
It may be the reason why Christmas is approaching, all kinds of shops in the shopping street have put "Merry Christmas" stickers in English on the glass doors, or decorations of small snowflakes, and even some large shopping malls have set up beautiful Christmas trees in front of their doors, and there are some colorful beads on the Christmas trees.
"Mom...... Are those Christmas trees? ”
Xi Xi took Shi Sheng's hand and shook it and asked.
"Well, yes, Christmas is coming, do you know how this holiday came about?"
Shi Sheng nodded, looked at Xi Xi seriously and replied, Xi Xi is at this age, when he is very interested in all kinds of things in the outside world, so Shi Sheng can teach him a little more things within his ability, so he will teach him everything.
"I don't know."
Hei Xi shook her head, thought seriously for a moment, and then replied.
"This festival is a Western holiday, to commemorate the day of the birth of people they believe in in the West, so it is called Christmas."
Shi Sheng introduced the origin of Christmas to Xi Xi, and then pulled Xi Xi to the third floor of the shopping mall, because the third floor of the shopping mall is a place to eat, and it happened to be evening when he came out, so Shi Sheng planned to lead Xi Xi out for a delicious meal.
"Hmm...... So why do Western festivals have to be celebrated in our country? Are we also the West? ”
Xi Xi didn't know what Shi Sheng was looking around, he just kept struggling with what Shi Sheng told him, and then broke the casserole and asked the end.
"No, we are a country in the East, and their Christmas is just a marketing method to sell goods, and you don't understand this, but you will understand it when you grow up."
Shi Sheng frowned slightly, and then replied.
"But...... ”
"Okay, Hee-hee, don't dwell on these useless questions, let's see, what do you want to eat?"
Shi Sheng took Lahixi's hand, not wanting him to continue asking this boring question.
Eating can always capture the hearts of children, maybe because there is no dinner at night, and the third floor of the mall is a place to sell rice, so it smells of all kinds of rice, Xixi quickly forgot that he was entangled in asking Shisheng just now, and his little head flexibly looked at the surrounding environment to see what he wanted to eat.
"Hmm...... Mom, I don't know what I want to eat......"
Xi Xi has been dazzled by the various shops in front of him, he is a child, there is no choice, in front of all kinds of food, Xi Xi is even more out of ideas.
"Then mom chooses for you?" Shi Sheng knew that Xi Xi might not know what he wanted.
"Hmm." Hei Xi nodded earnestly.
Maybe it's because it's not a working day, and there are not many people eating in the mall in the evening, if it's the past, this place must be overcrowded, after all, this place is the most prosperous shopping mall in Fengcheng, and Shi Sheng used to come here with Yan Momo to go shopping......
Thinking of this, Shi Sheng's heart felt a sense of sorrow.
Shi Sheng took Xi Xi around on the third floor, looked at all the food shops, and finally made a decision in his heart.
Eating hamburgers and the like with children is too unhealthy, and Shi Sheng never lets Xixi eat those foreigners' things.
"Xixi, how about we go eat hot pot?"
Shi Sheng took Xi Xi to the door of the hot pot restaurant he had just seen, and then pointed to the inside and turned his head to Xi Xi and said.
"Well, okay, Hei Xi listens to her mother."
Xi Xi nodded obediently, Shi Sheng and Gu Yueqing had taken him to eat hot pot together before, so Xi Xi's impression of the hot pot restaurant was quite good.
"Well, let's go."
With Xixi's approval, Shi Sheng directly took Xixi's hand and walked into the hot pot restaurant.
"Welcome to the ...... How many are you? The waiter looked at Shi Sheng very warmly, and then greeted Shi Sheng in.
"Two people, prepare a child seat for me." Shi Sheng replied politely, and then pointed at Xi Xi and said.
"Okay, you two, please come with me...... ”
After getting Shi Sheng's answer, the waiter took Shi Sheng and Xi Xi to the store very enthusiastically, ready to find a place to sit.
Compared to other shops, there are more people in the hot pot restaurant, and when she entered the store, Shi Sheng was looking for a position to sit in, and suddenly saw an acquaintance, an acquaintance who made her really unexpected.
…… Shi Sheng's heart panicked, and when he just wanted to drag Xixi away, Xixi also saw that person.
"Let's go, Xixi, Mom will take you to eat other delicious food, Mom allows you to eat whatever you want, let's not eat here here...... ”
Shi Sheng hurriedly pulled Xi Xi to his side, and then asked Xi Xi to turn his back to the direction of the person, ready to pull Xi Xi out of the store.
"But Mom...... I saw Uncle Gu! ”
Xi Xi struggled to break free from Shi Sheng's hands, and two people, one big and one small, were pulling and pulling in the middle of the road, which was very conspicuous.
"Excuse me...... What happened? ”
The waiter who brought Shi Sheng and Xi Xi into the store saw that the two people did not follow, and turned his head to look over, only to find that they were arguing on the side.
"It's okay, it's okay, we're just going to eat somewhere else."
Shi Sheng shook his head and refused the waiter's kindness.
"Gu ...... Uncle Gu! ”
Xi Xi struggled to break free of Shi Sheng's hand, and then trotted to Gu Yueqing's side.
Gu Yueqing had actually heard a noise here just now, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar little figure running towards him.
Shi Sheng couldn't stop Xi Xi, she was very helpless to watch Xi Xi run towards Gu Yueqing, but she couldn't do anything, she really didn't expect that she was so unfortunate that she could meet Gu Yueqing when she came here to eat.
However, what Shi Sheng couldn't ignore was the woman sitting opposite Gu Yueqing.
Yan Momo.
Of course, Yan Momo also saw Shi Sheng standing opposite her, although she was a little surprised, but there was still a look of disdain in her eyes.
She stared at Shi Sheng like that, like a victorious champion looking at a hopeless loser, and smiled proudly at Shi Sheng.
Looking at Yan Momo's expression, Shi Sheng bit his lip and didn't say anything.
Thinking about it, Shi Sheng had no choice but to stand not far away and watch Xixi reunite with his father. Although she didn't directly tell Xi Xi that Gu Yueqing was his father's business, blood is thicker than water, and this matter is inevitable, which can be seen from Xi Xi's feelings for Gu Yueqing.
Gu Yueqing glanced at Shi Sheng, who was standing not far away and refused to come, and directly picked up Xi Xi from the ground.
"Hee-hee, why are you here?"
Gu Yueqing put Xixi on his lap, and then looked at Xixi in his arms and asked.
"Mom brought Xixi to dinner today, and Xixi wanted to come to eat hot pot, so I happened to meet Uncle Gu...... ”
Xi Xi looked at Gu Yueqing very happily and replied, in fact, he saw Gu Yueqing as soon as he entered the door of the store, but Xi Xi didn't know why, and his mother didn't seem to want to see Gu Yueqing.
"Mom, come here...... Uncle Yueqing is here! ”
Xi Xi hugged Gu Yueqing's neck in Gu Yueqing's arms, and then looked at Shi Sheng not far away and said.
"That...... Beauty, are you all in this together? Or will I arrange another one for you? The waiter standing next to Shi Sheng looked like a newcomer and had no experience in this kind of thing, so he looked at Shi Sheng and asked a little overwhelmed.
"It's okay, no need, I'll talk about it later, thank you."
Shi Sheng shook her head absentmindedly, she didn't want to eat here yet. I don't know what kind of bad luck happened today, but I can still meet Gu Yueqing and Yan Momo here.
Obviously, I took a leave of absence from the company to avoid these two people, fate is really a trick on people, and I always have to come when I should come, and I can never avoid it.
Thinking like this, Shi Sheng rubbed his somewhat sore head, looked at Xi Xi and shook his head.
"Mom...... Come here...... ”
Xi Xi waved his arm vigorously at Shi Sheng, not understanding what Shi Sheng meant by shaking his head.
At his young age, how could he know what happened to Shi Sheng and Gu Yueqing.
"Alas......" Seeing Xixi's insistence, Shi Sheng shook his head helplessly, and still walked towards them.
"Uncle Yueqing, why don't you go to see Xixi? Hei and Mom miss you so much......"
Xi Xi saw that his mother had already walked towards him, so he no longer looked at Shi Sheng, but leaned on Gu Yueqing's body tightly and said.
"Hmm...... Your Uncle Yueqing misses you too, but Uncle Yueqing is very busy and doesn't have time to see Xixi, it's Uncle Yueqing's fault...... ”
Gu Yueqing looked at Xi Xi with a gentle gaze in his eyes, which was completely different from anyone else he looked at.
This kind of look made Yan Momo see it all in her heart, she was very jealous and looked at Xixi who could be coquettish in Gu Yueqing's arms at will, she had never seen Gu Yueqing look at others with this kind of look.
Yan Momo's hands hanging under the table were clenched tightly.
"Xixi, don't talk nonsense, don't you see that your Uncle Yueqing is busy?"
Shi Sheng, who came from not far away, heard what Xi Xi said, and hurriedly walked over to stop him: "The child is not sensible, don't mind if he talks nonsense." ”
Shi Sheng stepped forward and forcibly hugged Xi Xi from Gu Yueqing's body.
However, Xi Xi broke free from Shi Sheng's hands again without giving himself face, and insisted on leaning over to Gu Yueqing's body.
"Whose child is this, so ignorant, he can't let his family eat well when he eats."
Yan Momo glanced at Xixi who was standing on the ground angrily, and said very dissatisfied.
