Chapter 4: Encounters in the Mall
Su Mo, who was standing at the door of the house, quickly cleaned up her mood and breathed a long sigh of relief, revealing her signature smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Mom, auntie, I'm back." Open the door and say loudly.
I only heard the sound of stir-frying in the kitchen, but no one responded. She changed her shoes, and when she turned her head, she found that the furniture in the room seemed to have been renewed, and the leather sofa that had been used for many years was gone, replaced by a set of crimson wooden sofas, which looked like a large family in ancient times, and a dark blue carpet with a wave pattern on the smooth floor.
"Momo, you're back, hurry up and wash your hands and eat. Today, your aunt said that there is still something to deal with and that we need to eat first, and she can come over later. ”
Mother Zhao Guilian said as she walked towards the table with the dishes.
"Oh, is Daddy back for dinner?" Su Mo asked. She has always had a good relationship with her father, and the father and daughter are always concerned about each other.
In the bathroom, a thin stream of water flowed into the sink, the pool was filled with water, and overflowed along the small hole reserved before, Su Mo, who looked at the mirror, came back to his senses and immediately turned off the faucet, picked up a handful of water and slapped it on his face, the water droplets flowed down the back of his hand, cold and cold, although it was early summer, there was also a cold chill.
"Yesterday on your birthday, your father postponed work, I guess I'm very busy today, I'm afraid I won't have time to come back for dinner, and there are customers to accompany me in the evening, so let's eat."
Mom said lightly that this kind of life should be taken for granted, and Dad often eats out because of work, and the time for the family to reunite and eat together is very little.
"Momo, you and Jing Yan haven't come back for dinner together for a long time, you can call him to come to the house for your father's birthday next month to sit down and have a meal together."
Although there was a door, her mother's words were not heard clearly at all, and every word really reached Su Mo's ears, and she listened silently and didn't know how to answer.
In the past three years with Shao Jingyan, there have been less than ten times when he came back to eat together, probably only when he came back more when they were together, and then he always had various reasons to prevaricate, but Su Mo would not delve into the reasons, she always trusted him unconditionally and attached to him.
……
Zhao's mother set up the dishes, dishes and chopsticks, with a satisfied smile on her face, and a sense of accomplishment.
"Mom, you made braised fish again today, it's so fragrant." Looking at the dishes on the table, they are all what Su Mo likes to eat.
"Yes, didn't you come back to eat yesterday, your father and I ate the fish, thinking that your mother went to the market early to buy it when you came back today."
Zhao's mother smiled, obviously her daughter came back for dinner to make her feel good.
"Mom, you're so nice to me." Su Mo blinked her big eyes as if she was coquettish, and said sweetly. swept away the listlessness of the recent days and ate it in a big gulp.
Well...
It feels so good to be home.
——
Xiaolin Middle Road, in Jiufang City.
A girl is standing in front of the mirror with her clothes and gesturing left and right, tilting her head to look at herself in the mirror, this girl is Yan Shu. There was also a shopping guide beside her, patiently introducing the clothes in her hand.
"Then I'll give it a try." Yan Shu turned her head and handed the clothes to the shopping guide.
"Okay." I saw this shopping guide lady neatly take out the hanger and put the clothes into the fitting room.
After a while, Yan Shu, who had changed her clothes, came out, and she came to the mirror again to look at herself carefully.
This is a suit, the upper body is a low-necked short suit, with ruffled puff sleeves, and the lower body is paired with a pair of high-waisted bootcut jeans, which is worn on Yan Shu's body to show her tall figure.
After looking up and down, it seems to feel very good, and the little sister of the shopping guide also praises from time to time, Yan Shu is very useful when she listens, and a bright smile is raised on her beautiful little face.
"Then let's put this set, I'll put it on, you help me wrap up the clothes I changed before, thank you."
As he spoke, a boy hurried towards him.
"You said on the phone that your stomach hurts, are you okay now?"
It's Gu Ran.
The reason why he came in such a hurry was because Yan Shu called him half an hour ago and said that his stomach hurt, it hurts.
The tone was weak, coming and going, and it frightened him.
"Gu Ran, you're here, this sister just came in and poured me a cup of hot water, I took soothing tablets and got much better."
The girl smiled at the boy who came over, and that smile made people reluctant to criticize her for half a sentence.
Belch.
All right.
"That's good."
Looking at the clothes that the shopping guide packed in the bag, Gu Ran took the order, took out the credit card, and walked straight to the cashier.
"A total of 1846 yuan will be charged to you, welcome to visit next time." The cashier handed the credit card to Gu Ran and said with a smile.
He took the card, and the phone rang "Icalleditsomethi."
gw
o
g......" He looked down and saw that it was showing a call from "Mom".
He held the card in one hand, took the phone in the other, and responded to the concern of his mother from the other side of the ocean while walking towards Yan Shu.
walked to Yan Shu's side, took the hand with the card and took the garment bag that the shopping guide had already packed, tilted his head towards Yan Shu, and motioned for her to take the elevator with his eyes.
The two came to the elevator, and at this time the elevator showed - 1st floor.
“…… Is it next week? Gu Ran looked sideways and asked on the other end of the phone.
“…… Are you alone? Gu Ran asked again.
At this point, the elevator doors opened. Gu Ran lowered his head slightly, and said as he walked in, "I entered the elevator..."
In the elevator, Su Mo and the three walked out in turn, Su Mo walked last, and at the moment of getting out of the elevator, she and Gu Ran passed by, and just happened to touch the clothing bag that Gu Ran was carrying, and the credit card in her hand slipped down the bag and fell outside the elevator.
Hey!
Su Mo looked at the dropped card and immediately stepped forward to pick it up, and when he saw it, it actually said CCB credit card GURAN.
So she immediately turned around and wanted to return it.
What about people?
As soon as I turned my head, I saw the elevator door slowly closing, and the floor had already begun to go down.
Oh no, I won't notice that the card has been dropped...
She didn't have time to think about it, so she hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the down button, but to no avail.
"What's wrong, Momo?" Zhao's mother saw that her daughter didn't follow and turned around and asked puzzled, and her aunt Zhao Xianglian also turned around.
"Mom, I seem to have touched someone's things just now, or a credit card." Su Mo took the card and showed it to the two.
"Then hurry up and return it to others, maybe it hasn't gone far." Mother Zhao hurriedly said, for fear that it would be too late.
At this time, the elevator door opened again, and Su Mo said as he walked into the elevator: "Mom, you wait for me for a while, and I'll be back soon." ”
I hope the people haven't gone yet... A few seconds later.
Su Mo came to the parking lot, and suddenly ran out of ideas, all in front of her were cars, where could she go to find someone, she looked around the parking lot helplessly, thinking that whoever drove to the exit was probably who's. However, after lingering at the exit for a long time, I still didn't see a car coming out.
It seems that there is only other way to do it.
"Have you found the owner?" As soon as she got out of the elevator, Zhao's mother asked anxiously.
"It's all cars down there, I don't see anyone, I'm probably gone." Su Mo raised the credit card in his hand.
"It's okay, I'll go to the bank and ask them later." However, the bank got off work early, and it is estimated that it will not be long before I go shopping today, Su Mo thought in her heart.
Although there was a small episode, the mood of the three of them was not affected at all, and they pulled Su Mo to try on a lot of clothes, and took them in large bags.
Su Mo looked at the time and saw that it was almost four o'clock, thinking that she still had to pay off her credit card, and it would take more than ten minutes for the nearest bank to pass, she planned to deal with this matter today, otherwise she didn't know when she would have time.
"Auntie, buying so much is enough for me not to repeat it for a week, I will have to go to the bank later, or let's go now."
Aunt Zhao Xianglian can't stop as long as she buys something, every time she takes Su Mo out to buy clothes, she always buys several sets of clothes, plus Su Mo is well-behaved and cute, she likes it so much, she can't wait to buy all the beautiful clothes in the world and wear them on Su Mo.
Looking at the big bags and small bags in their hands, the aunt laughed, and the hearty laughter infected everyone present, and they all laughed...
The entrance of the bank on Xiaolin Middle Road.
After Su Mo walked in with the card and explained her intention to the security guard, the security guard took her to the person in charge of the lobby on the side, and Su Mo repeated the intention again.
"Got it, I'll help you contact him." The person in charge took the credit card and went to the window to inquire.
"I'll give him a call." The person in charge looked up at Su Mo.
Su Mo didn't speak, and nodded slightly.
After a while, the person in charge walked out with a note with a long list of phone numbers.
"Little sister, I just helped you contact the owner, that's it, he said that he still has urgent matters to deal with, and he may not be able to come over to get it, so I want you to help keep it first, this is his phone." Can you leave your contact details? ”
"Okay, my phone number is 177****3124, since he can't come over because of something, then I'll leave first, and I'll contact him then." Su Mo took the note and smiled slightly.
——
Inside the dormitory for female students of Jiao Tong University.
Su Mo dialed the phone number written on the note, if you don't have time today, let's make an appointment, I always feel a little reluctant to take other people's things.
"Toot toot-" A nice female voice came from the phone, "The phone you dialed is on the call......"
Such a coincidence, did you hang up, or was it really on the call, Su Mo thought like this, while opening WeChat and entering the phone number into the WeChat friend add.
"Gu Shao", a WeChat account named Gu Shao, popped up.
Su Mo sent a friend request and noted that she was the one who picked up the credit card.
After doing this, Su Mo threw her mobile phone on the bed, took out the new clothes she and her aunt had shopped at the mall today, sorted them out one by one and put them in the closet.
——
At the largest airport in Z City, a woman stood straight on the side of the road not far from the exit with her suitcase, looking at her mobile phone for a while, and looking at the road for a while.
At this time, a black Daben business car drove in the distance, the car slowly stopped in front of the woman, and a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat. It was the driver Uncle Chen, who greeted the woman respectfully, neatly put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, and walked to the side door to open the door for the woman, holding the door with one hand, and putting the other hand on top of the woman's head to protect the woman when she got into the car.
"Miss Shanshan, there are small snacks you like to eat in the car, dinner may be a little late, you pad your stomach first." After the driver Uncle Chen finished speaking, he returned to the driver's seat.
In fact, there was a man sitting in the car, who was sitting in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed and leisurely at this time.
"Gu Ran, are you asleep?" After getting into the car, the woman gently shook the man's hand.
Gu Ran frowned, his eyes still not opened, "Didn't you go to school abroad?" ”
"Yes, but my parents want me to return to China to take care of the family business, and you are not also in China, so I came back." Yuan Shan said with a smile in the corner of her eyes.
She came back this time when she suddenly received a call from home, the grandfather who loved him the most was sick and hospitalized for many days and did not get better, and she missed that her baby granddaughter and grandson-in-law who had been set since childhood could get married as soon as possible.
One of them is abroad and the other is in China, with no emotional foundation, in this rapidly changing era of fast food, if they don't get married, they won't feel at ease for a day, and the grandson-in-law who has made a marriage contract since he was a child is Gu Ran.
At that time, the two families were still living abroad, and the little Gu Ran and other children could not play together, and their favorite was to play with Yuan Shan.
But since Gu Ran returned to China with his grandparents in the fourth grade, the contact between the two has become less and less, so Yuan Shan is not sure whether he will marry her as agreed when he was a child.
Gu Ran was a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, in fact, he could probably guess the reason for Yuan Shan's return, but if she didn't say it, he just pretended not to know.
Today, his mother specially called him and told him to pick up Yuan Shan and send her home, and he felt that things were not simple. Especially when his mother said that she would return to China next week, it was even more difficult.
"Hmm." It took a while to hear Gu Ran's response.
Seems a little tired...
Yuan Shan didn't care, she took the small snacks prepared in advance in the car and ate them.
In addition to the sound of Yuan Shan eating in the car, only the sound of navigation remained.
Navigation: "Go straight ahead for 300 meters and turn right into the auxiliary road..."
Navigation: "Be careful to slow down..."
Navigation: "Please note..."
……
In this way, there were two people in a car, one had been lying down and sleeping, and the other had been eating snacks, and Yuan Shan was sent home without saying a word.
——
Inside the suburban Gujia villa.
Gu Ran walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, picked up his mobile phone, opened WeChat and saw that a friend requested, "Hello, is it Mr. Gu?" I picked up your credit card today. ”
Look at the avatar is a girl facing the sea with a side face, confirmed, and the friend passed.
"You send a position, I'll go over tomorrow and get it." Gu Ran wiped his hair with a towel in one hand, and quickly typed a line of words in the chat box with his mobile phone in the other.
It didn't take long to receive a message reply from the other party.
The location is shown in the urban Jiaotong University College.
Jiao Tong University College.
It seems that it is still alumni...
"Okay."
