You Make Money, I'll Spend It: Stepmother's Ultimate Pleasure in the Aristocratic Family-Chapter 196: Do New Year shopping

At the same time, on the other side of Jing City Airport.

The domestic terminal.

Cheng Zhuo and Qiao Li went to pick up Feng Yaoqin.

Feng Yaoqin and the old lady's flights landed at the same time.

They had no choice but to split up with Cousin and Cousin-in-law, and then meet up in the parking lot.

Cheng Zhuo took the suitcase from Feng Yaoqin's hand.

Pushing the suitcase with one hand and holding Qiao Li's hand with the other, he naturally walked at the very edge.

He called Feng Yaoqin "Auntie" as he followed Qiao Li, constantly making conversation and laughing all the way to the parking lot.

In the middle of chatting, Feng Yaoqin suddenly stopped.

As if realizing something, she stared at the young couple for a long time.

She suddenly said suspiciously: "Little Cheng, why do I feel like you two are different from before?"

"Huh?" Cheng Zhuo's eyes widened in confusion, "What's different?"

Qiao Li showed the same puzzled expression: "???"

Feng Yaoqin looked them up and down. "You two look...like your relationship has progressed a lot since I left Jing City."

Feng Yaoqin's gaze fell on the young couple's tightly held hands.

She also said:

"Compared to this, it didn't even look like you were dating before, it was more like you were acting."

Cheng Zhuo's expression froze: "!!!"

"!!!" Qiao Li was shocked, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

She quickly pointed to a corner of the parking lot to change the subject:

"Ahahaha——Auntie, you must have been watching too many melodramatic shows lately, your imagination has become so rich ahaha......Oh, is that Cousin and Cousin-in-law over there?"

"Where?" Feng Yaoqin's attention was successfully diverted as she turned to look.

What a coincidence.

The Qi family happened to appear in the direction Qiao Li was pointing.

Qiao Li and Cheng Zhuo secretly breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time.

As everyone chatted during the greetings, they exchanged a look of having narrowly escaped disaster.

Cheng Zhuo: Scared to death.jpg

Qiao Li: Who isn't? .jpg

The topic of the chat went from "airplane food is not tasty" to "should we all go shopping for New Year's goods together."

Feng Yaoqin put her arm around the old lady and said, "You young people go, I'll accompany the old lady home to rest and get over jet lag."

Qiao Li looked at the time and showed regret: "I can't go either, the band has booked several performances in a row at the end of the year, I have to hurry to the rehearsal studio now."

"I'll take you there." Cheng Zhuo took out his car keys, actively demonstrating the virtues a good boyfriend should have.

So in the end, the task of purchasing New Year's goods fell on the Qi family of three.

Feng Yaoqin roughly outlined what things need to be bought to create a New Year atmosphere.

Sheng Mumu listened carefully, glancing out of the corner of her eye to see that brat Qi Shaobai had taken out his phone.

He held the phone to Feng Yaoqin's mouth.

"Grandma, say it again, I'll record it."

Qi Shaobai used his eyes to point at Sheng Mumu and added:

"They definitely won't remember."

Sheng Mumu: ......

Qi Mo: ......

Feng Yaoqin nodded. "You really are smart."

She then took the phone from Qi Shaobai's hand, subconsciously cleared her throat.

Then in an official-sounding voice, she recorded:

"Ah...um, to buy——"

"No, not fluent."

"Ahem..."

"No good, not coherent."

"Ahem ahem......"

"Shopping list for the 30th day of the lunar year as follows——"

"balabala#$%@′′

Finally, she gave them a big thumbs up and smiled gently:

"Thanks for your hard work."

Sheng Mumu chuckled softly.

She felt Feng Yaoqin's appearance at the moment was just like a real-life version of the "wealth and nobility" emoji pack.

It perfectly overlapped with the image of the cute granny who liked to send cheesy emojis in the group chat.

Doubly cute.

After detailing the specifics, everyone headed towards different cars.

Sheng Mumu had just grasped the passenger door handle, about to pull, when she suddenly stopped.

She said to the two Qi men:

"Wait for me, I forgot something..."

She turned around and got into Feng Yaoqin and the old lady's car, and didn't come back for several minutes.

On the way to the supermarket.

Qi Mo drove.

Qi Shaobai pulled his hoodie over his head and found a comfortable position, leaning back into the leather seat.

He was already prepared to serve as a shopping cart pusher at the supermarket later.

He was now seizing the time to rest.

"Are you going to rest too?" Qi Mo gently asked her, turning his head.

"I won't rest." Sheng Mumu smiled lightly and shook her phone. "I'll play on my phone for a bit."

Qi Mo: "Okay."

He started the car with one hand on the steering wheel.

He unconsciously slowed down the speed.

On one hand.

He considered that Qi Shaobai was sleeping in the back.

More importantly.

He was worried that if the speed was too fast, she would get dizzy from looking down at her phone.

Sheng Mumu didn't notice the man's caring little details. Her fingers slid across the screen, attracted by the content of the conversations in the ladies' group chat.

Recently, the ladies' group chat had been very lively.

Almost every time she opened it, there were 99+ unread messages

As the Spring Festival approached, the ladies often made appointments to do beauty treatments and dye their hair together.

They would share which upscale restaurants had new dishes on the menu.

Talk about which haute couture coats would be good to wear for New Year.

They would also share the new hair colors they dyed to the group for everyone to see if it looked good or not.

Sheng Mumu's OCD was triggered.

She read from the very first unread message all the way to the latest one.

Just as she was about to exit the group chat with a "seen by me" mentality, a message related to her suddenly popped up.

——【Mrs. Zhao: Did everyone see it? Mrs. Qi's company made it onto the financial magazine's annual list.】

——【Mrs. Qian: Really? [Surprised]】

——【Mrs. Zhao: [Shared news link]】

——【Mrs. Qian: Wow, so awesome![Clapping][Clapping][Clapping]】

——【Su Tingran: Yes yes, Mumu is super great.】

——【Mrs. Sun: I really didn't expect that in less than a year, Mrs. Qi has made the company so good, very impressive.】

——【Su Tingran: Nodding like mad.jpg】

——【Mrs. Qian: As one of Yueji's first customers, I feel so proud too, it's like I got on the list with her [Haha]】

——【Mrs. Zhou: To tell the truth, when I first learned that Mrs. Qi was going to open a flower shop, my words were a bit inappropriate, verbally mocking, I'm really sorry.】

——【Mr. Wu's Baby: Me too, I looked down on Mrs. Qi for opening a flower shop at first. [Sigh]】

——【Mr. Wu's Baby: @Sheng Mumu, Mrs. Qi, sorry, sincerely apologizing.】

Sheng Mumu looked at the screen in surprise and blinked.

It was as if a line had formed behind these two messages.

The ladies who used to make sarcastic comments about her flower shop were coming out one by one to @ her and sincerely apologize.
