Chapter 46: Forty-six, buying a mobile phone Chapter 46: Forty-six, buying a mobile phone Mr. Qin pondered for a moment and nodded his head, “All right!” Although Xiao Shen was young, he was no ordinary child. Sending him out to gain some experience would be beneficial. He believed in his grandson, who was a sensible person.
“But…”
Liu Shanyue wanted to say something else, but Mr. Qin waved his hand to interrupt her, “Xiao Shen will be sensible, don’t worry.”
“Okay.” Liu Shanyue could only nod reluctantly. She was not at ease about Xiao Shen. However, upon reflection, she thought it might be good for Xiao Shen and Xiao Ning to go together, as at least the two children could get to know each other, and perhaps they could even become good friends. As for their future, that would depend on what they thought when they grew up. Although she liked Xiao Ning, she would not interfere with Xiao Shen’s future.
“Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Mom!” Qin Yushen gratefully thanked the two, his deep eyes twinkling with a glint of anticipation. He would soon find out whether Song Yan Ning was a doctor in the Emperor Realm.
Song Yan Ning felt a chill and couldn’t help rubbing her hands, a hint of confusion in her eyes. Since she started her cultivation, she had never known what cold was, so why was she suddenly feeling cold? Could someone be plotting against her?
“Yufeng, stop the car up ahead.” Yang Lisheng turned to Song Yufeng and spoke. He had already decided that he was definitely not going to stay in the new house.
“Father, do you need to buy something? I’ll go down and buy it for you,” Song Yufeng said, noticing a commercial street ahead and guessing that Yang Lisheng wanted to buy something.
“I want to buy a cellphone for Xiao Ning.” Yang Lisheng stated. Xiao Ning was going to the Miao Border, and she could not go without a phone.
Song Yufeng nodded and steered the car toward the parking lot.
After parking the car, Song Yufeng looked at the back seat where Song Yan Ning and Li Meixiang were sitting, “Mom, Xiao Ning, do you want to get out and walk around?” His parents-in-law had not been back to Beijing for a long time, and Beijing had changed significantly since they left.
“Yufeng, you don’t need to accompany us. Go back,” Yang Lisheng turned and looked at Song Yufeng.
“Father, I have already arranged a place for you to stay,” Song Yufeng frowned and looked at Yang Lisheng. Selling back the old house wouldn’t be so quick. He was still busy with his father’s birthday banquet, and he planned to meet the homeowner tomorrow morning.
“No need, we’ll just stay in a hotel. Open the trunk.” Yang Lisheng didn’t talk any further with Song Yufeng and walked toward the back of the car.
Song Yufeng opened the trunk, stepped out of the car, and stopped the three of them who were about to walk away with their luggage, “Dad, Mom, I know you are angry at Xinxin, but Xinxin meant well. I’ve seen the courtyard house too, and it’s indeed in bad shape.”
“No matter how run-down, it’s still our house. Shouldn’t you have consulted us beforehand? Enough said, go back. We won’t be staying in the house you bought,” Yang Lisheng took Song Yan Ning’s hand and walked past Song Yufeng.
Li Meixiang shook her head and sighed, “Yufeng, your father is still angry. You go back first, and once his anger abates, it will be fine.”
Song Yufeng nodded, took out his wallet, and handed a bank card to Li Meixiang, “Mom, take this bank card. Buy Xiao Ning a phone later, and buy some clothes and food too, and you and Dad should buy some clothes as well.”
“No need, we have money,” Li Meixiang pushed the bank card back. She and her husband had not touched their retirement money for years, planning to leave it all for Xiao Ning.
“Mom, Xiao Ning is my daughter. It is my duty to buy her some things,” Song Yufeng stuffed the bank card into Li Meixiang’s hand.
“All right, then I’ll hold on to it for now,” Li Meixiang took the bank card and walked toward Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning waiting ahead. She kept the bank card. As for whether to use it or not, that depended on Xiao Ning’s wish. If Xiao Ning didn’t want to use it, she would return it to Yufeng tomorrow.
When she reached Yang Lisheng and Song Yan Ning, Li Meixiang handed the bank card to Song Yan Ning, “Xiao Ning, this is from your dad.”
Song Yan Ning didn’t even glance at the bank card, “Grandma, you keep it.” She did not want to use the Song family’s money.
Li Meixiang looked at Yang Lisheng.
“Return it to Yufeng tomorrow,” Yang Lisheng said. Since Xiao Ning didn’t want to use it, they wouldn’t either. Their money was enough for their needs.
Li Meixiang nodded, put the bank card in her pocket, and seeing a cellphone store ahead, said, “There’s a cellphone store. Let’s go in and take a look.”
The three of them entered the cellphone store. There were not many customers, with only two at the counter inquiring about the features of a phone, while two other clerks chatted inside the counter, seemingly oblivious to the arrival of Song Yan Ning’s group.
Li Meixiang led Song Yan Ning to a display case and eyed the phones inside, “Xiao Ning, do you think this phone looks nice?” She pointed at a white phone.
Song Yan Ning nodded, but she liked the phone next to the white one even better. She looked at the two chatting clerks, “Excuse me, could you show me this phone?”
The two clerks glanced at the group, curled their lips, and one of them reluctantly walked over. They had seen them come in, but judging by their clothing, it seemed unlikely that they would make a purchase.
“Which phone would you like to see?” The clerk looked at Song Yan Ning and her companions with an arrogant face, his contempt plain to see. The phones in their store belonged to high-end brands, which ordinary people couldn’t afford, especially not those dressed like them.
Song Yan Ning frowned and looked at the clerk, “If you don’t wish to serve us, we won’t insist.”
The clerk was momentarily taken aback, then sneered, “If you can afford it, of course I’ll serve you enthusiastically.” The implication was clear.
“What kind of attitude is this?” Yang Lisheng was getting angry. He had never encountered such an arrogant clerk.
“Grandpa, Grandma, let’s go to another store,” Song Yan Ning turned and walked out of the store. Since the other party wasn’t willing to do business with them, they would go elsewhere. After all, this wasn’t the only cellphone store on the street.
Yang Lisheng snorted coldly and followed Song Yan Ning and Li Meixiang.
Just as they left the cellphone store, a young boy ran over excitedly, “Doctor!” He hadn’t expected to encounter Yang Lisheng and the others here.
“It’s you,” Yang Lisheng recognized him. He was the grandson of the old man he had saved on the train.
“Doctor, are you buying a phone? Did you find a good one?” the boy asked. If not, he would give them a phone; all the cellphone stores on this street were owned by his family, and he had come to inspect his father’s store.
