Chapter 262: 097: Mysterious Boss Tricks Zheng Xianjing, Rescuing Boss Ni_6
After some thought, Ni Yang picked out a similar one for Ni Cuihua.
Ni Cuihua had led a tough life in her earlier years. Ni Yang wanted her later years to be a little sweeter.
Ni Cuihua immediately said, “Don’t waste your money, child, I don’t need this! I really don’t need it!”
Ni Yang laughed and replied, “Mom, it’s not that much money. Don’t worry. Besides, gold can appreciate in value!”
The salesperson quickly gathered up the jewelry, “Aunt, this is your daughter’s show of filial piety. Please, take them! It’s hard to find such a good daughter these days, even with a lantern.”
A wide smile spread across Ni Cuihua’s face.
Indeed, it would be difficult to find a good daughter like Ni Yang, even with a lantern. She must have saved up good karma in her past life to have such a wonderful daughter in this life.
The total cost of the jewelry came to 3,000 yuan.
While it was nothing to Ni Yang, but for Ni Cuihua, it was a fortune.
After all, she had never even seen 30 yuan in the past.
Once they finished their shopping, the mother and daughter, carrying their purchases, headed in the direction of the noodle restaurant.
Although it was already afternoon, the streets were still crowded with people, old and young, all crammed together. They rarely set foot outside even once a year, only taking the chance to explore during the holidays.
Curiosity was irresistible.
A small girl stood in the middle of the road, staring blankly at a candied hawthorn vendor, oblivious to the honking horn.
A car was about to run into the little girl, a figure darted over, scooping her up and rolling out of the way at lightning speed.
“Screech–”
The sound of emergency brakes being activated echoed, missing the little girl by a whisker. If that person had moved even slightly slower, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Waah!” The little girl immediately burst into tears out of fright.
Ni Yang stood up holding the little girl, dusting off her clothes, and gently comforting her, “It’s okay now, it’s okay.”
Catching sight of Ni Yang from the back seat of the car, a clear view of her profile can be seen.
It’s the same girl again.
A hint of a smile surfaced in the man sitting in the back seat. He stopped the driver from getting out of the car, “I’ll go myself.”
“Chairman?” The driver was taken aback.
The man was already getting out of the car.
“I’m sorry, are you two alright?” The man walked over to Ni Yang.
“I’m fine,” Ni Yang shook her head, “The little girl might be a bit frightened, though.”
The man continued, “Young lady, we really should thank you. If it weren’t for you, we might be facing a lawsuit. My name is Shangguan Xu. Here is my business card.”
If he hadn’t witnessed it himself, he wouldn’t have believed that a young girl could have shown such courage in the face of danger.
In such situations, many people wouldn’t risk themselves to save a child, even if they are sure they could.
Everyone values their own life.
Ni Yang took the card, her tone was light, “Please drive more carefully in the future. It’s already the end of the year, and nobody wants accidents.” Turning her attention to the still sobbing little girl, she spoke softly, “Little girl, you can’t stand in the middle of the road lost in thought, okay? It was very dangerous today. Remember, you only have one life.”
At her words, Shangguan Xu was slightly taken aback.
He had expected Ni Yang to solely blame him and push all the responsibility onto him, since he was the one who started this. Surprisingly, Ni Yang was teaching the little girl some lessons. It seemed she was not as he had imagined.
Moreover, she didn’t react particularly when she saw the business card. She was so calm, not like a young girl, but more like someone who had seen the world.
The little girl was terrified, covering her eyes and sobbing softly.
Ni Yang continued, “Stop crying now. How about I buy you a candied hawthorn stick, would you like that?”
Upon hearing the words “candied hawthorn”, the little girl instantly stopped crying, removing her hands from her eyes. “Re-really?”
Ni Yang nodded, “Of course it’s true. But you have to promise me not to daydream in the middle of the road.”
“Okay, big sister, I promise you.” The little girl blinked her eyes, and then said: “Wow! Big sister, you are so pretty!”
Ni Yang smiled gently, leading the little girl over to buy two sticks of candied hawthorn.
With a candied hawthorn stick in hand, the little girl had a satisfied smile on her face.
Shangguan Xu followed over.
Ni Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, “Is there something else, Mr. Shangguan?”
