With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

Tang Song was not only good-looking and had good qualities, but he was also thoughtful and considerate. Shen Jingjing was very satisfied and pleased with him.

"Then I have to tell Aci. She told me to let her know if I'm going out."

Shen Jingjing did not refuse, thinking that since Tang Song had already made a special trip, she had nothing to do at home anyway.

Tang Song nodded: "Okay, I'll say hello to her too. Auntie, please get ready first, I'll wait for you downstairs."

About half an hour later, Shen Jingjing finished preparing and went downstairs.

"I'm all better now, Tang Song. Shall we go?"

Tang Song stood up and saw that Shen Jingjing was only wearing a cotton tracksuit, so he handed her the coat he was holding: "Auntie, you're not dressed warmly enough. Put my coat on and you'll be warmer."

Shen Jingjing took the gift and asked with concern, "Aren't you cold?"

Tang Song was wearing a brown sweater underneath. He smiled and shook his head: "I grew up in Longcheng. It's not even the coldest time yet. I'm used to it."

"Oh, by the way, Auntie, I also brought you some local specialties from Longcheng. They're in the cabinet by the door. Remember to take them with you when you go back. I prepared two of each kind, and I also prepared some for my aunt's family."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingjing couldn't suppress her joy: "Oh, look at you, child. Auntie is a little embarrassed. Why are you being so polite?"

"I'm not being polite at all, it's all what I should do. Auntie, please consider it as me extending my affection to you."

He was truly eloquent, yet hearing these words from Tang Song's mouth did not make one feel offended at all; in fact, it was enjoyable and delightful to hear.

After getting into Tang Song's jeep, the car drove towards the "SKP" shopping mall. On the way, Tang Song casually said, "Auntie, I'll take you to the mall first to buy a suitable warm coat, and then you can see where you want to go and I'll take you there."

"Don't let the name 'Ten Thousand Lights' fool you; this villa area is actually located in a quiet spot in the heart of the city. It's close to everything, making it convenient for us to go anywhere."

Shen Jingjing listened and nodded, simply following whatever Tang Song arranged.

"Auntie, is your Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup on the stove okay? Don't let it burn later."

Shen Jingjing laughed: "It's okay, it's only the second day, it won't stick to the pan."

Moreover, my daughter's gas stove has a hidden flame mode, which means it's not an open flame, completely eliminating the possibility of a fire caused by the gas stove. She can leave the house with food simmering on the stove without any worries.

Upon arriving at "SKP", Tang Song patiently accompanied Shen Jingjing as she shopped around the mall. Although the purpose was to buy a warm coat, since they were already there, he felt he had to accompany her to browse the shops and buy anything she liked.

"The Tang and Song dynasties."

While they were shopping, Shen Jingjing suddenly spoke up: "Auntie has to tell you this first. I'm very grateful that you're willing to take the time to bring me out for a stroll, but if I want to buy clothes or anything else today, I'll have to pay for it myself."

Shen Jingjing knew she couldn't spend Tang Song's money.

Tang Song is indeed her daughter's boyfriend, but that's all he has for now. They actually have no relationship. So Shen Jingjing understands that she absolutely cannot let Tang Song pay for her, otherwise it might cause an imbalance in the relationship between her daughter and Tang Song.

Moreover, this is not a matter of money; it is a matter of principle and a matter of stance.

Tang Song was very intelligent, so how could he not understand Shen Jingjing's meaning?

Moreover, the mother and daughter are very similar, because the aunt's thoughts are very similar to those of A-Ci.

Both of them have distinct principles in their way of thinking, and they express them without being sarcastic.

Tang Song chuckled and nodded: "No problem, Auntie, I'll do whatever you say, but you have to let me pay for the meal, right? I ate the meal you cooked yesterday, so I have to treat you to a meal in return, don't I?"

This time, Shen Jingjing didn't object: "Okay, isn't Longcheng famous for its roast duck? I'd like to try it."

"Okay, after we finish shopping, I'll take you to eat Peking duck."

Shen Ci gave her mother a card with 1,000 yuan in it. Shen Jingjing had never touched the money in the card until this shopping trip, when she used it for the first time.

As she strolled around, she discovered that the clothes in this mall were not cheap. A brand-name cashmere coat cost anywhere from a few cents to tens of dollars.

In the past, she would definitely have been reluctant to spend money, but now that she has witnessed her daughter's success, she has begun to have the desire to spend money.

"Madam, this coat is sold out in this size. There's only one left in this size. If you want it, it's 12% off. The original price was 12 yuan, and the price after the discount is 9.6 yuan. Moreover, this coat is participating in our mall's double discount promotion. As long as you spend 20 yuan or more in the mall today, you can participate in the double discount and get an additional 25% off. In the end, you can buy it for only 7.2 yuan."

Shen Jingjing finally chose a khaki cashmere coat, and looked at herself in the mirror again and again, quite pleased with it.

I used to think that these brands' expensive clothes were just overpriced, but you can only truly feel that you get what you pay for when you actually wear them. The quality and fit are incomparable to cheap clothes.

The promotion the salesperson mentioned gave Shen Jingjing a headache. It required spending twenty yuan to participate in the additional discount, which was clearly designed to make customers spend more money to buy things. Even though she understood this, Shen Jingjing still felt that it would be a loss not to participate in the additional discount.

This is the normal human thought process: people spend more money for discounts, thinking they're getting a good deal, but in reality, they're spending even more.

But if I don't get the lowest discount, I always feel like I'm spending too much money.

Tang Song patiently stayed by his side, showing no impatience whatsoever. Suddenly, a pretty figure appeared beside him, accompanied by a surprised voice: "Brother Tang Song?"

It's Shen Yuzhen!

"Zhenzhen?"

Tang Song was also surprised to see Shen Yuzhen. Since his grandfather's birthday celebration and his acquaintance with Shen Yuzhen, the two families had occasionally gathered and had become somewhat familiar with each other. Tang Song knew that his grandfather and Grandpa Zhu intended to bring them together, so he had initially deliberately kept his distance from Shen Yuzhen.

But as he got to know her better, he realized that Shen Yuzhen was a very cheerful girl. She never crossed any lines after learning that he had a girlfriend, and they gradually started to chat more.

"Is it really you? What are you doing here?"

As Shen Yuzhen spoke, she couldn't help but look around, thinking that he had come out with Shen Ci. She also wondered to herself, "Isn't Shen Ci taking an exam today?"

Could it be that he prioritized romance over friendship and rejected me, secretly running off to go shopping with Tang Song?

Are you with your girlfriend?

Tang Song smiled and said, "No, she has exams these two days, and her mother happened to come to Longcheng, so I accompanied her out for a stroll."

Aunt?

Shen Yuzhen then turned her gaze to Shen Jingjing in front of the dressing mirror, Aci's mother?

Hello, Auntie!
