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

Shen Yuzhen suddenly became enthusiastic and went straight to greet Shen Jingjing: "I am Tang Song's friend. My name is Shen Yuzhen. You can just call me Zhenzhen."

Before Shen Jingjing could process what was happening, a smile instinctively appeared on her face: "Hello, hello."

This girl is cheerful and outgoing, and also quite pretty and cute.

Tang Song was also stunned. He knew a little about Shen Yuzhen’s outgoing and friendly personality, but this was too abrupt.

Why is he so enthusiastic towards his girlfriend's mother?

Doesn't this seem a bit lacking in boundaries?

Fearing that Shen Jingjing might feel uncomfortable, Tang Song quickly explained, "Auntie, Zhenzhen's grandfather and my grandfather are old friends. She grew up abroad, so she has a rather outgoing personality."

No wonder she was so enthusiastic, Shen Jingjing nodded knowingly.

Shen Yuzhen didn't care at all. She and Aci were good friends. What was wrong with being a little more enthusiastic towards her mother?

Looking down at the coat in Shen Jingjing's hand, the price tag still hanging on it, it was clearly from the store: "Auntie, are you picking out a coat? This one is nice, it suits your skin tone, it's cashmere, right?"

“I like it too, I was just about to buy it.” Shen Jingjing said, looking at the salesperson next to her: “I’ll take this one. I won’t participate in the extra discount for purchases over 20 yuan, just give me an 88% discount.”

"Okay, ma'am, I'll go and issue you the invoice. Please wait a moment."

Just as the sales assistant was about to leave, Shen Yuzhen stopped her again: "Wait a minute, isn't this part of the mall's extra discount promotion?"

The sales assistant nodded, and Shen Jingjing looked at Shen Yuzhen with surprise.

Shen Yuzhen grinned and waved the handbag in her hand: "I just bought a watch, it cost a little over two hundred."

The sales assistant looked embarrassed upon seeing this: "I'm sorry, miss, you can only enjoy this discount if you make the purchase yourself. That's the rule."

“I know, I’ll buy this coat!” Shen Yuzhen said.

Tang Song chuckled as he watched from the side, then walked up to Shen Jingjing and whispered, "Auntie, have Zhenzhen buy it with an extra discount, and then you can transfer the money to her."

Shen Jingjing suddenly realized that this trip had saved her a lot of money.

The sales assistant understood what they meant, and that this was indeed the right thing to do.

The last cashmere coat, originally priced at 12 yuan, was further discounted by 12% and then by 25%, so I only paid 7.2 yuan for it.

As soon as she left the store, Shen Jingjing couldn't wait to add Shen Yuzhen on WeChat and transfer the money to her: "Zhenzhen, thank you so much. Since you know Tang Song, we're going to eat roast duck anyway, why don't you come with us?"

Tang Song listened silently, knowing that his aunt was in charge today.

He thought Shen Yuzhen would decline, but to his surprise, her eyes lit up and she readily nodded: "Okay, thank you, Auntie."

"You're welcome. It's Auntie who should thank you."

The two walked forward hand in hand, chatting and laughing. Tang Song stood behind them, watching with his handsome brows slightly furrowed.

Is this right?

"Auntie, let me tell you a secret: Shen Ci and I are actually good friends. Tang Song, that simpleton, doesn't even know that yet."

Seeing that Tang Song hadn't followed, Shen Yuzhen secretly told Shen Jingjing this little secret.

Shen Jingjing's eyes lit up. In this way, Shen Yuzhen's seemingly overly enthusiastic actions suddenly made sense.

"No wonder, so you're Aci's friend."

Shen Yuzhen smiled sweetly, shook her head proudly, and said, "That's right, we had dinner together the day before yesterday. Auntie, let me tell you something really interesting and hilarious. I just returned to China, and my grandfather is trying to match me up with Brother Tang Song..."

Shen Yuzhen told Shen Jingjing all the funny stories about herself, Shen Ci, and Tang Song, making Shen Jingjing laugh until tears streamed down her face.

Tang Song followed behind and found it increasingly surreal. How could Shen Yuzhen steal the spotlight?

In the evening, Shen Ci returned to the dormitory after finishing her exam, where only Gu Lianxing was present.

"Pili hasn't returned yet?" Shen Ci asked upon seeing this.

Gu Lianxing, swaying on the swing hanging on the side of the desk, said, "You're back, but you rushed out again."

Seeing Shen Ci packing her change of clothes, she couldn't help but get up and walk over to ask, "Why are you packing all this? Don't you have an exam tomorrow?"

"My mom is here, so I have to go back to stay with her today. Tang Song and Zhenzhen accompanied her for a walk during the day."

"Is Auntie here?"

"Oh, right, after your exams tomorrow, you and Pili will come home with me. My mom made Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, she started making it yesterday, and she said she wanted me to take you guys home to eat it." Shen Ci said, raising her head and exclaiming dramatically, "Let me tell you, my mom's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is far superior to those so-called high-end restaurants in Longcheng."

"Just thinking about it makes my mouth water." Gu Lianxing chuckled. "I want to go eat it today."

"It's not done yet. My mom is very particular about this. It has to be stewed for at least 48 hours to bring out the essence of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Nowadays, many restaurants use semi-finished products, and there are very few that truly slow-cook Buddha Jumps Over the Wall."

“Then I’ll go back with you. Pili probably won’t be back tonight, and it’s no fun staying in the dorm by myself.”

“Sure, I’m driving now, so we won’t have to bother Uncle Jiang anymore. I hope my Cullinan hasn’t been too much of a burden for you, Miss?” Shen Ci joked.

Gu Lianxing wrapped her arms around Shen Ci's neck: "Of course not! And because of you, I now think it's really cool and stylish for girls to drive this kind of car. You've made me want to take a driving test. I'll ask my dad to buy me a Cullinan too!"

Thinking of Gu Lianxing's ridiculous sense of direction, Shen Ci let out a cold laugh: "For your own safety and for the safety of others, Miss, you'd better get in the car."

"What do you mean? You think I can't pass the exam?"

Shen Ci pursed her lips: "It's not that absolute, but I feel it will be a long process, so long that you might give up halfway through."

"Oh my!" Gu Lianxing's big eyes widened. "If you keep provoking me like this, I'm going to fall for it! I'll go to driving school and sign up as soon as the holidays start, and I'll definitely get my driver's license by spring!"

Shen Ci frowned, her expression pessimistic: "Let's not even talk about whether you can pass the test. Learning to drive in Longcheng's winter? You'll be freezing after just two trips. If you really want to learn, wait until spring or autumn, when the weather is nice and you won't suffer."

"No, I want to learn right now!" Gu Lianxing said confidently, "I'll slap you in the face once I get my certificate."

Shen Ci shrugged indifferently upon hearing this: "Fine, I can't wait to see Miss experience the hardships of life."

Gu Lianxing acted immediately, picking up her phone and calling Jiang Lingchuan. Once connected, she issued a command like a queen: "Jiang Lingchuan, I need to take my driver's license test. Contact the best driving school in Longcheng right now."

Seeing Shen Ci's furious outburst, Gu Lianxing hung up the phone and, noticing Shen Ci's expression, assumed she was unhappy with her attitude towards Jiang Lingchuan. So she blurted out, "He insists I do this. Don't you think he's a masochist?"
