Jiang Si Ran bought everything he could buy on the counter in one go, from his top and pants to his hairpin accessories, what he wanted to buy and what he wanted to buy.
At first, he would ask for Xia Mu's opinion, but later, without even asking, he raised his hand and pointed. Naturally, there would be people who went up to him and took what he wanted. It was rare for a sales lady to meet such a generous customer, so it was only natural that wherever Jiang Silan's gaze swept over, the sales staff's service would follow. He didn't even hesitate to choose several sets of clothes that could fit on a girl's body.
These clothes meant nothing to Jiang Si Ran. He only wanted to use this method to make up for the lack of clothes he had not seen in the past few years.
"Big bro." Seeing that the pile of clothes was increasing in height, Xia Mu became anxious. What was Jiang Si Ran trying to do? Was he trying to empty the counter?
Hearing Xia Mu's voice, Jiang Si Ran, who was very happy with his decision, said without turning his head, "Little Mo'er, if you're tired, you can sit there and rest."
"Brother, I don't want all of these!" Xia Mu said as he snatched the clothes from Jiang Si Ran's hands.
"Take the shoes, for the three colors." Jiang Si Ran raised his hand and pointed towards the counter before handing over a card.
"Brother, I really don't need these!" Xia Mu became anxious and wanted to chase the waiter, but Jiang Si Ran stopped him.
"Little Mo Er, remember what big brother told you. If money can do it, then it's not a problem." Remember, these things are nothing at all. Little Mo'er, big brother just doesn't want to see you work so hard! Do you understand? " Jiang Si Ran said in a low voice as he held onto Xia Mu's hand.
"But, this is your money, I can't accept it." Xia Mu raised his head and looked into Jiang Si Ran's eyes.
"Little Mo Er, what did you call me?" Men are gentle and persuasive.
"Big brother." Xia Mu answered honestly.
"Then shouldn't big brother buy something for little sister?"
"But, it's too much, and it's too valuable. Besides, I really don't need these. " This place was famous for being expensive. The pile of clothes and shoes added up together would probably cost a lot of money.
"Enough, what is expensive? As long as it suits my Little Mo'er, Big Bro will feel that it's worth it!" There was no way to refute a firm command.
"Big brother …"
As the two of them were talking, a voice rang out, "Miss Xia?"
Xia Mu raised his head and saw Wei Meng standing not far away.
"Miss Wei." Xia Mu didn't expect to meet Wei Meng here, so she opened her mouth to greet him.
At this moment, Jiang Si Ran, who was standing opposite Xia Mu, placed his hand on Xia Mu's shoulder. After hearing Wei Meng's voice, he turned around and put his arm around Xia Mu's shoulder.
From Wei Meng's point of view, she had misunderstood Jiang Si Ran's and Xia Mu's relationship. She had only called out for Xia Mu just now because she had a deep impression of Xia Mu in the hospital and didn't expect to meet him here.
The man was handsome, the girl was wearing a fresh ponytail, and standing beside the man in white, she looked especially harmonious. The man with his arm around the girl's shoulders, however, had only taken a glance before he turned to the side of the girl's face.
"Miss Xia, I originally thought that I recognized the wrong person. I never thought that it would really be you!" A trace of a smile appeared on Wei Meng's face as he spoke.
Apart from their first meeting at the hospital, this chance meeting in the department store was the second meeting between Xia Mu and Wei Meng.
At this moment, Xia Mu was wearing the new summer dress, which made the girl even whiter. Wei Meng had always been a regular customer of this brand, so he naturally knew the value of the clothes on Xia Mu's body.
Wei Meng pondered. If this man was not the child's biological father, then he might also be a potential customer. This thought spun in Wei Meng's mind, but the smile on her face did not diminish in the slightest. In all honesty, this single mother, whom he had only met twice, had raised Wei Meng's guard even higher.
At that moment, the scene from the hospital ward appeared in Wei Meng's mind. Mu Dongfang, who was usually cold and taciturn, actually had such a gentle smile.
As for Xia Mu, Wei Meng was getting more and more curious.
"Is the baby well?"
"Much better, thank you for your concern, Miss Wei." Xia Mu replied.
At this moment, a waiter walked over and said to Wei Meng, "Miss Wei, your clothes have arrived. Do you need to give it a try?"
The attendant had just finished speaking when Wei Meng said, "Miss Xia, I won't disturb you any further."
"Goodbye, Miss Wei." Xia Mu politely replied.
Only after seeing Wei Meng walk into another fitting room did Xia Mu heave a sigh of relief. Jiang Si Ran, who had been standing beside her the whole time, asked, "When did you meet that kind of person?"
"What kind of person?" Xia Mu looked at Jiang Si Ran and felt that his tone was very strange. He said, "Miss Wei is a good person, it was her and her boyfriend that saved the baby when she was in the hospital last time. She's a good person, big brother, can you not suspect that she's a bad person?"
"Alright, then whatever you say will be the truth." Jiang Si Ran looked at Xia Mu as he spoke with a pained expression. This little girl was still as innocent as ever. Jiang Si Ran was not wrong about the scheming that flashed in the woman's eyes earlier. However, he did not want to pursue it any further. After all, Little Mo'er was the one who accompanied him.
Thinking of that, Xia Mu thought to himself, since that man isn't willing to accept his medicine fees, then it should be possible for him to return the money to Wei Meng and then have Wei Meng transfer it over. In this way, wouldn't he be able to repay the favor he owed that man?
The more Xia Mu thought about it, the more he felt that this method was feasible.
"Brother, can I borrow some money?"
The door to the fitting room opened and a woman walked out. She was dressed in black, her back completely hollowed out, revealing the perfect figure of a woman with a myriad of beauties. It was a type of beauty that was completely different from Xia Mu's.
Wei Meng looked at himself in the mirror with satisfaction. He was already beginning to look forward to the day when Mu Dongdong would see this piece of clothing. Could it be that his deep eyes would be affected by it?
"Miss Wei …" A gentle voice came from behind him.
Wei Meng turned around and saw Xia Mu standing behind him. He heard her say, "This, please accept it."
An envelope was delivered in front of Wei Meng's eyes.
Looking at the envelope, Wei Meng slightly raised his brows. The smile on his face did not fade as he asked, "What is this?"
"This, this is the medical fees that the mister paid for me last time. I don't have any contact information to contact the mister either. Today, I met Miss Wei, so I wanted to ask you to return the money to the mister." Xia Mu did not know Mu Dong's name, so he used the name of the gentleman instead.
Perhaps it was due to a woman's instinct, but the day when Mu Dandong rushed into the emergency room with the baby in his arms, he led Nannan to wash her hands. Perhaps it was due to a woman's instinct, when Mu Dandong carried the baby in the hospital to rush into the emergency room, he led Nannan to wash her hands.
She subconsciously had a bad association with her child's mother. In her heart, she secretly didn't want Mu Dong Fang to come into contact with Xia Mu. Thus, Wei Meng didn't reject this envelope.
The white finger with the exquisite fingernail received the envelope and said, "I will give it to him."
Seeing that Wei Meng did not reject the envelope, Xia Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He felt as though a heavy burden had been weighing on his heart. In an instant, he relaxed, and she opened her mouth and said, "Thank you, Miss Wei."
"Relaxed?" Jiang Siran asked with a smile on his face as he looked at Xia Mu, who was obviously relieved.
"Yeah, I've finally returned the money." She had always disliked owing things to others. Even though it would take her two months of hard work to earn that few thousand yuan, Xia Mu didn't want to owe her a favor.
Jiang Si Ran's eyes were filled with a smile as he looked at that smiling face. He jokingly asked, "What do you owe me?"
Xia Mu turned his head to look at the man walking beside him, smiled and took Jiang Si Ran's arm, charmingly saying, "You are an elder brother, so I can return what I owe you slowly." "However, that gentleman doesn't know me well. I always think about things that he owes me."
"Hmm?" Jiang Si Ran pretended to be enlightened as he said, "So my Little Mo'er specializes in bullying acquaintances?" The smile in the man's eyes became deeper and his face became gentler.
"Yeah, since I was young, I've been bullied by you. Now, it's my turn to bully you!" She knew that Jiang Si Ran was treating her well. Therefore, in front of Jiang Si Ran, she could remove all of her strong outer appearance. She could laugh as she pleased, cry as she pleased, and truly enjoy the beauty of her life like a young girl in her twenties.
"Tsk tsk, you're getting more arrogant the more you talk!" Jiang Si Ran lifted his hand and poked Xia Mu's face, the smile on his lips growing wider.
"Big brother …" Xia Mu charmingly shouted out, as if he was protesting against Jiang Si Ran's actions earlier. His cute and nimble appearance caused the man to let out a loud laugh.
Wei Meng carried his shopping bag as he walked out of the department store. He sat in his car and made a call.
He didn't have to wait too long for the call to be picked up immediately. It was the same soft and polite voice. This man was always so polite, yet also always kept a distance from others.
"East, do you have time at night?"
The envelope containing the medical fees was currently lying in the front passenger seat, quietly waiting.
