Chapter 517 Shopping

Gu Zi could almost picture the spectacle that Li Li’s fiance’s family had made the previous afternoon. As Su Shen went to wash the dishes, she couldn’t help but give Su Jing a thumbs up. “That was quite a move,” she said, “Li Li is clearly no match for you.”

Li Li was the type who wasn’t particularly bright, yet harbored ill intentions. She had intended to outsmart Su Jing, but instead found herself outmaneuvered. She probably hadn’t expected that, and Gu Zi wondered if she had come to terms with it yet. She suspected Li Li would soon be seeking retribution from Su Jing.

Worried that Su Shen might overhear, Su Jing quickly covered Gu Zi’s mouth. “Please, Sister-in-law, don’t let my brother hear about this.”

They had spoken freely earlier, but had not mentioned that Su Jing was involved in the incident. If Su Shen found out, he might blame her for causing trouble for Gu Zi. She didn’t want to be scolded, and was prepared to face the consequences of her actions herself.

Gu Zi raised an eyebrow and made a zipping motion over her lips. She then went upstairs to fetch Su Le, who was still sleeping, along with the baby’s formula and diapers. These were all things Su Le would need while they were out.

After washing the dishes, Su Shen grabbed his car keys and loaded everything they needed into the car. He then drove his wife and sister-in-law into town to do some shopping.

Originally, Su Shen had planned to accompany Gu Zi around the mall, but now that Su Jing was with them, she could keep Gu Zi company. He decided to use this time to meet with Boss Huo for a discussion. He would pick them up later and drive them back to the village.

So, when they arrived at Xinghua Department Store in town, Gu Zi and Su Jing split from Su Shen.

On the second floor of the department store, Gu Zi pushed a small cart with Su Le sitting in it. The little girl had just woken up, her eyes barely open under her neat bangs. Her rosy cheeks made her look adorable, and Su Jing couldn’t resist reaching out to touch her. As they walked, she bent down to play with the little one, asking Gu Zi, “Sister-in-law, where did you get Lele’s hair cut? It’s so cute.”

A proud smile spread across Gu Zi’s face. “Of course, I cut it myself. No hair salon in town could do such a good job. And as for Lele’s hair, I always wash it with a special baby shampoo. It’s soft, shiny, and absolutely adorable!”

Upon hearing this, Su Jing nodded in agreement, a hint of sentimentality in her voice. “I must admit, you truly put your heart into it. Looking at Lele now, she’s as delicate and beautiful as a child actress on TV. Even my late sister, her own mother, might not have taken care of her as well as you have…”

Gu Zi spotted a shop selling heaters and paused, stepping inside to examine the few models on display. “I’m just doing what I think is right,” she said. “You don’t need to be so sentimental. If you truly believe that I’m doing what’s best for Su Lele, then all you need to do is put a little more heart into looking after her in the future.”

If Su Jing’s praise was merely lip service, Gu Zi didn’t feel any loss in not receiving it. Of course, she was unaware of the thoughts currently running through Su Jing’s mind and didn’t sense any change in her mood, given that they weren’t particularly close.

After purchasing a heater, Gu Zi left it at the shop for delivery. Someone would soon transport it to Su Shen’s car, so she didn’t need to worry about it. Gu Zi’s shopping trips were always about buying, buying, and more buying.

They then visited a clothing store, where Gu Zi selected three sets of winter clothes for Su Shen. After paying, they moved on. Passing a women’s clothing store, Gu Zi went in and picked out a white trench coat, holding it up against Su Jing. “Try this on. If it fits, I’ll buy it for you as a New Year’s gift.”

Gu Zi was always like this, treating her family members well. Having accepted this younger sister-in-law, she wouldn’t treat her differently and would shower her with affection.

These days, Su Jing had taken on almost all the household chores at the Su residence. It was only right for Gu Zi, as her sister-in-law, to show some appreciation.

Su Jing hadn’t expected to be included in the clothes shopping. She was, of course, delighted with the new clothes. More impressively, Gu Zi had an excellent eye for fashion. The trench coat she casually picked out was trendy and well-cut.

Obediently, Su Jing took the coat to try on. Looking at herself in the mirror, she found that it was more flattering and fit better than any clothes she had bought herself. Fearing that Gu Zi might change her mind, Su Jing asked for confirmation. “Sister-in-law, are you really buying this for me?”
