Chapter 12
Chapter 11, I Am Mu Cheng
Under the urging of the three children and the salesperson, Li Xu still entered the shop and changed her clothes.
While Li Xu was changing in the changing room, the salesperson even brought candies for the three children to eat.
Ji Zixuan waved his hand like an adult, “Thank you, Auntie. I won’t eat.”
Ji Zi’ang, this glutton, grinned, “I’ll help Big Brother eat.”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Ji Zi’ang’s expression and shook her head helplessly. Ji Zi’ang was really unlikeable when he was young.
Ji Yuanyuan stuffed the candy in his hand into Ji Zi’ang’s hand in exchange for a flattering smile.
Ji Yuanyuan looked out of boredom. Outside the shop, a boy in shabby clothes hurried past as if he was hiding from something.
Ji Yuanyuan subconsciously thought, looking at the boy’s clothes, he looks like a beggar. He didn’t come in to steal something, was he being chased?
However, Ji Yuanyuan’s thoughts were quickly interrupted by Li Xu.
She came out of the changing room and gently stroked the clothes on her body.
“This doesn’t seem to suit me…” There was an awkward smile on her face.
She had seen the tag earlier; this dress cost a hundred and twenty dollars.
Besides, she had never worn such a dress before.
Ji Yuanyuan’s eyes lit up, “Mommy, this dress looks great. It suits you very well.”
Ji Zixuan looked her up and down and nodded his head approvingly, “Mommy, let’s buy this one.”
Ji Zi’ang’s mouth was stuffed with candy as he mumbled, “Mom, you look like a movie star in this dress.”
Li Xu smiled bitterly, “This dress doesn’t suit me, forget it.”
As she said this, she turned around. Ji Yuanyuan was about to step forward to stop her when the salesperson grabbed Li Xu’s hand, “Big Sis, wait a moment.”
She quickly took out a rubber band, hairpin, and comb. “Your hair doesn’t fit. Let me change your hairstyle.”
At this moment, Li Xu’s hair was tied into a low ponytail. The messy hair on her forehead naturally did not look good.
Li Xu was pulled to sit down by the salesperson. Under the other party’s skillful hands, the low ponytail was quickly coiled up.
Li Xu seemed to have changed into a completely different person.
She stood in front of the mirror in a daze.
“Big Sister, a woman can’t be unwilling to spend money. A man, no matter how old he is, likes good-looking and exquisite women. If you are unwilling to spend money, there are plenty of people outside who will spend it on you…” The salesperson stood by the side and muttered.
When Li Xu heard this, her expression immediately changed.
Actually, when she was young, she was much prettier than Shen Mei.
However, she was a person who lived a down-to-earth life. Ever since she gave birth to Ji Zixuan, she no longer paid attention to dressing herself up. She washed her face with clean water every day and did not put on anything else. She also had not bought clothes for many years.
“I’ll buy them,” Li Xu said calmly with a determined tone.
Yes, if a woman did not love herself, who would love her. contemporary romance
When she came out of the shop, a bag appeared in Li Xu’s hand.
It was her old clothes. She was still wearing that blue suit.
It was Ji Yuanyuan’s request. She said that she looked good in this outfit and would not let her take it off no matter what.
Li Xu brought her three children to buy some food before she planned to go home.
However, just as she walked out of the mall, she saw a group of people gathered in front of her.
“Let go of me, this person is a human trafficker. I’m not his son…”
“What nonsense are you talking about? Although your mother and I are divorced, I’ll always be your father. Hurry up and follow me home. You’re not allowed to go to your mother’s place again.”
“I am really not his son. I am from B City. I was kidnapped by him.”
…
Ji Yuanyuan passed by and did not take it seriously at first. When she heard about B city, she suddenly thought of something.
She remembered that in her previous life when Ji Jianguo brought them here to buy clothes, she had saved a little boy.
She had run around aimlessly and accidentally bumped into the little boy. Ji Jianguo ran over to apologize, and the boy took the opportunity to ask Ji Jianguo for help.
Ji Jianguo then called the police. Later, he found out that the boy’s family was from B City and had some money. Because of some business disputes, the only son of the family was kidnapped to this place.
Later, the boy’s family sent some money to Ji Jianguo, and then he resigned and used the money to start a business.
Ji Yuanyuan held Li Xu’s hand and said in a low voice, “Mom, let’s save that brother. That uncle is a bad person.”
Li Xu was a little puzzled. “How do you know? That uncle is that child’s father.”
Ji Yuanyuan was a little anxious, “No, that uncle is a bad person.”
Li Xu hesitated for a moment, but she still squeezed into the crowd with her three children.
This boy was the shabby-dressed boy that Ji Yuanyuan had seen at the entrance of the women’s clothing store.
The boy’s face gradually overlapped with the memories of his previous life.
She was almost certain that this boy was the boy that Ji Jianguo had saved in his previous life.
“Brother Goudan, why are you here? Who is this uncle?” Seeing that the man was about to take the boy away, Ji Yuanyuan asked in a panic.
The boy was also very quick-witted and quickly reacted. He looked at Ji Yuanyuan and said, “This uncle is a bad person. Quickly, go and find my parents.”
Ji Yuanyuan’s expression became a little anxious, “Brother Goudan, wait for me. I’ll go now…”
Li Xu looked at the crowd, “I know this boy. He’s the child of my neighbor.”
...
Only then did the crowd react. So this man was really a human trafficker.
People of this era were very enthusiastic.
Seeing this, a few tall and big crowd of men stepped forward and tried to catch the man.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man turned around and ran away.
A few people chased after him, but they lost him in a few seconds.
It was obvious that the man was a martial artist.
The boy looked embarrassed, but he knew how to be polite. He looked at Li Xu and said, “Thank you for saving me. Leave me your number. When I find my family, I will ask them to repay you.”
Li Xu shook her head. “It’s nothing, we don’t need you to repay us.”
After a pause, she asked again, “Do you remember where you live? Do you want me to take you to the police station?”
The boy shook his head, “I remember my home number. I want to make a call.”
Li Xu looked around and quickly saw a phone in a small shop along the street.
...
“Let’s go, there’s one over there.” Li Xu pointed.
The boy nodded his head lightly and followed Li Xu over.
Ji Yuanyuan’s hand was held by Ji Zixuan’s, but her gaze was fixed on the boy.
Why did this boy’s face look so familiar? It was as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Ji Zixuan asked in a low voice, “Yuanyuan, what’s wrong? Are you tired? Do you want Big Brother to carry you?”
Ji Yuanyuan shook his head with a heart full of thoughts.
At this time, cell phones were still not common. Only a few rich people would have a big brother and a BB phone.
However, there were many small shops on the street. There were landlines in the shops. One had to pay for a call. Usually, it was 40-50 cents a minute.
The boy picked up the phone and skillfully dialed the number. In two seconds, the phone was picked up.
“Grandpa, it’s me. I’m Mucheng. I’m fine…”
