Stop Messing Around, Mr Bo!

A familiar voice came through the phone.

“Hello, Fanxing!”

Shen Fanxing smiled and in a gentle tone, she said, “Good afternoon, Grandma Bo.”

“Have you had lunch?”

Shen Fanxing took in the faint smell of steamboat lingering in the living room, her heart rattling slightly.

“I’ve just eaten.”

“Oh, that’s a pity. I actually wanted to have lunch with you.”

“Sorry, Grandma Bo.”

“No worries, we can have it next time. Fanxing, can you accompany me to shop?”

Shen Fanxing was taken aback by this request.

“Grandma, you’ve yet to take a nap and shopping can be quite taxing…”

Before Shen Fanxing finished speaking, she heard a sign coming from the old lady, instantly arousing a sense of pity.

“I haven’t had someone to shop with me for so long. Ever since I’ve been in a wheelchair, even the most interesting thing in my life has been taken away. How pitiful am I…”

“Grandma, I’ll accompany you.”

“Okay! Good girl. We’ll meet at the New World Shopping Mall.”

“Alright!”

The New World Shopping Mall was massive and spacious.

Centred in a flourishing area, it had a park, izumi, shopping malls…

The flourishing area had a high population density, which made New World Shopping Mall packed like sardines.

There were top brands with global rankings, and a plethora of items sold, each one of them pricey.

That was also where the affluent ones would spend their time at.

Since it was under one of Bo Company’s businesses.

Shen Fanxing drove to the mall and despite it being a Monday, she took a long time to find a parking space.

She had already spotted Grandma Bo and Lai Rong while she was looking for a parking space.

This allowed her to find the duo immediately after parking.

“Sorry, Grandma, there were limited parking slots.”

“No worries!” Lady Bo smiled, not bothered by her lack of punctuality.

Shen Fanxing took over the role of pushing the wheelchair naturally and the duo went into the mall.

“What do you want to buy, Grandma?”

“Let’s go to the clothes’ section. How can women not buy any clothing in a mall?”

“Okay,”

answered Shen Fanxing as she pushed the wheelchair into the passenger elevator, not bothered by the fact that Grandma was actually referring to her.

She thought Grandma was just being vain and youthful.

They had shopped for a while in the clothes’ section before they stopped under the brand—Kana’s—shop.

In the well-renovated franchised store, there were two sections, one for casual outfit and the other was for dresses.

Yet, Lady Bo went straight to the dresses’ section, her youthful eyes scrutinising the dresses in the shop.

That was when Shen Fanxing felt something was amiss, she uttered, “Grandma, this is…”

At the same time, Grandma had seen a captivating dress. Pointing at it, she exclaimed,

“Fanxing, that dress looks good. Go and give it a try!”

This confirmed Shen Fanxing’s suspicions that Grandma was indeed choosing a dress for her.

“Grandma, why the sudden thought to shop for a dress for me? I don’t lack one…”

“Ms Shen, the Bo Family has an important banquet this Friday and Madam really wants you to attend it,”

said Lai Rong who was beside Lady Bo.

“The banquet on Friday? Bo Jinchuan seemed to have mentioned it…”

Shen Fanxing trailed off, having a feeling that Grandma and Bo Jinchuan’s so-called “banquet” referred to the same event.

Something flashed across Lai Rong’s eyes.
