Chapter 69 - The Enemy

"Then let's go. Let's hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the mall isn't closed yet. Let's take a walk for a while." Xiao Qiu wanted to pull her away as she said this.

"Wait for me, I need to go to the washroom." Su Jinyi packed her things and said to Xiao Qiu.

"Then hurry up, I'll be waiting for you."

Su Jinyi grabbed her bag and went to the bathroom, then took out her phone to send a message to He Ruiting.

"I'll accompany Xiao Qiu shopping tonight, you can go back first."

The message quickly returned, "How late is it? I'll pick you up. "

"No need, I'll go back by myself."

"Alright."

Su Jinyi was a little dazed when she saw the message that he had sent. If it was before, He Ruiting would probably insist on coming to pick her up. She felt that her relationship with He Ruiting had developed and gone back to normal.

Because Xiao Qiu was still waiting outside, she did not dawdle for too long. She put away her phone, tidied up her hair a bit and went out.

Xiao Qiu was just a normal office worker, the shopping mall that she went shopping was also a place she could afford to stay. This shopping mall was not too big, and the goods inside were also not bad.

"Jinyi, why aren't you looking at it? Is there nothing else you want to buy?" Xiao Qiu was already holding two bags in her hands. They were a skirt and a pair of shoes that she had just bought.

"No, I just didn't see anything suitable. Let's go for a stroll." Su Jinyi smiled and shook his head, looking at Xiao Qiu with an apologetic expression. Since he had agreed to accompany her shopping, he should have been happy to accompany her, and should not keep thinking about his own matters.

"Alright, let's go over there and take a look." Xiao Qiu did not mind, and pointed to a spot on the other side that she had yet to reach.

"Yes." Su Jinyi held Xiao Qiu's arm and walked over.

The two of them had been walking around ever since they arrived, and since they didn't have time to eat, Xiao Qiu felt a little hungry.

"I'll treat you to dinner." Su Jinyi suggested.

"I'm the one who asked you to accompany me shopping, how can I ask you to treat me?" Xiao Qiu said.

"You're still arguing with me about this," Su Jinyi laughed, "Look at the thing in your hand, if you invite me to dinner again, would you be able to finish Christmas at the end of the month?"

"Hehehe, Jinyi, you're so nice." Xiao Qiu smiled at her with gratitude.

"Let's go. I'll take you to have a feast." With that, Su Jinyi left the shopping mall with Xiao Qiu.

Since he was going to treat Xiao Qiu to a meal, he would have to choose a place that she liked. Xiao Qiu liked to eat hotpot, so Su Jinyi picked a pretty good hotpot restaurant.

"Jinyi, this store isn't cheap, why don't we go somewhere else?" Xiao Qiu looked at the luxurious decorations of the shop, and felt a little embarrassed to let her spend so much.

"It's my treat. What are you worried about? Let's go." Su Jinyi laughed as she pulled her in.

Under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them found a comfortable place to sit down. Xiao Qiu looked at the menu, and didn't dare order. What if she didn't have the money to pay the bill in the end?

Therefore, Xiao Qiu had only ordered a few very cheap things. Looking at her, Su Jinyi could naturally guess what was on her mind. She took the menu and ordered a lot of things, not caring about the price.

"Jin Yi, don't you think you're asking for too much?" Seeing the waiter leave, Xiao Qiu worriedly said to Su Jinyi, "There's only two of us, what if we can't finish it?"

"It's fine, I believe in your fighting strength." Su Jinyi said with a smile.

The dishes were served very quickly, and the hot pot's fragrance very quickly stimulated the two people's taste buds. Su Jinyi looked at Xiao Qiu and said: "Eat a little more.

"Let's eat first." Xiao Qiu said as she started to move her chopsticks.

In truth, Su Jinyi did not order much, and very quickly, they had eaten their fill. Su Jinyi called a waiter over, and added some more dishes, causing Xiao Qiu to eat happily, and did not notice anything.

"Eat first, I need to go to the washroom." Su Jinyi said to her after eating half of it.

"En, go and come back quickly. There are so many in the wok, I can't finish them all. They'll be boiled in a bit." Xiao Qiu said to her, her mouth full.

When Su Jinyi came out of the washroom, she met a person; Su Jingran. Why didn't she think that the An City was actually this young? You could meet her here for a hot pot.

Originally, Su Jinyi planned to pretend that he did not see her and directly walk over. However, Su Jingran did not let her leave and stood in front of her.

"You didn't even greet me when you saw me?" Su Jingran said.

"Do I know you well?" Su Jinyi did not even want to look at her, and wanted to walk over.

"No matter what, we all have the same blood on us. Why are you so heartless?" Su Jingran stopped her once again.

"What are you trying to do?" Su Jinyi said somewhat impatiently.

"Did Yi call you earlier?" Su Jingran did not know that Su Yuancheng and Li Yi were looking for him on official business, she had only seen the call log on Li Yi's phone.

"Go ask your Brother Yi." Su Jinyi sneered, so it was all for this matter.

"You!" Su Jingran asked angrily.

"Ah, right. The tone that he used to call back then is really …" Su Jinyi stopped here, shot Su Jingran a glance, and then left after knocking against her shoulder.

Returning back to his seat, Xiao Qiu finished her meal.

"What took you so long? You're almost done eating." Xiao Qiu said to her as he drank the drink in front of him.

"I've also pretty much finished, let's finish eating and go." Su Jinyi laughed, seeing that there was still some food left on the table, she did not want to waste it.

The two of them sat for another half an hour, sweeping up all the food on the table before taking the bill to the front desk to check out the bill.

After eating a pot of hot pot for over six hundred dollars, Xiao Qiu stood next to Su Jinyi and felt very embarrassed.

"I let you spend it." Exiting the shop, Xiao Qiu scratched his head and said to her.

"What are you saying? It's just a hot pot." Su Jinyi said, "Where do you live? I'll take you home? "

"No need, I won't be far from here. I'll be back soon." Xiao Qiu said.

Finally, Su Jinyi stopped a car at the side of the road and the two got in. She first sent Xiao Qiu back home, then told the driver about the He family's address.

As a result, on the way, the driver's car broke down and it was inconvenient to take a taxi nearby.

"Miss, I'm sorry, but I might not be able to give it to you." The driver's face was full of apology.

"It's fine, I'll give you the car money." Su Jinyi could understand, so she took out a piece of money from her bag and handed it over.

The driver found her some money and said, "I'll give you half of it."
