Du Jiayi, who was a little frustrated, saw that her father had not come out yet, so she took out her phone and called Madam Li. She called Madam Li twice but they went unanswered. Du Jiayi was so frustrated that even the sound of cicadas in the surrounding area annoyed her.
After a while, her cell phone vibrated in her pocket. Du Jiayi, who had a dark expression, saw that it was Madam Li and immediately picked up the call.
The caller ID showed that it was Madam Li, but the voice did not belong to her.
“Jia Jia, it’s Aunt Xiao. I’m sorry, your mother is trying on a gown and didn’t get to pick up your calls in time. What’s the matter?”
Madam Xiao’s gentle and kind voice was heard. Du Jiayi smiled. “Aunt Xiao, you’re with my mother. It’s fine. I just wanted to ask her how the preparations are going.
“Aunt Xiao, are you going with us tonight? That’s great. That way, I’ll have two mothers to accompany me.”
The series of questions made Madam Xiao smile. She said to Madam Li, who had walked out of the fitting room and was standing in front of the mirror. She was being tidied up by the attendant at the counter. “Chenglan, Jia Jia is going to cling to you and me again tonight. This won’t do. We have to chase her away.
“If she stays with us, those outstanding young masters won’t dare to come over and talk to her. We’ll delay Jiayi from finding a boyfriend again.”
Madam Li was choosing a gown to attend Madam Qin’s birthday party tonight at the mall. Her cell phone was in her bag, and Madam Xiao was holding her bag. That was why she couldn’t pick up Du Jiayi’s calls in time.
When she walked out of the fitting room, she heard from her good friend that her phone had rung twice. She immediately asked her good friend to see who it was.
After knowing that it was her daughter, she asked her good friend to call her back.
Hearing this, she couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s not like you don’t know that this child is a domineering person. She won’t show any fear even if she follows us. We can’t let her be alone even for ten minutes. She hates that sort of thing the most.”
After she finished speaking, she said to the attendant who was squatting in front of her, “My waist feels a little uncomfortable. Did you get the size wrong?”
This was a famous store that made custom-made cheongsam in the capital city. Madam Li and Madam Xiao were old customers here.
The attendant quickly unzipped the invisible zipper and folded it inside. Then, she pulled the zipper up again. Only then did Madam Li feel that her waist was not tense.
When it was Madam Xiao’s turn to try on a gown, Madam Li took the phone.
This time, she didn’t turn on the loudspeaker. When she heard her daughter’s voice, she waited for Madam Xiao to enter the fitting room before saying gently, “Your father called me just now and said that Qin Xiu arrived at the military with you guys at the same time. Jiayi, did you tell him what’s happening tonight?”
Du Jiayi, who was in a bad mood, said in a low voice, “I didn’t. Dad asked for me. He said that he’ll try to make it.
“Mom, although Aunt Qin has the intention, I can’t force Qin Xiu if he doesn’t agree. I don’t want him to have a bad impression of me. Also…”
She paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, I feel that he’s very cold to me. He doesn’t treat me differently just because Aunt Qin likes me.
