“Oh.” Chen Meng’er was very interested, but she still had to give face to Elder Liu. “Then my brothers, Uncle Da Peng, you guys continue to eat. I’ll be right back.” 

Chen Haoguo, Chen Haoxuan, and Da Peng all nodded vigorously. They were just about to say, “Hurry up and leave.” One had to know that the three of them had been nervous ever since Elder Liu appeared. Something was wrong with their bodies. They almost threw down their chopsticks and stood up from their chairs to salute Elder Liu. 

They were sure that if Elder Liu stayed a little longer, they would lose their good appetite just now. 

Chen Meng’er knew that the people Elder Liu was going to introduce to her were not ordinary people. However, when she followed Elder Liu to their private room and heard Elder Liu introduce the people to her one by one, she was still a little surprised. 

Everyone present was from the upper echelons of S City’s official circles, from the mayor to the directors of various bureaus. Chen Meng’er, on the other hand, observed for a moment and discovered that everyone in the box was wary of Elder Liu when they faced him. Some even tried to curry favor with him. 

Elder Liu had asked her to come only to introduce Chen Meng’er to the people present so that they could recognize her face. He wanted them to recognize her the next time they saw her. 

Therefore, Chen Meng’er went through the motions and was sent back to their box by Zhuge Yu. 

After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Chen Meng’er waved her small hand and led everyone to the largest department store in the city. 

Chen Meng’er herself was eating, drinking, and wearing all kinds of clothes. Not to mention the Qu’s shopping mall in Chen Meng’er’s portable space, even the clothes and shoes that she was wearing right now were all prepared for her by Elder Liu. 

Moreover, the small clothes that Chen Meng’er was wearing could not even be bought in China. They were all brought back from abroad by Elder Liu. 

As for Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan, it was also thanks to their sister, Chen Meng’er. Elder Liu had people bring clothes for Chen Meng’er from abroad all the time. When it came to shoes, he would always help Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan by bringing back a set. 

Although the clothes Elder Liu gave to the brothers didn’t have as many patterns as Chen Meng’er’s, in this era where it was good to have a new set of clothes to wear every year, the two brothers were very satisfied with the fact that they could have new clothes to wear from time to time. 

After entering the department store, Chen Haoguo and Chen Haoxuan looked around. If not for the fact that Chen Meng’er had warned them sternly before entering, saying that there were too many people in the department store and they would get lost if they were not careful, they would have run around. 

“Little Miss, what do you need to buy?” Da Peng did not have the habit of accompanying women shopping, so he was not used to the crowd in the department store. Just as he walked in through the door, he frowned. 

“I want to buy some clothes for my parents.” Yes, the most important thing for Chen Meng’er this time was to buy clothes for Chen Ping and Liu Juan. 

In the Qu’s shopping mall in Chen Meng’er’s space, there were many luxurious clothes. Even the limited editions of those luxury accessories were available in the shopping mall. However, Chen Meng’er couldn’t take out these clothes at all. Not to mention that Chen Meng’er didn’t know what excuse to use to explain where these clothes came from, what Chen Meng’er was more worried about was that when these clothes were taken out, they would attract the attention of others. 

It had been a few years since that special era, but compared to the openness of the later generations, the freedom of speech was far from it. Chen Meng’er didn’t want to bring trouble to her parents. 

As for Chen Ping and Liu Juan, they were both thrifty people. Even if they had a huge sum of money in their hands now, they were unwilling to buy a new set of clothes for themselves. Chen Meng’er looked at the old and even patched clothes on their bodies. She mentioned it several times and asked them to buy a few new clothes for themselves. But they agreed to it verbally and turned around to put the matter to the back of their minds. 

What made Chen Meng’er not know whether to laugh or cry was that she had heard her mother, Liu Juan, complain to her father, Chen Ping, several times that she still wanted to buy beautiful clothes for their daughter to dress up properly now that she was rich, now, this benefit had been snatched away by Elder Liu. There was nothing for her to do as a mother. 

Sometimes, Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but compare her mother from her previous life with her mother from this life. Until now, she still couldn’t understand why her mother from her previous life would ignore her biological daughter so much. On the contrary, her mother, Liu Juan, who wasn’t related to her by blood in this life, treated her so well. 

“Then let’s go to the second floor. I think I saw that the second floor was selling clothes,” Da Peng said after thinking for a while after listening to Chen Meng’er’s words. Meanwhile, Da Peng could not help but feel lucky. He was glad that when he entered the department store just now, he paid attention to his surroundings and noticed the hint. Otherwise, he would have to accompany Chen Meng’er and the others to finish searching downstairs, only then would he go up to the second floor, 

if that was really the case, who knew when he would reach the second floor. 

The number of people on the second floor of the department store was much less than on the first floor. This way, Chen Meng’er could finally see the layout of the entire second floor clearly. For those who had personally participated in the QU Corporation’s large shopping mall, Chen Meng’er really did not think much of the layout of the department store now. 

Not only did she not think much of it, Chen Meng’er also felt that it was a little embarrassing. And Chen Meng’er also unconsciously expressed her true thoughts. She shook her head, her face full of disappointment. 

Da Peng noticed the expression on Chen Meng’er’s face, he lowered his head and asked, “Little Miss, what’s wrong? Are you not satisfied? If you’re not satisfied, we’ll go back and tell Sir. The next time we bring you clothes from abroad, we’ll also bring a few back for your parents,” Da Peng suggested. 

“No need. It’s not that I’m not satisfied with the clothes. It’s just that I’m not satisfied with the layout of the department store,” Chen Meng’er said as she touched her chin. An idea formed in her mind. “Let’s go. Let’s hurry up.” 

Chen Meng’er temporarily put aside the idea in her mind and began to slowly shop. 

With Chen Meng’er’s eyes, she did not like any of these clothes. But today, she had to choose a few suitable clothes for her parents from the clothes she did not like this time..
