Transmigrated into a wealthy family's stepmother, I raised the villain into a sweet child.
Chapter 7: Has there been no experience of abandonment in this lifetime?
Jinxi naturally didn't notice Zanzan's restrained gaze. She took the child directly into a store that sold children's clothing. She picked out a few sportswear items and then took Zanzan into the fitting room.
When Zhou Yanqian reached the door of the fitting room, he realized what she wanted to do.
She actually wanted to take off his clothes!
Perhaps it was because the expression on his face was too shocked that Jinxi was amused.
She bent down, trying to make her eyes look at Zan Zan's eyes, and chuckled, "You have to try on clothes to know if they fit. After you buy them, you'll have to get up early and exercise with me."
Zhou Yanqian was utterly horrified and turned to leave.
But Jinxi wouldn't let him off so easily. She picked him up with one hand, and with the other hand she carried his clothes, and led him into the fitting room.
As she walked, she soothed him, "Just try on the pants and top. Let's buy a few sets to take home first. After you've tried them on, I'll take you to buy ice cream, okay?"
When we came in, we passed an ice cream shop. Zan Zan peeked at it several times. The little rascal probably thought she hadn't noticed, but she had actually noticed it a long time ago. However, she didn't buy it right away because she was trying on clothes.
Zhou Yanqian sat stiffly on her arm. Wasn't this woman supposed to be unable to lift anything with her hands or shoulders? How could she lift him up so easily?
Jinxi led him into the fitting room and was about to undress him when Zhou Yanqian finally "came to life": "I can dress myself!"
Looking at him, Jinxi felt as if if she made another move, Zanzan's eyes would pop out of their sockets.
She couldn't help but wonder what the original owner had done before she arrived that frightened him.
Jinxi thought about it carefully. At this time, the original owner was still in a rather "timid" stage. He basically hinted to others to do things. Yesterday, throwing away the puppy doll was the first time he had done it himself.
However, seeing Zan Zan's wary expression, she softened her voice a bit: "Okay, then you can put it on yourself. If you don't know how, I'll help you, okay?"
Zhou Yanqian said in a harsh tone, "Get out!"
Jinxi didn't insist. Children also have a sense of shame, especially since in Zanzan's eyes, she was still a wicked stepmother.
Jinxi said, "I'll be right at the door. Call me if you need anything."
However, if I had known that Zan Zan would resist so much, I would have insisted on calling Butler Zhao along, so that at least the child would have someone to help with changing clothes.
Jinxi stood quietly outside the fitting room, waiting for Zanzan to change her clothes.
Just then, her phone vibrated twice. She took it out and saw that it was a message from the original owner's mother, You Qing.
[You Qing: Why haven't you called back? Don't you know I'm waiting for your reply?]
Jinxi had completely forgotten about it. She looked down and replied with a message: 【What is it?】
She had barely sent the message when the other party called, and now it seemed like they wouldn't give up until she answered.
As soon as Jinxi answered the phone, the person on the other end said somewhat displeasedly, "So you know how to answer the phone? Why didn't you answer my calls this morning?"
"Busy." Jinxi asked, "What's wrong?"
You Qing seemed quite dissatisfied with her attitude, but business was more important: "I heard that Lin Xu is coming back from abroad in a couple of days. Your brother has a project that he wants to collaborate on with the Zhou family. You and Lin Xu can come over for a casual meal then."
Jinxi's gaze fell on the mirror beside her, and as she admired herself, she said, "I'm busy."
Before she could even properly examine the original owner's face, Jin Xi realized that the original owner and she looked exactly alike, even down to the location of the mole on the tip of the nose.
But the original owner's skin was much better than hers, fair and smooth, and she couldn't help but touch it with her fingers.
Hearing Jin Xi's refusal, You Qing on the other end of the phone was clearly very dissatisfied. She said, "Jin Xi, don't forget, if it weren't for our Jin family, could you have married Zhou Linxu and turned from a nobody into a phoenix? This marriage should have originally belonged to your sister!"
The original owner's younger sister is You Qing's biological daughter, who was born after she came to the Jin family. She is four years younger than the original owner.
Jin Xi replied lazily, "What does it have to do with me? Don't call me again, it's annoying."
After saying that, Jinxi hung up the phone and blocked You Qing's phone number and WeChat.
The family is raising the original owner of this body, not her, so she's not going to be that sucker.
She didn't even notice that Zhou Yanqian had changed his clothes and come out.
Zhou Yanqian watched for a while before walking over.
Jinxi then noticed him, and when she turned her head, her eyes lit up.
She laughed and said, "So handsome! Zan Zan is the most handsome kid."
The sales assistant next to him nodded repeatedly: "Yes, your child is really too handsome. I wonder how many girls he will charm when he grows up."
Jin Xi thought that many girls liked him, but as he grew up, he only liked the female lead.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanqian couldn't help but purse his lips. Did she like him? It was all just because of his appearance.
His gaze fell on the mirror at an angle. He didn't really look like that man; he probably looked more like his mother, whom he had never met.
Jinxi strongly agreed with the sales assistant and was about to ask how much these sets cost, but then she thought about it again and realized that she now earns two million a month!
He then waved his hand dismissively: "Make me a set of all the sportswear I just looked at, all in this size."
The sales assistant immediately beamed with joy; she had just looked at about seven sets! Each set cost several hundred yuan.
She immediately replied happily, "Okay, how about I give you another 20% off?"
"Okay," Jinxi said cheerfully. "Let's settle the bill!"
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and lowered her head to ask, "Do you like it?"
Before Zhou Yanqian could answer, Jin Xi said, "It's okay, we can buy another one later if you don't like it!"
Buy until your little one likes it!
Jinxi has never enjoyed shopping so much; she's even become a domineering CEO.
Dad, Mom, I'm really living a good life now! Hehehe!
Zhou Yanqian looked up at Jin Xi's beaming face, completely baffled as to what made her so happy.
Did you think buying a few outfits would make that man happy?
Absolutely not, that man only loves his work.
Jinxi was going to take Zanzan to buy other things, so she told the shopkeeper that she would come back to pick them up later. However, as soon as she stepped out of the shop, she felt a warm current seem to surge out.
Jinxi: ...
No way?
Jinxi counted the days and it was indeed these two days. How come the original owner's period was the same as hers?
Zhou Yanqian had been watching Jin Xi's movements closely. Seeing her somewhat indescribable expression, he slightly raised his small eyebrows.
Ha, you finally couldn't keep up the act anymore, huh?
In his previous life, he was too weak, but now it's different; he has the ability to fight back for himself.
Jinxi was a bit of a headache. She hadn't anticipated this unexpected situation. She first called the driver, but the driver hadn't even parked the car properly yet.
Helpless, she could only look down at Zan Zan, then turn her head to look at the store where she had just made a purchase.
I had no choice but to take Zan Zan back and tell the sales assistant.
The sales assistant expressed her understanding and even took out a sanitary napkin from her bag for her: "The nearest restroom is on the second floor. The restroom on the first floor is near Gate 2, which is quite far."
Jinxi thanked him, squatted down and said, "Don't wander around here. I'm just going to the toilet and I'll be right back."
Given the unforeseen circumstances—Zanzan is a boy, and it's impossible to take him to the women's restroom—we had to leave him in the store and ask the sales assistant to watch him for a while.
Seemingly afraid that Zan Zan wouldn't believe her, she even handed him her phone and bag: "Please take good care of these things, baby. I'll be quick. When I get back, we'll go buy ice cream."
After asking the sales assistant a few more questions, Jinxi hurriedly left.
Zhou Yanqian had a light bag from Jinxi hanging around his neck and a phone stuffed into his hand. At this moment, his small head was filled with big confusion.
Has this woman never experienced abandonment in her life?
