Chapter 228 Don't you know that Ji Xiuran went abroad?
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Something happened to the company and I need to go abroad for a business trip."
When Zhao Ning first heard this, she was a little surprised: "Ah, it's so sudden."
Ji Xiuran's tone was apologetic: "Daughter-in-law, I'm sorry, I can't go home to have dinner with you."
"It's okay. If you're busy, go ahead."
"I will try to come back as soon as possible and bring gifts to you and your son."
"Okay, just give me a picture when you arrive to report that you are safe. Be careful on the road."
"Well, I'm on the plane and my phone needs to be turned off!"
"Um!"
After saying that, Zhao Ningchu hung up the phone and sighed with some disappointment.
Gu Ran, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and said angrily: "How can a wife be as important as a business trip!"
Zhao Ningchu sighed and defended Ji Xiuran: "It's the end of the year and he's busy with work!"
"Going abroad at the end of the year, no problem!"
Zhao Ningchu looked at the layout of the room and sighed slightly: "Otherwise, I will record a video proposal for him!"
“It doesn’t have that atmosphere anymore.”
"What should we do? Wait until he comes back?"
"What if that's not the case? Could it be that you rushed out of the country to find him?"
Zhao Ningchu lowered his eyes and thought for a while: "It's not impossible!"
When Gu Ran heard this, she was a little surprised: "Ah, are you really going to find Ji Xiuran, are you so crazy?"
"Although I know he will come back in a few days, I just can't wait. I just want to urgently let him know my feelings. Ranran, you know that feeling."
'I understand, of course I understand, but Ji Xiuran didn't tell you where he was on a business trip, so you won't be able to find him.'
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she felt a little disappointed: "Then I'd better wait for him to come back. Ranran, I really bother you today. You have been working with me all afternoon!"
"What's the trouble? What's the relationship between us? You and I are so alienated?"
Zhao Ningchu smiled and said nothing.
In the evening, Gu Ran accompanied Zhao Ningchu to have dinner before leaving.
During this period of time, he was used to Ji Xiuran being around, but suddenly he was no longer around. Zhao Ningchu was still a little unaccustomed to it, and he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She got up and went to Xiaobai's room. She found Xiaobai with the desk lamp on and lying on his small desk. She didn't know what he was doing.
Zhao Ningchu looked at the time, it was already past one in the morning.
She opened the door and went in: "Baby, what are you doing up so late at night?"
Xiaobai turned to look at Zhao Ningchu.
'Mommy, I'm not sleepy!'
"Is it because daddy didn't tell you a story, so you couldn't sleep?"
Xiaobai hesitated for a while and nodded slightly.
"Go to sleep, can mommy stay with you tonight?"
"Mommy, will you tell me a story?"
"Well, go to sleep, otherwise you won't grow taller!"
Xiaobai heard the words and lay down on the bed obediently. Zhao Ningchu also lay beside him, picked up the storybook beside him, and began to tell Xiaobai the story that Ji Xiuran had not finished before.
Early the next morning.
When Zhao Ningchu woke up, the first thing she did was to look at her phone. When she saw the text message on the screen, a smile appeared on Zhao Ningchu's lips.
【Arrived, rest assured!】
The message was sent three hours ago. Zhao Ningchu was a little annoyed because he didn't see it the first time.
She hurried back, but the news seemed to be lost in the ocean, and she couldn't get any response.
Zhao Ningchu regretted not asking clearly which country Ji Xiuran went to when he called yesterday! Could it be because of the jet lag?
It is morning in Yanjing at this time, but it may be early morning in foreign countries.
Zhao Ningchu comforted herself like this.
But even so, she was still very worried. Finally, at noon, Zhao Ningchu couldn't help it and dialed Ji Xiuran's number directly.
But a mechanized female voice came from over there,
Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please call again later...
Zhao Ningchu hung up the phone in frustration. Xiaobai, who was sitting next to her, raised his eyes and looked at her: "Mommy, can't the call go through?"
"Well, Mommy will call me later."
In order to distract his attention, Zhao Ningchu planned to take Xiaobai shopping. Anyway, the New Year was coming, so he could buy some things in advance.
Zhao Ningchu took out her mobile phone to contact Gu Ran, and the two made an appointment at the mall.
When visiting the mall, Gu Ran always found that Zhao Ningchu was absent-minded and frequently took out his mobile phone to check.
"Achu..."
Gu Ran walked out of the fitting room and saw Gu Ran playing with her mobile phone with her head down, while Xiao Bai was sitting on the sofa playing with toys.
After calling her once, Zhao Ningchu got no response. Gu Ran stepped forward and pushed her: "I called you, why didn't you respond at all?"
Zhao Ningchu came to her senses and took back her phone with an apologetic expression.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention just now!"
"What are you doing, so obsessed!"
"I'll send a message to Ji Xiuran."
'According to the time, he should have arrived long ago. How about it? What did he say?'
Zhao Ningchu shook his head slightly: "No!"
"What? He didn't contact you even when he arrived."
"Maybe I'm too busy. It's the end of the year after all."
"But no matter how busy you are, there is always time to reply to text messages."
Zhao Ningchu lowered his head and fell silent.
Gu Ran continued: "Ah Chu, your family Ji must have cheated on you, right?"
Zhao Ningchu was stunned for half a second, and then retorted: "How is that possible!"
Gu Ran nodded: "Think about it, Ji Xiuran loves you so much, how could he cheat on you, hehe..."
"Stop talking nonsense in the future. It will have a bad impact on Xiaobai if he hears it!"
"What? Are you afraid that Xiaobai doesn't like Ji Xiuran?"
Zhao Ningchu hummed and said nothing.
She always hopes that in Xiaobai's memory, her father will be a good character.
"Okay, I won't tell you. How about this dress?"
After saying that, he walked around in front of Zhao Ningchu.
"It's okay, not too outstanding."
"Then let's try other things. Are you sure you don't want to try them on and just watch me try on clothes?"
Zhao Ningchu yawned: "If you don't like it, go and change it to another style!"
Gu Ran looked at Zhao Ningchu's tired look and couldn't help but worry: "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"Well, I can't sleep!"
'Then why don't we go home and stop shopping?'
"No, I'm here already. Go and try it out. I'll try it again later when I see something good at another place."
Gu Ran nodded, and when he came out again, this time Zhao Ningchu didn't play with his phone, but leaned on the chair to sleep.
Gu Ran didn't wake her up, so she greeted the clerk and asked her to sleep on her side for a while.
Zhao Ningchu squinted for an hour, opened her eyes, and when she didn't see Xiao Bai, her expression changed and she stood up suddenly.
"noob!"
She shouted, but there was no response. Zhao Ningchu immediately became anxious and hurried out of the lounge.
"Xiaobai, Ranran..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiaobai and Gu Ran walking in from the door. Xiaobai had a cone in his hand and had already eaten half of it.
Gu Ran said: "Are you awake?"
Zhao Ningchu looked at the time on her wrist and saw that she had slept for so long.
"Where did you go just now?"
"Xiao Bai was too bored in the mall, so I took him out to buy cones."
"It's such a cold day..."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Ran interrupted: "The air conditioning is on in the mall. It's not cold. Do you still want to sleep?"
When Zhao Ningchu heard this, she glared at Gu Ran awkwardly: "Why didn't you call me and sleep in someone else's shop? How bad!"
"There's nothing good about it. I spent hundreds of thousands here and their store is very happy."
"What did you buy?"
"It's just a few coats and skirts that I'll try on later. Let's go shopping!"
Zhao Ningchu nodded, and the two held Xiaobai's hand. When passing a men's clothing store, Zhao Ningchu stopped.
Seeing this, Gu Ran said, "You want to buy clothes for Mr. Ji, your family?"
Zhao Ningchu came to her senses and said with some embarrassment: 'I don't know what size he wears?'
Gu Ran looked shocked: "Ah, you don't know?"
"Um!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are really not a qualified wife."
Zhao Ningchu sighed helplessly: "Let's go, I won't buy it."
“You’re already here, how can you not buy it?”
"I don't know his code, let's go!"
"Buy other things, let's go and go shopping!"
After saying that, Gu Ran took Xiaobai and walked in first. Zhao Ningchu sighed helplessly and followed suit.
The two of them were standing in the tie section, and Gu Ran said excitedly: "A Chu, please buy a tie for Mr. Ji of your family."
Zhao Ningchu nodded and looked at the various styles of ties, having difficulty choosing.
"Ran Ran, which one do you think is suitable?"
"Why are you asking me?"
"Don't I know this?"
'If I knew, you would doubt me.'
"What are you talking about? Give me some advice."
Gu Ran looked around carefully and finally selected three items for Zhao Ningchu to choose based on her own preferences.
Finally, Zhao Ning selected a black and white striped tie, took it into her hand and looked at it carefully.
"This one, I think it's quite suitable."
Gu Ran nodded: "It suits Mr. Ji's cold temperament."
When Zhao Ning first heard this, she was a little speechless.
Xiaobai on the side asked curiously: "Auntie, what is cold?"
Gu Ran smiled and explained to Xiaobai seriously. When Xiaobai heard this, he immediately frowned and retorted: "My dad is not a cold and heartless person. He loves mommy and me very much!"
"
Hearing this, Gu Ran joked: "Hey, what kind of ecstasy did Ji Xiuran pour into you mother and son? Both the elder and the younger were fascinated by him."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, I'll pay the bill!"
After saying that, he handed the tie to the waiter on the side and smiled politely: "Hello, pay the bill!"
The waiter smiled politely and said, "Please pay here!"
After saying that, he led Zhao Ningchu towards the cashier.
The cashier took the tie that Zhao Ningchu was interested in, scanned it with the computer, and then said apologetically: "These customers, I'm sorry, I can't sell this tie to you!"
Zhao Ningchu frowned when he heard this: "Why?"
‘The customer made the reservation on the official website!’
'Since it has been ordered, why do you put it on the display rack? Putting it on top means it can be bought!'
Zhao Ningchu was a little angry, so his attitude when speaking was not very good.
The cashier also knew that it was his colleague's mistake and apologized: "Sorry, it was a mistake on our part. You are choosing other styles. Can we give you a 92% discount?"
Before Zhao Ningchu could speak, Gu Ran on the side said unhappily: "What? Do you think we can't afford it and need to buy something at a discount?"
"No, that's not what I meant. This tie has already been ordered. The customer said he would come and pick it up in the afternoon. Look, if you really like it, why don't you communicate with the customer and see if she can sell it exclusively to you?
?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a welcoming electronic sound came from the door.
Zhao Ningchu turned around and saw two women walking in.
To be precise, a woman walked in, and another woman with long hair was pushed in in a wheelchair.
Zhao Ningchu's eyes fell on the woman sitting in the wheelchair. Looking at the woman, she felt inexplicably familiar, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen her before.
I saw the other party go directly to the cashier, smiled and said: "Hello, I'm here to pick up the tie I selected on the official website this morning!"
"Are you Miss Xia Moxia?"
The other party nodded, "Yes, I am."
After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and showed his order information on the official website.
Gu Ran on the side saw this and said, "We have already bought this tie!"
Xia Mo turned to look at Gu Ran, then looked at the cashier: "Isn't it said that there is only one item? How can other customers buy it?"
Upon hearing this, the cashier quickly explained the oolong incident that had just occurred.
With a slight smile on her face, Xia Mo turned to look at Gu Ran. When she saw Xiaobai holding her hand, her expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly covered it up.
"Sorry, I bought this tie first!"
"I don't care, I want this now anyway, tell me how much it costs, I'll buy it!"
"I'm not selling it. I'm giving this tie to a very important person. I'm sorry!"
After saying that, I asked the cashier to wrap it up and take it away.
During the whole process, Zhao Ningchu didn't say a word. When they left, Gu Ran looked at Zhao Ningchu with an expression of hatred.
"Why didn't you say anything just now? Why don't you try to fight for it?"
Zhao Ningchu came back to her senses: "What are you fighting for? Everyone has already paid, forget it, we are looking at others!"
"Let's go, it's really unlucky not to buy it here!"
Gu Ran took Xiaobai and walked out angrily.
Zhao Ningchu smiled helplessly and followed immediately.
"Ranran, don't be angry!"
"I'm not angry, let's go, we are visiting other stores!"
Finally, Zhao Ningchu bought a blue and white striped pair in another store.
When leaving the mall, Zhao Ningchu called Ji Xiuran excitedly, but he never got through, and there was no reply to the text messages he sent before.
Zhao Ningchu couldn't help but feel even more worried.
'Ran Ran, do you think something will happen?'
"No way, don't worry!"
"But I haven't been able to contact him, and I'm worried about whether something unexpected will happen!"
At this moment, Zhao Ningchu thought about various possibilities in his mind, including air crashes, tsunamis, earthquakes, car accidents, mudslides and other natural and man-made disasters.
'If you are worried, I will go back and ask Su Yang!'
"Does he know?"
"Su Yang is his special assistant, so of course he knows all his schedule."
"Then let's go ask Su Yang now!"
Zhao Ningchu couldn't wait any longer and wanted to know urgently what Ji Xiuran's current situation was like.
'Okay, don't worry, Su Yang should still work overtime at the company at this point, we will go there now!'
More than ten minutes later, Gu Ran brought Zhao Ningchu and Xiaobai to Su Yang's office.
When Su Yang saw Gu Ran, he stood up excitedly: "Why are you here?"
'Of course I'm here to see if you've done anything bad behind my back.'
Su Yang was a little embarrassed: "How is that possible!"
After saying that, his eyes fell on Zhao Ningchu: "Madam, are you here to pick up Mr. Ji from get off work?"
When Zhao Ning first heard this, he was stunned for a moment!
