CHAPTER 283: CHAPTER 283 GIRLFRIEND IS A GODDESS (2)

"I will think of a solution, you don’t have to worry too much." Ma Huilian held Shen Jiajia’s hand and said earnestly.

"But..."

"Alright, no buts. Didn’t you want to buy shoes? Let’s go over there and take a look." Being in a public place, it was important to speak with restraint. Ma Huilian was a cautious person and did not want to discuss family matters with Shen Jiajia here, so she interrupted her.

Harboring resentment, Shen Jiajia’s face darkened like a cloud, planning in her heart that she must complain to Shen Zixian about Mi Jing when she got home!

"Ah!"

Just as Shen Jiajia was lost in thought, her shoulder was suddenly bumped, and with a crashing sound, the bag she was carrying fell to the ground.

"Hey, how do you walk? Don’t you have eyes?" Looking at the scattered items on the ground, Shen Jiajia said angrily with a stern face.

"..."

However, the woman did not stop and quickened her pace forward, her back facing Shen Jiajia.

"Damn it! Bumping into me and just walking away?" Shen Jiajia was furious, indignantly thinking, does she have no presence? Was she being ignored by everyone?

"Jiajia, just let it go..."

Before Ma Huilian could finish her words, Shen Jiajia, in high heels, had already briskly chased after the woman who bumped into her, looking like a fierce tigress, losing all her usual gentle, docile demeanor.

"Hey, how can you be like this? Bumping into someone and not even saying sorry?" Did she think she was easy to bully? Shen Jiajia grabbed the woman’s shoulder from behind and shouted through gritted teeth.

Kaelina’s eyes were fixed on Mi Jing in the crowd, urgently wanting to catch up, but was rudely stopped by Shen Jiajia who had caught up.

"Sorry, I was in a hurry to find someone, it wasn’t intentional." Reluctantly pulling her gaze back, Kaelina turned around and sincerely apologized.

"You..."

Shen Jiajia had no intention of letting it go but, upon seeing Kaelina’s face clearly, the words she was about to speak got stuck in her throat.

Why is it her?

Shen Jiajia was secretly shocked, her once furious emotions instantly calmed, replaced by nervousness and apprehension!

"Jiajia, why are you always so impulsive!" Ma Huilian had seen Kaelina once at a previous anniversary celebration, so both mother and daughter were aware of her identity as Jelson’s wife.

"Mom, I was just in a bad mood, I wouldn’t have been so impulsive otherwise." Shen Jiajia glanced at Kaelina, then lowered her eyes and said apologetically, "I’m sorry, I was too reckless just now, I hope I didn’t scare you."

"It’s okay. It was my mistake to bump into you, it’s normal for you to be angry." Kaelina’s lips curled into an elegant smile.

"Sigh, this child has been spoiled by me since young, she’s always so impatient. Thank you, Madam Kaelina, for being so understanding." Ma Huilian smiled and said politely.

Having attended the Shen’s anniversary celebration together, and with Ma Huilian being the mayor’s wife, Kaelina naturally had some impression of the mother and daughter, smiling and replying, "Haha, Mrs. Shen, you are truly fortunate to have such a beautiful daughter."

Seeing the envy in Kaelina’s eyes, Ma Huilian felt quite proud and said, "Yes, she’s quite good in every aspect, just a bit impatient."

Upon hearing this, Kaelina did not continue the small talk, smiled gently, then her gaze shifted to the fork in the corridor, only to find the figure she was chasing had disappeared around the corner.

"Mrs. Kaelina, you mentioned you were looking for someone, can we help you?" Noticing Kaelina’s lingering gaze among the crowd with a touch of melancholy in her eyes, Shen Jiajia politely asked to salvage her image.

"Oh, I just saw someone I thought I knew and wanted to catch up, but now they’re gone, it’s okay. Thank you for your kindness." Kaelina said gently and calmly, neither stiffly rejecting nor revealing the whole truth.

"Are you shopping alone? How about we guide you? We know this place very well." Shen Jiajia didn’t want to miss the chance to please Kaelina and actively offered her enthusiastic hospitality.

"No, I just came here to pick up something, my husband is waiting downstairs, so thanks for the offer, but maybe next time." Kaelina smiled, then gracefully turned and soon blended into the crowd, disappearing around the corridor corner.

"How unlucky, why did it have to be her?" Shen Jiajia received the shopping bag from Ma Huilian, feeling gloomy and blaming herself.

"You always get angry over trivial things. You really need to change this impulsive and short-tempered nature." Ma Huilian admonished her seriously, seeing the necessity of correcting Shen Jiajia’s impulsive character rather than comforting her.

"Alright, mom, I know I was wrong, and besides, Kaelina didn’t really mind."

"You shouldn’t have such a fluky mind. If Kaelina were truly angry and told others bad things about you, which then reached your dad’s ears, how do you think your dad would handle it? How would you want your dad to see you?" Ma Huilian continued the reprimand as they moved to a quieter corner.

"Dad loves me the most, he wouldn’t bear to scold me. So, mom, you should say less, I promise to be more careful in the future." Shen Jiajia smiled and acted coquettishly.

"Yes, your dad loves you, but if you disappoint him, maybe he wouldn’t scold you the first or second time, but the third time? Will he still protect you?" Having known Shen Zixian for over thirty years and lived together for over twenty years, apart from the old lady, Ma Huilian knew him best.

"..."

Listening to Ma Huilian’s consecutive teaching, Shen Jiajia knew she was angry, so she wisely stayed silent, putting on a docile and receptive appearance.

"Let’s go." Seeing Shen Jiajia had taken her words to heart, Ma Huilian’s stern expression softened considerably. The mother and daughter continued shopping as before, arm in arm.

After returning from the Imperial City, Ruan Pianran had been staying at Mi Jing’s café. They had lunch from a favorite takeaway place, and later, they enjoyed flower tea and snacks, chatting idly away a pleasant afternoon.

As evening approached, the café gradually filled with people, and with nothing much to do, Ruan Pianran voluntarily helped serve cups.
