Chapter 9
Zheng Hao has never thought about what gift to give Xiang Wei. He went out on weekends to see what he found satisfactory before buying, provided that he could afford it.
Zheng Hao came to a shopping mall, there were many stores in it that were doing promotional activities, Zheng Hao saw many women gathered around a pile of clothes looking for clothes he was satisfied with, if it was normal, Zheng Hao would also go to have a look and choose for his mother Two pieces, but now I am choosing a gift for Xiang Wei, so Zheng Hao frowned slightly and left.
"Xiang Wei is the same, why did you say it... such an important day..."
Zheng Hao walked to a gold shop, and he saw a lot of gold and silver necklaces, bracelets and so on on the counter.
Zheng Hao glanced at the counter casually, and he saw a silver ring with just one glance.
"Hello, sir, if you want to buy something, you can choose whatever you want. Today is the fifth anniversary of the store's opening. All products in this store are [-]% off."
"This..." Zheng Hao's mind was full of rings and Xiang Wei, so he couldn't help feeling shy.
"You have a good eye. This men's tail ring is made of pure 925 silver. Although it is last year's style, the sales volume is very good, and it is also selling well this year. I will take it out for you and take a look."
"Well, thank you."
The lady at the counter took out the silver ring and handed it to Zheng Hao. Zheng Hao carefully put the ring in his hand. Such a small thing made Zheng Hao feel very heavy, because the ring itself is something that carries emotions.
Zheng Hao looked at this small tail ring. Under the white light, the ring looked very clean. Zheng Hao didn't know why he thought it was clean, maybe it was because it would be infused with precious feelings one day in the future.
The style of the ring is very simple, a small circle with a width of about 2.5 millimeters, and two thin vines are engraved on the outside, and the two vines are tightly entwined.
The more Zheng Hao watched it, the more he liked it, "How much is this...?"
The lady at the counter smiled and said, "This one is 350 yuan after the sale."
"350? So expensive!"
"Sir, today we are in the event period. This price is already very cheap, and it will return to the original price tomorrow. If you really like it, don't care about the hundreds of dollars." The counter lady has already seen Zheng Hao I'm a student, the price is not expensive for an office worker, but it is indeed a bit expensive for a student.
"I...but...this..." Zheng Hao silently put the ring back into the box, and when the ring left his hand, he seemed to hear the little ring crying to him not to let me go.
The counter lady smiled at Zheng Hao, "Sir, you can think about it again, or you can take a look at other styles in our store."
"Thank you, I'll take a look again." Zheng Hao reluctantly showed a smile and turned around to walk out. Every step he took felt extremely heavy.
The counter lady didn't put away the ring, she still kept the smile she had just been staring at Zheng Hao's back, and started counting down in her heart.
3...2...1!
Zheng Hao turned around when the counter lady counted to 1.
"I want that ring just now!"
"Okay, please tell me the size."
In this way, the heavy stone in Zheng Hao's heart finally fell. He estimated Xiang Wei's size in his heart and told the counter lady before asking: "Can you engrave the inside of the ring?"
"of course can."
Zheng Hao walked out of the gold shop holding a small box in his hand, "I wonder if Xiang Wei will like it?"
Zheng Hao planned to go home after buying the presents. Just as he was about to walk out of the mall, he saw a lot of people gathered at the door. He heard someone arguing from a distance. When he approached, he saw several women arguing. One of them he The more you look at it, the more familiar it is.
"Liu Li?"
"You guys are sick! I have to say it a few times before you understand, I have no money! I have no money!" Liu Li's face was pale, her hair was a little messy, and the backpack behind her was not closed. One feels as if one has just been robbed.
One of the women in overalls walked up to Liu Li and sneered, "Heh, why don't you come to our shop for beauty treatment if you don't have money? Girl, you just used our mask and half a bottle of lotion."
Liu Li stomped her feet angrily, "You guys lied first! Where's the guy just now! Come out! He obviously told me that you guys have a free trial for the event today! I didn't want to go, but he dragged me Into your shop!"
"Who told you! We don't have any activities today! Little girl, you are hallucinating!"
"I..." Liu Li bit her lip, the pain in her mouth made her calm down, "Oh! I know, you guys are in collusion! You guys are lying! I want to call the police!"
"Call the police? Yes, you said we lied? Do you have evidence?"
"me……"
"You don't have any evidence, but you really used our things. We have physical evidence, and our clerk can also testify. I see who to believe when the police come!"
"You...how can you do this! You talk nonsense just to make money!"
"We're not talking nonsense. I advise you to give the money quickly. If you don't give me the money, I'll go to your school. It's not me who will be ashamed at that time!"
"What! You... how could you..." Liu Li just remembered that they asked her to register with her student ID when she was doing the experience. It turned out that they were using it to threaten her.
Seeing that Liu Li was silent, the shop worker said, "Don't be silent! Get the money quickly! Do you really want us to find your school?"
"you……"
Zheng Hao took a look around and finally locked on a corner above the door, and at the same time there were discussions from the onlookers behind him.
"This little girl is also very unlucky to meet such a shameless person."
"That's right, isn't this just defrauding people of money! The little girl is so pitiful, why aren't her parents around?"
"You think she's pitiful? Why don't you help?"
"I don't want to get involved, you go up on her behalf."
"I'm not going, and I don't know her."
Hearing this, Zheng Hao looked at the people around him, everyone showed sympathy, then he sighed and walked towards Liu Li.
"Finally found you! Why are you here?"
Liu Li almost cried when she turned around, she didn't expect that there would be acquaintances here, no matter who can help her, but he didn't expect it to be Zheng Hao.
"Hello Zheng? You..."
Zheng Hao came over and held Liu Li's hand, "I've been looking for you for a long time, and finally let me find you, our father is still waiting at the north gate, hurry up!"
Zheng Hao pulled Liu Li to leave, but was blocked by those staff members.
"Wait! Where are you going! Want to leave before the money is given?"
Zheng Hao looked at those people and then at Liu Li, "What money do you... want?"
The staff member pointed at Liu Li and said angrily, "She just used our things and hasn't paid us yet!"
Liu Li didn't care why Zheng Hao appeared here and why she helped her, she grabbed Zheng Hao's arm and shouted: "They lied to me! I was dragged away by their people, and they said it would be free. But I need money after finishing it!"
"Little girl, I've said it several times just now, you better not talk nonsense without evidence!" The staff glared at Liu Li, who was so frightened that she hid behind Zheng Hao.
"Evidence? Do you want evidence?"
"Ok?"
The staff looked at Zheng Hao together with Liu Li.
"Who are you?"
"I'm his brother."
Liu Li stared at Zheng Hao's nonsense with wide eyes in shock.
"You are his brother? Cough cough, what evidence did you just say?"
Zheng Hao ignored the man and turned back to ask Liu Li, "Did you get dragged away here just now?"
"Yes! I was dragged away by their people here!"
Zheng Hao turned his head and pointed to the surveillance camera above the door and said to the man, "That's the evidence."
"What did you say?"
"We can find the security guard in the mall and ask him to check the surveillance to see if someone really took my sister away here at that time."
The staff had a smug smile on their faces just now, but now there is nothing, "So what if we find out? You can't prove that the person is ours! Who knows if your sister came into our store after being taken away by others of!"
"Yes! It's someone who can't prove it's yours. I don't need to bother you about this. We can call the police to investigate. I'm really afraid that that person is a human trafficker who wants to abduct and sell my sister."
The staff member softened his tone when he saw that the situation was wrong, "You don't need to call the police for such a trivial matter, as long as you give the money."
"Yes, of course we will give the money, but we have to figure things out before giving the money." Zheng Hao took out his mobile phone and pretended to dial, "My dad is a policeman, I'll let him come over now to find out about our situation here, Wait a minute, sister."
"Okay! Pull it down! Pull it down! We are unlucky today! Don't bother with her." The faces of the few staff members changed instantly, and the leader couldn't keep calm anymore.
"What?" Zheng Hao put down the phone, "Sister, you don't ask us for money anymore? Don't, we still have to pay what is due, we can't use other people's things for nothing."
Zheng Hao wanted to hold them back, but they kept backing away, not giving Zheng Hao a chance at all, "Let me tell you, we don't care because you are children, don't use other people's things casually when you go out in the future!"
Liu Li saw that those people were afraid that the police in Zheng Hao's story would run away, so she threw away Zheng Hao's hand and wanted to chase, "You stand for me..."
Zheng Hao held her back, "Stop chasing her!"
"But how can I let them be like this..."
"Pull them back and then why? Let them know that what I just said is a lie? I'm not your brother, nor do I have a father who is a policeman?"
"........."
The people around gradually dispersed, and because Liu Li got rid of the crisis of being extorted money, she finally relaxed at this moment, the grievance in her heart immediately surged up, and her eyes turned red.
"They won't find the school, will they?"
"No, they just said that to scare you."
"...Thank you...thank you."
Zheng Hao took out a tissue and handed it to her, "You're welcome."
"You are not allowed to tell others about this!" Liu Li took a tissue and blew her nose, even her nose was red from being pinched.
"Who can I tell?"
"Also... don't tell Xiang Wei!"
"I know, if you have nothing else to do, then I'll go first." Zheng Hao turned around and prepared to leave.
"Hey!"
"What's the matter?" Zheng Hao turned his head, looking at Liu Li's pitiful appearance, he suddenly felt that this girl was not so annoying anymore.
"I still have to tell you..."
"say what?"
"Leave Xiang Wei."
Zheng Hao really wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back, he didn't know as much as Liu Li today, "You've already said it."
"That time it was a warning... This time it was a warning."
