Chapter 662: Birthday Present

Ye Xiaomeng was now in the mid-term pregnancy, and her condition was quite stable. She had wanted to go out for a while now, feeling bored staying home.

“Girl, I’m convenient to go out. I need to buy some maternity clothes. My current ones are getting too tight,” Ye Xiaomeng said. She wished she had wings to fly out right now; staying at home was unbearable. The maid was doing everything, and He Ming took care of her attentively.

She felt like being raised as a pig, just sleeping after eating.

“Alright, you let He Ming know. We’ll meet at the usual place tomorrow afternoon.” The so-called usual place was the biggest shopping mall in Bin City.

“Okay, he will agree to it. I’m in the mid-term stage now, so I just need to be careful. He’s been busy preparing for the wedding.”

“Alright, see you tomorrow.” After Shu Pan hung up the phone, she was thinking about what to buy for Song Can’s birthday present.

She wasn’t sure about her preferences, but women generally liked shoes, bags, clothes, and related items.

She would ask Xiaomeng for her opinion tomorrow for reference. She really couldn’t make up her mind.

Shu Pan and Ye Xiaomeng entered the mall after they met up the following day.

“Xiaomeng, what do you think I should get for my mother-in-law for her birthday?” Shu Pan was a little worried. The variety of products in the mall was overwhelming, and she didn’t know what to look at.

“Her birthday? She probably won’t be interested in anything you give her. Why bother pleasing her?” Ye Xiaomeng really couldn’t understand.

Shu Pan’s mother-in-law wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She had seen her twice. She had a solemn expression, and her eyes seemed to grow on the top of her head. She always looked down on others.

“Etiquette still has to be observed, but gift-giving is the tricky part. She looks down on cheap items, and I can’t afford expensive ones. Moreover, she usually buys what she likes herself.” Shu Pan hoped her birthday would go smoothly this time, without hiccups.

“Get a scarf. People of her age look elegant wearing scarves. Let’s pick out a designer scarf from a luxury brand store later. It’ll probably cost several thousand.” Ye Xiaomeng suggested, thinking it was a good option and decent.

“Alright, let’s go take a look later. I’ll get one if there’s anything suitable.” The more Shu Pan thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea.

Now that they had a target, they were more efficient. They both thought of the same international big name. Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the brand store, Ye Xiaomeng suddenly pulled Shu Pan. “Girl, look, is that your mother-in-law ahead? Who’s the person next to her?”

Ye Xiaomeng’s words made Shu Pan stop in her tracks. She looked ahead and saw a woman holding her mother-in-law’s hand intimately. The two looked like mother and daughter.

“Yes, she’s my mother-in-law. The one beside her is my colleague,” Shu Pan explained calmly.

“What? Your colleague? Why is she with your mother-in-law? That doesn’t make any sense, right?” Ye Xiaomeng couldn’t understand.

What did her colleague mean by getting close to her mother-in-law?

“I’m not sure either. That girl’s name is Charlene. She’s the daughter of an important partner of the Gu Group, so Shaoting takes good care of her. She’s now under training in the Gu Group’s Secretary pool area.” Shu Pan had a general idea of the situation.

“This… No matter how you look at it, it feels weird. What good would it do for her to please Gu Shaoting’s mother?” Ye Xiaomeng felt that she had ulterior motives.

“They seem to have entered that shop too. I wonder if they want to buy scarves?” Shu Pan saw this and quickly pulled Ye Xiaomeng back.
