The Runaway Wife of the Godfather of the Republic of China

Chapter 19 Tian Yanqiu

Saturday.

The sky is clear, midsummer is approaching, the air is filled with the fragrance of magnolia flowers, and the overwhelming sound of cicadas resounds through the clouds.Today is the day when Ye Qingran goes to the girls' school to get her graduation certificate and university admission certificate.

She went out after breakfast.In order to thank Zhong Shushu, she specially brought enough money to treat guests at noon—go to the "England Western Restaurant" to eat Western food.

In the past few days, staying at home, Ye Qingran devoted herself to reviewing her homework and lived a very comfortable life.

She is in a good mood today. She is wearing a light green blouse with a circle of small pearls on the neckline, a pearl-colored knee-length skirt underneath, and a light green bow tie on her two long braids.

After receiving the graduation certificate and admission ticket, teacher Song, the teacher in charge of the class, said some words of encouragement to Qingran and the questions that should be paid attention to in the university exam, which she silently remembered.

The students came to the school one after another, and the quiet campus was boiling again.

Ye Qingran put the certificate in her schoolbag, strolled along the boulevard, waiting for the arrival of two good friends.

"Qing Ran." Zhong Shushu wore a white gauze skirt dress, a white lace fisherman's hat, and a pair of three-inch high white high heels on her feet.

"Just picking clothes at home, I'm late."

Qingran smiled, "Look at your current appearance, you really look like someone who studied abroad in the West."

Zhong Shushu picked up the hem of the skirt with both hands, and twirled it around, "I just bought it, it's not bad, hey, it would be nice if I were a little thinner, unlike you and Jingxue, who look good in everything."

"Why hasn't Jingxue come yet?" Qing Ran glanced at the school gate.

"Oh, by the way, I met Jingxue yesterday afternoon. She said that today she will go to Santa Maria Primary School for pre-teaching training. I will get her graduation certificate for her."

Qingran was a little disappointed, "I'm still going to treat you to Western food today, it seems that only next time."

"No. Qingran, I am the one who made great contributions to you. I happened to be wearing a foreign dress today. Even if I don't look at my face, I still have to look at it for the sake of this dress. Go? Maybe my Prince Charming She is waiting for me in a black tuxedo, sipping a cappuccino!" Shushu grabbed her hand and acted coquettishly, "This time I only order a medium-rare steak and a dessert, it will definitely not be like I wasted so much last time—"

"Okay, okay, please. It's too early to go to the 'England Western Restaurant' at this point. After getting the certificate, let's go to the bookstore to read."

"When I go to the bookstore, my head gets dizzy. Let's go to Xiafei Road to browse Wan'an Department Store. I heard that the air conditioner has just been installed in it. There is also a cold drink department on the first floor. The second floor is full of women's clothing, even British dresses. !" Shushu is like a treasure.

Ye Qingran suddenly remembered that next Sunday is her mother's birthday.Ever since her father moved out, although her mother hadn't said anything, she could feel the pain in her heart.This time for my mother's birthday, as a daughter, she must give her a gift to make her happy.

"Okay, let's go to the department store, I'm thinking of buying a birthday present for my mother." Ye Qingran took Shushu's hand.

After Zhong Shushu got the certificate, the two took the tram to Wan'an Department Store on Xiafei Road.

"Wan'an Department Store" is the largest department store that has emerged in Shanghai in the past two years.It is located in the French Concession, on the most prosperous Xiafei Road in Shanghai.The first floor is for daily necessities, the second to fourth floors are mainly high-end clothing and jewelry, ranging from needles and threads for ordinary people to fashionable furniture and diamond jewelry from the West.

There are long queues at more than a dozen cash registers every day, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as making money every day.According to rumors, the manipulator behind it has a lot to do with the current "Yanlongtang", which is both black and white.

Being able to make a lot of money every day on Xiafei Road, where every inch of land is expensive, and stand tall, it shows that "Wan'an Department Store" is shuihenshen.

Ye Qingran and Zhong Shushu walked into the first floor arm in arm, the two girls were dazzled by the dazzling array of products.

"There is an elevator! Let's go to the second floor to look at women's products." Shushu dragged Qingran through the crowd.

Compared with the crowds on the first floor, the second floor is like a paradise. Accompanied by melodious piano music, some rich ladies and ladies are talking in low voice with the gentle and patient female shop assistants.

Zhong Shushu's eyes were only on the new women's clothing.

Ye Qingran wanted to buy a brooch for her mother, but only looked at women's accessories, and the two separated.

Qingran was a little moved when she saw a heart-shaped brooch studded with pearls.

A shop assistant handed her the brooch with a smile, "Miss, this is a new product that just arrived. The pearls on it are stocked in the deep sea. You see, the pearls are round and shiny, which can be called top-grade. Of course, the price is correspondingly higher .Every piece of jewelry in our store is unique, and the emphasis is on being unique.”

Qing Ran liked it more and more, and asked, "How much?"

"Nine silver dollars."

Qingran thought to herself that she only brought three silver dollars and some scattered silver corners with her as a treat.The ten silver dollars were given to Jingxue, and she was also a little short on cash.This month's pocket money has long been used up, and the money for today's treat is still for my mother, and my mother seems to be struggling because my father has not paid living expenses this month.

I still don’t want to buy it, but this brooch is so eye-catching, it must be unique when paired with the cheongsam my mother just made.

"I want it, wrap it up." A soft and soft female voice came.

Then, a jade hand covered with western nail polish took the brooch from Qing Ran's hand.

Qing Ran glanced at the woman standing in front of her. This woman was young and of medium height. She had short, shoulder-length hair turned upside down that was popular nowadays. She had delicate willow-leaf eyebrows painted on her oval face. Lips, protruding figure, wrapped in a light yellow silk cheongsam that looks even more charming.

Ye Qingran smiled wryly, he didn't have so much money, so people can buy it if they want.Turning around, she was about to find Shushu, when she saw Ye Jiezhi walking towards her.

I haven't seen my dad for almost a month.Since he quarreled with his mother last time, he hasn't been back to his home in Yongmin Lane.

"Momo." Ye Jiezhi called out.

Before Qing Ran could say "Dad", the woman who just took the pearl brooch from her hand came to Ye Jiezhi's side, hugged his arm affectionately, and said tenderly, "Jiezhi, you Look at how beautiful the brooch is, it’s only nine yuan, I’m going to order it.”

She is Tian Yanqiu.

She is the woman who took father away from mother, and she is the chief culprit who destroyed the happiness of her own family.

Nine dollars!To her, maybe it's really nothing, but to herself?Now I want to give my mother a birthday present but I can't afford it. Isn't it all thanks to this woman?

Ye Qingran's eyes were cold, and he was silent.
