SHOPPING WITH THE XU FAMILY

"I already asked for your leave." Ling Ling cheered Lily up.

"Really, Mom?" Lily asked in surprise.

"Ha ha ha, yes, Lily, Mom did!" Ren told her sister laughingly. "Who wants to miss shopping with Mom, huh?"

"I know, right? Nina will surely enjoy it, too." Lily exclaimed.

Nina disdained every word from Lily and made a snort, which did not escape Ling Li.

"Let's go." Ling Li invited them to leave.

Two limos awaited them at the mansion's entrance.

"Ling, you and your daughter sit together. We can sit together as well." Mr. Xu suggested.

"But I was hoping we could sit together while the children could take the second car." Ling Li retorted.

"No, no, no. You sit with your children, and we take the second car." Mr. Xu insisted.

"As you wish, father-in-law. I'll listen to you," Ling Li could only agree.

"Nina, you're such a disgrace!" Mr. Xu said the first thing as they sat inside the car, disregarding the presence of Reginald.
