He could not wait to show off in front of the older sisters. How could he possibly let them wrap it up?
No way, he will take a photo and post it to his social media once he got to the car.
However, Ningning was a little dumbfounded when he paid the bill.
“What? Are we still short 5,000 yuan?” Ningning’s eyes were wide open with surprise at the shortage of cash.
The cashier could not help but laugh.
“That’s right. The price of the ear studs is 49,000 yuan after the discount. The bracelet is not discounted, at its original price of 56,000 yuan. That adds up to 105,000 yuan!”
The calculations were not wrong.
It was only 5,000 yuan. It was not much for the Mo family, but Ningning searched through his little schoolbag and could not manage to find the money. Immediately, he looked dejected.
“Sister, can you give me a moment?” he asked.
“Sure,” replied the cashier.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Mo kept a low profile and did not clear the area ahead of time, the specialty counter was equivalent to a closed-shop service.
They would not receive a second wave of customers before the couple left.
The little boy walked up to Mr. Mo directly. His small face was conflicted. He grabbed Mr. Mo’s legs tightly with both hands.
“Grandpa! Grandpa!” he called.
Mo Tianhan’s heart positively melted upon hearing his grandson calling out to him.
“Tell me,” he said with a smile.
It was still very difficult for Ningning to speak out. After all, he had promised to buy gifts for his mom and grandma, but in the end, he had not only exceeded his budget and was even short of money!
“Grandpa, can you lend Ningning 5,000 yuan?” asked the boy.
Ningning knew very well that he could not borrow money from Grandma, since the gift he was intending to buy was meant for her.
Mo Tianhan had already guessed the situation when he saw Ningning walking toward him, so he wasn’t surprised at all.
5,000 yuan was a small sum. Even if it were 50 million yuan, as long as his grandson asked, Mo Tianhan would give it to him without batting an eyelid.
However, who would have thought that Ningning would speak up first to ask for a loan!
Since his grandson already had an idea in his mind, Mo Tianhan refrained from further action.
“Sure,” he agreed.
As he spoke, he took his wallet out from his back pocket and pulled out a credit card from it.
“Take it and swipe it,” he told Ningning. “There’s no password.”
“Thank you, Grandpa! Grandpa is the best. Muah~” Ninging was overjoyed.
With the credit card in his hand, he returned to the cashier counter eagerly.
“Sister, swipe the card,” he told the cashier.
This shopping experience was probably the first time in a decade that Mrs. Mo did not spend any money.
It seemed to feel pretty good.
After paying the bill, the wrapped earrings were handed to Ningning.
“Little man, hold on to it well.”
“Okay.”
There was no need to worry about losing the present, as the wrapped earrings were placed safely inside Ningning’s schoolbag in the very next instance.
There were more and more people in the mall, perhaps even up to three times more than before.
Except for the area surrounded by bodyguards, the outside was already completely blocked by the crowd.
Mr. and Mrs. Mo looked at each other.
“Let’s go, we should go back.”
Fortunately, because Ningning had tagged along, they had a few more bodyguards. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to leave.
Under the protection of the bodyguards, Mr. and Mrs. Mo walked together with Ningning securely held in Leng Tie’s arms.
Fortunately, the surrounding crowd of onlookers was not so crazy. They were rather reserved and did not dare to disturb them like they usually did when they chased after celebrities.
Someone shouted excitedly, “Little Ningning, I’m your fan!”
This triggered a flood of responses from the crowd. Many people followed and shouted, “Me too, me too!”
“Little Ningning, over here, over here! Take a look at me!”
