Chapter 284 A Shock
Gu Jiu heard that this was a new home computer launched here, and without any hesitation: "Buy it!"
"Bang bang bang!"
As soon as Lin Shu asked the salesperson to open the ticket and pay the money, he heard several gunshots in the mall.
At first she didn't realize it was gunshots and thought it was the blast of firecrackers.
After hearing the woman's scream, the salesman reacted by hiding behind the counter. He quickly picked up the child and found a place to hide behind the counter under Gu Jiu's protection.
What followed was the sound of smashing glass and the sound of glass breaking.
Lin Shu squatted behind the counter and looked back at Gu Jiu's Erbao. He didn't know where Gu Jiu took out a bottle of milk and stuffed it into Erbao's mouth. The little guy was happily drinking milk at this time.
"When did you make milk?"
Gu Jiu let Erbao hold the bottle, took out another bottle from the bag, quickly opened the thermos cup, poured some warm water, mixed the warm water with the milk powder in the bottle, and stuffed it into Dabao's mouth, " We went shopping and prepared them in the hotel because they were afraid they would be hungry.”
Dabao was an adult soul, so Lin Shu was not afraid that he would cry out of fear, but she did not stop Gu Jiu from holding the bottle, and cautiously stretched out her head to look out.
Good guys, a group of tall, thick, dark-skinned people were carrying bags in the mall to pick up merchandise. Wherever they passed, they put whatever merchandise they had into their bags, taking away whatever they could, and not picking up anything they accidentally dropped on the ground.
Seeing their leaders holding up guns, the others held their heads and did not dare to stop them, and no one tried to stop them either. It seemed that this kind of thing had become commonplace here.
The people in the mall went from being panicked to being silent now, and Lin Shu also shrank his head in silence.
There was another sound of glass breaking, which counter was hit again.
"Bang"
Another shot, followed by a scream and the sound of metal falling to the ground. The clearest sound came from under her feet.
Lin Shu lowered her head and saw that Dabao's reaction was faster than hers. He bent down to pick up a gold bracelet from the ground and put it into Lin Shu's hand.
"This is."
"The robbers robbed the jewelry counter." Gu Jiu shrank into the counter and asked Lin Shu to hide as much as possible while holding Dabao.
Rather than acting bravely in a foreign country, Gu Jiu cared more about the personal safety of his family.
The two of them spoke in a very low voice. Gu Jiu thought of something and immediately looked up at the products on the counter where he was hiding. When he saw that they were some accessories for electronic products, he felt relieved and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
This trip to New York was so thrilling on the first day, it really tested the endurance of his heart.
Lin Shu put the gold bracelet on the counter next to him. It was better not to take the ill-gotten gains. After putting it down, he did not forget to look up at the ceiling above his head, fearing that there were cameras installed here.
Dabao seemed to know what he was thinking and leaned close to her ear, "We won't install cameras everywhere at this time."
Lin Shu also leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people: "Son, we are here to buy the bottom of the stock market. We don't need this little money, and we should try to cause as little trouble as possible."
This wave of robberies happened suddenly and ended quickly.
It was over in less than five minutes.
After the robbers left, the tellers in the mall began to come out to maintain order. Gu Jiu's family of four walked out from behind the counter, walked to the computer counter, told the salesman to deliver the goods on time, and left the mall with his wife and children.
"Do you still want to buy a watch?" Lin Shu said and looked at the clock counter.
The situation there shocked her, and she suddenly realized that it would be strange not to snatch something as valuable as a watch.
Because of what happened in the afternoon, Gu Jiu and Lin Shu got to know each other deeply. Their personal safety in a foreign country was threatened, so they did not think of going out in the evening.
Dinner will be Western food at the hotel where you stay.
The restaurant plays soothing music and has an elegant environment that makes it easy for people to relax physically and mentally.
The two ordered beef tenderloin, and the two children watched them eating, so they grabbed a small piece of toast for each of their little hands.
"This is passion fruit jelly, do you want to give them some?" Gu Jiu asked as he picked up a dessert after the meal.
Lin Shu first scooped up some jelly and tasted it, "Add cheese puree and dried fruits. Don't let them eat the dried fruits, be careful of choking." The two little guys tasted some jelly and got out of control. They clapped their hands in excitement. If you don't give it, They ate and screamed anxiously.
Lin Shu noticed that some of the diners were already looking towards them, and couldn't help but chuckle and joked: "This Western restaurant is suitable for dates. Are we in the wrong place with a child?"
Gu Jiu raised his head and glanced at the people at other tables around him, "Don't they white people have children? Since we are open for business, we only let people come in to eat. There is nothing wrong with us paying for our meals. You don't care about them."
Gu Jiu took care of the children. After Lin Shu finished eating, he took over the care of the children before it was his turn to eat. Fortunately, the children were fed by him and they could stay quietly with a toy.
Gu Jiu adjusted his tie, picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
Lin Shuxiao asked: "Is the tie uncomfortable to wear?"
Gu Jiu took a bite of beef, looked at her with a stringy look, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, "After all, I rarely wear this tie in China, but now I'm not used to it here. I always feel like this tie is pricking my neck." Neck.”
Lin Shu admired the man's handsome face and sighed: "But Westerners do this. Look at the two women over there who are eyeing you from time to time. Obviously they are attracted to you."
Gu Jiu followed her gaze and saw the two women opposite him excitedly reaching out to say hello.
Gu Jiu smiled back and turned back to continue eating.

Another person came in at the door of the restaurant. Lin Shu took a casual look and found that he was an acquaintance again, "Gu Jiu, have you and that Deng Jiaming had a bad relationship for several generations? We often met in the provincial capital. We are all here across the ocean. Yes, we met at the hotel and chose the same restaurant for dinner. ”
Gu Jiu looked back at the door and met Deng Jiaming's eyes.
"Hi, Gu Jiu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet your family of four here."
Gu Jiu put down his knife and fork, leaned on his chair and frowned slightly: "I suspect that you are following me."
The smile on Deng Jiaming's face stagnated: "I said Gu Jiu, can you please stop being narcissistic? What do you have that is worthy of me crossing the ocean to meet you by chance?"
A trace of sarcasm appeared on Gu Jiu's lips: "Then how do you explain staying in a hotel with me and eating in the same restaurant?"
"I said it was a coincidence, but you didn't believe it." Deng Jiaming pulled out a chair and sat at their table.
As if he was afraid that Gu Jiu would drive him away, he turned around and rubbed Dabao's little head, and smiled at Lin Shu: "The two children are very cute."
Lin Shu reached out to avoid hitting the smiling man. No matter what grudges Gu Jiu had with him, Lin Shu smiled back: "Why do you go out to eat alone at night?"
"My uncle and the others went home, and I stayed in the hotel alone at night."
"Are the two middle-aged men today your uncles?"
"Yes, they have been coming here for many years and have settled here long ago."
Lin Shu was curious as to why he stayed in a hotel since he had relatives here. "Why didn't you stay at their house? Staying in a hotel is not as comfortable as at home."
"You feel comfortable staying in a hotel." Deng Jiaming seemed not to want to talk about this topic anymore and turned around to ask the waiter to order.
He whispered to the waiter for a few words, and when the waiter left, he asked Lin Shu: "What are you here to do this time? Which project here are you interested in?"
During the day, his cousin checked and found out that they came to New York with an exchange group, but Gu Jiu was not a staff member, and it was impossible for the country to let him come here at public expense.
Since it can't be at public expense, it means coming here at your own expense to do something important, otherwise who would be too idle to spend a lot of money to have fun.
Lin Shu: "We just came here for a trip."
Deng Jiaming didn’t believe it.
After Gu Jiu finished his meal, he wiped his mouth with a napkin, wiped his hands, and said calmly: "Before you ask us, should you tell us why you are here?"
Deng Jiaming: ".I also came here to visit relatives."
"嘁~"
Gu Jiu sneered.
I can't even be honest with each other, yet I have the nerve to inquire about their affairs.
