Pan Xiaohua had already seen Lin Yuyao, smiled at her, and waited until the guests left before walking towards Lin Yuyao.

"Yuyao, come in and sit for a while."

Lin Yuyao nodded, entered the store, and took a quick look around.

"Your shop is much bigger than your previous stall. It must be quite profitable, right?"

Pan Xiaohua smiled and said, "It's okay, close to 200 square meters. I bought it on the first day it was sold."

Lin Yuyao: "Good taste."

"Thank you very much. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have used the money to buy a house."

These days, buying a storefront is much more cost-effective than buying a house.

Not to mention Pan Xiaohua, Lin Yuyao has also accumulated a lot of storefronts, and the rent is quite reliable.

"By the way, have you found housing now?"

"It's solved." She pointed upwards and said, "It's upstairs. This house is 5.8 meters high, and I left two meters of space above it. It's a bit shorter than a normal house, but it's much better than the shabby house we rented before. Half of it is used by us to live in, and the other half is used as storage."

"That's good."

"Yeah, there's nothing I can do now. I borrowed a lot of money to buy this store, and I've already paid off the loan. Plus, with all this merchandise, I need money to keep the business going. I've barely paid off my debts in the past two years. Once I save some more, I'll buy a proper house."

"That's great too. By the way, your niece is in junior high school now, right?"

"Yes, her grades are okay. Maybe she can get into high school. It doesn't matter if her scores are a little short. I'll give her more money and let her go. It would be even better if she can go to college. It's a good thing I got her out back then. Compared to her classmates now, she's no different except she's older."

Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "That's really good."

She looked around and said, "Why don't I see your little sister?"

Pan Xiaohua said, "She's dating someone. Since it's not the weekend and the store isn't busy, I let her go out with her."

"Your younger sister has a boyfriend, so are you...going to get married soon too?"

Pan Xiaohua nodded shyly and whispered, "Yes, I've already met his parents, and we plan to get married once the house deal is settled. He's already bought the house and is renovating it. But I also want to buy a place to live in. After I get married, my sister and niece need a proper place to live."

Pan Xiaohua's partner is Yang Feng, Fu Leyi's driver and bodyguard.

He is also from the north, and he and Pan Xiaohua have similar living habits and food tastes.

Pan Xiaohua is tall and the man is also tall and strong, so they are quite a match.

After chatting for so long, Pan Xiaohua knew that Lin Yuyao had something to say.

She came to see me, it couldn't be just to chat with me.

"By the way, do you watch TV?"

Pan Xiaohua said, "I'll take a look when I have nothing to do."

Her shop is doing good business, so she doesn't have much free time.

"Yuyao, if you have something to say, just say it. We are so familiar with each other, we can talk about anything."

Lin Yuyao then said, "I saw someone on TV who looked... a lot like your second brother."

She pulled out a photo and said, "Look, this is him. His name is Pan Yanbai. I heard he's from mainland China."

Pan Xiaohua took the photo and looked at the person in it. He really looked like his second brother.

But he is much better looking than my second brother and looks very young.

"He does look quite like my second brother, but he's been tortured over the years and is no longer the same as he used to be. And this guy... he doesn't look very old, and his name is different too. Is this just a coincidence?"

Pan Xiaohua doesn't understand this business because she has no experience in it, but how could Lin Yuyao, who works in this business, not understand it?

Lin Yuyao said: "Generally speaking, after debuting, if people feel their original name isn't good enough, they'll come up with a new stage name."

"You mean this name is a stage name?"

Lin Yuyao nodded, "Most likely."

"So... can this look also get younger as time goes by?"

Lin Yuyao said: "This may be the appearance after dressing up. Many people who look glamorous on TV may be ordinary people in private."

Let’s not talk about anything else, just take a few decades later.

Some big stars on the screen are so beautiful that they are on a different level from ordinary people, but once you look at their photos before their debut, you will feel back to reality.

Although it is indeed better looking than ordinary people, the barriers are definitely not that thick.

Pan Xiaohua held the photo thoughtfully.

Lin Yuyao knew from the look on her face that she didn't know either.

Lin Yuyao said, "I thought you knew, but it seems you don't know about your second brother either."

Pan Xiaohua said, "He hasn't contacted me for two years, but he still sends the money as usual, and Yang Feng gives it to me as usual."

However, Pan Xiaohua never touched that money. Even when she didn't have enough money to buy a storefront and had to take out a loan, she never touched a penny of what Pan Hong sent back.

"Xiaohua, I just stopped by to see you and mentioned this in passing. Don't take it to heart. If there's nothing else, I'll leave."

"Okay." Pan Xiaohua smiled, "Let's just chat for a while."

Lin Yuyao stood up and walked out. Suddenly she remembered something and asked, "By the way, your mother will be released from prison soon, right?"

Pan Xiaohua's smile froze, and she nodded slightly. "Yes, she's had her sentence commuted several times, so she'll be released early. It's mainly because she's old, and it's past the age where she can be given a job."

Lin Yuyao had guessed long ago that generally speaking, for older people, as long as they had not committed a very serious crime, they would try their best to reduce their sentences.

If they are kicked out early, no one will want to take care of them in their old age.

Pan Xiaohua was also very worried, wondering how she would reform after serving a few years in prison.

If she changes for the better, they will still be willing to treat her well and provide for her in her old age.

But if she remains the same, no one will want to have anything to do with her.

In fact, she secretly returned to her hometown last year and visited her in prison.

However, time was limited and someone was watching him, so he left without saying a few words.

As for her eldest brother's family, she never wanted to see them again in her life.

…

Fu Huaiyi had said before that Fu Yatong would come back.

She hadn't decided on a specific time, but today she suddenly showed up at the door of their company.

Lin Yuyao was very surprised when she heard the secretary say that a young lady named Fu Yatong wanted to see her.

"Please come into the reception room."

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Lin Yuyao quickly packed up the things in her hands and went to the reception room.

At this time, Fu Yatong had just sat down.

"sister in law."

Lin Yuyao looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Yatong, you have really grown up."

Whether it's the way they dress or the way they behave, everything is different.

Fu Yatong smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is becoming more and more capable."

"Come on, sit down and talk."

"Why."

"You're dressed like this... and you have luggage with you. Did you come straight to me after getting off the plane?"

"Yeah, I know you guys moved. I didn't know exactly where, so I came straight here."
