"Ah, this..."

Wu Meixia was taken aback by Shao Jun's sudden words and didn't know what to do.

She stared wide-eyed at Xia Enruo.

"Stop with all that 'this' and 'that'. It just shows that our brother is grateful and hasn't forgotten his older sister after making money."

Don't say anything discouraging like "saving money" or "saving money." You'll have plenty of time to save money in the future. Money is meant to be spent.

"We should both be happy that Shaojun has shown this kindness today."

Xia Enruo quickly cut off Wu Meixia's next words. Based on her experience, she knew that as an elder, she should say some wise words at this time.

What do you mean by "Oh, no need, you don't earn money easily, you should save some"?

"I have everything, why would I spend this spare money? I'm saving it to get married."

"I'm already very happy that you have the intention."

blah blah blah.........

Since we want to make Wu Meixia happy and dispel her concerns, we must make her happy to the very end today.

Money is something you can earn back if you lose it. It's no wonder that saving money and hoarding it will make you rich!

Besides, life is long, there's plenty of time to save money, why worry about this little bit today?

"Alright then, it seems we didn't spoil Enruo for nothing."

The three of them rode in Shaojun's truck towards the central street.

The brand-new interior was the envy of many, and passersby would occasionally turn their heads to look at the three people inside the car, their eyes filled with envy.

Wu Meixia was overjoyed; sitting in Wu Shaojun's car, her feelings were completely different.

After all, this is the first time my family has ever bought such a large item.

I never expected this yesterday.

Wu Shaojun saw her smug expression.

He was happy too.

Upon arriving at the department store, the three went to the women's clothing counter.

Red and yellow dresses are especially popular this spring.

Everyone on the street wears them, but even though the skirts are the same, the styles and materials of high-priced ones look more upscale.

Although Xia Enruo no longer has any special requirements for these things, she now earns enough money to buy a department store.

She just felt that the clothes Shaojun bought for her for the first time were very special, and that sentiment was something that money couldn't buy.

Although Wu Meixia dresses well in her daily life, she can only look on with envy when the clothes are too expensive.

With that meager salary to support a family, one naturally has to be careful with money.

Wu Shaojun led the two to the most expensive counter.

A dress here costs 200 yuan. They say it's specially imported from Suzhou, made of 100% mulberry silk, and the fabric feels as smooth as satin.

Wu Meixia shook her head immediately upon hearing the price of 200 yuan.

"Shaojun is too expensive. Such an expensive dress is not worth it. I'll just pick a moderately priced one. As long as the clothes fit well, that's fine."

Wu Shaojun stopped abruptly.

"Big sister, if you're going to buy something, buy the best. Your brother can afford it."

"Comrade, please find a code for each of my two older sisters."

The clothes at this counter are the most expensive, so naturally there are fewer customers.

Upon hearing that both of them wanted to buy it, the salespeople at the surrounding counters all cast envious glances their way.

They would never spend 200 yuan in their entire lives; such expensive clothes are probably only affordable for landlords and tycoons.

Wu Shaojun forced the two of them to sit on the small stools for trying on clothes, and then walked out from behind the counter to wait outside.

The saleswoman pulled back the curtain, and a moment later the two women came out wearing dresses.

Clothes make the man, and a saddle makes the horse; good things really do make a difference.

The fabric felt silky smooth against the skin, cool and soft to the touch.

The design is truly unique, unlike any other yellow dress worn on the street.

After all, a dress that costs 200 yuan is incredibly rare these days, with very few people able to afford it.

"Looks great, you all look so good in them."

She's like a fairy descended from heaven.

The two turned around and looked at themselves in the mirror; indeed, they were quite different.

Wu Meixia was delighted; it was the first time she had ever worn such nice clothes.

The sales clerk was quite perceptive; she knew these three were wealthy people.

She began by recommending, "We also have 'Sachiko shirts' here, made of mulberry silk, all imported from Suzhou. They'd definitely look great paired together."

"How much is this Sachiko shirt?"

"150 yuan a piece, feel the absolute quality!"

Wu Shaojun touched it and replied:

"This guy is a straightforward person, and the feel of his hands is absolutely amazing!"

He scratched his head, unable to bring himself to say the word.

"Two pieces, please."

Wu Meixia was overjoyed with the outfit, which cost 350 yuan.

I reckon she's the only one among her colleagues who has this outfit.

"Big sister, see? Shaojun really cares about you. He'll buy you anything good."

What are you worried about? Once Shaojun earns even more money, he'll shower you with all sorts of good things.

Xia Enruo leaned on Wu Meixia's shoulder, looking in the mirror and praising her.

These words naturally resonated with her in this situation.

"Enruo, knowing that you are helping him, I am completely relieved."

He's too old for that kind of work, he can figure it out himself. I'm too old, I've been in the workplace for too long and I can't keep up with the times anymore.

He can do whatever he wants from now on, just please take care of him. I ask for nothing more.

"Just you wait and see, I won't let my brother and I live a bad life."

The three of them carried two large bags as they walked out. Wu Meixia was overjoyed with her haul for the day.

My mindset has been like a rollercoaster ride, soaring from the trough to the peak.

Xia Enruo tugged at Wu Shaojun's sleeve and whispered an instruction:

"Shaojun, don't forget to surprise Shaoying. And don't forget your girlfriend."

"Second sister, don't worry. Everything's been prepared. We're just waiting for her to come out on her day off!"

Another half month passed, and Xia Enru handed over the company's affairs to Zhao Mingyan and settled everything.

He led Ge Qiuqin and Zhao Minghui onto the train bound for Guangzhou.

For comfort, Xia Enruo specially bought a sleeper berth, since there was no high-speed rail and no flights to Yongning these days.

The green-skinned train takes 16 hours to get to Guangzhou, and sitting in a hard seat is extremely uncomfortable.

Before she left, she called Gu Shaoxuan back to help her mother-in-law soothe the child.

This business trip is expected to last about 10 days. Since I'm going to Guangzhou, I might as well take a good look around.

We should take a good look at the cutting-edge business opportunities of reform and opening up, especially the laundry industry.

She had already planned to establish a brand for her laundry shop and create the first domestic chain laundry brand.

This necessitates procuring high-quality, professional equipment so that customers can have greater peace of mind.

When Ge Qiuqin saw the little girl running back and forth in the carriage, her heart sank.

She thought of her fourth son, her missing youngest daughter.

The police have had no leads for so long, and Wu Meixia said the chances of finding them are extremely slim.

We can only continue the search when new clues emerge; for now, we have to put it aside.

She desperately wanted to know if her fourth son was well-fed and clothed, and whether he was being mistreated.

She couldn't bear to think about the vicious words Chen Yan had said to her before her death, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
