When Lu Mo's father had his accident, many of Lin Shufang's relatives and friends advised her to abort the child so that she could remarry. However, Lin Shufang, who was always gentle and easy to talk to, refused without hesitation and said that she would give birth to the child no matter how hard it was.

After Lu Mo was born, he was weak and sickly. Lin Shufang took on the role of both father and mother, raising her son with great hardship. Fortunately, she had the old man's help, otherwise she might not have been able to make it through. When Lu Mo was a little older, many people advised her to remarry, but Lin Shufang refused them all. As time went on, everyone knew her feelings, and no one made any more introductions for her.

Lin Shufang didn't want to remarry for two reasons. First, she loved Lu Mo's father deeply and felt she could never find a man better than him. Second, she was worried about her fate. Whether it was a coincidence or not, her parents and husband had one accident after another, and Lu Mo almost became disabled. All of this made Lin Shufang feel very guilty. She felt that she might really be a jinx, so she didn't want to remarry to avoid harming others.

At the time, most people sympathized with Lin Shufang, or at most, they were indifferent to her misfortune. But Yang Jinfeng was the only one who gloated. Lin Shufang had gone to a big city to become a teacher, while she could only work in a small county town. She was happiest when Lin Shufang was in trouble.

But the more gloating she was back then, the more bitter she is now.

Ye Qingqing saw through the woman's envious, jealous, and hateful expression and sneered inwardly. If this woman had even a shred of kinship, she wouldn't have let Lu Mo show her any mercy.

He wanted to take advantage of Lin Shufang, but secretly wished for her misfortune. Such a despicable person doesn't deserve any sympathy.

Yang Jinfeng shamelessly wanted to go to the Xiangjiang Hotel, but Ye Qingqing casually made up an excuse to send her away. After lunch, Gongsun Lin and Ruan Yingzi went out to play together, while Ye Qingqing accompanied Lu Mo and the others to visit the graves of Lin Shufang's parents.

Fortunately, Lin Shufang had someone clean the grave regularly, so the grave looked quite tidy. As soon as Lin Shufang saw the grave, she burst into tears, knelt down and kowtowed, saying that she was an unfilial daughter. Lu Mo also knelt down, and Ye Qingqing knelt down without thinking, since she had come with Lu Mo anyway.

Lin Shufang was surprised and deeply moved. She gently patted her head and said, "Good girl!"

After visiting the grave, the old man rested at the hotel, while Lin Shufang took them shopping. The area wasn't very developed yet, far behind Pingjiang, but it was clear that the government was taking action. The industrial and commercial zones were becoming more distinct, and Ye Qingqing even saw several shopping malls and residential complexes under construction. Suddenly, she remembered something.

There's a very famous clothing wholesale market in Hangzhou, and there's also a world-renowned market in Wucheng. They're both just starting out. She should buy a batch of shops as soon as possible; these shops will be a gold mine in the future!

She whispered her plan in Lu Mo's ear. Lu Mo's eyes flickered, and he had a strange feeling. This girl really liked buying real estate, and she was very sure that those properties would appreciate in value. She bought them as if they were free. This time, she mentioned the small commodity market and the clothing market again. He was also planning to buy a few stalls!

Lu Mo looked at Ye Qingqing suspiciously, deliberately probing, "Those markets are just starting out, and it's still unknown whether they can grow big. You'd better be cautious."

"It will definitely grow big, and you'll find it hard to get a shop there in the future. You definitely won't regret buying it," Ye Qingqing said confidently.

"Are you so sure?" Lu Mo's voice was solemn.

Ye Qingqing was startled. She had accidentally let something slip. What should she do now?

Lu Mo looked at her inscrutablely for a few seconds before saying, "Buy it if you want!"

He'll let this girl go for now, and later he'll make her willingly reveal her secret.
