The Liu family was constantly arguing, their once happy life was shattered, their income decreased, and Liu Zihao's treatment plummeted.

Because Liu Min felt increasingly disgusted with his son, thinking that his future had been ruined by him.

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

The Liu family perfectly exemplifies this statement.

Later, even Liu's mother couldn't take it anymore. From then on, Liu Zihao became like a ghost at home and never dared to be willful again.

Xia Lan felt no sympathy for the Liu family after learning of their plight.

There's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

Their overindulgence caused their son's problems, so how could they possibly erase them with just a few words?

Everyone has to pay the price for what they do.

From then on, Tuantuan and Yuanyuan carried their schoolbags with confidence, and their relationship improved considerably.

The two children successfully made friends, but they did not neglect each other.

This made Xia Lan smile.

Xia Lan has been so busy lately that she's neglected Qin Yu as a result.

Looking at Xia Lan, who was working hard every day to refine her work and was wholeheartedly devoted to the shopping mall, Qin Yu pursed his lips.

Although he felt sorry for her, it was something she wanted to do, so he naturally wouldn't stop her.

Qin Yu made Xia Lan some hot milk and gently brought it to her lips.

Xia Lan glanced at Qin Yu, then obediently drank the milk.

"I'll be done in a minute."

"Um."

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, kissed her forehead, and left with the empty cup.

As Xia Lan watched his departing figure, a wave of guilt suddenly washed over her.

Xia Lan quickly finished what she was doing, and as soon as Qin Yu returned, she climbed into bed and snuggled into his arms.

Qin Yu chuckled as he looked at Xia Lan, who was so well-behaved.

"What's wrong?"

Have I been neglecting you lately, making you unhappy?

Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu and asked cautiously.

"I am a little unhappy, I know you are busy."

Qin Yu patted Xia Lan's head and readily admitted it.

"……sorry."

Xia Lan hugged Qin Yu, feeling guilty.

"Don't apologize. I was too busy to be by your side before."

Qin Yu kissed her gently and then hugged her tightly.

"If I have to say who I feel guilty about, it's you I feel the most guilty about!"

Qin Yu abandoned his family for several months in order to complete his mission; he was the one who wronged her.

She had to bear so much all by herself.

"Thank you."

Xia Lan was deeply moved.

"I did feel a bit neglected, so is there any compensation?"

Qin Yu looked at Xia Lan, turned around and pinned her down.

Ask for the reward he wants.

Seeing Qin Yu say this, Xia Lan blushed, and the desire in his eyes made her dare not look at him.

"...I have to get up early for a meeting tomorrow morning."

Xia Lan blushed and glanced at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu's eyes lit up.

"Don't worry, I'll personally take you to your workplace."

Qin Yu couldn't wait to lower his head and kiss Xia Lan's lips.

Xia Lan paused, feeling helpless.

She meant no, so how did this man interpret it as agreement?

A passionate kiss silenced Xia Lan's initial refusal, and she was ultimately drawn into a sea of ​​desire by Qin Yu, sinking into depravity with him.

Men only want to hear what they want to hear.

The next morning, Qin Yu thoughtfully took the exhausted Xia Lan to his office. Xia Lan glared at him the whole way, but he remained calm and composed, as if bathed in a gentle breeze.

This dog of a man, finally getting to eat meat after so long, is just so dog-like.

Xia Lan's plan has been approved by the leadership, and thanks to Xiao Guoqiang's publicity, she has also secured several rounds of sponsorship.

This gave Xia Lan even more confidence to make the event a success.

Compared to such a major event, Xia Lan's dismissal of those employees seemed insignificant.

Xiao Guoqiang smiled and smoothed things over.

For the event in the mall, Xia Lan specially invited a carpenter to personally build the runway she would walk on.

She even specially asked Chen Hua to send her all the clothes she designed, as well as clothes designed by Chu Xiaolan, all of which are currently the most popular and best-selling clothes.

Then every day, they would let the girls in these migrant worker groups try on these beautiful new clothes.

Help them develop self-confidence.

"Oh my! This is so embarrassing!"

"How am I supposed to wear this?! My thighs are all exposed..."

"I'm so embarrassed! My dad would kill me if he found out!"

"Couldn't this dress have used a little more fabric?"

"This skirt is almost up to my thighs, how am I supposed to wear it...?"

"..."

Girls in the 1980s had never seen such fashionable clothes before.

When I got the clothes, I had no idea how to wear them.

Xia Lan chuckled, picked up a set of clothes, and went to change.

When Xia Lan walked out in high heels, all the girls were stunned.

The construction workers, who were helping with the construction, couldn't help but look over when they saw Xia Lan walking over in a cheongsam.

The platform is halfway done and already stable.

"Master, may I go up and walk around here?"

"Yes, yes."

Upon hearing Xia Lan's words, the master quickly nodded.

"Girls!"

Xia Lan clapped her hands at the girls, and as their expectant gazes turned towards her, Xia Lan's aura changed completely.

The young women in the migrant worker group witnessed a scene they would never have imagined in their lives.

Xia Lan, dressed in a cheongsam, is elegant and poised, embodying feminine grace.
