"You can think that way if you want, whether you move or not is your business." Yan Shi smiled nonchalantly. People need to be calm and collected; being too impulsive is useless.
She glanced at Song Ling. Someone like Song Ling was the one with brains; Jiang Yuqing, that idiot, would ruin herself sooner or later.
At noon, Lin Xiazhu received a call from Yan Xin. Yan Xin had just gotten up and was yawning as she spoke to her, "What are you doing? Why don't we have lunch together?"
"I'm almost full. I just went to look at the house and thought it was pretty good, so I bought it right away." After finishing the last bite of her meal, Lin Xiazhu waved to the waiter to come and settle the bill.
"You're moving too fast! You bought several sets." Yan Xin knew her well enough to know that it was definitely more than one set.
"Two sets. I have enough money to buy another one, but I didn't find one I liked. I'll look again next time." Lin Xiazhu lowered her voice; she didn't want to announce it to the whole world.
"A rich woman, she might be even richer than me in the future." Yan Xin lay sprawled on the bed like a lazy bum.
"Stop making sarcastic remarks. I can't reach the level of your Yan family. Even if I were lucky enough to do so, I would at most be a nouveau riche, completely out of place in your circle."
Lin Xiazhu walked out of the restaurant and instead of immediately hailing a taxi, she slowly walked forward along the sidewalk beside the street.
"I'll help you. Actually, it's not that hard to fit in." Yan Xin's tone became serious, as if she was thinking about how to help her.
"I haven't thought about these things. I just want to live a peaceful life. Why bother with all that useless stuff?" The wealthy family doesn't belong to her. She grew up in a remote mountain village. How could she easily integrate into it?
She didn't want to compromise herself too much, and she was afraid that no matter how much she gave, she would end up with a hybrid that was superficial and lacked substance, which would be awkward.
She doesn't consider herself to be the elegant or otherworldly type. Having lived an extra life, all she wants is to earn more money so that she and her family can live more comfortably. She hasn't indulged in anything extravagant. People should be realistic and have self-awareness.
Time flies and it's almost the end of the year again. Yan Xin's jewelry store opened two months ago, and her small processing factory is now on track and business seems to be doing quite well.
Although Yan Xin said she wanted to rely on herself and not ask for help from her family, Mrs. Yan couldn't help but secretly encourage other wealthy women to buy jewelry from her daughter's jewelry store.
When Yan Xin's jewelry designs were auctioned, Mrs. Yan would privately instruct people to buy them back at high prices. With her help, Yan Xin's jewelry store developed very well.
Winter vacation is coming in a few days, and Lin Xiazhu is going back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year. Yan Xin invited her out for dinner and bought a lot of things for her to take back with her.
They had booked a private room, and Yan Xin handed them several bags. "These are all clothes. Each of your three younger sisters will have a set, and the shoes are also matched. This is New Year's money, one for each of you, and you will get one too."
Sigh, what a pity. Actually, she really wanted to buy Lin Xiazhu a few new outfits, but this guy flatly refused, "Don't buy them for me, I won't not wear them even if you do."
"Why won't you let me buy it for you? It doesn't cost much, and this little bit of money is nothing to me." Yan Xin was furious; she just wanted to dress Lin Xiazhu up.
This person really doesn't care about their clothes. They always wear the same high ponytail and casual suits, and all of these clothes were bought in S City before.
Although it's a dress from a specialty store, it would make you look very prestigious and classy in the county town, but it would be too ordinary to wear in Beijing. How could an eighteen-year-old girl not even have a dress?
“Look at your classmates, they’re all learning to wear makeup and carrying all sorts of designer bags and luxury goods. You’re not without the means, don’t deprive yourself too much,” Yan Xin advised earnestly.
"Why are you worrying about this? I'm happy as long as I'm happy. I don't care about luxury goods or pretty clothes. I don't want to date. Who am I dressing up for?" Lin Xiazhu scoffed.
"Who says you have to be in a relationship to dress up? Girls should live a refined life. You're just too rough around the edges. It's a waste of your pretty face." Yan Xin clicked her tongue in disdain.
"All-natural, pollution-free, and I'm not ugly, so I'm not insecure. Anyway, my happiness comes first."
Not to brag, but she is 1.69 meters tall, and her skin is fair and supple, probably because she has eaten too much Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. She doesn't need makeup to cover up her flaws.
She's also worried that cosmetics might damage her skin. In winter, she just needs to apply a face mask and moisturizer; she doesn't need to do anything too complicated.
Seeing that Yan Xin was about to persuade her, Lin Xiazhu quickly interrupted, "Stop. Save these words for when Lin Xiaoxue comes later. She'll definitely be very interested and you can talk about them forever."
Yan Xin choked and muttered, "Forget about Lin Xiaoxue, she doesn't need me to teach her. I think she loves beauty more than anyone else. She secretly started using cheap cosmetics a few years ago. When she comes to the capital, she'll probably dress herself up like a peacock."
She just thought Lin Xiazhu was too plain. With such a good foundation, if she had paid more attention to her appearance, she would definitely be the most beautiful girl in the department. How could her sister Yan Shi have a chance?
Lin Xiazhu had a very hard life in her past life. She was very thin and her complexion was always pale and bloodless. However, she had very good facial features: an oval face, big eyes, delicate and well-shaped eyebrows, a small and straight nose, cherry lips, and a tall and well-proportioned figure.
She was definitely a beauty, otherwise Chen Zisong would never have been interested in her, but she managed to make herself look very ordinary and unremarkable.
“I don’t want to be harassed. I’m afraid some scoundrels will insist on pursuing me and wasting my time. If I get angry, I can’t help but punch them to death.”
Like in her past life, she was in a factory, and a workshop foreman wanted to take advantage of her. He deliberately touched her buttocks when she wasn't paying attention. When she got angry, she broke his arm.
Well, back then she wasn't as strong as she is now. She was only a little stronger than two strong men. She used all her strength to break their arms back then, but now she could probably do it with only 20% of her strength.
However, after breaking someone's hand in her previous life, she was fined 300 yuan by the factory and had to pay for the workshop director's hospital expenses. At that time, her monthly salary was only 600 yuan, and it would take her several months of unpaid work to make up for the loss.
So for those few months, I didn't have any money to send home, and Zhao Xiaolian scolded me terribly, almost coming to the factory to beat me up.
Now she's a top student at Yenching University and doesn't want to cause too much trouble. It's not that she's violent, but she's prone to losing control sometimes and can accidentally hurt someone.
"A college romance is the most beautiful memory of your life. It would be a shame if you didn't give it a try. Open your eyes and see, there are actually many outstanding guys at Yanda University. Don't miss this great opportunity!" Yan Xin blinked and kept urging him on.
"If you like him, go and date him. You were obsessed with Chen Zisong in your past life. Now that you don't care about him anymore, go pursue other happiness." I wasn't going to be swayed by her.
"I'm not interested in dating right now, I just want to make money." Yan Xin raised her chin arrogantly.
"I'm not interested in dating at all; I just want to live a more enjoyable life." Lin Xiazhu was even more audacious, as if men had no place in her world across both lifetimes.
