"Qin!" The old lady raised her head and her eyes fell on Qin Nanjing. Her originally haggard face immediately became slightly angry. "Why are you here?"
"I……"
Qin Nanjing was about to speak when she was interrupted by Hu.
"Mom, why are you telling her this? Let's go in quickly. I heard there's a new sweet soup here that will surely whet your appetite."
After returning from Wanfo Temple, the old lady would think of the scene that day every time she ate, which caused her appetite to decrease greatly.
I could only barely eat a small bowl of porridge and some vegetables.
In just half a month, the old lady lost a lot of weight.
The old lady's figure, which was not plump to begin with, now looks even more skinny.
Qin Nanjing couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, then immediately lowered them, revealing a look of disapproval.
"Qinglian, although the old lady was a bit harsh on you in the past, she never deprived you of food. Now that you are the head of the household, you can't treat the old lady so harshly. Look at her now. She hasn't had a full meal in several days, right?"
The dessert shop has improved many traditional desserts according to the tastes of the day and night, and has recently attracted many young customers.
At this moment, there were dozens of people queuing outside the store to buy desserts, including several who knew them.
Although Qin Nanjing's voice was not loud, the people nearby could hear it clearly.
Rumors are powerful. If this were to get out, Mrs. Hu would be branded as being harsh on her mother-in-law.
She retorted loudly, "What nonsense are you talking about? Mother is like this now because of you..."
"Because of me?" Qin Nanjing interrupted her, "On Buddha's Birthday, the people threw shit all over you..."
"Shut up!" the old lady interrupted angrily.
She can't bear to hear the words "Buddha's Birthday" now.
The half word rolled around on Qin Nanjing's tongue and then retracted.
She shrugged helplessly, feeling disgusted when she mentioned it.
"Then Madam Rong, please do as you please."
After saying that, Qin Nanjing walked into the store without looking back.
"No?!" Mrs. Hu looked at Qin Nanjing who walked straight into the store and the cakes that the waiter brought her, and questioned the waiter with an angry face.
"Why is she allowed in? Isn't your motto 'Even the most powerful people have to queue up'?"
The waiter gave her a strange look.
"Don't you know?" the lady in front of Mrs. Hu said, "This shop is owned by Mrs. Rong."
“Ah…?!” Mrs. Hu was stunned.
"No wonder... no wonder this place feels so familiar to me!" the old lady murmured. "So this is that woman's shop!"
The old lady then remembered that this was one of the shops she had ruined.
Unexpectedly, after being abandoned for many years, it was reopened by Qin Nanjing.
At this time, Qin Nanjing came out with cakes and sweet soup, "Madam Rong, how about I give this to you?"
"You're old and in poor health. If something happens to you out there in the hot sun and word gets out, people will think I'm targeting my ex-mother-in-law who kicked us out."
"Although you chose to abandon us without hesitation when the general was in danger. But don't worry, although I am no longer your daughter-in-law, I will still respect you as I respect other elders."
Her tone was quite helpless and sincere.
"You...!" Every time the old lady heard Qin Nanjing speak, she felt like she was going to be mad to death.
She always talks about the things that hurt her.
When did Qin become so sharp-tongued?
"Who wants your things! Let's go!" The old lady angrily waved her sleeves and left.
Mrs. Hu glared at Qin Nanjing hatefully and then got into the car.
Qin Nanjing steadied the food box in her hand, which was almost knocked over by the old lady.
"What's wrong? I just want to show some concern." A look of grievance appeared on her face.
When others saw this, they all frowned and tried to comfort Qin Nanjing.
"Isn't this old lady from the Rong family going too far? Someone kindly gave her something, but not only did she refuse it, she even nearly knocked it over!"
"Mrs. Rong, please don't bother with them. Be careful that your kindness will be taken for granted."
"Since we are no longer a family, there is no need for you to care about their expressions..."
Everyone was talking at once, and Qin Nanjing's face lit up with a smile.
She sincerely thanked them and asked the shopkeeper to give a 30% discount to all the customers today.
"Yanzhu, spread the news that we deliberately suppressed the Annan Marquis Mansion's industries." Qin Nanjing said.
Yan Zhu's eyes lit up instantly, "Madam, are we going to deal with them openly?"
"It's about time." Qin Nanjing said calmly, "Secretly suppressing them will only make them stay at home and feel depressed."
"I now feel that having them watch their wealth, which they have built up for over a decade, being easily taken away by me, and then feeling helpless and angry when they can't do anything about it, is much more interesting than just watching them sulk behind our backs..."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll arrange it when I get back." Yan Zhu's eyes sparkled with excitement.
The skills she had painstakingly learned over the years of house fighting finally came in handy...
No, now we are not a family anymore, it’s not a house fight... it’s a business war.
It seems that I need to learn some skills related to business warfare.
…
On another street, Rong Xuqing took Chaoxi and Rong Yuanyou to inspect the shops.
She has recently been learning how to manage the family business with Qin Nanjing.
And this jewelry store was the first one assigned to her.
In the two months since I took over, the store's business has not increased, but it has not decreased either, so it can be said to be developing steadily.
After Chaoxi went to the dessert shop several times, the owner improved the recipe according to her requirements, which attracted many customers.
Rong Xuqing wondered if Chaoxi had any unique insights on matching.
