The sales assistant did notice that the two women looked somewhat alike, and with her deliberate attempts to please them, she didn't expect to hit the mark by accident.
Both Shen Hui and Lu Huan were stunned when she said this.
Mother and daughter look alike?
Lu Huan was secretly delighted, and secretly glanced at Shen Hui beside her, wondering if she would be happy to hear this.
However, when I caught a glimpse of Shen Hui's face, I noticed that she seemed lost in thought for a moment, her face was slightly pale, and she didn't seem very happy.
Suddenly, she thought of the pain and sorrow that Shen Hui had endured when her child died young. The joy that had welled up in her heart vanished in an instant, and she stood there at a loss.
Lu Huan realized that Shen Hui and Ming Ze only looked like her parents, but in reality, they were not related by blood. Perhaps Shen Hui just treated her as an ordinary child. Thinking of this, she felt even more lost and sad.
Shen Hui was unaware of Lu Huan's little thoughts; she was completely shocked by the sales assistant's words.
The thoughts that had tormented her for several sleepless nights, and the fear that she wouldn't dare to meet Lu Huan because she was afraid she would be unable to resist treating Lu Huan as her daughter, all vanished in an instant.
So, they look a lot like mother and daughter?
Shen Hui didn't know how to express her feelings for a moment, and looked at Lu Huan with an ambiguous expression, her eyes unusually deep.
A child like Lu Huan is naturally loved by everyone, but she clearly understood that Lu Huan could not be her daughter; her child had long since passed away.
Shen Hui pursed her lips and stared blankly at Lu Huan in front of her, wondering if her child would be as cute and well-behaved as Lu Huan when he grew up.
The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment. The sales assistant looked at the two of them, thinking that she must have said something wrong to cause this situation.
She hurriedly apologized, but Lu Huan was the first to react, saying dryly, "It's okay, just don't apologize next time!"
"Please feel free to look around, I'll go check on your new bag." The sales assistant smiled apologetically and quickly walked to the back.
There were only Lu Huan and Shen Hui at the counter.
Lu Huan secretly glanced at Shen Hui's expression. Shen Hui had regained her composure and was no longer as lost in thought as before. Her eyes had also regained some brightness.
She leaned closer and whispered, "Second Aunt, don't be angry. Don't listen to their nonsense. They'll say anything against their conscience for the sake of sales. Just don't take it to heart. Actually, we're nothing... alike!"
Feeling inevitably disappointed and sad, she looked at Chen Hui with pitiful eyes.
Shen Hui liked this child and couldn't bear to see her looking so pitiful. Her heart softened completely. "No, I'm not angry. I'm just a little surprised that someone would say we look like mother and daughter!"
Actually, she herself didn't think Lu Huan looked like her. After others mentioned it, she carefully observed Lu Huan's appearance and still didn't think they looked alike.
But she knew that the moment she saw the child, she felt a surge of joy and couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
They were mother and daughter before!
Lu Huan inwardly roared, but outwardly laughed, "Yes, I was surprised too! I'm so happy to be told I look like you!"
Shen Hui was taken aback, for she could indeed see the word "joy" in her sincere eyes.
"Oh, right, Second Aunt, I..."
"Huanhuan?"
Just as Lu Huan was about to speak, an uncertain voice suddenly came from behind her. It sounded very familiar, so she subconsciously turned around to look at the person.
The other person was also delighted to see her and quickened their pace to walk over, saying, "It really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"
The person who came in was Guo Yi. She was shopping in the vicinity with some friends when she saw a figure in the store that looked like Lu Huan. Not quite sure, she wanted to go into the store to check and confirm whether she was seeing things correctly.
Unexpectedly, it really was Lu Huan.
Guo Yi hadn't seen Lu Huan for quite some time; the last time they met was before the Lunar New Year. Seeing her daughter's rosy complexion, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Huan never expected to meet Guo Yi here; it really was fate.
She called out "Mom," and Guo Yi, with a stern face, pretended to be angry and scolded her: "You still know how to call me Mom? You haven't been home for so long, I thought you didn't want me as your mother anymore!"
Lu Huan blushed. "Of course not."
"Then why don't you come stay at Zhendong's house this weekend? Your dad misses you too!"
Lu Huan: ...Could it be that Lu Zhong will need Gu Zhendong's help again?
Lu Huan really couldn't make the decision on this matter. If she agreed on her own, she might be pushing Gu Zhendong into a fire pit again.
Lu Huan smiled. "I'll go back and ask him. He's been quite busy lately!"
Guo Yi said, "It's alright, it's just the time it takes to eat a meal." Then she turned her questioning gaze to Shen Hui next to Lu Huan, "By the way, Huanhuan, who is this? I've never seen her before?"
Shen Hui spends most of her time abroad and doesn't keep a high profile in China. She also rarely hangs out with other wealthy women in the entertainment industry, so Guo Yi naturally doesn't know her.
Lu Huan quickly introduced, "Mom, let me introduce you. This is my second aunt. Second aunt, this is my mother!"
"Hello, Mrs. Lu, my name is Shen Hui!"
"Hello!" Guo Yi sized up Shen Hui. The other woman was dressed in extraordinary clothes and exuded an air of nobility. Guo Yi searched her mind but couldn't match the name Shen Hui with any other woman in the industry.
She thought to herself that she had never heard of Gu Zhendong having an uncle or any other elder.
Both sides were very polite and friendly, greeting each other with smiles. Guo Yi asked, "Are you here to buy a bag?"
"No, I was just looking around!" Lu Huan replied. "Mom, what about you?"
"I just came out for a casual stroll with two friends."
Guo Yi has been doing quite well lately. Her husband and daughter are both successful in their careers, busy from early morning to late at night. She's just staying at home alone, which is really boring, so she invited a few friends out to relax.
Guo Yi happened to run into Lu Huan here. She said goodbye to her friends and accompanied her daughter to look at bags with Shen Hui.
Guo Yi hadn't seen her for a long time. She kept rambling on about the trivialities of life. She knew her daughter, whom she had raised, all too well; she had a lot of quirks.
Now that you're married, you should tone down your temper a bit, so that you and your husband don't end up arguing over such trivial matters.
Shen Hui sat to the side, listening to Guo Yi reminiscing about Lu Huan's words, which were full of life. She thought to herself that this was the true way for mothers and daughters to get along.
Shen Hui fell silent for a moment. Lu Huan blushed deeply after Guo Yi recounted many embarrassing stories from her childhood. She secretly glanced at Shen Hui beside her and said coquettishly, "Mom, please stop talking. Auntie is still here!"
I wonder if my second aunt would laugh at me if she knew about these things from her childhood!
Guo Yi teased, "So you know how to be shy now?" Then she turned to Shen Hui with a smile and said, "This child has always been very mischievous since she was little."
Shen Hui quite liked Lu Huan; sometimes her mischievousness was even more endearing, and she was also very good at being coquettish.
While chatting, the sales assistant brought over the newly arrived bag, and the two said in unison, "This bag is nice, Huanhuan, why don't you try it on?"
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other again, but neither of them said anything.
This bag features elements that are currently very popular among young people, so it sold out immediately upon release, and this is the only one left in their store.
"Miss, this bag really suits your style, why don't you try it on?"
This bag has a very strong design sense, and even though Lu Huan has no interest in designer bags, she was still attracted to it at first glance.
Turning his back to the mirror, Lu Huan was bombarded with compliments by the saleswoman, which Lu Huan, the person in question, found almost unbearable.
The bag was beautiful, but it was also very expensive. Lu Huan was shocked when she inquired about the price.
This bag isn't very large, yet it costs over 300,000 yuan—that's far too expensive.
The sales assistant didn't think much of it; after all, the bag Lu Huan was carrying was a limited edition LV, something that money couldn't buy.
Lu Huan looked reluctant to spend her own money, which made Shen Hui want to laugh. She didn't expect the little girl to be so stingy with money.
"Do you like this one? If you do, buy it. It's not that expensive anyway."
Lu Huan also thought the bag was pretty, but she wasn't a bag addict; she already had many at home and didn't really need this one.
As she hesitated, Shen Hui said, "It's okay, I'll buy it!"
Guo Yi, who was standing to the side, felt something was off. Why did Shen Hui buy it for Lu Huan?
Are they that close?
Guo Yi looked at the two of them and quickly forced a smile, "How could I let you spend the money? Let me buy it!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Lu Huan, her eyes filled with undisguised amazement, "Huanhuan, if you like it, Mom will buy it for you!"
Guo Yi has spoiled Lu Huan since she was a child. As a mother, she wanted to give Lu Huan the best of everything in the world. Basically, she never refused Lu Huan's every wish.
After finding her biological daughter Lu Sangsang, Guo Yi's attitude towards Lu Huan changed slightly, but she still treated Lu Huan better than her own biological daughter.
If Lu Sangsang hadn't pushed Lu Huan down the stairs, Guo Yi might have gradually forgotten about Lu Huan. But because of this incident, Guo Yi realized that regardless of whether Lu Huan was her biological daughter or not, she was still the daughter she had doted on since childhood. Whether they were related by blood or not was not that important.
It's just a bag, it's not a big deal.
It was perfectly legitimate for Guo Yi to buy a bag for her daughter, but as an outsider, she didn't seem to have a good reason or excuse to buy a bag for Lu Huan.
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue, smiled, and turned her gaze to Lu Huan.
Lu Huan was stunned, not expecting the two of them to be vying to buy her a bag. "No need, Mom, I have money, I can buy it myself!"
Anyway, Gu Zhendong gives her so much money every month, it seems like a waste not to spend it.
"No need, it's your money, you can keep it for yourself. Mom bought it for you!" Guo Yi took out her bank card from her bag and handed it to the sales assistant. "Could you please pack this bag for me?"
Regardless of who pays today, the sales assistant is already profiting, and she's even more enthusiastic: "Okay, please follow me!"
Guo Yi went to the cashier to pay, while Lu Huan and Shen Hui sat on the sofa to wait.
Shen Hui suddenly blurted out, "Your mom must spoil you a lot, right?"
Even though she's not his biological daughter, the other person bought her a bag without batting an eye, so he must spoil her like a daughter!
