After arriving at the destination, Wen Zhu assigned Su Yue to go into the martial arts gym to find Hong Sheng himself, and then quickly adjusted her facial expression and put on some makeup to cover up the traces of red and swollen eyes.
Not long after, Hong Sheng walked out of the gate quickly and jumped lightly into the four-wheeled carriage that had been waiting at the door for a long time. The two maids stayed outside and continued to wait as arranged by their master.
"Sister, you know about this, right?"
Although they had just met, the sharp-minded boy obviously noticed the strange change in his sister's face.
He nodded slightly in response, and his eyes turned red again.
"Besides Dad, I can also rely on others." At such a young age, he has learned to speak in a mature and firm manner, as if to cheer himself up.
After hearing this, Wen Zhu was stunned for a moment and stared at his brother blankly.
"Mom once told me that she owed you a lot, and asked me to protect and take good care of you." When he said this, tears flashed in the boy's eyes and his voice became a little trembling.
"No matter what happens in the future, we should unite more closely."
After a moment of silence, the girl suppressed her inner sadness and asked, "What kind of woman is that person you're talking about?"
"She's actually quite nice and capable. Ever since Mom left us, Dad's mental state has been very low. It's almost entirely up to her to manage the entire shop, and it's what's helped the business pick up and prosper."
The little boy tried his best to describe the image of the woman.
She also advised her father not to drink too much.
Oh, and she also gives me money and food.”
Hong Sheng lowered his head and answered in a muffled voice.
"She sounds pretty good."
After hearing this, Wen Zhu's frown relaxed a little, and the pressure that had accumulated in his heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
But she is not my mother."
When Hong Sheng said this, his voice suddenly choked and tears welled up in his eyes.
That’s right, she’s not the mother.”
When Wen Zhu heard his brother say this, his eyes turned red and he nodded heavily, as if to confirm his feelings.
At this moment, in this world, perhaps only Hong Sheng can truly understand the unspeakable bitterness and regret in her heart.
I want to avenge my mother."
There was an unyielding light in Wen Zhu's eyes as he said this sentence firmly and decisively.
I will work harder to practice kung fu and achieve success in the future.
No matter how powerful the person who hurt my mother is, I will make them pay with blood."
Hong Sheng raised his head and responded to his sister's words with the same determined eyes.
He showed extraordinary courage and ambition at such a young age, which is both heartbreaking and admirable.
Afterwards, Wen Zhu took out a piece of silver from the small bag he was carrying and handed it to his brother, wanting to give him some help with life.
"Take it, this is for you by your sister."
But Hong Sheng waved his hand and refused, "Dad and stepmother just gave me money today, it's enough."
Seeing this, and thinking that there wasn't much expense involved in learning martial arts, Wen Zhu didn't say anything more.
So Wen Zhu asked for leave for Hong Sheng, and then took him by the hand to go to a nearby restaurant with a good reputation to enjoy delicious food.
As expected, the words "This kid has a really big appetite" are not groundless - even the shop owner was amused by seeing the plates on the table in front of him being emptied quickly.
Looking at the younger brother sitting opposite me and eating heartily, a warm feeling came over me, and I couldn't help but sigh that it was a blessing to have such a sensible and hardworking brother by my side.
Eat more, grow taller, and become stronger, so that you will have more strength to overcome any challenges in the future."
Wen Zhu looked gently at his younger brother who was wolfing down his food, secretly encouraging him on his path to growth.
After finishing a sumptuous meal, he sent Hong Sheng home with a satisfied look on his face, and then asked the coachman to drive him to another branch of the brand called Yaotaiyue.
However, it should be noted that the destination this time is not the location of the official store, but the newly established place next door with a plaque with the words "Yunxia Pavilion" hanging on it.
It is said that this place not only retains some old employees from the original store, but also has a large number of young people newly recruited to support its daily operations.
Mr. Ding, who previously served as the deputy director of Yaotai Yue for many years, has now become one of the main persons in charge of Yunxia Pavilion; at the same time, Qingti, who was originally unknown but had excellent business capabilities, was also promoted to the second manager of this branch.
Since giving birth to the baby until today, this is the first time that Wen Zhu has had the opportunity to personally meet her former comrade-in-arms whom she has not seen for a long time - the brave and strong mother and outstanding business woman Qingti.
Compared to before, Qingti seems to be much more cheerful.
There was more confidence and ease in his eyes, and he looked more energetic.
"Greetings to you."
Qingti greeted with a smile, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, giving people a friendly and warm feeling.
Wen Zhu playfully hit Qingti, the action was light but full of intimacy: "If you say these polite words again, I won't be happy."
"Haven't I congratulated you yet? I heard your baby is pretty strong."
Qingti smiled, a hint of concern and envy in her voice.
When talking about Bao Ge'er, Wen Zhu immediately beamed and said, "He is indeed strong, eats well, sleeps well, and is very well-behaved. He is now being taken care of by his grandmother. I see her always laughing with joy when she plays with him. The old lady likes him very much and often praises him as a blessing from heaven."
"It's really God's blessing."
Seeing Wen Zhu so happy, Qingti was also relieved.
He was also happy for this family from the bottom of his heart, as if this happiness could also infect himself.
"Are you used to it here now?"
Wen Zhu asked about Qingti, with a hint of concern in his eyes.
"I'm used to it. Everyone is working very hard and proactively, and the atmosphere is great. I even sleep better now, and I don't have nightmares as often."
Qingti answered happily, with a sincere smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was quite satisfied with his life here.
Hearing this, Wen Zhu felt relieved. She trusted this young man's talent even more: "Then you should learn from Mr. Ding. I will leave the new cloth shop to you."
Qingti nodded heavily in response to Wen Zhu's trust and expectations, and a resolute strength surged in his heart: "I will definitely not let you down, I will redouble my efforts."
After Wen Zhu checked the store, she was very satisfied with everything. It was neat and tidy, just as she expected.
Afterwards, the three of them reviewed the account books of Yunxia Pavilion together. The atmosphere was very harmonious, as if they were sharing the results of each other's efforts.
Qingti was amazed at Wen Zhu's speed and precision in using the abacus: "You're so skilled at using this thing! Every bead seems to come alive in your hands."
