"Forget it, let Long Yi go in my place!" Bai Nuo said, frowning. She really didn't want to go to the Zhang family, regardless of whether she was invited or not.
It just so happens that the Zhang family and the Long brothers are both regular customers, so the Long brothers should go back and check on Zhang Jingwen's death.
Hu Mingmei nodded indifferently.
Immediately, Bai Nuo took the gift money to the Long family, explained the situation to Long Yi, and asked Long Yi to make the trip.
"Bai Nuo!" Bai Nuo had only taken a few steps after leaving the Long family when someone called out to her. Turning around, she saw Li Jinyu and her maid walking towards her with umbrellas.
Bai Nuo then stood and waited for her.
Li Jinyu wore a long, cloud-colored gauze dress that reached all the way to her ankles. Bai Nuo only noticed when she got closer that the front of her dress was slightly open, embroidered with pale pink silk thread. A bell hung from her waist, jingling as she walked. Her long, black hair was tied into a bun, with a few strands hanging down in front of her chest. The bun was only held in place by a hairpin. Her face was pretty, her skin was as white as snow, and a plum blossom was imprinted on her forehead.
Cui'er held a red umbrella over her.
After Li Jinyu walked over, he affectionately linked his arm with hers, saying, "I was just about to go to your shop to look for you, and what a coincidence that we ran into each other!"
Although Li Jinyu was also willful, her domineering nature was only directed at Zhang Jingwen. When facing others, she was always easy to talk to, so Bai Nuo had a pretty good impression of her—at least better than Zhang Jingwen.
"what?"
Instead of answering, Li Jinyu asked a question, glancing at the house behind Bai Nuo with some curiosity, "What are you doing here? Is your home here?"
Bai Nuo shook his head and smiled, "I just came here to find someone to do something for me!"
Li Jinyu didn't take Bai Nuo's words to heart, and grabbed her arm, saying with a smile, "Did you know? Zhang Jingwen is dead!"
Bai Nuo nodded. Of course she knew. Zhang Wu had personally informed her, and she had even given a gift to attend Zhang Jingwen's funeral.
"How did you know?" Bai Nuo looked at her with some curiosity. Did the news of Zhang Jingwen's death spread throughout the town so quickly?
“My dad told me!” Li Jinyu said with a smile. “The Zhang family even came to invite my dad to the funeral. My dad wanted us all to go, but I’m not going!”
Li Jinyu pouted, "It would be better if she died!"
Hearing this, Cui'er became extremely anxious and hurriedly called out, "Miss!"
If someone heard this, it would be a huge problem.
"Alright, alright!" Li Jinyu exclaimed, "I was just saying! Let's go, Bai Nuo, let's go to your shop!"
So Bai Nuo followed Li Jinyu into her shop, asking curiously as they walked, "What's going on between you and Zhang Jingwen?"
The person is dead, and the people around them are so happy they're practically laughing out loud. What kind of deep-seated hatred is this?
"Zhang Jingwen is such a pretentious person!" Li Jinyu said resentfully. "Don't be fooled by her appearance and think she's gentle or something. She's wicked. She's always stealing my things. I've never been able to take them from her. But my dad always considers her dad's feelings and tells me to give in to her!" Li Jinyu was indignant, her little hands clenched into fists!
Bai Nuo nodded; she also felt that Zhang Jingwen's performance was far from matching her actions.
"You're back?" The two walked and talked. When they arrived at the shop entrance, Hu Mingmei came out to greet them. When she saw that Li Jinyu was with her, she was stunned for a moment, and her smile immediately disappeared. She nodded to Li Jinyu expressionlessly, which was her way of saying hello.
"Wow!" Li Jinyu walked beside Bai Nuo and said in a low voice, "How can this guy be so scary?"
Bai Nuo looked at her in confusion, "Is it that scary?" She didn't think so; Hu Mingmei seemed quite approachable!
Li Jinyu nodded, "Yeah, didn't you see his cold face? He's even scarier than my dad. I'm most afraid of my dad when he's not talking, but looking at this man, I think my dad is quite kind!"
All right!
Bai Nuo led Li Jinyu into the store. Bai Nuo went behind the counter first, and while taking out a tray, asked, "What do you want?"
"You sell these things here?" Li Jinyu was definitely a huge pearl enthusiast. When she saw Bai Nuo take out so many earrings, bracelets and pendants, her eyes lit up immediately. Gold and pearls were already very dazzling, but the light in Li Jinyu's eyes was even brighter.
His eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
Seeing Li Jinyu so happy, Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, "She's only been out for two days!"
On the first day, because of the rumors, we almost thought we had no customers.
"It's so beautiful!" Li Jinyu exclaimed in a "Oh my god" expression. "Can I wear it?"
“Of course!” Bai Nuo smiled. “Try the earrings first.” Bai Nuo took out an earring, and Li Jinyu immediately turned to the side. Bai Nuo took off the earring that Li Jinyu was wearing and carefully put the earring on.
"Take a look first!" After putting the earrings on Li Jinyu, Bai Nuo took the mirror next to her and placed it in front of her so she could see. "If you don't like them, we can choose something else!"
Bai Nuo chose a second-tier style for Li Jinyu, with pearls dangling down to the neck.
“I think this one looks better!” Li Jinyu touched the earring, but her hand reached for another pair of earrings—they were made of two white pearls, one large and one small, connected by a gold thread. The upper pearl was small and detachable, while the lower pearl was round and full.
