Chapter 89 Invitation Rejected



Chapter 89 Invitation Rejected

"Dad has been very busy lately with the land division and can't get away. But my eldest brother is free. I will take him to the city first, and then take him there after Dad is done with his work."

"Okay."

Lu Yunchen hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid Dad doesn't want to go to the city, you just need to make arrangements with my eldest brother-in-law and mother-in-law."

That’s true!

Huang Xinran felt the same way. She had mentioned to Lu Tianlei before about going to the city to do business, but he had rejected the idea outright.

She also understood that the reason why Lu Tianlei was so worried was that, on the one hand, he was frightened by that special period in the past, and on the other hand, he was wholeheartedly thinking about Lu Yunchen.

Lu Yunchen was at the peak of his career in the army and had a bright future, so there was really no need for him to take the risk of going to the city - at least in Lu Tianlei's opinion, going to the city was a huge risk and was no better than staying in the countryside and continuing to be his secretary.

Huang Xinran was particularly understanding.

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Huang responded happily.

They both felt like they had a lot to say, but when the time came, they didn't know what to say. For a moment, they both stood there in a daze.

Lu Yunchen actually had a lot of questions to ask, but all he heard on the other end of the line was Huang Xinran's light breathing.

For a moment, he felt a rare ripple of emotion in his heart.

Huang Xinran didn't know what else to say. She wanted to hang up the phone, but then she felt like she was just throwing it away, so she simply cleared her throat and started talking about her child's recent situation.

"Yaya and Maomao are both fine. Both children miss you very much. Especially Maomao. That child is full of energy. He runs around with the paper gun you made for him all day long with it tied to his waist. He also said that he wanted to be a PLA soldier like you in the future."

These words immediately made Lu Yunchen laugh, and the firm lines on his face softened a lot.

"It's a good thing to have ideals. But he's still young and needs your care and attention. I'm far away and can't reach him. Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's okay, this is what I should do..."

Huang Xinran's face was burning, she hadn't noticed it before. But now, even though they were thousands of miles apart, she was actually moved by his deep laughter coming from the other end of the phone, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Someone happened to be coming over to the newsstand to make a phone call. Huang Xinran quickly turned around and spoke faster, "Long-distance calls are expensive, so let's just leave it at that for today. When you get the result, let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay, that's it, then?"

"goodbye."

Hearing a series of busy tones on the other end of the phone, Lu Yunchen also hung up the phone. After expressing his gratitude to the comrades in the communication room, he turned around and left.

All of this was seen by Jiang Tingting who was waiting outside.

Especially when he suddenly smiled, his tough facial features like sculptures softened, melting the ice on his face.

She had never seen Lu Yunchen like this before, and she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Seeing Lu Yunchen coming out, she hurriedly chased after him.

"Land Captain!~"

Jiang Tingting hurriedly trotted forward, and when she saw Lu Yunchen looking at her, she invited him seriously: "You saved me last time, and I haven't thanked you yet. Now that you are a busy man and have some free time, my dad wants to invite you to have a meal together so that I can thank you properly."

Jiang Tingting's father is Brigade Commander Jiang of their military region.

He personally hosted a party to thank Lu Yunchen. If this news were to get out, it would probably make many people jealous.

Jiang Tingting has always been proud of having a father who is a brigade commander!

Despite this, she has been working as a military doctor for many years, but she has always taken one step at a time and relied on her own ability to get to where she is today. It was a rare opportunity for her to persuade her father to help her, just to thank Lu Yunchen.

Jiang Tingting waited for his agreement with great joy. After all, she had never thought that Lu Yunchen would refuse.

When Lu Yunchen said "no", she was really stunned.

"No."

Lu Yunchen's tone was as cold as ever: "I just did what I should do. You don't have to take it to heart for just a few small things. I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first." After that, he walked away on his own.

Jiang Tingting was stunned on the spot, and only came to her senses after he walked away.

I gritted my teeth in anger. This Lu Yunchen really deserves the title of "Cold-faced King Yan". He is really stubborn...

It is said that when a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them, but when a woman pursues a man, there is only a veil between them.

She just didn't believe that there was any mountain that couldn't be toppled in front of her?

Huang Xinran paid for the long-distance phone call, which cost her several dollars in one go. Even with her current wealth, she couldn't help but feel the pain.

With Lu Yunchen's approval, it became much easier for her to find a store.

It's not that she only cares about her parents' family and not her husband's family. Not only is Lu Tianlei unwilling to go to the city, but Zhang Wenbi is currently busy sorting out the land that she has just been allocated with Lu Yunqian. She already feels bad for running to the city on the grounds that the two elders of the Lu family don't mind their own business. She can't bring Zhang Wenbi to the city as well and let the two old people live apart, right?

As for Lu Yunqian...

She was willing to let that ungrateful man make some clothes and earn some money just for Lu Yunchen's sake.

Do you still expect her to repay evil with kindness and help her open a shop?

She is sick!

On the contrary, if I just rent a shop for my parents and let them start a tailoring business, that would be fine...

Huang Xinran walked around for a day and soon she picked out two shops she liked.

Because she has the memory of the next few decades, she naturally understands which areas have great development prospects in the future and which areas will not be demolished in the next few decades.

Of the two shops she chose, one was in a location that would not be demolished for a long time in the future, so she could continue to run the business for a long time, and the other was in a location that would quickly become prosperous in the next few years but would be demolished in a few years.

Both shops have spacious openings and are not very deep.

Huang Xinran returned to the Huang family, found his parents and elder brother, and talked about the shop rent.

"I've seen both shops, and I think they're both in good locations. One shop rents out for 10 yuan a month, payable annually. The other shop rents out the backyard and the second floor together, and the rent is 15 yuan a month, payable every six months. You can decide which shop to choose after you've visited the shops."

“Which store do you think is better?”

Neither Huang Zhiye nor Huang Hongyi had ever opened a shop. They were completely in the dark and had no idea what to choose. They simply asked Huang Xinran what she thought.

Huang Xinran hesitated for a moment: "It depends on your own wishes. Do you want to invest more, or do you want to save costs as much as possible..."

“Cost savings.”

Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhiye spoke up, and the others nodded in agreement: "Of course, you know that it's not easy to make money these days. We have limited money at home, so we should spend as little as possible to avoid losing money in the future."
