Before we knew it, the day arrived for the embroidery shop to open.
Early in the morning, the flower baskets that Yu Qian sent her for the opening ceremony had already lined half the street.
The other half of the street was also filled with flower baskets sent by Huo Beixiao, Tong Xuejiao, Qiao Haifan, Zhou Yang, Xie Fengxia and others.
Grandma Tong wore a brand-new Shu-embroidered jacket with the character "福" (fortune) on it today.
Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao helped her out to the embroidery shop.
When the opening ceremony arrived, not only did Yang Qiaoqiao invite the chairman and vice-chairman of the Beicheng Business Association, but also the Shu embroidery industry master invited by Grandma Tong.
After Yang Qiaoqiao and a group of bigwigs cut the ribbon, a theatrical troupe took to the stage to perform.
In addition, refreshments are provided free of charge.
In no time, the area outside the embroidery shop was packed with people, creating a lively and bustling scene.
In addition to the opera troupe set up outside, a stage was also set up inside the embroidery shop.
Yang Qiaoqiao spent a lot of money to hire famous Peking Opera actors to perform.
Before opening, she conducted research and found that those who appreciate Peking Opera and those who appreciate their handmade custom-made clothing are roughly the same group.
Therefore, those who can enter the embroidery shop to watch Peking Opera are her target customer group.
Among these people, many were old acquaintances of Grandma Tong.
Grandma Tong's usually somewhat arrogant face was completely devoid of coldness today. She watched Peking Opera, chatted with each of her old acquaintances, and smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum.
Yang Qiaoqiao also moved among the crowd to greet customers and introduce those who were interested.
Yang Qiaoqiao had just finished introducing something to a customer when she saw a familiar figure running past in a panic.
Yang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, stepped out, and saw Peng Cuiying run into the alley next to her.
No wonder Peng Cuiying was going to Jiang Yongxian's house?
That shouldn't be happening!
Jiang Yongxian has now been detained as a criminal suspect, and just a couple of days ago, real estate agents even brought people to view Jiang Yongxian's house.
As far as he knew, Jiang Yongxian had registered the house under He Nian's name when he bought it to show his loyalty to the He family.
It's now quite clear that the He family has decided to sell the house because of Jiang Yongxian's troubles.
What is Peng Cuiying trying to do?
She guessed that Peng Cuiying knew they were living next door to Jiang Yongxian, and she was worried that Peng Cuiying might take advantage of their busy schedules to go to Grandma Tong's house and do something heinous, like poisoning the water tank.
Therefore, without much thought, she immediately followed.
She had just stepped out of the store when Huo Beixiao immediately chased after her, "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong?"
Yang Qiaoqiao told Jiang Yongxian about seeing Peng Cuiying enter the alley.
Jiang Yongxian took her hand. "I'll go with you."
Qiao Haifan specially coordinated his time today to leave the film set and attend Yang Qiaoqiao's opening ceremony.
He had also heard about what had happened between Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao during this time.
He actually wanted to find another opportunity to fight for himself today.
So when he saw Yang Qiaoqiao leave, he immediately ended his conversation with an industry leader and prepared to chase after her.
He was just a step too late.
Huo Beixiao chased after him before he could.
He looked at Huo Beixiao and Yang Qiaoqiao's hands clasped tightly together, and a bitter smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
One step behind leads to another.
He arrived too late; some people are destined to miss out on this opportunity in their lifetime.
Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao walked into the alley and saw Peng Cuiying indeed acting suspiciously at the entrance of Old Lady Tong's courtyard.
Peng Cuiying didn't do anything else, but instead took a piece of free tea snack she had gotten from their embroidery shop, broke it into pieces, and fed it to a dirty child.
Yang Qiaoqiao's brows furrowed unconsciously.
He spoke in a deep voice, "What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Although Peng Cuiying hasn't done anything yet, Yang Qiaoqiao doesn't trust Peng Cuiying's character.
Just because Peng Cuiying hasn't done anything malicious now doesn't mean she won't do something bad later.
So now that Yang Qiaoqiao had come in, she didn't intend to allow Peng Cuiying to stay there any longer.
Peng Cuiying wasn't surprised at all when she heard her voice.
She suddenly turned her head and knelt down in front of Yang Qiaoqiao with a "thud".
"Qiaoqiao, Mom knows I'm sorry. I've done a lot of things to hurt you, and I don't deserve to be your mother."
But Mom had no other choice but to come to you.
As Peng Cuiying spoke, she pulled Qilin over and knelt down with her.
With tears streaming down his face, he said that Jiang Yongxian was most likely going to be sentenced to death this time, and that he had only left behind Qilin as his bloodline.
However, there was no way she could raise Qilin, because He Nian knew that Qilin was Jiang Yongxian's biological son. After learning about Jiang Yongxian's schemes against her, she went crazy and took her anger out on Qilin.
It took her a lot of effort to get the Qilin out of the He family.
The He family has now sent people to look for them, wanting to capture the Qilin and take it back.
How could an old woman from out of town possibly stand up to the He family?
These past few days she's been hiding with Qilin, and only because she had no other choice did she bring Qilin here, hoping that Yang Qiaoqiao would adopt him, since Qilin is at least her blood-related nephew.
After saying that, Peng Cuiying pulled Qilin and kowtowed to Yang Qiaoqiao together.
Yang Qiaoqiao scrutinized Peng Cuiying and Qilin with an emotionless gaze.
He said, "You don't need to play the victim in front of me. You should know your son better than I do what kind of person he is."
Since he's not going to live, he can't possibly let the He family prosper. No matter how much the He family tries to find you, they'll only be around for a day or two.
Upon hearing Yang Qiaoqiao's words, tears streamed down Peng Cuiying's face.
“Qiaoqiao, I know Yongxian will definitely not let the He family go. But even without the He family, I can’t watch Qilin grow up.”
As she spoke, she glanced at the Qilin with lingering affection and said, "I may have done too many evil deeds, and even God is punishing me."
I have a growth in my stomach, and the doctor said I won't live more than three months.
"Qiaoqiao, it's okay if you don't acknowledge me as your mother. I don't ask anything else of you, I just ask that you give Qilin some food so he can grow up properly, okay?"
