Qiao Wanyue put the candied hawthorn into her mouth, bit off the top sugar ball, and crushed it in one bite. It tasted sweet and sour.
In her memory, she didn't have many opportunities to eat candied hawthorns. Liang Xiu would only buy them for Qiao Shanshan and Qiao Xingwang, and she wouldn't get any. When she was little, she always longed for them and tried every means to lick the stick.
I stopped appreciating it when I grew up.
Upon first tasting it, it was...
Pretty good.
After a long pause, she finally spoke.
"Let's go."
Qiao Wanyue had chartered a small car in advance. She didn't want to waste time; problems that could be solved with money weren't really problems. She had considered buying a car, but private driver's licenses were hard to come by these days.
Qiao Wanyue chose the back seat, leaving the front passenger seat for Wen Gaohan. However, Wen Gaohan opened the car door, waited for her to get in, and then sat down next to her. Seeing Qiao Wanyue's puzzled look, he didn't explain.
"Do you like jewelry?" he asked.
It seemed like they were just casually starting a conversation, but if you looked closely, you could see the tension in his eyes.
Qiao Wanyue said, "It's not a matter of liking or disliking it. It was a gift from my grandmother, so I went to take a look. I can't afford to lose money."
"You have a real talent for business." This was a sincere compliment.
Whether in her dreams or in this life, she saves herself a thousand times over.
Qiao Wanyue smiled and said, "Perhaps, this is talent."
Blood ties cannot be erased; she still carries the blood of Old Madam Liang. As a businesswoman like her, she couldn't be anything less than excellent, after all, she called her "Grandma."
Wen Gaohan didn't dare to look directly at her, his peripheral vision always fixed on her eyes. Her attention was always on the window, and she even answered his questions somewhat absentmindedly.
But Qiao Wanyue noticed Wen Gaohan's burning gaze. She looked away. Wen Gaohan had changed a lot. Although she didn't know what had changed, he seemed to be even more passionate towards her.
That intense, indescribable feeling.
She just felt very awkward.
She's not a child and doesn't need much care. Grandma Wen and Grandpa Wen are old, so she can take care of them. They don't see each other often, but she cares about Wen Gaohan.
She couldn't coax him.
They arrived at the department store quickly. The jewelry store was on the basement floor. Qiao Wanyue had the car waiting at the entrance. The chartered car was always ready to serve customers, and a week's fee had already been paid.
Qiao Wanyue led Wen Gaohan inside, holding the map that Old Madam Liang had prepared for her in advance.
Jewelry store
There were still quite a few customers. When two unfamiliar faces came in, the clerk came over to greet them, "Comrades, what would you like to order?"
Qiao Wanyue, “A gold necklace and bracelet.”
The shop assistant's eyes lit up.
He's a big client.
She led the person to her counter with a smile and made recommendations with all her heart.
"Take it out and try it," Qiao Wanyue said.
The shop assistants were a little reluctant. These items were quite valuable, and it was fine to look at them, but they could only try them on after purchasing them. They had lost a gold bracelet due to their carelessness.
The responsibility hasn't been determined yet, but it's estimated that the store staff will bear the burden.
It's not that she doesn't want to serve customers, but some people have bad intentions and will sneak things into their pockets when the staff is busy. Her monthly salary is only forty yuan, and a gold bracelet costs at least thirty yuan!
She worked for nothing this month.
Qiao Wanyue waited in vain for her to open the cabinet, and sat on the stool watching her with a smile.
Is there some hidden story?
