The next morning, they went out to play again, and Lu Yang took them on a shopping spree, visiting all the major shopping malls.
At first, everything seemed new and exciting to Lu's mother and the others, but after five days of sightseeing, their initial excitement wore off.
Yao Lili took Lu's mother to get her hair permed and changed into a bright red dress. They pulled Lu Yue along and had Lu Xing take pictures of them, while Lu Yang ran to the side to chat with the clothing store owner.
This clothing store is also supplied by Lu Yang, and the two are fairly familiar with each other.
The shop owner pointed to the Qiaoning Clothing Store at the end of the street and said, "Our business is not as good as that store's now!"
Lu Yang had known about this clothing store for a long time, and indeed, he bought more goods than other stores.
He was also curious about what the skilled shop assistant looked like, so he greeted Lu's mother and the others and quickly headed towards Qiaoning Clothing Store.
As he reached the door, he couldn't help but frown, because Lu Qing was inside the clothing store.
She was wearing a beautiful white dress from the clothing store, and a middle-aged woman was chatting with her; the two seemed to be arguing.
In less than ten minutes, the middle-aged woman tried on five dresses and then bought them all in a large bag. The total price of the five dresses was at least 12,000 yuan, which shows that the middle-aged woman was a rich woman.
Lu Yang hid in a corner, wondering how Lu Qing knew this rich woman and how she managed to persuade her to take such good care of her business.
After the rich woman left, Zheng Yuanyuan said with envy, "Xiao Qing, you're amazing! You got Mrs. Qian to buy your stuff so quickly, and she even bought five of them. Do you have any secrets? Can you teach me?"
Lu Qing rolled her eyes inwardly. Teach you? Even if you, an idiot, were taught, you would never learn!
However, she said calmly, "Maybe we just clicked. You saw it yourself, we didn't talk much."
Zheng Yuanyuan was stunned, but upon closer reflection, it seemed to be true.
Every time the wealthy woman came to the store, she seemed to only chat with Lu Qing for a few words before readily buying several pieces of clothing, spending a great deal of money.
Lu Qing now earns four or five thousand yuan a month just from her performance. Zheng Yuanyuan is so jealous that she feels envious, but there is nothing she can do about it.
Lu Yang pondered to himself, feeling that things weren't so simple. He suspected that the rich woman must have known Lu Qing for a long time and was quite familiar with her. She was only here to support Lu Qing's business.
However, there were too few clues, and he couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being.
When he quietly returned to Lu's mother and the others, they were sitting in the shade waiting for Lu Yang to come back.
Upon seeing Lu Yang return, the group immediately suggested going elsewhere for a stroll.
As it was getting dark, Lu Yang suddenly noticed an advertising company nearby. There were two potted plants at the entrance of the company, which looked quite strange.
Lu Yang approached the entrance of the advertising company and found that the billboard above still had random things written on it, such as helping to find lost items and take photos.
He had a gut feeling that there was something wrong with the company, so he told Lu's mother and the others to go back first, while he went into the company.
The company was poorly lit, with no lights on. A scruffy man sat behind his desk, his face covered with a newspaper, motionless, seemingly asleep.
Lu Yang walked to the desk and knocked on it. The man seemed to wake up from a dream, tore off the newspaper, and looked at Lu Yang with sleepy eyes.
"Can you help me investigate someone?"
“She’s an ordinary person, a relative of mine. It seems she’s become someone’s mistress.”
Lu Yang bluntly stated that, based on his experience from his previous life, this guy was most likely a private detective.
The man picked at his eyes and chuckled, saying, "Are you so sure she's someone's mistress?"
Lu Yang took a newspaper out of his bag and placed it in front of him. The man glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow, that's pretty sensational!"
"She has a criminal record, and this isn't the first time she's seduced a married man. How much money do you want?"
Lu Yang didn't want to keep waiting for Li Xingran's news. He also wanted to investigate Lu Qing's current situation himself, as she seemed to be doing very well in Kyoto.
The man looked at the newspaper carefully and said, "Give me a recent front-facing photo of her."
Lu Yang gave the man the negatives of the photos he took of Lu Qing at the hotel, reminding him, "Her name is Lu Qing, and she works at Qiaoning Clothing Store."
The man handed Lu Yang a business card and said, "Pay me a deposit of three hundred yuan first, and then leave me your address. I'll contact you if I get any leads."
Lu Yang quickly wrote down his address in Guangzhou and his home phone number, paid another 300 yuan, and hurriedly left the company.
After staying in Kyoto for nearly half a month, Lu Yang received a reply from Li Xingran. The person in the photo was not Li Xingran's second uncle, but his cousin Li Xun.
This cousin is three years younger than his father. He lost his parents at a young age and lived a difficult life with his grandfather.
His grandfather cared a lot about this nephew, treating him no differently than his own son. Li Xun was very good at reading people's expressions.
He seemed to think that Li Xingran's family could never recover, so he was very eager to curry favor with his grandfather's second wife and her children.
Li Xun had a close relationship with his second uncle and aunt, but he always treated the three of them with indifference.
Lu Yang frowned; this was the worst-case scenario he had feared.
Li Xingran then introduced his second uncle's current workplace and marital status.
His second uncle's wife was his boss's daughter. The pampered daughter was a bit arrogant, but he always appeared to be henpecked and very respectful of his wife.
Lu Yang couldn't help but snort coldly: "This guy should take over Lu Qing's job and become an actor in the film industry. He could definitely become a movie star!"
Li Xingran then changed the subject, saying that Li Xun did military logistics work; although he was based in the civilian sector, he held a military position.
Some time ago, he even went to Li Xingran's school to give her a warning.
But Li Xingran said in his letter that he didn't care what Li Xun said and that he would still study hard and make more contributions.
Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. Li Xun was clearly trying to suppress Li Xingran, but Li Xingran hadn't realized it yet.
He thought for a moment and immediately replied to remind him that he should write to his grandfather and have a chat, and at the same time tell his grandfather that Li Xun had visited him and chatted with him for a while, and that he should tell his grandfather about the content of the chat.
This time, he didn't tell Li Xingran any information. After putting the letter away, he mailed it along with a large package of Kyoto specialties.
After mailing the package, Lu Yang went directly to the advertising company to find Zheng Wei, who had taken 300 yuan from him to help him investigate.
Zheng Wei seemed to have just returned as well, and was squatting inside drinking water.
Upon seeing him enter, she immediately smiled and waved, saying, "I just came back to pick up some things. This girl is going to a hotel with a man later."
"You're absolutely right, she really is someone's mistress."
Lu Yang squinted and said, "Take photos to prove he's having an affair with that mistress, but try not to take photos of my relative's face."
"Then you develop the photos and give them to me, and you don't need to worry about the rest."
