"She just got the counter up and running, and now she has to train someone to take over," Qin Xiaoyu sighed. Sales at the Shanghai counter were booming, and Qin Xiaoye's departure was ill-timed.
“Isn’t Wang Jian great? I think he’s getting more and more capable.” Deng Jianyan now sees Wang Jian as the perfect son-in-law.
“I get so angry just thinking about this. Xiao Jin is about to take the college entrance exam. If she doesn’t get into university, I’ll never forgive you! You’ve been clamoring to come to Shanghai every day, all for Wang Jian!” Zhou Yue said angrily.
“Actually, wife, the kids don’t necessarily have to go to college. It’s good enough for them to live the life they like. Why not let her do fashion design? We only have one woman, so of course she should follow in your footsteps.” Deng Jianyan had probably already guessed that Xiao Jin really wouldn’t pass the exam, so he started trying to persuade her.
“I didn’t bring her this time. She’s angry at home. No wonder she can’t study properly.” Zhou Yue sighed. When she heard that the child wanted to learn fashion design from her, her tone softened. She had to admit that the child did have talent.
A Lei gave Qin Xiaoyu a wink, and she got up and followed him out of the main building.
In his small house, the game consoles were silent, it seemed the owner had grown tired of them.
"Do you remember when you came to propose to me?" A Lei turned around and hugged Qin Xiaoyu.
"Really? I'm proposing? Is that true?" Qin Xiaoyu asked in surprise.
"You still dare to deny it..." A Lei was probably used to Qin Xiaoyu's shamelessness and couldn't do anything about it.
"Why did you call me here?"
“Back in Guangzhou I’ll be surrounded again. I want some time alone with you. Let’s go upstairs, do nothing, just stay with me.” Without another word, A Lei pulled her upstairs.
Qin Xiaoyu hadn't had a moment's peace and quiet these past few days, and she wanted to spend some quiet time alone.
She had never been up to the second floor of this small building before. She unexpectedly discovered a hanging basket on the balcony.
"You still play with this stuff? You're such a girly girl?" Qin Xiaoyu found the design of the hanging basket somewhat familiar, so she sat down on it.
“Last time, at my great-uncle’s house, you sat on this hanging basket and tried to seduce me.” A Lei walked over and trapped her inside, leaving her nowhere to escape.
"I didn't seduce it." Qin Xiaoyu pouted, blinked her big eyes, and suddenly realized something. "You brought it back from Northeast China?"
"Yeah, back then I thought we'd never have another chance. So I brought everything about you back, wanting to preserve it."
"You're so strange. Weren't you going to throw everything away and forget about me?"
"You're such a heartless woman. How could I forget you? I'll keep the pain in my heart." A Lei's cheesy pickup lines were quite charming, and Qin Xiaoyu was a little tipsy.
In comparison, she really didn't give as much as Aredo in this relationship. Was it really that he owed her something, something he had to repay little by little in this lifetime?
Qin Xiaoyu took the initiative to reach out, hook her arm around his neck, and pout her little lips as she leaned in...
When they reappeared on the balcony, it was already late at night, and all was quiet except for the occasional bird talking in its sleep.
Qin Xiaoyu only wrapped herself in a bath towel before running to the balcony to get some fresh air, but was grabbed and pulled back by A Lei.
"Fool, someone will see you."
"How could that be? Look how dark it is on the balcony."
"You really are stupid. From the shadows outside, it's crystal clear." After saying that, A Lei suddenly frowned, as if a figure had flashed by in the bushes outside.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xiaoyu asked anxiously.
"It's alright, we're leaving anyway. I'm afraid Young Master Huo is unwilling to accept losing the publication. If he wants to fight me, I'll play along." A cold smile crept across A Lei's lips.
Qin Xiaoyu felt a strange sense of relief when she thought of Linda.
They're rivals after all; getting hurt is their own fault.
Third Sister also had a lot of fun with Qin Xiaoyu and kept urging that she would take them to the hot springs.
"It's peak tourist season now, your place must be packed, right? Where will you put us if you take us there?"
"Don't worry about that. I've already taken over the nearest place, so you'll have somewhere to stay. I'll take you to the beach to boil eggs, okay?" The third sister began to tempt her younger sister.
"How come I didn't know you could boil eggs on the beach?" Qin Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"You never come out of your room, how would you know?" A Lei realized his mistake and refused to say anything more, turning his face away. Qin Xiaoyu, of course, wouldn't admit that she had asked the wrong question.
The final decision was that the third sister would take her two children to Conghua, while they would settle down in Shamian first.
Qin Xiaoyu was initially worried about her third sister taking care of the two children alone, as she was quite careless. However, she was relieved to hear that her eldest sister and her child were also there.
The eldest sister is incredibly kind-hearted and has a knack for education; she's someone you can trust.
The biggest problem became who Commander Zhou and his wife should live with. Qin Xiaoyu and Zhou Yue both insisted that they settle down with her.
"Mom has been looking after the child all day, so she needs some peace and quiet tonight. Why don't you stay with me?"
"You're the one who wants to be affectionate with Mom when you get home at night. You're selfish."
"You've taken over the whole day, can't I have the night?"
“I’m starting work in a few days, and I won’t have time during the day. You’re being reasonable!” Zhou Yue refused to back down.
“It’s so nice to have two daughters.” Seeing them bickering, Zhou Xing’s mother pursed her lips and sat to the side.
In the end, Qin Xiaoyu managed to drag Zhou Xing's mother over. Zhou Yue had too many children, and Zhou Xing's mother was of an age and shouldn't be too tired. Staying with her would allow her to get a good night's rest.
Because of the significant educational gap between the North and South, A Lei worried that his two children would fall behind and didn't dare let them play too freely. He personally went to pick them up and spent every day with them, helping them with their studies or playing games.
Qin Xiaoyu finally had some free time to focus on her work. After a fashion show, Riyue Apparel quickly made a name for itself, and its reputation spread far and wide.
Riyue Apparel became the first domestic company in China to build its own brand into a major player.
When she returned to the fashion street, people looked at her differently. This little woman was truly a woman of her word; original designs could definitely be successful.
"I have something to tell you, but don't be angry." As soon as Ye Qiu said this, Qin Xiaoyu laughed. Things that started with this sentence never disappointed her, so it would be strange if she wasn't angry.
"Is someone up to something again?"
"It's Zhu Xu. He hates you. He was doing so well with his original work, but you switched it. Now you're thriving, while he's just doing subcontracting. He's so frustrated. Everyone on this street is sick of hearing him complain."
What else could Qin Xiaoyu say? For losers, there will always be excuses to find.
"Boss Qin, please lend us a hand." Qian Beibei was suffering terribly from morning sickness; her nose was red and swollen, and her face looked like a steamed bun. Huo Jinghong had recently gone off somewhere to restock, while she was still diligently managing her shop.
"Beibei, your belly isn't getting any bigger. Are you not eating enough?" Ye Qiu noticed something was wrong with her.
