Mr. and Mrs. Bai personally escorted the two customers to the door before turning around to greet Bai Yalan and the others. However, when they saw Lu Qing'er, the couple looked at each other tacitly, still smiling and looking the same as before.
Although they didn't know why she came with their daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Bai didn't show any strangeness in front of their daughter's other two colleagues. They warmly invited them to sit on the sofa, and carefully asked them what styles they liked, whether they wanted to buy tops or pants, or just skirts and jackets.
Mother Bai used to be a publicity officer at a textile factory, so she was very knowledgeable when introducing clothing styles.
The two female military doctors listened attentively, their eyes sparkling.
The store also had drinks prepared for the guests as Bai Yalan had suggested earlier. Dad Bai brought each of them a glass. The iced drink had a sweet taste and a light herbal fragrance. It was healthy and thirst-quenching, as well as refreshing and cooling.
Bai Yalan smiled and greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Try it, this is a drink we mix ourselves, clean and hygienic."
Lu Qing'er sat aside, took the drink and said thank you politely, but although Bai's mother was polite, she was not very warm to her.
Outsiders didn't notice anything unusual, but Lu Qing'er knew it very well. She bit the straw and took a sip, feeling a little uncomfortable for a moment, but mostly jealous.
The rent for a small shop like this in the capital city must be quite high. Looking at the interior, every detail is meticulously crafted, exquisitely appointed. Not to mention the dazzling array of unique styles and styles, the purchase price must have been quite high.
Lu Qing'er felt more and more uncomfortable. She glanced at Bai Yalan. Although Bai's father and mother were greeting guests, they looked at their daughter from time to time with such gentle and loving eyes.
Thinking about how she had married Gu Fujun, followed him for thousands of miles, and stayed here alone, her eyes felt sore and she couldn't describe the feeling. She quickly turned her head and pretended to look at someone else so that no one would notice that she was abnormal.
Everyone drank the drink to quench their thirst. Wang Lin and the two female military doctors felt that the drink not only tasted good, but also had a strange smell that made people feel refreshed.
Doctor Wang smiled and said, "I've learned Chinese medicine myself, and on this hot day, even if customers aren't coming for the clothes, it's worth it to sit down and have a drink. This is not only much cleaner and more hygienic than those cheap drinks out there, but it's also quite nourishing. It tastes like there's a lot in it. I think the ingredients are black plums, hawthorn, lotus leaves, and licorice?"
Bai Yalan just pursed her lips and smiled, "They are just some common edible medicinal herbs, not worth much money."
Doctor Lin interrupted, "The items aren't worth much, but you're so thoughtful." He looked around the shop again and exclaimed, "Doctor Bai, I finally understand why your parents put so much thought into this shop. It's not just the clothes that are great, the furnishings are also unique. I bet you put a lot of thought into it."
Bai Yalan just smiled, while Lu Qing'er beside her still turned her head and looked elsewhere, with no expression on her face.
At this time, Mother Bai found a few clothes and came out. They were all in the sizes that Wang Lin and the other female military doctors wanted. Mother Bai asked them to try on the styles of the clothes.
The two female military doctors went to try on clothes happily. While trying them on, Bai's mother recommended several styles based on their styles and tastes.
Seeing them trying on one piece after another, enjoying themselves and being in high spirits, Lu Qing'er couldn't help but be attracted by it. When she saw them walking out of the fitting room, dressed in all kinds of styles, Lu Qing'er couldn't help but be dazzled, and felt both envious and moved.
At this time, Bai Yalan saw that she had been sitting still. Knowing that she wanted to save face and liked to put on airs, she took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Comrade Lu, do you want to give it a try too?"
