She stood in front of the mirror, looking at the well-fitting cheongsam on her body with great satisfaction.

He Miaoran was lying on the door of the fitting room and could hear all the noise outside.

At this time, the shopping guide who had just followed her knocked on the door and asked, "Miss, are you okay?"

He Miaoran took a few deep breaths and replied loudly to the outside: "I'll be dressed soon."

There were not many people in the fitting room, only Shu Manlan and a few other customers.

Shu Manlan suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from a fitting room, and she looked in the direction of the voice with some confusion.

When she saw a woman in a red dress coming out, her face was full of surprise.

She recognized the woman because she was wearing a red dress when she persuaded her son to meet her for the first time.

It is very similar to the current situation.

Shu Manlan was slightly excited and stared at the woman intently.

After He Miaoran came out of the fitting room, she did not look at other people, but looked in front of the mirror first. She found that Shu Manlan was looking at her in the mirror.

The salesperson behind her kept complimenting the person in the mirror, "Miss, your skin is so white, it suits this skirt very well."

He Miaoran smiled slightly, turned her head and said to the shopping guide next to her: "Thank you for your compliment, I like this skirt very much."

Shu Manlan walked closer and saw the slight smile on He Miaoran's face, and naturally heard her subsequent conversation with the shopping guide.

After hearing He Miaoran's well-educated response, the shopping guide looked at her enviously and said, "Miss, you are so beautiful and capable, your boyfriend must like you very much, right?"

He Miaoran saw Shu Manlan's actions in the mirror. She lowered her head shyly and smiled, saying, "Sorry, I don't have a boyfriend."

She seemed to remember something and jokingly said to the salesperson, "I do have an ex-husband."

The salesperson reacted and quickly bowed her head to apologize: "I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to violate your privacy!"

Shu Manlan, who was not far behind, naturally heard it all clearly. She never expected that she would have the chance to meet He Miaoran again so many years after that incident.

He Miaoran pretended to be understanding and patted her shoulder, saying comfortingly, "I'm fine. Please pack this skirt for me."

After saying that, she turned around to retrieve her bag, then her eyes met a figure, her steps paused, and the smile on her face froze.

Shu Manlan's eyes were slightly moist. She looked at the person she hadn't seen for a long time and said excitedly, "Miao Ran..."

He Miaoran's eyes met Shu Manlan's. Her emotions were immediately affected. Her eyes turned red and she shouted, "Mom..."

She suddenly realized that this address was wrong, and quickly changed her words to "Auntie."

At the same time, she quickly restrained the expression on her face, regained her calmness and indifference, and looked at Shu Manlan with a slight smile, as if she was just meeting an elder who treated her well.

Shu Manlan's mood gradually calmed down. She walked over, eagerly grabbed He Miaoran's hand, and asked, "Are you here shopping too?"

He Miaoran pulled back her hand, dodged her gaze for a few times, and responded with a smile: "Yes, it's such a coincidence that I can see my aunt again."

Shu Manlan was a little disappointed with He Miaoran's reaction, but she smiled again. Seeing the red dress she was wearing, she praised with satisfaction, "Miaoran is still as beautiful as before."

When He Miaoran was praised by her favorite elder, a shy smile appeared on her face.

She looked it up and down, then said to the shopping guide beside He Miaoran: "Pack this skirt for me."

He Miaoran quickly stopped him and said, "How can I let Auntie spend money? I can pay for it myself..."

She pulled the salesperson to her side, but was stopped by Shu Manlan, "Just consider it a meeting gift from your aunt."

He Miaoran looked unnatural, pretending to be hesitant: "How can I... do this..."

Shu Manlan patted her hands and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's only right for me to give you a gift."

Moreover, she suggested with concern: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you accompany Auntie for a walk?"

He Miaoran hesitated for a few seconds and finally nodded in agreement.

Everyone in the fitting room was stunned. Who would have thought that this young woman had such a deep connection with the boss lady of the Fu Group.

Shu Manlan happily pulled He Miaoran out of the clothing area on the fifth floor and came to a dessert shop.

Shu Manlan looked at the more mature-dressed woman sitting opposite her and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Miao Ran, when did you come back?"

He Miaoran took a sip of coffee and said, "I just returned to China half a year ago."

Shu Manlan saw the gloomy look on her face and asked with concern: "Child, have you been doing well these years?"

He Miaoran smiled bitterly and said, "It's not bad. The salary is enough for me to spend alone. I don't spend too much on food and clothing."

When Shu Manlan heard her mention "being alone", she suddenly remembered something from the past, her eyes slightly reddened, and she nodded and said, "That's good, that's good..."

Suddenly, He Miaoran's eyes became moist. She lowered her head and held the coffee cup with both hands to keep warm. "Auntie, I'm sorry..."

"If it weren't for my carelessness, something like this wouldn't have happened back then..." He Miaoran's voice trembled and she covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud.

Shu Manlan quickly took out a tissue, handed it to her, shook her hand, and comforted her: "Silly child, Auntie doesn't blame you. Our Fu family is also responsible for what happened back then. It's not all your fault."

As she spoke, Shu Manlan also became emotional and kept blaming herself: "In fact, it's all my fault. If I hadn't forced Yiming to marry you, you wouldn't have ended up like that. Alas, it's all the sin of an old woman like me..."

He Miaoran stood up, went over to hug Shu Manlan and said, "Auntie, don't be like this. We can't change the facts. We should all look forward."

Shu Manlan held her hand tightly and kept saying, "Good child, good child..."

She sighed and begged, "Miao Ran, why don't you come home for dinner tonight and keep an old lady like me company."

He Miaoran hesitated, and Shu Manlan knew what she was worried about, so she said, "You can't avoid it after all, let's all meet each other, after all, you've been back for so long."

Finally, Shu Manlan convinced He Miaoran.

Her emotions came and went quickly. She happily took He Miaoran to the supermarket to buy some ingredients that He Miaoran liked to eat.

He Miaoran pushed the shopping cart and walked behind Shu Manlan, with a smile on her lips intentionally or unintentionally.
