Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The weather was great on the opening day; Ge Minjing had someone calculate the date for Bai Zhenzhu.

Bai Zhenzhu didn't believe in these things at first, but Ge Minjing insisted that the person's calculations were extremely accurate, so Bai Zhenzhu chose this day.

Although it was Monday, there were quite a few people around.

The main reason is that the Yunxiang Clothing store has been under renovation for several months, and anyone passing by Qingfeng Road can see its eye-catching sign from afar.

Knowing it was a clothing store, those fashionable young girls had been waiting for it to open for a long time.

The opening date for Yunxiang Clothing was posted a week ago, so quite a few people came to shop together today.

People who work nearby often come during their lunch break.

Upon entering the store, one's eyes are immediately drawn to the upscale decor and rows of neat and exquisite clothing.

"This store has two floors! How many clothes must it have?"

"I feel that every single one of these clothes is especially beautiful."

"They already have summer clothes."

"These are all the latest styles, right? I like this dress."

The sales clerk, dressed in a uniform, immediately came over to explain:

"All of our clothes at Yunxiang Clothing are shipped directly from major factories in Guangzhou. These styles are also the most popular in the port city. Sizes are all available. Take your time to look around. There is a dressing room there where you can try on clothes if you like."

Aside from needing help finding the right size, the sales staff don't approach customers with excessive enthusiasm, letting them choose for themselves.

With so many styles available, there's bound to be one you'll like.

This model makes many shy girls feel comfortable, which makes them bolder and more willing to carefully choose the styles they like.

The store hired a cashier, and Liu Huiying is the store manager.

Because of the new store opening, Bai Zhenzhu specially transferred staff from her store in Mingzhu Plaza to help out.

There are many salespeople in the store, and each person has a fixed area to be responsible for, both upstairs and downstairs, so everything is in good order.

Ge Minjing, Huo Huaying, and Cui Lan also came to support us in the afternoon.

They were accompanied by their friends from their circle; a group of women drove several cars and went into the store to buy a lot of things.

Bai Zhenzhu and Liu Huiying personally accompanied them, and each person selected several outfits for spring and summer.

When the bill was finally tallied, everyone had spent several thousand dollars.

Bai Zhenzhu specially booked several tables at a nearby restaurant to entertain her friends who came to support her.

Cui Lan invited all the wealthy women she brought along, which made Cui Lan feel proud.

After the meal, everyone stayed together and chatted.

Cui Lan went abroad with Ge Zehua during the Chinese New Year and was deeply impressed by how wealthy people abroad knew how to enjoy life.

Bai Zhenzhu suddenly remembered the coffee shop and said to Cui Lan:

“Sister-in-law, you could also open a coffee shop. You can have afternoon tea with everyone whenever you want, and you’ll have a place to gather.”

Cui Lan was taken aback.

She had been to afternoon tea, but never thought she would open her own coffee shop.

Not only her, but her friends hadn't thought of it either.

But after hearing what Bai Zhenzhu said, Cui Lan was actually a little tempted.

"Won't Pearl fail if it opens in Chengdu?"

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Why don't you ask your older brother to set up a shop for you and open it for fun? You can get coffee machines in Hong Kong, but it's not easy to find baristas. However, it's not hard to learn."

Cui Lan was still hesitant:

"We don't have a pastry chef yet."

Bai Zhenzhu: "Then let's skip the desserts and just sell coffee."

As she spoke, inspiration struck for the white pearl:

"Or instead of opening a coffee shop, open a teahouse. There are many teahouses in Chengdu, but not many high-end ones."

Cui Lan's eyes flickered, and she slowly nodded:

"A teahouse is worth considering, as is a coffee shop that only sells coffee."

I'll think about it carefully later.

Cui Lan hasn't done much work in recent years; she's become lazy.

But she's still quite young, and it's not very interesting for her to just stay idle. Opening a high-end teahouse might actually help her husband's business.

The more Cui Lan thought about it, the more she felt that this was something she could do.

Her friends also encouraged her to open a teahouse, where they could gather together to drink tea and play cards in their spare time—how wonderful!

As for coffee, they weren't very interested.

Huo Zheng stayed for a long time as well.

Huo Huaying looked at him suspiciously:

"Aren't you busy today?"

Huo Zheng's serious face:

"It's alright. I was thinking of picking out a few outfits for you and Mom. You've already bought so many, so I don't need to buy any more, right?"

Huo Huaying waved his hand:

"Don't buy it anymore, buy it next time."

Huo Zheng felt a little awkward sitting among a group of women. Thinking that there was no one in the shop who needed his help, he got up and left.

Huo Huaying watched his departing figure, her eyes filled with suspicion.

She tugged at Zhong Ting's sleeve:

"Tingting, did anything interesting happen during your trip to Hong Kong?"

Zhong Ting shook her head:

“I’ve already told you all that. It’s just the same routine: shopping, eating out, and visiting factories and subsidiaries with my brother.”

Huo Huaying remembered something:

"Didn't you take a lot of photos? Have they been developed yet?"

Zhong Ting: "They should be washed out by now. I haven't gone to get them yet. Perfect timing, I'll go get them later."

He then said to Bai Zhenzhu:

"Sister Bai, I'll go get the photos later and give you a copy."

The film from both cameras was developed together, Bai Zhenzhu said:

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Seeing that it was getting late, Cui Lan and the others dispersed.

Bai Zhenzhu returned to the shop, while Zhong Ting and Huo Huaying went together to retrieve the photos.

Upon receiving the photos, Huo Huaying couldn't wait to flip through them.

I searched and searched but couldn't find any individual photos of Huo Zheng and Bai Zhenzhu together, only a few photos of them together.

She looked at those group photos for a long time, but couldn't see anything suspicious.

Huo Huaying knew that Zhong Ting was much slower than usual when it came to relationships, but he didn't want to ask her directly. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Tingting, your brother said he has someone he likes. Have you noticed anyone suspicious?"

Zhong Ting was taken aback:

"My brother, that old iron tree, is actually going to bloom again?"

Huo Huaying said irritably:

"The key point is what comes next. Your aunt and I questioned him for a long time, but he still wouldn't say who it was. Think carefully about whether there are any suspicious girls around him."

Zhong Ting shook her head:

"No."

He then asked sincerely:

"My brother really said he has someone he likes? Is he sure it's a girl?"

Huo Huaying glared at her, annoyed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If it's not a woman, it could be a man!"

Zhong Ting scoffed:

“He and Jian Shuhang are so close, they’re like brothers, and neither of them has ever had a girlfriend. I’ve always suspected there’s something going on between them.”

Huo Huaying: "..."

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jian Shuhang.

"Tingting, Shuhang also has a girl he likes, but that girl is too single-minded to realize it."

Zhong Ting was taken aback:

"Jian Shuhang has someone he likes? Who is it?"

Huo Huaying looked at her and remained silent for a moment:

"Go ask him yourself."

She glanced at the photo in her hand; it was a picture of Jian Shuhang and Zhong Ting together.

Zhong Ting used her finger to lift Jian Shuhang's chin and smiled at the camera in a very irritating way.

Jian Shuhang looked at her with a doting expression.

This overflowing emotion is unfortunately invisible to some people.

Huo Huaying slammed the photo into Zhong Ting's hand and sighed:

"It's great to be young!"
