Chapter 447 He Was Right
The Shanghai and Hangzhou branches completed decoration, promotion, and stocking in the shortest possible time, and both stores opened on the same day.
The sales clerks of these two stores are all young people recruited locally. After the stores are on track,
Lian Qing and Zhong Yun each brought one person to preside over the work here, while the others returned to Beijing and Tianjin, preparing to make some money before the New Year.
When Lin Qingyan finished all these and returned to Beijing, there were only a few days left before the Chinese New Year.
Although she would appear in warehouses in various cities through the space every day, she did not go home, did not go to the store, and did not communicate with Liu Huizhen and others.
Lin Qingyan was sitting at the dining table eating at this time. After hearing what Liu Huizhen said to her, she looked up at her mother opposite her.
"Mom, did Aunt Lu specifically come to you to talk about the engagement?"
"Yes, I think your Aunt Lu seems to be very anxious. I think if Yizhou comes back later, he might be beaten when he gets home."
"There's no rush for engagement. You can get engaged whenever Yizhou comes back. In fact, it doesn't matter whether you get engaged or not. When the time comes, you can get married directly."
Lin Qingyan didn't care at all. It was just a form, a constraint, but it had no legal effect.
"If you ask me, don't rush the engagement. They are both still young, so why rush? But my girl, you have to get engaged. How can you get married without getting engaged?"
Lin Jianshe finished the dumplings in his mouth and quickly corrected his daughter's thoughts.
"How is she young? I gave birth to Lin Sheng when I was 20. Don't you know how old your daughter is?"
Liu Huizhen looked at her husband with dissatisfaction. Whenever the topic of her daughter getting married came up, he would always come up with all kinds of excuses.
My daughter wasted time working in the countryside and was admitted to university. Otherwise, if she didn't get married at her current age, she would be considered an old maid at home.
Lin Qingyan and Lin Qingxuan looked at each other, looked at their furious mother, silently lowered their heads and hurried to eat. After Liu Huizhen finished her words, she looked at Lin Qingyan.
"Qingyan, go talk to Yizhou's mother tomorrow. I think she is too anxious."
"Okay, Mom. I'll go see Aunt Lu tomorrow and then go to Grandpa Gu's place."
Lin Qingyan is actually busy with the clothing store during the day, and at night, when everyone is asleep, she has to go to the greenhouse to water the vegetables. She is very busy every day.
Fortunately, she usually drinks space water directly, and her physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people. She can be full of energy as long as she sleeps two or three hours a day.
The next day, Lin Qingyan went to Zhaojia Village first, watered all the fruit trees and vegetables in the greenhouse, and then went to find Lu Wan'er. Lu Wan'er had been cleaning up her property and preparing New Year's goods these days.
Lin Qingyan was riding her bicycle and when she was almost at Lu Wan'er's house, she saw Lu Wan'er walking in front of her, struggling to carry two large bags in her hands.
Lin Qingyan hurried forward and parked the bicycle.
"Aunt Lu! Put the things in the car."
Lu Wan'er looked at Lin Qingyan in front of her with a smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Qingyan, you're back!"
Seeing that she was still holding the bag, Lin Qingyan went forward to take the bag from her hand. Lu Wan'er dodged for a moment.
"We'll be home soon. I can carry it."
But as soon as she turned sideways, the bag in her hand fell into Lin Qingyan's hand.
Lin Qingyan quickly picked up both bags and did not put the things on the bicycle. Instead, she walked directly towards Lu Waner's house.
"Aunt Lu, push the bike back."
Lu Wan'er looked at Lin Qingyan who had walked some distance ahead, and her eyes were filled with warmth again.
Among her several good friends, someone once tactfully mentioned Lin Qingyan's low status, and also told her not to be too nice to her daughter-in-law to avoid her being ignored by her in the future, and asked her to be careful, but she retorted on the spot.
If she hadn't known what kind of person Qingyan was, she might have been influenced by these remarks. However, the more she got to know Lin Qingyan, the more she felt that she was a good child.
After arriving home, Lu Wan'er poured a glass of water for Lin Qingyan.
"Have you prepared branches for your clothing store? In which cities will they be opened?"
Lin Qingyan took the water and took a sip. "We decided to open a branch store after the holiday. From planning, preparation to opening, the time is a bit tight.
We finally decided to open a branch in Shanghai and Hangzhou before the end of the year, and then slowly expand to other cities after the new year.”
"Your decision is right. We can't rush these things. We need to choose a good location. In some cities, we need to build good relationships. It's not as simple as opening a store there.
However, if you encounter any difficult problems in the Magic City that you cannot solve, you can tell me or the old man. Yizhou’s second uncle is currently working in the Magic City.”
Lu Wan'er's words surprised Lin Qingyan.
Gu Yizhou did not talk about these things. He just told her that his father worked in another city, his mother was in Beijing, and his brothers and sisters had started their own families and were no longer in Beijing. He did not go into details.
Just like she had never told Gu Yizhou that she had a brother.
Lu Wan'er looked at the puzzled expression on Lin Qingyan's face and asked, "Didn't Yizhou tell you about the Gu family in detail?"
Lin Qingyan smiled and shook her head.
Lu Wan'er held her forehead and sighed. Although she was spoiled and had a willful personality, sometimes she was too lazy to think about problems.
But that doesn't mean she is stupid. If she were really stupid, Mr. Gu would not have let his son marry her.
"Then how did Yizhou introduce our family to you?"
Lin Qingyan thought for a moment, "Yizhou said that grandpa has retired, you are working in Beijing, and uncle is working in another place now.
Yizhou said he has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom are married and working outside.
"Gone?"
Lu Wan'er suddenly felt a headache.
"Gone!"
Lin Qingyan smiled at Lu Wan'er who was holding her forehead.
"Aunt Lu, this is how Yizhou introduced me before we started dating. At the time, I thought our family conditions were similar, so I agreed to date him."
Lu Wan'er also understood Gu Yizhou's meaning at this time. Yizhou was worried that if he said too much, it would put pressure on Qingyan and that she would disagree.
She smiled when she thought of this and gave up the idea of introducing the Gu family in detail.
"Yizhou is right. His grandfather is retired now. Your uncle works in another city. I work in Beijing. Yizhou has a brother who is also married and works in another city with his wife.
Yizhou's two uncles are from two different families. I rarely see them except during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. I'll introduce them to you when I meet them. As for Yizhou's sister..."
Lu Wan'er paused, but still told Lin Qingyan the truth about Gu Qianxue. After listening, Lin Qingyan pondered for a while and said to Lu Wan'er:
"Aunt Lu, as for Sister Qianxue, have you sent anyone to look for her? Do you know where she is?"
When Lu Wan'er mentioned her daughter, her eyes showed both resentment of being a good person and heartache for her daughter who had risked everything on her life.
"I know Yizhou sent people to look for her. Although her grandfather was angry, he also acquiesced to Yizhou's sending people to quietly take care of her not far away."
Lu Wan'er thought of her suffering daughter, and her eyes were filled with pain, but the angry words that Mr. Gu said back then were just to make her compromise. Who knew that Qianxue would rather suffer herself than compromise.
What Lu Wan'er didn't know was that her daughter, whom she held in her hands, was experiencing a life-and-death situation at this moment.
