Chapter 305: The truth is out. (1)
In addition to the performances, every existing member would also receive a gift. New members, too, would receive a small gift. Just like the previous time, anyone who made a purchase at the shop would have the opportunity to enter into a raffle. Someone would occasionally win an electric fan or a kettle. One had even won a bicycle. Even though nobody won the first and special prize just yet, but those that had been won still made the onlookers jealous.
“Mom, that lion dance was so amazing. I want to learn that when I grow up too!” Tianbao was still mesmerized by the lion dance.
JingJing had her mind set on poking a balloon. Shu Yan picked her up and had her poke whichever one she liked. She didn’t win a big prize but got a kettle.
“That isn’t bad. Look, so many others didn’t even win anything. You got one on your first try.” Worried that JingJing would be disappointed, Shu Yan comforted her.
“Mmm.” JingJing was happy with the kettle. She liked it.
Shu Yan watched on for a little while, gave Zhang Huaxiu and heads up and took off with Hu Ruixue.
“What did you mean earlier? What did you mean by ‘that’s nice’.” She felt that there was subtext in what Hu Ruixue had said.
“I mean it’s nice to have a suitor. It looks like you are open to the idea of being with someone else. I don’t know much about Feng Zeyu but he seemed to be someone steady and responsible. It won’t hurt to learn more about him.” Hu Ruixue had no intentional of finding someone else for herself again. But that didn’t mean she wanted Shu Yan to be like her as well.
“He’s a nice guy. But, you know, I am divorced with two children. It’s not that easy. And him? He had his own concerns as well. I don’t know how to put it. One step at a time, I guess.” Shu Yan had been meaning to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Feng Zeyu but he had been busy with someone lately and she hadn’t seen him in a while.
Only those involved really knew what was going on in a relationship. Anyone else could only see what was out front. Not to mention that Hu Ruixue didn’t really know Feng Zeyu well. There was only so much she could opine on it.
Shu Yan was serious when she said she would be hands off on matters with regards to the shop. She had Zhang Huaxiu handled everything. As their company hadn’t been busy lately, Shu Yan went over to Hu Ruixue’s place with her two kids.
Over on the other side, Feng Zeyu was lecturing the two boys who had dropped off the flower baskets.
“Who said to refer to her as sister-in-law?”
“Bother Mao said she’s our sister-in-law,” said the silly-looking one as he scratched his head.
“Don’t listen to him. And don’t refer to her that way next time.” Feng Zeyu went silent for a little bit and asked, hesitantly, “What was her reaction to that?”
“Oh?”
“Nothing. Get out if there’s nothing else.” Feng Zeyu’s ears turned red.
The two nudged each other in private and gestured each other with their look.
Boss was so happy that we’ve referred to her as sister-in-law!
Bother Mao was right. We should refer to her as sister-in-law in the future!
“Stop squinting and winking at each other. Get out.” Feng Zeyu gave the two of them a stare.
“She was surprised at first. Then immediately asked if the flower baskets were from you. Boss, why would she guess that it was you and not someone else? Surely she had some thoughts.”
“There was nothing else.” Feng Zeyu glared at them. “Alright. There is nothing else that I want to say… send Lao Mao in.” Feng Zeyu added after some thoughts.
“What do you need from me? I am a busy man.”
“Don’t tell random things to our subordinates in the future. You know about my current situation. It would affect her negatively.” Feng Zeyu didn’t want Shu Yan’s reputation tainted because of him.
