Chapter 23

“Blood, brother, you are bleeding…” Yuan Qinglian muttered in a daze.

Zhu Guiyun hurried over and looked at the bloody back of Yuan Qingan’s hand with distressed eyes, “What are you doing? You have to hurt yourself like this for no reason!”

“It’s okay.” Yuan Qing’an pushed Zhu Guiyun away expressionlessly and walked into the house.

“What are you making a fuss about? Go back to your in-laws’ house.” Zhu Guiyun angrily directed at Yuan Qinglian, “If you’re so unhappy, just pretend that you don’t have these relatives. The betrothal money they gave you should be considered as severing our relationship.”

Yuan Qinglian looked at her mother in disbelief, never expecting her to say that.

“Okay, I won’t come back to this house anymore, let’s just break up!”

Zhu Guiyun waved her hand impatiently and sent her away, “You’d better do what you said.”

Her chest was heaving violently, and she was obviously very angry. She looked at her son’s closed door with complicated eyes and sighed helplessly. Her life was so difficult!

Ever since the break-up of the engagement, I haven’t seen a smile on my son’s face.

He has a gloomy face all day long, as if someone owes him money.

Zhu Guiyun felt that this couldn’t go on any longer and that she should find a partner for her son.

After all, there is a saying that goes, the best way to let go of a relationship is to start a new one.

I have to let my son start over! Zhu Guiyun is still waiting to hold her grandson!

Yuan Qing’an didn’t know what his mother was planning, and at this moment all he could think about was staying in the military region.

If I retire now, not only will the military district not arrange a job for me, but I won’t even get much retirement pay.

He entered the military district for training at an early age, and now he has retired and knows nothing.

With such a large family to support, Yuan Qing’an felt under tremendous pressure.

His mind was in a mess. Yuan Qing’an raised his hands and rubbed his face vigorously, forcing himself to be more awake.

He is the pillar of the family and must not collapse!

Thinking of this, Yuan Qing’an decided that he must perform well in the next training and try to leave a good impression.

…

Xu family.

Xu Zhihuan decided to open a clothing store.

The store is located in a department store, and the annual rent is a considerable expense.

Xu Zhihuan hesitated for a long time before telling his parents about his idea. After all, he still needed their financial support.

“Is your pocket money running low?” Why did he suddenly think of opening a clothing store? Xu Guoqiang was puzzled, not quite understanding.

He knew his daughter’s personality best. She had no interest in business at all, so why did she suddenly want to open a shop?

“It has nothing to do with pocket money. I just want to do something I like while I’m still young.”

Xu Zhihuan said, “I like wearing beautiful clothes, so I want to open a clothing store. Dad, don’t worry about anything else. I need your investment now.”

“So if you like eating, we have to open a restaurant for you?”

Wang Wanjun smiled faintly, “Doing business is not as simple as you think. It’s not something you can do on impulse.”

“I didn’t make this decision on impulse.” Xu Zhihuan said seriously. Seeing that the two of them didn’t care much, he simply showed them the “store opening information” he had compiled some time ago.

A notebook was filled with dense notes. Xu Guoqiang opened his mouth and said, “You never did your homework this seriously when you were in school…”

“I know you will support me for the rest of my life, but I don’t want you to support me for the rest of my life. I’m an adult with hands and feet and I want to make money on my own.”

Xu Zhihuan sat up and said, “You just need to give me the money. Just think of it as a loan. I will pay you back when the clothing store makes a profit.”

It’s not a matter of money at all. Xu Guoqiang is worried that his daughter might have been upset by something.

He actually hoped that after breaking off the engagement, his daughter could stay at home all day long, eating, drinking and having fun as before.

Xu Guoqiang was extremely worried that his daughter would have to support herself all of a sudden.

Wang Wanjun and Xu Guoqiang have the same concerns.

“or,”

Wang Wanjun glanced at Xu Guoqiang hesitantly and said, “We will support whatever our daughter wants to do.”

Maybe it can divert attention.

Xu Guoqiang nodded stiffly, “Okay, how much money do you want? Daddy will give it to you! It doesn’t matter if I lose it all, as long as I’m happy.”

Seeing how much her parents doted on her, Xu Zhihuan burst into tears as she thought of what they had experienced in their previous life.

“Mom, Dad, you two must be well and stay with me forever. I will make a lot of money in the future and let you live a good life.”

Xu Zhihuan threw herself into Wang Wanjun’s arms and cried sadly.

Wang Wanjun and Xu Guoqiang looked at each other and thought, it’s over, their daughter still can’t forget Yuan Qing’an!

Give me money! I have to give me money! As long as Zhihuan can find something to do to distract himself, that’s fine.

In addition, Xu Guoqiang cursed Yuan Qing’an in his heart.

I originally thought my daughter opened a clothing store just for fun, and no one took it seriously.

Little did people know that Xu Zhihuan’s “Xu Xu Chunfeng” clothing store grew bigger and bigger, established a brand, and even boosted the profits of the clothing factory, successfully becoming a listed company. Of course, this is all a story for later.

Xu Zhihuan knew that everything is difficult at the beginning, and she was stumped by the first step!

The location of a clothing store is very important. It is determined to be in a department store, but not sure where it is.

Xu Zhihuan currently has two options, one is on the east side with particularly good lighting, and the other is on the west side, where guests will go upstairs, so the customer flow is guaranteed.

After much deliberation, Xu Zhihuan decided to open the store in a location with guaranteed customer flow.

After signing a one-year rental contract, the next step is to renovate the store.

Xu Zhihuan wanted to decorate the store completely according to his own ideas, so the progress of opening the store was naturally slower.

Xu Zhihuan is now so busy that he basically has no time to rest. He spends most of the day in the department store supervising the decoration, which makes Wang Wanjun, who has “nothing to do”, feel lonely.

Usually when my daughter is at home, I can chat with her, or we can go shopping or get beauty treatments.

With none of the three of them home, Wang Wanjun was bored every day, wondering if it was time for her to find something to do.

When Wang Wanjun casually mentioned this to Xu Guoqiang, his expression turned strange.

“It’s fine if my daughter wants to open a shop, but if you go out and do some business, those people outside will think that our Xu family is going bankrupt!”

Xu Guoqiang complained.

“Why don’t you arrange a blind date for your son? He’s already so old, and there’s no one suitable around him. When I was his age, I already had a daughter.”

Wang Wanjun was a little worried. “Jinnan finally met someone he liked, but he turned out to be a liar. He told me a while ago that he wanted to go on a blind date, but I was worried that he was just trying to make do.”

“He has no goals. Isn’t it enough as long as we like each other? Jinnan has no objection. The couple will slowly develop feelings for each other as they live together.” Xu Guoqiang felt that his son didn’t need to be too pretentious.

“If that’s what you said, can we also find someone for our daughter? We can just find someone we both think is suitable!”

“Zhihuan is not an option. My daughter should find someone she likes, and most importantly, someone who likes her.” Xu Guoqiang waved his hand to refuse.

Wang Wanjun was speechless. Aren’t daughters and sons the same? She just knew how to treat him specially here!

“Don’t worry about the children’s marriage. Aren’t those things at the factory enough to bother you?”

“Alas, things at the factory are even more annoying to me.” Xu Guoqiang frowned. “The profit from signing contracts has already dropped to the lowest point, and other garment factories are even lower. This is completely losing money to gain publicity!”
