Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Not biological?
ng Chuyue headed out today to find a suitable storefront to open a fruit store.
In this era, specialized fruit stores were rare; only fruit stalls existed.
Or grocery stores that also sold fruits.
ng Chuyue wasn’t opening a fruit store to make money.
She just wanted a “job” that would prevent ng Wanhua from forcing her to get married.
Working for others was not a free life.
ng Wanhua could cause a scene, and she would lose her job.
She wasn’t short of money; it was better to be the hidden owner and the apparent employee.
That way, she would never be “fired.”
Besides, buying a storefront or a house now would net huge profits—Hai City real estate would be worth its weight in gold in a few years.
Even if the fruit store didn’t make money, she wouldn’t lose out.
No, with the attraction of the mystical Space fruit to custors, she wouldn’t lose even if she tried.
Compared to the prosperity of the future, Hai City of today didn’t amount to much.
ng Chuyue wasn’t familiar with the area, but she wasn’t afraid at all.
She wandered around a few places and set her sights on a storefront opposite Hai City First High School, just one bus stop away from the Phoenix District.
The entire row consisted of two-section, three-storey new storefronts, except this one which comprised four sections, three floors.
The other storefronts were all open for business, only this one was closed, with a sign saying “This property for sale or rent.”
ng Chuyue walked over to read the details more clearly, which said, “Prospective buyers or renters, please contact the owner of the clothing store to the left”; without hesitation, she turned into the clothing store next door.
After selecting a few outfits for selling fruits in the future, ng Chuyue paid and told the female owner, “I ca after seeing the notice next door.”
The shop owner, Gu Xiaoling, exclaid, “You … are you renting or buying?”
After saying that, she felt her question was pointless; ng Chuyue looked so young, how could she possibly afford a storefront?
Soone like her renting a storefront to start a business made more sense.
ng Chuyue, expressionless, said, “I want to buy.”
“You’re buying it yourself?” Gu Xiaoling widened her eyes.
Could she be one of those won?
No, that couldn’t be right.
Although the girl was beautiful and looked very innocent, and the clothes she just bought were all simple and unadorned, she certainly wasn’t the shaless type.
Seeing Gu Xiaoling’s doubting gaze, ng Chuyue decisively lied, “Not really.
I’m asking for soone else.
Can you handle this matter?
If not, please have soone who can handle it discuss it with .”
Gu Xiaoling looked as if she thought as much, “I doubted it.
Oh, I can’t make this decision.
The landlord is my neighbor.
If you really want to buy it, co over at eight tomorrow morning to discuss it further.”
“Sure.”
The next morning at 8 a.m., ng Chuyue ca promptly and went with the landlord, Sister Huang, to the relevant departnt to finalize the transfer of ownership.
Knowing Sister Huang was selling the house to pay for her husband’s dical treatnt and that the price was really reasonable, ng Chuyue didn’t haggle; she bought the entire four-section, three-storey building for one hundred thousand.
In the future Hai City, such a building would cost at least ten million, but now it was only one hundred thousand.
If not for fear of causing trouble, ng Chuyue would have willingly given the pale and haggard Sister Huang a bit more money.
She couldn’t offer more money, so ng Chuyue gave Sister Huang a bag of Space fruit.
She handed over the renovation details to Brother Yong, recomnded by Sister Huang, and herself stayed in the Phoenix Hotel to keep an eye on ng Wanhua’s family situation.
She didn’t know exactly when ng Wanhua returned, but in the evening, ng Chuyue noticed ng Jingfen standing on the opposite balcony with a silly grin.
Ah, ng Wanhua indeed brought ng Jingfen along.
And ng Wanhua was really good to ng Jingfen.
Not only did she bring food and drinks right to her, but she also often tenderly stroked her head and smiled kindly at her.
In her previous life, she had lived with ng Wanhua for a few weeks and never received such treatnt.
There was no abuse, just that.
ng Wanhua always wore a stern face around her.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to imagine ng Wanhua ever being so warm and gentle.
Could it be, ng Jingfen was ng Wanhua’s biological daughter?
Did ng Wanhua switch her and ng Jingfen at birth?
