unexpected rain

"Today, the general manager came to inspect the store. Everyone must show the most beautiful smile, the best service, and the best attitude to greet you! You can't make any mistakes!" Before the largest branch of Huafuyuan in Yongshi City opened, the store manager told everyone Employees take serious orders.

"Yes!" The shopping guide ladies replied in unison with a well-trained figure and a straight posture.

The store has changed from being closed to open, and the room is full of neat and exquisite jewelry, just like a treasure trove of a dragon. Every customer is a supreme VIP and enjoys exclusive shopping guide service. As soon as you enter the door, the beautiful shopping guide's pleasant voice and decent Smile is with you.

When Lin came in, what he saw was this orderly and thriving scene.

The store manager, sales manager, and customers came forward to greet them. They visited the showcases one by one, and at the same time reported the business status to Lin Ji in turn.

While they were working, a new customer came in. She was tall and slender, with a noble temperament, and beautiful and charming features.

When Lin turned his head to look, he was attracted by her.

At the same time, my heart skipped a beat, coincidence is really a puzzling thing, Yong City is so big, and it happens that I can meet Xiang Shifang's mother here.

Xiang Qiuyue had heard about this store, and it was said that it was a company that had only gained momentum in the past few years, and she had settled abroad after it went public.

She looked at it casually, and was a little interested in a few pairs of small earrings. She was about to ask the shopping guide to take them out to try, when she looked up, a man was replaced by a beautiful girl.

It looks very familiar, as if he was still lying under his son when I saw it yesterday...

Xiang Qiuyue raised her eyebrows in surprise, "It's you?"

"Hello, Auntie, we meet again." Lin smiled at her with a graceful demeanor.

"Do you work here?" Xiang Qiuyue asked.

She probably regarded Lin Ji as an employee in the store. Lin Ji didn't intend to show his modesty by concealing his social status. He nodded implicitly and said, "Actually, I'm the boss."

Xiang Qiuyue looked at this young man, if someone else said these words, they would always be showing off and proud unconsciously, but when they came out of his mouth, there was a little more confidence in the gentleness, the sparkling peach blossoms Blinking her eyes, Xiang Qiuyue seemed to be able to understand what he meant——

I am also the boss, so I am worthy of your son.

Xiang Qiuyue couldn't help laughing.

Lin Ji took out the pair of earrings she liked, and said, "I haven't formally introduced myself to you yet, my name is Lin Ji."

"Shifang told me." Xiang Qiuyue said, "He said you two have known each other since high school."

"He also talked about high school?" Lin Ji smiled, "When I met him again last year, he didn't even remember that there was someone like me in high school."

Xiang Qiuyue shook her head, "He is not very sophisticated, that is to say, his EQ is low."

She put on an earring, and Lin Ji held up the mirror for her to see at the right time.

"Very beautiful, this size is just right on your earlobe, and it also complements your facial features." Lin Ji said sincerely.

"Then pack it." Xiang Qiuyue said lightly, "Are you free later? Have a cup of coffee with me?"

Lin was about to nod his head in agreement, but another voice came in:

"I thought I was delusional, but it's really you, sister Qiu Yue."

Xiang Qiuyue's originally friendly expression towards Lin Ji immediately turned cold. As expected of Xiang Shifang's mother, once she lowered her face, she could give people invisible and urgent pressure.

Looking at the source of the voice, Lin Zhi was a plump and feminine woman who looked about 40 years old with a sweet smile, but judging from Xiang Qiuyue's reaction, this would not be a simple character.

Xiang Qiuyue casually picked up another earring and put it on to try it on, only treating that person as a stranger.

But the other party did not back down, instead came to her side, took an earring and looked at it, "Sister Qiu Yue also wears earrings? I remember that you used to despise any accessories."

"Who is this?" Lin Ji asked Xiang Qiuyue in a low voice.

Xiang Qiuyue said indifferently: "My ex-husband's lover."

"Ah..." Lin Ji said softly.

"Sister Qiu Yue, why don't you speak?" Zhou Kerong asked softly.

"Now I don't have a husband to snatch from you, so don't call me sister." Xiang Qiuyue signaled Lin Ji to wrap up everything except the one that Zhou Kerong touched.

Zhou Kerong didn't expect her to speak so bluntly in person, her face froze for a moment, and she hurriedly put on a coquettish smile: "Do you still remember those old things? I thought you didn't care at all."

"If you think nausea or nausea is something you care about." Xiang Qiuyue said plainly.

Zhou Kerong clutched her handbag tightly, without changing her smile, "After so many years, you still like to keep people from getting off the stage."

"You are the same as before, insisting on climbing up the stage." Xiang Qiuyue gave her a look of pity.

Zhou Kerong gritted her teeth.

Lin silently watched the invisible fight, and it seemed that Xiang Qiuyue had the upper hand. He was about to hand the wrapped things to Xiang Qiuyue when another person walked in.

"Kerong, why didn't you wait for me and came here by yourself?"

Lin Ji clearly saw Xiang Qiuyue rolling her eyes not very gracefully.

"Husband——" Zhou Kerong's voice was a few degrees sweeter than that of a young girl in her prime. She turned around to meet the visitor, and took his arm affectionately, "I saw Sister Qiu Yue, I thought I was wrong , I didn't expect it to be her."

The person who came was Cheng Pingyi. Although he was over fifty years old, he was well maintained, his figure was not too out of shape, and his facial features were good. He and Zhou Kerong could be called a perfect match.

Zhou Kerong tilted her head and leaned against Cheng Pingyi's shoulder in order to make those four words stand out to the extreme. The nearly fifty-year-old Xiaoniaoyiren is indescribably pretentious in the eyes of discerning people.

Cheng Pingyi saw Xiang Qiuyue at a glance, frowned, and said, "Why are you back?"

Xiang Qiuyue almost couldn't help laughing, "Excuse me, Mr. Cheng, what is your position to ask me this question?"

Cheng Pingyi's face darkened, he stared at Xiang Qiuyue closely, as if he wanted to see through her, this woman is still as mean as before, they once loved each other sincerely, he still remembers this delicate and sharp face, and once smiled Like a flower...

Cheng Pingyi recalled the past, and his expression softened, "You have been abroad all year round, but you suddenly appeared in China, which surprised me a little."

Based on Zhou Kerong's understanding of her husband, she naturally sensed the change in him, panicked and hated, she hurriedly dragged Cheng Pingyi to the counter next to her, and said coquettishly: "Husband, this bracelet is so beautiful, can you buy it for me? "

Cheng Pingyi's eyes are always vaguely looking at his ex-wife, she seems to be thinner and more lovable than before, if she has always been like this, they might not...

"Husband!" Zhou Kerong tugged Cheng Pingyi hard. When they talked about Xiang Qiuyue, they were all in the same hatred, but today when he looked at Xiang Qiuyue, it was clear that the old relationship was rekindled!

"Oh, buy it if you like it." Cheng Pingyi said absently.

"Sorry, the lady's favorite model has already been sold." A gentle voice said.

Cheng Pingyi looked over, it was Lin Ji who was standing behind the counter, he recognized who it was, frowned deeply, and said coldly: "It's you?"

Lin Ji nodded gracefully, asked someone to wrap the bracelet that Zhou Kerong was looking at, and said in a low voice, "It will be charged to my account."

Then he remembered something again, walked out from behind the counter, took out his business card and said politely: "I met Mr. Cheng again, last time it was too sudden, I didn't have time to introduce myself properly."

Cheng Pingyi took the business card and looked at it, Lin Ji, the general manager of Huafuyuan Co., Ltd.

There was astonishment in his eyes, he had always thought that this person was an ordinary student who had been taken care of.

Zhou Kerong also saw the name, and looked at Lin Ji in surprise, "You are the one from Shifang..."

"Shut up!" Cheng Pingyi said.

Zhou Kerong lowered her head angrily.

"Choose what else to buy, I have work to do later." Cheng Pingyi said.

Zhou Kerong had no choice but to symbolically pick out a necklace, but Lin Ji said that it was wrapped up by someone else, and then she saw with her own eyes that the item she was looking for was put in Xiang Qiuyue's hand.

No matter how stupid you are, you can see that this is aimed at!

But she couldn't ask Cheng Pingyi to help him out, after all, this was someone else's territory.

She could only bear it, and left with Cheng Pingyi aggrieved.

"Thank you." Xiang Qiuyue said to Lin Ji.

"It's good that you're not unhappy because of my assertion." Lin Ji said.

"Of course not." Xiang Qiuyue blinked at him, "Very relieved."

Lin also laughed.

Together they headed to the cafe on the top floor of the mall.

"So, you and Cheng Pingyi also had an unpleasant meeting?" Xiang Qiuyue said.

"Yes, so I just vented my anger for myself." Lin pulled out the chair for her, and just pushed it in when she sat down.

Xiang Qiuyue's thoughtfulness to him everywhere is both ironic and a pity.

What a good person, but his son is doomed to be sorry for others.

"Son, you've been living in Yong City?" Xiang Qiuyue talked about other topics.

"Because of work, I currently live in Yongshi, but I used to live in Mianshi." Lin Ji replied.

"Parents are also in Yong City?"

Lin Ji lowered his eyes slightly, "My father passed away when I was 17 years old, and my mother also left home the next year, probably to reunite with my father."

Xiang Qiuyue took a light breath, "I'm sorry, it must have been difficult for you in those years, right?"

"Many years have passed." Lin Ji turned his back lightly, hiding the scarred side of his soul, leaving only the plain and gentle side facing the sun.

"Son, you are very outstanding, and you are no worse than Shi Fang in any other way." Xiang Qiuyue said sincerely, "Strictly speaking, Shi Fang is not good enough for you."

Lin Ji shook his head again and again, "Shifang is very nice, Aunt Xiang, you don't know what I was like before, but because of chasing Shifang, I became what I am now."

Xiang Qiuyue sighed, and said: "You saw it just now, when Shi Fang was young, he was surrounded by such an arrogant and coquettish father, an incompetent mother like me, and a scheming third party. Shaped into a person who is insensitive to feelings, distrusts, and doesn't value, he even regards love as a bargaining chip... Can you understand? He will..."

Lin Ji said frankly: "He will get married, I know."

"Since you know, why don't you stop the loss in time? There are so many people in this world, there must be someone who is more suitable and worthy of you than Shifang."

"But I don't love those people." Lin Ji said softly.
