Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Qing’s expression became gloomy. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance. Xu Qing turned around in confusion and saw a tall figure in the distance. Xu Qing was too far away, but she felt that that figure seemed a little familiar and wanted to get a clear look. However, the other party had already walked away. Xu Qing’s heart couldn’t help but sink.
Xu Qing didn’t know that after she turned around and gave up, that person suddenly turned back. His handsome face was filled with confusion, and his cold eyes were filled with anxiety. He was looking for something. He felt a familiar gaze in the distance just now! It made him feel flustered and concerned…
Xu Sizhi could clearly sense that Xu Qing had been feeling dejected since she entered the capital, but he couldn’t comfort her. He could only ask, “Sister, what identity are we going to use in the capital?”
Although the capital also had its own factions, there were not many design factions. There were only Babe Sunshine, Golden Jade Hotel, and the liveliest entertainment club, Jiangnan Water Village.
Jiangnan Water Village had belonged to the Dark Night Army from the beginning. In the past two years, under Xu Qing’s remolding, it had become an upscale club for high society.
“Village girl, Xu Qing,” Xu Qing said calmly. She wanted to find out if Qiao Yanhui despised her or not!
Lei Wangshu hugged her sleeping daughter as she said, “In that case, you can stay at my house.”
After Lei Wangshu got a divorce, she moved out of her parents’ home and was living very comfortably now.
Xu Qing thought for a moment and agreed. Xu Sizhi, Xie Pengyang, and the others rented a house next door. After all, Lei Wangshu’s identity was special. If too many men lived there, it would be inconvenient for Lei Wangshu.
This was because Lei Wangshu’s father held a high position in the Supreme Court and had a lot of connections. After Lei Wangshu got divorced, someone wanted to use this opportunity to establish ties with him, so Lei Wangshu chose to live alone.
The Yin family wanted an imperial business position back then, and it wasn’t impossible for the Lei family to give them one. However, Lei Wangshu’s father was an upright person who was dedicated to serving the people and didn’t like to use his power for personal gain. Therefore, the Yin family had no choice but to find someone with a higher official position than the Lei family and in order to get close to that person, they even tried to give Lei Wangshu to a person who had coveted Lei Wangshu for several years…
While the Yin family was still planning this, Lei Wangshu found out. Coupled with the incident of her two children almost dying, she decided to get a divorce.
After staying at Lei Wangshu’s house, Xu Ting and the other children befriended Lei Zhou and his sibling. Lei Zhou was a little introverted because he had been locked up at home by Yin Shaoqing since he was young. Since he had been mentally and physically abused, he had a timid personality. However, Xu Ting and the others were too good at coaxing people, so Lei Zhou was also affected by their friendliness and started to smile more.
Lei Wangshu saw this and was sincerely grateful to Xu Qing. If not for Xu Qing, she wouldn’t have known that his son had suffered all of this. When she was pregnant with Lei Meng’er, Yin Shaoqing had taken Lei Zhou away. He said that he did it for her sake, but when she saw his son again, he had become timid and scrawny.
The Yin family was so ruthless that in order to completely control Lei Wangshu, they used the child as a bargaining chip. The only thing they didn’t expect was Lei Wangshu meeting Xu Qing!
“What are you going to do next?” Lei Wangshu asked. After all, with Qiao Yanhui’s identity, it was impossible for anyone to see him! Xu Qing’s name might not even reach Qiao Yanhui’s ears. Moreover, Qiao Yanhui might not be in the General’s Mansion. Because of his identity, his whereabouts were uncertain. No one dared to ask. If they simply waited, who knew how long they would have to wait.
Xu Qing’s gentle gaze landed on her three children as she said, “Let’s start a candy house.” No matter if she and Qiao Yanhui still had a chance to reconcile in the future, she had to stay in the capital for a period of time. After all, Xu Huai and Xu Zhi were still in school. For them to become officials in the future, she had to understand the capital better.
The capital was where the royal family was located. Any random person could be a big shot. If they hadn’thing, it would be difficult for them to survive here.
Lei Wangshu nodded and couldn’t help but suggest, “Actually, you can also open a branch of the beauty salon here. After all, the capital doesn’t lack rich people! Beauty enhancement is what those rich ladies care about the most.”
Of course, it was the same for the rich ladies in the capital. They were vain and competitive. When they were in Nine Lakes Town, many clients came from the capital. As they were not from the capital, they needed to go back and forth to and from the capital, making those women complain.
If they opened a branch of the beauty salon here, their business would definitely prosper.
