Chapter 189: 076: Going to the appointment, shocking! _6

Not long after,

the two arrived at South Street.

The two store managers had already arrived at the store to prepare for the day’s business.

One was named Wang Xiaojuan, and the other was Zheng Fang.

Both were newly hired, with five years of sales experience and loyal users of Beauty Chant, diligent and responsible in their work; hence, Lin Guixiang paid them a monthly salary of nearly ten thousand each.

The ordinary clerks earned five thousand.

When Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang came by, Wang Xiaojuan immediately approached, "Sister Lin, someone’s looking for you."

"Who is it?" Lin Guixiang was very curious.

Wang Xiaojuan said, "It’s an elderly lady, upstairs in the rest area."

An elderly lady?

Lin Guixiang was initially stunned, then said with a smile, "It must be Aunt Jin."

Zhao Cuinong, too, had a good relationship with Grandma Lu, "Aunt Jin is here? I’ll go have a look as well."

The two went upstairs.

Indeed,

it was Grandma Lu who had come.

The old lady was enjoying herself immensely, holding a cup of milk tea in her left hand and a bag of spicy strips in her right, unaware of Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang’s arrival.

Not until Lin Guixiang walked up to her, "Aunt Jin."

Only then did Grandma Lu put down her spicy strips and milk tea, "Guixiang, Cui Nong! It’s been so long!"

"It’s been a long time," Lin Guixiang said with a smile, "Did you just come back from the Capital City?"

"Yes." Grandma Lu picked up the things she brought and said, "This is a speciality from the Capital City that I brought specifically for you two."

Inside were pastries and roast duck.

There were also higher-end donkey-hide gelatin, all in double portions.

"Thank you, Aunt Jin, for thinking of my sister and me even when you’re in the Capital City," said Zhao Cuinong.

Grandma Lu looked at Zhao Cuinong, "How could I not think of you two? To tell you the truth, seeing you is like seeing my own daughters."

Especially Lin Guixiang.

She always felt that Lin Guixiang had an inexplicable affinity for her.

Out of curiosity, Zhao Cuinong asked, "Did your daughter marry far away?"

"No, she didn’t marry far," Grandma Lu’s expression darkened as she spoke, "But even though she didn’t marry far, I can no longer see her."

Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang were both startled.

Could it be...

Something happened to the old lady’s daughter.

Realizing she shouldn’t have brought up the topic, Zhao Cuinong immediately said, "Aunt Jin, I’m sorry, I..."

"It’s okay, it’s been so many years," Grandma Lu said with a slight smile, "Guixiang, Cui Nong, I have a fate with you two, so I’ll tell you my story."

"Sure." Lin Guixiang and Zhao Cuinong sat down next to Grandma Lu.

Grandma Lu continued, "I have a son and a daughter. My son graduated from Capital University, and my daughter graduated from Hesston University abroad."

Hearing this, Zhao Cuinong said in surprise, "Aunt Jin, your children are so outstanding!"

Grandma Lu said with a smile, "Yes, they are both very outstanding, but what’s the use? Rather than being outstanding, I would rather they were just ordinary. My daughter got married at twenty-three, had a child at twenty-four. The year she passed away... her child was not even five years old..."

Nobody expected the ever-optimistic Grandma Lu to have experienced the pain of losing a daughter.

Lin Guixiang held Grandma Lu’s hand, "Aunt Jin, I also lost my parents at a young age. If you don’t mind, you can think of me as your daughter."

Grandma Lu was taken aback, "Guixiang, your parents?"

Lin Guixiang said with a smile, "My parents both died in a car accident."

She spoke about it lightly, but nobody knew how she got through the days after her parents died.

At that time, Lin Guixiang was only eleven or twelve years old.

Her brother and sister were also young...

Zhao Cuinong continued, "My in-laws passed away early, the driver who caused the accident fled, and over the years, my elder sister has been the one to keep the family afloat. She worked to support her brother and sister, to get them through school and university. My sister didn’t have a single day of education, working from dawn till dusk. She’s been both a father and a mother all these years, and it has been a hard-won journey to get to where we are now."

Hearing this, Grandma Lu’s eyes widened. For all the time she had known Lin Guixiang, this was the first time she learned of Lin Guixiang’s story.

She was shocked, feeling the taste of family affection.

She was not a mother,

but she was more grand than a mother.

Who else could sacrifice their own education to help their siblings succeed?

Grandma Lu held Lin Guixiang’s hand, "You truly are a good sister."

Lin Guixiang never saw herself as great and had no regrets, even now, with Lin Guimei as she was, she did not regret her choices back then.

If she could do it all over again, Lin Guixiang would still choose to raise her brother and sister. It was her responsibility.

Lin Guixiang looked at Grandma Lu with a smile, "It’s nothing remarkable, I’m just doing what I should."

Grandma Lu had already liked Lin Guixiang very much, feeling that they were fated, and after hearing this story, her fondness for Lin Guixiang only grew.
