Chapter 239 Unbelievable
The shop assistant was so startled by Wang Yongzhu’s transformation that he said "please come in," yet he stood in the way, blocking the path.
Song Chongjin’s eyes darkened, and he pulled Wang Yongzhu behind him, saying in a deep voice, "Step aside—"
It was only then that the shop assistant came to his senses, his face flushing with embarrassment, and he quickly apologized, "I’m sorry, very sorry—"
Shopkeeper Wu, hearing the commotion, came over from behind the counter and also paused in surprise upon seeing Wang Yongzhu and Song Chongjin. He then smiled, giving the shop assistant’s shoulder a pat, "Don’t just stand there—move aside—"
Stepping forward, he greeted them with a beaming smile, "So it’s Brother Song and Miss Wang, what rare guests! What rare guests! Please, come inside!"
He also instructed the shop assistant, "Go to the kitchen and order them to cook a few of our specialty dishes. My treat for the two of you!"
The shop assistant hurriedly bowed his head and left.
Only then did Shopkeeper Wu personally lead the two to a quiet spot. "Miss Wang, you’ve changed so much since our last meeting, I almost didn’t dare to recognize you. No wonder my shop assistant was staring in amazement!"
Wang Yongzhu felt pleased upon hearing this. She counted the days and realized, gee, almost three months had already passed.
These days, with so many things happening at home, she hadn’t the mind to care how much she had slimmed down. The bronze mirror in her home was secretly bought by Old Granny Zhang, and it was so blurry that the reflection looked ghostly, not even as clear as looking into a basin of water.
Thus, she hadn’t noticed the changes to her appearance in recent days. Hearing what Shopkeeper Wu had said, some of the displeasure from being assessed by the shop assistant dissipated.
