Chapter 306 - 301: Renting a Shop
Zeng Yueji laughed upon hearing Li Aihua’s words, "That’s good. If there’s nothing else, you should visit her store more often and show more concern, the human heart is made of flesh after all."
Zeng Weiguo also sighed and said, "Yes, visit more often. Although that child’s life is better now, I heard from Juzi that she didn’t have it good growing up in her foster parents’ house, and there are also many issues with her in-laws now."
"What issues with her in-laws..." Now that Li Aihua confirmed that Fang Pingying was her daughter, she instinctively wanted to defend her daughter upon hearing her in-laws were not good, but she stopped mid-sentence, feeling it inappropriate as Fang Pingying hadn’t acknowledged her yet; it was too early to step in.
She gave an embarrassed smile and said to Zeng Yueji, "I’m afraid if I try to get close to her, she might push me away."
Zeng Yueji thought for a moment and suggested, "Then don’t talk about recognizing her at first. Just go to her store as if you’re buying something. You’re a customer after all; she can’t just drive you out."
"That’s a good idea." Zeng Weiguo heard and nodded, "Moreover, Juzi spoke to me yesterday about wanting to open a clothing store with Pingying, asking me to help them find a location. They will likely spend more time together in the future; you can visit Juzi’s store more often too."
Li Aihua felt this was a good idea and immediately nodded, "Alright, I’m going to retire soon, and I have fewer classes at the university. I will frequent Juzi’s store more often, consider it pampering my daughter."
After returning from abroad, Li Aihua was teaching at a famous university in the provincial city and was approaching retirement age.
Zeng Yueji, hearing this, laughed, "Spending time and effort to pamper her is only right. You hardly spent any effort on her in her childhood; now it’s your turn to do so. Otherwise, do you think it’s that easy to have a daughter?"
"That’s true." Everyone said this and all chuckled softly.
