Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space

Chapter 850: Chapter 850: Overwhelming Survival Instincts

After a little while, the master and mistress arrived, bringing along their senior students.

After exchanging pleasantries, they explained that they were delayed because they encountered Elder Liang’s grandchildren being chased and couldn’t ignore it.

The mistress apologized, saying, "We hurried over, but we’re still late."

Xinyan replied with a smile, "No worries, I’m just happy you could all come together to support us."

The senior students had taken time off to come; it’s just a small store opening, not a big deal.

Han Jingchen and Gu Wanqing chimed in, "Your presence is the biggest support for her."

Everyone laughed.

Then Xinyan took the master, mistress, and senior students on a quick tour of the store. It was crowded, so they didn’t stay inside long and soon came out.

Everyone showered Xinyan with compliments again.

It made Xinyan a bit embarrassed.

After that, everyone took out red envelopes to give to Xinyan, but she refused, half-jokingly saying, "I appreciate your goodwill, but I can’t accept the envelopes. I might open more stores in the future; it’ll drain you dry."

After some back-and-forth, everyone had no choice but to put away the red envelopes.

What Xinyan said was actually what she felt. With the current uncertainty and exploration in various industries, she wanted to have a transitional period to prepare funds for future business ventures.

Seeing the store bustling and unable to help, the elders considered leaving.

But Xinyan stopped them: "Today is a good day, and you see my small store is doing well. We should raise a glass to celebrate.

You’ve all taken time out of your busy schedules to support me, as a junior, I should show my appreciation."

So Xinyan brought out gifts she had prepared in advance from the back yard: "These are clothes tailored to your sizes. These designs aren’t for sale in the store yet. Thank you all for your support."

Senior Brother Ma Chengxi joked, "Little Junior Sister is so generous; now my wife might be envious."

Xinyan actually prepared quite a few sets, but not for those who didn’t show up; that’s her rule.

Everyone understood Xinyan’s intentions and naturally accepted the gifts happily.

After that, they headed to the restaurant Xinyan had booked earlier in the day.

With Ling Tianze at the store, Xinyan felt reassured.

But when they left, she said someone would deliver lunch to them later.

Xinyan had pre-ordered two tables of dishes at a nearby state-run restaurant, and when they arrived, everything was almost ready.

Gu Wanqing noticed He Jinxuan bustling around and, during the meal, surprisingly used public chopsticks to serve Jinxuan a dish: "You’ve worked hard helping Xinyan these days, eat more to replenish."

He Jinxuan felt a bit overwhelmed but politely thanked her, "It’s my duty, thank you, Aunt."

He actually wanted to call her ’Mom’, but he didn’t dare.

Because his father-in-law was sending chills, battling the dishes before him,

while the little girl beside was gleefully watching.

Just as Gu Wanqing was about to serve more food to He Jinxuan, he eagerly finished his bowl of rice: "You all take your time to eat, I’ll go deliver lunch to the store folks."

As he dashed off, Xinyan burst into laughter.
