Chapter 1973 80s 22

Yuan Qing went to Su Yan's clothing store every time, but unfortunately, she never ran into her.

Over the years, Su Yan has opened more and more shops and hired dedicated people to manage them. She doesn't need to go to the shops often; she only needs to check on them occasionally.

In the "super-rich" mode, opening a shop is purely to prove that she can make money, so as not to arouse suspicion.

Yuan Qing was very busy, and the few times she went to Su Yan's shop, she was always disappointed.

This time, Yuan Qing was riding in Lin Honglin's car when they passed by Su Yan's shop, and he habitually glanced inside.

"parking!"

Lin Honglin thought he had discovered something important, so he quickly stepped on the brakes.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, Yuan Qing had already opened the door, gotten out, and run towards Su Yan's shop.

Lin Honglin was completely confused, but his keen intuition told him to hurry up and catch up. When he rushed over, he found that Yuan Qing was stopping a woman and asking her questions.

"I've finally met you! Su Yan, did you know that there was a talisman in the two yuan you returned to me back then?"

Su Yan smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? I don't remember."

"How could I not remember? Do you know what that talisman is used for?"

Su Yan shook his head.

Lin Honglin, standing to the side, found her increasingly familiar. After racking his brains for two minutes, he exclaimed in surprise, "Su Yan! You're Su Yan?"

Yuan Qing looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "You know Su Yan too?"

Lin Honglin didn't answer him, but instead asked Su Yan, "You own this shop. Have you been in Beijing all these years? Where is your fiancé?"

Su Yan looked at the two of them and smiled, "What a coincidence today. I broke off my engagement with my fiancé a long time ago. Commander Yuan should know this person too, he is Wu Jianguo."

"What? Wu Jianguo is your fiancé!" Yuan Qing was shocked. She never expected that Su Yan was actually Wu Jianguo's fiancé from the countryside.

When he first heard it from others, he thought that Wu Jianguo had nothing in common with her, that he disliked her for being uncultured and unsophisticated, and that he broke off the engagement because he was unhappy with the arranged marriage.

Seeing Su Yan's noble demeanor now, he even doubted whether Wu Jianguo had lost his mind back then.

Or perhaps he's blind; otherwise, how could he possibly break off his engagement with such a beautiful and capable fiancée?

Lin Honglin had previously suspected Su Yan, but now that he learned she was Wu Jianguo's fiancée, his feelings were complicated.

She's quite inspiring; a girl from the countryside came to the capital to start her own business, opening a shop in this expensive place, and it seems like the business is doing pretty well.

"You two know each other?" Yuan Qing looked at Lin Honglin with some surprise.

Lin Honglin nodded and recounted how Su Yan had saved his younger brother, Lin Fei.

"So it was she who saved your brother."

For a moment, Yuan Qing and Lin Honglin felt a bit complicated. They felt that Su Yan was too mysterious and there were too many things about her that aroused their curiosity.

They couldn't quite figure out Su Yan. How could a country girl with no relatives or friends here have such great abilities, escaping from human traffickers and opening a shop in the capital with such a thriving business?

Unfortunately, the two had tasks to complete and didn't have time to ask further questions. They agreed to meet again at a later time and then left in a hurry.

After the two returned from their mission, they invited Su Yan out for dinner.

Su Yan accepted the invitation without hesitation or hiding.

They sat in a private room at the state-run restaurant. Yuan Qing wanted to ask about the talisman, but Lin Honglin was more direct. He smiled and said, "You have no relatives or friends here, and Lin Fei was quite worried about you. I didn't expect you to be doing so well. Where did you get the capital to open the shop in the first place?"

Su Yan thought to herself that they had come to question her. She didn't hide anything and told the truth: "When Wu Jianguo broke off our engagement, he compensated me with a thousand yuan. That's my capital."

Yuan Qing was somewhat surprised that Wu Jianguo had actually compensated her with 1,000 yuan.

Even for people nowadays, a thousand yuan is not a small amount. Nowadays, the average worker's salary is between 60 and 80 yuan a month, so a thousand yuan is basically a year and a half's salary for them.

However, compared to his current business, this thousand yuan is nothing.

"Do you own your shop by yourself?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just think you're really amazing, managing to run a shop all by yourself."

"Well, it's alright. Doing business is actually quite simple in this day and age."

Simple?

The two men felt incredibly conflicted upon hearing her words.

They didn't find it simple, which only shows that she was born to do business.

Yuan Qing hesitated for a moment before asking about the talisman.

Su Yan said with a very sincere expression, "I really don't remember. To be honest, I have quite a lot of talismans, all of which I obtained secretly. Maybe I accidentally slipped one in without even realizing it. In any case, these talismans are definitely good ones that I obtained, and there's no harm in carrying them."

Seeing that Yuan Qing couldn't get any information out of him, and Lin Honglin couldn't think of anything suspicious for the time being, the three of them started talking about other things.

But Su Yan just felt out of place to them.

Her background doesn't match what she has now.

It's not that I look down on her, it's just that I feel she got everything too easily.
