Chapter 872: Kick the scumbag, peach blossoms bloom 11

Mother Su of course had to seize the opportunity and said directly to Mother Lu: "I will ask our master to come and cancel the engagement. Since Mr. Lu and his sister are in love, let's wish them a happy marriage. This will save her from being schemed against by others after she marries into the Lu family. I'm afraid she will lose her life by then."

After saying that, Su's mother pulled Su Yan away, not giving Lu's mother any chance to save the situation.

Mother Lu knew that she was in the wrong, and after trying to persuade Xue Caiyue to stay again and again in vain, she became extremely angry with her.

She would never agree to let her son marry such a thing.

Xue Caiyue was crying, but unfortunately no one present except Lu Dingjiang showed any sympathy for her.

The next day, the Su family went to the Lu family to cancel the engagement.

Lu's father and mother were still trying their best to keep him, but Lu Dingjiang didn't care. He was originally going to break off the engagement with Su Yan, but things developed faster than he imagined.

Mother Lu wanted Lu Dingjiang to make some promises or say that he would change, but Lu Dingjiang said stubbornly, "Mom and Dad, since the Su family wants to cancel the engagement, then cancel it. Miss Su and I have no feelings for each other. It may be a good thing for everyone if we can still change."

Mother Lu said angrily, "No one gets married without the matchmaker's words and the parents' orders. Who do you want to marry? Is that Xue Caiyue the one you like? Is she worthy of you? I advise you to give up this idea. Before what happened last night, I could have reluctantly agreed to her becoming your concubine. But now, even if she becomes your concubine, I think she is unlucky."

Lu Dingjiang said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, how can you say that about Caiyue? Her father saved Dad's life. We owe her."

Mother Lu screamed, "Her father saved your father's life. We can raise her, give her gold and silver, and ensure that she will be rich and prosperous for the rest of her life. But we can't sacrifice your future. She is not worthy of you. Not only will she not help your career at all, but she will be a burden and a stain on you."

"Mother, she has given me her innocence. Father taught me that one must be upright and responsible for one's actions. I can't abandon her. I have to be responsible for her."

Mother Lu was so angry that her chest hurt. How could she have given birth to such a son?

It’s all Xue Caiyue’s fault. Ever since she came to the Lu family, this son has been just hanging around her all day and completely forgetting about the things he should do.

Although Lu's mother was unwilling, Lu's father was quite supportive of Lu Dingjiang marrying Xue Caiyue. After all, she was the daughter of his benefactor. In order to repay his subordinates who saved her life, he thought that Lu Dingjiang's approach was very good.

Even if the news gets out, the Lu family will still be looked upon with a higher regard, after all, it is done to repay a favor.

Mr. Su was waiting in the living room, waiting for the Lu family to discuss it slowly. No matter what, the engagement was cancelled today.

General Lu came out, looking somewhat apologetic and helpless. Father Su waved his hand and said there was no need to be polite. It was the best as long as everyone could reach an agreement.

The Su family and the Lu family broke off the engagement. The Su family returned the engagement jade pendant given by the Lu family, and the Lu family also returned Su Yan's engagement letter and engagement certificate.

The two families had nothing to do with each other in terms of marriage from then on.

The next day, the news of the Su and Lu families breaking off their engagement spread everywhere, with some families happy and some sad.

Everyone with a discerning eye knew that the reason the Su and Lu families broke off the engagement was because of the Lu family. Privately, everyone also knew that it was because the Su family disliked the unclear relationship between the Lu family's young master and his adopted daughter.

But on the surface, no one said anything. After all, it was not a big deal for men.

Perhaps the only person who was criticized in this incident was the shameless adopted daughter of the Lu family.

Everyone also said that the restaurant business opened by the adopted daughter has been declining recently and is far from being as amazing as it was in the past.

The only thing Xue Caiyue could show off was the Jiangyue Restaurant which she opened, but now the restaurant business has been taken away by the Jixiang Restaurant across the street.

She knew that others looked down on her, and the more so, the more she wanted to make a career and slap those people in the face.

She knew very well that even if she renovated the restaurant now, it would be impossible for the dishes to surpass Jixiang Restaurant, so she might as well change careers and do something else.

In this era, women's pursuit of clothing styles is even crazier than it is now, and people are more receptive to it, so she thinks she can open a clothing store.

There are too many modern popular skirt styles or modified Hanfu styles in her mind, and she doesn't believe that she can't make a name for herself with them.

Xue Caiyue decided to do it. She wanted to convert the restaurant into a clothing store.

After Lu Dingjiang found out, he just said, "I support you in whatever you like to do."

But in his heart, he no longer blindly believed that Xue Caiyue was great at everything she did. Instead, he had a feeling that she would retreat when faced with challenges.

Although the Jixiang Restaurant opposite is powerful, she is not completely helpless and has room for survival. Her dishes still have advantages over other restaurants. Why not try harder and just give up so easily?

Xue Caiyue saw that he had something to say, and roughly knew what he was going to say, so she took the initiative to say: "Brother Lu, I know you feel sorry for me, but the other side is rich and powerful, and now we are at a disadvantage. Even if we continue to compete with them, they have more chefs, and their dishes are more and more distinctive than mine. If we force it, we will still lose money. I still want to pay you back, and I don’t want to keep wasting money like this."

Lu Dingjiang had no choice but to comfort her: "Okay, I support you in whatever you want to do, as long as you think it is right."

"Well, I know that you are the best, Brother Lu. You are the one who understands me the best."

So, Xue Caiyue began to renovate Jiangyue Restaurant, made a new plaque, and rearranged the layout inside.

A month later, Jiangyue Cloth Shop reopened.

I thought that this time, customers would flock to the store and the business would be booming.

Unexpectedly, the customers who came in to see the styles and fabrics left without staying for long.

To put it simply, her cloth shop could not retain customers.

After three days of opening, the number of customers has been decreasing. Business cannot be said to be bleak, but on such a busy and prosperous street, it seems a little disappointing.

Xue Caiyue also thought of many modern sales methods, such as promotion.

As a result, when others saw her promotion, they couldn't help but mutter, "Not only does this cloth shop have fewer things, but the discounts aren't as big as Su Ji Jin Xiu Cloth Shop's. Others offer buy one get one free, but her best discount is only 20% off. It's not generous at all."

Another customer said, "Yes, I heard there's a promotion going on recently where you can get a pillow for free if you buy a four-piece set. It's a pillow filled with real swan feathers."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me spend half a day here in the cloth shop and wasted my time."

"I heard that a new cloth shop opened here and there were discounts. I thought it was Su Ji's branch, but it turned out not to be."

The ladies walked out of Jiangyue Cloth Shop while chatting.

When Xue Caiyue heard about Su Ji Jinxiu Cloth Shop, she had a hunch that this cloth shop was closely related to the Su family.

Driven by curiosity, she secretly went to Su Ji to take a look.

This sight made her quite frightened.

This is because the sales methods and means used by Su Ji are exactly the same as modern big sales promotions.

Everything is clearly marked with a price, and there are membership days and things like that where you can upgrade to a VIP customer if you spend a certain amount of money. And most things come with gifts when you buy them, which include not only their own embroidery but also cosmetics from next door.

She not only saw Su Ji's cloth shop, but also Su Furong's rouge shop next door.

She couldn't help but suspect that this Second Young Master Su had traveled through time like her.

It’s just that the other party is smarter and more capable than her, and has already run his business so successfully.
