Chapter 364 - Tong Jiaxin regretted for the 1,001 times in the dark. (1)
Sun Manrou shook her hands “No, Third Brother. That is wrong! I just want to quietly be fond of Comrade Wan. I was only crying because I was too sad. I wish I had met him sooner.”
Having said that, she covered up her face and started crying again.
Her crying just about broke Sun Wuyang’s heart. “Stop crying, Xiao Rou. I’ve already said that I will help you.”
Sun Manrou shook her head and sent her tears flying. “I can’t let you do that, Third Brother. You will be ostracized if others find out. I can’t possibly do that to you.
“Besides, that would hurt Rugui’s girlfriend. Don’t worry about it. I won’t be getting married in this lifetime. I will be happy with just looking at Comrade Wan from a distance.”
Sun Wuyang was disappointed in her. “Xiao Ruo, you are such a nice person but you are too kind and too timid. I’ve already made up my mind on this. Don’t worry about it. I’ll say it’s my idea if anyone ever finds out. It has nothing to do with you!”
Sun Manrou bit down on her lips. “Third Brother, how can you be so nice to me. Wuwuwuw……”
Sun Wuyang rubbed her on her head. “You little fool, you are my sister. Of course I am nice to you. Don’t worry about a thing. Let me go ask around and find out more about it.”
As the saying goes, keep your friends close; keep your enemies closer.
He knew Wen Rugui well enough. Now all he needed to do was to find out more about his girlfriend.
He would need to learn more about her before he could come up with a plan.
Sun Manrou watched as Sun Wuyang disappeared outside the door before she lifted her head and wiped away her tears. She washed her face before she returned to her office.
Tong Xuelu had no idea about the Sun’s siblings’ plan. She was busy shopping with Secretary Zhuo.
Looking shy, Secretary Zhuo asked Tong Xuelu, “Manager Tong, can you help me put together some outfits. I feel that you look good in everything you wear.”
Tong Xuelu thought to herself, “That’s because I am pretty.” But she smiled and said, “Of course I can. But Secretary Zhuo is so pretty already. The best I can do is to offer you some advice.”
Secretary Zhuo’s cheeks blushed from the complement. Her brows rose. The complements obviously worked wonder on her.
There weren’t a lot of people at the department store as it was not the weekend.
Secretary Zhuo hadn’t had a day off in a long while. As such, she was finally able to get a day off today.
Tong Xuelu had yet to visit the department store since she had transmigrated over. Mainly because she had been busy back then and, now that she was working at the restaurant, she would have to take time off every time she wanted to go somewhere.
And she would have to take a hit to her income every time that happened and that pained her.
Secretary Zhuo was no stranger to the department store. She brought Tong Xuelu with her as she beelined toward the fabric and clothing sections.
The salesperson was obviously familiar with Secretary Zhuo. She smiled as soon as she saw Secretary Zhuo. “You are finally here, Secretary Zhuo. We had just received some new merchandises these last couple of days. I worry that they will be all gone if you don’t come soon!”
Secretary Zhuo’s eyes lit up. “What do you have? Show me. Show me.”
The salesperson quickly brought their newest styles over. There were bell bottom pants and nylon full-length jacket.
Secretary Zhuo was in love with them instantly. “They are so pretty. What do you think about this set, Manager Tong?”
Em, they were alright.
Secretary Zhuo was the petite type. The full-length jacket would make her look even shorter. And then there was that bell bottom pants. Any way she looked it them, they hurt her eyes.
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “Naturally, you look good in anything, Secretary Zhuo but I feel that these are very similar to what you’ve always gotten. Why don’t we try something new this time?”
Having said that, she had the salesperson brought over a short jacket, white shirt, and a pair of black woman’s dress pants.
Secretary Zhuo looked at the clothes and looked hesitant. “I’ve never dressed in styles like this before……”
Tong Xuelu, “That’s exactly why you should give it a try. Remember what Minister Lin had said during our last meeting? That we should not stick with what have always been. We should be open to new ideas. The same applies to how you dress. It will impress many if you go into work in this outfit tomorrow.”
