After saving milfs, they all want to own me-Chapter 157 - 092 Aunt Zhao’s Admiration, Xiao Yan Has Opened a Store! Catherine’s Revenge
Chapter 157: 092 Aunt Zhao’s Admiration, Xiao Yan Has Opened a Store! Catherine’s Revenge
Zhao Shumin was a little dumbfounded.
These people, calling Xiao Yan "boss"?
The store employees were incredibly enthusiastic toward Li Zhiyan.
Because from their perspective, for someone as young as him to own a store already—
it was truly impressive. They figured he must be some kind of rich second generation.
"Hmm, make two strawberry milkshakes."
"Aunt Zhao, order whatever you’d like to drink. You can come here anytime for drinks; they’re all free."
Li Zhiyan’s composure made Zhao Shumin feel utterly incredulous.
Wasn’t Xiao Yan just an ordinary kid? If he was really wealthy, why would he be sharing a rental with her?
"Xiao Yan."
After pulling Li Zhiyan down to sit at a nearby table, Zhao Shumin felt very unsettled.
"Xiao Yan, how are you the boss of this place?"
"Aunt Zhao, when I was in college, I developed a piece of software and sold it recently."
"So I bought this store. This Mixue Ice City was just purchased, too."
Li Zhiyan realized that explaining how he suddenly became wealthy was quite troublesome,
especially since, in Aunt Zhao’s mind, he had always been a broke young man.
The same went for the other Shanghai Three Aunts.
It seemed like he should consider setting up a front company of his own. That way, when the aunts suddenly found out he had money,
it wouldn’t feel so abrupt.
"Xiao Yan, you’re amazing!"
The admiration and awe in Zhao Shumin’s eyes shone brightly as she looked at him. She genuinely felt that his talents were extraordinary.
At 20, most university students were still struggling to find a job, yet Li Zhiyan was already thriving and owned his own store.
"Jobs are so hard to find these days, and yet you already own a Mixue Ice City shop."
"You’re so capable! All that studying you’ve been doing late into the nights really paid off!"
Zhao Shumin’s praise and the admiration in her eyes made Li Zhiyan feel very pleased inside.
In truth, in a certain sense, Zhao Shumin had already accepted him, even though there were still real-world concerns holding her back.
Her heart was weighed down by too many doubts and hesitations.
Men naturally crave the admiration of their women, and Li Zhiyan was no different.
"Aunt Zhao, anytime you want an icy drink from now on, you can drop by here. I’ll tell the staff, so you can always have whatever you like."
"Aunt really feels like she’s benefiting from your success this time."
"But Xiao Yan, next time, could you not ask me to help you with things out in public?"
"If someone finds out, Aunt really wouldn’t be able to face anyone anymore."
Zhao Shumin’s voice was very soft, worried that someone might overhear. She truly wasn’t comfortable with defying societal norms in such an overt way.
"It’s okay, Aunt Zhao. Let’s observe the surroundings and ensure it’s safe before we decide anything."
"Aunt Zhao, you don’t want me to repeat past mistakes, right?"
Actually, Li Zhiyan hadn’t really made those mistakes; it was all just a misunderstanding on Zhao Shumin’s part.
"Alright, Xiao Yan, but just don’t be too reckless."
Soon, a staff member came over, jogging, and handed two icy drinks to Li Zhiyan. The way she looked at him was now quite different.
In her mind, being able to be with a boss like Li Zhiyan—
would mean never worrying about rent or expensive makeup ever again.
"Boss, here are your milkshakes."
"Aunt Zhao, let’s go back now."
"Alright..."
The sparkle in Zhao Shumin’s eyes as she looked at Li Zhiyan grew increasingly radiant.
...
When they got back home, Li Zhiyan saw Zhao Hai’s tattooed girlfriend moving her things out.
There were a few other people helping her move too. Li Zhiyan knew this must have been Aunt Lai’s doing—having her kicked out.
As she left, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as if she didn’t know what was happening.
More than half an hour later, they all left the house.
And now, the rental was left with only Li Zhiyan and Zhao Shumin.
"Aunt Zhao, from now on, it’s just the two of us here."
"Yes, Xiao Yan. Let’s clean up the master bedroom."
"I’ll renovate it later and use it for making clothes."
"Sure, Aunt Zhao."
The two of them spent over twenty minutes tidying up. Afterward, both took turns showering.
When Zhao Shumin came into his room, she started working on her sewing projects. Now that she had orders for custom clothes, she seemed eager to rush to get things done.
"Aunt Zhao, you’re so beautiful."
Seeing the lively and spirited Li Zhiyan gazing at her steadily,
Zhao Shumin couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of anxiety. This kid had way too much energy.
But then again, at his age, it made sense.
"Behave yourself. I helped you out today."
"I know, Aunt Zhao."
"How many custom pieces of clothing have you sold?"
"Ten so far."
"Ten pieces? That’s 8,888 yuan. Aunt Zhao, you really have the potential to become a rich woman. How about trying live streaming?"
"Live streaming while making clothes?"
"Yes, I think it could work. Letting customers watch their dresses being made by hand would give them the feeling they’re getting great value."
"If you’re uncomfortable showing your face,"
"you could wrap some fabric to cover up."
Li Zhiyan knew that Zhao Shumin was very reluctant to showcase her figure online.
"Alright, I’ll give it a try..."
Zhao Shumin thought what Li Zhiyan said made some sense.
"Then I’ll help you set it up, Aunt Zhao. You can go wrap up first."
