Chapter 810: Someone Is Following Me Again

Shortly after leaving the master, she felt someone was following her.

Xinyan became vigilant, making a few rounds to shake them off, not wanting to lead them to the shop and cause trouble later.

She had considered directly confronting the person trailing her.

But those people weren’t ordinary; they were very cautious.

Xinyan thought it would be better to return home and discuss this with her dad, since some matters are inconvenient to talk about over the phone.

She now suspected that those tracking her might be sent by the Gu family’s enemies.

Seeing no one behind her, she turned the corner and headed towards the shop.

When she arrived, workers were installing the door; once it’s set up today and the place tidied up, they could stock and open for business.

After doing a round and finding no need for changes, she felt relieved.

She went to the main courtyard alone and took out several seasonal clothes, pants, and shoes from the space. After that, she found Chen Manjuan and asked her to bring all the clothes to the shop tomorrow.

Once the carpenter delivers the clothes racks and display cabinets, they can start stocking up and preparing for opening.

Having arranged this, she thought of visiting the department store to get a piece of cream cake for Granny Zhang.

Only, upon arrival, she ran into Gu Yingying.

Seeing her buy just two small pieces of cream cake, Gu Yingying said, "Xinyan, I didn’t expect to see you here, are you also buying cake?"

Xinyan thought, wasn’t that a rhetorical question: "Yes."

Gu Yingying seemed to find a sense of superiority: "I came to buy cake too, but I have to order in advance because I need a lot."

Xinyan found Gu Yingying quite interesting, always wanting to show off her wealthy demeanor: "Oh, I’ve already bought mine, you should hurry and order your cake, it’s getting late, don’t be short on ingredients."

Though Gu Yingying felt a bit upset hearing this, she knew Xinyan was right, so she reluctantly went in that direction.

Only after taking a few steps did she remember she wasn’t ordering for today, what did today’s ingredients have to do with her?

By the time she realized, looking back, there was no trace of Xinyan.

Uncomfortable, she was annoyed that she had been led on by Han Xinyan, feeling extremely uneasy inside.

Meanwhile, Han Jingchen ran into Zhou Dongping while out on business.

Zhou Dongping appeared quite uneasy when meeting Han Jingchen due to his daughter’s actions before.

He opened his mouth, initially wanting to say ’sorry’ on behalf of his daughter, but Han Jingchen didn’t give him the chance.

He simply nodded at him and then was escorted away by a group of people.

It was only then that he understood, when Su Jingsong warned him earlier, Han Jingchen had likely already given up on him.

After what Jingzhe did targeting the young lady, he completely lost his connection with Han Jingchen. Knowing was one thing, experiencing it personally was another.

This feeling was truly distressing, terribly awful.

Han Jingchen couldn’t care less about Zhou Dongping’s inner turmoil, as he had given him chances before, but he always pretended to be oblivious, so there was nothing to be done.

Now that they dared to reach out to his young lady, he absolutely wouldn’t tolerate it, regardless of others’ thoughts, he wouldn’t be lenient.

As Su Jingsong walked past, he glanced back and thought to himself: "Clearly holding a good hand, yet insisting on playing it to ruins, well, now it’s completely comfortable."

Meanwhile, He Jinxuan was rushing back, unaware of the impending storm he was about to face.
