Chapter 898: Regrets of Shopkeeper Qiu

Shu Yu had also brought a gift for Doctor Xu, originally intending to give it to him the next day.

She got off the carriage at the entrance of Liufang Lane and sent the Ding family's coachman back. Then she leisurely walked towards home.

However, as she turned around and took a few steps, someone suddenly darted out in front of her.

Shu Yu reflexively took several steps back and looked closely, only to recognize the person in front of her. "Shopkeeper Qiu?"

She furrowed her brows. "What are you doing here? Do you have something to say to me?"

Shopkeeper Qiu forced a smile and said, "Lady Lu, oh no, I mean, now I should address you as Village Lord Lu. You, um, Lady Lu, why didn't you explain earlier? I misunderstood."

Shu Yu found it amusing. "Why do I have to explain myself to you?"

Shopkeeper Qiu's expression stiffened slightly. He had been waiting in Liufang Lane for quite a while. He couldn't find anyone at the shop earlier since it was closed, so he had to come to the clothing workshop in Liufang Lane.

However, it was clear that Ah Xiang and her mother had already heard about his dissolution of the contract with Yiren Pavilion. As soon as they saw him, they immediately closed the door.

The other neighbors in Liufang Lane mentioned that the Lu family had already gone out in the morning, but no one knew where they had gone.

Shopkeeper Qiu could only continue waiting here until now, when he finally saw someone.

Remembering what his boss had said before leaving, Shopkeeper Qiu forced a smile, adopting a humble posture. "Village Lord Lu, I was ignorant before. If you're willing to reconsider our collaboration, perhaps we can discuss it further. Of course, the purchase price would naturally be lower than before, as the fault lies with us."

Before Shopkeeper Qiu could finish speaking, Shu Yu shook her head and said, "No need. Since we've dissolved the contract, we have no further business with each other. The most important thing in business is integrity. If we say we're not cooperating, then we're not cooperating. I won't change my mind just because you offer a lower price."

Shopkeeper Qiu's smile almost couldn't be maintained. "Village Lord Lu, please reconsider. I can offer you a lower purchase price. Our shop is, after all, the largest fabric store in Jiangyuan County, and our fabrics are of the highest quality."

"No need to consider. No cooperation. I don't want to be lacking in integrity. Goodbye."

Shu Yu didn't want to waste any more time with him and walked past him to leave.

Shopkeeper Qiu instinctively reached out to stop her, but Shu Yu dodged him. "What's the matter, Shopkeeper Qiu? Are you planning to get physical?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare."

He awkwardly withdrew his hand, and only then did Shu Yu stride towards Liufang Lane.

Naturally, Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't give up so easily, but Shu Yu ignored him. Even when he tried to approach her again to stop her, suddenly, someone appeared in front of him.

Shopkeeper Qiu was taken aback, and Shu Yu also paused for a moment before turning her head and realizing that it was Zhao Xi.

With a smirk, Zhao Xi said to her, "You go on ahead. I'll handle things here."

Shu Yu didn't care anymore and went home.

There were only Grandma Lu and a few children at home. The others were all at the clothing workshop.

Shu Yu went to retrieve the gift box but found that two were missing. After a quick count, she had a rough idea. "Did Sister go to visit Miss Wei?"

The old nodded. "The clothing workshop is overcrowded, and there's not enough space. Since your sister came back, she naturally wants to visit her."

Wei Lan was the girl who, like Da Ya, was deceived into a fake marriage.
