Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Not biological?

Meng Chuyue headed out today to find a suitable storefront to open a fruit store.

In this era, specialized fruit stores were rare; only fruit stalls existed.

Or grocery stores that also sold fruits.

Meng Chuyue wasn’t opening a fruit store to make money.

She just wanted a “job” that would prevent Meng Wanhua from forcing her to get married.

Working for others was not a free life.

Meng Wanhua could cause a scene, and she would lose her job.

She wasn’t short of money; it was better to be the hidden owner and the apparent employee.

That way, she would never be “fired.”

Besides, buying a storefront or a house now would net huge profits—Hai City real estate would be worth its weight in gold in a few years.

Even if the fruit store didn’t make money, she wouldn’t lose out.

No, with the attraction of the mystical Space fruit to customers, she wouldn’t lose even if she tried.

Compared to the prosperity of the future, Hai City of today didn’t amount to much.

Meng Chuyue wasn’t familiar with the area, but she wasn’t afraid at all.

She wandered around a few places and set her sights on a storefront opposite Hai City First High School, just one bus stop away from the Phoenix District.

The entire row consisted of two-section, three-storey new storefronts, except this one which comprised four sections, three floors.

The other storefronts were all open for business, only this one was closed, with a sign saying “This property for sale or rent.”

Meng Chuyue walked over to read the details more clearly, which said, “Prospective buyers or renters, please contact the owner of the clothing store to the left”; without hesitation, she turned into the clothing store next door.

After selecting a few outfits for selling fruits in the future, Meng Chuyue paid and told the female owner, “I came after seeing the notice next door.”

The shop owner, Gu Xiaoling, exclaimed, “You … are you renting or buying?”

After saying that, she felt her question was pointless; Meng Chuyue looked so young, how could she possibly afford a storefront?

Someone like her renting a storefront to start a business made more sense.

Meng Chuyue, expressionless, said, “I want to buy.”

“You’re buying it yourself?” Gu Xiaoling widened her eyes.

Could she be one of those women?

No, that couldn’t be right.

Although the girl was beautiful and looked very innocent, and the clothes she just bought were all simple and unadorned, she certainly wasn’t the shameless type.

Seeing Gu Xiaoling’s doubting gaze, Meng Chuyue decisively lied, “Not really.

I’m asking for someone else.

Can you handle this matter?

If not, please have someone who can handle it discuss it with me.”

Gu Xiaoling looked as if she thought as much, “I doubted it.

Oh, I can’t make this decision.

The landlord is my neighbor.

If you really want to buy it, come over at eight tomorrow morning to discuss it further.”

“Sure.”

The next morning at 8 a.m., Meng Chuyue came promptly and went with the landlord, Sister Huang, to the relevant department to finalize the transfer of ownership.

Knowing Sister Huang was selling the house to pay for her husband’s medical treatment and that the price was really reasonable, Meng Chuyue didn’t haggle; she bought the entire four-section, three-storey building for one hundred thousand.

In the future Hai City, such a building would cost at least ten million, but now it was only one hundred thousand.

If not for fear of causing trouble, Meng Chuyue would have willingly given the pale and haggard Sister Huang a bit more money.

She couldn’t offer more money, so Meng Chuyue gave Sister Huang a bag of Space fruit.

She handed over the renovation details to Brother Yong, recommended by Sister Huang, and herself stayed in the Phoenix Hotel to keep an eye on Meng Wanhua’s family situation.

She didn’t know exactly when Meng Wanhua returned, but in the evening, Meng Chuyue noticed Meng Jingfen standing on the opposite balcony with a silly grin.

Ah, Meng Wanhua indeed brought Meng Jingfen along.

And Meng Wanhua was really good to Meng Jingfen.

Not only did she bring food and drinks right to her, but she also often tenderly stroked her head and smiled kindly at her.

In her previous life, she had lived with Meng Wanhua for a few weeks and never received such treatment.

There was no abuse, just that.

Meng Wanhua always wore a stern face around her.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, it would be hard for her to imagine Meng Wanhua ever being so warm and gentle.

Could it be, Meng Jingfen was Meng Wanhua’s biological daughter?

Did Meng Wanhua switch her and Meng Jingfen at birth?
