The comeback begins in a courtyard house

Now that he was here, Wei Yifeng wanted to see what Chen Xueru looked like after her injury. In addition, this was also an opportunity to get to know Chen Xueru. Only by getting to know her a few more times could he have a reason to give her the Jade Skin Cream.

I can't just suddenly walk up to her and say, "Your face is like this because of me. I feel so bad, so I brought you this scar removal medicine."

If I said that, Chen Xueru would definitely think I was mentally ill.

"Hello comrade, what would you like to buy?"

When the sales clerk saw a boy and a little girl walk into the shop, she didn't pay much attention. She just assumed that the older brother had brought his younger sister to play. Judging from their clothes and appearance, they didn't seem to be children from a wealthy family. Why would they come here to buy silk products? However, there was no business in the shop at the moment, and since she was just killing time, the sales clerk still asked with a smile.

"Do you have any clothes that my sister can wear?"

Wei Yifeng didn't understand these things either, especially when he saw that most of the clothes hanging on the wall were cheongsams and the like, he asked a question with slight disappointment.

"Comrade! We do have cotton-padded jackets and coats suitable for your sister in our store, but the fabric is silk, so the price..."

Hearing that there were suitable clothes, Wei Yifeng, who was not short of money, directly asked the salesperson to bring him a set of cotton-padded clothes.

I must say, the price is a bit high, but the workmanship and quality are absolutely top-notch. You get what you pay for here.

Looking at He Yushui wrapped in a red cotton coat, Wei Yifeng nodded in satisfaction. If He Yushui weren't so thin, she would look like a doll from a New Year's painting.

"This will do! Comrades, besides silk, don't you have any other fabrics here?"

Wei Yifeng originally wanted to buy He Yushui a coat, otherwise this silk cotton coat would definitely not be durable and might tear at any time.

"Excuse me, comrade, this is a silk shop. We don't have clothes made of other fabrics. Did we perhaps have them added somewhere?"

Before the sales clerk could even speak, a voice came from behind him. Wei Yifeng hurriedly turned around, and when he saw the person behind him, he couldn't help but gasp.

Behind him stood a woman in her thirties with a graceful figure, but a long scar on her cheek resembled a centipede, giving people a chilling feeling.

"what!"

He Yushui also turned her head to take a look, and when she saw the scar on the man's face, she was so frightened that she screamed.

"I'm sorry! I scared your little sister. My name is Chen Xueru, and I'm the owner of this silk shop. Xiaoli gave them a discount when she was settling the bill. I just scared this little girl."

Seeing He Yushui scream in fright, Chen Xueru subconsciously touched the scar on her face, a faint sadness flashing in her eyes, but she quickly recovered and looked Wei Yifeng up and down.

"Hello Mr. Chen, have we met before? I can't remember right now!"

Seeing the way Chen Xueru was staring at him, Wei Yifeng didn't believe she could recognize him, especially since he had put on makeup at the time.

"I remember now, we met at Xu Huizhen's bar a while ago. Although your outfit is different today, I won't mistake you. Thank you for saving me last time. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died at Teacher Zhang's hands..."

Chen Xueru stared at Wei Yifeng for a long time, scrutinizing him from head to toe. Suddenly, she stepped forward excitedly, grabbed Wei Yifeng's hand, and expressed her gratitude.

After waking up in the hospital, she wanted to see the person who saved her, but the police told her that the person had already left. Later, she went to the police station and the municipal bureau to inquire, but the final result was that the person's identity was somewhat special and could not be made public to avoid being retaliated against by bad guys.

Although she didn't get what she wanted from the police, Chen Xueru wasn't discouraged. She believed that as long as that person was still in Beijing, there would be a chance to meet him again. Chen Xueru had a special skill, or rather, a natural talent: she could remember almost everyone she came into contact with, especially those she remembered with care.

She was originally in the backyard today, thinking that the New Year was coming soon and the shop assistants should be given a holiday, so she came to the front. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the shop, she saw a figure that looked very similar to her memory.

Although he is much younger now than last time, Chen Xueru is still very confident in her judgment.

"Uh! How did you recognize me? I'm so sorry! If I had acted sooner, your face might be..."

Now that he had been recognized, Wei Yifeng stopped trying to hide it, and a look of guilt flashed across his face.

"Oh! It's just a physical appearance. This is good. It saves me a lot of trouble, and I can focus on running this silk shop. Besides, how can this be blamed on you? I should thank you for saving my life. I should have come to thank you a long time ago, but I couldn't find your contact information, so I delayed. Now, this is your sister, right? Xiaoli, quickly wrap up the clothes. Consider it my New Year's gift to your little sister."

Chen Xueru said something in a nonchalant manner, then gestured to the sales clerk to wrap up the cotton coat, and also asked the sales clerk to find a few suitable coats for He Yushui.

"Boss Chen! I can accept your gratitude, but I can't take these clothes for free. If you don't want the money, then we won't take them."

Looking at the clothes that the sales clerk was packing up, Wei Yifeng directly refused Chen Xueru's offer.

Wei Yifeng felt bad that the other person's face was injured because of him, and now she had to give him something to thank him.

"Since you're younger than me, I won't call you 'benefactor' anymore. From now on, let's call each other brother and sister. What's wrong with an older sister giving her younger siblings a New Year's gift? Do you look down on me and think this scar on my face is affecting your mood? If so, then give me the money!"

Chen Xueru used a feigned retreat to advance, directly using the scars on her face to her advantage, leaving Wei Yifeng speechless for a moment.

Although Chen Xueru seemed carefree and didn't care about the scars on her face, Wei Yifeng could still feel her sadness and helplessness from her eyes. In the end, Wei Yifeng could only accept Chen Xueru's kindness.

"That's right. Little brother, how old are you this year? Judging from your clothes, you're already working. Come on, let me take your measurements. I'll buy you a set of clothes."

Seeing that Wei Yifeng accepted her thanks, Chen Xueru immediately smiled brightly, but because of the scar, her smile looked somewhat frightening.

"Boss Chen... Sister Xueru, I don't need to wear these clothes. As a steel mill worker, it would be a waste for me to wear such clothes. My sister and I are going to buy New Year's goods, so I won't take up any more of your time."

Seeing Chen Xueru take out a ruler to measure her size, Wei Yifeng hurriedly smiled and refused.

"I knew people would hate this scar on my face. You can go now. I'll make a banner and send it to the steel mill in a few days to thank you for saving my life. With the way I look now, no one will want to talk to me."

Chen Xueru threw the ruler on the counter with a resentful look, her eyes filled with disappointment in life.

For a moment, Wei Yifeng didn't know what to say. In his previous life, he had dedicated everything to scientific research and was still single in his forties. In this life, he was just a fifteen-year-old child. Facing Chen Xueru's resentful gaze, Wei Yifeng couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The charm of a young woman was too great, especially a young woman with a hint of tea. No wonder Prime Minister Cao was so good at this.

"Sister Xue Ru, you've misunderstood. I... I just felt it was a waste for a rough guy like me to wear silk. Please don't overthink it. Science and technology are developing rapidly. I've heard that there are scar removal drugs in foreign countries. Maybe our country will have them someday."

"Hehehe! I was just kidding. Who says workers can't wear silk? Even if they don't wear silk coats, it's okay to make a couple of sets of pajamas. Silk pajamas are very comfortable to wear."

As she spoke, Chen Xueru took Wei Yifeng's arm and led him inside, where she then took his measurements in detail.

"You little rascal! You're so young and you're already thinking about bad things! Can't you wear some underwear and be a little more discreet?"
