Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

"I remember now, a colleague mentioned that Friendship Supermarket has good quality products and reasonable prices."

Zhu Ying only knew that Lu Yuan was Li Huan's friend. When Friendship Supermarket was mentioned, she remembered what had happened before and said with a smile.

"The key point is that it's easy to use, especially the soaps I bought there. They're easy to use and don't hurt my hands."

Zhu Ying explained with a smile, but then she suddenly froze on the spot and looked at Lu Yuan again.

"My God, you're the owner of Friendship Supermarket?"

Faced with Zhu Ying's somewhat exaggerated words, Lu Yuan nodded a little embarrassed; he was genuinely a bit shy.

He felt that if the person in front of him praised him like that, he would lose all face.

Zhu Ying, standing to the side, glanced at her daughter, raised an eyebrow, and spoke with a hint of disdain.

"Why did you take a liking to her? This little girl doesn't have any special skills..."

"..."

Lu Yuan was at a loss for words upon hearing this and couldn't continue the conversation.

Li Huan, who was standing to the side, knew that his mother might have misunderstood, so he gave an explanation in a rather irritable tone.

"Mom, he and I are just friends, please don't talk nonsense!"

She was afraid that if she talked any longer, her mother would think that the person in front of her was very suitable and want to take her on a blind date.

Who knows, two people who could have been friends might end up not being able to do anything at all.

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes as she thought about these things, and she glanced at Lu Yuan before speaking.

"Don't you have things to do?"

"right."

Lu Yuan nodded repeatedly and stood up to speak.

"I won't stay here any longer, Auntie. I'll bring you something next time I come."

"You're leaving already?"

Zhu Ying wanted to persuade her daughter to stay, but noticing the murderous look in her eyes, she had to suppress her thoughts for the time being.

Watching Li Huan's departing figure, she let out a soft sigh.

"After waiting for so many years, the cycad has finally learned to bloom."

She went into the inner room and looked at a portrait. The person in the photo looked somewhat like Li Huan in terms of his eyebrows and eyes, especially his heroic spirit, which was exactly the same.

"Old Li, it seems like our daughter has found a match."

For Zhu Ying, her greatest wish in this life is to see her daughter find a good husband.

She used to be very fond of Qi Qiang, but she never expected that the two children would not end up together. From what Zhu Ying knew, this might be a good thing for Li Huan.

At this point, Zhu Ying continued with a smile.

"Don't blame me for being nosy, but that Qi Qiang is really no good."

……

After going downstairs, Li Huan glanced at Lu Yuan, who didn't seem to react much, and felt a little worried. She looked at him and said something.

"That's just how my mom is. When she meets a guy she thinks is pretty good, she wants to recommend him to me. I've told her this so many times, but she just won't listen."

Li Huan looked somewhat troubled at this moment.

To others, this might seem like a good thing, but for Li Huan, it's a huge problem.

Lu Yuan glanced at her and said.

"I think your aunt is doing this for your own good. She hopes you can find a good family. Besides, doesn't this mean your aunt approves of me?"

"What are you talking about?"

Li Huan rubbed his temples and said.

"Lu Yuan, let me explain again, I don't have the mind to think about those things right now."

"Neither do I?"

Lu Yuan looked at her and said.

He was just expressing his opinion, but that doesn't mean he will actually do it.

Li Huan is indeed very outstanding, and he feels that the two of them are just friends.

Li Huan glanced at Lu Yuan, then realized that she might have been overthinking things, and immediately looked away.

"You mentioned earlier that you ran into Qi Qiang with someone from out of town, and that you thought you recognized that person. Do you remember who that person was?"

"no."

Mentioning this matter, Lu Yuan felt a slight throbbing pain between his eyebrows, his intuition telling him that he must have seen this person somewhere before.

But I just can't remember.

But the more he thought about Boss Niu's figure, the more familiar it seemed, especially his manner of speaking and his actions—it really did look like him.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had become somewhat silent, Li Huan assumed that his behavior had angered him and quickly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, did I make things difficult for you?"

"No, that's not true. I came in too much of a hurry today. I will definitely come to visit you again when I have more time."

Lu Yuan quickly replied.

He wasn't just saying that casually; after all, he hadn't brought anything with him this time, which was definitely inappropriate.

Li Huan nodded, but as soon as she got downstairs, she suddenly froze.

She was filled with remorse, fearing that her mother was not just overthinking things, but was probably starting to have wild ideas.

That's alright, but I'm worried that my mother might gossip and cause her trouble.

The atmosphere became a bit awkward, so Lu Yuan asked curiously.

"Auntie's job seems pretty easy to me? What does she do?"

"My mom works at the cadre retirement office. There's nothing particularly important going on, and she's usually quite idle."

Li Huan thought for a moment and then said.

"I heard from Uncle Han that my mom used to be very capable, but she stopped managing things after my dad's accident."

"So, Aunt Zhu is quite remarkable?"

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, somewhat surprised.

He was genuinely surprised, and considering Li Huan's behavior, she didn't care at all, even though her father was Qi Qiang, the Minister of Commerce.

It might really be related to her mother.

However, I don't mind that the journey is long.

He and Li Huan are friends, and it has nothing to do with her identity; it's just that the two of them get along well.

Li Huan escorted him downstairs and said earnestly.

"I heard you have some new products in your store."

"I'll bring you more next time I come."

Lu Yuan smiled knowingly and said.

"good!"

Li Huan smiled and nodded, watching Lu Yuan leave.

There will be another chance to meet, okay?

Lu Yuan wasn't in a hurry to leave. He strolled along the road, reminiscing about how he had met Boss Niu earlier that day.

Judging from his tone of voice, he seems to be from Hong Kong. Nowadays, there are quite a few businessmen from other places in Shanghai.

Hong Kong businessmen are not commonly seen, mainly because the procedures used to be too complicated, and some things were not suitable for being transferred over there.

The other person's peculiar tone kept reminding him of it. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to give up for now and think about it again when he had the chance later.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, he suddenly froze on the spot.

Under a neon sign not far away, a female celebrity's boyfriend came into his view.
