Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

Even in the sweltering summer heat, the person wore a hat and mask, as if afraid of being recognized.

Lu Yuan glanced at him once, then turned his gaze to Lu Qin's back. It was only then that he realized that Lu Qin was completely different from the person he had first met.

She seems difficult to talk to, but she's very susceptible to being provoked.

I think we can try this method more often in the future.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile, a slight curve to his lips, quite looking forward to how he should provoke her next time.

Just as he was about to leave, the figure finally couldn't sit still and hurriedly came over.

"Xiao Yuan, it's me. Shall we discuss something?"

"OK."

Lu Yuan had recognized Chu You long ago, but the other party was unwilling to speak up. Did he expect Lu Yuan, the victim, to pay him off?

Since the other party still cares about his face, he naturally won't say anything more and will just do what he plans.

Chu You looked around. There were indeed few people on the street, but that didn't mean no one noticed him. Besides, his outfit was quite eye-catching.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Chu You's shop is much larger than Lu Yuan's, and there is a courtyard in the back, which looks like a place for people to live, but it shouldn't be a problem to use it as a warehouse.

There were four rows of display cases inside, filled with all sorts of things. When Lu Yuan arrived at the condiment section, he found that many items were covered in dust, indicating that there hadn't been any business for a long time.

Guan Jinhua's previous targeting of him was not without reason.

After entering the shop, Chu You pulled down the roller shutter door and took off her mask and hat, revealing her soaking wet hair.

"It's so hot!"

In this awful weather, it's highly unlikely that you'll be safe from getting hurt if you bundle yourself up completely.

Lu Yuan glanced at him, then shook his head slightly and asked in a rather indifferent tone.

"How is it?"

One sentence silenced Chu You.

Clearly, Lu Yuan didn't care about the couple's situation at all, and didn't even care about their plight. He simply asked a question.

He used to be able to talk to some friends when he walked on the street, but now he's afraid that people will recognize him when he walks down the street.

"I truly regret not stopping them back then. If I had stopped her, we might not have ended up like this, and our relationship wouldn't have deteriorated to this point."

"It's too late to say anything now; there's no going back in this world."

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.

If only they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now that they're in such a pitiful state, Lu Yuan doesn't feel sorry for them at all.

If I don't install a camera, who will pity me when I suffer?

Chu You nodded and said, "Officer Wu told us that as long as we are willing to settle this privately, Jin Hua will not have to go to jail."

"I still have the same plan as before."

Lu Yuan nodded and shared his thoughts.

Chu You opened his mouth, wanting to try and persuade him, but when he saw Lu Yuan's expression, he suddenly lost the will to explain or discuss.

He had always wanted to take advantage of Lu Yuan, but in the end, he ruined his own life.

He nodded and said.

"I agree with your plan, let's sign."

He produced a document stamped by the notary office, stating that once it was signed and registered, the shop would become Lu Yuan's.

Lu Yuan looked at the shop and spoke up.

"Actually, my shop has never planned to follow the typical path of a regular store, so it doesn't really conflict with your business. If we cooperate, you might even be able to make more money."

"It's too late to say these things now. I truly regret what I did in the past."

Chu You shook his head, no longer feeling fortunate.

Now he and Guan Jinhua are both like rats that everyone hates. They don't even dare to show their faces on Xijing Road, let alone open a shop.

Lu Yuan glanced at him and asked a question.

"Actually, you can stay here, and I can rent the house to you again."

"Forget it, I plan to go back to my hometown with your sister-in-law. We've saved up some money over the years, which is definitely not enough to pay you back, but it should be enough to open a small shop at home."

Chu You shook her head and revealed her plan.

The real reason he felt helpless, besides what his wife had done to Lu Yuan, was what happened after that incident.

Even he himself knew that the store would most likely not be able to stay open and would have to close down.

Lu Yuan nodded and said something.

"If you need to purchase goods from me, just let me know."

Strangely enough, when the two of them were able to work together, they didn't have the slightest intention to cooperate at all.

Chu You had always wanted to directly seize Lu Yuan's business, but now he had lost that intention. However, he received this news and could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

"Never mind, let's go back and talk about it first."

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded and signed his name.

Chu You put her hat back on and prepared to leave.

"Remember to go to the notary office, otherwise the government might take it back if the time is too late."

As he spoke, he prepared to leave.

Lu Yuan looked at his retreating figure and spoke.

"Brother Chu, drive carefully."

"Um."

Chu nodded, left a key on the counter, and then left.

In the afternoon, Lu Yuan went to the police station, signed a settlement agreement, and then went to the notary office to register it.

That evening, Guan Jinhua and Chu You returned to their shop without telling anyone. They packed their things and left after a long time.

The next morning, when the neighbors saw what had happened, they were filled with emotion.

"The Chu couple moved away."

"If they don't leave, the days ahead are going to be tough."

"That's absolutely right. What they did was hardly human. If I ever saw them, I'd drown them in my spittle."

"There's nothing we can do about it; they're just being very dishonest."

"I wonder where we'll have to go to buy soy sauce and vinegar in the future?"

The neighbors had many different opinions about the two people's departure.

However, the most discussed topic is that people will have to walk an extra block to buy soy sauce in the future.

Lu Yuan looked at the shop and didn't plan to change anything for the time being. He just hired a few people to clean it up again and didn't even change the sign. He would use it as a convenience store for now.

We'll talk about it later when we have other ideas.

After Chu You and his wife moved away, Lu Yuan's life went smoothly without any major setbacks. Half a month passed quickly, and then good news came from Hu Lili.
