Chapter 224: Chapter 223 Dreaming

Lin Xia quickly mailed her reply to Lu Zheng, and then she started busying herself with her money-making business.

Sure enough, people in the market began to copy her, making pedal-pushers with materials they had sourced from who knows where.

Lin Xia didn’t care, as it was impossible for her to monopolize this forever.

However, when the market was flooded with them, she upgraded her pedal-pushers.

This time, she made them in one go without adding elastic bands, and although it was a bit more trouble, they were comfortable and looked good.

Suddenly, those who had followed suit could only buy them again to study and produce.

Time flew by, and New Year’s Eve was upon them in a blink.

That day, Lin Xia was busy when Lin Aijia and Yu Hongmei suddenly appeared at her stall.

"What brings you here?" Lin Xia was surprised; she had been sending money on time every month to Lin Aijia through the post office for convenience.

It shouldn’t be missing, so why had mother and daughter come together?

Yu Hongmei was taken aback by the change in Lin Xia; she had never visited Lin Xia’s place before, and it had been a long time since she had seen Lin Xia.

When they used to work in the same office, though they saw each other every day, Lin Xia back then was completely different from now; Yu Hongmei would believe it if she was told it was a different person.

Now, Lin Xia was not only dressed in fashionable clothes, but her hair was also styled up high, revealing her forehead, and her features were delicate, making her overall appearance particularly elegant.

Lin Aijia now knew that Lin Xia was capable of making money and being formidable, so she definitely couldn’t treat her the same as before.

She explained with a smile, "We came over to stroll around and buy some things, just passing by here; your Sister Hongmei said it’s been a long time since we last saw you, so we came to visit!"

Yu Hongmei couldn’t keep staring at Lin Xia, so she turned her gaze to inspect Lin Xia’s stall, "Lin Xia! Your clothes are quite pretty!"

"They are okay! Sister Hongmei! You two go ahead and look, I need to keep selling!" Lin Xia didn’t pay much attention to them and continued selling. As long as they weren’t making trouble, she wouldn’t mind chatting and letting them look at the goods.

Yu Hongmei looked at the clothes on Lin Xia’s stall, and besides the fashionable tops, the most striking were the pedal-pushers.

She saw a colleague buy some and had copied them, but looking closely, the ones Lin Xia was selling were a bit different from what she had bought.

When Lin Xia had sent away some customers, Yu Hongmei finally asked, "Hey! Lin Xia! How come these are different from the ones I bought?"

"This is a new model!" Lin Xia didn’t reveal much; she couldn’t let these people know that she was the one who had come up with the pedal-pushers.

Otherwise, those who followed might raise their prices.

"Ah!" Yu Hongmei felt it wasn’t right to buy from Lin Xia; whether she gave too much or too little wouldn’t be appropriate.

Taking the opportunity, Lin Aijia, while tidying up, asked Lin Xia, "Lin Xia, there are only a few days until New Year’s Day, and after January, it’s Chinese New Year. What are your plans for the holiday?"

She had only one purpose for visiting today, which was to see if they could ease their relationship a bit.

Could the father and daughter have such great animosity?

Her older brother had mentioned during the recent money transfers that, after thinking over past years, he indeed owed his children.

Thus, after Lin Qiang had come out, he severely disciplined him and had also warned Chunli and Lin Yu. He told them not to show up at Lin Xia’s or else he would kick them out of the house.

Lin Xia looked at Lin Aijia with disapproval; even if she agreed to give Aiguo eighty yuan a month, that didn’t mean they were going to smile and let bygones be bygones and spend the New Year together. In her dreams!

"Still just getting on with it, how could I still be with you all? Fine, you guys go ahead and browse, I’m busy here!"

Lin Aijia wanted to talk more about her elder brother’s feelings with Lin Xia but Yu Hongmei firmly dragged her away, "Lin Xia! Then you go ahead and do your thing, my mom and I are leaving!"

Yu Hongmei was really about to be driven mad by her mother, she thought she was really brought here just to check out Lin Xia’s stall, and it turned out to be half a day of playing mediator.

Even if she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, from what her mother had said, she formed an idea, if it wasn’t for her uncle provoking Lin Xia, would she have sent him to a mental hospital?

Now that things had finally calmed down, why stir up something else?

"Alright! Take care!" Lin Xia held no considerable dislike toward Yu Hongmei, she even appreciated her sense of timeliness.

After all, it really wasn’t her own family’s business to meddle in.

Jiang Mingyuan couldn’t help but laugh at the scene, Lin Xia had really changed a lot, much more confident than before, exuding a straightforward and cheerful spirit.

But the more he liked her, the less he dared to confess his feelings.

He didn’t want to spoil the harmonious relationship they had finally developed, to return to the cold aloofness they once suffered for a period of time.

And what Xiaoqing had said, different from confessing in person, once he took that step, said those words, there was no taking them back.

The two of them were getting along well now, everything was understood without words.

If he deliberately ignored Lu Zheng’s existence, he really felt that continuing this way was good, one day, he would win Lin Xia’s heart.

But even if Lin Xia hadn’t told him, he knew that Lu Zheng had been promoted, becoming even more outstanding.

Late at night in the quiet, he couldn’t help but ask himself, he wanted Lin Xia to be with him, but he also had to consider if he could provide her a happy life.

Putting aside their family backgrounds, just based on him being a stall merchant, could he really compete with someone like that?

So recently, he had been researching other business opportunities, here he might find someone to take over after the new year, but no matter who it was, they would help him protect her.

Lin Xia turned her head and saw Jiang Mingyuan lost in thought, she asked curiously, "Second Brother! I’ve noticed you seem quite preoccupied lately?"

Jiang Mingyuan laughed heartily, he didn’t deny it, "Indeed, I am preoccupied!"

Lin Xia moved closer to him, asking softly, "Preoccupied about what?"

Jiang Mingyuan spoke quietly, "Preoccupied about making money! You see here, unless you do wholesale like you, relying on retail isn’t making much!"

Lin Xia nodded, "Indeed! So what are you thinking of doing?"

If it weren’t for the little profits, she wouldn’t have thought about doing wholesale leggings, but once that market became saturated, she’d have to think of something else right away.

If it were spring, summer, or autumn, dresses sold well, mini skirts, full skirts, she could think of new designs.

But in winter, fewer people wore dresses, and most bought single pants layered over warm trousers.

Nothing fashionable and unique came to mind yet.

Jiang Mingyuan said softly, "Haven’t decided yet, but there’s a good business opportunity, once I decide to do it, I’ll hand this place over to someone else after the new year!"

His desire to make a lot of money was urgent yet calm; he wouldn’t do it without thorough consideration.
