Jin Yuyu was clearly very grateful for Lin Yuan’s assistance, and the smile on her face deepened a few shades. "So you really opened a shop? I will definitely patronize it when it opens."

Lin Yuan naturally welcomed this, having the daughter of the Jin family visit her new shop meant she wouldn’t even need to do any advertising.

After the two said their goodbyes, Jin Yuyu watched Lin Yuan’s carriage gradually fade into the distance, deep in thought.

By her side, Lian’er muttered softly, "The old lady treats the young lady so poorly, yet the young lady still remembers to prepare such nice things for her, it’s truly..."

Jin Yuyu withdrew her gaze and glanced at her imperceptibly, reverting to her usual indifferent tone. "Since when can you judge the master’s rights and wrongs?"

Lian’er stuck her tongue out and hung her head, no longer speaking.

Another maid, Qinger, scolded her with a glance and quickly changed the subject. "Miss has been watching that girl’s carriage for a while, is there something wrong with that carriage?"

Qinger was obviously more sensible and smarter than Lian’er.

Jin Yuyu looked at her approvingly and said softly, "Though the carriage is unremarkable and bears no insignia, I recognized the young man driving it. He seems to be an attendant from the Fuman Building."

Frowning, Jin Yuyu speculated, "Could it be that this young woman has some connection to the Fuman Building? But she clearly looks like a simple village girl, how could she have a connection with the Fuman Building? Could it be that Shopkeeper Liu has taken a liking to her mooncake-making skills?"

It wasn’t that she looked down on Lin Yuan, but Boss Lao Fan of the Fuman Building truly had an odd temper, and it was difficult for the average person to catch his eye.

Although her family’s Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop also did business with the Fuman Building, she had always interacted with Shopkeeper Liu and had never had a single conversation with the boss.

Therefore, she merely speculated that it was Shopkeeper Liu who was acquainted with Lin Yuan, and she didn’t suspect Boss Lao Fan. Since it had nothing to do with the boss, Jin Yuyu lost interest in the matter.

"Forget it." She let the curtains fall and shook her head in self-mockery. She had actually thought about using a young girl to establish a connection with the owner of the Fuman Building; she must be really desperate.

Qinger and Lian’er exchanged glances, both heaving a soft sigh.

The second house was pressing them hard, and many old customers had been poached by them.

And since the master was not decisive, the entire Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop was being tenaciously held up by the Madam and the young lady; it was no wonder the young lady thought of turning to the Fuman Building, this major sponsor.

Lian’er’s eyes rolled, thinking that while the young lady was too embarrassed to ask Lin Yuan directly, she could take the opportunity to inquire.

If this young woman was really acquainted with the owner of the Fuman Building, even a single word could strengthen the business relations between Jin Ji Vinegar Workshop and the Fuman Building.

That would truly save the young lady and also safeguard the position of the Head of the Jin Family.

Because they had been delayed on the main street for a while, by the time Lin Yuan and her party arrived at Rice Flower Fragrance, the decorators had been waiting for quite some time.

Fortunately, Mo Sanniang had been there to watch over them, preventing them from thinking the boss wasn’t coming and leaving.

"You’re here, sister?" Mo Sanniang greeted Lin Yuan happily as soon as she saw her.

Lin Yuan greeted her with a smile, astonished at how she had regained her vitality in just one day. More than surprised, she admired her. Such a strong woman was the kind she liked the most.

After Lin Jiaxin was lifted down from the carriage and settled into his wheelchair, Liuzi opened the door and, with the blueprints in hand, entered the shop with the decorators.

Lin Yuan introduced Mo Sanniang and Lin Jiaxin to each other before pushing him into the door to see their new shop.

Mo Sanniang had intended to enter as well, but since she was the only one watching her fabric store, and it was the time when customers started to come in, she could not afford to stay there any longer. After greeting Lin Yuan and her father, she hurried back to her own store.
