Chapter 41: 038: It seems to be an old friend_1
Lin Guixiang, despite the indifferent stares of many and the huge pressure, helped her up, which was enough to prove that Lin Guixiang wasn’t some unscrupulous merchant.
Moreover, for some reason, Grandma Lu always felt a strange sense of familiarity about Lin Guixiang.
So, Grandma Lu trusted this honest and straightforward young woman.
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang nodded with a smile, “All right, Auntie, please wait a moment.”
Soon, she brought out a full set of Immortal Phoenix and a sample of Lotus Dew.
“How much?” Grandma Lu asked.
“The Immortal Phoenix set is 820 yuan, and the sample is free,” Lin Guixiang replied.
At this, Grandma Lu was momentarily stunned.
A box of Immortal Phoenix set, which includes hydrating toner and emulsion, and a cream for removing spots, was only 820 yuan!
That was too cheap.
After all, a single facial mask that Grandma Lu usually used cost more than 820 yuan.
Could it really have miraculous effects for such a low price?
Grandma Lu was very curious.
“Can I pay with Alipay?”
“Yes,” Lin Guixiang nodded slightly and brought over the QR code for payment.
Grandma Lu scanned the code and made the payment.
The very next second, the sound of receiving money floated in the air—
[Alipay has received 10,000 yuan.]
10,000?!
Lin Guixiang turned to Grandma Lu, “Auntie, you’ve paid too much. It’s 820 yuan, not 10,000.”
Grandma Lu chuckled, “I didn’t pay the wrong amount, no mistake. Young lady, you saved my life today. What’s 10,000 yuan in that regard?”
Even 100,000 wouldn’t be too much.
But Grandma Lu felt that she was fated to meet Lin Guixiang and wanted to make friends with her. She was worried that giving 100,000 at once might startle her, so she transferred only 10,000 yuan.
“Auntie, it was just lending a helping hand! I can’t take this money. Leave me your Alipay account, and when my daughter comes back after buying the house, I’ll have her transfer it to you!” Lin Guixiang didn’t know how to process a refund, and since everyone used mobile payments, there was not enough cash in the store, so she had to wait until Lin Wu returned.
“It’s just a few thousand yuan, consider it me treating you to dinner!” Grandma Lu picked up the bag, “My girl, it’s getting late, I should be going now.”
“Auntie, you really can’t go,” Lin Guixiang grabbed Grandma Lu’s arm.
It was just a small favor; she couldn’t accept so much money from the elderly woman.
Grandma Lu sighed helplessly, “Alright, alright, I won’t go. Young lady, let go of me first, is it okay if I go to the restroom?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang let go of Grandma Lu’s hand.
The instant Lin Guixiang let go, Grandma Lu lifted her leg and sped off into the distance.
Her speed was astonishing.
Lin Guixiang stood there, gaping at what she’d just witnessed.
!!!
My goodness!
Did this auntie have some superpower?
She was even more impressive than an athlete.
Having run to the curb and reached her car, Grandma Lu leaned on her cane, panting heavily.
She had only run a short distance and was already unable to stand.
She really was getting old!
Back in her younger days, she had even set a world record.
The old lady ran like the wind.
Xiao Zheng, sitting in the driver’s seat, thought he was hallucinating.
Before long, Grandma Lu got into the car and said, “Let’s go back, Xiao Zheng.”
“Okay, Grandma Lu.”

After paying up, Lin Wu and Zhao Cuinong returned to the store.
Seeing them, Lin Guixiang immediately approached with a smile, “Cui Nong, Xiao Wu, did you finalize the purchase of the shop?”
“Yes,” Zhao Cuinong nodded, “We’ve got the keys. Xiao Wu said she’ll start arranging the renovation tomorrow. Let’s go have a look after we close up for the day!”
“Okay,” Lin Guixiang seemed to think of something and turned to Lin Wu, “Xiao Wu, can money paid with Alipay be refunded?”
“Yes, it can,” Lin Wu said with confusion, “Mom, who do you want to refund money to?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Guixiang briefly explained the incident that had just occurred.
After hearing the entire incident, Lin Wu also felt that they should not have taken the 10,000 yuan and proceeded to refund the elderly person the excess nine thousand plus yuan through the payment history.
Zhao Cuinong’s eyes widened, “Big sister, you really have guts to reach out in such a situation. Aren’t you afraid of encountering a scammer? Lucky for you, this time you met a good person.”
Incidents of kindness in helping an elderly person only to be extorted are not uncommon.
Some people have even been ruined by such scams.
Listening to Lin Guixiang’s description, Zhao Cuinong felt nervous for her.
Lin Guixiang smiled and said, “Actually, I was quite hesitant at the time. But seeing the elderly person looking so pitiful, I didn’t think too much.”
Just then, He Meili walked in from the outside.
As soon as she entered, she asked, “Cuinong, I heard that you and Xiao Wu bought the two-story shop across the street, is it true?”
“Yes,” Zhao Cuinong nodded.
He Meili was taken aback, “You really bought it?”
Zhao Cuinong took out the property purchase contract, “Take a look.”
He Meili took the contract and examined it closely.
She had thought that Lin Wu was just talking, but she didn’t expect Lin Wu to act so quickly.
“You guys are too impulsive, buying just like that!”
Lin Wu looked back slightly, “Aunt He, if you have some spare money, I suggest you also buy a set. If not, try to negotiate a long-term lease with the landlord – lease it for as long as you can. We don’t have much time left.”
Upon hearing this, He Meili narrowed her eyes, “Then I’ll go back and discuss it with your uncle right now!”
With those words, He Meili turned and left.
Back at the store, He Meili immediately discussed the issue with her husband, Wu Qiang.
Wu Qiang lit a cigarette, “Our business is doing okay right now, how about we renew the lease for another three years?”
He Meili nodded, “I think that’s a good idea, especially since Xiao Wu and the others bought two units at once.”
The couple, both being impulsive, called the landlord to renew the lease right away.
The landlord had been worried about being unable to rent out the property. Upon hearing that they wanted to renew, he printed the contract and delivered it that very afternoon.
After paying the money, the couple regretted their decision a bit.
Especially He Meili, who frowned as she watched the landlord leave, “If only we had known, we would have just renewed for one year! Boss Li is a local with connections. If there were really development plans in the works, he would surely be among the first to hear of it!”
If the landlord had received news about development, he certainly wouldn’t have agreed to a one-year renewal so readily.
Wu Qiang squinted his eyes, “It’s already renewed, so let’s not talk like that. Besides, I always feel that Xiao Wu’s analysis is reasonable.”
Although Wu Qiang found Lin Wu’s reasoning sound, he didn’t dare bet all their assets on buying a shop there.
Eight hundred thousand was not a small amount.
What if Lin Wu’s analysis was wrong?
Better to wait and see how things unfold.

The Lu Family.
Grandma Lu was sitting in front of a mirror, taking care of her skin.
Ding!
A message arrived on her phone.
Seeing the content of the message, Grandma Lu’s lips curled into a helpless smile, “This girl really is an honest person.”
Just then, Bai Lu walked in from outside, “Mom, in half a month it’ll be Aunt Fang’s birthday. What are your plans for this year?”

The “Aunt Fang” Bai Lu mentioned was Grandma Lu’s comrade-in-arms from her younger days, Fang Youling.
Fang Youling was a rare strong woman, not only beautiful but also from a very good family background.
At the age of twenty-five, she married the eldest son of the well-matched Tang Family, Tang Shaowei, and moved with the whole family to Capital City a year after the wedding. In that era, Fang Youling and her husband developed the Tang Family into the number one family in Capital City.
At present, the Tang Family stands firm on the international stage!
Hearing this, Grandma Lu set down her skincare product and furrowed her brows lightly, “Is it already so close to June 18th?”
“Yes.”
Grandma Lu let out a sigh, “Your sister Qiushui went missing on June 18th. Since Qiushui disappeared, all these years, your Aunt Fang has never celebrated her birthday.”
