After showing off that he had an outstanding great-niece, Lin Bingqiang then headed towards the office.
Upon arriving at the office.
Seeing him so happy, a curious colleague asked, “Lin, did you win the lottery today?”
You must know that Lin Bingqiang was usually a very serious person, but today he was smiling so brilliantly.
Clearly, this was not normal.
Lin Bingqiang looked at his colleague, “Old Zhu, look at my new shirt.”
Old Zhu’s gaze fell on Lin Bingqiang’s shirt, and he squinted, saying, “Your shirt seems a bit small.”
“Small? What’s small? It’s not small at all, it fits perfectly!” Lin Bingqiang said, sticking out his chest.
Old Zhu’s eyes widened.
The buttons on the front were about to burst, and it’s not small?
This man seemed a bit off today.
Lin Bingqiang continued, “This was specially bought for me by my great-niece. I said no, but she insisted on getting it for me!”
Only then did Old Zhu understand Lin Bingqiang’s intention, and said insincerely, “Not small at all, indeed not small, I must have seen it wrong! How could something your great-niece bought be small?”
For the whole morning.
Lin Bingqiang boasted about his new shirt.
He even showed it off to the dogs in the unit.

On the other side.
At the Lu Family.
Grandma Lu’s first task after getting up was to look in the mirror.
She was surprised to find that the spots on her face seemed to have faded a bit, though it was not very noticeable.
After washing up, Grandma Lu carefully applied the Immortal Phoenix once more.
She believed that as long as she kept using it, the results would definitely get better and better.
During breakfast.
Grandma Lu mentioned this to Lu Lingli, “Lingli, didn’t you say you are prone to getting spots? I suggest you also try their Immortal Phoenix, it’s really effective!”
Lu Lingli frowned slightly, “Grandma, you really shouldn’t use these unheard-of skincare products. If there were any side effects, it would be too late for regrets.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t believe in domestic products, but domestic products simply didn’t have such skincare giants yet.
“But Beauty Chant is indeed effective!” Grandma Lu continued, “Lingli, look at my face, haven’t many of my spots faded a lot?”
Hearing this, Lu Lingli looked up at Grandma Lu’s face.
She saw that the old lady’s cheeks still had many spots, which were no different from a few days ago.
She knew these domestic skincare products couldn’t have any miraculous effects.
After a moment, Lu Lingli shook her head, “I don’t see it.”
Seeing her granddaughter directly negate her words, Grandma Lu anxiously said, “Lingli, take a closer look! Aren’t the spots on the left side of my face much lighter than before?”
“Grandma, you must be seeing things! It’s probably just a placebo effect.”
Grandma Lu took a bite of her bun, “Maybe the effects are just not that obvious right now, but you will see in a few days!”
A helpless expression covered Lu Lingli’s face.
Her grandma was nice in every way, but was just too stubborn, the typical kind who doesn’t turn back until hitting the wall.
Lu Lingli looked at Grandma Lu, “Grandma, these skincare products contain banned substances. It’s best not to use them if we can avoid it! They’re not only bad for the skin but also for the body, especially for someone of your age?”
Hearing this, Grandma Lu put down her chopsticks, “Am I that old?”
She was still a young fairy, okay?
Knowing that her mother-in-law was very sensitive about age issues, Bai Lu changed the topic with a smile, looking at Lu Lingli, “Lingli, I heard that you’ve recently got a boyfriend?”
“Yeah.” Lu Lingli nodded, “I plan to bring him over on Monday for you, my dad, and my grandma to meet.”
Bringing her boyfriend over?
How rare is this!
Although Lu Lingli had dated many boyfriends, she had never taken the initiative to bring one home!
Since she decided to bring him home, it showed that she really liked him.
Grandma Lu asked curiously, “How long have you known each other?”
Lu Lingli put down her chopsticks, “Although we haven’t known each other for very long, we really have a great understanding between us, and our values align.”
Bai Lu immediately asked, “Where is the man from? How old is he? What does he do for a living?”
Upon hearing this, Grandma Lu also put down her chopsticks and listened carefully to her granddaughter’s reply.
“He’s from Country R, this year…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Grandma Lu interrupted her directly, “What did you say his nationality was?”
“From Country R,” Lu Lingli said.
Grandma Lu looked at Lu Lingli in disbelief, “Country R? You’ve found yourself a Little Baga?”
She really couldn’t bring herself to like people from Country R.
Little Baga?
Lu Lingli frowned slightly, Grandma Lu’s words were simply too disrespectful to her boyfriend, “Grandma, his name is Mr. Gongben, not Little Baga.”
“I don’t care what he’s called!”
Anyway, all the people from Country R were called Little Baga by Grandma Lu.
With that, Grandma Lu continued, “Lu Lingli, I don’t care whether or not you are serious about this relationship, but please think about our Huaxia’s history while you are with this Little Baga.”

“Our Lu Family has a backbone of steel, and we will never associate with Japanese Pirates!”
After her words, Grandma Lu turned and walked away, leaving Lu Lingli with only her retreating figure.

Half past eleven in the morning.
South Street.
It was the lunchtime rush, and Zhang Ji Restaurant was incredibly busy, with customers coming in one after another.
Ma Xiaolan was bustling about in the kitchen when a figure suddenly ran in from outside, “Sis! Sis!”
It wasn’t anyone else who arrived but Ma Xiaolan’s younger brother, Ma Dawen.
“What’s the matter?” Ma Xiaolan looked up at Ma Dawen.
Ma Dawen continued, “Did you hear? They are going to start building a subway here on South Street soon, construction starts the day after tomorrow!”
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaolan’s eyes widened, “Really? How come it’s so sudden?”
If there really was going to be a subway, there surely would have been some news about it.
Yet they hadn’t heard a whisper.
“Absolutely true!” Ma Dawen said, “Su Garden Ancient Town at number 258 South Street was rated as a 5A scenic spot just yesterday, sis. Haven’t you noticed the increase in customers coming to eat these days?”
Ma Xiaolan nodded, there had indeed been more people coming to eat at the restaurant lately, but she thought it was because their food was good, not realizing there was another reason.
Ma Xiaolan looked at Ma Dawen, “Who did you hear about this from?”
“Don’t you ever watch the news, sis?” Ma Dawen retorted.
Su Garden Ancient Town was originally just an obscure little spot, but it caught on fire earlier this year after a web celebrity dressed in Hanfu promoted it and gradually started attracting young women in Hanfu to check in.
At that time, the flow of people in South Street wasn’t very big.
However, recently, the South Street Cultural and Tourism Bureau keenly seized this topic and, in collaboration with various short video platform influencers, heavily promoted the Hanfu festival at Su Garden Ancient Town, making it known to the entire nation.
Hence, South Street, a place where even birds wouldn’t poop, suddenly transformed into a hot check-in spot.
The construction of the subway was also to make traveling more convenient for tourists.
As a result, the real estate and prices in the South Street area rose along with its popularity.
Without waiting for Ma Xiaolan to speak, Ma Dawen continued, “Sis, while we still have time, you should quickly ask the landlord if the shop is still on sale for 800,000.”
Ma Xiaolan immediately took out her phone and called the landlord to discuss buying the shop.
Hearing this, the landlord laughed, “Mrs. Ma, are you taking me for a fool? Now that South Street has become a 5A scenic spot, forget 800,000, I wouldn’t sell it even for 8 million!”
