Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 19 - Grand Opening

Mrs. Zhen had planned for the opening at 8 o'clock, so the three of them arrived at Shoe City at 7:30.

Zhen Yan held up the firecrackers with a bamboo pole, hoisting them up high in front of the door, while Mrs. Zhen pasted a square of big red paper on the glass door, emblazoned with the characters 'Da' and 'Ji'.

When it was still early for 8 o'clock, Mrs. Fu arrived with Fu Yu, the first to pay a visit.

"Wow! This looks pretty good!" Mrs. Fu praised upon entering, "The environment is really nice, quite unlike when it sold hardware, all cluttered with junk metal!"

"Ha-ha! We don't sell that stuff anymore! Dead heavy and not even that profitable!" Mrs. Zhen laughed in response, then waved her hand, "Feel free to look around, anything you fancy I'll definitely give you a discount!"

Mrs. Zhen had been running the store by her house for so many years and was used to dealing with acquaintances—things like being too shy to greet people or feeling hesitant to ask for money simply didn't exist!

Mrs. Fu wasn't standoffish either and indeed started browsing carefully.

One after another, people whom Zhen Yu knew—or didn't—entered the store; they all greeted Mrs. Zhen warmly, and she naturally introduced her own merchandise with ease.

Zhen Yu just sat on a small stool at the doorway, quietly reading a book, only raising her head when the deafening sound of firecrackers came from outside.

Many people had gathered outside, most of whom were there to congratulate Mrs. Zhen on the auspicious store opening. Back when she was at the transshipment station, Mrs. Zhen was already well-liked, and later when the couple both lost their jobs and took over this store, it was mostly her who managed it.

She was familiar with all the other storeowners nearby; they stood at the door chatting and laughing, as it was too early for real customers to be out shopping anyway.

Zhen Yu buried her head back in her book, only reading a few pages before she heard a sharp female voice outside, "Yo~~~ so you're opening up, huh? You made it look quite decent!"

"Get out! My store is not welcoming you!" Mrs. Zhen's voice contained hidden anger.

"Open up your door for business! What right do you have to turn me away? I insist on going in today!"

"Scram! Homewrecker! Coming any further would dirty my floor!" Mrs. Zhen couldn't hold back her curse.

"#@￥% You can't keep your man in check yourself and you have the nerve to blame me?! Witch! #@%#..."

The shrill cursing of the woman continued to filter into the store, while Mrs. Zhen kept on calling her 'homewrecker' and 'vixen', occasionally adding 'shameless'.

What a lackluster fighting power my mother has!

With a "slam!" Zhen Yu slammed her book down on the counter, stood up, and walked out.

Mrs. Zhen and that woman were both held back by others, standing several meters apart cursing at each other.

When Han Mingyue and Han Jiayang approached Shoe City, they witnessed this scene.

Han Mingyue frowned almost instantly!

He disliked meddling or watching these sorts of vulgar quarrels, and would always take a detour at the sight of one.

But Han Jiayang was thrilled; the kind who enjoyed the spectacle without fearing the trouble, he dashed straight into the heart of the commotion.

Han Mingyue's gaze followed his brother's figure, and just like that, he caught sight of a girl in a tank top and shorts, wearing flip-flops, languidly walking into the clear space amidst the crowd.

This halted Han Mingyue, who had intended to turn away and leave, making him stand still on the spot.

"What are you up to? Let me go!" The woman struggled and questioned in panic.

She didn't expect that her resistance would make the two women holding her back even tighter.

Both women were acquaintances of Mrs. Zhen and obviously recognized Zhen Yu as her daughter! Seeing Zhen Yu, petite and skinny, they worried the woman caught in her grasp could lunge at her and scratch her face, so naturally, they refused to let go!

Zhen Yu stood upright in front of the three, and suddenly praised, "Quite a sharp tongue you've got!"

The women grasping her were simultaneously startled, and the mistress was also stunned by the praise!

Just then, Zhen Yu suddenly closed in and threw a punch!

The two women instinctively let go... and the woman fell to the ground with a 'bang', unconscious.

The crowd was in an uproar.

"Good heavens!! This young lady is pretty fierce!"

"She's really something! Knocked someone out with a single punch!"

Zhen Yu's action was so swift and decisive that it looked like she was acting, prompting spontaneous discussion among the people.

"Is it boxing?"

"I don't think so?"

"Wow!" Han Jiaoyang jumped three feet high, an exclamation he'd almost never uttered before slipping out," Sister Xiaoyu! You're so cool!"

With an indifferent expression, Zhen Yu didn't even glance at the woman on the ground and turned towards Sincere Shoe City, four or five shops away—heading for Zhen Cheng Hardware Store.

Zhen Yu walked up the steps and knocked on the glass door, and Mr. Zhen, alerted by the noise, came out.

Surprised, he said, "Xiaoyu, you,"

The girl pointed towards the crowd with her hand, her voice carrying a chill like shards of ice, "Go pick up your bitch and tie her up properly! If she comes again, I'll beat her again!"

Mr. Zhen followed his daughter's hand and looked down, hastily going over to carry the woman back.

Zhen Yu remained standing in front of the hardware store and did not move. When Mr. Zhen returned to the front of the store with the woman in his arms, he angrily said, "You,"

"Shut up!" A cold light flashed in Zhen Yu's eyes, "I'll come tomorrow to collect the first year's alimony. Have it ready!"

"Understood!" Mr. Zhen held back his anger and turned into the house with the woman.

If he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to carry her... She's really heavy!

Han Mingyue's gaze had been following Zhen Yu the whole time, his eyes bright and emotions surging.

He had heard about the divorce of Zhen Yu's parents right away, and the reason he never asked her about it was that he thought it would upset her!

But he had never imagined that this would be her way of dealing with the provocations of a mistress.

Would a girl like this feel sad and upset about her parents' divorce?!

Han Mingyue didn't think so! It seemed he really needed to re-evaluate Zhen Yu.

Every boy has a hero dream when he's young, and Han Mingyue was no exception. Seeing the dominance and aggressiveness emanating from the girl, Han Mingyue felt an exceptional sense of exultation!

Indeed, she has become someone to be looked at with new respect after just a few days!

After doing all this under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhen Yu then calmly returned to her shop and took a seat on a small stool in the corner to continue reading.

The crowd: "..."

Today was truly a free show to watch!

Mrs. Zhen's expression fluctuated for a while, seeing everyone staring dumbly at her daughter inside the Shoe City, she hurriedly put on a smile and rounded things off, "I'm so sorry! Making you all witness such a farce! Thankfully we are all not strangers here! Who doesn't know who right? I'm not afraid of losing face! Everyone, just take it with a grain of salt!"

She clapped her hands vigorously, speaking loudly, "Today is the grand opening of my Sincere Shoe City! Welcome, everyone! If you have money, support us with some business! If not, then just lend us your presence! Come on, come on! Come inside and take a look!"
