Zhu Xianglan spoke softly, "Xu Musen is now in need of several Auntie of Shanghai franchise stores to bring him a wave of franchise popularity. As long as you can manage these milk tea stores well, it would be the greatest help to him. Are you lacking confidence in yourself?"
In the last sentence, Zhu Xianglan teased her as she always did.
However, Zhu Yulan's eyes were moist. She understood her sister's good intentions, and indeed, this was the surest way to help Xu Musen.
Looking at the franchise document in her hand, she finally nodded, lifted her head to look at her second sister, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a deep breath, and revealed the confident smile of a young lady, "Don't worry, I am your sister after all."
The sisters looked at each other for a long while, both breaking into laughter, laughing for a long time, without regard for appearances, but genuinely happy, just like in their childhood...
Before leaving, Zhu Xianglan placed the car keys in her hand, the keys to her Ferrari.
"You're now the boss of several franchise stores; it's only right that you have a suitable ride."
This time, Zhu Xianglan did not refuse, picked up her long-unused car keys, and it felt as though she was also picking up her former bold, proud, and confident self.
She opened the car door, sat inside, Zhu Xianglan had kept the car well maintained, everything was as it had been, including the little charm that Xu Musen had given her that hung from the rear-view mirror.
"By the way, let me ask you one more thing... Has your relationship with him shown any signs of progress?"
Zhu Xianglan suddenly leaned in on the car window and asked this question as she was about to leave.
Zhu Yulan was taken aback for a moment, and her face heated up, "Sis... what do you mean by that?"
"Don't play dumb, you surely have feelings for Xu Musen. After this incident, dad also thinks this young man is worthy to be his son-in-law. You really can make an effort this time."
Zhu Xianglan smiled while leaning on the car window, her ample chest almost comparable to an airbag.
Zhu Yulan blushed intensely; she wanted to refute subconsciously, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to express them, because deep down she knew she did have special feelings for Xu Musen.
"He already has a girlfriend..."
"A girlfriend is not a wife. As the saying goes, 'a daughter is sought after by a hundred families.' It's not wrong to pursue him before they're married. Besides, isn't he having an ambiguous time with his childhood sweetheart Qing Mei? You also have a chance, little sister... I'll buy you some breast enhancement cream, and besides, your legs and face are quite nice."
Zhu Xianglan analyzed it carefully and indeed felt that the young girl by Xu Musen's side was a formidable rival; she almost wanted to chop off her own qualities to give to her sister.
"Second sis, stop talking nonsense... he..."
Zhu Yulan started to say, but then remembered that recently, things between Xu Musen and Yao Mingyue seemed increasingly off.
If she could, then perhaps she could too...
Zhu Yulan was startled by her own thoughts, her face turning even redder.
"Ah, I... I should focus on my career, I'm going now!"
With that, she raised the car window and sped off with a press on the gas pedal.
Zhu Yulan stood still, watching her sister's hasty retreat.
She smiled to herself, thinking how wonderful it was to be young...
By now, Zhu Xianglan had seen through many things. In families like hers, or among people with high status, many who appear saintly in public have no idea how many others they support in private.
The rules are made for ordinary people.
What suits oneself is the most important.
Actually, no matter what choices her sister makes in the future, it doesn't matter, as long as she is happy, that's enough.
