If the dagger was aimed at Sister Xiaofeng, this matter is definitely not simple.
"The only ones who know of Sister Xiaofeng’s existence are the Xu Family. In my opinion, it must be the Xu Family, furious and embarrassed, wanting to eliminate you swiftly," she was also aware of the unresolved issue between the Xu Family and the Gu Family yesterday.
So, the Xu Family is thinking of making a move against Sister Xiaofeng.
Xiaofeng glanced around, the surroundings were noisy, and just now she thought she saw a shadow, but when she turned to look again, it had disappeared without a trace.
"Miss, that Su Xiaofeng seems to be skilled. The dagger was about to reach her body, and she moved away instantaneously as if she had eyes in the back of her head," Yin Li had originally intended only to scare Su Xiaofeng, but Su Xiaofeng dodged it, feeling as though she had eyes in the back of her head, clearly seeing what was happening behind her.
"Skilled?" Xu Xuezi snorted lightly, "What kind of skill could a country woman have? I think it was purely a fluke."
"That’s a possibility, but miss, by making our move today, Gu Yecheng will definitely know; this kind of matter, Gu Yecheng can guess without thinking that it was us who did it." Currently, besides the Xu Family, no one else knows that Su Xiaofeng is Gu Yecheng’s wife and that she exists.
"So what if he knows? If Gu Yecheng has the ability, let him kill me. If he doesn’t kill me, one day I will surely kill Su Xiaofeng," Xu Xuezi’s eyes were filled with hatred, "He was the first to be heartless, now don’t blame me for being ruthless."
"And there’s Quan Xiaonian; I’ll settle my score with her sooner or later. She dared to ruin someone’s marriage at such a young age, I will make her life a living hell."
Her becoming a laughingstock was due to Quan Xiaonian’s meddling, coupled with Gu Yecheng’s heartlessness.
Therefore, she will settle these matters clearly, one by one.
"This is University Town, and that’s the Moat." Coming out of the temple fair, the three walked along the Moat, "This area mostly has schools, so there are quite a few students around."
Xiaofeng raised her head and saw, not far away, several school gates standing tall and proud in the cold wind.
"My dream was also to attend here, but I failed in my college entrance exams and didn’t get to as I had hoped." The original host did indeed have such a dream, but due to underperforming in the college entrance exams, she missed out on university.
"My dream is here as well, but whether I can get in or not remains unknown." The university in front of her was nationally renowned, coveted by not just outsiders but even the locals who were desperate to get in.
"Then you’ll need to work hard."
Walking past a newly built floor, they saw a rental advertisement, "Ground floor shop for rent, negotiable rent."
Xiaofeng paused, looked at the number on the sign, and then took in the surrounding environment. Overall, with schools around, the foot traffic was decent.
And not far away was a technology city, house to many high-tech workers.
Xiaofeng memorized the phone number and the location, thinking she would make time to come here again.
But by the time she was free to come over, the place might not be free to wait for her: "Xiaonian, Shuiling, I think this place is good, I want to talk with the landlord. Are you familiar with this landlord?"
When you see a good location, you have to act decisively and cannot hesitate for a moment. Once you hesitate, the great spot you’ve set your sights on could easily become someone else’s prize.
Xiaonian shook her head.
Shuiling thought for a moment, "How about I give my third brother a call and ask him?" Her third brother was a businessman, with wider connections; he might be able to help.
"I’ll go ask right now, to see what the landlord has to say." Xiaofeng told Shuiling and Xiaonian to wait for her ahead while she approached the construction workers onsite. One of the workers pointed to an old man not far away, "He is the landlord, you talk to him."
"Sir." Xiaofeng saw the man was busy working, she walked over and said, "I saw a notice outside about the ground floor being for rent."
The landlord looked to be just over sixty, with sparse hair and the kind that was balding at the top, his face was small, and his eyes were sharp.
The landlord’s surname was Yuan; he looked up at the newcomer, a mere girl, "What is it?"
"Sir, the thing is, I’m quite interested in this shop space. If I were to rent the whole place, I wonder what the price would be." In the Imperial Capital, and near schools at that, to open a supermarket naturally meant going big, although the scale couldn’t be too large, as that would be more than she could manage.
"Girl, all of these shop spaces combined are more than eight hundred square meters; you think you can handle all that?" Old man Yuan listened as his visitor spoke confidently, and he dropped the brick from his hand.
