Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Choosing an Auspicious Time Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Choosing an Auspicious Time Several people sat in the teahouse opposite, waiting for several hours, which is why Gu Ya and Su Ningxiu came back so late after they left.
Su Ningxiu anxiously stared at the Wu Mansion across the way until she saw the man who had promised to marry her, the one who said he liked only her, walking out with another woman, paired together.
Su Ningxiu felt her heart go instantly cold.
The things her younger sister and brother-in-law had said were all true.
In an instant, Su Ningxiu felt as if everything about her was a joke; she laughed mockingly at herself and after the man entered the mansion, she left the teahouse in a daze.
Su Zhongshi and Su Muze, afraid that something might happen to Su Ningxiu, quickly followed her. Gu Ya, after settling the bill for the tea, also left the teahouse. The young wife asked.
Gu Ya explained to Su Yunjin in detail what had happened after Su Ningxiu left, telling her that her second sister even went to verify it herself.
To see firsthand the man she liked with a wife and concubines, even surrounded by children, no wonder her second sister came back looking so distraught. “Husband, you don’t think anything will happen to second sister, do you?” Su Yunjin genuinely worried that her second sister couldn’t handle the blow. Gu Ya didn’t think so, and assured the young wife not to worry.
“Yunjin, after your second sister confirmed today that the man had deceived her and she left without causing a scene at the Wu Residence, it shows that your second sister isn’t one to cling to the past. Don’t worry, she’ll be fine in a few days once she comes to terms with it.”
Hopefully it would be so.
Su Yunjin pushed some rice around in her bowl. Despite the table full of dishes, her appetite had disappeared due to her second sister Su Ningxiu’s affair, and she ate only a little before putting down her chopsticks.
The young wife had barely touched the meal on the table. How could she not eat? Gu Ya picked up her favorite crab meat and placed it in her bowl.
Cajoling her, “Yunjin, be good, eat a little more.”
Su Yunjin pushed the bowl in front of her. “Husband, I’m not hungry. I don’t want to eat.”
Gu Ya’s face grew stern.
“You have to eat; you’ve been tired all day. How can you not have a meal?” Coaxed by Gu Ya, Su Yunjin ate half a bowl of rice.
And that’s how second sister Su Ningxiu’s matter was left behind. Su Yunjin wanted to visit her, but she thought that what her second sister needed most now was some time to calm down by herself.
She would probably be of no use if she went now. It would be better to wait until her second sister had sorted out her thoughts. Therefore, Su Yunjin did not go to see her second sister Su Ningxiu.
Instead, she continued to busy herself with preparations for opening the store.
After a period of preparations, Su Yunjin had mostly everything ready for the store. The only thing left was to decide on an opening date.
The store’s opening was a big affair.
Su Yunjin originally planned to open the store whenever everything that needed to be done was ready. But Gu Ya said they needed to choose an auspicious day for the opening.
They aimed for good fortune.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Su Yunjin thought choosing an auspicious day was not a bad idea. Although she wasn’t necessarily convinced it mattered, having a good omen was always beneficial.
Gu Ya said he would find a feng shui master in the market to help them choose the date.
Su Yunjin agreed this was a good approach.
And so it was decided.
Eager to get the store up and running, before Gu Ya left, Su Yunjin reminded him, “Husband, when you look for a feng shui master, find the nearest auspicious day, so we can finalize the date and open the store soon.”
