Rebirth in the XNUMXs: The Hot Mom is in Charge

Chapter 23 The way you do things is beautiful
Shen Qingyue was a little overwhelmed by his words. She had mixed feelings in her heart, but she couldn't suppress her heartbeat.

"Huh," she snorted deliberately.

"It's not just the way you look good..."

She has always been beautiful, okay?
Jiang Mingyuan smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

His eyes slid from Shen Qingyue's jade-like forehead, lingering on those talking eyes, then moved down to the delicate little nose, and finally stopped on the slightly raised red lips.

"Indeed." He said slowly, and every word seemed to carry his unique coldness and distance.

"You don't just look good when you do things. You have a face that few women can compare to."

A trace of surprise flashed across Shen Qingyue's eyes. She didn't expect Jiang Mingyuan to praise her so much.

But Shen Qingyue was not easily fooled by sweet words. She looked at him calmly, with a hint of teasing in the corner of her mouth.

"It feels weird coming out of your mouth."

Jiang Mingyuan did not respond immediately. He just stared at Shen Qingyue deeply, as if he wanted to see something on her face.

The silence this time was more like an invisible gap between the two.

Finally, he spoke slowly: "Before... I didn't know how to appreciate it."

Shen Qingyue smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Do you understand now?"

In this subtle and ambiguous atmosphere, Shen Qingyue raised her eyebrows slightly, as if provoking.

"Jiang Mingyuan, you really didn't know how to appreciate it before. Now, have you changed your perspective because of your memory loss?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xudong burst into the kitchen like a gust of wind. His cheeks were rosy and his bright eyes were full of children's unique curiosity and vitality, breaking the silence and complexity between adults.

"Mom, dad," he said while panting, "I've finished the painting, come and take a look!"

Shen Qingyue's eyes immediately softened, a mother's unique gentleness flashed across her face, and she responded with a smile.

"Okay, mom will come over right away."

Jiang Mingyuan also softened his expression, although his smile was always a little indifferent.

"Dongdong's paintings must be very good."

Jiang Xudong held their hands, one on the left and one on the right.

He didn't notice the slightly complicated emotions between his parents and simply shared his happiness.

Dongdong's painting shows a simple home with blue sky, white clouds and green grass.There were three people standing in the middle of the home - a tall figure, a petite figure and a lively little boy.

"Look, this is dad, this is mom, and this is me!" Dongdong's face was full of pride and expectation.

Jiang Mingyuan leaned over and took a look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Very good, Dongdong's painting is great." Although he said it coldly, his tone revealed true appreciation.

Shen Qingyue patted Dongdong's head gently, her eyes full of doting: "Yes, Dongdong's painting style is unique. Even my mother can't draw so well."

Dongdong looked at the two of them and smiled like a flower.

But Shen Qingyue had mixed feelings in her heart.

She looked at Jiang Mingyuan with eyes as deep as a deep pool. Although she was praising Dongdong just now, she always felt that there was a bit of hypocrisy in it.

This kind of him is very different from what he used to be.

If you really love Dongdong so much, how could you not care about the life or death of their mother and son in your previous life?

The uneasiness in her heart became more and more serious, and her alienation from Jiang Mingyuan became deeper and deeper.It seemed that we had to take action as soon as possible, earn enough money, and then take Dongdong away from this man.

Shen Qingyue looked at the painting, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.

Dongdong, mother promises that we will have a real, happy home...

The next day, Shen Qingyue set up her food stall in the city as usual.

The morning light filtered through the tall sycamore trees and shone mottledly on her calm face.

After observing the city, Shen Qingyue frowned slightly.

Sure enough, the jelly business will not last long...

In less than a week, there is already a replica.

A competitor, Aunt Li, who also sold snacks in the market, became jealous when she saw that Shen Qingyue's business was booming.

She had been planning for a long time, and today she finally found an opportunity to accuse loudly in front of many customers: "Everyone can see clearly, the hygiene of her stall is really a problem. Look at this -"

Aunt Li said while pointing to a pile of garbage that happened to be blown by the wind next to Shen Qingyue's stall.

"Can you buy food in a place like this? It's just a joke on everyone's health!"

The calmness between Shen Qingyue's brows did not show any fluctuation. She looked at Aunt Li calmly, and then said to the crowd who gathered.

"Everyone, you might as well see for yourselves whether my stall is clean and whether my jelly is fresh. Everyone has listened to Aunt Li's words, but as for the truth, please use your own eyes to identify it."

Shen Qingyue's tone was calm but strong, causing the crowd around her to lower their heads to check involuntarily. They saw that her stall was indeed tidy and flawless except for the pile of foreign garbage pointed out by Aunt Li.

"Shen Qingyue, don't think that you can fool him by saying a few nice words!" Aunt Li's voice became even sharper when she saw that her plan had not succeeded.

Shen Qingyue just smiled slightly, and there seemed to be detachment and detachment against the unreasonable accusation hidden in that smile.

"Aunt Li, what matters in business is craftsmanship and integrity. Without these, it's useless to just talk."

The customers nodded in agreement. Many of them were Shen Qingyue's repeat customers and their craftsmanship and hygiene habits were obvious to all.

As for Aunt Li, she could only lose her face in front of everyone. Knowing that she was wrong, she retreated angrily.

Shen Qingyue had not fully recovered from the dispute just now. The afternoon sun was shining slantingly, the streets were bustling with people, and the vendors on the streets were beginning to reach the peak of their business.However, she soon noticed Aunt Li's new actions.

Aunt Li seemed to be very energetic today. She not only rearranged her stall, but also loudly announced to the passing customers: "Come, come, come, fresh jelly, special price! It's half cheaper than the one next door!"

Shen Qingyue looked over indifferently, knowing in her heart that Aunt Li was starting a price war in order to compete for customers.

Indeed, many customers had gathered in front of Aunt Li's stall. For a while, Shen Qingyue's stall had very few customers.

An uncle selling fish next to him looked at Shen Qingyue and shook his head.

"Qingyue, the prices next door have been lowered. I'm afraid it's hard for people to come and buy from you. Why don't you consider lowering the price as well?"

Shen Qingyue thought for a while, then smiled slightly.

"Uncle, it's easy to lower the price, but it's difficult to ensure quality. I care more about my customers being able to eat truly delicious and safe food."

A bowl of jelly costs [-] cents, how else can you lower the price?

Besides, she doesn't plan to make jelly anymore.
